All came away believing, as our
cause was just, God would heed our
request to open the hearts of our pep
pie to lend to the Government every
dollar available in this hour of stress
and danger.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather, good crowd met at the
auditorium the next day. Misses Will

delightfully."- keep the home fires
burning" Lula Hubbard of tie 9Th
grade recited an original patriotic
poem, and DR.. VardeIl stirred al with

but the royal student finally began
70 get something approaching the
right swing Since then the king
has been practicing in spare mo-
rnents on a blank wall in the garden.
During his visit 10 the Eagle Y.

GOES over THE TOP"
Pleasant Hill is First to Subscribe
Full Quota of w. s. 8.

Pleasant Hill went lover the top"
In fine style Sunday when more than
$4,000. the districts quota of War
Savings Stamps. was subscribed at
two meetings.
TWO meetings were held in the
district Sunday the first being held
at Canaan church (colored) where
$3.5OO.O0 was subscribed in a short
while after Mr.. J. B. Gibson had de-
livered a stirring address on the war
and the part the colored men of the
nation were taking in it. When all
those who would subscribe 500 or
more were asked to stand 20 men
stood up and with this splendid be-
ginning the remaining $500 was
easily secured
The second meeting was held art
Pleasant Hill church Sunday night
and talks were made by Mr.. Gibson,
and Messrs. A. B. Jordan and J. r.
Regan. The Pleasant Hill folks are
thoroughly patriotic and although a
small audience was present nearly
$3,5OO.OO was subscribed at this
meeting. Mr.. Henry Virgins led the
list by taking $1,000 in stamps ana
a number of others took from 800
to $500. among the $500 subscrib-
ers being Messrs. E. W Moody and
w. S. Grantham. Mr.. F. NJ. Page,
chairman of the Pleasant Hill dis
trict, presided at the meeting, and
when he announced that the district
had gone well above the top, al
though not more than half the inhab-
itants in the district had been soli-
cited. there was enthusiastic ap-
plauSe.
At Union church two miles be-
low Lake View the colored people
were treated to strong patriotic
address by Mr.. Gibson just before
the hour of service Sunday morning.
The colored folks of this section have
always been patriotic, but their pa
triotism was RAINING at high tide
Sunday because one of their sons,
Gordon Hayes. had fallen in battle
the week before. Following the close
OF Mr.. Gibson's address these people
arose almost in body and subscrib-
ed for $3.50O.OO worth Of stamps.
Accompanying the party on it's
rounds Sunday was Mr.. c. L. Wheel
CT who went among the colored folk
at the various meetings and secured
quite large number of subscrip-
tions.

THE COST OF COTTON.
Progressive Farmer Presents Some
Figured on ", w Crop

(From the Progressive Farmer)
The cost of growing cotton of
course, must vary greatly in differ
ent localities, with different farm
ers in the same locality, and in diff
ferent seasons. In the drouth-strick-
en- portions of Texas last year, for
instance. no doubt many farmers
cotton cost him fully SO cents a
pound to grow, while in more favor
ed sections the cost was much less.
Here we propose to take the state
OF Alabama, where probably average
conditions prevail, in SO far as fac
tors affecting the cost of cotton
growing are concerned, and analyze
the probable cost Of tho 1913 crop.
The average per acre yield for the
state In 1917 was. according to the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. about 1875 pounds OF lint. 1t is
generally agreed that last year the
season was more favorable than the
average, the comparatively small
yield being due to the boil weevil
rather than unfavorable weather
The weevil now. however, is in every
important cotton growing State ex-
cert North Carolina. and wherever
this pest is present it is a most Sc
rious factor to be reckoned with in
growing cotton.
The following We consider fair
innate of the cost of growing cot
N in Alabama at the rate Of 1875
,ounds of lint per acre during the
current year:
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1918-06-20

ing and marketing will be around $s
per bale.
On this basis. estimating seed at
$40 per ton. price we are by no
means guaranteed, we have a net
cost per pound of lint of 33.4 cents.
or course. where the yield is above
125 pounds per acre the cost will
be less, but as the yield falls below
this average the cost will be COM
paratively higher.
Cotton can be grown for much
less than 1874 cents a pound" the
men who are interested in cheap cot
ton will say. 1t can; but the only way
to do 1t, where conditions are like
those in Alabama. is to deny to the
grower anything but starvation wag-
es; to deny his family comforts and
conveniences that the families of
even the most unskilled workers are
getting in industrial plants.
1t is time for the cotton farmer to
assert himself. time for him to de-
mand what is rightfully his. He
wants no more. but he is going to be
satisfied with no less.

To REDUCE FOOD PRICES.
Prices to he Published Every Week
BY Administrators.

A countrywide move to reduce the
cost of food to the consumer and
standardize methods of compelling
price lists" was ordered Friday by
Food Administrator Hoover.
Lists will be published in every
county. town and city, and consum-
ers will be asked to cooperate with
officials in forcing merchants to
bring their prices to a uniform level.
If this can be accomplished a
statement issued by the food admin
istration says, the average buyer will
not only be protected but the patrio-
tic merchant who has followed the
food administrations suggestion re-
garding prices will be protected
against the INSCRIPTIONS dealer who
has attempted to take advantage Of
the situation
In carrying out the new standard
ization plan the administration will
establish price interpreting commit
tees composed of representatives Of
wholesalers, retailers and consumers.
The board will etermine fair retail
prices on basis commodities that
comprise q large part OF the nations
diet.
The published lists will give the
range Of maximum selling prices.
showing a reasonable price which
will reflect the prices that should
obtain in Cash and carry" stores
and higher prices representing a
fair p rice for the credit and deliv-
cry" stores
The local administrator for each
locality will act as chairman of the
price board
