HOW FARMERS MAT GET FLOUE WITHOUT MEAL Food Administrator’s plan for Tbaae Who Have Their Own C8m Ground. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1918. More German Propaganda. “In ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chinee is peculiar/* No doubt Bret Harte knew whereof be spoke when he penned these lines, bat “in ways that are dark and tricks Columbia, Feb. 9.—The national food administration has given author ity for a modification of the pound-for- pound law in order to give relief to the farmer in South Carolina who has his own com ground locally. Much dissatisfaction has been caused among farmers, who felt that it was unreas onable to ask them to buy Northern or Western meal when they had their own home ground meal which they could use. There was no protest con cerning reduction of the consumption of Aour, 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 com greund by a miller, who will give him a certiAcate. This cer- tiAcate must be Aled with the grocer by the farmer, whereupon he can buy an equal amount of Aour, not in excess of half a barrel. Thia plan waa recommended by prac tically, the unanimous vote of the coun ty food administrators at their meet ing in Columbia on the 4th instant, and has been advocated by a large number of prominent people having knowledge of conditions hi South Car olina. The national administration was by wire immediately consulted about it and on Saturday gave Ita consent to the plan. For the information of county food administrator! and food representatives over this State, millers and farmers, the following is a des- Ma*y Ora* Urn Die Yau** The question la often ashed, what la Meant by “the prime of Alfe." It la dimrnlt to aay; people differ ao ■ach. Moat great men have died comparative ly young. Alexander the Great died at thirty-two, having conquered practical ly tha whole world of hla dny; Julius Caesar waa dead at flfty-flvc*. Napole on died at fifty-two, Oliver Cromwell at fifty-nine, Shakeapeane at fifty-two, Charlea Dlckena at fifty-eight Nearly all the men who made the French Rev olution were dead before they were fifty; many of them before they were forty. Robespierre was only thirty-six when he died, Desmoulins thirty-four. Panton thirty-five, and Mlrabeau for ty-two. Certificate ef Stack boat Want to Get What You Want ?
