Fall Buying Gets Setback
Due to the Extreme Heat

KANSAS CITY. September Tx
treme heat, which has prevailed in
this section. has placed a check on fall
buying. which normally makes it's ap-
pearance early in September.
Summer clothes still predominant,

ties seem the one thing in this sec

by the rail strike and its attendant un-
certainties. The month of August

Milling demand for wheat is SPAS
modic. The trade is not accommodating
stock. as is normal at this time of year
but is buying from hand to mouth to

is attributed to the downward trend
in grain prices. Weakness likewise

BY PAUL c. HEDRICK.
Special Correspondent Of The Star

SEATTLE, September 7.-Shortaee
Of tonnage Of trans-Pacific steam
ships from Seattle and other Puget
sound ports. which has been felt for
a long time, was materially reduced
today by the assignment by the
United States Shipping Board Of the
freiRhter Eldridge. with capacity of
10000 deadweight tons. to big oper-
ating company with headquarters
here and branches in other coast
ports. This action is expected to re-
lieve shipping congestion in this To-
cality. For the last three months
carriers in the trans-Pacific trade
have been billed to capacity. All in
dicatiOns point to a broader basis and
greater tonnage for the trade with
the far east the remainder Of the
year.
Indication of the activity of the
smaller industrial plants in this sec
ton was seen today in the statement
by the largest corporation suppling
hydro-electric power that It was sell
ing such plants 10000 kilowatt hours
more service than a year ago.

LET'S START SOMETHING NOW.
Capt. Ballengcr TllSml1s 1t Is Time to
Return to ,Pre-War SalalHies.
Editor Keowee Courier:

Editor Keowee Courier:
please allow me space in your pa
per for few ideas.
Almost every day see some good
articles on the tax situation, and all
the writer's agree that something
has to be done to relieve the heavy
burden which Is on us, burt no one
has said what the something is. Now
want to add my testimony THAT we
ought to have some relief, and state
something that ought to help.
In my business life, when l find
that my expenses are exceeding my
income, and know that must keep
going, either increase my income
or decrease my expenses, l think
that all have failed to keep up our
incomes, yet we have tried every
thing that has been suggested. ';i.
70 Ni irat ,s we w hrs t0l d that a. cot ton
grader In every community would
help; then the export corporator r.
we paid out a considerable sum of
money on that; then the War FL
ance corporator-we have that
and we still see that cotton Is going
down and all other farm produce
going on down. We see bankrupt
notices every day-farmers, mer-
chants and banks failing to stand
he strain. We must see If we can
find some way Of reducing our ex-
penses.
The first thing that l would sug-
gest IS that we cut salaries and
wages to pre-war figures. think
that with the help Of he efficient
demonstrators which we have had in
this county now tor several years,
that we farmers and on" wives and
our daughters should have learned
how to manage our affairs, and
i've could give them a vacation. If
we would all Quit buying whdskey,
I'VE could relieve the county police
we might hint to the highway de-
partment that they couad afford q
cut from top to bottom. Nobody OBJ
jected when salaries and wages wen
up with the cotton prices, and NOW
when they are asked to reduce they
should not squeal.
AS my old friend, Jake Cook,
says, "The war is over now, and we
should ALL take our losses and go
, work to try to reconstruct our
county, our State and our nation.
Like winning the war, 1t will take
all Of Us, and the sooner we start
the better. We are standing still or
we are going backwards. | realize
that | might have burst a bomb shell
In the camps, but we are burst now
II we would own up to it,"
If there is any other citizens in
the county who think as I do, let
them say so-and more-and we
might start something that would
melp a little. Respectfully,
j. j.. Ballenger.

APPEALING FOR JEWISH RELIES
Mlight Of Jowish Sufferers in Europe
Is Pitiable I'm Extreme.

charleston, Feb. 14.-The advis-
lory board of the South Carolina
Jewish Relief Committee, consisting
principally of the jewish rabbis of
THE State, has addressed letter to
all clergymen Of The State asking
Them to appeal to their congrega-
Eions to contribute toward the fund
being raised in the State for relief
of the Jewish WAR sufferers In Eu-
rope. The letter follows:
Never In the history OF suffering
humanity has such heart-rending
sry reached our ears as that Of the
unfortunate Jewish victims. The
hnspeakable horrors and untold
crimes perpetrated against them in
Russia, Poland, Hungary and other
European lands make ones hair
btand on end. More than a million
men, women and children have been
done to death in the Ukraine alone,
ad Of those who still survive we may
say with reliable eyewitness that
VI the ten plaques OF Egypt we're
multiplied ten-fold they would not
begin to measure tho misfortunes
that have overwhelmed them.
ITO save alive those who have not
vet perlshed from hunger, exposure
and disease, and to take care Of the
hundreds OF thousands of the help
less and homeless orphans, it Is nec-
sssary to raise minimum OF $14,-
