LACKED BACKING IN
CRISIS, AYERS SIMS
Unsupported in Most PeriIous
Period Of War-Convoy
Staff Inadequate.

The safety OF American troop con-
voys TO France was endangered by the
failure OF the Navy Department TO
provide a sufficient staff to handle
the convoy system. Admiral Sims
charged today before the Senate sub
committee investigating charges
against the Navy Department.
Admiral Sims also pointed out that
there was a difference OF opinion as
TO naval policy between the British
admiralty and the American naval
Officers, the British devoting their
greatest efforts to maintaining the
fleet while American Officers took
the view that the most important
function OF the navy was to operate
against the submarine menace.
In June, 1917. Admiral Sims said.
he asked for an officer to handle con-
voy problems, but after waiting for
some time he was forced TO order a
commander OF a destroyer at Queens
town TO that duty. As the depart
ments representative with the allies
abroad" Admiral Sims said he "was
not supported during the most critical
months OF the war. either by an ade-
quate personnel or by the adequate
forces which could have been sup.
Piled"
Referring TO the large number OF
reports which II was necessary to
send to the Navy Department, Ad-
mirsl Sims said. II am sure every Of
ftcer who had experience over there
will agree that our ignorance OF the
experiences OF the war. prior to our
entry into IL, was indeed appalling"

between the American and British
naval officers as TO policy Admiral

Any farmer or gardner can make a
bed next fall and cover it with a
window sash. AT some. depth in that
bed he can make very rich soil and
at about November 1st, plant it in
Wakefield cabbage. All dry days in
the winter when it is not very cold he
can open the bed and thus harden the
growing plants, which by February
at the latest will be large enough and
hardy enough to transplant in the
open. Why not do that instead of
sending the money away to South
Carolina for "frost proof" plants no
harder than the ones we grow and in
no other way any better-in fact, our
townsman, ]. A. Henry, one winter
grew plants said to have been better
than any shipped in. We are going
to try twill you join us? The
greatest business folly perpetrated in
the South is sending away our hard
earned money for things we can grow
ourselves. !.

Tobacco growers in the Black
Patch in Kentucky and probably a
part of Tennessee, with half the crop
unsold, have suffered from a slump
in prices which discourages them and
buyers hold out no hope for the near
future. Think Of that condition and
then inquire the prices of the product
as handed over the counter to. the
user. Some smoking tobaccos are
going at Is cents for w ounces and
for dime you can get less than a
square of so-called Natural Leaf"
chewing tobacco. In other words, the
tobacco user pays 10 to Is cents for
the variety for which the tobacco
farmer probably gets cents. But
still, man who is fool enough to use
tobacco does not deserve sympathy
financially or otherwise.

1t was given out last week that
Mayor Fielder would not talk about
lifting the ban on public gatherings
and the school in Lexington, which he
and the board had put on four weeks
before, until Friday, stating that il
the school were to open last Monday,
the fact could be announced in the
churches Sunday.
True to his word, the mayor acted
Saturday, restoring the privilege of
holding church services Sunday and
in connection authorizing the school
to reopen Monday.
However, Sunday was so bitterly
cold that it is to be judged that those
who attended the church services felt
real interest therein-but their
number we are not prepared, at first
hand, to state.

Perhaps a hundred persons in this
section are very, thankful to Con-
gresham Sims for an extra sack of
seed which has been distributed
among them. Very small packages
of seed have become quite an item of
cost and those sent out by the gov
eminent are conceded to be as good
as any. The seed companies sell
some seeds at 25c the ounce, which
when put into packages, at Sc to 7c
each, jump the price to SOC to $125
per ounce. When an American man.
ufacturer puts an article in a paper
container, he "sets. you afire" on the
price. The retailer deserves no CEN
sure for he sells the seeds at dictat-
ed price and on commission.
