A colored man went to doctor the
other day and asked to be examined,
so he could take out fraternal insur-
ance. He gave his age at twenty-five,
and the doctor asked if he had reg
istered. He said he hadn't, and the
doctor gave his name to the sheriff
who promptly sent the man to an
swer to the federal authorities for
evading the draft. We understand
some of the few colored slackers say
they will keep away from that partic-
ular doctor. That won't do them any
good. All the doctors in the country
and all other citizens, are required to

AN ATTACK ON OPINION

The Star has received the following
from the AWar Industries Board:
On account of the shortage of ma
terials the question of the supply of
paper is becoming acute and the use
of paper must be economical to the
greatest possible extent.
1t is necessary that all newspapers
which publish daily and weekly edi-
ton put the following preliminary
economies into effect July 15, 1918:
Discontinue the acceptance of the
return or unsold copies.
Discontinue the use Of all samples
or free promotion copies.
Discontinue giving copies to any
body except for office-working copies
or where required by, statute law in
the case of official advertising.
Discontinue giving free copies to
advertisers, except not more than one
copy each for checking purposes.
Discontinue the arbitrary forcing
of copies on newsdealers Ii. e., COM
polling them to buy more copies than
they can legitimately sell in order to
hold certain territory.
Discontinue the buying back of
papers at either wholesale or retail
selling price from dealers or agents,
in order to secure preferential repre-
sentation.
Discontinue the payment of salaries
or commission to agents, dealers or
newsboys for the purpose of securing
the equivalent of return privileges.
Discontinue all free exchanges.
Thomas E. Donnalley,
Chief Pulp and Paper Section.
All these regulations are just and
reasonable--in fact, the Star has
practiced them all its life, except the
last.
The Star. or any other paper, can
not form more than halfway esti-
mate of the opinion of the people in
the state on state affairs, unless it
exchanges with the leading state pap
ers.
The man who framed the clause
about exchanges was either grossly
ignorant of the newspaper business,
or he wanted to put clog on news
paper opinion In either case, he is
unfit to hold such a position.
This morning, the various depart
ments of the government dumped into
our postofice box six or seven big, fat
letters, each printed on good grade
of paper and inclosed in good,
strong envelope. We could not pos
sibiy use more than tenth of the
matter inclosed, and some of it, sent
out by the agricultural department,
was entirely unsuited for this latitude,
We suppose this matter is sent to
every paper in the United States, but
we see very little Of it in print. If
the government wants to save paper,
why doesn't it prune this superfuous
information? Why doesn't it ask each
newspaper what and how much it can
print, and supply it accordingly?
Along with the many earnest and
patriotic men who are serving the
government faithfully and efficiently
+ are few butt-headed fools, and it
seems that one of them has got his
work in.

COMPULSORY INCREASE OF
FOOD PRODUCTION IN IRELAND
(By Associated Press.)

Dublin, Feb, 20.-Food production
in Ireland this year is expected to
exceed all records, according to the
announcement of Sir Thomas Rus
sell of the Irish Department of Agri-
culture, who has made arrangements
for the tilling in 1918 of 100000 acres
of land in addition to that under cul-
tivation last year, when 100000 more
than in 1916 were planted, The in
crease this year will be compulsory.
The government has guaranteed the
farmers against loss. Sir Thomas re-
ported that there had been no serious
difficulty in forcing the increase in
planting last year and that only 1,064
farmers had refused to carry out the
instructions of the government OF
these 500 had yielded, under pressure
and he stated that the farms of the
remaining 264 would be operated by
the Department of Agriculture.
There has been considerable
shortage of butter and its export has
nov been prohibited by the govern
ment, English buyers came over here
ard went into the country buying al
higher price than the maximum and
there was not enough left for the
Irish market.
ireland has begun to develop a
gargarine trade and factories have
beer set up in various places, notably
Cork and Waterford
The general impression made or
English visitors to the Dublin hotels
is that Ireland is better off for fooC
than England and that the restric
tions have had much less effect.
