WORKER . -t ? ; Taking his Croix de Guerre from own breast, a French army capMn, by orders of his general, pinned j it on the coat of Edwin Ely, of No. 73 West Eighty-eighth street, New York, according to a cablegram just received fTom overseas. Mr. Ely is a Y. M. C. A- secretary of a Foyer du Soldat. Ely was later invited to dinner by the Commanding General. When he j entered all the officers stood at salute i tttttil he war- seated at the side of the General. The General made an address thanking Ely and the Y. M. C. A- for their work in France and exjjypssed recret that he was not able fc-v ccnfr" ?? ?~**;eial decoration. The "Y" Ken Are lo Be ' Found Where Battle Is Hot "If you want to know what the Y. M C.

Who Urges Neighbors to Volunteer Part Time to Working Farms From Which Men Have Been Called Into the Army. i i Columbia.?As a war measure, to be applied individually where conditions demand it, and as a means of saving a vast amount of foodstuffs and feedstuffs as well as other crops, Governor Manning, in a call to the patriotism of the people of the rural sections of South Carolina,, urges that neighbors lend of their time to help work the j crops on farms from wmcn men nave been drafted into the army. The governor's statement follows: "The necessity of sending men over seas as rapidly as possible is greater than ever before. More and more men must be drafted in to the army. The War Department finds it impossible to grant furloughs to these men who have been called away from the ' farms. The need of men is greater ( in the army. I realize that the short| age of farm labor is a serious handi; cap. Crops must be cultivated. A 1 little later the harvests will be on. In this situation I urge that, in every community' throughout the State, neighbors, who know local conditions, lend themselves and give of their time to help on the farms from which the operators and laborers have been taken into the army. In this way, and in this way only, will a great economic loss be avoided. In this way cam a great amount of foodstuffs and feedstuffs, too precious In view- of war demands and war conditions to lose, but which will otherwise probably be lost, be saved. This kind of service ,4s, and should be regarded, as real war work. There exists a great opportunity to serve patriotically and unselfishly, in a way that will count heavily, and I hope that our peopie will be -quick to see and grasp it. V -MAXIMUM CANNING WITH ?- MINIMUM USE OF SUGAR i Columbia.?Fruits may be canned without sugar for next winter's use. This will be good news to many housewives who are handicapped in their canning operations by the limit that the Food Administration has found it necessary to put on the amount of sugar that can be purchased for canning and preserving. A bulletin has been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture which tells how to put up fruits without sugar. Copies of this bulletin may be had by writing the Department at Washington. Ask for Bulletin No. 839. Full instructions will be found on page 15. Other bulletins issued by the Department of Agriculture give instructions for "maximum canning with miniriftim sugar* Home canners should write the Department for Bulletins or o 0:0 onn qqa 1> US.

EXPERT TELLS HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN Columbiai?The Food Administration has issued a pamphlet, "A Message to the Cora Club Boys of South Carolina," containing an article written by James W. Draffin, second prize winner in the Corn Club contest for the State in 1917, and who is an expert on corn production and scientific selection of seed. The article i? entitled, "How I Select My Seed Corn in the Field," and contains some valuable information not only for boy farmers, but for their eiders as well. Copies of this pamphlet will be mailed free to any person making request to the Conservation and Production Division, Food Administration, Columbia, S. C. FARMERS MAY SELL HOME-GROWN WHEAT Columbia.?Farmers who have grown wheat may, under recently modified regulations of the Food Ad- I ministration, sell wheat or flour to their neighbors under certain conditions. Purchasers of wheat from farmers may have it ground on the same basis as the farmer who raised it, but in such cases they will be expected to use flour substitutes pound for pound with the flour. When farmers sell flour to individuals they must sell flour substitutes with it. or take miller's certificates from the purchaser. showing that flour substitutes have been ground to. cover the amount of flour bought, pound for pound. NEW REGULATIONS TO APPLY TO COTTON SEED Columbia.?The Food Administration announces that all price agreements or other masters affecting the pnce 01 tne lyiY-iyis crop win expire with the disposition of such cotton seed as individuals now have in their possession. No agreement now existing. as to cotton seed prices, will extend to the next crop, hut new rules and regulations will be announced later to apply to the 1018-1919 crop. All | differentials and margins of profit. : zones and rules, which have been established will remain in effect until they have been replaced by other sim- i liar rulings. l ^flfiggggggg'?
