Columbia.? Tim Food Administration is extremely desirous of securing economy in the consumption of all kinds of meats without the reinstallation of meatless days at the present. The seasonal decline in the volume of animals coming to market is now In progress and its volume will undoubtedly further decrease during the next few months, as is usual, but the probable amount of such decrease is yet obscure, says the Food Administration. A statement given out here today, by William Elliott, Food Administrator for South Carolina, and signed by Herbert Hoover, says: "The necessities for shipment unroau 10 our army and allies are very large and amount to roughly 75,000,000 pounds of meat and meat products of all kinds per week against a pre-war normal of less than 15,000,000 pounds. Even with these large shipments the allies have found it necessary to reduce consumption of all kinds of meats and put it to an average of about one and one-quarter pounds per week per person in order that no further draft may be made upon shipping that is now required for the transport of our soldiers. "Our consumption of meats is about three and one-quarter pounds per week per person, and if we are to make both ends balance during the short marketing season, we must have further economy. "If the public will continue rigorous elimination of waste and will further economize by reducing the quantity prepared for each meal of all kinds of meats and poultry, more particularly beef, and will restrict their purchases accordingly, the Food Administration hopes that the necessary balance can be maintained. A general adherence to these recommendations will avoid the inconvenience which arises in many directions from meatless days and will cause less interference in the daily preparation of food." WHEAT SITUATION SERIOUS PROBLEM PmbId Aalr*H <* Clu? II? Wheat Braad Until After Next Harvest. Columbia.?The wheat situation is the moat serious in the food - nly of the Allied -world. ? This word comes from Washington te the Food Administration at Columbia. The statement continues: "Our harvest was less than estimated; needs of the Allies are greater than were calculated; losses by sea and by battle have been heavier than pr ?e anticipated; less comes from the Argentine than had heen hoped; tenser demands on shipping space restrict ships more than ever to the shortest haul and the tightest bulk." Until the noxt harvest the crisis will not have been passed. The call is therefore issued that all who can and all who will go without wheat?give UP wheat bread entirely?uatil the next harvest, as the club v-omen of South Carolina have pledged themselves to do; that those who do not go on an entirely wheatless ration cut down the consumption of wheat by at least one-half, and that households keep within a weekly allowance for each person of one and one-half pounds of flour and all other wheat products. SUGAR CERTIFICATES IN GROCERS' HANDS Columbia.?Grocers throughout the State are now being supplied with blank certificates, upon the signing of which persons desiring sugar for can uiug anu prr?(;rvniK may uumill ine same, i*he grocers are being supplied with these certificates by the county food administrators, who are is turn supplied by the State administrator. The certificate system is used to make sure that home canners may obtain sufficient sugar to preserve perishable fruits and at the same time to place a check upon those who would endeavor to obtain unreasonable quantities for household consumption. THE IRISH POTATO BECOMES WAR RATION Columbia.?"Did you eat a potato #ith your breakfast?" This is the question that the Food Administration is asking of every person in South Carolina. Hapsburg Liebs says that the homely Irish potato has cut. is cutting and will continue to cut almost as great a figure in this world war as the submarine. In Germany, it la said, potato** have been planted even between the ties of railroad tracks. Potatoes have kept the people of Germany alive. Probably Germany would have caved in except for the potato. The argument is put forth by the Pood Administration that if the potato will work for Germany, it will likewise work against Germany; and considering that food will win the war, there is n oarticle of food that may he prepared in so many ways as the potato. WKAR ONLY BLUE j" JEANS DURING WAR I Denver, Colo., May 22.? (Correspondence of the Associated Press)? Edwin A. Brown, Denver sociologist and reputed a millionaire, author of d stories of men who are "down and S out," as a measure of war time econ- ci omy, has announced that he will wear ti only suits of blue jeans, until the war ends. He already has appeared in his new garb at two Sunday services at 0, the First Presbyterian church, one of (j, the most fashionable in Denver. Mr. Brown's lirst appearance at church caused more than ordinary attention to his clean and neatly ironed _ "war suit." It drew almost as much attention as the sermon his fellow parishioners said. Mr. Brown says he made the change from the conventional clothing of a man of his position to be "square with ' i,;.. : '? *1 UIO CUlldClUIICt'. "It was one way I found of purchasing a Liberty bond," he said. "A suit of the best cloth costs as much or more than a Liberty bond. I felt ^ the boys in the trenches give no ' thought to what they wear or eat and that I could do likewise and use the ^ difference in the cost of my clothing in buying bonds." _ The Denver man has two suits of the same material. One he calls his "society suit." This one always is 0j neatly laundered. The other, of the q same material, he uses for work in his ^ war garden. It is of the same material only not so well ironed. It con- sists of trousers and jumper, of the pattern worn mostly by railroad enginemen and machinists. . "The best home-manufactured q, denim can be bought, overalls and j jumper for $4.50 a suit," said Brown, ^ "and a splendid quality of khaki for $<> a suit, I shall wear the denim and neither shall I walk in the alleys because of it." T JONES VILLE NEWS pi ol Jonesville, May 22.?I spent last Saturday in Union and as I walked up Main street to the court house I admired the beautiful buildings and the white way and my mind reverted (jj t it fVio onrliar /lone f fV?/? ww v??w vuiuvi u?jo ui wic cax j%y acivcit"! 1? ties when I came to this county. When q Main street was almost entirely built a of wooden houses, old and dark look- p ing, then the Confederate monument stands as a mark of devotion to our F heroes of the war Between the States. This was erected by the efforts of the di noble and patriotic daughters of the T Confederacy.

EAT LESS CANDY THIS SN'MMER (1 si Philadelphia, May 22.?(Corr- q spondence of the Associated Press)? f.i The ideal "food administration lifr- ei ure" has been defined in a statement issued by Jay Cooke, 3rd local food administrator. "Eat less candy this summer," says J Mr. Cooke in his heart-to-heart talk ' with women. "The less sufrar you eat the more slender and graceful you n will become. Besides, you are con- <M serving food elements for our Allies and fighting the Hun while you stay at home. ' d; "There are hundreds of thousands T of children and young people, of both.T sexes, in Philadelphia, who can dis-'ni play their patriotism only by acts of ]) self-denial. I suggest to these young people that they display their patriotism by cutting down their allowance (|. of candy, chocolate sundaes, bon-bons -p and the various luxuries manufac- qtured almost entirely from sugar." ni The new sugar rulings, according Q( to Mr. Cooke, have been designed solely to give the housewife and the canner an opportunity to put up a ^ large quantity of fruits this summer. ^ "The fact is," said Mr. Cooke, "that the sugar situation is not at all en- ^ couraging, and 1 anticipate that some stringent rules may be promulgated 1)1 after the canning season is over." Top dressing for corn and cotton ai should be made early in the life of st plants, preferably at the time the to cotton plant is three or four inches al high and the corn under knee high. pi CANDIDATE CARDS I I ri FOR STATE SENATE.
