Is there a man. woman or child in Fort Mill who would not wiljingly go to bed hungry every night if it should be necessary in order that the boys who are fighting our battles 3,000 miles from home might have plenty to eat? Fortunately it is not necessary for any of us to go hungry ourselves, but it is necessary for us , to see that the boys in khaki do not go hungry. Uncle Sam must have money to buy food for the soldiers and that is why Fort Mill is asked to buy at least $52,000 worth of bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan. There is a u'hnlp Int. nf ssaiiafanfinn ir? ibn thought that Fort Mill, by subscribing only its minimum quota of the loan, will provide food for 150,000 soldiers for a whole day or, figured in another way, it will keep 450 soldiers well fed /or an entire year. These figures are based upon the government estimate of 43 cents a day as the cost of feeding a k)ldier in the American expeditionary forces in France. If Fort Mill should fail to subscribe its minimum quota of $52,000 of this loan, some other .community would have to do {paore than its share or some ol the boys in France might go hungry. But Fort Mill will do }ts share and more. We cannot fail if we think for a minute every time we sit down at the dinner table in our comfortable homes of the boys?our own boys ?who are fighting and dying for us and for the safety of bur homes. $ War-Time Profiteering. The worst enemies with which the United States Government has to deal within her own borers at this time are the wartime profiteers. These monev hoarders are converting the World's noble sacrifices of sorrow and blood into sordid gold for self-aggrandizement. The American people could easily carry the burdens of this great war without feeling the slightest financial pinch, if they did not have to suffer such enormous * losses and serious handicaps at the hands of these lucre-frenzied war-time profiteers. :The Government has had little trouble to bring the alien enemie.1under its control, but these domestic foes of American interests, who have attacked our national vitals and yet call themselves American citizens and patriots, have come nearer defying and defeating the American Government and people than could any foreign foe. How to deal with these internal enemies is one of the great problems confronting our country. The great majority of real American citizens stand ready to second any reasonable measures that our Government sees fit to advance in order to curb the insane greed and covetousness of these children of Belial. We are glad that our President is putting forth Herculean efforts, and Congress is seconding them, to destroy this octopus which is fastening its numberless tentacles about us as a, nation. President Wilson is showing himself a statesman, by relegating politics to the rear, and calling the best men ! of tKfe land to his aid. so that justice may be wisely and impartially administered and all offenders prosecuted without regard to party affiliations. -} The Federal Trade Commission was authorized to make an exhaustive study of the profiteering system, and to report its findings to the United States senate. A partial report has been rendered, which discloses some startling facts. This report shows that certain dairying concerns have made as high as 180 per cent increased profit; some flour mills have increased their profits 437 per cent; some clothing concerns, 191 per cent; machinery and manufacturers, 57 to 422 per cent; the coal trade, 504 per cent; the paper trade shows gains of from nothing to 176 per cent; some garment manufacturers, 246 per cent; and in the grain and electrical storage field, the in j crease ranged from 2 per cent to 472 per cent. This simply shows the percentage of increase of i profit, and does not show the normal profits made by these ; war-time profiteers. In other , words, these concerns have made these enormous gains and excess profits out of the war above the profits they made previously. While our sons and daughters are performing deeds of renown and sacrificing their all, these remorseless, conscienceless rentgougers, wage-defrauders, and profit-1 renzied vampires are plundering the people and draining tluir very life-blood so that they may glory in their fabulous wealth and become the billionaire barons of the prime necessities of life, holding the destini s of nations in their hands. Wintlirop Students Quarantined. Actii g .in response to a teleRram i.-om Dr. James A. Hayne, secretary of the State Board of Health, Dr. J. R. Miller, city health officer, held a conference with President D. B. Johnson of Wii.throp college which resulted in the college being quarantined against the city and all outsidt places. The quarantine is in force today. President Johnson gave The Herald today a statement in regard to the quarantine. He said as health conditions at the college are good and it is believed that the physicians and nurses there are able to copt with any conditions likely t<> arise, it had been decided that it is best to quarantine the col ege and allow the students to remain there. The student?from outside of Rock Hill whc nave been boarding in the city, and the seniors residing in tht city, will be placed in tin dormitories; and the other students residing in the city hav? been sent home for such time a? the quarantine may last.?Rock Mill Herald, Tnesday. SERVICE AS BROAD AS THE COMMUNITY War Camp Community Service Pro vldea Numberless Intimate Comffirtt Fnr ftnlHUra Club rooms for soldiers, entertain merits for the boys In khaki, outing for convalescent men back from France, small, but appreciated services to soldiers and their relatives and friends?these are some of the manifold activities of the War Camp Community Service. The War Camp Community Service comes close to the intimate life of the soldier and provides for his mental as well as physical comfort by furnishing the facilities which make it possible for him to relax from the strain of military training and the preparation for oversea* fighting. Its symbol is the red circle and itr activities are as unending as the cir cumference of Hs Insignia. Thou sands of soldier boys take advantage of its facilities and other thousand* of relatives and friends of the boy* in Uncle Sam's uniform are dall> benefited through its vartoua avo dues of effort. BUILDING MORALE OF JEWISH TROOPS Work Of Jtwish Welfare Board Producing Splendid Reaulta In Campi and Trenches No more effective work toward maintaining the highest morale among the American troops has been done by any war organization than by the Jewish Welfare Board, which is en gaged In its task of keeping up the linen of communication between the Jewish men in the trenches and training camps and the folks back home. Believing that in the struggle of morale against "kultur" the American army has every advantage that will Insure sucoesa, the Jewish organization is making its chief issue the stiffening of mental and moral fibre among the soldiers of the Hebrew faith. The call for workers is urgent and rabbis, professional men. Journalists, social workers and others are entering the service of the Jewish Welfare Board to make up the 400 wcafcMB needed to fl|l the ranks. ^ ? - - " T jf ' M - ' Bayers ef Liberty Beads. Fort Mill as usual is showing up well in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. With an allotment of $52,700.00 to subscribe, the following list shows that ' about three-fourth8/ of same has been subscribed. The Flint Hill and Gold Hill schoof districts have just opened their local campaigns while the town has about $8,000 more to raise. The Massey school district is well over the top and the Jones-Sutton district is right at their allot- i ment. However, all of the committees are still hard at work and will not be satisfied until there is at least a "bond in every home" and the townships quota well overscribed. The fact that the local military company is now engaged in one of the fiercest, most victorious battles of the entire war, should be an incentive to our people to subscribe to the limit.
