aam CLAIM SMALL SHIP PLAN ALL WRONG Manchester Shipping Expert; Show Why Large Ships : ''l Are Better k rIquire more men * AND MORE MATERIAL Prospect of Loss Greater? Afeo Would Congest Ports More. Manchester?A committee of shipping experts here has adopted a report against the building of small snips in preference to big ones to offset the submarine danger. The report says: "The policy of small ship construction can only have a most disastrous effect on the nation?the man power required by the army and our chances of victory. The Germans aim to s'nk 9,000*000 tons a year anil hope to sink still moie. Allowing losses by mines and natural causes to balance any exaggeration of German claims and assuming that wo build one-half the lost tonnage and other counrtiss the balance, we have increased last year's output by about b ur million tons, eqivalent to 11,000,000 tons of cargo capacity per year. ^ --- i- * _ / n AAA j comparing snips 01 z.uuu cons and 16,000 tons displacement, carrying 650 and 8,675 tons of cargo, respectively, and taking the north Atlantic , passage as a basis, we should require building each year 2,460 of the smaller ships, but only 185 of the larger. Small Ships Cost More. "The smaller ships would cost 111,000,000 pounds and the larger onei enly 40,000,000. The small ships Y,"QuLdl use 1,550,000 tons of steel anc 575,000 tons of timber, and woult consume 6,750,000 tons of coal on th< outward voyage per year. The larg er ships would absorb 1,030,000 ton: l of steel and 382,000 tons of timber and consume only 1,560,000 tons o coal. , "The number of men employed ii building the ships, including making and handling steel mid other mate caals, would be 635,000 for the small er ships and 285,000 for the larger The coal consumed would account fo 15,000 men for the small ships, a against 10,500 for the larger. Thu the larger ships would release abou 380,000 persons for other nationu service. Moreover, the larger ship would rt quire 00,000 fewer mariner? "Again, the prospect of loss bod in number of ships and in cargo car vying capacity will be greater wit! small ships than large, and the for i.ior wil' produce greater conge.stio in ports. "Th? policy of the small ship: therefore, is all wrong. All our shi building energies should be divot;te towards building the largest ship our various yards can efficienlt handle." o Turmshing "Squiblets" for thi column hs not always like pie.

J The following editorial by John NVannamakor appeared in recent newspaper advertisements of hi? New York store: > j Our country p osperous can pa\ our war cost?, as they come, havi!enough left over to a!d our Allies. I Our country unprospcrous, with business halting, money hoarded, j through fear or fal'. o economy, wili be hard pressed to keep food on tin table and clothing on the back. Keep business uoing is a pa jtriotic slogan. Keep money in circulation. Keep employment for every 'body. Keep wages good. Keep on making money that we may have ! money to spend for war sacrifices. The worst thing- that could happen | to the world these days would be a business depression in our United Sttites. War in itself dors not cause j business depression. The billions of dollars of money to bo expended ii war preparations will be put into cir : culation in our own country and this 1 in itself will create new wealth for 1 use in the world struggle for humanity. ; The one tiling that might halt bus' iness now is an unpatriotic psychol'logical feeling- of panic and a false idea of patriotic economy. 1 Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste and extravagance. It ; means the conservation of our food ipixxiucts, our natural wealth, our health, our energies, our labor, our I very lives. It means putting more efficiency in everything we do so that each unit of money, energy, and intelligence may accomplish the ut most. Patriotic economy dees not mean the lowering of America's standard of living, which would make us less efficient physically and mentally, nationally and individually, and ! would kill the spirit and the wiP to do the truly self-sacrificing things to be done. i Cities and communities must go on with their civic improvements. Road building and public works must pro. ceed. Railroads must renew their ; equipment. Factories must be kept ? going to their full capacity. Labor i must be kept up. Merchandise must j be produced, distributed and used. 3 War duites and war expenditures must be in addition to peace duties s and peace expenditures The more we . do the more we can do. The more } r money we spend the more we will have in our pockets to spend. Money creates money. 'i in a word, the natural sane life of y 5 the country must proceed as though we were not at war, in order that we may have the necessary prosperity to promote the war to a quick and successful conclusion. :i ?o t NOTICE OF SALE. 1 s Under and by virtue of the decree ;< and judgment of the court made by 1} hi:* Honor T.

THE HORRY HE1 NEW YORK MAKES j READY FOR WAR i j Legislature Also Allows Each City to Decide Saloon Question. Albany, N. Y.?The H:il-Whe I ill to permit the cilio.i of the Stal to dctcrnnne for th^rmolvcs th question of licensing saloons, wa:. passed by the assembly early toda> after a bitter contest. A few hour earlier similar action was taken b} the Senate. The measure now goo.to the Governor, who speeded it.4 passage under an emergency message. The Legislature will adjourn foi his year at 2 p. tn. today. Numerous war bills have bee? passed, chief among these measures being those creating a State constabulary force, compelling all boys between the ages of IG and 19 years of ago to undergo military training; increasing the strength of the naval militia; providing for a census and in ventory of the State's military resources; enabling the transfer to the federal government of lands at Hock away Point desired for a fortification site; providing lor the registration of alien residents; authorizing the industrial commission to suspend the 'aws governing the hours of labor ind providing that children over 12 years of age may he excused from school between April 1 and November 1 for employment on farms or in >tlior forms of food production. Another result of legislative action will be the submission of the woman suffrage question to a referendum at the November election. o Now the farmer can understand the reason why it would have paid him last year and the year before and the year before that, to have raised all he could of supplies that he heeds on the farm, not only to run its own. Dusiness out to sen to others, l lie price of everything is high indeed. A TREE OF DOUBLE VALUE South Carolina Farmers (JrgacT to Plant Pecan For Its Shade at v Well as It's Fruit. I have before me pecan nut# of the 1915 crop that were grown in the Coastal section of South Carolina and some others that were produced in the extreme northwestern corner of the state at an elevation of 900 feet. These nuts, representing one of our heat varieties, the Stuart, are sufficient evidence that the pecan will thrive in practically every locality In South Carolina, from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the seashore. Each of our farm homes should be surrounded by nut-hearing trees rather than by other trees of less beauty and of no economic value. Wo pay high prices for small, inferior nuts when about our very doors can be grown the choicest sorts. Furthermore, there are large possibilities in the production of pecans for cou-mercial purposes. Standard varieties se! dom soil for less than 30 cents a pound, yet there fa a profit in growing pecans at 10 cents a pound. A pecan orchard of good varieties gives pleasure as well as profit, and is to any farm or suburban home a permanent nmt vnlur.hlo nsSet. The most important point in the successful establishment, of a pecan orchard is to use vigorous trees of good varieties. Varieties recommended for South Carolina are Stuart, Schley, Success, Van Demaii, Frotscher, Pah.-% and Money-Maker. Set the trees carefully in large deep holes about 60 feet apart each way. Givo them as much care and attention as if given your moat profitable farm erof and you will not be disappointed it the results. A neglected pecan tree will yield no more profitable returns than will any other neglected crop O! ' fruit tree. It is well to plant the orchards t< garden or field crops, driving stakes . beside the trees to prevent them fron ? be ing bruised in cultivating. Intensiv i cultivation and fertilizing of the cron t between the rows of trees will usual! " 1 be sufficient to keep the pecans grow " lug thriftily. s A fow nuts may be expected fror y each tree in tnroe years aner trais! [1 planting and the amount will increas 0 each year. By the tenth year the tree 1 should he yielding profitable crop ? In fact, if a pecan orchard is care ~ for properly it will come into profl able bearing in about the same lengt it' of time aa will an apple orchard. F. J.
