THE WASTE OF COTTON.

In these days when every person
in Dillon has the don't waste" slo-
gan firmly engraved mentally. it is
certainly time to consider the elimina.
tion of waste in other quarters-no,
tably in the handling of cotton.
This waste includes improper bal
ing of cotton, which causes great
loss in transportation by wagon
The placing of cotton on open
platforms lowers it's quality.
Open car shipments exposes vas,
amounts of cotton to the elements.
Open air shipments on boats plying
inland rivers causes constant losses
from the elements.
When we consider that in peace
times our annual cotton crop is a.
100000 bales, each bale weighing
500 pounds. and that its value is sec
ond To that of our corn crop and ahead
of the value of our wheat crop, it
can readily be understood that our
hit and ri's policy in the handling
Of this money crop might with profit
be improved upon.

SETTLES INCOME TAX
House Ways and Means Body
Agrees on 10 Per Cent.
Little Change Is Contemplated In De.
dIctions, Credits and Ex-
emptions.

Washington, July 24.-The House
Ways and Means committee has ten.
tatively agreed upon inclusion in the
new war revenue bill, designed to
raise $S,000,OOO,OO0 by taxation, of a
10 per cent normal tax on all incomes
of individuals after deduction of $1,000
for unmarried persons. and $4,000 ex-
emption for married persons.
This was understood after the Sec
ond session of the committee which
is framing the bill for presentation in
the House, when Congress reconvenes
the last of August.
Chairman Kitchin, after the ses-
sion, said data before the COMMITTEES
shows that during the calendar year
1918 the net income reported by cor
porations will reach $4,000, 200, 900; by
individuals, s7,OO0,000,0 1000. The COM
mittee at the session, Mr.. Kitchin
said, discussed the questions of deduc-
lions, credits and exemptions which
will remain, he said, about as in the
present law.

EATING AT A COMMON TABLE.
UNITED STATES Is FURNISHING
FOOD FOR ALLIES.
Herbert Hoover Says Pangs of Hunger
Are Dominating Fact With
the Enemy.

London, July 24.-Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator, told
the Allied food controllers here that
the corner in food production and
supply has been turned.
There is no longer anything to fear
from the German U-boats, he said In
an address delivered at luncheon at
the Mansion house, he said:
"The submarine menace no longer
threatens the food supply We have
turned the corner at last -
Millions of Tons Sent Over
"In the last IL months the Uniteu
States has exported 100000 tons of
foodstuffs to the Allies. In the next
IL months, with less pressure, we can
export 21,000,000 tons, including 3,O00,-
900 tons from Canada.
I'VE have built enough ships to
handle food for the soldiers.
"The United States pork output
alone will supply meat for the Allies.
In contrast to this, hunger is the
dominating fact with the enemy. They
have been unable to produce the food
they need. Starvation rings in the
words of the so-called German vic.
tory
These conquered people are being
slowly but surely starved. Their loss
of lives through malnutrition and
starvation during the next harvest
probably will be larger than all the
casualties of the West front"
Message From Wilson.
Mr.. Hoover read the following mes
sage from President WILSON,:
"The American people will gladly
and willingly make any sacrifice in
their consumption and production Of
foodstuffs to maintain the healthy
comfort and the courage of the Allied
peoples. We are, in fact, eating at a
common table with them"

CREW TAKES TO BOATS
German U-Boat Sinks American
Fishing Schooner.
Boat Is Destroyed Off the Maine
Coast by Placing Bomb
on Board.

Kennebunkport, Maine, July "a
A fishing schooner, the Robert and
Richard of Gloucester, was sunk by a
German submarine on Cashe Bank, 60
miles southeast of Cape Porpoise
Four of the crew landed in a dory at
Cape Porpoise. Other dories were
coming in behind them, they said.
The men said the schooner had
been destroyed by bomb. The sub
marine, they said, came out of the
water a few hundred yards distant
and sent shell over their bow. The
crew swung the schooner into the wind
and took to their boats. Then the
raider sent a boat aboard the schoon-
er, apparently took only her papers,
,laced bomb and left her. A few
inutes later an explosion sent her
the bottom. No other ships were
sight at the time The submarine
was last seen going south on the
urface.
The schooner had just stocked up
10000 pounds of halibut and 10000
pounds of mixed fish. All her dories
had been recalled and she was head
ed for Boston when the submarine in
tercepted her just as she left Cashe
bank

WIRE CONTROL
COMES JULY 81
Wilson's Proclamation Means
Taking Over BY U. S. of TeIe-
graph and Telephone Lines.
.BURLESON SUPERVISOR
Gable and Radio Systems Also IncIud-
ed In order-Strike Danger Is
Averted-competition To Be
Eliminated.

Washington, July PA proclama.
ton has been issued by President Will
son taking over control of telegraph,
telephone, cable and radio systems for
the duration of the war, effective
July 81.
Authority to operate the wire sys-
TENS is vested in the postmaster gen.
eral., Complete details, it was an
nounced, would be made public later
Postmaster General A. S. Burleson
will supervise the work, with David
j. Lewis as director
The governments purpose in seiz-
ing the lines of communication is
manifold. Cabinet officers pointed
out that such action was essential to
protect government secrets and pre-
vent information valuable to the enc
my being disseminated broadcast 1t
also was considered vital for the need
of maintaining uninterrupted commu-
nication channels and eliminating the
danger of strikes.
Details Not Announced.
In the absence of official announce
ment-expected after Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson prepares statement of
his intended course of action-it is
reliably reported that the control will
include telegraph, telephone and ca
bles. The radio systems of the coun-
try already are under government con-
troll.
In addition, however, the govern
ment needs vast amounts of material
for war work, now tied up because of
waste in unnecessary competition be-
tween telephone and telegraph COM
panies at many places. Duplicating
telephone systems in nearly 1000
cities will be combined under govern
ment control; telephone wires will be
utilized in extending telegraph SER
vice. 1t is the intention to materially
increase the telegraph facilities, more
equitably distribute the labors of
telegraphers, vastly reduce the oper-
ating expense by completely changing
the present bookkeeping methods
and as result bring to the public in
creased service at cheaper rates.
Strike Is Averted.
While seizure of the wire systems
was brought to head at time when
union telegraphers were threatening
to strike because the Western Union
refused to accede to their demands
and President Wilson's request to
abide by a ruling of the war labor
board acknowledging the right to
join the union) the government long
has had the step in contemplation
The strike of telegraphers is now
definitely off.
With the presidents signature on
the order, walkouts will stop and re-
instatement of those men locked out
in recent weeks will take place rapid
ly after government control begins, it
is thought.
The union will endeavor to have all |
questions of wages and working con-
ditions left in the hands of the war
labor board. Some questions are now
pending.

INTENDS TO ASK
DRAFT CHANGES
Secretary Baker Is Preparing
Plans for Submission to
Congress.
DETAILS ARE LACKING
Increased Haste Is Apparent for Get.
ting All Available American Man
Power Ready to Attain
Final Victory.

Washington, July 24.-On the re
converting of Congress Secretary of
War Baker announced that he would
present with his request for new ap.
preparations plans for modification of
the draft
1t is now virtually certain General
Foch will command at least 100000
American troops before winter.
Secretary Baker said the War de-
partment's new program embraces en-
larged army appropriations, modifica-
lions of the draft ages to increase the
reservoir of fighting men, and plans
for larger mobilization of the army
than any yet undertaken would soon
be ready for Congress.
He would give no details, but the
plans probably aim at getting under
arms without delay total force not
far short of the 100000 figure, wide
ly discussed in Congress when the sub
ject was last under consideration.
Need for Haste Increases.
The fighting in the Aisne salient has
opened new possibilities. There is in
creased need for haste, officials say, in
getting full American manpower ready
to assist in beginning the advance that
will end only with victory.
Mr.. Baker said the last reports from
General Pershing were satisfactory,
but it was clear the minds of the
officials here are engrossed in prepara-
lions for offensive battles on an even
larger scale.
Mr.. Baker would not say what
changes in draft ages were contemplat-
ed. The matter is still under study,
he said.
He disclosed the fact that definite
figure for American forces to be en-
ployed in France within some fixed
period of time is being held in mind.
The study of the draft age question, he
said, was based upon finding the "nec-
essary number of men with the least
possible disturbance of economic condi-
tions in the country"
The original National army plan as
presented by the War department rec
commended ages of 10 to 26 inclusive.
Congress changed these limits to the
present 81 to 81 law. There has been
nothing to indicate, however, that
either Mr.. Baker or his advisors have
changed their opinion that men of 10
should be taken
1t has been frequently urged in Con-
gress recently that the maximum be
set at As years. That would involve
an enormous amount of registration
and examination of records, for which
a very small return in fighting men
could be expected in the higher ages.
One of the chief arguments, for ex-
tension upward of the age limits, is
the power it would give to apply the
work-or-ight rule on far wider scale.
