entirely from children, but dishes well
liked but difficult of digestion may be
served at meal which also provides
for the children, without an entirely
different menu. Concentrated foods
should be served with something
which will serve to dilute them, hence
the custom of serving dry crackers
with cheese or combined with a white
sauce on toast, mixed with lice,
macaroni, hominy, bread and milk In
various dishes.
Butter, another concentrated food,
Is used on bread and potatoes. Small
portions Of food of various kinds can
be digested where large ones would
cause trouble.
The most important thing for the
housewife to see to each day is that
her family has well balanced meals
or if a light meal one time, make 1t
up in the next so that the daily aver
age is well kept.
The housewife who plans her meals
week or a month ahead has the op-
portunity to give her family the best
of balanced meals.
A good rule to remember in serving
food is never to give the same dish
or flavor twice in the same meal If 1t
is of pronounced flavor even If served
in entirely different form, for no one
enjoys a tomato salad following to-
mato soup and tomato catsup and
tomato conserve on the same table
Each food should be cooked to de-
velop its own particular flavor and
not be served 80 smothered In season
ing (however good) that destroys Its
peculiar charm.
Condiments aid digestion, add
flavor and enhance the pleasure OF
many dishes; however they should be
used sparingly and never given to
children.
Serving meals in coSlrses helps to
enhance the artistic effect, and is Of
ten easier than getting the meal all
on at once. The last course should
be like the last word-one that leaves
a sweet and pleasant taste In the
mouth and a desire to have more.
The woman who studies food com
binations and proper serving Of them
will enjoy a trip TO some tea room OF
hotel to see some new garnishment OF
new dish which it will be her pleas
ure to repeat for her family.

CONGRESS LEAVES
RAILROADS IN
VERY Bad SHAPE
Appropriation Failed to Pass in That
Body
MAY BARROW PRIVATELY
Filibuster in Congr sscLeft the Rail-
way Administration in a
Hole.

Washington, March 4.-Adjourn
ment Of Congress without appropriate
ing $750,000,000 for railways left the
railroad administration with practical
~ empty Golfers, about 1881 900 900
back debts and no funds with which
to finance the extensive program of
improvements planned for this year
as measure to take up slack in the
materials and labor market
Immediate REIMBURSEMENT of the
roads to private management loomed
as a possibility, but officials said this
would be done only if it finally ap-
peared not feasible for the railroads
to borrow privately the millions need
ed or to have the war finance corpora
tion extend large loans to the compa-
nies.
Director General Hines, after con-
ferences tonight with Secretary Glass
and Eugene Mayer, Jr., managing di-
rector Of the war finance corporation
made this statement:
"The rairoad situation is so compli-
Gated by this recent development, and
there are so many possibilities, that
I cannot say at this time what may be
done with the railroads. 1t will take
a good deal of consideration before a
conclusion is reached"
Can Borrow Privately.
Several treasury officials expressed
belief that the railroads could obtain
loans privately to tide them over the
next few months, although perhaps at
high interest rates. In this connection
conference Of leading bankers with
treasury and railroad administration
officials was proposed.
The war finance corporation, it was
announced today already has lent
ST. ,505,000 to railroads. 1t has au-
thorization to advance several hun
dred million dollars additional. Of
ficially questioned, however, whether
| the terms Of the act could be inter-
preted literally enough to permit this
Wholesale financing.
May Affect Victory Loan.
The treasury Is anxious to avoid
throwing railroad securities on the
market before the victory liberty loan
campaign, and for this reason will try
| to arrange a means of supplying
credit through the war finance corpo-
ration, if this is possible,
| Loans already made by the war
finance corporation to railroads, as
announced today, are as follows:
Baltimore and Ohio, $5,54O,OOO
Southern. $6,652,ooo; Rock Island,
$10,430,000; Illinois Central, $12,00O,-
600; Chesapeake and Ohio, $780,

CLARENDON FARMERS
WILL HOLD COTTON

The South Carolina Cotton Associa-
tion for Clarendon County met in the
Court House last Friday for the pur-
pose of discussing the cotton situa-
ton and taking reduction pledges.
There were about 400 IN attendance,
and a goodly number of these were:
colored farmers. The meeting was
called to order by Chairman w. c..
Davis, Rev. L: B. McCord opening the
meeting with prayer. Mr.. Fred
Lesesne was appointed secretary,
after which the chairman, the com
mittees, and stated the object Of
the association. He called on mem
bers to heartily support the plans and
remedies proposed by the State asso-
citation. He further stated that every
farmer should be given an opportun-
ity to either sign or decline to sign
the pledge, and names of each should
be regarded and treated as secondary
to the public good, and patriotic citi-
Zens should make sacrifices to bring
about the success Of the movement.
He said, that he had information, that
spinners and spectators are now pro-
curing statistics as to the acreage in
1918 and 1919 to be used to defeat
the object of the movement
The meeting was addressed by Mr..
r. G. Thomas, who attended the meet
ing in Columbia few days ago. He
advocated material reduction of acre
age and predicted Improvement in
prices by next July. He also cited de-
creased yields of four year period
of war as compared with yield Of pre-
deciding four years, and advocates a
decreased acreage for 1919. Further,
he says, big crops bring low prices
and small crops bring high prices,
and exporters are now Offering prem
lums of 235 points for cotton. Expert
farm laborers necessarily have as
much intelligence as expert boiler
makers and are entitled to as COOL
wages. ,...
Mr.: c. A. McFaddin addressed. the
meeting and presented and advoca ate,l
the Clemson College program. He
| also advocated organization to meet
| the coming invasion of the boil weevil
Mr.. e. D. Hodge was the next speaker
| to address The meeting, and in his
| remarks he strongly advocated the
signing of the pledge. In conclusion
resolution was adopted endorsing
the action of the meeting in Columbia
on February Id. The following is the
resolutions:
| Whereas, a serious situation con-
fronts the cotton growers of the
South by reason Of efforts on the
part of spinners and spectators tc
depress the price of cotton which eff
forts have been successful to an ex-
tent which threaten ruin to the
Southern farmers and we believe the
situation can be remcdied by prompt
organization and prompt action.
We, the Clarendon County Cottor
Association, hereby place ourselves
on record as heartily endorsing the
movement started by the State asso
citation which met in Columbia Feb

FUTURES RIDER IS SIGNED
Became Effective Last Night at
Midnight.

Washington, March 4.-The cotton
futures rider to the guarantee wheat
price bill, which was signed today by
President Wilson, becomes effective
tonight at midnight. Under it only
thirteen grades of cotton-from low
middling up--can be delivered on fu-
ture contracts and all cotton so de-
livered must be classified by govern
ment graders.
Authority to enforce the new law is
vested in the Department of Agricul-
ture's bureau of markets, which an
nounced tonight that the Att would
deny the right of delivery hereafter
of eight grades Of cotton hitherto de-
liverable on future contracts. Color
ed cottons, which are equivalent to
the low middling grade, may be de-
livered, it was explained.
Since the low grades of cotton that
is below middling may not be deliv-
cred hereafter on future contracts, it
was said that readjustment of many
orders now outstanding would be nee
esSary. /,

TRAGEDY IN LEE COUNTY
w. ID. Watson, Jr., Shot by His
Father-in-Law.

Bishopville, March 4-Mr. f. G.
Smith, well known citizen of the
Stokes Bridge section of this county,
shot and instantly killed his son-in-
law, Mr.. w. ID. Watson, Jr., last night
at 8 o'colck.
The killing took place at Mr..

the afternoon drinking, and began to
abuse his wife. She grabbed up her
infant baby and ran out of the house
and he threw lamp at her. When
her father, Mr.. f. Smith, interfered

for Smith. Smith shot him with
shotgun, the load taking effect just
above the heart. Death resulted in
stantly.

CHINA AND JAPAN
HAVE NOT AGREED
Premier Hara's Statement Denied by
Chinese Officials That Amy Under.
standing Had Been Reached.

Peking, Feb. 28.-(By the Associat-
ed Press) ).-Chinesc officials today en-
phatically denied any understanding
had been reached between China and
Japan, as stated by Premier Hara in
the Japanese Diet. (The nature of the
understanding to which Premier Hara
IS credited with alluding IS not known
as no report of any statement by him
to this effect has reached the United
States.)
No arrangement was completed bv
Lu Cheng Hsiang, the Chinese minis
ter OF foreign affairs; Viscount Chin
ia, Chinese ambassador to England,
or anyone else, the officials declare.
Moreover, it is stated that Lu Chang
Hsiang, having had his suspicious
aroused while in Japan, feigned i'll
ness to avoid visiting Toxic. but was
finally compelled to visit the Jana
nese capital. His visit there, how.
ever, lasted only two hours, within
which time it would have been i'm
possible for him to conduct ncgotia-
tions and reach an agreement, it is
argued.
The allegation that Japan failed to
publish agreements in compliance
with the wishes of China also is de-
MED. China, it is declared by the Of
ficials, stands ready to make public all
documents. all of them naturally be-
ing more to her advantage than sec
