Migrations of rats from one locality to another probably are due chief ly bo food condition, say investiga t tors of the United States Department s of Agriculture. After years in which the pests are comparatively scarce . in a rural neighborhood they sudden,(ly become exceedingly abundant and ? destructive. Rats migrate froni places where food is scarce to places where ? it is plentiful. Abundant food in the ' rew locality causes abnormal repro| duction, the effect of which in a short r time is that of a sudden invasion by t a vast horde of rats. Other movements of rats are local j1 and seasonal in occurrence. An exo, dus takes place every spring from j! cities and villages to river banks and farmsteads in the surrounding country, and is followed by a return mi grution in the autumn. This phenom' enon, which has been observed almost everywhere, explains why rats ' are more abundant in towns during the cold season and in largest numbers in the country during the summer. That all rodent destruction is properly the business of the community, and that this must be recognized be ' fore substantial progress is made, is asserted by the Department investigators. THE GERMAN DOCKS i The taking over by the United States of the title and possession of he docks, piers, wharves, and other shipping property on the Hudson Rn . er, owned by German steamship companies, the North German Lloyd and he Hamburg corporations, is greeted with universal approval by the American people. The property is to be retained by the Government ar.d not turned back to its former owners at '.he close of the war. Purchasers of Liberty Loa i Donds nd War Savings Stamps, who sup?ly the money isi.? for this purpose, nay feel especial gratification. These locks and piers and wharvei. ore strategic points of great in p;>rt;?-. e <nd value, and it is intolerah!,. that 'hey should remain in enemy hand? >r should ever revert to German ownership." German commerce Ivif oeen shown to have been so -ndis -.olubly bound up with, and so much ; x part of German militarism, that it i . just and right that it should suffer ill the penalties of war. '8'8'AV OUR WAR INTENTIONS we intend what our forefathers, 1 vhe founders of this Republic, inended. We in America believe our ' uartieipation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our ' case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to oncert with men out of every na1 lion What shall make not only the ' liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other nation as I well.. , "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can ie no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. * * ! "The blinded rulers of Prussia ' have roused forces they knew little of?forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a pur| nose which are deathless and of the . ery stuff of triumph."?From the 1 President's Mount Vernon Speech. 'S'S'M We muat fret acqutinted with some new veget&bes this year. The chief reason why we have such poor winter gardens is the average farmer's unfamiliarity with the hardy root vegetables. Turnips and beets must be grown, of course, but they must be stored for winter use; whereas parsnips, earrota and salsify burrow into the ground and so "store themselves," as Prof. Hutt puts it. Every enterprising farmer should plant a seed packet of each of these three vegetables this spring and so have a better varied diet next winter.?The n ma sasles i VAMSaMS progressive * armor. ':' . ' -?' ? MR. BLEASE AND <' I THE ADVERTISER I Elsewhere in thia paper appears the announcement that Cole L. Blcnse I will speak in Chesterfield one di?y next week. We think our attitude tow. rd Mr. I Blease and his candidacy is fairly well known in this county but we believe it appropriate that we here provent any misunderstanding that might arise from the publication of this ndvertisment. Our advertising space is for sale and we <fo not feel that we have the right to deny it to any one candidate. The American spirit of fair play demands that every man be given a Rearing. We grant Mr. Blease that /rivilege. Our opinions are not for sale. The Advertiser would consider the election of Mr. Blease to the United States Senate the greatest calamity that could befall the good State of South Carolina. We do not believe Mr. Blease is the type of man to represent a clean, virtuous, law-abiding body of people anywhere at any time, but just at this time of all others his election ought i\ot to be seriously entertained by the people. We believe his disloyalty to his country has been established to the satisfaction of everyone. When our grand old country is fighting for her very existence as a free and independent nation; while our boys are dying by the hundreds for the sacred cause of justice, virtue ?. and liberty we stay-at-homes ought certainly to back them up to the ex- "' tent of sending to Washington a man of unimpeachable loyal1 y and patriotism.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN ' WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR ec Make this Beauty Lotion for a Fow th Coats and See for Yoarsolf re What girl or woman hasn't heard E of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to Hi bring out the roses, the freshness and ca the hidden beauty?

Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake ~~ well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at 1 about the cost one usually pays for a 1 small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no I pulp gets into the bottle, then this I lotion will remain pure and fresh for | months. When applied daily to the g face, neck, arms and hands it should , help to bleach, clear, smothen and beautify the skin.
