these figures. They are official We
know some of the details with
mournful exactitude. During one
month in France in 1917 we had $1,000
men killed. In the first twelve months
Of the war we had 6,66O officers and
$4,000 men killed. During the month
of April of this year as the result of
the great battles which began on
March q, 1918, we had over 10000
casualties among officers alone. OF

I do not apologize for reverting to
the casualty list. 1t is essential that
these statistics should be made known.
It is difficult in a short article to con-
vey any fair picture of Britain's work
in other fields. In heavy guns alone
she manufactured during the third
year of the war twenty-seven times as
many as in the first year and two
hundred and twenty times as much
ammunition. The expenditure of rifle
ammunition per week is now sixty-five
times greater than the average weekly
expenditure during the first ten
months of the war. The output of ma
chine guns has increased thirty nine
times. Two thousand miles of railway
track, one thousand locomotives and
many tens of thousands of wagons
have been shipped abroad. The Min

We have dared all we shall gain all.
SO if you have read into this preface
the meaning I have striven to convey
you will understand that in the re-
mainder of this brief essay I shall tell
of the glory end the immensely OF
Britain's achievements in this war not
to f1aunt her deeds in the eyes of the

flow from this great nation Of the
West in an ever-increasing and ire
sistible stream. That is my purpose,
and I want to declare it now Britain
has done much and, though weary and
blood-stained, will do more, but the
measure Of her heroic effort can sure
ly be applied to the determination of
the splendid country in which L write

MEETING OF COUNTY
LABOR BOARD,

The October meeting of School Dis
trict representatives with the local
labor board was held in the court
house Tuesday morning, October 1st,
This organizations is getting results
in it's efforts to apply the regulations
of the Federal Employment Service in
its purpose to stabilize labor and pre-
vent the continuation of the immense
labor turn over that has been the
cause of so much idleness and ineffi :
cheney. The organization calls on all
e:s..zens Of tae County 70 cooperate.
At the meeting last month it was
concluded that, in order to accomplish
the purposes of the Federal Employ
ment Service in stabilizing labor, it
would be necessary that cotton pick
ing throughout the county be paid for
at a uniform price. Accordingly
seventy-five cents per hundred pounds
was agreed on as fair price. Re-
ports from various sections of the
county indicate that. with f7w ex-
ceptions. this price has been adhered
to and accepted as fair by both en-
ployers and pickers and productive OF
good results. The meeting agreed
that this price of seventy-five cents
per hundred for cotton picking should
continue in the county.
Following the discussion on cotton
picking the meeting agreed that uni
form prices should be paid for pick
ino peas and also for chopping cord
wood during the fall and winter. AS
a fair price for picking peas seventy
five cents per hundred was agreed or
and for chopping cord wood one dol
lar per cord for four foot wood ana
one dollar and twenty-five cents for
two foot wood. These prices were
considered fair and al concerned in
the county are urged to conform
thereto. in a spirit of community CO.
operation and patriotism in assisting
the Federal Employment Service in its
purpose to stabilize labor and get high
efficiency. The Federal Employment
Service is very emnhatic in its regu-
lation that no employer shall solicit
or induce labor to leave another en-
p1ove-.
TIE local labor board has no reg
ulation as to basis on which farm
er shall arrange with his laborer or
cropper or tenant and such regula-
tions are not anticipated from the
Federal Employment Service. 1t is
expected that such arrangements will
proceed on fair basis and the Fed
eral Employment Service will looF
with disfavor on only such cases as
offer unreasonable inducements and
have the effect Of unstabilizing labor
conditions.

THE DIFFERENCE.

During our entire connection with
The. Herald and News covering q
period of thirty, years and more it has
been the custom to send the paper
complimentary to all pastors in the
county serving a pastorate regularly
It has been pleasure to us to
contribute that much to the salary OF
the generally poorly paid preachers
as most Of them are, just like the
newspaper folks.
). Since the government has placed
ban upon all free and compliment
ary papers and unpaid subscriptions
we will have to discontinue that prac-
tice. In fact The Herald and News
has never been close collector OF
subscriptions and somewhat derellct
in the collection of accounts generally
which accounts no doubt to some ex-
tent for the fact that we are generally
pretty short of cash, but it is always
a pleasure to US to give and we love
to do it.
But what we started out to say IS
: that one pastor already, realizing the
condition in which the newspapers
have been placed, came in the office
the other day and thanked US for the
sending Of the paper and expressed
his appreciation and paid for years
subscription, all in a very pleasant
manner.
Some time ago another pastor 20
whom we had been sending the paper
according to the custom free & charge
refused TO accept it, because we sup
pose we had said something which
he did not approve. This is the only
case in our thirty and more years
connection with the paper, and he
did not come around and endeavor to
direct us in the right path, if we had
gone astray. The lesson taught by the
Great Teacher is to go after the one
sheep that has gone astray. We doubt
if any None who reads the paper ap-
proves of everything that we say and
the manner in which it is said. ]:
would be miraculous if he did.
But this is the difference in men.
The one refused to accept his free
paper because he did not approve
something the editor had said. The
other because the government said
we could not send free papers. And
he came in and expressed his appre-
ciation of the favors extended and
paid for the paper.
so if those who have been receiving
the paper with our compliments
should fail to receive it after this
issue they may know the reason. II
we fail to comply with the war board
order the paper manufacturers viii
ship us no more paper. The same to
all who do not pay their subscription
when the time is out. We hate to part
with you, but is is up to you.
