PRISONER OF WAR HAS RETURNED Yorkville Boy Tells of His Experience in Germany, and of U-Boat Activities. Yorkville, July 14.-Jomes Moore, 18-year-old son of Mr. W. T. Moore, of this place, arrived in Yorkville Wednesday morning, after an absence of three and a half years, during which time he has traveled over much of the world and had some very thrill ing and interesting experiences. He came to Yorkville direct from Berlin, Germany, where he had been for three months or more a prisoner of the Teutons, having been picked up at sea on February 8 by a submarine after the sub had torpedoed the ves sel he was on, the Norwegian freight ed Storskog. Young Moore left Yorkville three and a half years ago, having been thoroughly inoculated with wanderlust serum. He was quite a boy, and his first stop was at Winston-Salem, N. C., where he worked fo rseveral weeks in a tobacco factory. Then he moved over to City Point, Va., and from there went to Norfolk. There was much de mand for seamen at that port, and he applied for a job and was signed on a vessel loaded with grain for France as an able seaman, though he didn't know anything wvorthi mentioning about a ship. He had the nerve, howv ever, to carry him across, and if the ofricers of the vessel ever knew that he was anything else than what he claimed, they didn't say anything about it. Since that time he has traveledl over a big portion of the world as a sailor in the merchant ma rine service of Great Britain, where he is rated as an able seaman and gunner, andl has twvo more years to complete his enlistment.1 IIpcts Gone for Good Results That Last Are What Appeal to Manning People.

DASTO WA or Infants and Ohildren. Mothers Know That Genuine Castoria Always Bears the Signature of Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA -THE OENTAUR OOMP NY. NEW YOK OITV, to leave Yorkville next Monday to re turn to England. In January young Moore left Bue nos Aires aboard the Storskog, an 11,000-ton freighter, for Queenstown with wheat. On the morning of Feb ruary 8, about 11. o'clock, when 20 miles off the coast of England, a tor pedo struck the forward part of the ship and everybody% made a rush for the six lifeboats. Three of these were smashed in the launching, and the three that remained were crowded with the 65 members of the crew. While the three lifeboats were pad dling around in the vicinity of the sinking vessel, one after another were sunk by gunfire, and as Moore was in the last to be smashed he found himself in the water holding on to the rudder of one of the lifeboats. Shortly afterward he, with six others, was pulled on board the submarine, and the seven were kept on board the U-boat until March 3, being held in the torpedo room of the sub under a continuous guard of two sailors. Dur ing most of the time that the party was on the sub the vessel was cruis ing around on top of the sea, and while young Moore was on the sub 11 more vessels- fell victims to its torpedoes and gunfire, but no more prisoners were taken on board. On March 3 he was landed at Hl goland, and from there was taken to Wilhelmshaven and thence to Berlin, where he wvas held as a prisoner until June 13. Young Moore, tells some in teresting stories of his experiences in Berlin. Hie was not kept in confine ment but was allowved to go pretty much as he pleased, but had to rep~ort to the police at stated intervals, and at* night wvas locked in his room at 10 o'clock. Moore said he got two meals a (lay while in Germ-.ny; theat he had a food cardi entitling him to einner and supper. Hei could have had breakfast bu twould have had to do without either (dinner or supper. Tur.. nips wecre his principal dliet, cooked in water without meat or grease. Fifty gnaimmes of butter wvere allow ed h1im in a deck, andl 200 grammes of meat. There was no tea or coiree. Boer and cigarettes are plentiful. He lost some 30 pbundls in weight while the Germans were feeding him, w as hungry all the time, and he has been trying to catch r~p on the -feed synei he arrived in America. Mr. Moore doesn't tell how he man agedl to get awvay from Germany. Hr says he can't tell that. He was re.. leased on June 13, and a wvealthy American who resideos in Berlin fur nished him the money with which to conmc home. From Berlin young Moore made his way to Christiansaund, Norway, and from there came to an American port on board the Daih! passenger boat Prince Oscar HI. Jimmie said he saw Kaiser Wilhel'a on two occasions while in Berlin, b.t as Bill didn't pay any attention to him, why, of course, he aidn't put himself to any particular trouble to shake hands with Bill. "The German people don't seem to recognize the fact that the United States Is in the war against them," he said. "They dion't conslier this country at all seriously, and they have little or no feeling against Ameri.. cans. Soldiers returning from the battle lines aye not allowed to- talk and the peopl6 really know very lit tle about how thnira a goin. The expect to vin, ptfcorse, as all nations do when they are at war. The people. are pretty cheerful over the situation. "Ydu bet it _i good to get- back to a country where' there is plenty to eat," continued Mr. Moore. "That Stuff about there being plenty to eat in Germany is all stuff. There is no body in Berlin but women, and they don't talk about war. What they are talking about and thinking about is something to eat." Jimmie says he is going back to the British merchant marine, and as soon as he can get out of that he is going to enlist in the United States navy which, he says, is the finest body of men in the world. , o BIG GAS AND "JUICE" DEAL Yadkin River Power Co.

Germany, in this one essential, was not prepared for the war, the experts maintain. She had not a sufficient stock of torpedoes; she expended too much in her land operations; she made great sacrifices of her torpedo supply to gratify the folly of the crown prince in his vain efforts to take the fortresses of Verdun. 0 MARKETING CANTALOUPES Packages. Clemson College, S. C., July 16. The crate generally used for can taloupes is made of two heads or ends, 12 inches square, and 12 slats 22 1-2 to 23 inches long, according to the type of heads usedl. It is known as the "standairdl" cantaloupe crate, being the one in which the bulk of the crop is shipped from California, Newv Mexico, Florida, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas, Deleware, Maryland, and several other states. TIhe wvestern "jumbo" crates mleasur~es 13 x 13x 23 1-2 inches and the "pony" crates 11 x 11 by 23 1-2 inches. The pony and jumbo crate are used miuch less than the standalirds. In seaso'ns of heavy prodluction, the small melons packed in the pony crates often can not be shipped proltably, wvhile many sections are finding it nmere desireable to pack their jumbo melons in the standardl crates.

There seems to be no uniform and specific grading rules in use in cantaloupe-shipping sections, an das a result the troubls Which aris from the lack of standardization are apparent. It would be advisable for shippers in each section to agree on the standards of quality and the grading rules to be observed. These should be printed on large cards to be furnished to all persons connected with the harvesting, grading and packing operations and should be posted in conspicuous places about the packing houses. In sonic of the more carefully man aged packing houses, sorters, or the packers acting in that capacity, grade a binful of cantaloupes for quality and appearance before the packing is done. Occasionally these graders also grade for size, but it is the gen eral custom in many commercial growing sections for the packer to grade the cantaloupes as he ,packs, throwing out the culls a she finds them and picking out melons of the size that he wants to use. This is not the method employed in the most successful packing of other highly perishable products and it doubtless 'is a poor one to use in packing can taloupes. Even though no uniform grading rules are observed, growers in any section who desire to place-their stock on the market in good salable condi tion, should see to it that all poorly netted melons, commonly known as "slickers" are thrown out, as well as the cracked, ill-shaped, over-ripe, or immature specimens, and those hav ing soft ends. Mellons which have been cut or bruised by sticks, nails, or stones should be discarded as they are likely to spoil before reaching the consumer. Only first class, merchant C. L.
