GERMANY NEEDING FOO DFOR PEOPLE Paris, Nov. 14.-Germany must find some way of getting 800,000, 000,000 marks worth of grain to feed her people dlurin gthe next year, the reparations commission learned in its investigation in Ber lini. As this amount is aibout double the present total of praper money in circulation in Germany, purchase of the grain is (deemed impossible, except through speedy financial rehabilitation of the country or food credlits from abroadl. It seems to b~e generally taken for granted that both the credlits andl the food wvouldl have to come from America. The 800,000,000,000 marks repre sents G;er~many's import require nmentsg for the next twelve months of 2,000O,000 tons of grain, the mini nmum amount thought necessary to prevent starvation. Any attempt to buy this cereal in a foreign market wouldl, in the opinion of experts, cause a complete colaipse of the mark, with a serious reaetion in the exchange o fthe other Euro.. pean countries.

Manning was officially invited to put her splendid school in this parade but Messrs. Reardon and Williams say that the invitation has never even been replied to. They want the Man ning school and all Clarendon county schools to participate in this parade. It is not too late even now for Clar endon county schools to enter-in fact they don't have to enter under any Yet t' e-just go to Sumter and places 11 be provided for them in this big educational event. Hundreds of beau tiful floats and decorated cars wil) be in this pageant of irogress.

The musi cal program by the famous Royn.l Scotch Highlanders dressed in their picturesque Scotch kilties will be' the highedt class attraction presented in South Carolina this season. Mr. Reardon said, and Mr. Williams endorsed his statement-that his de partment of amusements and publicity is spending more money for the fair association this year than any fair in South Carolina, not even excepting the South Carolina State Fair-and Mr. Williams said that unless Rear don pulled a big crowd this fair, Reardon would be in Manning look ing for a job by Deceiber ist, 1922.' Manning and Clarendon county are urged to attend Sumter County's 1922 county fair-even if the schools are not there. However every ' white school pupil and teacher in Clarendon county wvill be admitted absolutely free to the fair grounds on county school day, Friday, November 24th, whether participating in the big paradle or not.
