Mr. ."Tanks, the government cotton grader of the Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Ag riculture reported to the Sumter Chamber of Cornerce yesterday for duty on the Sumter cotton market, and will be ready to cut, sample, and grade cotton beginning Monday, Aug ust 26th, at the quarers of the Tri County Farmers' Cotton Markeing As sociation, No. 12 East Liberty street, next door to the Citizens' Meat Mar ket. His wife and three children will soon arrive here to remain with him during the cotton season, as Mr. Banks will be here until next April. The cotton growers will do well to have all of their cotton sampled and graded by this disinterested, expert cotton grader who has had years of i \ experience as a grader and buyer be fore entering the government service, even though cotton is to be held and stored for sale twelve months from now. Every bale of cotton is carefullv graded according to grade and lengch of staple, listed in a book, tagged, and, the owner of the cotton is given a du plicate grade card of the card placed on the bale, giyjng length of staple, grade, etc. A farmer then knows just what hi.s COtton grades for either immediate or future sale, and he can sell it intel ligently and secure the highest market prices therefor. No charge "s made for cutting, sampling, or grading, and all farmers are entitled to this service free o:' cost. In order, however, to keep a gov ernment cottoh "grader on the market the Tri-County Cotton Marketing As sociation has to furnish a store fo> the grader, a clerk, and a cotton cut ter. and janitor, lights, fuel, etc This of course costs something in $dd&ipn to t)ie guarantee of one jrhou ;and dollars by tjie association to h-2lp Pay $h? grader's salary. therefore, jifce association aske that a number of f^mers whe feel inclined to do so. J ^1 join jtjie association and pay one dollar a year dues, although this if] noj e^rap.ulsory in order to have your cotton graded and listed and tagged As'this grader and the association save eyery farmer who has his cot ton graded several dollars per bale o( causes them to get at least from one to three dollars per bale more for. their cotton than they would get if they didn't know the grades of their epjt^on, any cotton farmer * a we)} afford to contribute one dplla* In or ifcat a few farmers will not have po pujt up $he entire one thousand dol Farmers lioni any county may have their eottpn cut, sampled, and graded ' ahd may he niembers of the associa tion also.

Pleasant Grove School district Jn Shjioh towpshrp manifested patriot-; ic interest in the community uplift and public health meeting at that: place' yesterday. The meeting was held in Pleasant firpye Baptist church, Farm Dem onstrator J. Frank Williams presid ing, and stating the objects of the ?campaign for improvement of rural sanitary conditions. i Rev. R. S. Truesdale, Mrs. John fi.. Sumter, and Mr. E. I. Reardoni were'the; speakers. Mr. Truesdale! was at his very best and veiy feel ingly, eloquently, and convincingly showed the moral and patriotic duty of tjie people to get busy and or ganize for decreasing preventable and absolutely unnecessary communicable' diseases and premature deaths. His remari:s about the moral side: of individual and public healh and the evil results to society from young men leading immoral lives were very comprehensively- and forcibly deliv ered, v Mrs. John R. Sumter represented Misses Keels and Martin, the home, demonstration agents, who were un avoidably absent, and her talk re garding the value of the home dem onstration woj&, the bearing that wholesome cooking, clean households, personal hygiene, and keeping food: from being contaminated by flies w of great value to and much appre ciated by lie*- intelligent audience. Mrs. Sumter succeeded in interesting the ladies to the extent that they then and there organized a home demon stration club with Mrs. W. \V. Cun ningham as president, and Mrs. E. \Y. Gibbs as secretary. The gentlemen present promised to get busy trying to have sanitary, fly-proof closets in stalled in that district. Jiffr. a#d Mrs- Cunningham, two leaders for social, spiritual, and pa triotic activities1 delightfully enter-, tahied the speakers with one of Mip. Cunningham's famous dinners, and .finished up the program and th" splendid menu with an abundance of Ice cream and cake. - On Tuesday of this week, the Sur gical Dressings Department received a. special rush order from headquar ters. A call Xor workers was pub lished, and the following day the workroom was crowded. The next day, there appeared in this paper a word .of thanks to those who had helped so efficiently, with a warning tiiat.the crowded workroom must con tinue. Since then, the workroom ha? been almost emnty. Are you goim; to help with this ^rreat duty, or are you going to "sit back" and rest be cause you have heard a word of praise? It is hoped that this rush order may be finished in time; but it cannot be unless you are there every day?every hour you can spare. The city schools do not open un til thre middle of September and school boys and girls pot otherwise employed cou! . be or great assistance to the farmers in the vicinity of the city by picking cotton during the next three weeks. There should not be great difficulty in organizing cotton picking squads and enlisting the inter est of several hundred school chil dren. m r FROM OVERSEAS. W. W. Bof^rt?e|d Writes to the Sum ter FpTks ant! Gives Interesting News of Several Sumter Boys. Somewhere in France, July 2Sth, 1918. To the Sumter Daily Item. Just a few lines from the Sumter boys in France. We are all well and in good health. But would like very much to see old Sumter again. We are just back from a short trip to the Irenches and the Game Cock city boysi did some line work while there, going [on patrols and always bringing back a few Germans and machine guns. It is great sport in No Man's Land at night with shells bursting all around you. But after the first night we paid no attention to it, but rather enjoyed it. Just a few lines in conclusion as' to the different kinds of work: Lieut. Edward Broford is doing supply ac countant work for the third battalion; Mott Lawrence is the ration man for headquarters company, while Jo" King is doing a little hard work with; the barbed wire. Peter Gallagher is at present enjoying a fine week's sta,} isi Paris; it is a pity that he has to come back the first of August* to do a little heavy work. We all fee) real sorry for him, but such is fate. Louie DesChamps who is from Pine wbbd and one of the old S. L. I. boys and myself are still at our post anc? making the best of a hard campaign. With best regards to all of the. Sumter folks from the boys. Willie W. Boartn'eld. opporttjnitty to become en " gineerV The navy department has establish ed a training school for the training of engineering officers at Hoboken, N J., in* which' applicants are enlisted ?s chief machinist's mates and whc are pbmmisi'oned as ensigns in the naval reserve when they satisfactory complete the course.

Harvin, Aug. 22.?T.he deteripratior in the cotton crop in this section since the report as of July 25 is ful ly SO per cent. The your .*orn croi was of right maturity to be greatly benefited by copious rains the latte.. part of July but the excessive ab normal heat in first half of Augus did great damage io all crops. Th banormal temperature has cause?, cotton to open immaturely and gener al picking is in progress. The farmers of this section wil. greatly reduce cotton acreage anoth er year and plant more grain, owing to the conscription of such a large percentage of man power for war pur roses. Some of the farms are almos; depleted of man power on account oi being drafted into the service. Witt; the extension of the age limit the de pletion will be all the greater. Then is apparent determination oft the par of farmers and business men to hold their cotton for a more equitable and just price. With the most ordinar> finished cotton products being manu faet?red on a basis of tfO to 70 cent the pound for raw cotton, and the cost per pound is 37 1-4 cents U make the crop of 191S after caret'u computation by such excellent autho rity as Col. W. W. Morrison, cottor statistician for Herman &. Wolf, cot ton exporters, of New Orleans, an? the further fact that there are 7,000, 000 balos deficit in the past three years and it being wvll known that Liverpool and New York speculator! in combination with the British American Spinners Association have for the past fifty years practically dic tated the cotton market of this coun try, the Southern cotton g. ower feels and knows he should have some equity and consideration in the transaction an/1 passing ?' from his hands of the commodity he produces and to this end those who can possi bly hold their cotton and cotton seed will do so.

We are near the Alps, so you know what they are like. That is where we have to do our bit. We have been to the front already, and put fourteen days in the front line ditches, that is what we cull them over here. We were in a couple of thunder showers of shot and shell, but God brought me through safely so cur prayers were answered. It was like our noisy Fourth of July the few days I was there. We are back again for more drill ing, then off we go to the front again. I thimc we have traveled almost all over France. 1 will have wonders to tell you when I return. We set new things every day. I will be able to speak French toe before I get back if we are here much longer. I am keeping in good spirits and will do the best I can to save my country and you. ? I haven't hit a bed since arriving in France, just going from town tc town, sleeping in hay mows, and ii. barns in little villages.
