TUSCANiA STRCCK
WITHOUT WiRHi,IG a.
Ahaut Dusa Torpedo Hit s2s.el
AmidshigS, Causing Her to Ei5t
Immediately.

Belfast, Ireland. Wednesday, fea. 8
The liner Tuscania received no
warning and had 70 sight Of the sub
marine that sank her. Just at DISK
a torpedo struck her full amidships
Immediately afterwards another
torcaAo wcs noticed TO pass her
stern. She Immediately took big
list and the men were called to their
coat stations. The list OF the vessel
prevented proper lowering OF the life
boats and many jumped into the wa
ter.
Many of the casualties occurred
during the lowering CT the life boats
from the upper deck.
The survivors on landing were re-
ceived with great hospital lity by diff
ferent organizations which fitted
them out with clothing and supplied
other comforts. They were lodged IL
the largest hotels where hot meals
were Immediately provided.
Several bodies were brought ashore
from the steamer. They were those
of men who had succunbed to their
injuries or to exposure. The bodies
were deposited in the morgue.
There was no panic on board the
steamer.

THREE HUSKY FELLOWS READY TO
HELP OUT IN THE LABOR SHORTAGE
P. J. n. c.

six times this amount of money ex-
pended in labor. For example, one
ton of good fertilizer will now cost
about $4,000. The plant food in this
quantity when applied to three acres
of land will give an increase Of about
$50 pounds of lint cotton and 1,500
pounds of seed. The lint at soc per
pound amounts to S225.00, and the
seed at $4,000 per ton amounts to
$4,000, making a total of S2s5.O0.
Few business concerns net SO per
cent increase on money invested in
labor, but. granting that the farmer
will net 100 per cent on his invest
ment in labor, and supposing that he
pays S1.O0 per day for labor, the
$46.O0 invested in fertilizer, when in
vested in labor, would net him $4,000;
whereas, when invested in fertilizer, 1t
gives him net increase Of S239.00.
Thus it can be seen the tremendous
advantage of surplementing labor
with liberal applications of plant food
Likewise an improved piece Of ma
chinery that makes it possible to cul-
tivate an acre of cotton or corn with
perhaps half the labor ordinaril. en-
ployed, and cultivate it better, should
be looked to at this time as source
of help in, facing the labor shortage.
Good seed Of a strain known to do
well in a community will do much to-
ward increasing yields. without an in-
crease of acreage.
Is this not time when the farmer
should be sure to use these three crop
makers, to the fullest extent, to OF
set the labor shortage?

modify as labor 1t must not be vast
ed. Now is not the time to employ
labor to clean out fence corners, and
to do other kinds of the less produc'
tive work. There must be no lost mo-
ton. Every lick must be made to
count in answering the call of our ma
ton and her allies, who are calling out
to the farmer "Give us bread! Give US
clothing!"
The best way to economic labor
on the farm today is to produce more
per acre. The southern farmer will
act most unwisely if he tries to culti-
yate too much land with the present
supply of labor. A better plan would
be not to increase the acreage devoted
to cultivated crops, but to produce
more per acre, by the use Of fertiliz-
er, manure, good seed and improved
machinery, all of which will save la
Dor.
One ton Of good fertilizer will do
more work in growing crops than will

South Carolina Raised S5,eo3.73.
From R. NJ Kennedy, library cam
paign director for South Carolina, 1t ia
learned that the fund raised in South
Carolina for camp libraries was s5.-
803.7S. This exceeds the amount rails
ed in 10 other states. North Carolina,
for instances, raised only s4,559,.65,
Georgia contributed s6,164, and Vir-
ginia, s7,7S5S3.
The grand total in the United States
was over s1,500,OO0. oversubscrbins
the million dollar fund set as the OBJ
jective by more than half. Books
for soldiers and sailors in camps and
wherever assembled are, therefore, as
sured, and the American Library AS
sociation is now supplying them a.
rapidly as possible.
Camp Jackson and the other canton
ments in the state now have camp
libraries and the library buildings are
in process of erection.
Gifts of books and magazines con-
tinue to come in. Mr.. Kennedy has
received a great many donations, too
numerous to list, which he has turned
over to the camp.

it Is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
are ready for the transportation Of
Cur troops which the enemy can no:
sink"
This ship may have a hole 80 or
40 feet in diameter blown in her side
and she will remain afloat. Such a
hole would waterlog but one length
of the honey combed alright cells
Mr.. Sanders described in detail the
plan to keep ships afloat after the
had been torpedoed and the manner
in which it had been developed by
William F. Donnelly, New York en-
gineer, working under authorization
Of the navy consulting board.
''Of course it will take some time
to equip similarly the large number
of transport we have" continued Mr..
Saunders. at is NY bel;eI, however,

FARMERS SOUND A. WARNING.
Unless Some Relief is GiVen They
Fear a Serious Shortage IN
Crops.


from sixteen farm organizations
throughout the country today pledged
their loyalty to President Wilson IN
the war. but warned him that unless
steps were taken Immediately by the
government the country would face
serious crop shortage next harvest
They said threatening conditions are
beyond control of the farmers.
The following obstacles, they said,
must be removed:
Shortage of farm labor.
Shortage Of seed, feed, fertilizer.
farm implements and other agricul-
tural supplies.
Lack of reasonable credit.
Prices often below the cost OF pre-
fluction.
Justified belief Of the farmer tha.
he is not regarded as a partner in the
great enterprise of winning the war.
''Unless the government grasps the
vital seriousness Of the situation,
said memorial presented by them,
land forthwith takes steps to help, a
corn shortage is certain in spite OF
any and all things farmers can do to
prevent it. The government, We un-
derstand, will spend some four billion
dollars to assist commercial enter
prises to produce munitions o. war.
We approve Of this action, recogniz-
. ing that it is necessary. Assistance
for food production in this crisis
does not involve any such vast ex-
penditure. But without such assist
ance, vigorously and promptly given,
it will remain impossible for farmers
to grow crops required"
The farm delegates ask the fur
Tough Of trained farmers in the army
back to the farm, to remain so long
as their services are more useful IN
agriculture than In the army. They
claim that the classification of reg1st-
rants under the selective draft is put
ting skilled farm workers IN class
one.
They recommend the immediate aD-
pointment Of farmer commission, to
sit permanently in Washington and
to consist Of nine farmers to be Sc
lected by the president
