If you were born abroad, you are still a citizen of, the United States if your father was a citizen of the United States at the time you were born, unless you nave; expatriated yourself. (2) You are a naturalized citizen if j you have completed your naturaliza-: tion; that is, if you have "taken final papers." But you are not a citizen if( you have only declared your inten tion to become a citizen (that is, if I you have only "taken out first pa-; pers"); in the latter case you are only a "declarant."

Consider your answer thoughtfully. If it is true that there is another mouth than your own which you alone have a duty to feed, do not let your military ardor Interfere with the wi?h of the nation to reduce war's misery to a minimum. On the other hand,! unless the person you have in mind; is solely dependent on you. do not,: hide behind petticoats or children. 10. Married or single (which)- Race : (specify vrhich) ?

Do yon claim exemption from draft? Specif? grounds. I Because you claim exemption from draft, it by no means follows that you are exempt.

Spartanburg, May 24.?The central committee of the South Carolina Sun-' day School association, composed of the Rev. w. H. K. Pendleton, chair man; H. L. Bomar, R. E. Boggs, 3. T. Lanham, T. M. Lyles of this city, and M. F. Ansel, Greenville; the Rev. W. I. Herbert, Greenwood, and Dr. P.' M. Eilerbe, Jonesville, Held an im portant meeting on May 14. At this meeting plans were outlined for the work of the State association during this. convention year. The committee were unanimous in elect ing Miss Milwee Davis of Laurens as rural superintendent of the State as SOCiiillUIl. JliSb Uil \ 13 10 j/cuuuauj fitted for this work and will render the Sunday schools of the State splen did service. Her special work will be with the rural Sunday schools, but she will be prepared to help in the general work of the district and coun-j ty conventions. Miss Davis will give practically all her time during the year to field and office work. She and ? r\ m.vv _:Tl tne general secruiry, rt. jl?. yycuu, win attend the international training school for Sunday school workers at Lake Geneva from July 1 to July 15. H. A. Wise of Columbia was reelected as secondary division superintendent, and Paul Quattlebaum of Conway as adult division superintendent. It was voted by the central commit tee to adopt the self entertainment plan for the next State convention. This action was taken in view of the fact that because of the size of the conveKtion only a very few cities in the State can entertain it, and these few cities would have to entertain it too frequently under the present plan. The general secretary was authorized to take up the matter with any cities that may wish to entertain the con vention under the new plan. The State association, in connection with the international association, will help to promote "Patriotic Day" in South Carolina on Sunday, July 1. Plans for observing the day will be announced within a few weeks. "Come to Sunday school day," which was ob served tnruuguuut uvc ouuucni uiaivo on February 11, is to be observed again next year, at a time to be set by the committee. The general sec retary reported that the outlook for the convention year just beginning is in every respect very encouraging. SHERIFFS SALE.

WILSON' PROMISES FAIR TREATMENT TO GERMANS I> THE UXITED STATES "Washington, May 24.?President Wilson is determined that unnatural ized Germans in this country shall not be moiested or discriminated against so long as they mind their own busi-1 ness and do not show antagonism to! the American government's war pol-l icy. The following appeal to the! public to treat them fairly was issued ( today by the government's official j press bureau, the committee on pub-! lie information: | "It has been brought to the at-! tention of the government that some: large employers are dismissing alienj laborers who have not completed their' naturalization. Such doubtful zeal is j contrary to the spirit of the presi-i dent's proclamation of April 6, which j definitely promises to law abiding; aliens freedom to pursue their occu-i pa lions. "The justness of our war measures! should be watched by the fairness,' with which we treat in our private! relations the aliens who live among j us m loyalty to our ideals. Many; through neglect have not completed; r.be formal processes of acquiring Clt-j izeriships. Employers who make this the basis of discharging them will] create divisions where none now ex ist. It is the part of sanity and na tional good uense to avoid any impli cations or unjust persecution." JAPS SEND FLEET TO MEDITERRANEAN t London,f May 24.?.Japan has sent a fleet of major warships to Medi terranean water to he!n the French and British fleets in combating u-Lwa: warfare. Announcement to this effect was made in tlie commons today soon after th*> loss of 458 lives in the torpedo ing of two large vessels, one the British transport Transylvania of nearly 15,000 tons, had been made public officially. Determined, it is believed to try to starve out tlie allied Saloniki expedi tion and to cut it off from reinforce ments, Germany has of late carried on in the Mediterranean a submarine campaign of extreme vigor. * ? Sonfbnms and Mfllets the Best 4 <$> CrOj>s to Fornish Hay for the $> <$> Soitlu <S> ? <9 Washington, May 23.?In the South eastern States the sorghums, Sudan grass, millets and eowpeas are the fAroo-A ArAno Vi^ot cii$ + or? f nr? cnwm of planting. The transportation prob lem, uncle/ present conditions, prom ises to be a highly important one. It is very desirable for this reason that farmers in the Southeastern States should grow sufficient hay to feed their work stock and other farm ani mals instead of importing it from oth er sections of the country. By doing this, the United States department of agriculture states they will relieve the pressure on transportation agen cies and release large quantities of marketable hay for the use of the army. The forage crops named succeed even on the moderately fertile lands of the South. It is not necessary, however, for the cotton farmer to reduce his acreage in cotton to insure himself' of an abundance of hay for his own live stock. Usually therci is a large amount of untilled land in the South and if this were utilized in the produc tion of forage there would be an abundance of hay to supply all home requirements. One feature to be considered if Southern farmers are to .produce their own hay, is, the cost and scarcity of seed for planting. J 2 particular the price of Sudan grass seed is so high that it practically prohibits the seed ing of tnis crop for hay purposes. To a certain extent this is true also of the cowpea. On the other hand, seed of millets and the sorghums can be ot. a m"f*h ^ore reasonable price. These, therefore, are recom as rlift moat staisfactorv croDS for providing hay for home consump tion in the Southeast. In order to conserve the seed sup ply of sweet sorghums it is advised that the practice of seeding these sorghums broadcast or in close drills be discontinued very largely for the present. Sixty pounds of seed per acre are required where these crops are drilled or broadcasted, and only five pounds if planted in rows and cultivated. This latter method re quires more labor, btat the yield per acre of fodder will equa^ or exceed the yield of hay from broadcast or drilled seedings and a much larger acreage can be planted with the same amount of seed. Good gardens mean full dinner tables, something needed in every home. THE HERALD AND NEWS. ONE YEAR i\>R ONLY 11.50 i SUM1V Winthron NOTED EDUCATORS?Sor a series of lectures--Dr. G Dr. C.

In buying glass jars, secure the best. One of the most satisfactory types of jars is the "Lightning Pat ent" with a glass top held in place by a simple wire spring. Use the best grade of tin cans even though they cost a ntue more man the cheaper grades. With glass jars always use new! rubbers. j Fyuit for canning should be ripe' ! but firm.
