WHEAT FOR DUTCH.
HOlland Must Send for Grain.

Holland Must Send for Grain.
Washington, May 21.-HOlland has
been notified by the United States gov
ernment that her request for three
ships now in American ports to carry
the balance of the grain promised her
by President Wilson can not be
granted, and that to prevent further
delay in the movement Of the grain
Dutch ships should be sent for it at
once.
The fact that this step had been
taken became known today soon after
the receipt of press dispatches an.
nouncing that The Netherlands gov.
ernment had prohibited the depar-
ture of Dutch ships from its ports Of
ficials were at loss to understand
the meaning Of Hollands action,
though 1t was assumed that the atti-
tude of Germany was responsible.
More than 100000 tons of Dutch ship
ping are idle in Dutch ports accord
ing to information in the possession
OF the state department.
Fifteen thousand tons of cereals are
ut ports of embarkation for Holland
and by the time ships come for it
there will be enough to make up the
900 tons remaining to be supplied
Of the $4,000 tons promised. Holland
has been warned that this supply can
not be maintained indefinitely.
The state department pointed out
to the Netherlands government that
as a special concession to provide for
urgent needs of that country the war
trade board permitted the departure
from the United States of three ships
with $4,000 tons Of cereals on con-
dition that replacing ships would be
sent from Dutch ports simultaneously.
In addition to the grain being ac-
c'mulated at Atlantic ports $4,000
tons are being concentrated at Argen-
tine ports. 1t is understood Holland
will be asked to send ships for this
also.
The Dutch steamer Hollandia, au-
thorized to ship cargo of grain from
the Argentine for Holland, being un-
able to take on full cargo because
of the low water in the River Platte,
Will be permitted to come to an
American port where 500 tons of
American grain will be taken on.
Shipments Of grain rations promis-
ed Norway under the recent trade
agreement are going forward.

HagOOd's News and Views.

Yesterday, May the 18th, was Chill
dren's Day at Bethesda. The exer-
cises were to have begun at 10 a. m.
At that hour the superintendent. w:

waiting. We have among us a veri-

cises began by the children march,

prayer by Fl. G. Bethea, then anoth-
er song, followed by an address by
the superintendent as to the object OF
the Children's Day, then another song
by the children, etc.
We have attended children's day
exercises many times, but never be-
fore have we seen them pass off so
we'll as on this occasion, due to the
efficient management and excellent
training of Miss Aurelia Mayer. the
teacher of the Stateburg school. Ev-
erything went off without a hitch any,
where, no reading of programme or
calling of names. 1t was a most
pleasurable occasion
Quite number of our people were
in Sumter Sunday afternoon in at

cises, among whom we may msa-

those days it was a word and a blow.
The songster died, but the song
went on swelling in volume and mel

world lasts. and so will croakers, but
today the treatment of the latter is
quite mild. Say, if you don't like my
song, just keep mum and we will try
to endure it. But we have our heroes
and we have them one and all.

lands than the red clay--these lands
certainly lie better than the clay hills
and are easier to farm. We saw fine
fields OF alfalfa in Laurens and Green
