Your letter to the attorney gener

and further, whether or not liquors

signed to any individual and remain
ing undelivered at the expiration "of
^the time In which the gallon-a-month
Ract is effective, would be subject to
^seizure by State or municipal author
W ities.
"I beg to advise tliat tne quarr-a
month act, passed at the recent ses

i fective April 25, 1917, after whch
'time it will be unlawful for any per

of liquor or rather alcoholic beverages
in any calendar month, which amount '
must be for medicinal purposes.
"In regard to the right of State1
or municipal authorities to seize li
quors which have not been delivered
to the consignee prior to April 25, 1
, beg to advise that section 1 of the

j To the Editor of The State:
! I have been reading recently a great
Q cii 111 Lilt? Y* jl au w v> v?*w
farmer. It is rather noticable that
there is an idea prevalent that the
i' farmer has no ability to run his own
affairs and that the city or town
chap of all vocations knows so well
: how to attend to the farmer's busi
| ness and that the farmer, recognizing
! thi.s superior knowledge of his city'
friend, of course, is glad to hare his
! advice. I
?:
And to what end after all?
Just the other day I was in the:
city of Greenville and while sitting!
in the lobby of the hotel at whicn!
I was stopping, a farmer brought in
five half gallon jars or glass cans of J
blackberries, two of huckleberries ana'
three of home made pickles. Tne j
+T-1Q Vinncp cairi she would frive
j him 2n cents each for tne ten hair
I gallons, which he agreed to take, but
! when she examined them more close
! ly she' said he would have to throw
in one can, as she could easily pacx!
all the pickles in two cans, and said It]
he would go with her to the kitchen'
c,y,a nrrmiri shnw him how it could be |
done. He, of course, took the $2.25!
for the ten half gallons or 20 quarts, j
I began figuring what he had made.!
To put up the ten quarts of black-f
berries it took at least 20 quarts fresh
berries, at 2 cents the quart for'
I picking. That was $1. The four i
j quarts of huckleberries would takej
eight quarts fresh berries at 10 cents
the quart for picking, was 80 cents.
In the one and one-half gallon or
pickles there was possibly three
quarts vinegar that cost him 30 cents.:
There was probably 15 cents wortn
of spices in the pickle and 40 cents'
worth cf . sugar in both berries and,
pickles. The cucumbers, artichokes,
onions and other things in the pickles !
may or may not have^cost him any-j
thing: Now add these together: 10u,i
80, 30, 15, 40?32.65, The lady was J
to return the glass jars, but of course,'
the rubbers were lost and the gooa
wife of the farmer has nothing else!
to do but stand over the hot stove fnj
the summer time and put up tills'
fruit and it is a great pleasure forf
this farmer to get to go into the hotei i
and take for his stuff about one-thiraj
what it would cost if bought from a j
store.
Now, . since everybody is - advsing
the farmer, I guess as I am one or
them I can at least sjggest that they
at : n~?nerVi f nf\A attl ft
be - sure iney reuse cuuu&u IWUUVUM I
for their own family and farm hands!
and stock and to raise for sale those!
things that he has good reason to
believe he can find a fair local mar
ket for.
Why don't these self arrogated wel
fare workers take some steps looking
to the establishment of a market for
the things thevv want us to raise?

RUSSIA PROMISES SOT
TO MAKE SEPARATE PACT
FOR PEACE WITH GERXAST
Washington, April 23.?An official
dispatch from JKetrograa, received cy
the state department late today, stat
er1 that there can be no separate peace
between Russia and Germany.
Reports that the overthrow of the
Russian czar would result in Russia
forsaking the entente were denied in
the dispatch, the author of wjilcn
was not given.
"The charge that the imperial ad
ministration was planning a separate
peace causea ils uveiutiuw auu Has
tened the revolution, which was brief
and bloodless," the Snatch said.
The" official announcement of the
state department follows:
"The department of state has re
ceived a telegraphed report on condi
tions in Russia. Concern is shown
over reports of the possibility of a
'separate peace' which have appeared
in the press, evidently Inspired Dy
Germany. The telegram says thai
Russia is no more likely to abandon
the war without achieving her object
than is the United States. It is point
ed out that the charge that the im
perial administration was planning
a separate peace caused its overthrow
and hastened the revolution whicn
was brief and bloodless.
"It is stated that the revolution
will expedite the defeat of Germany
and establishment of a general peac*5,
permanent and universal.
"The prompt recognition accorded
i Russia by the United States, tlie dis
patch says, could not have come at a
more opportune moment, and ?ave
encouragement-and help to the coun
; cil of ministers and their supporters.
"President Wilson's thrilling allu
sion to the Russian revolution in his
| address to congress has made a deep
and lasting impression on the Rus
t sian people. It has been translated,
! together with other of the president's
utterances concerning American par-.
! ticipation, into Russian and they are
being given the broadest circulation
in a pamphlet for free distribution.
"Xo people, it is stated, so circum
stanced have ever made greater sac
rifices for freedom than the Russians
and they fully realize that a separate
peace would jeopardize all they have
gained.
? "The American form of government,
says the report, is the model of the
Russian people ana ine parucipauvu
of the United States has infused in
them a confident spirit and imbuea
them with a firm determination. They
have an army unequalled in numbers,
unexcelled in courage and led by
commanders of ability and patriotism.
They hare resources inestimable ana
unapproachable.
"If Americans are increase*, at tne
intrigue and underhanded achina
tions of Germany in th' ma 3t ana
oil their border Russia * \r four
fold cause for like rea^ ana
will make any sacrifice ^ - jr than
conclude'a separate peace."

! Designers Shape the Silhouette in Va

!
New York, April 16, 1917.'
Paris fashions have begun to ar-'
rive in X-ew York?and all in good,
| time for Easter, too!
| Enough of these models have come
' safely through the perilous trip
1 across the Atlantic to give us an idea
' of the Parisian decree as to what shall
be worn this spring and summer.
I
| Whether the silhouette would be
straight, oval or "barrel" is the ques
j tion that most women have been anx
ious to have settled. It would be so
maddening to find that Paris.-had. vot
ed in favor of the barrel silhouette
when you had finally decided upon a
straight-line frock for Easter, ana
ice versa.
A Summer Frock of Fine White Toile
and Flonneing.
Fortunately, the French houses
! have been in favor of all three sii
I noueiies, so me caoit:e rests v*im mc
, individual, and no one having eleci
i ed to appear either slender or slight
I ly puffed out around the "hips will De
i in any danger of not being correctly
j dressed. Certainly, the fashions are
j most accommodating, in so far as
j they allow one the choice of so many
different styles. .
The soft drapery in skirts is a fea
ture much in evidence among the new
gowns. There are also some tunics,
the lovers of this graceful style will
be glad to know, ^raping is one or
the means of accomplishing the ovai
silhouette with the skirt narrowing
down at the hem and plenty of ful
ness about the waist and hips.
The Width and Length of Skirts.
There is no rule about the width or
the length of skirts, for they vary ac
cording to the caprice of the designer.
Some skirts are as narrow as a yard
at the hem, while others are as wide
as three yards. It is just the same
with the length of skirts. While
some reach the ankles, the shoe-top
length and even shorter is used in
other models. Skirts for street wear
are for the most part inclined to be
narrow. In evening gowns, the pui
fed effect of skirts looped under, to a
narrower foundation is used to a
great extent, and this same effect also
appears here and there among the
afternoon gowns. . .
- The Revival of Foolard.
As-, to material's, it is particularly
interesting to note the revival of fou
lard, an ideal silk for spring and
summer. It is used very freely, es
pecially in the dotted design so well
known. Coin dots of all sizes and
colors appear in many silks. Satin,
taffeta, crep meteor, chiffon and Geor
gette are the smart materials of the
season for afternoon frocks, and the
diaphanous tulles, nets and laces are
used for the evening gown. Black
and-white combinations are used . in
the development of some of the most
charming evening gowns.
The sketch shows a summery frock,
of fine white voile with flouncing
forming the side tunics and the vest
like front of the waist. A ribbon
cirdle supplies the color note in th!&
dainty all-white frock. A narrow
ribbon of the same color as the girdle
holds in the soft gathered poff of the
undersleeve at the wrists. Cut ma
chine stitching is the finish used for
the collar and vest, as 'well as the
edges of the sleeves.
