All honor tQ the noble women
who have come forward in this
crisis and offered their help?
some to nurse, others to furnish
meals for households that are
stricken and are without servants,
and still others as they
are needed. The activities of
our women is most positive proof
of their patriotism and love for
humanity, and this lati st service
they have rendered will rise as a
further memorial to their snirii
of self-sacrifice and devotion to
duty.
Reports from the town and
township indicate that there has
been some improvement in the

so numerous as formerly.
Many of those who were ill of
the disease some days ago are
out again and, so far as The

few in the town or township who
are now seriously sick.

President Wilso n last night
answered Germany's latest note
regardi ng peace. __ In brief, h'e
informs Germany that the only
armistice he would feel justified
in submitting for consideration
to the allied governments would
be one which would leave the
United States and the allied
powers in a position to enforce
any arrangements that may be
entered into and to make a rerenewal
of hostilities on the part
of Germany impossible.

Food Administration Protects Farmers
by Forbidding Dealers in Wheat
Mill Feeds to Charge More Than a
Fixed Margin of Profit.
Columbia.?Retail dealers of wheat
mill feeds, rice polish, rice bran, dried
beet pulp and cotton seed products in
South Carolina have been notified by the
Food Administration that no more
than a reasonable advance over the
delivered price of any particular feeds
sold shall be charged, under Rule 1 of
Special License Regulations. No. 25, :
which became effective Oclober 1.
Under these rules, the Food Admin- :
istration announces margins in excess
of the following schedule in case of j
mill feeds, rice feeds and dried beet
pulp, will be considered excessive. The
schedules given are maximum, and do
not justify charges in excess of this
customarily charged in any particular ;
district or case where the lower
charges will insure a reasonable
profit.
"1. Where one or more farmers purchase
in advance of delivery In full
carloads, take delivery at car and pay
cash when retail dealer is required to j
meet sight draft, 51.00 per ton, plus
demurrage If any.
"2. Wher^ one or more farmers purchase

demurrage, if any.
"3. Where farmer purchases and |
takes delivery at car and pays for It
on delivery in ton lots or more, but
less than car lots, $2.00 per ton.
"4. Whore farmer purchases and j
takes delivery at car and paye for it
on delivery in lots less than one ton, i
$2 50 per ton.
"5 Sale ex-warehouse in lots of one
ton or more, $4.00 per ton.
"6. Sale ex warehouse in lots of less
than one ton. $5.00 per ton.
"7. One dollar may be added to the
foregoing margins when sale is made
on credit, or at dealer's option the
legal rate of interest may be charged. |
"8. Ono dollar shall be deducted
from the margUna prescribed in 5 and
G when the retailer buys on credit and
the Jobber's margin la thereby increased
$1.00 per ton."
The above margins will also agply
to the sale of cotton seed meal cake
and hulls by retail feed dealers, except
where different margins have
been prescribed by the Food Administrator
for the State.
"The United States Food Adminle- ?
tration considers that in scales of
feeding stuffs at retail the advance
on any individual sale should not in
any case exceed the purchase price
delivered at warehouse door, plus 15
per cent. Where delivery 1s made to
the consumer, reasonable cartage
charges may be added. The Food 'Administration
will, therefore, consider
any sale of feeding staffs in excess of
i this advance as a violation. This
margin also applies to the sala of corxx
oats, rye, or barley at retail as feed,
but not to wheat mill feeds, cotton
seed products, rice products, or dried
beet pulp, for which special margin*
are prescribed by the above rula."
