VICTORY BREAD.
Sumter GrOccrs Sign Agreement TO
Sell Only Sumter Baked Bread.

Yesterday afternoon local Food Ad-
ministrators G.. A. Lennon, and L. L.
Reardon, accompanied by represen-
tatives of the New York Bakery of
Sumter, and the Sumter Bakery visit
ed the Sumter merchants who sell
bakers bread, the bakers having
samples of Sumter manufactured Vic
tory bread, rye bread, and quick
bread with them. Sumter county
home produced wheat and corn meals
are used in Sumter made breads
That helps Sumter farmers.
The following merchants cheer
fully signed an agreement that in
compliance with the request Of the
County Food Administration they
would for thirty days, beginning May
18th, 1918, purchase and offer for sale
no bread but Sumter manufactured
bread, and that during that time they
will not have any bakers bread ship
ped from any other place, and that
only Victory bread, quick bread and
rye bread will be sold by them. Sew
eral bread dealers are yet to be seen
but the following signed up yester-
day:

The fact that the Sumter merchants
so cheerfully entered into this agree
ment speaks we'll for their patriotism.
and it is now up to the people of
Sumter and Sumter county, the bread
consumers. and the housekeepers
more than any one else to exhibit To-
cal and national pride and patriotism
to keep Sumter in the lead as the
first city in South Carolina to show
that Sumter believes in backing the
government and patronizing home en-
terprises. Those who wish to help the
railroads to help the government win
the war by rapidly getting food to
our soldiers, instead of unnecessarily
hampering the railways by shipping.
or causing bakers bread to be shipped
into Sumter, have an opportunity to
show their patriotism by demanding
only Sumter manufactured bread af-
ter the thirty days are up.

The clerk was directed to request

purpose.

Program.


The dues for Red Cross members
became payable on the 1st OF May.
The Red Cross year runs from May to
May. 1t Is our purpose to collect the
one dollar from each member In this
month. have been informed by the
collectors that there are some who
stated that they joined since last MAY.
and that they did not think that they
should pay their dues until the expir-
alton OF twelve months from the time
they joined. III such ones will stop
and think for u moment. they will at
one reach the conclusion that their
position Is not properly taken. Those
who Joined in May. 1917. expended
their dollar just that much sooner
than those who joined since May. and
the ones who Joined since May, 1917.
ought to have joined In May. and by
paying their dollar now. they are not
out of any more money than those
who joined In May. 1917. but have
had the benefit Of the use or their
money little longer than those who
Joined In May. 1917.
In addition to this. IL we did not
have certain month In which to
collect dues. II would be an endless
job TO collect at the expiration of
twelve months from the time a per-
son joins.
i am also informed that there are
others who state that they do not
care to keep up their membership in
the Red Cross. III there Is any per-
SON anywhere in Sumter county who
is able to pay the membership fee OF
one dollar, but Is not willing to do
50. then such a one is not a desira BILE
person to be a member OF the Red
Gross. and will gladly contribute
the necessary money TO pay the way
OF such a one to Germany. where he
belongs. IL is the purpose to publish
the names OF all those who renew
their memberships, and also the
names OF those who refuse to renew
their membership. as we want the
people generally to know who are
willing to do their part in this war,
and who are not. No right thinking
person who Is able to contribute
financially to the Red Cross should be
willing not to do 80. and allow others
to carry the burdens. when he will
receive the same benefits. that Is. the
benefits which will come to us by the
victorious conclusion OF the war on
the part Of the Allies.
Any one who is able to. but unwil &.
ling to help ought not to be respected
as much as a German spy. because a
German spy is working as a sneak In
this country. yet he is loyal to his
own government. but any citizen OF
this country. who claims to be an
American, and is able TO help his
country. and wilfully refuses to do 80
is dlsloyal and should be held by all
right thinking people to be con-
temptible. and a disgrace 10 our pa

Red Cross Dues.

1t is with regret that we find there
is still some misunderstanding in the
minds of the public regarding the
time for the payment of Red Cross
dues. At an executive COM
mittee meeting some weeks ago,
after mature consideration and
for several good reasons, it
was decided to make May the month
for the payment of annual dues. The
work of the Red Cross in Sumter be-
gan at this season in 1917, and it
seemed advisable to make the fiscal
and working years coincide Then if
our members will give the matter a
little thought they will realize that a
fixed time for the payment Of dues is
the only practical solution of the
matter. for with a list of about two
thousand (and we hope to have it
much larger), it would take secre-
tary's whole time to send out notices
on the anniversary Of each members
entrance into the roll of the Red
Cross. Many other organizations have
this same method, therefore, the COM
mittee does not feel that it has taken
an unusually arbitrary step. Dues
may be paid at Red Cross headquar-
ters, but for the convenience of those
who do not care to take so much trou-
ole collectors are being sent to the
homes and business offices to receive
the dollars and leave the certificates
of membership.
"A few days ago many of us heard
sung that wonderful dramatic poem
'Flandersfields" with it's appealing
message. Saturday night man told
us in few but forceful words of the
sacrifices which are being made in
other lands than ours, to sustain the
men at the front. He told of the sol.
diers coming out of the trenches after
long hours under fire, and saddeI
still of those soldiers who could not
come out. but who had to be found
by Red Cross stretcher bearers ard
laid on the ground-hundreds OF
them-to wait in the dressing stations
for the Red Cross doctors and nurses
to bind up their unspcakable wounds
those men and women are sacrific-
ing themselves, but to carry on their
work they need supplies, surgical
dressings, medicines, instruments, and
for those supplies money is needed.
We cannot all of us do the work, but
We can give the money. We know
that the calls are numerous now. first
tor this and then for that, but SO ia,
we have only felt the pin pricks OF
privation, and if we do not answe,
hese calls fully and promptly we
may yet feel the sword thrust of men.

ic at present is a small one. Will not

Is enrolled on the Red Cross lists pay
MS dues for this, the second year OF
the great work in Sumter, and will
