GOVERNMENT MACHINERY FOR
FARMS

Decreased consumption for food is
one thing. increased production is an
other. The don't waste" campaign
mas met with favor in Dillon and II IA
evident our citisens are paying much
attention to that feature of war
work; but the increased production
shortage of labor and the continued
shortage Of help next year, is & more
serious problem.
II Ii much easier to refrain from
wastage In foodstuffs than to pro-
ouce more food under present cir
cumstances.
1t has been pointed sss..xSd va
66e The Rs9p1sof people & Dillon county
will think well of the project-that
one way to increase the production is
by substituting mechanical for lost
man power on the farms by adoption
OF the Canadian system of supplying
government owned and operated ma
chimes for breaking ground for seed
ing.
The call for men for the army will
compel the government to resort to
the Canadian plan to help the farmer
plant and reap his increased harvest
now demanded by the United States
and the Allies.

The Florence Daily Times prints
y long editorial In which It quotes
. Florence merchant who complaius
of the tradi1Taenn -
n. e eut-0f-town habit.
- Merchant says in part: "It
would be a matter of very great sur
prise to many people to know to
what extent the custom had grown
among Florence people. especially
among the women, of going out Of
Florence to buy their clothes, their
household necessities and even their
food" what this Florence merchant
1says is true. not only of Florence
but Of hundreds Of other towns in
the country, large and small. The
merchant has a right to complain
when the people of his town go to
some other town and buy the same
goods for the same money. 1t shows
= bad community spirit But let us
look at the other side of the picture
and take the situation in Florence as
an example. We glanced over the
same issue of the Daily Times in
which the Florence merchant makes
his complaint and found that out of
the ten columns of advertising it car
rfed fiye columns were for foreign
merchants and tradesmen. In the
i've columns of home advertising we
did not find single dry goods store
advertisement, neither was there any
thing in The Times advertising COL
Nmns To indicate that Florence had
n drug store. hardware store or a
Erooery store doing business within
dts corporate limits. There were
one or two insurance advertisements,
a jewelry advertisement. two thea
6re Advertisements, q real estate ad-
vertisement and few other ad-
-vertisements Of little consequence.
Now who Is to blame, the merchant
who places no value on printers ink
or the buying public? Goods do not
sell themselves these days. 1t takes
push to get your wares before the
Dublic and 1t is morally certain the
public is not going to rush by the
store that tells the public what it has
TO sell and buy from the store that
makes no special effort to attract
customers. Florence is not the only
town that suffers because its citi-
8ens buy their goods out of town.
Glance over the columns of the aver
age weekly newspaper and you will
md that tradesmen hundreds of
miles away are using the columns
Df those newspapers to pull trade
away from the home merchant
That tells the story.

No Established WheatIess
Days, but Pound and Half
Should Be the Very Limit

The United States food administra
ton has made wheatless days and
wheatless meals optional In private
homes. But that does not mean the
lid has been taken off. 1t only means
that the question of which day or meal
shall be wheatless is left to the indi-
vidual household.
In other words, the food administers
ton has made the reduction of wheat
consumption test of good citizen
ship. Each citizen in the land is
asked, as good American, to cut his
individual wheat consumption to q
pound and half a week. That means
to cut the ordinary, peace-time con-
sumption in two. 1t doesn't matter on
what day or what meals that is done,
just SO it is done. In that regard the
food administration says:
I'm making optional the observance
of wheatless days in private homes
the food administration lifted no re-
strictions upon the consumption of
wheat products. 1t is merely asking
the American people to reduce their
per capita consumption to not more
than " pounds per week,
'This is an absolute military neces-
sity. The method of saving is being
left entirely to the individual. If it
can be done without foregoing the use
of wheat at any specified meal or on
any day, the food administrators ur-
gent plea for further conservation will
be carried out to the letter."

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles Druggists
report large sale on Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need Of It, Regular medi.

Stallings is frebrand in baseball !;

test over, solo, as he sits ON the play

Stallihgs is merciless in calling down
a player and criticizing his work.

TROUSER MYSTERY SOLVED
Load Removed From Minds of a Con.

Princeton, Ind.-A mystery has
been solved and load removed from
the minds of the members of the Glib
son county CONSUMPTION board. Sew
eral weeks ago, after 100 young men
had taken the physical examination
for army service, the board found
pair of trousers remaining in the dress
ing room. Nobody claimed them, and,
though they watched closely, the board
members saw no trouserless young
man going about the streets.
One day a young man from the vicin-
ity of Lyles station came in and
claimed the trousers.
He said he had on three pairs when
he came in to be examined and in the
hustle and hustle of getting his num-
erous clothes off and on again he had
overlooked one pair.

Early Use of Machine Guns.

The Matabili campaign was car
ried out in the autumn of 1893 and the
early part of 1S49 by the British South
African company. Its force used the
Maxim machine gun-probably the
first time that the modern machine
gun was used by the British in war.
It could fire at the rate of $50 shots
a minute. The Chitral campaign was
carried out in 1895. Machine guns
similar to those used in Matabili were
employed. BY modern machine guns
is not meant guns such as the Cat
ling used in the American Civil war.
which is said to have been the earliest
weapon Of this sort.

to undue gravity the ''peace
strikes" that apparently spread like a
great confiagration over Germany and
austria, to exercise a deterrent effect
upon entente war operations, it is a
general conviction that the half has
not been told in the meager reports
tnat nave sifted to us through Switzer-
iand and Holland. One of these was
that the most serious of the protesting
strikes against continuation of the war
was That of Hamburg, one of the three
Tree cities" of Germany, the greatest
port In Europe and one of the very few
great ports Of the world.
1t would be natural for Hamburg to
assume prominence and in way in
leadership of movement which really
has been .imbued with a deal of the
Dolsheviki spirit of Russia for cessa-
hon OF the war and the conclusion Of
peace on somewhat radical demo-
cratic basis, writes e. w. Lightner in
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has been
more than half century a leader of
advanced thought and action in Ger
many, insistently democratic in it's in
spiratfon, opposed to junkerism though
as matter of course, submitting to
the militarism Of the empire. With
the economic Juror aroused by the
great argument of Karl Marx in Das
kapital, and the political organlza-
ton effected by Ferdinand LassalIe, no
people in Prussia or the German states
were so profoundly moved as those of
Hamburg.
