TANKS WONDERFUL * !i
FIGHTNIG MACHINES I
fc
\ British Army Headquarters in j
France, Nov. 22.?The impression t
which existed in the minds of mai.y
soldiers that the British tanks were
freaks of little value as instruments
of war is being wiped out on account
^ of the achievements of the great army
of these mighty engines which, on
Tuesday morning, broke through the
main Hindenburg line and carried
the war miles into enemy territory.
The work which the tanks did that
day and have been doing since is one
of the most striking features of the
war. It cannot be said that they arc I
alone responsible for the tremendous!
vietnrv won liu Jim Ili-iti.i.
? -j iui infantry,
artillery and cavalry all have '
played their part. Nevertheless, the
tanks drove the entering wedge, with-1'
out which this triumph probably j (
would have been impossble.
Through Barbed Wire. I
In a few hours they lo'*o to shreds i
lines of barbed wire, the demolition i
of which by a concentration or' artil- <
lery would have required many days. 1 !
Furthermore, their employment made i
possible the arrangement of the sej|jk
. cret attack, which would have been
out of question had the artillery been
xW brought into play.
The tanks have demonstrated fully
their power of saving the lives of (
men ana in conserving ammunition.

The casualties among the crews of

It is impossible to state hoy
nany tanks were in action, but there J

t appears that less than twenty were
tilled and less than 100 wounded.
Vlany of these casualties wore due to
he fact that men left the tanks to
perform their work in the open,
where they came under the fire of
snipers.
The performance of the tanks was
the more remarkable because there
ivas only a short time to prepare for
their use. Some of the tanks had
never been in an engagement before
md the crews lacked actual fighting
experience. Moreover, it was necessary
to train the infantry to co-operite
with them.

NEW METHOD OF SELECTING
MEN FOR NATIONAL ARMY
Every man who is registered for
the draft will soon have an opportunity
of telling the military authoritiesof
the nation all about his private affairs.
The Government has prepared
an elaborate questionaire, which will
be sent to registered men about December
15, designed to make possible
the distribution of these men into
five general classes arranged in tinorder
in which they will be summoned
for service. The first draft was
necessarily a hit or miss affair, in
which the question of exemption wasdecided
for each individual by local
draft boards. Many were taken
into the army who would have been
of greater service to the nation had
they remained in civil life. But tinsecond
draft will be based on a carefully
gathered mass of information
which will make infinitely easier
the task of the draft boards.
The qucstionaire is divided into
twelve sections. The first, which
must be answered in full by all registered
men, asks information as to
the name, address, age, parentage,
schooling and occupation of the person
to whom it is sent. The second
section inquires into the; registrant's
physical fitness. This schedule enables
registrants to make a claim for
exemption on grounds of health, tho
no one, of course, will be taken into
the army without a physical examination.
Sections three to eight inclusive
make it possible to claim exemption
on such grounds as holding a
federal office, being a minister of the
irnsnn] /ir ofn/l?nf ?
? wi UIVIIIIIJ, Uelllg
already in the army or navy, .being
an alien or being a stale or municipal
official, a custom house clerk,
an artificer in an armory or navy
yard, a pilot or a mariner. Exempi
tions on some of these grounds are
not absolute, but, if allowed, (hey
! postpone the time when the registrant
will be summoned for service.
Section nine is for the member of a
religious sect which has conscientious
| scruples against war. Section ten,
which goes into much detail, permits
the registrant to specify the persons
dependent upon his earned incornt
and to offer proof of this dependency
Sections eleven and twelve, the m'osl
elaborate of all, deal with* industria
and agricultural occupation in ordei
that it may be possible to determini
how "essential" to the war necessities
of the nation is the work of the re
gistrant. Every registered man, ev
en if he was exempted by the draf
tribunals last summer, must rcturr
the questionaire sent him within s
week of the time he receives it, witl
every query which concern him full]
and accurately answered.
Because of the difficulty whicf
imany person of slight education, 01
unused to filling out detailed printet
form, may experience in complying
with the requirements of the Govern
ment, President Wilsifh has asked
"men of legal profession to offei
themselves as associate members of
.he legal advisory board to be provided
in 'each community for (he pur
lose of lldvisi nir rn?iol?n?i? ?' 'L-:
- .v^iovmiiio vi men
rights and obligations and of assisting
them in the preparation of theii
answers." So if anyone finds any
difficulty in understanding the <iuestionaire,
he can find a lawyer to tell
him, without charge, just how he
should answer. This is the first war
work which lawyers, as a profession,
have had a chance to perform the
nation.
THE HONORS OF ATROCITY
The Sultan of Turkey has graciously
conferred on the (Jerman Kaiser
the diamond star of the Iftichar Ort
dcr, Turkey's highest war decoration,
j and the Kaiser has decorated the
I Sultan with the star and chain of
the Hohenzollern Order with diamonds.
J honors and is honored by the hero of
| the Belgian and Lusitaniu murder
: honors and it honore dbv the hem <if
! Armenian massacres. No one will
, question the deserving of (he honors
or the respective fitness of the mutual
honors and recipients.
But to the intelligence and con,
science of the world a liberty loan
button, showing that an American
citizen has done his or her part in
support of our government, is a vastly
more honorable decoration than
the diamond orders of the Sultan and
me Kaiser. It signifies only a simple
patriotic duty done; hut the diamond
orders stand for colossal infamy and
murder.

IFIELD SELECTION |
I OF SEED CORN
EXPERIMENTS AND PRACTICE
PROVE METHOD TO BE
BETTER.
GREATER YIELD 15 THE RESULT
3roduction of Grain Increased Seven
to Ten Bushels an
Acre.
To make the best showing possible
it next year's corn harvest South Carolina
farmers should take the first
step this full, advises the farm crops
men of Olemson College. It must be
'.tfken in the field by selecting good
seed. Don't wait to select the seed
from the crib. It's an uncertain method?very
uncertain. A good season
ind a good soil properly treated go
1 long way to make a big corn crop
but the quality of tho seed planted is
I one of the most imnortant factor* nnn
that Is entirely within tho control of
the farmer. Weather conditions may
or may not be good, so with the natural
conditions of the soil, in some
degree dependent upon the character
of the season; proper soil preparation
and subsequent cultivations will be
somewhat dependent upon the labor
supply; but good seed in abundance
can always be had only for a little
extra effort.
The other farmer's seed corn may
be scarce, and high priced. This will
force many growers to plant seed of
inferior quality which results In a
poor stand and unthrifty plants.
Farmer Knows What He's Getting.
Experiments have shown time and
again that home-grown seed usually is
. the best seed to he had. Practical exi
perienee has proved that field select;
ed seed, if properly stored, always Is
better than crib-selected seed. Field
. selection makes it possible for Mie
farmer to compare the individual
plants and make his selection from
those producing the most grain. Tt
j is true that he can select good-looking
^ ears from the crib, but he does not
' know whether they are produced by
r high-yielding plants or low-yielding
u plants, by early plants or late plants,
s No definite idea whatsoever can be
. had of the previous productivity of
the seed. If properly performed the
^ yield of corn Is usually increased from
! seven to ten bushels an acre by field
1 I
| selection, sometimes it's more.
1 ! What the South Carolina farmer
1 wants next year is the greatest
' | amount of grain possible to the acre.
j All the directions for selecting seed
i corn In the field may be sumnvd up
r logemor in one good rule: Select oars
1 from plants that yield more urn in
r than surrounding plants grown under
. 1 the same conditions.
| 1 How to Go About It.
i Sling a sack over the shoulders and
[, walk down the rows, plucking those
.'ears which are considered desirable?
..ears borne on vigorous plants growing
. under average conditions and which
have readied maturity. Also, it is
, host to select those ears having
irooping tips and borne at a height of
' about three and a half feet. The ears
d'uuld then be stored in a dry place
I where they will be free from insectr
( ind rodents.

l sufiereil with an awful misery in my back
i and sides My left side was hurting me
; all the time. The misery was something
i awful.
I could not do anything, not even sleep
at night. It kept me awake most of the

nothing did me any good or relieved me
until i took Cardui. . .
I 1 was not able to do any of my work
for one year and I got worse all the time,
was confined to my bed off and on. I got
, so bad with my back that when I stooped
i dow n 1 was not ab'.c to straighten up
. again ... I decided I would try Cardui
j . . . By time I had taken the entire boltle
' I was feeling pretty good and could
| straighten up and my pains were nearly
all gone.
I shall always praise Cardui. 1 coni

female complaints, Cardui may be just
what you need. Thousands of women
