Small Towns Set Pace.
It will not be the big cities,
that will get the credit for ]
"putting over" the third Liberty * ]
Loan. The big cities are doing <
their part, to be sure, but it is (
the smaller cities and towns and j ]
the country districts that are
setting the pace in this cam- <
paign. The agricultural State \
of Iowa was the first to fill its |
minimum quota. From other ]
States have continued to come
hundreds of reports of towns

right to flv the honor flag awarded
by the treasury department
to the communities that have
reached their quotas.
The great publicity campaign j
that has been carried on by the j
country press is without question i
chiefly responsible for the show- j
ing that has been made by the
smaller cities and towns and the
country districts. It is not that
the people outside the large
cities are any more patriotic now
than they were when the first
two Liberty bond campaigns
were on. but that the appeal fori
subscriptions is being placed
before them now in a way that
was impossible in the earlier
campaigns. The country press
did all that it could do. also, in
the earlier drives, but the lack
of an organized publicity cam
paign such as was provided in i;
the big cities prevented the
efforts of the newspapers from <
getting the results that are be- i
ing obtained in this drive. <
Profiteering in Peanuts. !
Scarce anything seems to have 5
advanced so much in price as J
the once humble but now ex-1'
a I ted "goober."
Twentv-five vears airoa "bair" 1
of peanuts ordinarily held a pint. '
Since then it has had a tendency '
to shrink. But of late the
shrinkage has been processing {
so rapidly as to excite alarm. j ]
Buy a bag tomorrow; count ,
them, and you will find that you |
have, in return for a perfectly j
good nickel, ahout twenty-five <
peanuts. There may be no more (
than twenty. t
Kive peanuts for a cent are i
not enough. A cent for four is I (
a swindle. The only thing to do (
is to quit buying peanuts until (
the price comes down.
The acreage planted with pea-,
nuts in this country is increasing
enormously year by year. There J
is no reason or excuse for such i
an advance in price. Manifestly i
me wnoiesalers are profiteering c
and the retailers are getting i
their "bite." t
Peanuts in the shell, at the I
present retail price, cost about t
five times as much as bread, J >
weight for weight. And at that' >
they are usually of an inferior *
grade. . . "

NO REASON FOR HIGH
PRICE OHMS
Information For Dealers.Who
Will Apply To The Food
Administration.
Columbia.?It there la in South Carolina
any community whore prices of
Irish potatoes have not decreased to
a level which places this food within
the reach of all. by reason of the fact
that food dealers have not been able
to secure potatoes at a wholesale price
which will permit of selling them at
lower retail prices, the Food Administration
is In position to inform such
dealers where potatoes can be secured
at prices comparable with the surplus
stock In South Carolina at the
present time. A letter or postal addressed
to the Food Administration at
uoiumDia win bring this information
to anyone inquiring.
Potatoes are the most plentiful and
economical food that consumers can
buy at the present time.
SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS ARE
HELPING FEED THE WORLD
I Splendid Work of Corn and Pig Club
Beys Forms Big Contribution
to Food Supply.
Columbia.?The report of L. L. Baker,
Supervising Agent of Boys' Club
Work in South Carolina, recently
made to Dr. W. W. Long, Director of
Extension Work in this State, a copy
of which has been received by the
Food Administration, illustrates in a
most forcible and convincing manner
how farmer boys can, on their own
responsibility, aid materially in the
production and conservation of food
at this critical time In the world's
history when the crying demand of a
hungry, fighting world is for more
and more food. At the same time, the
[ boys are earning money with which
to buy Liberty Bonds, thus helping in
! a double-barreled manner to help win
the war.
Members of the Corn Club in South
Carolina produced last year 26.813.21
bushels of corn at an average cost of
forty cents a bushel, the average yield
being flfty-three bushels to the acre.
Figuring corn at $2.00 per bushel,
whtch is conservative, the total net
profit was $42,689.47. The total net
profit resulting from the Boys' Pig
Club in the State was $13,998.01. The
total net profits of South Carolina
farmer boys in these two projects for
the year was $56,687.48.
There Is an effort being made to
more than double the membership of
the Corn and Pig Clubs during present
year. Last year there were 1056
boys enrolled in Corn Club Work, of
whom, however, only 501 reported;
and 1,250 boys enrolled in Pig Clubs,
of whom only 856 reported.
To assure the success of the Corn
and Pig Club work in South Carolina,
the co-operation, encouragement and
support of the public-spirited citizens
is necessary. For instance, last year
a number of bankers in different parts
n/ (h> Ql Vw 1
and In thin way thousands of dollara'
worth of pure brad pigs were brought
Into the State, very materially adding
to the breeding stock of hogs. One
of the greatest difficulties has been
encountered in supplying the boys
with pigs. This splendid work of the
farmer boys of South Carolina has
formed a big contribution to the food
supply of the country, and it is a
work which offers opportunity tor
many public-spirited people to lend
their aid. There will be more Pig
Club boys this year if the pigs to supply
them are offered?or the money
with which to buy pigs?and L. L.
Baker. Supervising Agent of Boys*
Club Work. Bishopvllle, S. C.. who Is
in charge of the work in this State,
will be glad to hear from any <Me who
will aid the farmer boys in their effort
In greater production of food. Offers
addressed to the Chairman Of Conservation
of the Food Administration
for South Carolina. Columbia, will be
forwarded to Mr..Baker.

Secretary McAdoo Says It Doeent

People Eat Nowaday*.
Columbia.?In the course of h*s address,
launching the third Liberty
Loan In South Carolina. William MrAdoo.
Secretary of the Treasury. called
attention In his Columbia speech
to the great shortage of food, and said:
"The greatest thing needed Is
wheat. We are all eating strange
breads composed of elements which a
short time ago no American ever
dreamed of. But what does It matter?
For my part. I'd become a clay-eater
to lick the kaiser. Save food. Save
for our Allies. You won't save unless
you'economise. Economize and
you not only save food, but you also
save money which you r.au put into
the Liberty Loans and thus help win
the war In two ways."
PLANT SWEET POTATOES.
Colnmhia.?As one way to assure a
food supplv for next winter, the United
States Food Administration Is urging
tTia farmers of South Carolina to
