On account of the demands for labor in necessary imlu.-dries, and because for many years part the cities with their attractions of high wages and amusements have drawn many women from the farms, there is not now enough labor seeking employment to supply the demand of the farms for extra help, e penally during the periods of seasonal strain for -cultivating and harvesting.

In many such towns and cities last year men were spared from ordinary business and industry, from offices and shops, and crops were cultivated and harvested which -other wise might have suffered serious loss. Such adjustments must he made this year and undoubtedly will b" made when the commnuit'ics att'ectcd come into a full realization the necessities cf the case. In .releasing the men of farm experience in the cities, for farm labor, many women can be utilized to take their places for a few days at a time or for a whole season. Generally speaking, it wiU become more and more necessary for women to take dne piaces of men in all occupations. Mow Women Can Help.

USE MORE IRISH POTATOES In Order That They Will Not Overlap New Crop. Columbia.?South Carolina can help ' very materially now In the conserva; tjon of wheat by using Irish potatoes ' The produce people report to the food administration at Columbia that tliere are unusual quantities of excellent Irish potatoes on hand in this state i for immediate uao. It is important that these Trish potatoes be used so that they will not overlap into the new crop, and be-uuse they are the best available substitute for wheat. Potatoes are universally liked. Th food ad in n ist rat ion has beep assure' that Irish potatoes can 1v? houyh* very reasonable prices from a'.! io : markets, and if they cannot be hart th food administrator at Columbia wot; ; be please dto be advised so that any deficient market can be supplied.

DEFINE AUSTRIA AS SUBSERVIENT \ London.-?At the meeting: of Emerror Charles, The Daily Chronicle aays apparently a step was taken 10ward formally defining and rceongizng the subservient relations of the val monarchy toward the German empire. "An independent Austria-Hun ?I At 11 _ II* giry, liiu nowspaper uncus, is impossible, chiefly because not one ef its constituent nationalities wants it. The Ausrto-Ges'man and Magyar dom nant minorities ruling over Slav majorities do n*>t want an independent monarchy, tout a monarchy dependent on Germany which can help them maintain their unnatural position. "On the other hand the Czechs-Slovaks and Jugoslavs do not want a dual monarchy in any form or otherwise. They want independent Czccch Slovak and Jugoslav states. Uetween these two schools any attempt by Em >eror Charles to reassert the inclose ndeneo ol" the Hapsburgs is doomed to fall helplessly." o YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN! t Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. / You corn-pestered nu n and women need suffer no long;*, r. wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching- corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be 'ftcd out, root and all, without pain A small bottle of freezone cost very ittle at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or sof' ct rn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. if your druggist hasn't any frco;onc tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house, it is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.?adv?(4) -o r!'l*n Tw.1. ..,..,.4^.. i in. vunn; i iti\ Wdott'i Ul 1 i kut meat?spreader of Tick Fever. o NOTICE OF SALE i Under and by virtue of the d crce and judgment of the court made by his Honor, Mendlc L.

A ooia cvvrywmro A IUwmwmmS \ t FARMING TAUGHT BOYS AND GIRLS Practical Agricultural Courses Offered and Eleven Groups Busy. C. H. Lane, Southern representative of the federal board for vocational education, visited Columbia last week, inspecting and checking the vocational education activities in South Carolina. After spending the day in conference with the State superintendent of education, Mr. Lane left for Orangeburg to inspect the? Slate colored college. From Orangeburg he goes to Kock Hill in an effort to secure the cooperation of Winthrop in the establishment of vocational classes for girls State Superintendent Swearingen submitted to Mr. Lane the work undertaken at Clemson College for the preparation of agricultural teachers. The professorship of agricultural pedagogy was established by the Clemson trustees upen the recommendation of President Kiggs last June. The classes at the college are made up of juniors and seniors and the course in in charge of Prof. Vcrd Peterson. The war has called a largo proportion of the Clemson students to the colors, but the work, as outlined by the collocre authorities v. :is ?ie-_ copted by Mr. Lar.o. The department of education at Clemson has recently been strengthened by the addition of Mr. Crandel! of New York. He comes to the college from Cornell where he has pursued successfully the course under Dr. Works. An enlarged program in this field will be undertaken by Clemson during the scholastic year 191819. School Agriculture. Through the cooperation of Clem son, its professor of agricultural c duration has also been allowed to serve as State supervisor of agricultural instruction. Since entering upon his duties last summer, Professor Peterson has devoted the greater part of his time to the organization of classes in agriculture in the public schools. The federal board requires that all teachers of vocational agriculture cVinll no frvn I Inn to^ of c* ?*? !/? 11 It 11 vol I Vy ^ I \ I \.?l? vv r./ A (((i,! IV.UI VIII Ul colleges. The prob 1 err* of finding and locating these men has been most difficult, but 11 groups of schools have been organized and 11 special teachers put to v. ork in Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Richland, Lancaster, Aiken, Hampton, Orangeburg, and Williamsburg. These 11 groups have been approved by the Slate an I federal boards and their class room and projected activities were approved after inspection by Mr. Lane. His report to the Washington authorities guarantees the maintenance of this work during the scholastic year 1918-19. Those hot?iuninirs at C.'lemson and in the public .schools will certainly be enlarged and extended in the near future. The Smith-Hughes act makes four specific appropriations: Objects to He Sought. 1. For the teaching of agriculture in the public schools. 2. For the teaching of trades and industries in the public schools. 8. For the teaching .of domestic j science in the public schools. 4. For the preparation of vocational ; teachers who must give this public | school instruction. I The State board of education has ; been constituted the South Carolina i board of vocational training. Unfortunately, the State board of i vocational training has no funds and has been forced to appeal to the colleges for cooperation in the support and introduction of this work. The I Smith-Hughes act requires that evl cry dollar of federal money must be ! matched by a dollar secured in the State. The local funds may be provided from any source, hence the State department of education has [ been raising money ir. cooperation with county boards of education, with the district trustees and from private contributions. Some $20,000 has already been paid into the State treasury by the federal authorities to be used in vocational work in South Carolina and the allotment of federal aid for the scholastic year 1917-18 it 1 a - onn tu\r\ I Will amouni tu I this amount will be increased. o I bat . coiusr Mjjfimi SAVE MjlMJ "WHEAT rllti Cvreu !r? u tc * t Dsys Your druggist -wilt refund money if PAZO OINTMENT fail* to cure an?case of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding riles in Gto:4 day t.
