Mr. Kohn's hdter follows: Colombia, S. C.< Mart h 20. 1 >ear Fdior: Will you please make a special ap OOOJ lor the use of Irish potatoes?

Irish potatoes make the boat possible food and art quite cheap. If the local market is not supplied, the Foot/ Administra? tion ofllee will gladly advise where they are availahle in large quantities in South Carolina. The overplus ol lush potatoes may he a serious h:m dleap to the coming crops and should !??? consumed now. Will you help us BtrOSS the Import? ance um using the potatoes and saving ? heat I Yours sincerely, August Kohn, < 'hail man Conservation _ i pon receipt Of this letter from Mr. Kehn the editor of The Item wrote bltd that while the policy of the food administration had this paper's hearty J support, that when urging the puh lic to make use of substitutes for wheat consideration should he given to the current prices of the suggested suhstitutes, the greater nuiul.tr of Whloh are selling at materially hlgtlOl prices than the hest whe.it Hour. The high prices of suhstitutes not only pre rout many from using them, hut work a real hardship on those who try to carry out the recommendations of the Food Administration. It was suggested that the Food Administra? tion take Rome steps to regulate the price of wheat suhstitutes, whih hushing the wheat saving programme. \a a case in point, in connection with his letter urging the greater use ol Irish potatoes his attention was call-j ?d to the flSOt that Irish potatoes fori table use were selling at retail in Sumter at 70 to 75 cents a peck, a OftOi that rendered their extensiv. sss Impossible, In reply to IhlS letter Mr. Kohn I wired as follows: ' Concerno.;; your letter: Kocoid idvertisea the Community Market | selling Irish potatoes 4 0 cents per peck, Penland -I", cents per peck, j Anyone in your community can buy Irish potatoes f. o. h.

The meeting in Trinity Method int Church In the Interest of the Tuber? culosis Camp was attended by an aud? ience that almost completely lilled the large auditorium and Ih the Sunday school room which had boon thrown Into the church proper there wore a large number' of colored citizens who are evidencing an interest as great as that of the whiles in the establish? ment and equipment of the camp for the treatment of the unfortunate of both races who fall victim to the dis? ease. Dr. Bnyder delivered an Inspiring and eloquent address (hat was appro priate to the occasion ami the bus InOSS that brought the large crowd togetln r. The keynote ol his talk was service for the bone lit, the uplift ,the succor, the happi? ness of all the people. He spoke ol the quickening of the national con sciousness that enables men and wo men of all see lions and all creeds t< think and act in terms of humanitv and not as heretofore as individuals This I rend of thought, he said, i.-. characteristic of the period in which we are now living; that in the very recent past, as most of those of ma? ture years very well remember, tin dominant note in general thought was tin- individual idea*that eac h man wat responsible to himself and for him? self ami Unit so long as he did out di? rectly Violate some specific law, In need not concern himself with tin effects of his eourse of conduct upon his neighbor, his community or the nation. But now people are think? ing in terms of service and they are beginning to put these thoughts int( being so that we are co-ope rating ti help others and hy helping others EU individuals we are helping the com? munity as a whole. The ability tc work in co-operation with others, he said, is the manifestation of the high? est type of Intelligence, and the v/orlc is just now rising to this intelligent at? titude in ehVling with matters of gen erat moment, ^fhe application of thi: idea to the plan to establish and main tain the tuberculosis camp for the pre? vention of disease and the alleviatioi of suffering in Bumter county was s< patent that all could see it.

Ft'KTHER REDUCTION ASKEI) IJV HOOVER THAT SCANT SUP? PLY MAY LAST UNTIL Tili: NEXT HARVEST. Stop Absolutely Necessary to Ward Off Famine rrom tlie Allies, Knys the Food Administration. Washington, March 23.?Further reduction in the consumption ol Wheat was asked ol" the public tonight by the food administration that the scant supplies available before tin next harvest may be stretched to meet the needs of the army, consumers and the Allies. Every American Is urged to cut his average ration of wheat by 50 per (?ud. which would reduce the total normal consumption of 42,000,000 bushels a month to 21,000,00. That gives a ration of not more than 1 l-~ pounds of wheat products weekly for each person. Flour sales will be cut to one-eighth of a barrel for a town consumer and to one-quarter of a barrel for a coun? try customer, that retailers' stocks may be distributed to as great, a num? ber as possible. The wheat content, of bakers' bread will be reduced to 7." per cent on April 14, which increases by 5 per cent, the amount of substitutes that must be used. Sacrifice in the wheat ration will mtail no hardship in the opinion of food administration otllcials because the supply of potatoes, corn, oats ami inilk is ample to maintain health. The full BerlOUSneSS of the wheat situation, ami some of the difficulties .vith which the food administration has had to contend in warding oil famine from the Allies became, known ?vith the announcement of the new plana With] food rations in France and iOnglund cut to the utmost, there has >een constant danger that the United States could not meet even minimum demands because of the transport ?handicaps. The breakdown in the 'ailroads upset the corn exportation tehedule so thai on March I there iad been sent abroad only II.ana,. IQ0 bushels, against the 64,000,000 ^UDhels of last year, and the 100, 100,000 bushels which it was hoped to tend, Accordingly the foreign popu ations have been dependent on wheat. The t'ood administration's statement ollows: "If we arc to furnish the Allies with in- necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from llOW tntil the m\t harvest, ami this is nilitury necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,06-iJOOo >ushels, or 50 per cent of our normal listributlon to the army and for spc ?iai cases, leaving for general con? sumption approximately i 1-2 lbs. ol vhcat products Weekly a person Many of our consumers are depend- | nt upon bakers' bread. Such bread I oust be durable and therefore re ruires a larger proportion of whe u ( products than cereal breads baked in he household, our army und navy .'OQUlre a full allowance. The well o-do in our population can make rreater sacriliecs in the consumption if wheat products than can the poor. "With improved transportation coa? litions we now have available a su. ilUt of potatoes We also have in the ipring months a surplus of milk and ive have ample corn and oats for hu nan consumption, "To effect needed saving of win it ve are wholly dependent upon the i /OlUntary assistance of the American icople and we ask that the following ?nies shall be observed: ''Householders to use not to exceed l total of I l-'J pOUndl per week Ol .vheat producta per person.

We also aak bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchased beyond 7? per cent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months pi lor io March 1, "Manufacturers using who.1t pro? ducts for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. "Then' is no limit upon the use of other cereals, Hours and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato Hour, etc. "Manx thousands of families throughout the land are now using no wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooklttg pur poses, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households can not. subsist perfectly Well with the use of less wheat prod? uct* than one and one-half pounds a w eek, "In order that We shall he aide to make the wheat experts that are ab? solutely demanded Of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the Allies and our own army, propose to supplement the volui ary cooperation of the public by a further limitation of distribution, ami we shall plaoS ;it once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis? tribution as possible. With the arri? val of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions " COMPANY MASTERED IN. sumter Company the Largest thus! Far Accepted for First itegimcnt S. j C. Reserve Militia.
