War and Its Relation to Cotton
Secretary Houston made a speech
in Columbia last week during which
he contended that if the United
States had not gone into the war, we
would be facing a condition in ihe
cotton markets with which the panicky
times of 1914 would not compare.
The United States, he sail,
entered the war to keep the power
of V russianism from ruling the
world, both on land and on sea. By
the logical process of destruction he
argued that if the United States had
permitted Germany to have its way.
to have put an end to high sea shipping,
for instance, then the cotton
planters of the South would have
had on their hands now five or six
million bales of cotton which could
not have been transported upon the
high seas. Of course, the deeper
motives America possessed in entering
the war were far removed
from those of a mercenary kind, but
oo tuu vuiuiiiuiit oiaie auimraoiy
sajra: "Whoever then shall say that
the United States was wrong in going:
into this war declares that the
Southern farmers should have gone
into voluntary bankruptcy for the
sake of peace. The reasons for ac-,
cepting the German challenge were J
infinitely higher and better than this
one of the right to produce cotton
and sell it elsewhere, but it alone
would have justified our war of selfdefense.

We need men on the stump inj
South Carolina this year who will
stir the fire of patriotism that is
smouldering in the hearts of many
of our people. Senator Tillman says
he is not going t?> make any speeches
but will stay at his post in Washington.
He may be needed in Washington
more than in South Carolina.
Hut we need somebody who can
reach and enthuse the people of this
state as to the dango- of German

u v k.... .. :'r ..i better qualified
for this task than J. W. Ilagsdale.
We believe that all who heard
him at the farmers' picnic at Dyer's
Hill last summer will agree with us.
He can kindle the patriotism of the
state into ? roaring fire, if anybody
can. He would leave no standing
room in this state for a LaFollette or
a Tom Watson.
We believe Kagsdale would stand
a good chance of being elected to the
United States senate. But, whether
elected or defeated, if he should

Food Administration Outline;
Policy to Meet Desperate
Food Situation.
The National Food Administration la
anxious to impress the message o:
ui.servaiion io me uimosi. rne people
of the country at large do not up :r*c?-iate
the demand for wheat. The
'cod Administration at Washington ,
;ias stressed the situation in this na- (
nil wide proclamation:
"If we are to furnish the allins with
the necessary proportion of wheat to i
: aintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and this Is a j
military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to twentyone
million bushels a month as against
our normal consumption of about forty-two
million bushels or fifty per cent
of our normal consumption, reserving j
a margin for distribution to the army !
and for special cases, leaves for gen- j
eral consumption approximately one j
and one-half pounds of wheat products j
weekly per person. Many of our cua- '
tomers are dependent upon bakers' j
bread, such bread must be durable. \
and therefore requires a larger pro ."
portion of wheat products than cereals :
baked In the household. Our army ] <j
and navy requires a full allowance, j
The well to do in our population can .
make greater sacrifices in the con- j
sumption of wheat products than can |

lngs of wheat, we are wholly deopnd- ||
ent upon the voluntary assistance of |
the American people, and we do ask J
that the following rules he observed: |
"First, householders to use not to ;
exceed a total of one and one-half ?
pounds par week of wheat products z
p? ~-.yn.Thi8 meant not more than 5
one and three-fourths pounds of Vic- <?
tory bread containing the required ?
percentage of substitutes and about S
O"" half pound of cooking flour, macn- ^
roni. crackers, pastry, pies, cakes. U>
wheat breakfast cereals all com- 5
bined. jj
"Second, publfc eating houses and |
clubs to observe two wheatless days |
per week. Monday and Wednesday, as %
at present. In addition thereto not to |
serve in the aggregate total of more ?
breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pas
try, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast ce- |
reals, containing a total of more than <|
two ounces or wheat flour to any one 5
guest at any one meal. No wheat <5
products to be served unless espe- ?
clally ordered. Public eating estab- 9
llshments not to buy more than six ?
pounds of wheat products per month ?
per guest thus conforming with 11m- 3
ltatlons requested of the house- *
holders.
"Third, retailers to sell not more 9
than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to
any town customer at any one time j
and not mora than one-quarter of a
barrel to any country customer at anv
one time, and tn no er.se te sell when*
products without sale of an equal
we'ght of other cereals.
"Fourth, we ask the bakers and grocers
to reduce the volume of Victory
bread sold, by delivery of the threequarter
pound loai where one pound i
was sold heretofore, and corresponding
proportions in other weights. We
also ask bakers not to increase the
amount of their wheat flour purchased
bevcnd seventy per cent of the
kverage monthly a.vonnt purchased in
the four months prior to March first

USE MORE !R!3H POTATOES !
In Order That They Will Not Over,
lap New Crop.
Columbia.?South Carolina can help
ery materially now in the conservation
of wheat by using Iriah potatoes. J
The produce people report to the food
administration at Columbia that there
pre unusual quantities of excellent
Irish potatoes on hand in this state
frrr ImniKillit* na*
?It
is important that these Irish potatoes
be used so that they will not overlap
iato the now crop, and because
they a^ ?be best available substitute
for wheat.
Potatoes are universally liked The
food administration has been assured
that Irish potatooe can be bought at
vary reasonable prices from all local
markets. and if they cannot be had the
food administrator at Columbia would
be please dto be advised so that any
deficient market can be supplied
Potatoes are an acceptable substitute
for bread A pound of baked |
potatoes is equal in nntritive value to
even ounces of bread. Use the perishable
potato as a wheat and as a
breed substitute In the present food
| oriels all cereals are precious; the*
will keep and the potatoes won't.
