Now tire raiders have crossed the

were sent to sink transports, but here
again they failed. Blocked off from
the troop ships by convoying craft,
they have turned in fury against de
fenseless coasters. In all the record
nf tlest nation they have written the
raiding party has struck at no vessel
lioiuid overseas, ami therefore armed
for ;i light. Only ships that could not*

only one of a half score of vessels

Why Tolerate
a Hot Kitchen?
Use a New Perfection Oil Cook Stove. It will do your cook
ing perfectly, give you a cool kitchen ? and free you from the
dirt, work and discomfort, from coal, wood, ashes and smut
The long\bliie chimney gets every atom of heat out of the
kerosene and concentrates it directly on the cooking utensil
or oven.
The New Perfection lights like gas and can be instantly and accu
rately regulated for any cooking need. It bakes, broils, roasts, boils
or toasts to perfection ? with no smoke, smell or dirt. And it keeps
the^citchen cool.

the present crisis in the wheat situa
tion has passed.
Wheat must now be considered, noi
In terms of dollars and cents, says th< ?
Pood Administration, but only In Hi
relation to human life.
Before the next wheat crop is avail
able there remains mora than two
months in which America Is required
to feed her own people and to con*
tlnue exports of flour to the lighting
front and to feed the people of the
allied countries.
? The Food Administration asks ev
ery person in South Carolina who can
do so to abstain fr6m the use of wheat
flour in any form until the next har
vest.
SWEET POTATOE8
A8 ARMY RATION
"""
Big Market Opened to farmers of
South Carolina as Sweet Potatoes
Will Be Bought by Camp Quarter
masters.
Columbia.? The Conservation and
Production division of the Food Ad
ministration at Columbia has been
advised by the Acting Quartermaster
General of the Army at Washington
that sweet potatoes kre now a substi
tute component of the Army ration,
and can be used in place of white
potatoes. - Last fall a considerable
quantity of sweet potatoes were pur
chased by the Camp Quartermaster,
?specially for South camps, and ths
purchase of sweet potatoes will very
likely be made on a larger scale this
year.
This opens up a new and ready
market for sweet potatoes. It is sug
gested. in the lettei received by the
Food Administration, that growers of
sweet potatoes In South Carolina com
municate direct with the Camp Quar
termaster o t the camps located In this
and neafby States and offec sweet
potatoes at the lowest price per hun
dredweight. ? - ? .
Sweet potatoes sold for Army ra
tion must be sacked and delivered at
camps in car load lots, and prices
named should be only for potatoes in
such quantities and delivered, freight
prepaid. _
PLENTY CANS AND JARS
TO PUT UP PERISHABLES
Food Administration Gives Assurance
pf Ample 8upply for Forthcom
ing Canning Season.
Columbia. ? Assurance is give^i the
people of South- Carolina by thje Con
servation and Production division of
the Food Administration that not I
only will there be tin cans in suffi
cient quantity for canning during the
forthcoming season, but that an ample
supply of glass Jars wljl also be avail
able. It is also assured that water
glass* may be secured by all who de
sire to put up eggs for winter use.
Any locality that may be short on
any of these necessaries for canning
and preserving fruits and "vegetables
and for putting up eggs will be put in
touch with sources of supply if inter
ested persons will write the Food Ad
ministration at Columbia.
Jobbers and wholesalers in several
of the larger cities of the Stat* have
laid in ample stocks of tins aid glass
jars, and the list of these Is on file
with the Food Administration. The
drug stores in the smaller towns may
secure water glass for the retail trade
from the wholesale drug honn?e, or
if they cannot supply then, a Utter
addressed to the Food Administration
at Columbia will solve the problaaa.
Announcement has already been
made that ample sugar will be a rail
able, to be secured on a certificate sys
tem, for canning and preserving.
ODD FELLOWS ASKED TO
GIVE UP EATING WHEAT
Columbia. ? Lodges of Odd Fellnws
throughout South Carolina and the
individual members of this great or
ganisation have been called upon by
the officers of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge for support of the program of
the Food Administration to save,
wheat. All Odd Fellows are urged
through the Sovereign Grand Lodge
to volvatarlly abstain from the use of
wheat foods until after the next har
vest. There are In the United Statep
about S.SOO.OOO Odd '?? Fellows. The
membership of this order in South
Carolina Is very large, and there will
no doubt be a generous and a patri
otic response to the appeal to save
wheat to help feed the fighting forces
of America and the allies and the
people of the allied countries
