Food dealers who have failed to comply with President Wilson's proclamation placing them under license, must obtain licenses immediately or face proceedings aiming at suspesnion of their trading operations. This was made known a few days ago when the food administration advised the federal authorities in each State that some conqerns had not complied with the regulations and stating that action at " ojice is necessary. The advices also stated that some firms which have liceust are not complying with the rule to have their license numbers placed on all stationery. This is required to facilitate the rcquirerfnftnt that no licensee shall trade with a firm which dias not procured a license. , * Sl&te's German Taper Suspends. q Albert Ort.h, proprietor and editor of the Deutsche Z'eUiU.ijr, a tiermau newspaper* published weekly Ht. Charleston, has un| pounced that, effective January 1st, the pa^er would bo discontinued and would be supplanted by a weekly paper printed in \ English with which he will not be connected. Orth was convicted in the United States district court at Collutnbia of assisting a fugitive from justice who was associated with Captain Fay, a German officer. He has appealed his case. Paying Poll Taxes. I Taxpayers have a right to pnv their poll tax without paying their property tax at the same time, for the reason that the poll and property tax are two different classes of tax and the penalties following non-payment are different, Claude^N. Sapp. assistant attorney general held in an opinion rendered for the treasurer of Richland county. |l Mr. Sapp states that in the case i of tho, failure to pay poll tax the j person ia disfranchised and sub- j ' 'fo criminal prosecution,! whereas non-payment of a prop- j erty tax involves merely a civil j detail, thus qualifying for the various prizes. Some of the others lacked only minor requirements, such as bringing in exhibits of corn, and bad they fulfilled these miner details, the showing would have 'been even better. Some of the hoys failing to meet these requirements had exceptional yields and would have swelled the average considerably. As it was the average yield on the 45 acres was 56.81-35 bushels. The highest yield was 119.50 and the lowest 21.80. The toajority of the yields were from 40 to 90 bushels. The average cost of raising this corn was 35.9 cents a bushel. This gave the members a clear profit of from a dollar to a dollar and a half a bushel, according to the price of corn when sold. The yield of 119.50 bushels, by James Draffin, of Lesslie, was produced at a cost of 26.03 a bushel. The Fort Mill young men who took part in the contest, with the yield per acre were given as follows: Cecil Coltharp, route 4, 42.00. J. T. Garrison, Jr., route 4, 77.14. Charlton Garrison, route 4, 83.00. N - Montague Crook, route 1. 22.50. Joe Nivens, route 3, 60.00. Glenn Bennett, route 3, 86.60. No Inducements for Travellers. The usual inducements to holi day travelers in the form of attractive Christmas rates are not being offered this year. The railroads have gone to the other extreme and in display' advertisomentsare -wging the people not to travel during the holiday period unless such travel is absolutely necessary. Such action is taken, it is announced, because of. the fact that the transportation facilities of the country are taxed to the utmost by the movement of soldiers and supplies for the military forces. c The Ruffed Grouse> Too. The pinnated grouse, or prairie chicken, ia by no means the only deBiftble game bird whose extinction is threatened in Minnesota. The ruffed grouse, or partridge, is In even greater danger. Its growing scarcity has been noted by many travelers along country roadb, who are accustomed to seeing many of these birds feeding along the way, especially in August This year very few were seen, where heretofore they have been numerous. It is probable that the automobile Is in large part responsible for the rapid disappearance of the ruffed grouse, for the automobile has completely changed the conditions under which the bird is hunted. In former days hunters went out perhaps once u week, where now they can go every afternoon. The radius of their activity has also been greatly increased, so that places that wore once beyond tholr reach are now within easy motoring distance. Thus what were practically game refuges are no longer such.?Minneapolis Journal. War r.auaes Birds' Suffering. That hiPfla hnvn h-,,m thn devastating fire of the opposing hosts in Europe tharo can be no question. Captain Crawshay bears testimony of this in a letter to the Roya> society for the Portection of Birds. Burners, he has noticed in Prance, have come in for "hot tifnes" when gun positions are located In low bottons which form the favorite hawking grounds of these birds. "Partridges," he adds, "I sometimes see scared by the bursting shells." i Another relates the distress of a nair of swallows that returned in the spring to the cottage which had hitherto afforded thorn harborage, only to tind it a heap of ruins. After disconsolately flying round and round, as if unable to believe the evidence of their own eyes, they eventually discovered a suitable site for their I nursery in a small military hut. A ; great number of such huts, it is pleasi lng to learn, have been used for this i purpose. -1 he bin* of the Father*." Mr. Lloyd-George's son. Capt. Richard Lloyd-George, whose sudden promotion to a lieutenant colonelcy was officially denied recently, has Inherited a fino gift of oratory from his famous father. When he was little more than a boy, ! he once deputised for his parent at a | public meeting and convulsed the audience by the manner In which he ac! counted for his presence there. Responding to a vote of thanks, young Mr. Richard said that Mr. LloydGeorge was unavoidably prevented from speaking that day, and he added j gravely: "There is a verse which states that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, and?that Is the reason I'm here!"?Pearsons. till Talking About It.
