J&LUUT ^ - PRODUCTION OF BEER WILL BE CONTINUED New York, May 23.?Uninterrupted production of "war beer" until the courts have passed upon the claims of the United States Brewers' Association that the beverage containing 2 3-4 per cent alcohol is non intoxicating was assured today when Federal Judge Mayer granted an injunction restraining government interference with its manufacture. The court declared that his decision had been influenced by President Wilson's message to congress recommending repeal of the war time pro hibition act in so far as it relates to beer and wines,' and by federal Judge Hand's ruling last week that the law placed a ban on the manufacture only of liquors that were, in ?a<& intoxicating. Judge Mayer , , said he would sign the injunction Monday. Although United States District Attorney Caffey, representing the ' . government, opposed granting an injunction, Judge Mayer said he believed such action would contribute to a fair settlement of the questions raised by the brewers undefr the emergency prohibition act. The injunction a temporary one, would be effective, the court said, pending review by the circuit court of appeals, or, if the government shoufd decide to let it stand, until the brewers suit permanently to enjoin prosecutions for manufacture of the 2 3-4 per cent brew, could be tried in the , district court. District Attorney Caffey pointed \ out, that if possible, a decision on appeal should be obtained before July 1, when prohibition of the sale of intoxicants becomes effective, unV * less congress follows the suggestion of the president for repeal or amend^ ment of the law. V Vn The injunction granted was in the ?mt of the Jacob Ruppert Brewing /Company and is intended as a test . . of the case, . 4 - SHORT COURSE FOR CLUB BOYS. f Clemson College, May 23.?The time for holding a short seurse in agriculture for the prize winning dob boys from each county has been fixed for July 7 to July 18 inclusive.

Si We feel sure that many people do not realize how many obligations J] they are under to us for the things they send us and that we do not nrint. They come every week from somewhere, and we can not help feeling sad when we work at them and find that it is not possible to get ^ them into presentable shape for printing. ? In our mind's eye we can see the writers who expect to see what they Jo have written , reproduced in the next paper, and we know how great is the ^ disappointment in many cases, for a< the subject is usually a most wortfcf one. Sometimes it is a memorial, ^ that is sacred to the heart of the, ^ I of writer and many friends. Often it is from a child, in which ^1 case only utter impossibility pre- . ! vents our using it, and then again it ^ is from an aged person, whose dim- 1:1 med faculties do not recognize the ' s? a. xn. Q1 aDsuraiues wmcn renuer it unuv.

FOOD OFFICIALS CONFER ON MILK Plans for insuring a plentiful sap-1 ply of clean, cool, pare milk for the consuming centers of the eastern and southern sections of the United States were formulated at conferences of Federal, State, and city food Officials held recently in Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Fla., and New Orleans, according to officials of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of the enforcement of the Federal food and drugs act. The control of milk under food and health laws is largely a problem for municipal food and health officials, as the bulk of milk consumed in towns and cities is produced near by. Milk which is shipped into inter state commerce, as is the case in cities located near State lines, comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal f?od and drugs act. Federal food officials are cooperating with State j and city officials in making the con-j troj of the milk supply more effective j this season than ever before. More than 200 cities throughout the United States have laboratories equipped for testing and analyzing milk. Dairymen and milk distributors are giving special attention to sanitation in nrAHllAinw onrl H^Qh?iKnfinr? mill' ytvuaviu^ MilVI UiOMlUUVlllg lilllUa | Much milk is rendered unfit for food [ every season because of carelessness in handling or lack of knowledge of correct principles of sanitation. The Dairy Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States , Department of Agriculture, the State experiment stations, and many of the city food and health officials will furnish upon application information regarding improved methods for handling milk in a manner that will I insure it reaching the consumer un- II der'all ordihary circumstances in the I best possible condition. \LVATION ARMY DRIVE S IN SOUTH LAGS houtandt of Worker* Needed io So- ^ licit?Big Men Must Save the 3 h Day. e For the first time in its history, le South faces a failure in the col- ? e ction of funds for a worthy cause, he Salvation Army Home Service and, which commenced on Monday st and is scheduled to continue un1 the 26th, is lagging, and, unless t Ided impetus is given to the drive, is likely that the quota of $1,361,- t )0 will fall short and the name of ^ te South go down in the column of r ates which did not conclude their itriotic program.

There is a growing demand for r ? good breeding cattle in South Carolina.

FIND VALUE IN ANIMAL FATS ' \ r . Recent experiments in the ' Office j of Home Economics of the United t States Department of Agriculture 1 were made on the digestibility of cer tain animal fats not used extensively in a culinary way in this country, j but used commercially to a certain j extlht. On the bpsis of the experiments it is concluded that'goat's butj^ter, hard-palate fat, horse fat, kid s fat, oleo oil, oleo stearin, ox-marrow fat, oxtail fat, and turtle fat, when 3 eaten in amounts equivalent to the p quantity of other fat one would eat 1 in the normal dietary, are well asg similated and should prove whole3 some sources of fat for human consumption. The experiments are der scribed in Bulletin 613, just issued by the department. I 4 r I# ^ . r . ? W w J he / lei lis I i :p> m Vj sir III \ fe / \ 1 WASN'T FROM MISSOURI. .

The first , part of the obituary notice of a pecuniouB citizen had been dumped'm the forms and the next handful of type came off of a galley describing . a recent fire. It read like this: "The pallbearers lowered the body to the grave and as it was consigned to' the ', flames there were few if any regrets for the old wreck had been an eye sore to tfte town lor years. Ul coarse there was individual los$ but that was fully covered by insurance." The ,\ widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of her joys and sori rows owed him five years' subscripjtion. i ; . ?. : "?a- ( rv THE SALVATION ARMY FUND RAISED IN THIS COUNTY NOW $502.00 The Salvation Army drive in Abbeville county will continue the greater part of this week.
