If a person will take the trouble to look around a bit he wilt have to ask himself the question, " * re we ut uenje aoing our partT" we don't know bow it is in other sections of i the country but if outward appearances are to be taken as an indication we can truthfully say that many peraou in this section are spending more for luxuries than at any other time in the history of their lives. There is too much extravagance? too much spending for unnecessary . things?things that we could do Without and things that call for more and more unnecessary expenditures. The government needs this money we are squandering. It needs the ~4oUa we are having made into unecessary garments; it needs the *d we are burdening our tables \x.

It is not surprising that Holland should protest so vigorously against the taking over of her ships by the Allies. Holland, while professing to be a neutral, has been doing everything in her power to aid the Central Powers by selling them food stuffs bought in North arid South America, and the taking over of her ships means that she will lose the Mg profits she has been making on Ar\w?r\A?ia ?i?

But still the Hollanders are indignant and one of their leading journals is Quoted as saying: "We shall have to actuiesce but such rough disuse ol power will not be forgotten by our people." Another jpurnal goes still farther and asks, "Will it (the government) request the ministers of these piratical p' vers to pack their r lerred since the Njliilil ot tk?| r war. These countries havt seen wh*t Germany has done to Belgium, Ser-( 51 bia, Rumania and Russia and they , know what Germany would do to them if the German army is victorious.

This \ could have been done and the war might have been brought to a victorious end a year or more ago, but the Allies could not invade neutral 1 territory without repudiating the' principles to which they ^pledged' themseives in the beginning of this war, and thus Norway, Sweeden and particularly Holland have been Spared at a irrA*t mkfHIao 11 TT?1 ' ?_ M D. wwvi IUW VI UIC. nui" land's protest against the use of her ships?the same ships that have Siren aid to the enemy?and her threat to serer diplomatic relations j with the nations that could hare ( crushed her and. thus brought about an earlier termination of the war? i shows a bad spirit and is not calcu- i lated to add to the cordial relations that hove always existed between the Hollanders and the people of the 1 Allied nations. COUNTRY PRESS AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS Certain interests would like the ] country press to refrain from dis- i | cussing national affairs, saying thai | might as well be left to the big city J I newspapers and the magazines. J ; li souuds logical off hand, but is la michievous idea. Country and small town people think about national affairs, and the < fact that their opinions do not al- ? ways coincide with those of the city I people is sure proof why the small c papers should not lay down on their I task. v The voice of the country and the small town must remain potent. 1 This nation cannot afford to be run _ r by one class of people only. j li JUST AS NECESSARY c a If food is necessary to win the c war it is evident that farmers and " their helpers are just as necessary as 1 am 111 uiiiuon workers and ship me- ^ chanics. , I< An ammunition worker is left at f the job, however; so is a ship mechanic, while the skilled farmer's c sons and helpers are drafted. c It is rather difficult to see the v logic of this arrangement.

Why Preserve. During the spring t land early summer, when eggs are i abundant and reasonable in price, at-:< tention should be given to preserv- i ing them for winter use. Fresh eggs j i properly preserved may be kept for;1 eight to twelve months in excellent [> condition and used with good re-1 suits. J] A Good Method and Cost. A good method for the preservation of eggs Is by the use of codlum silicate, or. water glass. The present price of sodium cilicate is about 30 cents perj pint, and at this ^price eggs may be preserved at a cost of approximately j 4 cent per dozen. It is not desir1 able to use the water glass solution a second time. Time to Preserve., Eggs laid during April, .May, and early June have been found to keep better than those ! laid later in the season. Kind Of Eggs to Preserve If ?oi isfuctory results are to be obtained, the eggs should be Fresh and Clean. Eggs that float when placed In the I solution are not fresh and therefore cannot be preserved. When only slightly soiled, a cloth dampened 1 with vinegar can be used to remove . such stains. Under no circum-J . stances should badly soiled eggs be , used for preserving; if put into the; jar while dirty they will spoil, and washing removes a protective coat-! ing which prevents spoiling. Water Glass Method. Use one I quart of sodium silicate to nine ' quart.? '"f water that has been boiled mounts of ggfi. lint. MM In irtlw stock ftftd clean it thatmllf, ftftor wliil It should be scftlded ftftd allowed to dry. Second. Heat ft quantity of water to the boiling point, ftftd allow tt to cool. j Third. When cool, measure but 1 Quarts of water, place it la the crock, and add one quart of sodium silicate, stirring the mixture thoroughly. Fourth. The egga shoul be placed in the solution. If sufficient eggs are not obtainable when the solution is first made, additional eggs may be added from time to time. Be very careful to ellsw at least 2 inches of the solution to cover the err? at all times. Fifth. Place the crock containing the preserved eggs In a cool dry place, well covered to prevent evaporation. Waxed paper covered over and tied around the top of the crock will answer this purpose. Using Preserved Eggs. Freeh, clean eggs, properly preserved can he used satisfactorily for alt purposes in cooking and for the table. When boiling preserved eggs, a small hole should be made In the sheel with a pin at the large end before placing them in the water. This is done to allow the air in the egg to escape when heated so as to prevent cracking. o Notice to Red Cross Workers.

Only sweaters and socks are needed low, so all of this wool will be used for these two articles. work will be given out Friday and Saturday afternoons?room open icy?aftcr on Saturday afternoons, >y special request ol workers, in the :ountry and school teachers whose >est chance to get to town is? on Satirday.

It is to be noted that within the last few weeks there haae been a decrease in the price of eighteen articles of food. The moBt noticeable being in fhe price of eggs, potatoes, wheat flour, oat meal and canned goods. This, however, does not apply altogether to South Carolina. The National Food Administration in its comment -makes note of the f^ct that potatoes are higher in South Carolina than they are in any other State from which quotations were received. use ui smt interest to his descend- j ints," observes a writer In London nt-Bits.

Ilctail Price deport The Food Administration has hown results. For the wek ending February 23, 1918 a general survey; ias been made by the food adminis-j ration at Washington on prevailing i jrices of many products. This re-1 >ort is made up from one thousand J hree hundred and seventy one cities! and the data is derived both from! he retailer and the consumer. * It is gratifying to know that tire, retailers in South Carolina are* not j rxhorbiiaut in their charges, and j they are in some instances below thei average for the United States as a! whole. For the week ending February 23 corn meal, rice and poultry! was sold slightly under?the average! prices that prevailed throughout the' Lniteu States. In the matter of j flour, bread, canned goods and par-' ticularly milk average retail prices for South Carolina were high-j er than those throughout the country at large. I While milk was selling in South Carolina at an average of seventeen ] cents per quart, the average price throughout the country at large was only twelve cents, but it is some-] what reconcilihg to know that eggs sold at an average of forty-five cents per dozen in South Carolina while throughout the Uni?ed States they were selling at flftv-flvp c#?n?o rw?? ?d WftiiilwH mtkftUr VH thai 1 to la rmUmale, Nto Mexico.
