WilIson's plan for nce Ig the crisis
with Germany gave no out ward erl
dence of change today, tit there were
several developients ici appeared
to be hastuing eventua ities.
Another apparent, vio tion of inter
national law was adde to the list ac
cunulating from (Ger any's sibila
rine campaign which licials believe
sooner or later is virtt Ily certain to
nake necessary furthe- steps by the
-United States. The onlaught on the
Dutch shipping reportid during the
day also had its effect lore, strength
ening the conviction to oilcial quar
ters that neutral interests are to be'
ruthlessly disregarded under the new
Cerman policy.
In the senate discussion of the In
lernational crisis broke out afresh and
a reiublican attack on the adminis
trations failure to take more aggres
sive measures was followed by the in
troduetlon of a resolution by Senator
Fall, a repubilean, authorizing the
president to use the rined forces of
the naitilon to protect .\inericant right

Valuable Jerusalem Artichoke.
It appears from Professor Stra.
kosch's figures that the most effelent
of all economic plants is the Jerusa
lem artichoke. This justly valued
vegetable produces on an acre of good
land about 7,127 pounds of starch and
other digestible substances. It takes
from the soil Incidentally $20 worth of
material. But the differenee between
consumption and production, in terms
of value, is $110.
Quarantine Laws.
Nations are supposed to be sover
eign-that is, to have the right to
make their own laws, rules and regu
lations; and this sovereignty holds, in
part, at least, for cities, towns and
even rural comnunities. The right of
self-preservation Is inherent and im
prescriptible, and nation, state, city
or countryside has the right of quaran
tine, if the necessity for it really ex
ists.
Cancer and Poison Ivy.
The correspondent of a Syracuse (N.
Y.) newspaper asserts that, to his
knowledge, no cancer sufTerer has
ever been poisoned by poison ivy and
lays claims, unless someone else can
cite sucli a ase, to the discovery of
a cure. Ills cheerful assumption that
whatever does not kill, cures, is at
least refreshing.-Springfield (Mass.)

TO THE FARMERS
Of Laurens County
We have purchased this space in this paper for
two months solely for the purpose of giving out,
through the office of the County Demonstration Agent,
information bearing on the importance of Laurens
County's raising her own
FOOD FOR MAN
AND
FEED FOR STO0CK
this year. One of the greatest assets and attractions
of farm life is that old doctrine of "Live at home and
board at the same place." If you were not material=
ly benefittced by 18 cents cotton and $60 seed this
winter, thini it over and see if it isn't because you are
having to buy many, many things you should have
raised at home.
Now rend this from a leading paper of the state
of February 24th:---"How prices here compare with
a year ago."

Sweet Potatoes Bu. 1.30 .75 last year
VNow a our famers buying lots of these?
Wouldn't it be nice t-te>selling these instead?
You ask why do we spend this money on adver
tising?.
WE KNOW that "food and feed raised at home"~ is the first es
sential of good farming.
WE KNOW that the farmer who is not practising this can't stand
the strain of adverse circumstances, should they come.
WE BELIEVE that a county of farmers practising this would be
the best kind of a place to do a safe banking business.
WE BELIEVE that a full and frank discussion of why we should
do this and of how we can do it, (not as critics but as
friends) right at this time of year will put the county
on a better food and feed basis next fall and winter,
and leave cotton money for surplus.
Think over this, and read what will appear next
week. We are ready to help to the full limit of ke
gitimate banking.
