June 9 ? (Correspondence oC the Asso? ciated Cress).?-Cae of the machine gun as a weapon for offensive oper? ations and for indirect lire by elevat? ing the gun so that the bullets will tall into the trenches of the enemy is one of the recent developments ol warfare which convinces the British army that the American expeditionary force should be trained within soun 1 Si the guns at the front. This change In the method of using the niachim gun has been brought about within a year, It shows, say the Hritish officers the rapidity with which methods of lij.hting arc being altered* nnd that ? capable officers were to be sent to the ficnt from America the systems they learned might be out of date before the troops they were to teach arrived in Frame. Less than a year ago the machine gun was regarded pri? marily as a weapon of direct tire, th it is for mowing down an advancing enemy. It was thus chiefly a defen sive method and its usefulness was limited to the rather rare period when the enemy was actually attempting to attack. Hut today the machine gpn, though retaining its importance in this ro SpOQt, has become still more a weap? on of Indirect lire and by far the greater portion Df machine gun cas? ualties nowadays are caused through this use of the weapon. In one hlgh i ly valued type of so-called indirect tire I machine gun is trained by day on a stretch of road or communications ? hieb the enemy is using at night for bringing up supplies and reinforce? ments. The machine gun tripod care? fully is adjusted to command this road, and stakes are placed so that the bullets ran be strayed over the road. Then at night, although the road is invisible the machine gun is turned on At Intervals of perhaps an hour, sweeping the road (dear of any ene? my supply columns that may be there, and In effect making the use of that road Impossible at night. As In the case of the machine gun. evolution Is constantly In progress :n the use of the bavonet. in bombing, In trenching, in sapping, in counter-at? tack. Nowhere, say army otFtcors, can the latest developments of each of I these specialties be taught so well as in the training camps just hehlnd the trenc hes where specialists direct from yesterday's lighting are at hand to Instruct the novice. Another valuable feature of the training camp nt the front is that the soldier is there brought rapidly,, almost unwittingly. Into the atmosphere of modern war fore so that when he Is finally drafted Into his front line unit he finds noth? ing particularly new or strange to him. No matter how well the Ameri? can troops may be trained in the I'nited States they would And the melee of actual battle psychology very trying. And war experts no longer I uigh at psychology.

Careful Feeding Will Prevent Many of the Odors in Milk. Clemson College, June 20.?Several farmers have made complaint to the DHlslSg of Animal Husbandry and Dairy lag of demsoa college that the milk from their cows have a peculiar smell if ml will not churn. Just what is the cause of the trouble cannot be riven, but the following has been l?>und to be the usual conditions when the com plaint Is made: The cow Is getting nothing but dry feed, she h is I een milking several months, and there has been a sudden change in the temperature. The treatment for all such cases Is to give the cow some green foo l or BJOtlltOCS or turnips. If she is constipated give her one pound of BpSOttt salts. Then raise the tem? perature of churning. Dlttlcult churning is due to trying to churn winde milk or very thin steam at too low a temperature; having the churn too full and churn Ing at lag slow Speed? Hutler sboiild sagst in not h ss than 98 minutes. The ordinary feed of the sag will not effect the flavor of the milk.

Fruit for j use In pie or salads or m stewed fruit I ran be put up or canned without the use of an> sugar at all. according to I the canning specialists of the depart-I ment. They, therefore, advise those who, because of the high price Of su? gar, have been thinking of reducing the antOtint of fruit they put up, to I can as ntUOh of their surplus as pos? sible by the use of boiling water when ISUgnr syrup is beyond their means. Any fruit, they say, may be success? fully Sterilised and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water | instead of the hot syrup. The use of I i sugar, of course, is desirable in the canning of all kinds of fruits and r?akes a better and readv-sweetened product. Moreover, most of the fruits when canned in water alone do not retain their natural flavor, texture and color as well as fruit put up in syrup. ITult canned without sugar to be used for sauces or desserts must be sweet? ened. Directions for Canning Fruits Without Syrup. Can the product the same day it Is picked. Cull, stem, or seed, and clean the fruit by placing it in n Strainer ind pouring water over it until it Is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of a table spoon, wooden ladle, or table knif< for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle, place rubbers and caps in position, partial 'y seal if using glas? jars, seal com pletely if using tin cans. Place th containers in a Sterilising vat such a a wash boiler with false bottom, o:* other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath outfit, process for 20 minutes; count , time after the water has reached the boiling point; the water must cover the highest jar in container. After sterilizing remove packs, seal glass ja -s, wrap In paper to prevent bleach hH and store in a dry, cool place. If you are canning in tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water imme? diately after sterilization. When lin? ing a steam pressure canner instead of the hot water bath, sterilise for 10 minutes With five pounds of steam pressure. NeVOT allow the pressure to go over 10 pounds. Necessity for Saving Heed.? Clemson College, June 10,?The grain crop this year ll so shor. that there will be a great demand for seed this fall, and seed will be hard to get except at high prices. The farmers, therefore, who have any wheat should make every effort possible to preserve this in good condition for fall plant? ing, or for sale as seed, if there is more than enough for his own use. By cleaning the grain thoroughly, and placing it in a room or bin, built so as to permit the use of carbon bisulphide, all rats and weevils can be destroyed, and the grain kept in good condition for seed. Careless? ness In this matter will cause many to have to pay high prices for seed In the fall. All seeds raised on the farm, lUCh as the farmer can save for use for tho next crop, should be taken care of so that they will not bo damaged. Not only for one's own sake, but for the sake of others who have no grain crop from which to save seed. A tight crib, and one Which is rat proof, will aid greatly Ifl helping the farmer to save all seeds in good condition. If than is not enough room in the crib, than tight bins should be built in th ? barns, or elsewhere, and these us m! for the storage of grain seeds. Carbon Bisulphide will kill the wt evils. Detailod information will i?e furnished to all who write for Information In regard to saving seeds. The oat crop in the State is th* ilghteal In several years, ami it is extremely Important that all farm era having Rood fields of oats gave is many as possible for seed pur DC es this fall.

I_ mmm Niic-ccssful aiul Profitable short Course Cloaca This Afternoon. Tin- last lemonatration in the short canning comae, now being held in the Qlrls' high school building, is to he given this afternoon. For three days .Miss Lemmon and a corps of assist? ants have hem busy teaching the young ladl< s of the county how to pre? pare and preserve various kinds of foodstuffs which are grown in Bumtcr county. About seventy-live young la? dies and gills, together with two hoys, have taken advantage of this course, These young people have been enter? tained by the people of the city, homes for them being found through the Chamber of Commerce. For two nights the Chamber of Commerce gave each visitor a free ticket to the picture show and Wed? nesday afternoon they were given a long ride about the city in automo? biles furnished by their city friends. One of the most interesting and in? structive demonstrations of the entire course was that given Wednesday by Miss Wcssllng, who is an authority on ? read making. She taught the pupils how to use many substitutes for wheat flour, such as soy beans, peanuts and potatoes. Miss .To Yarborugh has been of great assistance in teaching how to dry fruits and vegetables and how to make jelly and crystal fruit from the fruit that is plentiful in this section. Miss Lucio Lemnion has done much In showing how the lire less cooker ctm he used. She ha-; taught the girls not only how to cook a variety of things but also how to freeze various mixtures in this tireless cooker.

Last drill day the attendance was twice as groat as any previous drill day in weeks. It is almost assured that the United States, government will furnish uni? forms and guns for this company as Congressman A. F. I^ever is working on this plan with the war depart? ment in Washington. As tho Bumter Light Infantry was tho first homo guard organized during the present war the members feel a keen interest in trying to make it the best lrilled and most regularly at? tended drill home guard in South Car? olina. This company is composed of former members of the Sumter Light Infantry from nineteen to fifty years of age, all experienced military men and former members of other military commands who reside in Sumter or Bumter county. The Sumter Light Infantry Home Guard is a military company out? growth of the Sumter Light Infantry Association which was organized by retired members of the well-known Company L of the South Carolina Nat? ional Guard and is familiarly and en? dearingly known to all of its present and former members and officers as tho "S.

MEN WANTED FOB MAKING. 10,000 FagISSM IS and Officers Needed by United States Shipping Hoard. Washington, D. C, Juno 20, 1917. To tlic Editor of The News and Cou? rier. You will help your country in a direct and telling way by publish? ing in The News and Courier the fact that the United States Shipping board Is seeking the name and address of every man in the United States who can qualify, with or without special training* for a position as an engineer or officer on an American mo i chant ship. The merchant marine will need within eighteen months 5,000 addi? tional engineers in all grades. To start In training those not yet qualified to secure United States in? spection papers, the government will open on July 2 a chain of free schools in ma line engineering, at some of the best known technical colleges in the country, for which marine engineers of all grades, oilers and water tend? ers, also stationary engineers, are eligible. Duration of term, one month. After passing examinations of steam? boat inspection service students will have opportunity for further training Under service conditions until wanted on ships of the new merchant ma? rine. The designated free engineer? ing school for your section is Tulane University, New Orleans. Candidates for admission should apply to Prof. W. H. B. CreightOtt, in charge of the course. There are also needed for the mer? chant service 5, (?00 captains and mates. Candidates for this service may obtain fr?e preliminary training in navigation at government schools be? ing established on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacitic coasts. Further informa? tion regarding the service in both branches may be had from Henry Howard, director of recruiting for the Shipping Board, Custom House, Bos? ton, Mass. William Denman, Chairman U. S. Shipping Board. America's Duty. (Ey Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War.) We are separated from the actual scene of this conflict by thousands of miles of sea. Our losses in it have as yet been minor. We are entering the war in the firm belief and purpose of < nding it in a victory for right and are have not the slightest intention of Stopping until that victory is achieved. Mad as the world seems to be, some day there will be reestablished on this stricken planet a peace which will be just and wise and permanent, just in proportion as America pours out her spiritual resourc.-s in the waging of the war from now on and is heard at the conference table to challenge the attention of mankind to the beauty of righteousness among nations! En the meantime, as the armies which are being called are trained and are led to battle, all along the nation? al wayside of every nation in the world, still crouch the terrified and trampled figures of the children of mankind, disowned, starving and dy? ing. There is no limit to it. But the call is limitless and it is to be made known to the hearts of the people of the United States, and we are going to endeavor to respond to this cry of distress. The president has urged that the lied Cross be made the vehicle of our response. Organization for any task is the more important as the task be? comes larger and more serious. It re? quires a Very high degree of Organ? ization, effectively and economically and.wisely to administer the charities of a city. It requires a very much higher degree of organisation and co? ordination to make effective the philanthropies of a nation. And so, in the interest of making effective our generous impulses, in the interest of saving just as many as we can, the concentration of our efforts through the Bod Cross, which has both a nat? ional and an international status and la managed ami conducted by men of large affairs and gisal experience with this sort of thing, seems to be essen? tially demanded. There are many cars still running iround Sumter without State license tax numbers, The law becomes ef? fective on July 1st and auto owners Who run their cars after that date are liable to arrest and hue or Imprison* incut.
