MAY PURCHASE LARGER
SUGAR SUPPLY AT TIME

Columbia.-All retail dealers in
sugar in South Carolina have been au-
thorized by the Food Administration
to sell to consumers a two weeks sup
ply OF sugar at one time, allowing two
pounds per person per month. This
means, for instance, that if there are
six persons in a family, the head OF
the household may purchase six
pounds of sugar at one time. During
any one month, however, dealers must
not sell more than the ration of two
pounds per person or, in the case al.
ready referred to, not more than IL
pounds, as this arrangement is being
made by the Food Administration
merely for the convenience Of the
consumer, and does not by any means
imply any slackening Of the sugar
regulations. The necessity of conserv-
Ing sugar is as urgent as ever.
According to new instructions given
dealers, they are required to keep a
record in writing of all the sugar sold
to individual customers. This record
must show the name of the purchaser
of the sugar, his postoffice address, the
amount of sugar purchased, and the
date on which the purchase is made.
These records must be kept where
they will be available for inspection
by representatives of the Food Ad-
ministration.
The rule limiting the sale of sugar
to two pounds at one time to people
living in towns and cities, and to
five pounds to persoLs residing in ru-
raj sections has been repealed.

Columbia.-Losses OF live stock,
killed on railroad rights Of way, in
South Carolina, are upwards of $4,000
O year. The loss cannot, however, be
measured in terms Of money. AS
Charles Barham, Of the Food Admin
istration, traffic and transportation
department, has expressed it, Money
is the cheapest thing in America to-
day" The loss is in meat and leather,
so sorely needed by the government
for the nations fighting men. Since
the greatest proportion of the losses
are in scrub" stock-stock which
could and otherwise would be fatten-
ed and prepared for the slaughter
house-the potential loss, in meat,
leather and fats, is probably more
than 100000 a year in South Caro-
lima alone This is, furthermore, a
less which can be avoided.
The State Council of Defense has
realized the seriousness Of these
losses at a time when meat, leather
and fats are too precious to be vast
ed; and following conference held
this week with Mr.. Barham and sew
eral railroad officials, is making a per-
sonal appeal to the owners of live
stock throughout the state, asking
them, in the public interest and as a
patriotic duty, to keep their stock DIP.
Live stock owners are being asked
to sign pledges to safeguard their
stock against being killed or manned
by passing trains. There is only one
way-that is to keep the stock up so
they cannot wander near the railroad.
Money cannot replace hogs and cattle
killed in this way.
In communities where there is no
stock law in force, citizens are urged
by the Council OF Defense and the
Food Administration to protect their
own interests and the national inter
est by taking immediate steps looking
toward the adoption of such laws.

Columbia.-Under the rules of the
Food Admini~tration now in effect, un-
der which four pounds of wheat -four
may be purchased to one pound Of
substitutes, known as the 1920 rule
this substituting the $3.50 rule-farm-
ers may purchase -four, in this proper
ton, upon the surrender to their deal
ers of millers' certificates. The Food
Administration has again authorized
the use of millers' certificates, and
county food administrators have been
notified to this effect by William FL
lott, Federal Food Administrator for
South Carolina.
The farmer may, for instance, take
his corn to the mill and have it ground
into either meal or corn -four (uot
hominy or grits), secure a miller's GER
tifcate showing the number Of pounds
of corn or corn -four ground, take this
certificate to the retail dealer in -four,
surrender it to him, and buy from the
dealer four pounds of wheat flour for
each pound of corn -four Or corn meal
he has had ground, as shown on his
certificate, without purchasing addi-
tional substitutes with his -four.
The only wheat flour substitutes
which retailers may require their GUS
toners to accept in buying wheat -four
under the rules of the Food Admin
istration at present in effect, are corn
-four, corn meal or barley flour. If
the farmer has his own corn ground,
and agrees to use such substitutes,
and has his miller's certificate to show
for it, he is not required to buy addi-
tional wheat -four substitutes, but the
dealer is authorized to sell him, in the
proper proportions, on the strength of
millers' certificates.
The millers' certificate rule does
not, however, permit merchants to sell
-four on such certificates which show
that the farmer has had his corn
ground into hominy or grits.

IN his little volume entitled Courage, it
is possible at all times 10 read person
atty rich In enthusiasm, alive to every i'm
preston and lovable in the extreme.
HE was always alert and for himself
and his comrades his ardor was ike a
magical carpet" Witter Bynner says in
his Introductory note. "His poems re-
main bright token of his impetuous life,
distinguished from some of the more con-
sciously literary poems of other soldier
poets by their dramatic directness, with
just enough technical knowledge, by their
simple human gesture, their quick fervor
of boyhood, their impatient demand that
life be- sure, swift, happy thing"
At Dinner IN the Club With Some Pals,
he hears the orchestra and yearns for Bar
akeesh, his dream-city, thinks how far it
is from the war and ends on sadder note.
"Yet-in an English lane
There is a cottage
And in it an old woman
With a young girl beside her
Weeping before faded photograph Of
CHEEKY youth
In the uniform Of a sergeant in the
Yorkshires."
Poems Of Barakeesh, handful Of war
verses, some prose poems, several love
songs to Hildreth and among the nclas-
sifed, his strongest work. One is struck
by Jack Harley, Respectable, a protest
against lack Of courage, and nothing that

What are ones sensations when being

brothers found out when they caught the
old monster of Hampton Island. What
can it be ike to be standing chest deep
in the creek, feel firmly and inextricably
planted in the mud, when the fin of
man eating shark is seen cutting the
water almost at your elbow7 One of the
vcnturesome brothers learned to his hor-
ror, and the tale is told in The Specter Of
Tiger Greek.
Tie setting Of the stories is wild and
romantic, the old plantation having besn
situated on the lower Santee River in
South Carolina. The long leaf pine for
ests, the swamps and brakes that are in
terspersed in it and the seacoast are all
scenes Of adventure. In addition to ex-

on the Old Plantation. That is, not until
they have read the very last of the adj
venture stories that Archibald Rutledge
presents in his new volume Of tales Of
old plantation days-tales Of the sort that
whisk the reader far away and set him
down breathless and expectant only step
behind Tom and his brother as they fare
afield IN quest Of excitement.
You feel that actual events rather than
fiction are presented in all of the sixteen
stories that make up the volume, and the
impression is heightened by the fact that
the author dedicates the book to his
brother, Thomas Pinskney Rutledge.
