"It i.s now generally concluded tt.at the moat Important factor in winmnc the war ia food," said A. V. Smd!. held representative of the Tinten States food administration, and mana? ger of the food pledge campaign in the State, to be inaugurated October -'1-2S. ' It is true that on the part of thej general public thin Is a hard matter! Id realise, because of its very nature. The building of an army and navy, I UM culling out of the soldiers aoiahlj ffata exery section of,the nation, city i nd country alike, has nautrally at 11acted and monopolized public at tenilon, but the very fact that these men have been called out, men who were formerly producers, not onlx in the United States, but in all allied na? tions-, has caused a deficiency in the *upply. "More and more the allied natioas are depending upon the United States for this supply, and this is especially ttue with the constant reduction in shipping. United States and Canada being the shortest haul, therefore cutting the number of ships required to the minimum. "Probably the most immediate ncferl in the food supply is wheat, meat and fruigar. It does not seem to be gener? ally understood that it is impossible to use corn except in small quantities in France. There are no mills with which to grind the corn and corn gtaal will not ship. In addition, bead is talked in piblic evens, and not in private kitchens, therefore it is al most impossible In this immediate emergency to use corn. Wheat must be iwed, and must be conserved a., well as the other products mentioned "The producers of the country have responded to the call for increase*! production splendidly, and it is now squarely up to the homes of the coun? try to conserve the food supply pro? duced. In this every household, n< matter how humble It may be, can huve a part, and perform it* putriotb se -vne. This fait again has not beer, brought to the full consciousness 01 our people. Have you ever realized Just what a small saving in food sup? ply on the part of every individual In America, of each individual family, would mean? For example, one slie? of bread per individual, saved cue! week, on the part of all the people in the United States, would be a llttb over 100,000,000 s ices of bread. 01 a saving weekly of from 6,000,000 tc> 7,000,000 loaves, enough to feed the entire American army of 100,000 men easily. "One slice of bead saved by each family in the United States each daj of the week would be a total saving of 10.000,000 loaves per week, or It each family saved one slice each meal, it would mean a saving Ol 30,000.000 loaves per week. The ser? vice that could be rendered by the In? dividual can be still better compre? hended if it is realized that the sav ing of one slice of bread each msel of any week by each inhabitant of the United States, would mean a to tal weekly saving of 150,000,000 louve of bread. "It is the purpose of this- campaign to bring these facts directly home tc the individual, and to force upon hti consciousness his individual responsi? bility In the winning of this war. It is all well enough to wave flags, an? bid our soldier boys Godspeed, but unless the individual citizen can be made to realize that he has a part and by no means an unimportant pan in the winning of this war, we Will not measure up to our obligations as a nation. The central powers hav not wuited to call upon the voluntar? service in this rospect, but they oblh;< their citizens, whether they will or no1 to conserve food. "One of the smallest demoeraeic. in the world, Switzerland, could well DO copied in America.

The light, inexperienced Sumter High School football team lost to the heavy and more experienced Winns boro Hinh School football team on the local Riounda yesterday, 13 to 0. The Gamecocks contested every inch of ground and put up a scrappy fight Fighting against great odds the local hoys made the game interesting from start to ilnish. At the outset it Wai plainly evident that the local team? which did not contain the name of a man who had ever played a game Of football before?was nervous and un? accustomed to the fundamental prin? ciples which is found in the more ex perieneed man, and from this lack o! experience resulted the first touch down for the visitors. Sumter received the kick-off, fumbl ed, but recovered. On the llrst pla. they again fumbled, Winnshoro recov? ering the ball. Then by a series o: line bucks and off-tackle plays the made their first touchdown. Goal was missed. No more scoring wa made until the third quarter. At the beginning of the third quar ter Sumter again received, but bad judgment on the part of the local baektield caused the ball to be kop In the shadow of their goal pOStf. Again the visitors rushed the ball ovo. the line for u second touchdown an ! kicked goal. Fighting gamely, the local boys Staged a rally in the last part of th third quarter and the fourth qua* ter, Denniston making several Ion.-, gains on end runs. On several ocea Slong the Gamecocks had opportuni? ties to score but poor judgment and lack of teamwork threw away th' opportunities. Considering the fact that the Sumtei team was entirely new, the boy showed up remarkably well. The: were nervous and unsteady ghd unti1 the last quarter were unable to Anil themselves. They showed flashes o:' form in the final period, making sun stantial gains.

Do Gastou Wanden off Wednesday Afternoon* An old negro man, Elo Gaston, who lives on Mr. Pelscr's place, just behind Dr. Goo. Dick'l residence on Broad street, has been lost since Wednesday afternoon. The old man is about 7" years old and Is a basket maker, hav? ing come here from Camden, whore he was owned in slavery times by Col. | Shannon. He has been living on Broad Street near Shot PottCh branch for a nttmber of years and he and his wife live alone. It seems that on Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock he took a bag and an axe and went into Shot Pouch branch to get some dead wood to cook supper and no defi? nite trace of him can be found since he enterd the branch, although Mr. Davis who lives further up the creek, thinks the old man came to his house about It o'clock inquiring for some one, and it is supposed he wandered off and possibly died or was lost, as 'he was weak mentally as well as phy sically. The branch was pretty wcl! gono over yesterday by searching par ties, but no trace of him found. Hi* wife Is in groat distress and any Infor? mation about him will be gladly re* ceived.
