Feed the Boys.
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

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.

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.
