Many local boards are not acting properly on individual induction orders, known as "competent orders" under Section 179 of the selective regulations, reads a statement transmitted by Capt. R. E. Carwile, officer in charge of the regulations in this State, from the provost general to the local i boards. Registrants should be im- I mediately given a physical exainina- i tion by local boards as provided by ' Section 150. Boards must act on such orders regardless of whether the registrant is in the current quota or not. Under Section 150 and registrant not an alien enemy, regardless of whatever class he may have been placed, may, at his own request be inducted into the military service. Where the registrant comes within the current quota, credit is given the board at the place of mobilization under the ruling of Section 179. vv The governor is advised by provost ^ general that in many of the States local boards have not begun the physieal examination of the registrants jj, which have been placed in Class 1. A jn bulletin, issued under date of Decern- ? ber 12, advised that this should be stated at once, and all local boards ' that have not yet begun the physical examination of registrants in class 1 are ordered to proceed immediately. ?Columbia State. ? h WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD. ' The 1917 wheat crop in France was '' less than half normal, using the crop of 1913 as a basis of comparison, j v There was a shortage of 170,000,000 t< bushels, or 93.3 per cent. The potnto J] crop was only within one-third of nor- (j nial. The sugar heet crop showed a deficit of 07.9 per cent. Her meat herds in the earlv fall showed a short-i ? iifjo of l.S(MMHH) animals. ) ' Those are a few of the reasons tl America mast feed her associates in n the war. They are no longer able to feci themselves, ami unless we come p to tlie rescue are face to face with starvation. And starvation meuns de- ^ feat In the war. k Remove The Cause n Of Your Cough ?

According C a his story Ensign Kdylenko, the g !olsheviki C'onimander-in-Chief, eneavored to save General Dukhonin T rom the mob but his efforts were 1' navailing and the Russian Commaner was struck down by a sailor and 4 hen run through with a dozen bayoets. The murder took place after the lolsheviki had captured the head- S uarters of the Russian Army at lohiley and followed General Duhonin's refusal to request the Gerlan Army officials to enter into an 1 rmistice with the Rolsheviki. The o leneral correspondent the General f< pneared at the window of his rail- n fay carriage. t] "Throw us your equalettes!" shriek- ? tl the soldiers, "or we'll kill you," h nd they shouldered their rifles. C Krylenko begged the general to .A ive way to them, but Dukhonin rejsed. T "They can go to the deuce," he cried r et them kill me!" A bullet whistled by, breaking: the 4 -indow, then a second. General dintzeff went up to Dukhonin and J ently took off his opaulettes. There | rere thrown to the mob and were uickly torn to pieces and for a momnt he thought he was saved. Then handful of sailors jumped into the arriage. They seized Dukhonin by ie shoulders and pushed him to the ? nd of the coach and then on the platarm. Krylenko ran after them. The eneral's appearance caused a great proar. P "Kill him right out!" cried. "Kere- *( sky and Kornilolf got ofT. Men like li im must be killed at once." G As the mob pushed closer and closer ? pon the general, Kryonko stormed ^ nd shouted, but no one took any v otice. With a single blow the gen- o ral was struck down by a tall sailor P rom the rebel cruiser Aurora. Dukonin got on his feet again once, his a treaming with blood. He tried to t' oeak but a dozen bavonets were run e hough him, and then blows and kicks rere Tained upon his body. c The soldier fought for his clothing u earing it from him. The corpse, ^ tripped bare, was set up against a t ailway carriage and the mob, laugh- j, ng like madmen, started a gruesome h ame. Sailors, Red Guards, and n oldiers made snow and mud halls and lung them at the general's head. "I could no longer look on" writes he Matin's correspondent, "and dash- jj d back into the carriage, where I ound Krylenko sitting in a corner, lis face in his hands. When he lifted ^ lis head I saw he was pale as death. lx>ok at them,' he said in a wisper. c There's no holding them in now.

ARM PROSPERITY IS HOME MADE' an Be Continued Indefinitely In South If Farmers Do Their Part, Says Hastings t f Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?That the c resent wave of "farm prosperity" in le South is "home made" and can be ontinued indefinitely is the interestlg statement made recently by H. -. Hastings, President of both the outheastern Fair Association and the eorgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Castings said: "Unthinking people are ery apt to attribute the present wave f farm prosperity in the South to the resent high price of cotton rather tian to its real cause." "Naturally, the high price has helped great deal, but the real reason for tie money being in the farmer's pockt or bank is that when the 1917 cotsn crop was made the farmer owned . instead of owing it to supply merhant at the end of the season, as was sually the case in times past. Never efore had the farmers of the South ome as close to feeding themselves, heir families and their live stock rom their own acres as in 1917. They ad need of few store purchases and lade few or no debts." "If the 1917 crop had been made on he old basis of plant all cotton and >uy all food at present prices there rould be supply merchant prosperity, ut little or none on the farms." "Naturally, tho temptation is great 1 o increase cotton acreage and de- i rease food and grain acreage in 1918. * "he man who does it is foolish. Tho ' fhole world is short of food and this ' ondition will not only continue but 1 :et worse as long as the war lasts. t lontinued high prices for food is as cerain as sunrise each morning." "Real money in hand farm prosper- i ty is absolutely dependent on the irowing on one's own acres of all the ood, meat, grain and forage needed or home needs. Once that is provided for, every other available acre an safely be planted in cotton or other * :asli crop. The larger part of the cost c >f making cotton or other cash crop is \ ii me roon, grain ana rorage conaum- j id in making it. "These items 'home made' can be iroduced at from one-third to one- . lalf the price the merchant charges ^ in4Ui?T>e production of them means ust that much reduction in the cost 1 if making the cash crop. "Farm prosperity in the South can ind will be permanent just as long as >ur farmers continue their farm oper- * it ions on a 'home made* basts."

Whittle, Farm i Upon those whom the United States ias not called from the farm, rests i great obligation of feeding and Jothing the liberty armies of the vorld. The greater the crops the larder the armies will be able to trlke. What can hinder the farmer from naklng maximum crops? Will It be lack of market and a good price? >fo, the market and price prospects ire good. Will it be for lack of money or credt with which to buy tools, seeds, ferilizers or other necessary supplies? <Jo, money is plentiful and credit is ;ood. Will it be for lack of labor? Labor s scarce without doubt In fact, the ihortage of labor is practically the >nly great obstacle the farmer has to neet in producing maximum crops. If le could have abundance of labor he iould Increase the cultivated acreage Lnd by proper fertilization he couid >rlng in a very great crop. But in lew of the lack of labor what must le do? He can do two things to overcome Via lahnr ehnrtana C2 mV t 1 ippllcations of fertilizers, which will ncrease the yield without enlarging :he cultivated acreage. 8econd, use abor saving machinery. But overcoming the labor shortage s not all that la necessary to obtain naximum crops. Here is a schedule >f important things that must be done t>y every farmer to get maximum srops: 1.

Usa only the best possible seed, preferably pedigreed seed, from a responsible plant breeder. 4. Make liberal use of fertilizers, and use manure whenever obtainable to supplement the fertilizers. 5. Give thorough and frequent cultivation to the tilled crops, preferably shallow and frequent cultivation. 6. Harvest savingly and protect the stored crops from pesta. While it is true that everything the farmer has to buy is h}gh in price. It is also true that whatever the farmer has to sell is also high in price. The fertilizer people figure out that their products have not advanced In price as much as the price of crops, and that as a matter of fact, cotton, corn, peanuts, tobacco and the like will buy more fertilizer now than ever. Which being true it follows that it will pay iioner nuw id uhu 11 man mrmenj, for the Increase for which they are responsible will be worth more. Another thing that the farmer must bear in mind if he would be sure to | raise a bumper crop and that is, to : place his orders early for everything that is to be shipped by ra^l. The railroads are hard put to it and do not afford assurance of prompt ship- % ments. Orders placed late are more than likely to be too late to be delivered in time. Even if shipping were good, there would be nothing gained by delay. Prices are not likely to be lower. In fertilizers, especially there is a scarcity of materials and advancing prices, making it improbable that the fertiliser will be cheaper. M. to 1 P. M. at J. E. Minter's store; Croess Keys, 2 P.
