If the legislature would only ad
journ, perhaps we would have some
decent weather.
It is understood that the young men
are not so anxious to attain their ma
jority as they once were.
“To strike or not to strike” seems
to be the question uppermost in the
minds of the Cermans on the Western
front.
We’d be willing to give most any-
thing just to hear that old foolish
question No 7»f»,R39 —“Is it hot
enough for you ?"
No, Celesttne, We are not saving
any coal for Uncle Sam on account of
these heat less Mondays Fact is. we
haven't any to save.

vene in Columbia -March 14th.
Rock Hill, Feb. 2.—President Jas.
P. Kinard has almost completed the

State Teachers’ Association to be held
in Columbia March 14-16. Among
the speakers already on the program
are Mr. Josephine Berry, of Washing
ton, D. C., and Mr. Verl Peterson of

feeling that the meetings are gener
ally too strenuous and a departure

dramatic league of Columbia to giyje
a play on Friday evening.
The Department of Modern Lang
uage Teachers has arranged a strong
program. «Mr. A. G. Rembert of Wof
ford College will speak and the sub
ject of College Entrance requirements
will he discussed by Miss Katherine
Reed of Cokej College; Teaching
Scansion by Dr. E. L. Greene, Colum
bia; How to Hold the Pupils,, Miss
Mamie Coleman, Darlington; Teaching
the Pupil How to Study Latin, by Mr.
Lawton, Coker College.
Dr. Henry E. Jackson, of Washing
ton, D. C., will address the members
of the School Improvement Associa
tion. .
Among the Subjects t6 be discussed
in the meetings of the Department of
Colleges and Secondary Schools will
be: Maximum and minimum hours
per week for students in degree
courses of study as stated in cata
log. Uniform credit blank for stu
dents transferring from one college
to another.
The remainder of the programs will
be ready to give out within a few days.
,R. C. Burta, secretary, will send^out
about the middle of February a list
of the ^ptels, boarding houses and
cafes in Columbia and teachers can
easily make arrangement for pieces
to stop. Numbers of counties are in
the race for the trophy cup which will
be awarded to the county which has
the largest percentage of teachers en
rolled as members. The dues for the
association should he sent U W E.

Europe Is still sending an Insistent

If the war Is to go on efficiently. If
we eat It all we cannot ship It, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
Is needed by people who will starve If
tbey^do not get It, the fopd administra
tion states.
“For the least bit of heedlessness
on your part In food conservation soine^
one somewhere In the world must suf
fer privation.” an official statement
declares. “The food administration
has mastered the problem of Ameri
ca’s food in such a way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes Co an empty

“Tt is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
“Food means life; It means aome-

“There Is no waste of food among

It is certain that fair and warmer
weather will prevail the first of the
week, beginning February 3. The cold
rain during the past week is a strong
indicator of pleasant weather as the
clouds will absorb all the cold air and
carry it off as they dissolve. A cold
wave is impossible. Rain will occur
about the latter part of the week. One
of the normal conditions of February
weather is a large amount of humid
ity, which should prevail in the form
of clouds and rain.
Lower temperatures will prevail
with February 9 as the central date,
also February 16.
Temperatures much below freezing
are not probable for this latitude# dur
ing the remainder of the winter.

Wheat-corn bread Is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
ilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and Ip soloing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here’s a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk, water or n mixture of
tne two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup coni men >
and two cups \Wient flour.
P^iit one and a half cups of water
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat (If
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water Is stiff!
clent only to soften the meal a little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
flour and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make Into loaf, place In pan of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 45 or 50 min-
utea. It la hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage of cornmeal than
thla even In emergenctea, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Leas cornmeal can he used
and In sues a case the general metk
off given above may he followed.
It U possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking (he
