C. fc : ' * \ READY MARKET FOR MO GOODS Home-Canned Products Will be Given Preference Over Maryland and Virginia Paok by Large Concern*. Columbia.?A ready market baa been developed In South Carolina for all home-canned fruits and vegetable* that will be put up during the coming canning season In excess of do* meatlc needs. This announcement has been made by the Conservation and Production Division of the Food Administration, which has been working on the problem of marketing of home-canned products for the past two months. A number of the leading wholesale groeers and Jobbers of the State have not only expressed their willingness to buy home-canned fruit* and vegetables properly prepared for commercial use, but wlH glr? the home-canned product the preference over Maryland and Virginia packed goods. The Food Administration has on Hie the requirements of several large concerns and baa been asked to find the o&nned products to supply their needs. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables can be readily sold, but the packers will be required, as a matter of course, to conform to cer-, tain trade rule*. Ia the first place, the price must be ie conformity with that for which Maryland and Virginia packed goods, can b* bought. Canned products should not be offered for the wholesale trade except In large lots. It Is suggested that j farmers and others who desire to put1 up fruits and vegetables for the market form marketing agencies, in order that their product may he handled in large( lots to a greater advantage. The grades mutt be uniform and certain standards maintained. Hie canned product must of course be p?t up In uniform cases, and the cans unl- j formly labelled. Contracts for. fall deliveries should fee made now or in the very near fntare. Canning clubs, community dubs or marketing agencies wttb large quantities of canned fruits and vegetables to offer for tale should write the Food Administration, Conservation and Protection Division, at Columbia, stating ! what they have to offer at the present tee or what they wiH hare to deliver , la the fafi, stating the price desired and all inform at km. The Food Administration will make bo pur oh as ee or sales, but it may serve as. a connecting link to bring the packers and the dealers together.. ' As has already been announced, there will be plenty of oans and jars available for home oanners during the ooming season. Communities that are not supplied enouxa report do xub r ow AdminlstrtitioB at Columbia, and merchants will be pot In touch with sources of ivppty von request. Attractive stock labels eon be bought at a ery low price. Packers of fruits asd vegetables ' Should remember that they cannot ex* pect to reeeire the retail price for > tiheir prodsots it sold at whole sale, and those wfco have only Job lots to offer shovld seek a market In thetr bom? communities. The wholesaler and the jobber cannot handle JOb Jots. Any Information which may be detired by any Interested person or canning dob wiH be furnished by the. Conaerratlon sad Production Division of the Food Administration, Columbia. DANGEROUS RUMOR SHOWN TO BE FALSE Columbia.?Reports in circulation to the effect that Food Administration officials had stated no further conserration of wheat was necessary hare been nailed as unfouded in a telegram j received by William Elliott, State food administrator, from Herbert Hoover. "Xo statement of this character has ever been iesued," says Mr. Hoover, and the federal food administrator then states frankly the exaot situation which emphasises the absolute necessity of even greater conservation of j wheat than the American people have j yet practiced. For that reason the ap- j peal was recently made to the Amert- j ?" *V A AViimaVai KW ! U pouyio, UUUUgU UiC kUUlbuva, uj Mr. Hoover, asking that every one who possibly can do so discontinue eating wheat or wheat products in any form until the next harvest. It is - stated Sa Mr. Hoover's telegram that American supplies of wheat j until the next harvest allow a home | consumption of not more than one- j third of normal, If America Is to main- 1 tain allied supplies?that is, the send-! tag of wheat to Burope, as tuis coun- j try i? pledged to do. At the beginning of May, there were in farmers' hands and in storage in | Amerioa about 75,000,000 bushel? of j wheat, which will have to carry the i American people for approximately three months, until the new crop ! ru\mam in- Am?ri/<n'ii normal consumo-! tton for three month* would be 110,000,000 bushels, not allowing the elite* anything. It can therefore be readily ?een thai reports quoting Food Administration officials as saying there is no further need of vheat saving are rlmply m mm peepaeeedf REVIVAL MEETING CLOSES IN MILL DISTRICT Young Collegian at Evangelist. The Methodist Church of the mill district has been carrying on a twoweek* revival meeting, which closed Wednesday night. Rev. J. N. Isom, pastor of the church, expressed entire satisfaction with the spirit and consequence of the meeting. Some forty or fifty results marked the effectiveness of the evangelist's appeal, young Carl Griffith of Wofford College, doing the preaching. Rev. J. L. Daniel was present at several of the services and thus lent it his support. Mr. Griffith is a nephew of Rev. J. H. Danner, who conducted the evangelistic services at Mr. Daniel's church recently. A tall, athletic young man with ruffled black hair and aggressive nose, he looked any thing but like a minister, when we went to see him at Mr. Purdy's. His story sounds like the fiction of "Horatio Alger. In the ups and downs of life, he laughingly assured us that the downs had predominated, so far as he was concerned. Mr. Griffith is paying his way through Wofford College, where he is in a Junior. At the present time, he holds enough revival meetings in the summer vacation practically to accomplish this. The young evangelist was born in David County, North Carolina, uYTWivjr-trvu jcau agu. nt an canjr age he felt the call to the ministry, even before being converted. His conversion, he assured us, was merely the crystallization of a previous determination to precah. This step was taken three years ago and almost immediately he entered upon his ^career. Asked where he had y) attneded school. Mr. Griffith said that he had spent two years in The Textile Industrial Institute of Spartanburg. "I want you to be sure to >. i\ ' lU Iwil AT CTAD1 M JlrtDJ to buy good; high WILL PA\ W; % V mention that school," he said, "because I want its repuation to grow. It is one of the grandest little schools on earth." Of course, such a strong statement as this aroused our curiosity. Why was it such a fine school? One reason we had already begun to suspect. On the young man's watch fob hung a gold medal and it was marked, "T. I. I.?Oratory." But the chief reason lay in the opportunities the school offered to the poor boy. For there he can get work in the school mill or shops and thereby pay his way through a literary course. After attending the Institute, Mr. Griffith spent a year in Asberry College of Ken tucky, and then entered Wofford as a Sophomore. The meeting in Abbeville has been a very successful one. Sunday services were especially fine, the altar being crowded with repentent persons. On Monday night we had the pleasure of being present and were very much impressed. The singing was lively and voluminous. The words, "Great day of His Wrath," in Rev. 20:11 were chosen as key to the message. Many days have appeared great in our eyes, but' God has spoken of them and not condescended to so term them: not even the day of creation or of the flood or of the resurrection. But God has called one day great and one alone, namely, the day of his judgment. And it is indeed crreat. The number of people involved, the revelation promised, and the very fact that it is coming when least expected, all contribute to this end. Moreover, it, of all days, is God's day. Andj there shall be joy on the right hand and eternal dispair on the left hand. After the sermon, which was; delivered wiht dignified earnestness, three young ladies came forward and were received. Mr. Griffith left immediately following the meeting for his home in Pelzer, S. C., where he will rest up for a few days before entering his ! next meeting. We wish him great success in the service, which he will I enter this fall, and also in his future ministerial career. It was in' deed a pleasure to meet him. im 1 be in Abbe1 July 13th LES OF I < sound Mules 15 i, 6 to 12 years r GOOD PR ar Mu J. M. BILL! I II I? PROF.

Bring Back Its . 't Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea -with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Just a few applications will prove a revelation 11 your hair Is fading, streaked or ' gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, Is trou- <' blecome. An easier way Is to get a 'h bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This Is the old-time recipe Improved by the addition of Other In- y<j gradients. While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen , a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning ' all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your r " hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation Is a delightful toilet requisite and is not Intended for the . yi$j cure, mitigation er prevention of dla- ' ease. I . fcffil| 51 rille J I.
