WILSON p. ANS

Washington, May 3.-Determina-
ton OF President Wilson, indicated in
Paris press advices, that no Ameri-
can troops shall continue on German
soil for a longer period after the
signing Of the peace treaty than may
be necessary to embark them for
home, is borne out by present plans
of the War Department, which con
templates the return Of the entire
American EXpeditionary forces by
September. Because Of this, General
March, chief Of staff, is making every
effort to speed demobilization
An official announcement issued to-
day as to the accumulation of sur
plus clothing for the troops, stated
the estimates were based on 'troof
withdrawal, to be completed in Sep
TENDER"
The September date represents es.
Inmates by embarkatlon officials as
to the maximum possible speed in
withdrawing the entire force in Eu
rope. If anything, the officers be
iieve the movement will be accelerat-
ed rather than retarded. The SEIZED
ule has been exceeded recently anC
in increasing measure from week tC
week, with an indicated monthly move
ment of 100000 men, the best predic-
tions of General March and his aides,
bid fair, it was said, to be more than
realized.
General March returned today from
an inspection of rehabilitation cen
tiers in the Southeastern department
At each camp the chief Of staff
checked up the semi permanent de-
mobilization personnel at the camps
in an effort to reduce the number Of
men held in service for this work.
Officers recently returned from
France say the two bottle necks, -
through which practically the entire
movement must pass, the embarka-
ton camp at Brest, and the debarka-
ton stations at Hoboken, are oper-
ating at a remarkable speed.

Cotton Exports Finance Corporation,

who is a member of the executive COM
mite.
Mr. Snowden explained that the ex-
ecutive committee has tentatively
agreed that when 25,O00,00O Of the
stock issued has been paid in it will
be justified in putting the corpora
ton into operation. Texas, which is
allotted $7,500,00O is called on for the
largest subscription, it was explained,
not only because that State produces
more cotton than any ether State,
but because so per cent Of its output
is for export trade. Louisiana is CIV
en- the second largest allotment of So

that trolley car advertisements played

unteered quiet old gentleman, Ito
run your eye along line of ads, when
you have nothing in particular to
think about, and let your mind fol-
low the lines Of thought they suggest
And sometimes you get a mighty good
business idea out Of them
Suppose the advertising were sim
ilarly left out of the newspaper some
day. Wouldn't there be a hiatus in
the life Of the community that day?
Many people say they get tired of
seeing so many ads in the papers and
the cars and everywhere. But the
chances are that they would get a
good deal more tired if the ads were
not there. Certain it is that every
time anybody has undertaken to pub
lish an adless newspaper or magazine
he has failed dismally in circulation
The public wants advertising, and
insists on having it. And that is nat
ural and right; for honest, sane and
advertising means life and
not only to the business life
Of a community but to its mental and
spiritual life as we'll.

Farmers Short Courses

1ncloSed please find a little booklet
containing the announcement Of the
Farmers Short Course at Clemson Col
lege. The farmers Of Sumter county
are more prosperous than they have
been before. Great many are planning
to take a vacation and spend money
either going to a seaside resort, the
mountains or the springs. In view Of
the fact that the boil weevil is menac-
ing a large section of South Carolina,
including Sumter county, despite con-
is opportune for the farmers of Sum
ter county to make themselves ac-
quainted with feeding and producing
live stock economically, and other
field crops besides cotton. They
should also begin TO inform them
selves concerning the common dis
eases and insect pests of our field
crops. With the margin Of profit
that obtains under the present regime
of high prices, farmers can make
money and allow some loss on account
Of poor seed, plant diseases, etc. But
the time is coming and it is not long
distant when we shall have to face
reduction from a fifth to a half Of our
principal crop, cotton, on account Of
the boil weevil, in the face Of de-
clining prices of other field crops, and
we shall have to eliminate the leaks
to make ends meet.
The cost of board and lodging at
Clemson will be only a dollar a day,
less than half the cost at any of the
resorts. With an automobile, farmers
from this section can visit one of the
many mountains and places of inter
est within six to twenty miles of
Clemson, and can see ali that you
can see by going to North Carolina un-
less it be the numbers Of dressed up
people bent upon seeing how much
money they can spend.
Some Of the best lecturers in the
country will deliver addresses in the
evening. The Y. NJ. G.. A. moving pic
ture show will be given two evenings
each week and there is no excuse for
a farmer deciding between Clemson
