Why is it that the sales of the?e tires are constantly mounting by leaps and bounds? The answer is found in the fac tories where United States Tires are liiade.

We commend the foprnian and the supervisor for their spirit, of co-op eration with us in our efforts to better -rotidition* nn the gang; In order that tl\e foreman limy still further increase his score, we reeom inend that he have the blankets in use washed regularly once u month, and of tener when the prisoner using them , lea vex, thus enabling him to give each new eon Viet clean blankets upon Which to .bleep : that ho have a pit dug at each camp, at least lot) yards 'from camp aud 1(H) yards from the water supply, and Into this pit dump the soil buckets daily, covering the local matter each day with three inches of earth, and burn ing this pit^out weekly with sltuw and oil; that the manure, from the ipule pen. be piled in a pen daily, and hauled away from camp weekly; ami that the barrel used for kitchen waste be kept covered tightly always. Putting these recommendations into off eel will greatly .diminish the number of flies at camp. There were great numbers around the kitchen when we visited the place. Fin ally. we recommend that the foreman release the convicts from their sleeping quarters on# Sundays and holidays, al lowing them the freedom of the. camp ground, under ? proper guard, of course. . We recommend that the supervisor "iind Commissioners employ a ''doctor on a salary, and require him to make a physical examination* .of?eaCh new con vict within 2,'{ hours of his'confmitnient ? this can lie done at- the jail very con veniently before sending the man to the Kang ? to vacrinate against ' small-pox when indicated, 'and to make' weekly in spections of the convicts' food and quar ters, and especially of (he sanitary ar rangeirtviif* of the camp. ? We recom mend that the Supervisor keep in bis otticc. in a suitable book, a complete ree: ord of 'the cliuingaug population, show ing the name, age, race, date of com mitment. length of sentence* whether a trusty or has a family dependent upon him. date of release, and how released.

The plan ns approved by us is for several counties to join together aud establish homes for the aged poor nnd the sick poor, equipping these homes with proper hospital facilities and buildings for. clas sification of the inmates, and charging the individual jfounties in proportion to the number of inmates from the said county. This plan would do away with a great deal of the overhead expense now met in our ?nuiiity relief work, and by providing for larger numbers in the on<* institution, would enable the individual to be better taken cure of. aad at a| lower per capita cost, than it can be } doue in the separate jotinties. < >n account of the absence of inmates, I and the plan to stop using the alma- | house, we did not score the institution ! tllin \ejir. \fbert S I' din -Ion. d Secretary.^ ' / School Trustees Klfrt*?L/ Westville.

A READY MARKET 1 FOR CAN 1ED GOODS Home Canned Products Will be Given Preference Over Maryland and Virginia Pack by Large Concern*. ' i*"' -y ? - Columbia.-? A r^ady*^ market has been developed In South Carolina (Or all home-canned fruit# and vegetables that will be put up during the com ing canning ?b?ndh in excess of do mestic needs. This announcement has been made by the Conservation and Production Division of the Food Ad ministration, whieh has been * work ing on the problem of marketing of home-canned products for the past two mouths- A number of the lend ing wholesale grocers and Jobbers of the Stale huve not only expressed ?their wlUiugness to buy home-canned fruits and vegetables properly pre pared for commercial use, but will give the home-canned product the preference over Maryland and Vir ginia packed goods. The ?- Pood Administration has on file the requirements of several large concerns and has been asked to And the canned products to supply their needs. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables can be readily sold, but the packers will be required, as a matter of course, to conform to cer tain trade rules. In the first plac4, the price must be in conformity with that for which Maryland and Virginia packed goods can be bought. Canned products should not be of fered foj- the wholesale trade except in large lots. It is suggested that farmers and others who desire to put upfrqits and vegetables for the market form marketing agencies, in ordpr thflt their product may be bandied In 1 arg ot lots to a greater advantage. The grades must be uniform and certain standards maintained. The canned product must of courss be put 1 up in uniform cases, and the cans uni fermly labeled. Contracts for fall deliveries should be made now or in the very near future. Canning clubs, community clubs or marketing agencies with large quan tities of canned fruits and vegetables te offer for sale should write the Food Administration^ Conservation and Pro duction. Dtvlslon, at Columbia, stating what they have to effer at the present time or what they will have to deliver In the fall, stating the price desired and all information. The Food Administration will make no purchases or sales, but It may serve as a connecting link to bring the pack ers and the dealers together. As has already been announced, there will be plenty of cans and jars available for home canners during the coming season. Communities that are not supplied should report to the Food Administration at Columbia, snd mer chant* will be put in touch with, sources of supply upon request. At tractive stock labels can be bought at a very low price. . j Packers of fruits and vegetables should remember that they cannot pect to receive the retail price for their products if sold at whole sale, and those who have only job lots to offer "should seek a market In their home communities. The wholesaler end the Jobber cannot handle job lots. Any Information which may be de sired by any interested person or can ning club will be furnished by the Conservation and Production Division of the Food Administration, Columbia. DANGEROUS RUMOR SHOWN TO BE FALSE Columbia. ? Reports In circulation to the pffect that Food Administration officials had stated ao further con nervation of wheat was necessary have been nailed ns unfouded ln a telegram received by William Elliott. State food administrator, from Herbert Hoover. ".Vo statement of thin character has erer been Issued." says Mr. Hoover, find the federal feod administrator then states frankly the exaot situation which emphasises the absolute neces sity of even greater conservation of wTTeat than the American people have 7e t practiced. For that reason the ap peal was recently made to the1 Amerl ?an people, through the churches, by >fr. Hooter, asking that every one who possibly can do so discontinue ?Ming wheat or wheat products in any form natil the next harvest. It ie stated in Mr, Hoover's tale gram that American supplies of wheat until the next harvest allow a home consumption of not more than ene third of normal, if America is to main tain allied supplies ? that Is, the send ing of wheat to Burope. as this ceun I try Is pledged to do. At the beginning of May. there were In farmers' hands and in storage in America about 15,060,000 bushels ~of wheat, which will have to carry the American people for approximately three months, until the new crop eMrttfe to. America's normal consump tion far three months weuld be It?, 009,000 bushels, not allowing the allle* anything. It can therefore be readily seen that reporta quoting Food Administration offlelaJs aa saying there Is do further need ot wheat saving are simply aa emy pre pa ran da of a very dsngeroos kind. <\tVT HILL HAT OliKlFN British Aviator FaU* 2.000 Fed; Only subtly Hvr). ?
