The national suffrage association
Is moblizing its 2,000,000 women in
a campaign to increase the food supply
and eliminate waste.
unaer tne newty created cnuirmaiiships
of suffrage agr culture and
suffrage thrift division it is working
with the United States secretary of
agriculture on effective plans for uti
filing two of our greatest assets?
women and land.
Women were the first agriculturists.
and they will be going bark to
an ancestral occupation in becoming
suffrage "farmerettes." Already women
in agriculture in the country
number 1,802,202, by the census of
1916. Many more are ready to prepare
themselves for doing their share
in producing an adequate food supply,
"So part of agricultural work is
beyond the strength of women except
two or three of the heaviest
processes," says Mrs. Rogers, chairman
of the suffrage agriculture comCiOINO

America's Kntry Into War Has Kffect
In Awe<len.
Stockholm (via London), April 10.
.?Ab a re?uit of America's entrance
iuto the war. representatives of Sweden's
cotton mills, who already had
been considering such a step, have
decided to restrict production sharply
in order to afford employment as
long as possible to the operatives.
Even with the new restrictions, it
probably will be impossible to keep
the mills going for more than four
months without importations of raw
material from America, of which it is
feared there is the smallest probability.
Ten thousand workers are affected.

to the women. In every way the
leagues will co-operate as far as possible
with the agricultural department
of the State which is doing
such fine work along this line.
W. W. Long of Clemson has sent to
all the demonstration agents ovet
the State a letter stressing the neea
of growing vegetables. The agricultural
department of the State issues
bulletins of value to all garden growers.
and the same department
through its weekly bulletins is a
kind of distributing agent for surplus
produce of all kinds. In it any one
may advertise whatever he or she
bas for sale in the agricultural line.
South Carolina can raise every necessity
for simple living. That the
people are sending out millions of
dollars for food that can be grown on
any farm intelligently worked in the
State, is keeping the people poor and
is encouraging inefficiency among
the population.
Inefficiency and waste are two se-,
rious economic problems that the
thinking men of South Carolina have
had to contend with. The women
whom economic conditions have
forced into political life are preparing ;
to w ork with them in the solution of i
a problem on whose demonstration
depends the prosperity and the importance
of the State. H. P. L.

COMPLETE DOUBLE TRACK.
Washington, April IS.?final
step* towards giving the Southern
Railway system a double track line
all the way from Washington to Atlanta.
649 miles, were taken when
contracts were let for grading on the
71.5 miles between Charlotte. N. C..
and Mt. Zion, S. C., the only part of
the line not already in service as
double track or under construction.
In order that this work may be completed
as rapidly as possible it was'
let in six sections, running from 5.8
miles to 18 miles in length.
Between Washington and Char
iciie .51?s..5 nines 01 double track are
now in service. leaving only IS.2
miles of single track on which construction
is being rushed as rapidly
as possible. The uncompleted sections
are in the mountains of Virginia.

However, double track was in serr:ce
on only 291.2 miles, leaving

1914, when President Fairfax Har-j
rison announced that he had arranged
to secure the necessary capital
and that the work of double j
tracking the entire line would bepushed
to completion as rapidly as
possible. How actively thi/ work |

the fact that double track is now In |

miles and is now to begin on the remaining
