It la not generally known that Dillon
is a "lay-over" point for many of
th? train crowa on the Seaboard Air
Line, but nevertheless several train
crews "lay-over" here every night.
Tralna arriving here early in the
morning from Hamlet ^re taken
south by crews that bring trains in
the afternoon. The Seaboard keeps a
day and night hostler on duty and the
engines are coaled, watered and oiled
during the lay-over hours. This accounts
for the many freight trains
leaving early every morning and late
in the evenings. The Seaboard contemplates
the erection or ci coal ahute
at thla point.
Notice to Subscriber*
It haa been necessary to almost
completely revise The Herald's subscription
list and subscribers are asked
to look at the date on the label of
their paper and see that it corresponds
with the date on their receipt.
Now is the time to correct any errors
that might have been made ia revis-t
ing the list. Subscribers desiring
their paper changed should give their ,
old postoffice address.
A request, "Please change my paper
to Lake View" or some other
place when not accompanied by the ]
old postoffice address cannot be complied
with.
The proper form to use is: "Change
my paper from Dillon Route 1 to
Lake View." If a subscriber is re- j
celving a paper as "John R. Smith"
and another paper as "J. R. Smith"
?that is receiving-two papers?the
office should be hotifled. This is liable
to happen where a subscriber has
given two different solicitors each a
year's subscription. By complying
with this request subscribers will!,
save confusion in giving proper cred- j

Merchants Organise 1
?- i
The grocery dealers of Dillon met I
Tuesday with County Food Commis- j
sioner Davis and formed an assoc'
tion of grckcery merchants includi
both the wholesale and retail nui^l
chants, as requested by the State
Food Administrator. The object of '
the association is not to fix prices but
to interpet the market for the benefit
of the retailer and consumer. There 1
Is a low price for the cash and carry
home purchaser and a ma> aum
price 'or delivery and charged goods |
?in short, a cash and charge price.
The price of certain articles agreed
upon will be placed in the window
of each merchant, giving both prices.
The prices will be changed once
or twice a week as the market war- *
rants. The association agreed that
town deliveries will be from '
9 o'clock in the morning to 12 noon. !
and from 3:30 to 6:30 P. M., and on '
Saturdays until 8 o'clock P. M. The
following officers were elected: M. '
A. Stahbs, chair?>an. W. H. Mumby. ''
Secretary.
The following committee was elect- '
ed to interpret the market at stated ;
periods:?J. Frank Thompson, from
the wholesale grocers; J. C. Lupo, C. :
Saleeby, G. L. Seals and J. D. Web- 1
iter from the retail grocers.
The wholesale and retail grocers
were uimuiiuous in wanting to carry <

Next Call About Feb. 15
The war department has not an- |
lounced definitely when the next call <
'or men will be made, but the plans j
mtlined by the department indicate s
hat the next call will be made about t
February 15th. Physical examina- j
ions begin today and will be complet- j
>d in about 25 days. The training
amps are being cleared of soldiers i
is rapidly as possible in order to
nake room for the new recruits and c
he war department is urging local t
aminations as soon as possible. An
evidence that preparations are being
made at the training camps tor the
next contingent of soldiers is found in
the large number of troop trains bearing
soldiers northward. Fourteen
train loads of soldiers passed through
Dillon one day last week evidently
bound for "somewhere in France."
The Local Board completed its classifications
last Friday night. Eighteen
hundred and fifty two men were
classified and out of this number
about 400 are in Class A-l. Dillon's
quota under the February draft has
not been anounced, but it is likely
that about 225 men will be called. If
the percentage of physical rejections
runs very high the first quota will exhaust
all men in Class A-l, and men
will be culled from the next highest
Cl.'~8.

Mr. f. T. Bgairsi Writes His Brother,
John. Interesting Letter.
Kelly Field, Ben Antonio, Texas.
Dear Johnny: j
I am writing you again to let you
know how I am getting along. I am
liking it all right. We all work erery
day. We soldiers do all the work'
here, which consists of cooking,
building houses, putting up tents or
anything that comes to hand. I unloaded
a car of clothing yesterday.
The work is not hard'as they appoint
so many men to do the Job that it is
more like play than work. We do
not work but a few hours a day and
the rest of the time we are answering
roll calls. The officers are trying to
divide up and set us assigned to our
regular Jobs that each man enlisted
for but It is quiet a Job for them as(
there are many of us. New men con-!
Unue to pour in here every day from
all over the United States.
This is the largest camp that I
have struck yet. They tell me that
there are seventy thousand men here
and it looks like there is, although I'
have not been over much of the camp.
It is a regular cloth city with row
upon row of tents. The flying i
machines keep up a continued buxz
Trom day light to dark. I have count-'
Bd as many as twenty-three in the air i
at one time. We have gotten so j
that we do not notice them much !
now%
This is the dustiest place I ever
saw. It has not rained here in Ave
months and every day is fair. It is
extra warm in the day but a little
cool at night.
Whit said tell you that he was en-!
Joying army life fine. He says he
feels better than he ever did in his;
life. He is corporal The other three |
men in our tent are from Florida. '
Each man has his own bed which he*
has to* make up and put out in the
sun every day. Each man has his
own dishes which consists of two!
plates, one knife, and fork, one spoon!
and Cup. Each man has to wash his
dishes after each meal.

The Melting Pot
It grows, but not so fast as it could
and should. But weather has prevented
a good many from going down
to add their mite to the Pot. Quite
i number of gold and silver articles
bave been promised for this coming
week which will swell its contents
considerably. We wish to repeat
igain that Nothing is to Small.
We are glad that there have been
some out-of-town contributions to the

Minturn has kindly donated a set of I
silver spoons. The names of all con- j
tributors will be published next week.
SOME FAMOUS BATTLE CRIES
"Marmalade Forever,'" Peculiar Slogan
Which Scotch Regiment Originated
During Charge.
"Marmalade forever!" This quaint
>attle cry originated from a certain
Scotch regiment during a charge In
the present war, says London Aniwer8.
"Stand, the Camerons!" is the
*oar of another regiment of the "kilt- i
es," and serves to corroborate the j
act that as official reports have It ,
the spirit of our troops is excel- i
ent." ,
AiudUK ouiers mere is the gallant j
ry of -Stick it, Welsh!" uttered by *
he late Captain Haggard, which has I
Langdale, whilst encouraging his
men with the gallant cry of "Come on,
the Lelfcestershlres!" fell on the field.
But the Leicestershires did "come on," j
with disastrous results to the Huns, i
We must not forget, however, that
famous cry of "Kamerad!" uttered by
whole German regiments, which has
perhaps, Encouraged our men more
than any othea. There is an amusing
tale told of one of our Tommies who,
during a charge, was about to give
a certain nun a glimpse of the
"great beyond," when up went Fritz's
hands.
"Kamerad!" he yelled.
Tommy lowered his bayonet.
"Hang ltl" he muttered. "That's
the blooming word I was trying to
think of when arguing with Nobby I

Must Obey Law
County Food Administrator Davis
has been advised by the state food
administrator that the law requiring
merchants to sell equal weights of
substitutes with flour must be obeyed.
The law went into effect Monday and
the nenalty for its violation is four
yea. "s imprisonment or a fine of $10,000.
No exceptions, so the food admin,strator
advises, must be allowed
on contracts for flour made previous
to Monday the law went into effect.
The merchants filling these contracts
must sell substitutes pound for pound
with the flour. Administrator Davis
\vir?d state food administrator and
ask< d if farmers who raise their own
cereals are required to follow this
rule. The reply was:: "No exceptions,
all must follow rule to buy
pound for pound." This means that
the farmer must buy a pound of meal
or grits with every pound of flour.
Commissaries come under the same
rule and farmers furnishing their
hands must sell a pound of cereal in
the form of grits or meal with every
pound of flour.
