The County paper. *- r I rf I , I 8 f l : f ft I ii K ft -ff" There wa$ a time when the countv paper was regarded as a * small luxury by tlve mass of the people, Its columns contained the locul Itappenings that were .not important enough to find their way into the dailv papers. It filled an indispenable place in the life of each local i com munity. Happy was thE paper which at once served its own profit mid the needs of its readers. This place has been and will remain the exclusive sphere of the county paper. Tjie horizon of the county paper has been broadened greatly by the war. Everybody is asking “what do you think of the war”? Their interest is not so much on what the oppo ■ing armies have accomplished during the previous week,] or what' happened in the capitals of the world. The people are hungry for information on the war iu general. Those who read the magazines aud larger dailies are but few number. While the great mass of people must find their news in the county papers or* not at alb This does not mean that the record of local news, should he smaller, or even that the county paper should carry more general news. It does point to the nee* essitv of having the county paper in every home if we are to have ji_people who are in formed on the various calls and causes that must be„ made the private and public information of th$tJ.iour„. Ignorance ami War Sawings tyeek. i * The period of June. 14th to June 28th is designated as War Savings week in South Carolina. The people of this state are Risked to -pledge in this Week that they will pur chase $.T1,000,(KM) worth of War Savings Stamps during 11)18. The question is not merely to raise enough money to meet the demands of the war in a,- hand to mouth, policy 'which may result in disaster, .but to win •the war at all costs. The more quickly the war is won the less it will cost ps. There is not ..enough labor and matorialiii this country to supply the normal peace demands . and also the war requirements of this natiom Either you anil I must dispense with every pur chase that cannot be classed as necessary, or our soldiers niul sailors must be deprived of necessary equipment or munitions. Which shall it be? You are asked to postpone such purchases until after the war, rather than forego them. You are asked to lend your money' to the government to provide for the needs of soldiers to win your battles.” Make no mistake about the fact that winning this. war isi^rst' task.

It l*. therefore, necessary for the D. S. Food Adminis tration to urge a still further reduction In the consumption pf bread and bread- [ 4*tj»ffs generally If we are to meet our- export necessities. The Food Admin istration has Issued a statement ex plaining the situation In detail, partic ularly the reasons whkb lead It, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being opon the cereal sltuaUon to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption. ■ Experience ahowa, this statement •aya. that the consumption of bread- stuffs Is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For varioos reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are consid erably enlarged, and we can supply the allies with all of the meat product* which transportation facilities render possible and at the same time some what Increase our own consumption. In these circumstances the Food Ad ministration considers It wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat con sumption to some extent with a view to further decreasing bread consume tion. Conservation of food must be ad justed to meet necessities from time to tlfne^ for neither production, nor al lied demands are constant factors, nor can any/)f these factors be anticipated for long periods in advance in the dis turbed eruditions In which we at pres ent live. While the world situation Is not one that warrants any relaxation In the efforts to ellmlnat# waste or to relax economy Id food, the Adminis tration desires to secure bettor adjust ment In food balances. So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesday. The meatless meal and the pork less Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the Culted States are responding to the national call to Increuse hog production. Their In crease, to all appearances, Is being at tained more rapidly. Of more Imme diate Importance, however, are several complex factors which have effected an immediate increase in meat sup- plies . -rr : The transportation shortage before the government took jover the rail roads, the bad weather In 4nnuary and early In February, the lajfge percent- | x ‘ age of immature corn In the last har vest and the necessity of feeding this corn as rapidly as possible to .save It from decay, have not only resulted in backing up the animals—particularly hogs—on the farms for a longer j>e- * riod-of feeding, but have resulted In a great Increase In their nvernge weigh and will result, with improved trans portation conditions, which already ap^ pear, In larger than, normal arrivals, at market for the next rwo or three months. The weight of hogs coming to the market for the past two weeks indicates an increase In weight of -from un average of L’OM pounds lasf year’ to the almost unprecedented average of 232 pounds, or a neV’ln- crease in their meat value of over 15 per cent. This is a‘distinct addition to the nation’s meat supply. It there fore now seems certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at. least some montJis_to come, that we can not only Increase our exports to tlie allies :to tht*full extent of their transporta tion facilities, Gut at the same time can properly Increuse our domestic consumption. —-. The respond of the public to our re quests tor reduced consumption of meat during the past few months has been most gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government dur ing tliis period to provide such sup plies as % transportation to the allies permitted. Tlie Administration also suggests { that in those parts of the country r 7% where the did fashioned home preser vation of pork is still the custom, this practice should he extended at the present time, as it will relieve the bur den upon transportation to and from: the pitching houses and is economical ly sound as saving the cost of packing i operations and at the same time will I provide home supplies of pork to last cr die mori’tTis of decreased supplies.
