RaI Paris Brown Colt Captures Fea-
  turc Event at Saratoga, Running in Sensational Style.

Saratoga, Aug. 2O.-Blazes, the brown son of Wrack and Blazing Star, belonging to Ral Parr, was put to real test yesterday and he came out of it with flying colors. He wen the Grab Bag Handicap in sensation al style and left far behind him such good juveniles as Walter M Jeffords' Kinnoul and w. R. Goes Cleopatrsa and Cinderella. It was the third con secutive victory for Blazes during the meeting and he accomplished his task yesterday in the same easy fashion as in his two previous races. At the end of the six furlong route he was eased up two lengths ahead of Cleo@ patra, which beat Kinnoul four lengths for place honors.
 So impressive was his race that Will liam Garth, the veteran trainer who developed him. declared that he was now ready to take the scalp of the great Man O War.
 Blazes is a little colt but he is a sturdy. muscular youngster, posses sing great speed and no end of cour- age and stamina Early this spring. he was stricken with the flu and a skin disease which would have caused the average thoroughbred to refuse to do anything but Toll around his stall Not so with Blazes De- spite his illness he always wanted to be on the go and MT. Garth let him have his way to a certain extent He gave him a few breezes and as" the veteran trainer said yesterday he showed great speed while he was ill.

Patriotic Farmers.

The farmers Of the United States
apparently have accomplished the
impossible by continuing to plant
larger areas and to harvest larger
crops in the aggregate with each
year Of the war in spite Of the diff
culties Of securing farm labor, SUP

sary articles.
The planting and cultivating Of
100000 acres more in 1917 than
in 1914 by the farmers Of this coun
try is comparable with anything that
has been accomplished bv any other

crops on an enlarged scale, at great

Diversified Farming Best.

Clemson College, Jan. 30.-In q
report just published, the Depart.
ment OF Agriculture has the follow
ing TO say about diversified farming:
MANY farms and plantations are
still devoted entirely to cotton and
fail to produce sufficient food stuff
for the famllies or feed for the live
stock, Snch sys s.em Is hazardous,
since success or failure is dependent
upon a single crop. Each communi-
ty and each section Of the South
should produce, as far as possible,
its own food and feed for the sake
OF economic production and to save
transportation cost and Intervening
profits, IN other words, the food
and the feed of the South should be
produced on the farms of the
South"
In this connection it is interest
ing to note the words Of David r.
Coker in his report as a member Of
the agricultural commission sent to
Europe last fall to study agriculture
al conditions.
1T is general impression in
France and England that the world 8
food supply is not going to be plenti-
ful FOR several years, the time de-
pending npon how long the Central
Empires, and Russia and Roumania
take part in returning to normal
production. think this opinion is
well grounded and believe the pro-
daction or staple food stuffs in this
country ,swll, be safe business FOR
at leastftwo years"

ONE POINT IS AGREED UPON.
Full Reparation Will be Demanded
for Wanton Destruction.
THE Perfect Laxatlve

London, Jan. 3O.-The peace con-
ference has settled one important
point with regard to the indemnity
question, the Paris correspondent Of
the Evening Standard says he has
reasons for reporting. The confer
ence, he declared, has eliminated any
intention Of calling upon Germany
and her associates to pay the allied
countries the cost Of the war, or to
impose heavy indemnites upon enc
my countries.
But the minds of the confer
ence," the correspondent adds, ARE
fixed that there shall be full and
ample reparation for unjustifia bic
damages done. A very sharp dis
tinction is being drawn between
damage which resulted from legiti-
mate warfare and damage which was
wanton."
The correspondent says Serbia and
Belgium have formulated claims for
reparation in detail. Serbia's bill Is
tho largest, but rs Belgiu;n suffered
first shc will receive first conai,iGra"
iiuu. H,i. IL.
Che idea tOat Germnny should rc-
turn the indemnity she took from
France in 1871 has been abandoned,
the Evening Standards correspon-
dent continues. The British claims,
he adds, are for damage done in air
raids and through the sinking OF
merchant ships. In the case Of
ships, reparation to Great Britain
will be in kind.

Woli Known Civic Leader Shows How

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-"Fe peo-

value Of the vegetables produced last

Whenever there is lack Of food or
money to buy food, no matter wheth-
er 1t be due to worldwide food scare
ity, boil weevil damage or other cau8o,
the first word Uncle Sam passes out
to the sufferer is to make a good big
home garden. Why? Because the
right kind Of home garden is the
quickest, cheapest and best source of

"The great trouble here In the South
is that our people don't take the home
