Wednesday, November 6 The "flu" has flown from many sections. Rome may not have been built in a day but Republics are now being made overnight. Germany's refusal of the Allies' terms of peace would make bad mat ters worse for the Kaiser. The county Service Flag with its 700 stars will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever to our people. As the sugar allowance has been increased 50 per cent, it will be eas ier for our people to keep sweet. i It is a noteworthy fact that the Kaiser has not recently made a boast ful reference to his copartnership ' with the Deity. ! When the Kaiser takes refuge in Switzerland and mounts the Alpine peaks for recreation he will not be lord of all he surveys. Wonder how long it will be after ! the war before the cost of living de dines. There is not even a fluctuation , yet. All is au upward trend. Better pay your taxes while you haye the money. The county treasur er reports that tax payers are rather loath to part with their money this fall. Rye is still kept to the front. Peo ple used to be urged not to drink "rye," while now they are being urg ed to plant rye as a profitable sub stitute for wheat. < If the Germans can not be made to feel the war at the point of the bayonet on their own soil, they should be made to feel it through EXACT ING peace terms. The weather man seems to be working hand-in-hand with the fuel administrator. We are now well up in November and but little fuel has been consumed this fall. , A great need in the South is for our citizens to arouse from their po litical apathy and vote in the general election. Too few of our men take the general election seriously. It will make you feel good to give to the United War Work fund till it hurts. Merely to give what can be easily spared is not sufficient, even for the soothing of your own con science. The United War Work is a cause that should appeal with irresistible force to every patriotic heart. Such a cause, unlike Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, is a real test ?f our patriotism.' The American people, together j with the other Allies, will not be de ceived by Germany's camouflaged constitution. There must be a real reconstruction in Germany before there eau be permanent peace. Edgefield county will be in the forefront in its hominy supply this fall but may "lag in the number of porkers being made ready for slaugh ter. The next best thing to peace now, is hog and hominy a-plenty. There was a time when every pos sible inducement was offered the Ger mans of the Northwest to come South and purchase homes. But hereafter those whose garments are in any wise tainted with loyalty to the fath-( erland are not wanted in this part of tte country. influenza has claimed some shin ing marks, both men and women throughout South Carolina, for its victims. It has doubtless been gener ations since an epidemic of disease so generally terrorized our people. In seores and hundreds of cases ex perience, skill and science were com frffUly baffled. Begin Food Crop. Now is the time to begin planning for a large food crop for 1919. It will be recalled that when the Food Administration found it necessary to take over the sale and distribution of flour last year it was then too late for ma/iy farmers to provide home grown flour for their own pantries. Now is the time to sow wheat for next year's harvest. Farmers cannot only increase the food supply of the the country by sowing largely of wheat but they can be independent to some extent of the Food Adminis tration by having their own home grown food products in their pantry. Be patriotic and independent by pro ducing large food crops in 1919. Be gin right by sowing a large acreage in wheat. United War Work. The subscribing for Liberty bonds and the purchasing of War Savings Stamps involved no sacrifice on the part of our people. By this means scores and hundreds of persons have been benefitted by being forced in 1 a way to save some of their earnings. ? What we hold now in government se curities in the form just mentioned is no test of patriotism. We will, however, within the next 10 days have appeals made to vs for contributions to the .United War Work which will be a test not only of our patriotism but of our appre ciation of the sacrifices that our boys ?"over there" are making for us. The ! man who gives one dollar who should ! give ten dollars merits scorn rather than praise and likewise the man who gives five dollars when he is fi I nancially able to give twenty-five dol lars proves that he is selfish, unpa triotic and lacking in appreciation of the sacrifices that the American sol diers are making for his home and loved ones. j By contributing to the United War Work we are giving direct aid to our boys. The money will be expended under government supervision for their personal comfort and pleasure. The goverment can not provide wholesome diversion for our boys during their leisure hours, but the Y. M. C. A. and other kindred organ izations can and will provide these things if we will only supply neces sary means. Surely no appeal should have to be made to our people here at home who in the main are prosper ing because of the war which our boys are waging. Should not we wil lingly share with them this accumu lated wealth? We feel confident that the people of Edgefield county will go far beyond the amount, $11,000, that is asked of them. Sugar Allowance Increased. The following telegram was re ceived by William Elliot, food ad ministrator for South Carolina, from Herbert Hoover at Washington: "The rapid manufacture of the new Beet Sugar crop in the West and the new crop Louisiana Cane sugar in' the South together with the freer railway transporta*.!? n condi tions, the reductions that we have in the consumption of sugar in the manufacturing trades and the patri otic conservation in the past four months enables uso to increase the household allowance of sugar from two pounds per person per month to three pounds per person per month with the same ratio to public eating places as from November 1st. This makes good our promise to increase the household allowance of sugar at the earliest possible moment that our supplies would justify and make it possible fo rthe householder to more freely use the apple, cranberry, and rrape fruit products and the use of the fruits canned during the summer without sugar. "The regulations are also revised to the extent that any person may purchase his whole family allowance at one time if he so desires; that is, any family may purchase a month's supply, for the entire family in one purchase from tb?e retail trades." Yours very truly, WILLIAM ELLIOT. Food Administrator for South Caro lina. Columbia, S. C. November 1, 1918. Sleep and Rest. One of the most common causes of insomnia and restlessness is indi gestion.
