reached America from a relief
worker in Uromia, Persia, telling
of the horrible destitution in that
city and the surrounding .country,
and appealing for more aid
to be sent. No part of Western

The Farmer It.
You are it today! You should
worry! new xorKers can boast
the biggest town on the continent.
but when King Winter decrees
it, New Yorkers are helpless.
The folks in Chicago have
a big town all right, but look at
them a short while back. Their
cattle and hogs were freezing
to death in cars frozen to the
rails. Their milk froze in cans
huddled .in cars stuck fast in ice
drifts. Their fuel far away somewhere
under a blanket with
half-frozen men striving to loosen
up the icy jam.
But Mr. Farmer has his woodpile
and a big fire. His cook
stove was doing .business as usual.
His cattle and hogs were
not frozen to death and the milk
supply came every morning and
night. He doesn't pay 75 cents
a dozen for eggs or 40 cents a
pound for pork. No, he gets the
75 cents and the 40 cents if he
h;.s been wise and foresighted
for the past year or two. He
can sit by the bright blazing fire
these nights and let the wind
howl. He has no waterpipes to
freeze up. He doesn't have to
see the mayor about permits. He
doesn't have to worry about anything
worse than what the price
of next season's cotton crop will
be, and that's a long time off.
But the city man?well, he is
catching the long end of the pole
these times, and the bigger the
ci'y the worse is the situation.
Possibly the rich man can make
his money pull him through
without serious discomforts, but
for just plain folks, without any
extra money to throw in, and for
poor people, the city has been no
place for such this winter. It is
the farmer who is independe t
and safe these.
Pigs for Breeding Purposes.
Already more than three score
pigs, 72 in fact, have been
ordered by various business
houses in the county lor the boys

he!d on Tuesday afternoon of
last week in the work room of
the Red Gross society and the
members, most of whom are also
members of the Red Cross, devoted
almost the entire afternoon
to the work which the'
latter society now has in hand,
and accomplished much for the
comfort of the country's soldiers
and sailors.
^^?During the business session
regent. Miss Susie White,
elected a delegate to the

the home of Bob Barns, on the
road between Yorkville and
Sharon last August, have instituted
proceedings against the
county for damages.
A Yorkville officer with the
American forces in France has
gotten by the censors with information
as to where he is
located by telling his folks that
he Js stationed between the
residences of Mr. W. W. Jenkins
and Mrs. J. L. Williams. The
| name of the residence between
I is the name of the citv in which
j the officer is located.
Three little white boys, two of
| them aged 12 years, and one
aged 9 were before Magistrate
Comer this week on the charge
of housebreaking $nd larceny.
They stole cigarettes, chewing
gum and other articles, and
were bound over to court.
For the Farmer*! Relief.
The national food a^minislra I
lion has given authority for a
modification of the pound-forpound
law in order to give relief
to the farmer in South Carolina
who has his own corn ground
locally. Much dissatisfaction
has been caused among farmers,
who felt that it was unreasonable
to ask them to buy Northern or
Wpqfprn mool uiUon 4V.u. J
.. ~w.w..? ivmi ?t iivn viic.y III U
their own home ground mea<
they could use. There was no
protest concerning reduction of
the consumption of flour, but
simply that the farmer did not
wish to buy meal from his store
when he had better meal or grits
at home.
Under the new rule the farmer
can have his corn ground by a
miller, who will give him a certificate.
This certificate must
be filed with the grocer by the
farmer, whereupon he can buy
an equal amount of flour, not ir.
excess of half a barrel.

HELPS MY FOR BREAD
There has been much misunderstanding
about the bread program In
England. It la true that the Englishman
buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but It Is poorer
: bread, and the British government Is
paying $*200,000,000 a year toward thi
coat of It.
All the grain grown In Urent Britain
Is taken over by the governmen
at an arbitrary price and the Imported
wheat purchased on the markets ai
the prevailing market price. This Is*
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the ndu! !
tent ted war bread loaf of four pound*
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound Inn'
at 0 cents and the one pound loaf at o
cents.
In France, under conditions tnm,
what similar, but ?Uh a lancer extraction.
the four pound loaf sells for
1? rents.
MAKING MEATLESS
OAY8 PERMANENT.
In tlie meatless menu there Is a fertile
field for developing new and nourishing
dishes, according to E. H. Nlles,
writing in the Hotel Uazette, who believes
that the present shortage of
meat and fnts will not end with the
coming of peace, but insy grow more
.acute and continue for Ave or six
years, tints making It worth while to
develop mentis of grain, vegetables
anil fish on a more or less permanent i
basis. Meat can be replaced by cpreals
and other protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as a fta- j
vorlng for other fi>od In making up
meatless menus this author Anils our i

| WAR TALKSl
By UNCLE DAN H
HHwr War Mahoii Hm Changed
BwamhiiilM 11^14
"Hrilo, Unci* Dan, Jlmmle and I
taw been watting tar jwu"
"Sorry It I bar* kept yon long," said
Uncle Dan. "Tour mother has been
w a ?a_. - - -
iciuu? uie uuw 9uam X DlfO to DC.
She Mid U a girl spake to me I would
bluth to my hair roots. Well, I reminded
her of the time your father
first came to see her and the Joke we
played on them, so I guess that will
hold her tor a while.**
Continuing, Uncle Dan said: "Ton
want to talk more about the war, do
you? Well, war methods hare undergone
many changes and they are still
changing. No two wars are fought
alike. In early times, the weapons were
stones, clubs, spears,-bows and arrows,
swords, etc. In this kind of warfare,
victory was with the strong right arm.
Men of enormous size and strength
were the great warriors. The Invention
of gunpowder, however, has
changed all this. It has enabled men
to kill one another at a considerable
distance, and do It wholesale. The
war, as we know It now. Is a combine
iion or cnemicais, machinery, mathematical
calculations and highly trained
men. Just think of It! Airplanes,
submarines, armored tanks, or caterpillars,
poison gases, and curtains of
fire are all used for the first time In
this war; and they are destructive beyond
anything heretofore known.
"The methods followed by the kaiser
and his allies are simply devilish.
He must answer in history to the killing
of thousands of Innocent women
and children. He has broken every
International law and every rule of
warfare; he has bombarded hospitals
and undefended dtles, sunk Bed Cross
ships on errands of mercy; he has destroyed
cathedrals and priceless treasures
of art that can never be replaced;
he has made slaves of his prisoners;
he has tried to get us Into war with
Japan; his emmlssarles have blown up
our ships, burned our factories and
fired our forests. He knows no mercy
or honor. The most charitable view
to take of this blood-thirsty tyrant
is that he Is crazy.
"One thing Is certain,** continued Uncle
Dan, with great emphasis, "Our
liberty, the safety of our homes and
our country, and the security of the
world demand the speedy and abso
imp uvermruw or uie Kaiser ana
crushing out once and forever the
reign of Prussian brutality."
"How about the German people,"
said BUlle.
Uncle Dan replied: "The splendid
German people were happy, thrifty,
prosperous and contented. They have
been tricked Into war and made to
suffer the tortures of the damned;
they have been cruelly and systematic*
ally deceived. God grant that the real
facts may get to them, and If they do,
Lord help the kaiser I"
"Of course the allies will win," said
Mrs. Graham.
"Probably so," said Uncle Dan. "But
If we are to win, we must go the limit
We must check the awful deatructlon to
shipping by the German submarines,
or we may not be able to get food and
supplies to our own men and to our allies;
we must also put hundreds of
thousands, and perhaps millions, of
first-class soldiers In the battle line.
"Food Is the first consideration," Uncle
Han continued. "No army can hold
out against hunger. It has been said
that food will win the war, and this is
largely true. Hence the Importance
of the farm In the war plans of our
country."
Mrs. Graham Interrupted by saying:
"In view of the Importance of farming,
don't you think, Daniel, that the farmers
ought to be exempted from war j
servicer
"No, a thousand times no," qald Uncle
Dan, striking the table sa bard to
emphasize his protest that he tipped
over a vase of flowers. "We must
have no class legislation. The duty to
serve is the common duty of all, and
no class must be relieved of this obligation.
The question of exemption
must be a personal one and decided by
the facts surrounding each case. In
no other way can we have a square
deal, and to insure this. It !? the duty
of congress to pass immediately the
Chamberlain bill, or some such measure,
which Is fair to all classes. It
would settle all these questions and
do it fairly. Safety now and safety
hereafter demands sudT legislation,
and let me suggest that you and your
friends get busy with your congressman
and senators and urge them to
prompt action.
"It Is time for us to realize that we
are not living in a fools' paradise;
thnt this great country of oars cost
oceans of blood and treasure and It is
only doe to the loyalty, sacrifice and
wvitc ui our loreramers tlist we have
n country. and It Is our highest duty
to preserve it unimpaired and pass It
on to posterity, no matter what the
cost may be. Our citizenship and their
ancestors came from all parts of the
world to make this country a home
and enjoy Its blessings and opportunities;
hence, in the crisis before us,
It Is the duty of everyone to stand
squarely back of our country and be
prepared to defend the flag. Everyone
in this crisis Is either pro-American
or pro-German. Great as the country
is, there is not room enough for
two flags."
