1t doesn't look like ii is necessary

have plenty Of fruit why we will just
save as much Of IL as we can. Under
conditions as they exist now. II Is VI
to every family in the country to con-
serve as much food as possible. Even
though we may have enough and to
spare. we must guard against the pos
sibility of having hungry people
around us. There is nothing that we
could have that would be worse than
that"
Mr.. Glasscock cranked up his cal
along about 10 o'clock and we made
a trip over to Mr.. T. VI. Aliens. and
spent a pleasant half hour or 80 there:
but did not accept Mr.. Aliens hospit-

Young things could not be really con-

That is not their nature. and indeed
IL should not be. But still. the girls
are impatient about the quarantine
which keeps them Off the trains and
prevents them from going home. The
does not restrict the girls
10 the college or college grounds. They
are virtually as free TO go over into
Rock Hill as they have ever been, and
parents, brothers. sisters or other near
relatives may visit them at the COL

There was more sweet potatoes
raised in York county last year than
ever before. probably. or at least so
far as there is any record. and there
has probably never been a greater
scarcity at this season than al this

tatocs was stored in the potato houS.

do with this potato house told Her

That is what everybody else who tried
10 save their potatoes through ordi-
nary methods did. | have been told
that the percentage Of loss in IN"
Rock Hill potato house was greater
than in the case OF most other potato
houses because of certain fault in

BIG TALK FROM GERMANY
Hinde nburg and ludendorff Tell Peo-
ole They Are in Control.

An official dispatch received in
WASHINGTON from France says:
"Reforc making their last trip to
Berlin. lIindenburg and Ludendort
made certain statements to the news
PAPER correspondents attached TO
great headquarters.
This interview probably hats dou-
BILE purpose. that of encouraging pub
Er opinion and of bringing pressure
10 bear upon the adversary by the
usual German hluff. What is out
standing in the declarations of the
couple of generals swollen with pride
and childish vanity il that the Ger
man government is more than ever
before in the hands OF the military
caste. brutal. narrow, and insolent.
"DiScuSslng the events in the cast,
IlinIvuhurc declared: The chain
whirh was 10 bind us Is from hence
forth broken. We can now employ
all our forces in the west. 1t IS al
Solutrly necessary for us to procure
security on our frontiers so that there
shall not be repeated the lamentable
events which marked the beginning
nf the autumn III 1914
1t is To bc noted that German opin-
ion does not realize the exact extent
uf the success obtained in the east
al
towards the west. Hindenhurg said
regarding this: Things are always
the same. people never appreciate at
their just value the results already
obtained. Then they proceeded to
Spr.tk OF events that are imminent in
The west.
With the insolence of German
trooper. the commander of the Ger
man armies. who, since the battle OF
the Marine has met with defeat in
every encounter with the French, said
France has dug her own grave. She
is entirely under the rule OF England.
Ii the French treated less harshly our
poor war prisoners one would have
moro pity for the unhappy fate OF
their country
"I.udcndorfr added: We can now
pass t. the offensive in the west IL
this offensive is made ii will be very
severe. 1t must he taken into account
that the enemy has at its disposal
strong reserve of many divisions and
that IL possesses fine network OF
railways for transporting reserves ut
Il point where they are considered
necessary. Rut one must not over
look the moral factor. We are full of
confidence and We remain persuaded
that the fight in which We are to en-
cage will end happily for us
"I.udendorff added that il was OF
incstimahl value to Germany to pos
scss such a general as Hindenburg.
The marshal interrupted him and OBJ
served What is essential is the good
morale of the German soldiers. II Is
to them that We owe our victory. /
am convinced that this morale Is
found throughout all Germany"
