THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP As was to be expected the frien< * of a good many prominent lawye: and of some of the judges of tl state are mentioning their names i suitable men to succeed Judge Jo eph T. Johnson as judge of the Ui . ited States District Court for , th " 1 - < XL. 1 district. IVIOSI UI tile ittwjicio miu; names have been mentioned and a of the judges- whose, names been mentioned are capable of mlin the office with distinction and wit . .

GERMANY'S CHASTISEMENT - It would , appear that the Allie y world in general is fust a little to :. ' anxious to hear weeping and wailin / in Germany. . It will do German good to do a little' real weepinj though we doubt if it conies from repentent heart or will even be cor ducive of repentence ;but it wont d us any good to get apy pleasure or ' of her travail. What would we think of a paret c who got pleasure out of the chastts< ment of a wayward child? We stan . in the same relation to German: The peace terms are giving German -wher just deserts, but the terms ai hard and will no doubt cause , suffe: 'r ing in Germany, which is right. F( us to get pleasure out the troubl< fj" whigfc ,'-*he has. bronfektdown * upc - rj? herself would place us in the san TC categdry With the Germans in -tl past war, when they showed then * selves capable of all kinds of crueli : ?refined and unrefined. * However much Germany will su fer from the peace terms she will n< suffer a fraction of the amou which she makes out. Like tl * ffnall boy that is whipped, there w be much crying -for effect. A rig attitude toward Germany will tal an element of bigness, there mu be a clear perspective. We mu realize the justness of the pea terms; we must understand that th< are harsh. Our own reaction is ii portant. 'ABBEVILLE IS COMING ALON The following published in tl Spartanburg Journal and written 1 Major J. C.?

[t Times-Register, has been installed as ^'editor of the Abbeville Press and oj Banned. He is a native of Virginia, |! , was graduated ^from % Hampden-Sid- i ,e| riey college in 1911, was recently dis- 1 r.'charged from the army with ,a lieu-1] e tenant's commission, has had much' e practical experience in newspaper, ' ^ | work and it *is promised tha^ "he j t will make the" Press arid Banner ' aj ] e i better paper than it Has ever been,". i -Iy ,A ' . t I a whicK means that he will have to < f get up early in the morning and stay r, up late at night; for, as the Hon. W. 1 it P. Grefene says in announcing: the apI pointme'nt of Mr. Clark ''to his new . ? ' position, "the running of a county >{ paper is an eight-hour->day job for ? even a man who loves to work." n> In breakiflff'Tiis editorial connecj?tton with the paper, which" he _~has ? conducted with much success for the last fouf years, Mr. Greene expresses the pleasure he has had in the w&rk, ' the delightful experience he has had with the working members of thej ; craft in the State, the regret he feels j j in retiring from the field because of i 0 j the demands of his profession at the; g I bar and the single object he had in j ^ j acquiring the paper to- make it worth! r,j while, to "'make it have opinions andj a | to express them whether anybody j j agreed witn tnem or not." tie turns j 0 The Press and Banner over to Mr.' lt Clark with ihe statement that "the' editor will have his own views and' will conduct the paper without interJ"jference from the owners. He will be d responsible for his views to the pub-j Z' lie and his own conscience." That, is y the wisest thirig h,? c^d have done e and the safest thing.

They got Willie and Tommiej - together, along with a lot of other j boys, all. of whom stoutly denied all G'| knowledge of the crime.

The last reports obtainable When the fourth campaign ended showed $4,599,000,000 already tabulated or 76 per cent of the $6,000,000,000 total, although final subscriptions amounted to $6,991,000,000. ; Up to today in the current loan 85.54 per cent, of the total sought had been pledged. 1 Official figures tonight showed that S the Minneapolis, St. Louis and Cleve- ? land districts had already raised more 9 than 100 per cent, and the Chicago 3 district reported that its quota had m certainly reached that mark, al- S though tabulation of figures to sup- 9 port the claim could not be com- ? piecea. r- * New York district managers calcu- I lated that their district on final ac- I counting1 would go about'$200,000,- P 000 ubove its quota. . ' E Messages from Boston and Phila- B' delphia district headquarters said cripically, "Don't worry." ' The increase in subscription today over the total last night was $534,7680,00. Aside from this the feature of developments today was the jump of- the Cleveland in the percentage column from ninth to third place with an increase of from 53 to more than 100 per cent. _-JS Boston, Cleveland, Baltimore, St* Louis and Washington were among the cities which officially obtained their quotas early today. Alaska and Hawaii also made similar records. , Atlanta district managers sent crord that rural bapks were slow in sending in their subscriptions as in previous campaigns; but that final reports would show, the district had done what was expected of it. FINDING FOODS ADULTERATED. Contamination is one form of adulteration' which covers a ' Jarge number of violations, a$d is due principally to. carelessness or lack of Knowledge of proper metnoas ior preparing, handling, shipping, and' storing perishable foods, as is the ~ case ^with milk having a high bacterial count; spoiled fish,- rotten eggs, to! -welled < canned goods, decomposed tomato pulp, and putrid meat. , Cu The food specialists have done ex- t0 tensive experimental work in devel- su oping methods for preparing and handling perishable foods, and in aiding manufacturers', shippers, and st< dealers to apply those methods in a ?a< practical'way. xThe marked improve- 3U ment in the methods of ? handling mi perishable^ foods_ during recent years ?* has been d^e, in the opinion of the food officials, as much to the experl- w? mental and educational work as to ?a the regulatory action under the *1C Food and Drugs Act er Substituting a cheaper article of ^u1 food in whole or in part for a .more, be expensive one is a favorite form of sa adulteration which in some instances 80 relieves the pocketbook without injury to h^H and leaves the pur- ^1 haser wiser. In many In-' stances irthfcrform of adulteration,]^ however, the substituted ingredient (re has less food value or nutritiye ma-jbe terial than the genuine article. Such ot forms of substitution include the addition of ground pepper shells to pepper; chicory to coffee; dilute ace- (c tic acid to cider vinegar; distilled ar vinegar to cidar or sugar vinegar; 01 glue to gelatine; and artificial extract, to vanilla flavor. The milk man is not the only visitor to the pump or hydrant^ AddedN water or c0 excessive moisture has been found in SP oysters, fruit juices, canned goods, " vinegar, and grains, and even in Hriprl flT>T)1f?s as well ns in rvfVior fnnrll.? . _rr ? ? CI products. The cases in which it was charged that ingredients harmful to health had been deliberately added to foods ^ are few in number. The Federal it Food and Drug Act specifically pro- p. hibits the addition of such ingredients to food products..
