Charleston, May 1l.--Thc greatest
campaign ever undertaken in South
Carolina will be conducted during the.
month Of June in The interest OF the
War Savings movement. Many thous-
ands Of voluntary workers will be
enlisted and will engage in activi-
ties on an unprecedented scale cul-
mnating Oh June 2S, which presi-
dent Wilson will officially designate
at National War Savings Day. In
mayors will issue official prOclama-
tons. The purpose Of this intensive
campaign will be to get the people
Of the nation to pledge themselves to
greatest possible amount in War Saw
n9S Stamps during the remainder Of
the year.
The men, wome. and children Of
pledge themselves to invest $32,000,-
900 during the year. Each individual
to pledge whatever amount he or she
can, up to $1,000, the limit allowed
by law. In the Third Liberty Loan.
the nation was expected to raise
three billions Of dollars. Of which
South Carolina's share was $1o,000,-
600. In the War Savings Campaign
the nation is to save two billions OF
dollars, Of which this states share
is $32,000000. over twice its Liberty

Hidden Seas

In boring for oil, it is common ex
per1ence for the drill to strike enor
nous flows of salt water. Formerly
this salt water was supposed to be rain
water, which soaked through beds of
salt ON its way down to some chasm
IN the bowels of the earth, says Roches-
ter Union and Advertiser. The latest
scientific opinion is inclined to believe
that the salt water comes from prehis-
tor1c oceans, buried in the earth by
geologic changes, In much the same
way that buried forests gave rise to
the coal beds. These hidden oceans
are not conceived as lying in a subter-
ranean space or hollow, but as filling
the billions on billions of crevices in
beds Of porous rock.

WINTER STOPS THE INSECTS
Black Ground Beetles and Others Not
Killed. But Merely, Experience
Suspended Animation.

With the coming of the frosts an6
freezing weather the insects are ST.
fenced, and as long as the temperature
holds below so degrees Fahrenheit
they are rendered also inactive, &C
cordlng to writer. Above that the
harder beetles and grasshoppers. along
with a few spiders, are moving about,
and when the sunshine warns the air
more and more certain moths and but
terfi1es and two-winged flies, including
the gnats, are on the wing.
Some species of insects feel the eff
fects of cold far less than others. and
this does not seem to be Influenced by
sturdy bodies, hairy coverings or the
situations in which they are found,
The gnats are among the most fragile
species, but they and the slim-bodied
water striders are found active later
In the autumn and earlier in the spring
than any other creatures, excepting
perhaps the mOurning-clOak butter
ny and the wasps, all of these crea-
lures responding 10 the sunshine on
the warmer, thawing days of winter.
The black ground beetles also are
quickly resuscitated by slightly warm
er airs.
Th1s proves the fact that most in !
sects are not normally killed by cold,
put merely experience suspended ami
nation, and are ready to resume their !
activity after any length Of time.

HOME T. :
TOWN zS1 Q
MORE HOME GARDENS NEEDED
Necessity Will BE Greater cor;nc
Year and Organization and Coop
Grafton Should Be Begun Now.

Cooperation has been suggested az
q solution of many problems in farm
| production, and now J. T. Rosa. Je.
OF the University Of Missouri college OF
| agriculture suggests cooperation as q
means OF reducing production cost for
the vacant lot gardener. The average
city gardener is not in position to pIow
ana prepare a garden plot himself.
Nar. Rosa suggests that q number of
gardeners in given neighborhOod en-
pioy man and team to prepare their
gardens. In this way the expense can
De divided among them and the man
ana team can be kept busy throughout
the day. If the community garden
movement is extensive enough men
and teams may be hired by the day or
week. and each gardeners plot can he
fitted in turn. In this way the work
can be done more cheapIy than whera
each gardener hires his plot prepared
Dy the Job. A great deal of trouble
can also be eliminated. Other advan-
i tages, such as purchasing fertilizers.
manure, seeds, plants and other gar
den supplies can be had through CO.
operative effort.
Since the spring garden should be
planned in the fall, Mr.. Rosa suggests
that organization be effected immedi-
ately. The advantages of fall blowing
and fall manuring have been demon
strated. The work should be done
while the weather permits.
Cooperation will also provide eff
Client means Of marketing the surplus
products. Mr.. Rosa suggests that ev-
cry town have an organization of this
sort. Ii the project is not supported
Oy some other civic organization, the
municipal authorities, or some indus
trial concern, the community garden
movement should be organized on an
independent basis. If the movement is
large enough technically trained man
or woman might be employed to SUPER
the work. This would be advisable
only where the community garden plan
was extensive and where the garden
ers were we'll organized. While it may
1ot De possible to organize the whole
own, 1t is entirely possible for neigh
oors to obtain some of the benefits of
he organization by cooperating in
preparation of their garden plots. The
necessity for home gardens will be
'reater than ever in 1918, and plans
mould be made Immediately, so that
ne garden work will be more efficient
nd give better results during the
Oming season.

Diversity Of Equipment.

The first thing to be done for the
new army was to provide them with
shelter and clothing, food and
warmth. That large undertaking ia
all but accomplished. Equally great
Is the task, of providing arms. To arm
an infantry division in the Civil war
meant to provide as many muskets and
as many bayOnets as there were men
In the command. In the present war
the job is more complicated. There are
rifles and bayonets to be furnished
now as formerly, but there are also
grenades and gasEnasks and helmets
and trench mortars to be seen to. Each
OF the four infantry regiments in & d.,
vision must have 48O trench knives,
