FOOD CONSERVATION
AND HEALTH CAMPAIGN
A good deal of interest is being
tu .en in the Food Conservation and
Preservation and Health Campaign
that will be put on for the next two
weeks by the Government Demonstra- .
tiun Agents and the County Council
- of Defense.
Very few people realize that probably
one-half of the doctors will be
tal.en to the war during the next
year and that the teaching of methods
that will prevent disease is a matter
th.it is a timely one. With the doctors
i,one it will be more important
than ever that diseases be prevented.
Prof. W. P. Coker, who is a well*
known lecturer, was the ohicial deleg
,.c to the Health Institute in Colu.v.b:
i lecently and he will carry
to the people at these meetings the i
message that' he has been taught by
leading experts.
Th Food Conservation and Preservation
port of this campaign will
be in charge of Major \V. J. Tiller
and Misses Stella Mims and Rosa
' II Poguos, the Home Demonstration
Agents. Practical demonstrations in
c inning and preserving will be given
by these experts. Major Tiller will
discuss seed wheat and other phases
of farm work, including; the shortage
of labor the next year. Many more
will be taken for the army nnd yet
the farms must be run?the remedy
will be more intensive cultivation.
In connection with the Food and
Health campaign a patriotic address
will be delivered at each of these
meetings by a representative of the
County Council of Defense. The people
of their respective communities
are urged to attend these meetings.
Basket dinners will be served, but
the ladies are requsted to prepare no ,
sweets. The meetings will open each
day at 11 o'clock in the morning and
there will be both morning and afternoon
sessions.
The schedule is as follows:
Macedonia, Tuesday, Aug. 20th.
Five Forks, Wednesday, Aug 21st.
White Oak, Thursday, Aug 22d.
Wexford, Friday, Aug 23d.
Marburg, Monday, Aug 26th.

$5,000,000 OF W. S. S.
r.htirlpstnn SonfK Parnlinn Kuu ?*
last reached the $5,000,000 mn*V ir.
' the purchases of Wur Savings Stanips,
and the per capita sales have now <]
* reached $3.06. For the wee'v ending
.August 3, sales amounting to $271,513.50
were reported, bringing the
total sales since the beginning of
the campaign up to $5,030,846.75?
^ only about one-sixth of the State's
Pp 1 quota for the year, and while the
* sales now are regarded as fair in comparison
with what they were before
June, it is obvious that the men, women,
and children of the Palmetto
State must buy more W. S. S. in the
same enthusiastic spirit which characterizes
the splendid fighting the
Sammies are* now doing on the battlefields
of France.
Charleston, with sales almost of
$6.00 per capita, still maintains its
lead in total sales, followed in order
by Spartanburg, York, Beaufort, Anderson,
(Ireenville, Florence, and
Marion, each of which counties has
sold more than $4.00 worth of W. S.
S. per capita.
For the week ending August 3,
Dillon county led in sales amounting
to 51 cents per capita, followed by
Florence which purchased 49 cents
per capita, for that week.
Chesterfield county is 37th in the
list of counties, or 9th from the bottom.
This county has bought stamps
at the hate of $1.58 per capita.

CHANGE EFFECTED ON THE
WESTERN FRONT RARELY
EQUALLED IN HISTORY
I
With the French Army in France, '
Auk- 13.?After the battle of the '
Avre, the situation of the belligerants
presents a change which for rapidity
and extent has rarely been approached
in military history. Marshal
Foch's strategy and the masterly |
I
tactics of the generals commanding 1
the armies under him have in three-5
weeks wrested from the Germans
what required four months for them j
o obtain at a cost variously estimated j
it from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men.
The immediate resuits of the counter-offensive
which will have the '
reatest bearing on subsequent oper- '
itions are the clearing of the Cha- 1
tcau-Thierry pocket, ending the men- '
ice to Epernay and Paris; the liber- (
ation of Montdidicr, ending thp men- '
ice to Amiens; the freeing of the 1
uportant eastern railroad line from *
'aris to Chalons, and the equally im- 1
wrtant northern line from Paris to
\miens, restoring to the allies means '
communication which give them
normously greater ease in future !
novcments of troops.
These successes render impossible
;ny rupture of the line which would '
separate the French armies of the
:enter from those of the east, or a
upture of the junction between the l
French and British. The most disistrous
consequences to the Germans,
iside from the heavy losses they sus- '
aincd in men and material, is the ^
ollapse of their plan to drive wedges
nto the allied lines and the substurial
widening and joining which have
hreatened general dislocation.
Marshal Foch's strategy in redue- *
ng the salient wedges wrested the intiative
in operations from the Gernans,
at once obliging them either
.0 order a general retreat to a strong
ine such as the Somme, or to engage
eserves. The enemy adopted the
>econd alternative, which having fa 'd,
makes eventual retirement 11.1lensely
more difficult.
The lirst phase of the battle of the
\vre finds the French with a footing
ipon Ihiescourt plateau, west of
Joyon, which has vital importance in
'uture operations. The Germans must
ither recapture the position, at high
os*t, if he can, or abandon Noyon,
/hich means the fall of Roye and
!,assigny, which already are under
nminent menace of capture.
1NLISTMENTS IN NAVY
TEMPORARILY STOPPED
The Navy Department, working in
injunction with the War Dcpnrtnent,
in the carrying out of the new
Iraft law of 18 to 45 years that is now
>efore Congress, has discontinued
nlistments in all branches of Naval
Service for the present.
This order which has stopped all
eeruiting in the country does not
lecessarily mean that no more men
/ill be accepted for the Navy, but
/as made in order to stop indiscrimilate
enlistments of men who will be
ccepted by the new law and keep
hem in useful occupations that must\'
e carried on until the government c
;ees fit to place them elscwher. *
Enlistments in the navy now total
180,000 men, according to Rear Ad- 11
liral Palmer, of the bureau of navigation,
who appeared before the sen
ite military committee this week. Ad- 11
niral Palmer further stated that he !
lid not believe t,o furnish the requir
d number of men for the navy, that
ny changes needed be made in the
rmy draft law, and that the navy ?
. ould depend upon volunteers to cary
on the great work that it is doing, f
As soon as any changes are made '
n regdrd to navy enlistments the
<eople of the State \frill be notified
i <
iiiuuKii nit- newspapers, ami u m"
!ers are received to continue enlhtnjr
for this branch of the service,
iroper publicity will be tfivon it.

This year the Chesterfb|ld County

The Fair Association is going to
turchase one thousand dollars worth

Association being to help in the

The County Fair this year will be

LETTER FROM OUR t

c
Sergt. E. M. Hancock Writes About ,
Company "I"
Dear Editor ; w
Just for the sake of the "old 1st
(I
S. C. Inf." and to let the people of
your town and the county know that n
ihe Chesterfield County boys are real
.oldiers and are willingly doing their
l)it, I request that you publish the
following as it is based on facts prov?n
in the recent test of every Com-;
[>any and regiment in the tfOth Division.
Now this is a record we are
iroud of and I know that we are not
C.
he only one's that are proud of this
ecord. For I know that the hearts
>f the good people are with us in this
treat struggle.
After about one and a half years
>f actual service Co. "I" of the 1 18th "
nfantry, still maintains its record as
he most efficient company in the re- ''
rinient in spite of its many set-backs, u
uch as the transferring from the 1
ompany of a jjreat number of the u
Id members who served on the bor- ''
ler and first established the enviable ,v!
ecord as the first company in the reriment;
also the transferrin); into !?<
he company of a great number of
nen with practically no previous miliary
training at all, but since then
lave been moulded into real soldieis
hrough the efforts of ('apt. \\ . L. 1'
jillespie and Lieut. \V. A. Mulloy Sl
md the Corporals, who have worked -rl
aithfully to establish and maintain Lr
his record of which we are so proud. s<
Ve may also say that we have had A
o cope with the heroic efforts of the
dher companies of the I 1 Mb for first 1
lace in the regiment.?Co. "A" may >
e mentioned for example. We may l!
?id that such competition in conivction
with the ability of Colonel
'atterson has had the effect of Riak- ?t
v the South Carolina Regiment the
i the entire Division. The fact
hat the Cheraw Company holds first 111
n the regiment results in Co. "1" :'t
icing the first in the ifOth Division. I 11
