YOUR RECORD WILL BE PUBLISHED There has lately developed a desire on the part of the people to know who in this section is supporting the country by contributions and loans. It was because of requests that the contributions in Chesterfield to the Red Cross were recently published. Already people are asking that a list of all subscriptions to W. S. S. be published in The Advertiser. This request will also be complied with. We hope that every man in the county will bear in mind that what he docs between this and the 28th of June will become a permanent public record, known to all men. ~~ Every man, woman and child should so act that they will not be ashamed for their record to be scrutinized by those who have made real sacrifices. That was a wholesome act of the country's courtmartial the other day in sentencing 11 privates to prison for terms varying from 18 months to 20 years. A few lessons like that will serve to teach some folks that they cannot share the blessings of liberty without also sharing its obligations. The embargo on flour, which has been in effect in South Carolina sincu May 15, upon order of William Elliott, food administrator for the State, will be lifted, effective .June 18. JAIL FOR SALE There is an odd but very significant advertisement in a Bristol, Virginia, paper. Here it is: "For sale?A jail, complete with steel plates, bars and keys. In good condition, but present owners have! no use for it since the town has gone dry. Write to city of Bristol, Va., or to Council R. D. Smith. Sometimes we hear that prohibition does not prohibit but that vacant jail in Virginia is one among many arguments to the contrary. I , THEY ARE OUT OF SHOE LEATHER That the Germans arc not thriving as well as they claim is shown by many incidences that leak out thru the newspapers of that country. One of the most significant is an extract from the Zeitung, of Essen, Ger many. That paper is quoted as lollows: | "Go bare-footed this summer and help the Fatherland. In view of the alarming scarcity of leather, rich and poor alike should dispense with bootfr and shoes. Neither old nor young need be ashamed to walk barefoot anywhere?at home, in the streets, at school or in the church." An exchange says that if the Germans had nothing more to be ashamed of than going barefoot they would indeed be a happy people. But after the atrocities of the last four years it will not and much to their shame to go unshod. KAISF.R RILL AND BILL SHAKESDC ADC It is said that the Kaiser is having a fine edition of Shakespeare printed. If this is true, and it seems to be well autheticated, here is one of Shakespeare's tributes to England that the Kaiser will probably omit from his German edition of the great poet and dramatist: "This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, . This earth of magesty, this seat of Mars, Thus other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a mote defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,? This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England." Your common sense will tell you that you cannot buy now all the things you bought before we had a war to win. Your buying must be re stricted and your savings invested in j THEY SHALL NOT PASS (By Allison Brown of the Vigilantes) They shall not pass, W hileBritain's sons draw breath.

LEVER MAKES COMPARISOh Congressman Lever, chairman o the Committee on Agriculture, hai never failed to look after the inter eats of the farmers. There was re cently some discussion in Congress a to the merits of a bill making an ap propriation for the encouragemen and production of cottage cheese. Thi proposition was opposed by Mr. Cox of Indiana, when Mr. Lever vigorous ly defended the proposed appropria tion. We quote a few paragraphs o his defense of the measure: "Mr. Chairman, one of the pecu liarities in this body is that wheneve a bill is brought before the committei recommending a comparatively smal appropriation for anything touchini agriculture there is always raised i tremendous howl against it. I havi seen pension bills carrying $150,000, 000 pass this body in ten minutes o debate. I have seen the Post Offic appropriation bill, carrying ove $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 pas practically without discussion. I hav seen the great naval bill take th same course. I suspect that in a fe> days we will have the Army appro priation bill, carrying not million but billions; and there will not be single little chirp about it from thos gentlemen who are so solicitous o '.he funds in the Treasury. It is onl when the Acriciilt.iirnl rnmmitto comes in that the watchdogs fror certain large committees in thi Mouse who would like to control a the appropriation that Congres makes get into action and gc busy. I have seen it take plac here for many, many years. I se the evidences of it again this aftei noon." Replying to the objection that wc men of the country know how t make cottage cheese, Mr. Lever said "There is hardly a rural woman i the United States who does not kno^ how to make cottage cheese, but ha not had it brought to their attcntia that by utilizing the milk, much o which wasted on the farm the can save meat that can be sv:*t i our boys who are dying in th trenches across the water." THE ONE CROP AGRICULTURE. 1. The one-crop system is unsaf economically because it depends upo crop conditions and market cond; tions for financial success; a failur of weather as well as failure of mai ket brings ruin. All the eggs are i one basket. 2. A one-crop system of agricu lure aoes not maintain soil lertuit because it gives no opportunity t restore humus, nitrogen and othe plant food elements to the soil b the use of crop rotation. 3. A one-crop system of agricul ture generally fails to take livestoc into account and therefore does no produce either the meat of the cour try or the manure necessary to so fertility, nor does it provide othe livestock for the utlization of th waste products of the farm and th . .ing of waste lands productive. 4. The one-crop system is unecc nomic because it involves long peri ods of idleness for farm machinerj equipment and labor and does no utilize capital, land and labor to th fullest possible extent. Under a high ly diversified system of agriculture each laborer, with a full complemen of tools and teams, wil handle mor land and have a greater income pe man than where the full attention i devoted to the one crop. 5. Under a one-crop system o agriculture the return for labo comes but once per year, andj i builds up a system which involves th payment of the heaviest possible pro fits for the necessary supplies of th farm, compelling the farmer to sel his product at the lowest wholesal price, while he buys his supplies a the highest retail price. Diversifiei agriculture produces the food on th farm, requires a minimum of high priced supplies and saves the mone; from the cash crops as profits. 6. i>astly, the one-crop system li mits knowledge, narrows citizenshi] and does not foster home buildingBradford Knapp, Chief, Office of Extension Work At this time of labor shortage, th< advantage of co-operation in the us< of farm machinery ought to be con sidered by every farmer. There i: not ging to be enough machinery t< supply the demand this spring, ant before buying anything every farmei ought to ask himself if there is no' some neighbor or kinsman who might join him in its purchase and use Farmers who have improved machfn ery and can rent it out when not ir use on their own farms will alsc serve the country by announcing s fair rata per day for hiAng it out.? The Progressiva Farmer. N ' ' . ' .' 'v, ^ HOW TO GROW FALL G | IRISH POTATOES Clemson College, S. C.?I have ^ grown fall potatoes successfully for ten years, making from 100 to 340 bushels per acre. I use the Lookout 1 Mountain variety. Potatoes grown one fall are kept over and used for T seed the following fall. I do not grow this potato at all in the spring. I usually use land that has been in grain. As soon as grain is off the land I break two or three times, har- a rowing after each breaking. About ^ ten days before planting I put in fertilizer, but no stable manure. I ^ pui mis on grain. uougn manure J Makes potatoes scabby. J use from v [ 6U0 to 800 pounds of 6-4-8 fertilizer j to an acre, mixed well in the furrow and then plow out middles. Then 1 as soon after July 20 as there is a > season in the ground I plant in three- s foot rows, dropping potatoes (which v are eat in rather large pieces and ' are already sprouted) about 12 f inches apart. I open planting fur- c s row four or five inches deep, follow- ? - ing immediately with potatoes, then i - covering at once. This is important, j. s as it prt,vcnts the sun injuring the - potatoes and the land drying out 1 ct fore potatoes are covered. Plow out * e middles and hatrow level. If pota- < toes are not up in ten days, harow t - again. Cultivate shallow and often s - until vines are too large. Harvest f about two weeks after vines are killed or before hard freezes come. They ' - can be kept in ground all winter by i r throwing more dirt on them with the 1 e plow. I keep mine in a house on | ,1 open floors, one above the other,' g about two and a half feet deep on a , each floor. This allows potatoes to ' ' e I dry out and to have light and air i I ac fVio anvitlflP mnnfVio nnmn ^? I ft vwl f that they sprout less with plenty of e light, so I have wire over the doors r and windows and open them when a the weather gets warm. e Potaties that are to be used for e eating should be kept in the dark all v the time, as the light turns them >- green, makes them bitter and unfit a for use. j a They are used on my table stewed e or baked, French fried, chips, cream-j f ed, salad or any of the numerous y ways in which they can be used from e early fall until spring potatoes come n in. We never tire of them. | is I plant from 10 to 12 bushels per 11 acre. Bugs do not trouble this fall ,a crop. W. P. HARRIS, d Owings, S.

I n to Your Wife, Children R.S' BANK i BUY THE STAMPS ''rom Columbia Record: More than a year ago the cry was aised by that faction in South Caroina politics which now, with all the imbroidery of hypocrisy masquerades is the Reform party, that this war in vhich we are engaged is a "rich nan's war." The meaning of that ihrase, or its intent, being that it is l war in which the poor were to be ;acrificed for the benefit of the rich. \.ny catch-penny phrase will delude iome of the people, according as the nass of the people are wise or unvise. We don't hear the cry so much towadays; the reformers have turned >rofes8ional patriots as they were alvays professional politicians. Which *eminds us that one of the most notible saying of Dr. Samuel Johnson vas "Patirotism is the last refuge of t i scoundel." When all other devices: I.* 1 11! a A * n ? I an nun n? rallies 10 me nag ana aislonors it by his frenzied professions >f loyalty. The events of the past year have town the knowledge broadcast that , .his is a poor man's war; that it is a ,var waged in righteousness and in '.hat "holy wrath" which elevates war >ut of the sphere of mere slaughter, for the preservation of the liberties >{ the plain people of the world. It is the poor man's war and it is the poor man's priceless privilege to support it and to maintain it to the end with all the means that arc at his disposal. No better opportunity^ has ever been given the man of modeate means to support his government than is acorded by the investment of bis savings in War Savings Stamps. Great sums of money have been delivered over to the government for war uses through sales of Liberty bonds, but many people could not buy Liberty bonds. The saving of a hundred or even fifty dollars in a lump sum is such a problem to many thousands of men that they are fear ful about assuming the obligation to buy bonds. But the saving of a dollar here and a dollar there is relatively simple, and the aggregate of such savings will run up into millions of dollars in South Carolina in a very Bhort time The people of South Carolina have established a wonderful record in the three Liberty loan campaigns and in the last Red Cross campaign, but they have not yet declared themselves in the purchase of War Savings Stamps. The state is at the foot of the column. We are not wanting in patriotism of the value of thrift. An adequate investment in War Savings Stamps, however, is needed to round us out into the full measure of citizenship demanded by this war. The rich men of France have done their duty, as have the rich men of all the allies. But it is the glory of France in this war, as it was in her last war with Prussia, that the peasant and the man of small means provided the bulk of the riches needed for war purposes. The French nation long ago provided methods by which all of her people could invest in national securities of small denominations, and upon this foundation has been built up the proverbial thriftiness of the French. Upon this foundation, likewise, has been built up the intimate relationship between the government and the people of that wonderful nation. Our own government has now provided even a better, more easily acquired investment than the French bonds, in the War Savings Stamps. It is not only the duty of every man who can, rich or poor, but it is his opportunity and privilege, to buy them. Break your Cold or LaGrippe with a fow doaos of 666. Our men in the trenches and in the submarine chasers are doing their part. Are you doing your part? Buy War Savings Ctamps to your utmost capacity. Buy War Savings Stamps to the utmost of your financial capacity, and then increase your capacity by saving more. DR. L. H. TROTTI, Dental Surgeon " Chesterfield, S. C.

C., and was sent to Allentown, Pa., for training, has received a commission as 1st Lieutenant in the National Army, Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. He served in what was later known as the United States Army Ambulance Service for several months; and when he heard that the third series of officers' training sc/hool would begin January 5, 1918 and desiring to get into a combating branch of the service put in his application to attend same, was successful in getting the appointment and was sent to ' Camp Meade, Maryland for training. < After spending three months in intensive training a certificate of eligibility and a furlough for fifteen days were granted him, the latter be- J ing joyfully spent in the Palmetto State. Do not forget that War Savings Stamps are not for children only. ' Most of the squandering is done by c the grown-ups.
