The meeting ?:n v, ^ v. ? 1,3 +V r\ T off Avef\n TiOfpl Will UC wciu CVL mt, . Dr. Long has called twenty-five of his best farm demonstration men to meet him for the purpose of outlining the campaign which will te conducted in every county in the state. Every farmer in South Carolina will be asked to sign a pledge card to produce more wheat and to rasie as man-; hogs as possible. The census of the state will be taken through the school children. Every school child in. South Carolina will be asked to carry a card home to be signed by the parent. The following letter vrill be sent to every country house in the state: "I am sending you a card asking for your co-operation with your government in a service that is equally necessary with that of serving in the trenches and that is to assist in increasing the food sup-ply of the world in the growing of at least two acres of wheat to the plow and the raising of at least one additional litter of pigs more than you have been doin^ in the past few years. If you expect * ?- ? flruir to have your usuai quauutj bread for the use of your family and plantation you must grow it. The government will not permit you to draw- upon the surplus supply of the west. This is going to feed our army and those of our allies. 0"There are fewer hogs in South Carolina than there was in 1915.' The meat supply of the United States and the world is less than at any time in the l?istory of the world, so far as information is recorded. A 200-pound hog will bring you as much as you used to receive for a 500-pound balfc of cotton. Remember we are asking you only to increase your pork by raising the pigs from one additional sow. If every farmer will comply with this modest request the meat situation will be solved and the requirements of our government met. Could we ask you to do less? "These cards do not need to be stamped. Fill the'm out, sign the and mail and they will be delivered without postaoe. Yours very truly. W. W. Long, Director.''

BIG CHANGE FOR YOUTH IN NAVY Offers the Best Opportunities for Antive Serving. STEADY ADVANCES IN PAY Splendid Technical Education and Liberal Pensions Are Strong Features of the Service?Several Avenues Are Open to the Ambitious to Secure Commissions. The United States navy offers more opportunities to the enlisted man and gives better pay both for active service and in retirement than any other brunch of the armed forces of the government. Starting at the very beginning it is possible for a young man by work and study to have continuous and frequent advancement with increase of pay. To his base pay there is always extra pay added for special duties and with each enlistment his pay is also increased. As an instance of this, a young man enlisting in the navy receives now pay at the following rates: Apprentice seamen, $32.60 a month; seamen, second class, $35.90, and seamen, $3S.40. From this grade he may become a petty officer receiving a present war pay of $41 for third class, $46.50 for second class, and $52 for first class. Rising to a chief petty officer his present war pay is from $61 to $83, depending on his class of skilled work. The next higher grade is that of warrant officer, which is a life position, attainable only by promotion from enlisted grades. The pay of a warrant officer is from $1,500 to $2.000 a year, depending upon length of service with benefits of retirement at sixty-four on three-quarters pay or at any time before sixty-four for disability incurred in line of duty. The warrant officer's grade is composed of boatswains, gunners, carpenters, machinists, sailmakers, pharmacists and pay clerks. Standing of Warrant Officers. Warrant officers have a still higher step in that they are commissioned as chief warrant officers in their various grades, with rank of ensign, after six years of service as boatswain, gunner, carpenter, machinist, pharmacist, or pay clerk. After six years' further service from date of commission they /receive the pay and allowances of a lieutenant junior grade in the navy and after 12 years' service from date of commission they receive the pay and allowances of a lieutenant in the navy. The advancement which is open to ambitious young men who enlist in the navy is not limited to the grade of warrant officer. There are several avenues open for promotion to commission; for example: A boatswain, gunner or machinist or a chief boatswain, chief gunner or chief machinist who has been in his grade for four years and is mder thirty-five may enter the examination for appointment as ensign. This examination is held every year, appointments being limited to 12 annually. A man who wins a commission in this manner is entitled to the same pay, priv lieges, honors and opportunities for further advancement as are open for officers who are graduates of the Naval academy. Pay clerks and chief pay clerks under thirty-five may take the examination for appointments as assistant paymaster in the navy. This examination is usually held each year and is com peti'ive. May Enter Academy. The law provides for the appointment each year of 100 enlisted men to the Naval academy, the requirements being that the applicant must pass a competitive examination, must be under twenty at the time of appointment and must have been in the navy jit least one vear at date of entrance to the Naval academy. In order to give young men a chance to prepare for this examination classes are formed at all the training stations and on board ships, with special instructors and the free use of the necessary text books. ; Retiring from the service a chief petty officer may enter the reserve force, where he receives an annual retainer. Should he be called into active service he is then paid in addition to his retainer the base pay of the regular navy for active duty, and if on recruiting duty he will receive $2 a day or $60 a month for subsistence. Thus, if a man had retired after 20 years ana was caneu duck iie cuuiu draw $65 retainer, $105 regular and SCO subsistence, making a total of $220, which Is more than a junior lieutenant's pay and nearly equal to that of a full lieutenant or a captain in the army.

A sweeping order that supplies ol! sugar to manufacturers of candy, sirup and other "luxuries" must be curtailed, if not entirely stopped, until January, when the new Cuban sugar >. will be available, has been issued by , Herbert C. Hoover, the food administrator. Reports were received from New York and other large cities that, as a J result of the sugar famine consumers ' were offering 25 cents a pound for < sugar. Mr. Hoover asserted that such i individuals and the retailers accepting ] such offers were forgetting the best in- t terests of the United States. Hoarders of sugar, it was pointed out, were ! hampering the war program. Attention has been called by the 1 food administration to the fact that 1 the shortage will be only temporary j and that conservation will make it possible to handle the situation without ^ nnnifn fin X't!U liCliig LliC pci IU vvuuuu.rv.v? to anything like that in England or ! France. The food administration is 1 convinced that consumers will meet 1 the situation patriotically and that the < rapacious buyers are relatively few. Retail dealers who endeavor to make large profits because of the temporary shortage, will be carefully watched. Mr. Hoover is confident that no real ' sugar crisis will occur. < ( HEAVIER "PLANES" DAY HERE 1 U. S.

Drastic new regulations for the. draft. making practically every one of the mere than 0,000,000 registered men subject to war duty, even if not at the front, then behind the lines, have been approved by the president and made public by Provost .Marshal General Crowder. Affecting more than 9,000,000 homes the regulations mobilize the war strength of the country on a point where only a word is necessary d u? .o a man irom ms uesK or piougii or work bench and put him in a trench or armored motor car or muritin-s factory or shipbuilding plant. Here are some of the radical new provisions which give teeth to the revised rules; Can Revoke Exemptions. 1. Secretary of war Baker is given authority to revoke any exemptions, or disregard at any time the deferred classification and orler of ccv of any registered man, if that man's special trade or qualifications makes ; him necessary for special service. Thus if the army finds itself facing a sudden need for 26,000 chauffeurs, Secretary Baker is authorized to di-, rect local hoards to get the nuifther of chauffeurs, no matter where they stand in order of call. The new questionaires which all registered men must answer will afford the local boards knowledge of their trades, so it will be only a matter of looking r>war +V10 lic+ and ni r.lrin Ollt rhauf- ! feurs. The same applies to any other j trade or profession, need for experts : in which arises in any army branch. | The only exception to the rule is that j if a man is given deferred classification ; because cf dependents he may not '03 1 1 1 drawn in advance of his classification ; 1 and order number.
