Phr Sillott Ijrralh B. JORDAN Editor Dillon, 8. 8., Oct. 8, 1918. ? Every rivet driven in an American S- ablp U a nail punched in the kaiser's eottia. Ownership of thrift stamps and liberty bonds now mean ready money in After years. Lot# of military titles are awarded non-combatants; which makes us wonder what's in a title. One of the reasons why so many .public utilities think they need more money is to pay dividends on watered stock. Talk 011 the streets of Dillon is that the war "will soon be won." We hope so, but there's still some pinch-hitting to do. Another finger pointed by the hand of fate is seen in the news that Oerman crops have faiked while the allies have plenty. The shoe of war pinches our feet hut doesn't interfe.? with us placing them where they'll hurt the kaiser most. Every n.until sees a quarter of a million uiore American soldiers poured into France. No, Maude, they won't ail co.lie back 011 the same boat. The Germans are now to aclop". the system of "successful defense." They used to say that a difenshe arm" can never w?n. While the army men sMtdy the manual of arms you study The best way to save fuel this winter. Every coal consumer in Dillon is expected to do with as little fuel as possible. Country millers are making more money than big millers, according to the flour trust. This is a case of the big pig objecting to the little pig getting its snout in the trough. An honest German newspaper correspondent had it this way: "British fail to stop despite our resistance." But tlie censor cut off all but the first two words. An editor remarks that he who opposes a war tax on war profits is a slacker, shirker and squealer. That is our idea of nothing to worry about. If there were a war tax on war deficits, however, we'd join the squeal-j ?rs. The federal statistical bureau stops forth with the cheering information that the purchasing power of a dol-, lar is now only 50 cents, compared' with 100 cents in 1912. This is at leusl encouraging. We had nearly come to the con. lusion- that the pur-: chasing power ol the dollar had reach-' ed the former proud distinction of a copper cent. While ot.r so-called non-es sential j industries are curtailed the Japanese j are using up ocean cargo space on j the Pacific sending ?s the n. n-essen-j tials we don't care to make for our-1 selves. There will be more goods from Japan in local stores the coming year than was ever imagined possible. The Japs saw a great commercial opportunity in this war and did not permit munitions making interfere with seizing it. ? IMPORTANT NOTH'K. Beginning October 1 papers cannot be maiit'd to subscribers unlesthey have paid in advance. These um* orders from the United State.-, : eniment and must be obeyed by a'i newspapers. The Herald has been on a cush-in-advance basis since October 1, 1916, and this order does not effect The Herald except in that heiwafter all subscriptions will be discontinued promptly on the date of expiration instead of the middle or tlw first of tike month. The object of the government in promulgating rule is? to avoid the waste of paper, a certain percentage of subscriptions not paid for in advance never in fact being paid for. The government has concluded that this is a waste of paper that must be avoided in the future. In order that there might bo no break in the receipt of The Herald, subscribers who are not paid in advance are urged to renew at nnoe. Immediate attention to this important notice will save a lot of annoyance and the possibile loss of one or more issues of The Herald.

KepreaentotlTf off the flomn?I Instructs Local Board m to Application off Laws. ! Mr. J. G. Dunn, representing the department of labor, was present at a Joint meeting of the Local Exemption Board, the Town Council and the Local Labor Board Tuesdujr, and outlined the plans the government has adopted for enforcing the labor laws. It was evident from Mr. Dunn's address that the government means to jget the maximum amount of work out of all able-bodied men and women and the Local Labor Board is given with? latitude in enforcing the laws. I, Every able bodied man up to 551 < years of age must put in ten hours J < work each day and if .a man is not t engaged in an essential occupation 4 he must either change his occupation , or go to the army. Mr. Dunn urged 4 .co-operation between the city author- t ities, the local labor board and the , exemption board. It is the duty of the city authorities and the local labor < board to report to the exemption board all men up to 55 years of age not engaged in some useful occupation. The city authorities are distri- ] buting work cards and each man receiving a card must show that he has I given Uni hours to some useful occupation every day during the week.!" Mr. Dunn said it was strictly against; the law for one man to try to hire another's labor by offering more muu-' ey or any other inducement to in* laborer. This rule applies to all clas-; ises of industry, including farms. If| an employee approaches a man and j asks for a job at tte same wages he ^ has boen receiving the man cannot j be employed until permission hesj been granted by the Local Labor! Board. In other words, the Local La-( bor Board has control of all the labor in the county and a man cannot be! employed without :he Board's con-j sent. A .nan who solicits laborers to go to another state, even though thelcnlinOn. 1!. J.. ?l . . !? ovuviiui n<m hi siaie, vio-'J i lutes the law and Is subject to fine 'and imprisonment. The Local Board' has nothing to do with regulating;* wages. These sre matters which em-1 pi oyer a must settle among theuisel-l |ves. The law does not prohibit a man from hiring a laborer to work !for him another year, provided the . laborer is an old employee. Neither | (does he have to secure permission front the Labor Board to make a contract for another year, but it prohib- " 'its him front hiring another's man * labor at increased wages, and he can-' 'not hire him at the same wages without the consent of the Labor Board. | ,Mr. Dunn laid emphasis 011 the fact j 1 that every man up to 55 years of age. must he put to work at some useful | j occupation, and if any man refused ;to engage in some aseful occupation i he must be sent to the army. Mr. Dunn delivered an address at the school auditorium Tuesday night and ' told the people of Dillon what the; government wanted them to do and, ; what they would be expected to do. I ? j.
