Colder and colder grow the days.
I believe the chill Of these first win
ter moments is felt more keenly- than
the really winter months Of below
zero. Everybody hesitates to meet

chilly. Ny" Not cold-just chilly
Folks don't stop
long to chat on the streets. The wind
whistles more interesting invitations
elsewhere. I wonder II the present
weather, though, isn't after all more
invigorating than the soft, delightful
days of early spring and fall Some
folks say not-that It brings the
dread Of influenza, the unweIcome
pneumonia and other dlsIiked guests.
However that may be-the just be
fore winter days have come, the sad
dest of the year-f considered Just
as weather. But to we busy people,
weather is merely condition accom-

Just as there Is silver lining to every

THINK OF WHEAT IN
RELATION TO LIFE
Every BusheI Saved Now viii
Supply a Soldier With Bread
Until Next Harvest

Columbia.-One bushel of wheat
will care for the bread needs of one
man from now until the next harvest.
This means that every bushel Of
wheat that is saved in this country
by the substitution Of cornmesl and
other cereals will supply an American
or a British or a French or a Belgian
or an Italian soldier with bread until
the present crisis in the wheat situa,
ton has passed.
Wheat. must now be considered, moi
IN terms of dollars and cents, says the
Food Administration, but only in iti
relation to human life.
Before the next wheat crop is avail.
able there remains more than two
months in which America is required
to feed her w people and to con-
tinue exports Of Hour to the fighting
front and to feed the people Of the
allied countries.
The Food Administration asks ev-
cry person in South Carolina who can
do so to abstain from the use Of wheat
flour In any form until the next har
vest.
