Ginning.

It has come to the attention of the
Food Administration that some of
the ginners are charging on weights
of bagging and ties. The prices an
nounced were for net lint cotton.
Bagging and ties weigh twenty-five
pounds. Therefore, ginners must not
charge in excess of $3.50 per bale,
unless the weight of the bale, includ-
ing bagging and ties, is more than
525. For the excess over that weight
at the rate Of seventy cents per hum
dred pounds of lint cotton is the
proper charge.

Send County Paper To Soldiers.

Send County FaPer 10 SoioieFs'
Our soldier boys in France are
among strangers in a strange land
and they heartily welcome tidings
from home in every form. Personal
letters are appreciated most by them
but personal letters convey but little
of the general news that is intensely
interesting to our boys. Two Edge
field boys say in letters published this
week in The Advertiser how much
they enjoy reading the home news.
Then, if these papers contribute so
much to the pleasure of vi boys
during their leisure hours, let's send
the home papers to them.
The Advertiser is willing to do it's
part in contributing to the pleasure
of the splendid young men who are
making sacrifices for US as well as
for themselves. Notwithstanding the
increased cost of publishing The Ad-
vertiser, we will send the paper to
every soldier for the small sum of
S1.00 for II months. This will hard
~ cover the cost of mailing and &C
tual cost of the paper on which The
Advertiser is printed. When it comes
to contributing to the pleasure of
our boys, we do not consider the
profit OF loss of the feature. Already
several fathers and brothers are hav-
ing US send The Advertiser to sons
and brothers. Will you not spend the
small sum of S1.00 in this way for
some absent loved one? We are not
making the suggestion with any sell

Price of The Advertiser Advanced.

Although a large number of daily
and weekly papers have months ago
advanced their subscription price on
account of the increased cost OF pub
fishing a paper, The Advertiser has
at a considerable sacrifice held to
the old pre-war price in the hope that
conditions would soon improve. In
stead of improving, conditions have
grown worse, the expense Of pub
fishing a paper being greater than
probably at any time since the Civil
War. Not only the cost of paper and
labor but everything that goes into
the making of a paper has advanced,
the government even charging more
for postage through the zone system.
system.
Owing to this increased cost of
productionh after October l the sub
scription price of The Advertiser will
be $500 per year, payable in adj
vance. The government now requires
weekly newspapers to discontinue all
papers within three months after the
period for which the subscription is
paid expires. Even with this SO cents
increase in subscription price, The
Advertiser has not advanced in pro-
portion with other things. Therefore,
it would be unreasonable to expect
a newspaper to remain at the old
Price. A farmer can pay for The Ad-
vertiser at the advanced price with
less than six pounds of cotton. which
probably could never be done before.
The increase would really be more
than have made but we will pub
lish r Advertiser at $500 as long
as we can. We do not believe that
any reasonable person will object to
the increase.

the offer to induce you to
send the paper to your boy. You
may try to send the paper from your
home but you probably fail to send
it regularly, thus disappointing your

boy and S1.00 and we will do the
rest. The government requires that
all subscriptions be paid in advance
after October /. This special offer
applies to the training camps as vel

Self Explanatory Letter From

Gentlemen:
1t has frequently occurred in the
last month that registrants come to
the District Board requesting a fur
Tough or deferred classification in or
der that they may have more time
to gather a crop, or to finish up a
work of some kind.
We take it that you are already
aware of the fact that the District
Board has no power to give deferred
classification or a %furlough to a reg
istrant under these conditions, but,
that it may not occur so often in the
future, we are writing to ask that
you make this very plain to your reg
istrants. 1t is only a waste Of time
and money for them to take trips to
Greenwood in order to secure a fur
Tough for a few months, and, if pos
sible, we would like to have them so
we'll advised on this subject that they
will not continue this practice.
Trusting that we may have your
hearty cooperation in this matter,
and with our best wishes for you in
your work, we beg to remain,
Very truly yours,

ficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-

CAUTION - Although Bitro- Phos-
