The chair- ^B man's assertion wns mnHo in mitlin. ing the state department's war activities. As the result of the work of the House missions to Great Britain and France, Mr. Flood said: "A com- HB plete understanding exists of precise- Hfl ly what the allied need from this country and exactly what this coun-^^H try can furnish and when and how.'iJ^H The appropriation bill Carries 206,087 for the next fiscal year, 000,000 more than the current ap-^^H propriation. DON'T WASTE SEED William Elliott, Food Administrator, has issued the following statement: |H "Reports have reached this office HH that farmers in certain sections of the State are feeding seed to cattle, and in some instances using seed for^^B fertilizers. Such a policy on the part^^B or any producer is snorc-signiea wnen^H the prevailing price for cotton see^^^H is obtainable and results in an ecc^^^H nomic loss as well as destroying able food for man and beast. "The Food Administration wouj^^^H like to see this wasteful practice minated. Rule 4 of the Special Rul^^HJ of the United States Food Adroini^^^D tration prohibits the use of cotto^^^H seed for feed or fertilizers withoi^^^H the written consent o fthe State Fon^^^H Administrator. It is probable few farmers who are practicing' thi^^^B wasteful method realize the loss both^^H to themselves and to their fellow man '(-suiting in the utilization of co t? n seen in thir. manner. "America is the greatest store-house in the world today mid there must be no waste of essential food pi'ducts. The oil whica -> ':a?'<d from the cotton se'l ? u food product." BH UN The war department has had in- : troduced in Congress a bill to require the registration of all men who have y attained the age of twenty-ond since p June 6th, last. This bill will be j . passed and a million new men, most- wer ly ones who will be classified in first ^(> class, will be registered sometime this spring but probably will not be called ger into military service before Septem- ^ ( ber as the men now being classified awn as first class will furnish enough men j( to make up the draft to be made in .. . March or April. I . President has asked Congress for ? authority to draft men out of their class and order numbers where spe- j cial men are needed as trained me- ^ chanics or experts in agriculture. ! Qer After the 16th, when all register- p ed men have been classified, the Local Board of Selection will order up e(J for physical examination all (<or whp have been jftaced in Class; I. But being ordered up for examination does not mean one y is ordered into military service at tjcn that time. From those in Class one onc who pass the doctors, selections will Gnr be ritade according to order number A(j( for military service.

Poston to take a complete inventory of the stock of flour on hand and report the same either to the cdunty food administrator or one of his school district representatives. Mr. Tyler Watson has been ap pointed local administrator for Orange Hill school district; Mr. H. A. McLeod, Cheraw; Mr. A. B. Smith,' Wexford. Others have been asked to serve but have not yet accepted the appointment. It is not yet decided how much flour will have to be returned or when, but all who have a supply on . hand should play safe and notify one of these officers. of these Officers just how much he has, since the government has announced that only a thirty-days supply will be allowed. SOLDIER INSURANCE Millions of dollars of Government Insurance are being bought by the soldiers at Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. 'Realizing that February 12th. 1918 is the last day, soldiers are buying insurance nt an unprecedented rate? $24,403,000.00 has been applied for in one week, and the total amount sold up to January 26th 1918 is $104,601,000.00. Lieut. David H. Fuller, Division Insurance Officer reports that the campaign to irfsure every man at J Camp Jackson is well under way and that over 70 per cent of the entire division is insured and that every effort is being put forth by every officer in the command to reach the remaining 30 per cent, before the last day arrives. The proposition put to the soldiers is so fair, so reasonable and so American that relatives and friends of every soldier in this camp should see to it that the man in kervice is fully insured to the maximum amount, $10,000.00. This ean be done easily, for if a soldier finds that he is unable to pay the premiums, any parent, relative or friend can pay the premiums for him by sending a check i each month or each year to the Bu-i reau of War Riak Insurance, Washington, D. C. Should there be any doubt about the payment* of. these premiums, information may be had by writing to the Insurance Officer, 81st Division, Camp Jackson, S. C. Talks at the different Y.M.C.A. are made almost every night in the interest of Government Insurance. But nothing helps like a.letter from the folks back home tellinfc-the boy that they believe in this insurance. Every day letters are being received from soldier's mothers end fathers asking if their boy has taken out this insurance. These men invafibly take out insurance. A "100 per cent. Division" is the slogan of the insurance officers and almost every day several companies cross the safety .line and place their outfit in the 100 per cent, column with every man insured. The number of companies being added to the "honor roll" is increasi^r and will increase each day as February 12th draws nearer. Quick action is necessary on the part of the home folksi uA^yire to Pleas* watc^ th* date on yo ur labeL It will rour has expired. For instance, 10 Jan. 18 1918.
