OUR APPLES In
FRONT TRENCHES
Y. nj. c. A. Worker Says He Car
ried Fruit to Boys Out at
Edge of No-Man's Land

Last week we published a letter
which brought the news that Kenne-
wick apples had reached France and
were being distributed to the soldiers
behind the lines. Now comes word
that they have gone Sill farther and
have reached the boys in the front line
trenches.
Irving r. Davis, Of Spokane, who is
engaged in Y. M. c. A. work with the
American forces in France, in a letter
to his brother says:
"Every night at IL / sent out hot
chocolate to all the boys at work in
the trenches and one night was per-
mitted to go thru the advance posi-
tions and distribute some Of the Yaki-
ma, Kennewick and Wenatchee ap-
plies, purchased with the fund TO which
/ subscribed when I was in Spokane
last December. You can imagine how
much they were appreciated by lads
who had not had a decent apple for
months. For the most part the fruit
was in good condition, tho occasionally
would strike a box Of culls. All
praise to the good folks who originated
the scheme! Tho their names are un-
known, they have been blessed by the
boys at the front"

possible for you if you are philos-

there, smoke a meditatiye pine.

get another rise from him after
lunch is a triumph Of diplomacy;
to land him is nothing short of
statesmanship-"-Bliss Perry.

MORE BRIDGE TROUBLE

For several hours today fears were
entertained that the Richland bridge
across the Yakima might again be put
out of commission. This morning the
approach to the temporary north span
began to wash out, but by quick work
the break was repaired before serious
damage was done.

NOtice-Teachers' Examination

The next teachers examination will
be held at Pickens court house, Friday,
May 9. 1918.
l would like to urge that all the
teachers in the county look after their
certificates and see that they do not
expire. If they will expire soon it
might be well for you to prepare to
stand the examination in May.
On account Of there being such a
shortage Of labor, l would like to urge
that those who are thinking Of teach
ing sometime in the future to be sure
and stand this examination. 1t. might
become a patriotic duty to help out in
the school work.

Interesting Letter

Dear Editor:--I shall appreciate a
small space in your valued Sentinel in
which | wish to make an earnest appeal
to u patriotic people who may read
these statements.
| have noticed some startling figures
compiled by the government. 1t is es-
timated there are LAO, 800 acres Of the
best lands we have used to produce to-
bacco. OF course this lies principally
in North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky. At the lowest figures
this area should produce enough corn to
make 20, 600 900 bushels Of meal or g.
500, barrels of -four. We are asked to
save 81. 900, 600 bushels of wheat be-
tween now and harvest time. This we
must do. 1t is u patriotic duty to do
SO and no loyal American can grumble
at doing his very utmost in conserving
food-stuffs for our heroic soldiers and
sailors at the battle front. | would like
to sec the little fertile spots Of our own
county that have been used to grow to-
bacco converted into ''ronsting-ear
patches" just to help gain the victory
in this war.
There is no doubt many Of our boys
appreciate the cigarettes gen them but
the time will come when a biscuit will
be more appreciated than a duck"
| wonder, too, how many War Stamps
and Liberty Bonds could be bought
with the money America spends for
tobacco products. AS tobacco is not a
necessary instrument in winning the
war, let's all discourage its production
and use till our army marches back
victorious. Mothers are sacrificing
sons, wives are giving up husbands,
boys are facing death clinging to duty
that we may still peacefully live in the
land of the free and the home Of the
brave. Surely we, a freedom-loving
habitual pleasure and invest the saw
ings in War Stamps and substitute for
non-essential tobacco an essential food
product though we sustain a small fnan-
cial loss.
Here's to the soldier
Fighting in France;
He'll do his duty
If he has a chance.
Give him your love;
A bond will be nicer.
Satisfy his appetite
He'll satisfy the Kaiser.

SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS ARE
HELPING FEED THE WORLD
splendid Work Of Corn and Pig Club
Boys Forms Big Contribution
to Food Supply.

~ WIN tbukiS
to Food Supply.
Columbia.-The report of l.. l.. Ba.
ker, Supervising Agent Of Boys Club
Work in South Carolina. RECENTLY
made to DR.. w. w. Long, Director of
extension Work In this State, a COW
OF which has been received by the
ROOD Administration, illustrates in a
most forcible INT convincing manner
how farmer boys can, on their own
responsibility, aid materially in the
production and conservation of food
at this critical time in the worlds
history when the cy::.ing demand Of a
hungry, fighting void is for more
and more food. Al lie same time, the
boys are earning = Dney with which
to buy Liberty Bon's, thus helping in
n dou~ble-barrcled Ii nner to help win
the war.
Members Of the Corn Club in South
carolina produced last year 2G,S13.21
ushel Of corn at an average cost of
forty cents a bushel. the average Weld
being ffty-three bushels to the acre.
Figuring corn at $500 per bushel,
which Is conservative, tho total net
profit was $%42,6S9.47. The total net
profit resulting from the Boys Pig
I'll in the State was $13, 99S. OF. The
total net profits OF South Carolina
farmer boys In these two projects for
the year was $%56.687.4S.
There is ar effort being made to
more than double the membership Of
the Corn and Pig Clubs during pres
ent year. Last year there we're 1856
boys enrolled in Corn Club Work, Of
whom, however, only SOL reported;
and 1880 boys enrolled in Pig Clubs,
Of whom only 856 reported.
To assure the success OF the Corn
and Pig Club work in South Carolina,
the cooperation, encouragement and
support Of the philosophical citizens
is necessary. For instance, last year
a number of bankers in different parts
Of the' State helped by offering prizes,
and In this way thousands Of dollars
worth Of pure bred pigs were brought
into tho State, very materially adding
to the breeding stock Of hogs. One
Of the greatest difficulties has been
encountered in supplying the boys
with pigs. This splendid work Of the
farmer boys Of South Carolina has
formed a big contribution to the food
supply Of the country, and 1t is a
work which offers opportunity for
many public-spirited people to lend
their aid. There will be more Pig
Club boys this year IL the pigs to sup
ply them are offered-or the money
with which to buy pigs-and T.. L..
Baker, Supervising Agent Of Boys
Club Work. Bishopville, 8. c.. who is
In charge Of the work In this State.
will be glad to hear from any one who
will aid the farmer boys in their effort
in greater production OF food. Offers

servation Of the Food Administration

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
S the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 100, 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for X
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 9O,0O0,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 100, 1000, 900 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 1000, 900
bushels Of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1876, 900, 900 to
the left over.
1t is not problem that the
wheat does not exist IN the
world it is entirely Il problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid.
ing our stock with the Allies.

Crash Ties Up Subway
Two Trains on Lenox Avenue
Branch Collide; None Hurt

The Lenox Avenue branch of the
subway was tied up for more than
three hours last night by the collision
of two trains at 142d Street. Both
trains were derailed, blocking the
tracks north and south. At Ninety
sixth Str.ct the congestion of persons
waiting for Lenox Avenue trains be-
came so great that reserves from the
West 1OCth Street station were or
dered out.
The .ccident occurred at 142d Street,
where the Bronx trains leave the LenoX
line. three-car. southbound Lenox
local train. through a mistake in sig
rails. sidewiped train of five empties
from The Bronx. The shock derailed
al cars on both trains.
There were only four passengers on
the local. and these walked back to the
149th Street station. No one was hurt.
At o'clock this morning the line was
still blocked, and A. L. Merritt, super
intendent of the subway, and a large
force of men were working to clear it.
Passengers for Lenox Avenue trains
were given "block tickets" good on sur

Why Germany Believes
That America Is Bluffiino

had reported US as making not single
preparation, with the world on fire all
around us.
They had noted our fast and loose
course in Mexico.
They didn't care-whcn we finally
came in.
They believed we were too late to
Eelp.
They thought the submarine would
settle the war by starving England, and
that France, without steel and ammuni-
ton in sufficient quantity, would be
obliged to succumb.
The public attitude of official Ger
many. is one of contempt for Americas
influence in the decision of the war:
her leaders are persistent in making
their people believe we do not count.
In his recent summing up of the mill
tary and political situation before the
Reichstag Chancellor Hertling did not
even mention America by name.
But the German Chancellor and his
Kaiser fully recognize the end to their
hope of escaping military defeat when
the officially despised America is able
to make her full might felt on the
West front.
And that is the key to the present
situation.

The realization that the ten Mon
days set aside by the Fue! Admins
traitor were not to be modelled upon
the Puritan Sabbath was one of the
few bits Of encouragement that New
Workers. in general received yesterday.
Other things were more depressing.
Coal, after two days of the five days of
saving, was no more plentiful in the
city than it had been before the con-
servation drive.
In the last forty-eight hours there
has been a saving of fuel. State Fuel
Administrator Wiggin said last night
that coal consumption by public service
corporations had been cut down 10 per
cent.
This saving has not helped to make
New York homes the warmec They
don't burn that kind Of coal.
Yesterday saw longer coal lines at
yards throughout the city. Coal deal
crs in all boroughs reported that their
supplies were almost gone. Yet over
in New Jersey POI 900 tons of anthra-
cite and bituminous coal waited at
tidewater for transportation to the
city
More coal is coming into the Jersey
yards each day, but it is relayed to the
people of New York only in driblets.
Yesterday, according to County Fuel
Administrator Schley. $4,000 tons
crossed the Hudson. The city's normal
consumption is 10000 day
The shipping situation slightly i'm
proved yesterday. Thirteen vessels
were coaled. One hundred and ten are
