The LOGICAL wan.

According to The Americas Times
Recorder VIM. J. Harris IS tbs choice
Of a majority of the counties in Ceor-
sia for United States senator to sue
coed Hardwiek, Mr., Harris seems to
be the logical man for the place and
il is likely that he will be conferred
on as the man with whom to beat the
Junior Senator from Georgia who has
played unfair to his constituency in
tie council of the nation. He rode
into office, claiming to be in sympathy
with President Wilson's policies, but
soon after going to Washington, turn
ed against the administration and his
actions have hindered the war pro
grams. Thousands of young Geor-
gians are responding to their coun-
try's call and it would be nothing
less that a positive shame for this
grand old state to be represented in
the United States Senate again by
Thos. W. Hardwick. The common
wealth of patriotic people must be
represented In the nations hibhest
councils by men who are imbuel with
q burning spirit Of the Hottest pa
triotism.-Commerce Observer.

"CASH-AND.CARRY. =

AS soon as the federal food con-
troll becomes really effective in Ame7i,
Gus in all of its phases, The Times
Recorder expects to witness a notable
Development of the cash-and-carry
plan which is in operation in many
cities.
This system works to the advantage
o. both the seller ana the purchaser.
The purchaser is given a lower
price. chiefly on the leading commodi-
ties like sugar and -four, if he pays
cash and takes the goods with him.
The storekeeper is thus enabled to
reduce his delivery facilities, and
thereby lessen his overhead expenses.
Once this plan is working in Ameri-
Gus. we believe it will find popular
favor, and gradually work itself to the
degree of being the predominating
feature of the grocery business.
only in the South has the delivery
system been carried to such extremes.
IN the north today fully fifty per cent
OF the stores make no deliyereios. and
customers in many other stores are
required to carried small purchases.
But in the towns in the South the
size of Americas q housekeeper has
no hesitancy IN telephoning the grocer
to send her a loaf of bread to
her home probably a mile or two from
his store If it could be figured out,
it would probably be disclosed that it
actually cost the grocer several times
his profit to make such delivery.
One of the chief aims of the federal
food administrator for Sumter county
will be 10 develop and promote the
cash-and-carry idea. When the public
thoroughly awakes to the fact that by
paying cash on the counter and taking
the goods along big saving viii be
achieved, it is more than likely that
the plan viii gain hold
For that matter, the taking away of
many men for the army is making
labor scarce, and merchants. on that
account, if for no other, are being
| obliged to limit their delivery force
Besides, their profits now are smaller
than ever before. and it is with diff
aculty that they can maintain the
enormous expense entaIed by the de-
livery system.
The public viii do wen to begin to
seriously consider the proposition 0.

TWO MORE NEUTRAL,
SHIPS SENT DOWN
One Is Bark and Other Small Sail.
ing Ship, Crew Of Bark Is
Landed, Others Fate Is
Unknown.

Washington, June 16.-Germany'
sea wolves have sunk two more neu-
trail vessels in American waters.
The latest victims of the raiders
which first made their appearance
off the Atlantic coast some three
weeks ago are the sailing ship Krings-
jaa and the bark Samoa, both Norwe-
giaE.
The crew of the former has been
picked up by an American warship
which is bringing them to an Atlantic
port and that of the latter was land
ed tonight at Norfolk.
Both vessels were sent down 80
miles off the Virginia coast. The
Samoa was sunk by she'll fire at 8
o'clock Friday morning, the Navy De-
partment announced today, but the
time and manner of the sinking of
the Kringsjaa had not been reported
70 the department late tonight Its
announcement concerning the Krings-
jaa, said:
"A United States man of war has
picked up all of the survivors of the
bark Kingsjaa which was sunk about
80 miles off the Virginia coast. They
are being brought to an Atlantic
port"
Only One U.BOat.
Although the report to the depart
ment might indicate that some of the
crew of the Kringsjaal had been kill
ed officials believed that the Ger
mans permitted all aboard the sail
ing ship to take to the boats before
sinking the vessel z
Since the Kringsjaa was sent Flown
in the same general locality~as the
Samoa it was believed tonight that
The same submarine had accounted
for the two ships. 1t also was re-
garded as certain that the same SUBJ
marine unsuccessfully attacked the
british steamer Keemun off the vir-
ginia Capes last Thursday evening.

CUTS SUGAR AND BEEF
Farther Regulations Issued BY Food
AdmjnlstratlOn-Is Important.

The following has been issued by
Food Administrator Dr. A. N. Wood
as coming from Washington:
The slogan of the United States Food
War!' was most emphatically brought
home to the people of the country in
new orders issued by Herbert C. Hoov-
er, food administrator far the United
States, and transmitted from the office
Of the State Food Administrator to all
county officials of this organized i'll
Arkansas.
The new orders pertain to the sale
OF sugar. which is limited to two
pounds in the city and FIVE pounds in
the country.
The maximum quantity o family is
permitted to buy is three pounds per
capita per month
In other words, if there are four in
a family, that family is entitled to
twelve pounds Of sugar. That amount
may only be purchased two pounds at
time. Grocers should give receipts
for each sale, showing date of pur-
chase. Sellers and buyers of sugar
are cautioned to observe this new rul-
ing.
Sugar for commercial canning is to
be allowed as needed. Sugar for home
canning is limited to sales of fifteen
pounds. When that is all used and
more sugar is needed for home can
ming, the County Food Administrator
may issue the necessary permit to get
additional sugar for that purpose only.
Exit the Beef
Beefsteak and roast beef will be al
lowed ON menus in hotels, restaurants
and public eating places during one
meal week only. Boiled beef may
be served but on two meals week In
place of beef, the use of pork and its
byproducts, ham, bacon and sausage,
is urged.

been stated, Food Will Win the War!"

TURN ON AUSTRiANS
GAIN ON NORTH LINE
Ground Retaken on Important Sectors

Miles from Venice on Lower
Part of Battle Front.

Not only are the Italians and their
British and French comrades in arms
holding in check the Austrian Often
sive along the greater part of the 100
mile battle front form the region
southeast of Trent to the Adriatic
sea, but they have turned aggressors
on some of the more important Sec
tors, especially in the mountain
regions.
Counter attacks in the hill country
in the north at several points have re-
suited in the occupation by the allies
OF ground won from them in the ini-
tial onslaught and the rectificatiOn
OF their lines, while a stiffening OF
the front along the Piave river has
made impossible for the time being
at least, further fording of the stream
by the enemy.
Hard Fighting Continues.
Hard fighting still is in progress,
however, with the Austrians bringing
the strongest kind of pressure to bear
against the allied armies on both
northern and eastern parts of the bat
tlefield in an endeavor to reach the
Lies and gain access in force to the
plains.
The strokes of the enemy are partic-
ularly violent on the Montello pla-
teau, the highest bit of ground along
the middle reaches of the Piave, the
capture of which would give him COM
mand of the roads leading through
Tresviso to Venice and a fairway
westward through the province OF
previso. The Italians are inflicting
heavy casualties on the troops of En-
peror Charles which crossed the river
at this point.
To the south from st. Andea to
F'ossalata, respectively, the northern
and southern flanks of the famous
Zenson loop, where last year the Aus
trians effected a crossing of the
Piave, only later to be driven back
with sanguinary loses, and from Fos-
salata to San Dona Di PiaNe the fight
ing also is of violent character with
the Italians heroically and successful
ly, according to the Rome War Office
holding the line of the river
Austrians Make Gains.
Between Candelu and the Zenson
loop, where the Austrians crossed the
Piave in Saturdays fighting the
Italians have driven them back to
the river bank and are endeavoring
to push them across the stream. The
latest Austrian official communica-
ton records the gain Of additional
ground west of San Dona Di Piave
and the capture of the village of
Capo Sile on the eastern edge of the
lagoon region, in the province of
Venetia and about 20 miles from the
city of Venice itself.
Thus far the Italians, British and
French troops have made prisoner of
more than 4,500 Austrians, while the
Austrian War Office aserts that
10000 prisoners have been taken by
the Austrians.
