LOOK AT YOUR. LABEL.
Many friends of The Dispatch News
have expressed their appreciation
of the effort of the publishers
to meet them half way bv reducing
the price of the paper to $1.50?the
pre-war figure*, A great many of
those have made their appreciation
substantial \by renewing, but there
are situ many others whose subscriptions
are about to expire from whom
we have not heard. In making the
cut in the price of the paper tho pubi
pishers (ire Quaking some sacrifice,
because the price of paper, which
had climbed several hundred per cent
during the past few years, has only
receded about Ave ner oent. It Is
till unreasonably high in comparison
with pre-war prices. In view of these
facts it will be necessary for us to adhere
strictly to the cash in advance
plan. We are doing our best to
give Lex inert on county a good, progressive
county paper. If you appre- ,
date the effort, look at the label on j;
your paper and renew before yourj,
subscription expires. A postoffice |
money order for $1.50, made payabld- ,
to Sligh & Whlker and dropped in the,;
yinail box will insure the visit of the j
paper for another year. It is not because
we are afraid to' trust folks that
avc hold to the rash-in-advance rule,
but wo, are compelled to pay for
"iner in advance and to carry
'a considerable Btock to insure regular
tiori, which means carrying

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION, |
The enactment, over tho veto of
President Wilson, of .the resolution ,
reestablishing; tho War Finance Cor- <
poration was 'p, striking victory for J.
Skottowe Wanhamaker and tho American
Cotton Association. Mr. Wannamaker
was among the first Americans
to propose this step and" had his
ideas been carried into execution several
months earlier the general comnl
ovi nn nf Vllioi rinoa 1" d?..4L ? 1.3
va wuaiiicoo HI tXJU OUUU1 WUU1U
doubtless have worn a different aspect
at this time. But ftfr the present
little relief can be expected from
this measure, because Its admlnlstra- j
tlon will bo largely In the hands of
David P. Houston, secretary of. the
treasury, who has vleorously and consistently
opposed the reestablishment
of this agency which was designed
by congress, not as a war
measure, as claimed by Houston, but
distinctly as a post-war measure, intended
to aid and stimulate our transactions
with foreign countries in the
(dangerous period of Veorganization
and readjustment.
Cc/ngress was almost unanimous in
its endorsement of the reestabllshmont
of the corporation, all but five
members of the senate voting to override
the veto, and such men as W G.
McAdoo, forrnor secretary at the
treasury, belioved that it would aid
materially In facilitating the foreign
trade in our products, the slowing up i
of which has been to a large extent j
responsible for the stagnation of prices,
particularly of cotton. It hardly
aooms Tkely that there was not some
merit in the contention of those who
hold out for reestablishment of the
War Financ Corporation, because they
numbered tct> many men of brains
and patriotism, while the opposition
was limited mainly to Secretary '
Houston, who has never manifested a i
frltndl'ness to the agricultural inter- '
?sts and who has all along manifest- ,
ed a willingness to break the hack of
prices of all agricultural products in
ordor to lower the cost of living. Instead
of throttling and parayzing tho *
bus'noss of farming, 4 which is tho
foundation and sourco of all of cur
prosperity, the government had much
bettor have concerned itself with tho 1
real profiteers and reduced living 1
costs to the people by squeezing out <
some of the ungodly profits obtained t>
between the producer and consume^*, c
Tho incoming administration will 1
have a splendid opportunity to make
of the revived War Finance Corporation
a vital factor in the revival of
tfade. We trpst.it will toko full advantage
of it.
~ " ?> I
The last census reveals that for the
first time in the history of the nation
more people live in cities and towns
than in the rural districts. At the
'present rate of depletion of our agricultural
population we will m era face'
the position .of being dependent rpw
countries for our cord' supplies, a
condition which created tho most critical
situation in Great Britlan during
the late war and brought her people
to a point where starvation seemed
a real menace.
People cannot be blamed for refusing
to undergo tho hardships and
Inconveniences, of life in tho country
unless the compensation bo made ade
<iuate and anything that will foster
agriculture and onablo our farmers to
receive living prices will in tho end
prove a blessing to all.

HURRAH FOR McSWAIN.
There is something very practical
as well as picturesque in tho announcement
of Congressman J. J.
McSwain ,of Greenville, congressman elect
from the Fourth district, who is
hreatening to occupy a tent in Washington
when he assumes his duties in
March, rather than pay the exhorbltant
rates asked by Washington landvT'
lords. Mr. McSwain is to be congrat-*.i|
ulated upon his courage. Morerpeo-J;c
pie like him, who were willing to sac-||
rlflce some comforts and something')!
of what is called "style" for tho sake'1
of others, would help things to got
back to a reasonable basis, where
folks would be willing to live and let; h
live instead of trying to get it all at |
one time. 'a
While a great hullaballoo has been ^8
raised in many parts of the state about I
taxes, the peoplo seem little disposed I*1
to take into consideration the factj
that, a large part of the taxeB have i1
been voluntarily voted upon them-1
Belves for tho schools. Taxes are C
high, but their great inequality makes
for a greater burden than the amount I ~
of money appropriated. The statu j
appropriation -bill last year carried C
a total of a little more thafi six mil- C
lion/dollars'for all state .purposes. C
The city of Columbia is this year, (

penses of something more than a mil- ;l

Newberry County has the best crops
as a whole In the history of 'the'*
county. There are some yields of
two bales of cotton per acre, many *
of 1 1-2 bales and mAny whole farms ' 1
that pppduCed more than a bale to ^
the acre. Corn is fine and a big *
crop was planted. Pens, grains and ^
hay are also good. The men who
/
have practiced diversified farming *
have plenty to eat regardless of the *
slump in cotton and the "All-Cotton"
farmer is the only one .hat is squealing
so loudly of hard times. .

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DOUG W BOY."
OF all the names applied to
the American soldier during
xthe world, war?"Yank," "Sammy,"
"Buddy" and the like?the
only one which stood up under
the strain was "doughboy."
Probably they didn't know it,
I but the reason thut the men of
the A. E. F. accepted the term
nnd answered to it without hesitation,
is because doughboy Is*
the oldest of slang words for
American infantrymen, dating
back to the days of the Itevolu,
tion. At this time, following
t,he custom of the British army,
eaeh man of the Colonial army
was served with three or four
cakes of bread a day?flour and
water, usually underbaked.
These cakes were known as
"doughboys" and, before the er-1 J
of the war, the men to whom
they were served were called by |
j the same name.
! During the Civil war the api
pel In t ion was revived?partly on
account of the way in which it
had been used during the Revolution
'and also because of the
manner in which the large brass
buttons of the infantrymen were
ridiculed. "They're as big as
boiled dumplings or doughcakes."
