Attention Food Dealer?.
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:

the sins of the fathers are visited upon
