WILL. Buy FORAGE
FOR ARMY CAMPS
South Carolina Farmers Who Havs
Forage to Offer Will Find Ready
Market In This State-AH Crfers
Will BE Given Consideration.

Columbia.-August Kohn, chairman
Of Conservation and Production OF
the Food Administration for South
Carolina, has received letter from
the Chief of the Forage Branch of the
War Department, Quartermassers
Division, stating that offers OF forage
from farmers and dealers having 1t
for sale in the neighborhood Of the
army camps and cantonments will be
gladly received and will be given con-
sideration.
"In fact, says the letter, we are
here to buy forage for the government
wherever we can do so to the best ad-
vantage, all things considered"
It is advised when contractors or
farmers are submitting their propos-
ais on forage they should state the
kind and grade Of forage they have to
sell, the quantity and its location, the
time they can make shipment, and the
price. If prices are satisfactory, pur-
chases will be made, it Is assured.
All proposals should be addressed to
Chief Of the Forage Branch, Office OF
the Quartermaster General, United
States Army, Lytton Building, Chicas
90, Ill.
Mr.. Kohn has been working for
some time past to assure this assur-
ance from the Government, as it has
been felt that farmers in this and other
States, who have forage to sell should
be given consideration, especially
when it Is considered that the camps
and cantonments offer the natural
market, and the saving In freight to
the Government would be factor not
to be disregarded

ALLIED FOOD CONTROLLERS
URGE ELIMINATION OF WASTE.

Columbia.-Herbert Hoover, federal
food administrator, has cabled the fol-
lwoing joint resolution Of the Food
Controllers Of the United States,
France, Italy and Gres Britain back
to America:
Resolved, that while the increased
production of the United States rem
ders it possible to relax some Of TIE
restrictions, which have been Borne
with peculiar hardship upon all our
peoples, yet it is absolutely necessary
that rigid economy and elimination Of
waste, in the consumption and hand
ling Of all foodstuffs as well as In
creased production, should be main
tanned throughout the European allied
countries and In North America, It
is only by such economy and elfmina-
tion Of waste that the transportation
of the necessary men and supplies
from North America to the European
front can be accomplished and that
stocks of foodstuffs can be built up in
North America as an insurance
against the ever present danger Of
harvest failure and the possible neces-
sity for large and emergency drafts
to Europe. We canot administer the
food problem on the basis Of one
years war. We must prepare for it's
long continuance If We are to insge
absolute victory"

Columbia.-Housewives who prac-

1ninistration to go absolutely without

of wheat substitutes with their wheat

Victory Bread, which must contain at

COOPERATION NECESSARY TO
PREVENT SUGAR FAMINE.

olumbia.-There Is shortage Of
sugar. There will be no sugar famine.
This is the assurance given by the
Food Administration.
While manufacturers using sugar
and the trade are under rigid restric-
tions, conservation Of sugar in the
household Is no honor; but the Food
Administration is able to give positive
assurance that there will be no s ar
famine only upon the presU.. on
that the American people are going
to conscientiously and patriotically
live up to the regulations-an allow
ance for the household Of two pounds
per month per person.
''We cannot in honor compel Europe
to do with less while we take more
Tor ourselves" says the Food Admin
istration.
Canning is good economy, and sugar
Tor canning may be had on certificates,
but so far as possible fruits and vege-
tables should be put up without sugar.
The success Of the sugar program OF
the Food Administration depends
largely upon the honor and coopera.

CONTRIBUTED VERSE
KULTUR?

Gy IndFleS y. NoYc.
The shells are screeching through the
air,
And bombs are bursting everywhere,
The big guns all are roaring;
The Allies all along the line
Are going strong across the brine,
AS on the Huns come pouring.
The Germans do not count their loss,
They only fear their kaiser-boss,
Who seeks the worlds dominion.
They're sacrificed in thousands round
To please this domineering hound,
This crazy headed minion.
No words are harsh enough to say,
No treachery too great to play
Against these children killers,
Who render out their dead for grease
But practice ''kultur" during peace CO
Then grind their bones for tillers.
So we're at war with such as these,
Who boast they'll bring us to our knees
Before the fight is over,
But wait till Pershing, Haig and Foch
Start out to trim the pesky boche-
They'll drive them all to cover.
Our battle lines may twist and curve,
The Huns will try to get our nerve,
But they will never break it.
The morale of our fighting lads
Is stronger than these Hunnish cads--
Their lies shall never shake it.
Well fight this war for years to come
Before We'll let the "kultured' Hun
Win out in Freedoms battles.
They must be taught their lesson well,
And pay for all this earthly hell,
These Huns the kaiser's chattels.

The good roads

also for industrial purposes. The good roads
movement has not been taken seriously enough
by most of our people. Too many reserved the
development of that phase of our national well
fare to persons upon whom was wished the name
of "cranks" and "dreamers." Today we see that
the "cranks" and "dreamers' had more good
common sense stored in their thinking boxes
than the persons who condemned them.
Next to it's strategic advantage, the only rea-
son that prompted military men to choose the
National road for military highway was the
permanent improvements that had been COM
pleted or were in progress of completion. When
the road is hard-surfaced from here to Indian
apolis, it will be route of great Importance in
dustrially and railitarily. 1t will afford great
relief to the rail congestion and give merchants
a quick service.

Motor transportation and Highways

Relief for freight congestion is sought ir mo-
tor truck transportation. The determining fac
tor in the success of this form of transportation
is the condition of the highway over which the
route passes. 1t is apparent that poor roads
will prevent the passage of heavily laden trucks
and that hard surface road will invite this form
of transportation.
The value of the National road, which passes
through Wayne county, as military highway
has been pointed out long ago. Four years ago
few of us believed the time was so near when it
would be put into actual service for that purpose
But the decision of the war department to send
army trucks over this route to the Atlantic sea-
board proves how few months may radically
change our opinions.
It is to be regretted that the old historic high
way is not permanently improved all the way to
Indianapolis, but it is gratifying to know that
the work of hard-surfacing the road in Wayne
county is making progress. Every patriot hopes
that the work can be completed this year. so that
the military establishment may derive benefit
from the money which has been expended
Among other important things which the war
is teaching the American people is the value of
good strategic roads not only for military but

In discussion on the floor of the House a
few weeks ago, Representative Britten uttered a
thought that is worth keeping in mind. He was
referring to men who voted against every IN
crease in the army and navy five and six years
ago, and now, instead of getting down to real
study Of our war needs, take up the time OF Con-
gress with long addresses in which they extol
their patriotism and loyalty.
The United States knows that its representa-
tives and senators are loyal and is not asking
them to put themselves on record by long
speeches. What it expects it's representatives
and senators to do is to bend every effort to en-
act legislation that will help win the war. This
endeavor should be directed toward improve
ment in the war program and the enactment of
legislation that affects our internal relations so
far as they pertain directly and indirectly to the
war policy.
TO quote Representative Britten:
1.-THE member who has just preceded me said.

the country the idea that 1 am patriotic at last

like barnyard rooster about what was going

in order to induce people to believe that he is pa
