The Florence Daily Times prints a long editorial in which it quotes f A Florence merchiji^i^o^com^j^j j^^^^PBpflterchant says in part: "It ^^^^sonld be a matter of rery great sur, , prise to many people to know to what extent the custom had grown jnmong Florence people, especially among the women, of going 'out of Florence to buy their clothes, their household necessities and even their food." Whut this Florence merchant fthMBnays is true, not only of Florence runt or hundreds or other towns In Che country, large and small. The Merchant bas a right to complain when the people or his town go to -aome Qther town and buy the same 4goods for the same money. It shows a bad community spirit. But let us look at the other side or the picture and take the situation in Florence as no vexample. We glanced over the * name issue or the Daily Times in which the Florence merchant makes his complaint and found that out of the ten columns of advertising it carried lire columns were for foreign .merchants and tradesmen. In the 4ve columns of home advertising we did not find a single dry goods store advertisement, neither was there anything in The Times' advertising colamns to indicate that Florence had a drug store, a hardware store or a jgrooery store doing business within ^Jlts corporate limits. There were one or two insurance advertisements, - a Jewelry advertisement, two theadre advertisements, a real estate advertisement and a few other advertisements of little consequehce. -Now who is to blame, the merchant - .. -who places no value on printer's ink or 'he buying public? Goods do not ell themselves these days. It takes pnsh to get your wares before the public and it is morally certain the pnbilc iff not going to rush by the tore that tells the public what it has to sell and buy from the store that makes no special effort to attract customers. Florence is not the only town that suffers because its citizens buy their goods out of town. Glance over the columns of the average weekly newspaper and you will ad that tradesmen hundreds of miles away are using the columns of those newspapers to pull trade oway from the home merchant. That tells the story. ?. Russia's withdrawal from the war , does not come as a surprise. Neither will it have any appreciable effect on the fortunes of the aTfted governments. When Trotzky and Lenine, as unscrupulous a pair of rascals us-ever scuttled a ship or cut a tht-oat, took charge of affairs and flim-flammed the people into believing they were the real ones'to save-thc country, all hope of any further assistance from Russia vanished. The effect of her withdrawal from the struggle having ^ long since been discounted the order to demobilize her armies will not cause a ripple on the surface of things so far as the future plans of AMles are con' -ned. It is easy ^^A)nough to forecast the policy Trotzky Lenine will follow in rebuilding fortunes of the republic. The particularly is a worshipper of ^^^^^^Rdmlghty dollar and one of the in^^H^^Auents the Oermans held out to agreeing upon separate peace H^H^^^^nras the golden opportunity of Russia's vast resources Ipto ^money. This means that Gerdraw largely upon Russia for both the army population, the reI be En ear'y termination Trotzky has claimed, nAdfnrtnnmnnf *71 My is not an able man, Aawd man. He saw his A held out to the halfAished Russians the As the Oermans held but natural where country, no pa^^ ter of peace with ^^^Land clothing for f^^^rvlng millions ^H^Rearty response, ^^^^Afor Trotsky to his support. ^^^^^Antry's . right for a omm of pottaga, aad hmafter to the wmadla of hoaor' able mt all things Rudan will bo f 4npM and discredited, whilo to the name Trotsky there will attach stigma which centuries cannot . erase.' '| ? 1 GOVERNMENT MACHINERY FOR i ? FARMS I t Decreased consumption for food is - onething, increased production is anf other. The "don't waste" campaign > has met with faror in Dillon ?b<i ? ? " evident oar cltisens are paying much * attention to that feature of war I work; but the increased production i shortage of labor and the continued > shortage of help next year, is a more ? serious problem. I It is much easier to refrain from wastage in foodstuffs than to produce more food under present cirt cuinstances. i It has been pointed I Dillon county will think well of the project?that one way to Increase the production is by substituting mechanical for lost men power on the farms by adoption of the Canadian system of supplying government owned and operated machines for breaking ground for seeding. The call for men for the army will compell the government to resort to the Canadian plan to help the farmer plant and reap his increased harvest now demanded by the United States and the Allies. I IS THERE HOARDING OF FOOD IX MELON? Is there any hoarding of food in Dillon County? We hope not: yet j nobody can warrant a negative answer ia the correct one. Hoarding is one of the principal reasons for the shortage in certain foods. Housekeepers have in many instances "stocked up" with sugar, flour, salt, potatoes and so on, beyond their immediate and prospective needs. This practice constitutes a tremendous drain upon the supplies ?especially before the price-fixing system began?and works an injury upon those who did not have the means to indulge in this practice by forcing up the price of necessities. Stories have been told of women having a hundred pounds or so of a commodity on hand and using this as a reserve, purchasing their "immediate" needs from the stores. Hoarding is not confined to the towns and cities, either. We have heard of farmers who bought large quantities ot sugar and dour before the new food laws went into effect. They were "within the law" but in these strenuous times when every man is expected to do his duty it is not a question of what is legal but what is right. County Agents Meet Report of State Meeting of County Home Demonstration Agents at Win- j throp College. fhe annual state fleeting of Home Demonstration Agents held at Win- 1 throp College during the month of January closed Thursday, the thir- , ty-flrst. At this meeting besides regular courses in dietetics, bread making, canning, agriculture and i poultry demonstrations in pickling, briming and drying of vegetables were given by experts from the Extension Department. We also enjoyed 1 addresses of timely interest by several noted South Carolinians. The meeting was altogether instructive . and stimulating and the agents gained many helpful suggestions to be < carried out in the coming season, i Definite plans for carrying out the work in each county were forniu- 1 lated by the agents in conference. These plans will be published from ' time to time during the year. During February attention is to be cen- ( tered on gardening. Helps for the ( early spring garden sent out by the Extension Department will be published next week. i MAGGIE EVANS Co. Home Demonstration Agent. ' At the convention of the South Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held at Florence in December, it was 1 agreed that the cooperative work of the South Carolina Division for war relief should be the establishing and maintenance of a bed in the American Hospital just outside of Paris to tiA lrnr.TOn no ?'-J- ? ? ? ?? ?o mc iittuc iiaiiiyiun | bed. This is a Hed Cross Hospital'] under the supervision of the United! States Army, but It is not a base'1 hospital and receives no government support. Ita maintenance is therefore dependent upon subscription. Each division of the U. D. C. desires to contribute $600 for the maintenance of a bed which Includes < a nurse for one year, each bed to be credited to the state which established it. This is a cause which "arries its own appeal and the need for hos- 1 pltal equipment grows dally. The S. r C. division hopes to be the first to es- ; tabllsh a division bed, and as it will J bear the name of Wade Hampton it f is felt that it will arouse State pride, j\ A matter of interest in this connec-' F tion is that the Marquise de Courti- ] oil, dtofbtir of Pollgnac of Dm while in the lnvlta^^^^^^^^^^H member of the D.
