"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. Hero Is a de?
mocracy whose people are voluntarily
conserving food, and who are abso
lutely united und unanimous in doing
MO.
"As to the necessity of the pledge
Oard and its uceeptanec by the bean
of every household in Ameriea: From
the above it Is plain that in order to
win thi-t war we must eonserve food
and the place that the individual fam?

WINNSBORO WINS.
pefeatg Sumter High School in Hard
Fought (Mine by Score of It to 0.
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.

AGED NEGRO LOST.
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.
