new REGISTRATION
EARLY IN SEPTEMBER
Age Limits and Date are Yet
to Be Decided.

PORTLAND. Aug. 1O.-In the next
few days it will be necessary to begin
in Oregon another intensive publicity
campaign to acquaint the general pub
| lie with requirements of the draft
law.
This time the occasion is the low
ering and raising of the draft age
limits to include men from Is to 20,
inclusive. and from 80 to "A years of
lage, inclusive
Approximately 100000 Oregon men
will be affected by the new law. All
these men will be required to register
on day, probably early in September.
to be proclaimed by the President as
SOM as congress passes the bill.
As you will readily see, this will re-
quire an immense amount of educa-
tional publicity work throughout the
whole state, in order that every one
of these men subject to registration
will know that he must register, when
he must register. where he must reg
lister, penalty for failure to register,
etc.
In fact, the undertaking is a much
larger one than was the case when the
original registration of men from 21
to 80 years was held. The number
of men to be reached and acquainted
with their duties under the new law
| is much larger.

OLD BOYS START
WEDDING BELLS

| NEW YORK. Aug. 1O.-The little
rascal, Cupid, who doesn't care a hoot
for anything other than splicing to-
Esether in bonds of matrimony the
male and female of the human spe-
cies, escorted very large number of
willing victims to the marriage license
bureau Monday, the majority coming
from the East Side. Belief was ex-
pressed by marriage license officials
that the opening of the annual slack
/ ers' drive had started.
More than half of the male license
applicants were between 81 and As
years old. Nearly 200 in all applied.
Last years newly married sIackers
eventually were drafted. But Cupid
didn't shed tear. Not he. He had
performed his mission of getting them
|spliced. And if among Mondays grist
ther are any draft slackers they need
expect no sympathy from Cupid. Nor
from Uncle Sam, either. for that mat
ter.

Retail Price Report

The Food Administration has
shown results. For the week ending
February %, 1918 a general survey
has been made by the food admins
tration at Washington on prevailing
prices of many products. This re-
port is made up from one thousand
three hundred and seventy one cities
and the data is derived both from
the retailer and the consumer.
1t is gratifying to know that the
retailers in South Carolina are mot
exhorbitant in their charges. and
they are in some instances below the
average for the United States as a
whole. For the week ending Febru-
airy 23 corn meal, rice and poultry
was sold slightly under the average
prices that prevailed throughout the
United States. In the matter of
flour, bread, canned goods and par
/ 1cularly milk average retail
prices for South Carolina were high
er than those throughout the
country at large.
! While milk was selling in South
Carolina at an average of seventeen
cents per quart. the average price
throughout the country at large was
only twelve cents, but it is some
what reconcilihg to know that eggs
sold at an average OF forty-five cents
per dozen in South Carolina while
throughout the United States they
were selling at ffty-nve cents Der
dozen.
1t Is to be noted that within the
last few weeks there hase been a de-
crease in the price Of eighteen articles

COUNTRY PRESS AND NATIONAL

country press to refrain from dis,
cussing national affairs. saying thai

newspapers and the magazines.
II sounds logical off hand, but is
Il michievous idea.
Country and small town people
think about national affairs, and the
fact that their opinions do not al
ways coincide with those OF the city
people is sure proof why the small
papers should not lay down on their
task.
The voice of the country and the
small town must remain potent.
This nation cannot afford to be run

1t is not surprising that Holland
should protest so vigorously against
the taking over of her ships by the
Allies. Holland, while protesting to
be neutral. has been doing every
thing in her power to aid the Cen
trai Powers by selling them food
stufs bought in North and South
America. and the taking over of her
ships means that she will lose the
big PROFITS she has been making on
American products. The Allies need
the ships and they have obligated
themselves to pay Holland a fancy
price for the use of the vessels. But
still the Hollanders are indignant and

JUST AS NECESSARY

If food is necessary to win the

their helpers are just as necessary as
ammunition workers and ship me-

An ammunition worker is left at

chanic. while the skilled farmers
