If a person will take the trouble to
look around a bit he wilt have to ask
himself the question, " * re we ut

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. We wonder how many men in
county cleaned up the winter

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

the ships and they have obligated
themselves to pay Holland a fancy
price for the use of the vessels. 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

Germany has done to Belgium, Ser-(

them if the German army is victorious.

Germany so ruthlessly brushed aside j
that has kept the Allies from cross-!
ing their frontiers and cutting off,
the Berlin line of communication'
with the German western front. 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

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. I e
Many a man is radical Ln his ideus;
intil he attains some responsibility, I
vheu he becomes conservative. | J
Nothing like responsibility to cool _
i man off.

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.

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.

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
