Stop Cannibalism Among The Chicks Salt In the chick ration la a recently discovered preventive of cannibalism among the chicks, says county agent W. C. McCarley. : Cannibalism is a habit which is most likely to occur to some extent among closely confined chicks, the agent points out. Injuries usually 1??? cause chicks to start picking one another. The blood from Injuries attracts their attention, and once they get the taste of blood they seem to crave it. Cannibalism can be avoided to some extent by giving the chicks plenty of range and separating Injured chickB from the brood as soon as possible. In battery brooders It may be necessary "to use a fairly dark room to avoid toe-picking and feather-pulling. Recent evidence indicates that cannibalism can be prevented by feeding additional salt. In mixing starting mashes, 1 to 1 1-2 pounds of salt may be used to each 100 pounds of mash. If cannibalism starts, this amount may be Increased to 3 pounds per 100 pounds of mash but this quantity should not be fed more than one week. The salt should then be reduced to 1 1-2 or 2 pounds per 100 pounds of mash. HOW TO SAVE $1,668,000 A YEAR Who'd like to lose a job? Who'd like to lose 3,500 jobs? Who'd like to lose the weekly pay envelope? Who'd like to lose $3,500,000 wages a year? Who'd like to lose $1,668,000 in taxes? NOT South Carolina! Yet, that's what would happen if beer and ale were ever again prohibited in this state I The way to save 3,5,00 honest jobs, $3,500,000 in wages, and the $1,668,000 that the South Carolina Tax Commission reports the state received during 1941 from taxes on beer and ale, is to help the authorities and the South Carolina beer industry keep conditions surrounding the sale of beer as wholesome as the beverage of moderation itself. The great majority of South Carolina's licensed beer establishments obey the law ... they are the only kind this industry wants. There is no place for any other kind in South Carolina. YOU CAN HELP South Carolina save its $1,668,000 a year ... by patronizing only the reputable beer establishments, and by reporting others to the responsible enforcement officials.

C. O. KORNEOAY, , Administrator 1 Camden, S, C.. Feb. 19, 1942 UjnjHinttbn - msi BY (jmfK.Rf/jmfth jpric^orpH Defense Appropriations Washington, Feb. 20.?Ttoe greater part of thin week was taken up with discussion and passage of the fifth of tho Supplemental Defense Bills. The bill wits paused byj^oto of 371 to 0. There whm not voto against it in the Houae. I he It|ikt of the Deficiency Appropriation Hills was reported last August aud provided principally for ordnance and construction. The second came in October and provided exclusively for j lend-lease material. The third passed in December for munitions to equip tho expansion of the uruiy be* ginning at that time. The fourth and fifth came as a direct response to the annual message of tho President of the United States on Jauuary 6, last. The fourth, reported In January, provided for army air craft. The fifth.' the bill Just passed, provides for requisites other than air craft. It carried appropriations for practically every kind of munition of war and every article of defense, except airplanes. Tho bill, as passed, provides the amount of $32,070,901,900 This is a gigantic appropriation and our children will be paying for It long after we are gone, but we have a Job to do and It will take money to do it. The United States now is really financing 80 per cent of the war against the Axis powers. The war in the Pacific is not going so good for us. Singapore, supposed to be the strongest fortified naval base In the world, has been taken by the Japs by land attack down the Malay Peninsula. -Most of the British guns placed there were facing the sea and not prepared for defense from the land side. The Dutch are fighting nobly to preserve the Dutch East Indies, but the Japanese have taken many bases already In Sumatra and other islands In that vicinity, and have attacked Java and Australia, the bases now being used by the United States naval and land forces In that part of the world. People ask why we do not get more troops and war implements to this area to help stop the Japs. The answer is that Java and Australia are half-way round the world from here and It is not so much the lack of supplies as lack of shipping facilities that make it such a hard task for the United States to go into effective military operations in that area immediately. Even Pearl Harbor is 2.500 miles from the United States. 'ihe Philippines are seven or eight thous- j and miles away. Singapore, Java, and i Australia are much farther. The Japunese have the great advantage of j being near their base of supplies. The outlook is gloomy right now. Time and the fighting spirit of the American people only can correct it. In j the meantime, we should realize lhat it is entirely possible that in the r.car future wo may bo hard put to protect the Hawaiian Islands. Testifying before the House committee recently. Selective Service Director Hershey said that the nation's smug feeling that we have plenty of men /or everything frightened him. The reason for this is apparent when one looks at the full picture ahead. At present there are only a little over two million men In the armed forces and approximately five million engaged in civilian defense work. Next year the army and navy are expected to have a total strength of around five million and the following approximately ten million. Employment In defense Industries will likewise rise to at least fifteen million by next year and may reach twentyfive million by the following year. Where are all these men to come from? There will, of course, be a sharp drop in non-defense employment, and many men, particularly in Buch industries as the automobile factories, will shift to defense work. But even with this shift, it Is now apparent that there will be a demand for several million more men than are now available. These places can only be filled from the 46-S4 age group and < by the use of women In many tasks i nrdinarily performed by men.
