GREAT DEFENSIVE VIC

APPRECIATED WHEN
FIELDS OF HUN DEAD
ARE SURVEYED.
French Improved Their Posi-
tons Last Night in the
Vicinity of Locre and the
Britished Captured Num-
Der of Prisoners.
(RY Associated PreSSl


London, May 1.-French troops
improved their positions last night
in the neighborhoOd of Locre. The
British rushed German posts in
the Meteren sector and captured
a number of prisoners.
Additional details of Mondays
fighting confirm the fact that it
was the worst day the Germans
have experienced since the open
ing of the great offensive. Eng
lish newspapers now comment on
operations in tone OF confidence
not hitherto displayed. The Times
says:
''Of all the violent cOmbats wit
messed during the last few weeks
we know of none which is a more
hopeful algury for the Allies than
this ten-mile German failure
1t poined out that the public
is apt to reckon victory in terms
of offensive success, but that a
defensive victory like that of Mon
day may contribute equally toward
the ultimate object of the cam
paign, namely, the destruction of
the enemy's fighting strength.

make provisions to keep in the

Both for his virtues as a preach

Sugar Shortage Not Acute

The United States food admins
tration has issued the following state
ment concerning the sales sugar to
manufacturers:
"The new crop of sugars are now
arriving, but it will be some time
before the supply in the Atlantic
states is sufficient to fill all require
ments. Therefore refiners should
not increase sales to manufacturers uu
to eighty per cent until supplies are
ample. In the western section of the
country, where ample beet sugar sup
plies are available, reners and beet
sugar manufacturers should be per
mitted to supply manufacturers up to
eighty per cent. In other words.
sales should depend on condition of
supplies of the various states. 1t is
estimated that twenty per cent re-
striction on manufacturers will re-
suit in an annual conservation o.
several hundred thousand tons Of
sugar"

War Savings Stamps

Charleston, Jan.-The net results

$3O,O00,000 of the two billions which
the government expects to raise dur

state headquarters of the campaign.
r. Goodwin Rhett, state director. to-
day made the following statement:
"a review of the work accomplish

factory evidence that the state in
tends to do its share in this grc@-
work. Reports received from post
masters, county chairman, and other
agencies are encouraging. as thev
show that thousands of the citizens
are taking an active interest in tho
campaign, which is simply for the
purpose Of divertin% money to war

pended on unnecessary luXuries.
"We want every man, woman, and

win it at the earlies possible moment.
The government will pay in five years
$500 for every savings stamp BOUGHT
now for $4.12, which represents the
original price plus interest at A per
cent per annum, compounded quar-,
terly. The thrift stamps sell for 25c
each and can be converted into the
war savings stamps.
"Every postmaster in the state is
selling these stamps and will give
complete information about them
Postmen and rural carriers will de-
liver the stamps to any residence OF

FARM PROSPERITY
IS HOME made
Can Be Continued Indefinitely In
South II Farmers Do Their Part
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) )-That the
.!ressnt .Waye of farm prosperity" in
the South Is home made" and can he
continued Indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by III.
U. Hastings, President of both the
southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
OF farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price of cotton rather
than to its real cause"
NATURALLY, the high price has helped
a great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers pock-
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
1t instead of owing it to supply mcr-
chant at the end OF the season, as was
usually the case in times past. Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need Of few store purchases and
made few or no debts"
IF the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms"
Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1918.
The man who does it is foolish. The
whole world is snort Of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as Ger.
tain as sunrise each morning."
Real money-in-hand farm prosper.
ity Is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres of all the
food, meat. grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that Is proyid-
ed for. every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part of the cost
Of making cotton or other cash crop ia
In the food, grain and forage consum-
ed in making it.
"These items home made can he
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
and home production of them means
Just that much reduction in the cost
Of making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent just as long ss
our farmers continue their farm oner.
