It is a fact not generally known,
but the armistice found American
industries wiih $14,000,000,000 of
government orders on their hands. A

government orders.

Throughout the United States peopel
are becoming a little lax in re- 1
deeming their pledges for the pur-j
chase of thrift stamps, or habv bonds.
Due to various causes, many locali-i
ties have fallen behind the systema
?iv iiijumatiuii ui e.ueir quotas.
It is imperative that Dillon county
have the last dollar of thrift stamps
purchased by the end of fhis month.
Those who have been lagging will j
take note and fulfill their obligations
to the government.

way proved greater figures than was

But in comparison consider the'
casualties of England. The full sum
of blo<>dy sacrifice 011 land meant 3,-!

likewise a larger figure than was suspected.
France with a smaller poulalion. is
said to have lost 4.000,000.

THK WASTE OF COTTON.
In these days when every person
in Dillon has the "don't wtisle" slogan
firmly engraved mentally, it is
certainly time to consider the elimination
of waste In other quarters?notably
in the handling of cotton.
This waste includes improper baling
of cotton, which couses great
loss in transportation by wagon.
The placing of cotton on open
platforms lowers its quality.
Open car shipments exposes vast
amounts of cotton to the elements.
Open air shipments on boats plying
inland rivers causes constant losses
from the elements.
When we consider that in peace
times our annual cotton crop is 14,000.000
bales, ea"h bale weighing
500 pounds, and that its value is second
to that of our corn crop and ahead
of the \alue of our wheat, crop, it
can readily be understood that our
hit and t-i,s policy in the handling
of this tnouey crop might with profit
be improved upon.
NOTICE.
Owing to the fact that the Department
of Agriculture has limited the
