ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
??
Thursday, July 12,1917.
It took the Russians a long time to
get started again after their internal
trouble, but they are now astounding
the world by their brilliant victories.
The Russians must fight by impulse.
We hope the present impulse will
hold out. From being a dead factor
on the hands of the Allies, since the
rejuvenation the Russian government
has become a most important part
of the allied machinery. Perhaps the
Root mission to Russia had nothing
to do with new movements of the
Russian armies, but it is entirely
probable that Uncle Sam's interests
in the new government gave the Russian
armies an impetus that it had
hitherto lacked.
For the second time The Herald
today prints the list of persons registered
in Bamberg county for the selective
draft. This time the names
f
are numbered, and the draft will be
made by these numbers entirely. The
list is published upon request by the
local selective draft board, who* in
turn, was asked to have it published
by the war department. It has required
The Herald force to work all
day and a good part of the night to
get the names up into type, but that
is all in the business, and we are
' glad to print the numbered list. The
government could have saved . the
newspapers a lot of work and expense
by having had the lists numbered
to begin with, when one publication
would have been sufficient. We
suggest that this issue of The Herald
should be saved. Paper is too high
for us to print extra copies, so every
subscriber had better put this copy
away for reference when the draft, is
made. By comparing the numbers
drawn and the numbered lists published,
those who will serve Uncle
Sam in the war against Germany can
readily be figured out.
m
We are glacTto note that the mat-,
ter of fr^e advertising has been taken
up by the National Editorial association.
It has been a mystery why
the big newspaper organizations have
not long ago taken up this matter.
The report of the executive committee
of the above named body predicts
that after the war a new arrangement
will be made whereby the government
will get its matter printed.
The government has made demands
upon the newspapers which it was
quite impossible for the greatest majority
of them to meet during this
war, and before the war, for that
matter. The^ government tells the
newspapers that it is the part of patriotism
to print what is sent them.
The Herald has printed hardly a
fractional part of what the governhas
sent it. In the first place, it was
impossible to even get all the matter
into type; $Bthe second place,
if we could have'fgotten the matter
' into type, we did not have space
enough to hold it;.5nd in the third
place, if we could have overcome
these two obstacles, we would have
gone bankrupt in the attempt. The
Herald has, though, printed many
columns for the government, and we
will continue to print many more.
We cannot think of any other line of
business, however, that has been
called on to give its stock to the
government free.
LOCKED IN CAR OF TOMATOES.
Meggett Negro Suffers Peculiar "Accident"
which Takes Him North.
Washington, July 9.?Locked for
forty-eight hours in a box car laden
with crated tomatoes and carried
through three States was the strange
experience of James Dojii^, colored,
claiming Meggetts, S. C., as his home
and giving his age as 24.
Doyle secured his freedom at the
Potomac Railroad yards when the car
was opened for inspection. He was
taken to police headquarters and given
a good meal, which he greatly enjoyed.
He says he expects to work
at the yards where he was liberated.
Doyle told the officials at the yards
that he was assisting in packing the
car when he found himself a prisoner
with nothing but the tomatoes for
food and a bucket of water to drink.
The train was bound for New York.
Doyle says he wrapped on the door
at every station and failed to get
any response and probably would
have been on his way to New York
had not the car been opened at the
Potomac yards for inspection.
OPPOSES FREE ADVERTISING.
Head of National Association Recommends
Campaign Against it
Minneapolis, July 10.?Opposition
to the free advertising and publicity
by newspapers of the country was
voiced by speakers at the afternoon
session of the National Editorial association
convention here.
S. G. Goldwaite, Boone, Iowa, preident
of the Iowa Press association,
recommended the appointment of a
field secretary of the organization to
conduct a campaign against free ad
vertising.
"Despite the great progress of the
last twenty-five years, too many
newspapers still run a column of free
reading matter to obtain a space adI
vertisement," he declared.
He said further that editors should
contribute freely of their space to
the government in the war, but predicted
that a new arrangement would
be entered into after the war.
"The government has commandeered
advertising space in newspapers
for many years. Payment
should be made for this space."
Necessity for Organization.
* Necessity for organization, economy
and cooperation among newspaper
publishers was emphasized tonight
in the report of the executive
committee.
1 his report dealt with the effort of
publishers to obtain print paper at
reasonable prices and also touched
on economies which should be practiced
by publishers. ^
"During the past year," said, the
report, "this committee has assumed
the burden of attempting to protect
tne newspaper men, yai uuuion.?
those operating small establishments,
from the greed of the print paper
trust.
"Investigation by the federal trade
commission and by your committee
has clearly shown that there has been
only a slight increase in the cost of
manufacturing print paper since
1915 and although the increase has
been from 60 to 200 per cent, in the
selling price.
Saving Money.
"It is estimated that the work that
has been done by this organization,
by the various other press and editorial
organizations of the country have
saved and wili save the newspaper
000,000 over what they would have
publishers during 1917 at least $25,had
to pay had the fight not been
taken up by us a year ago."
Of proper method to obtain relief,
the report says:
It seems to me that what should
be ci'ii.^ is tc give the federal trade
commission specific , power to fix
prices and take charge of distribution
of print paper. If that is not
sufficient give ther trade commission
power to take over the mills and operate
them during the war period.
We are now in a critical condition
in this country and the pirates who
have been holding us up on print paper,
as well as these who have been
holding the people up on foods,
should be prosecuted and their privileges
curtailed.
Should Have Paper.
"There is no question but that the
interests of the country demand that
tne publishers be furbished p'aper at
a reasonable price ana in sufficient
quantities to meet their legitimate
demands. We should economize in
every way possible. If. you can get
oui an issue 01 six pages, uu not
print eight, just simply to show that
you are printing a larger paper than
your competitor."
The report said that the censorship
ship Question had been settled "fairly
satisfactorily" and "that newspapers
should be careful not to misuse their
privileges."
Of postage rates the report said
that a fair basis would be one which
took into account the difference between
a publisher sending his paper
two thousand miles and one whose
mailing limit was two miles. The
report took exception to the imposition
of a 5 per cent, tax on the profits
of newspapers and declared while
willing to pay their just share of
added war burdens, newspapers
should not be compelled to pay any
additional tax not levied on other
Command Men From Own States.
Washington, July 7.?Adjt. Gen.
McCain announces that officers selected
from the various training camps
to command the draft army will be
assigned to lead troops from their
own States.
Reiteration is made of the previous
statement that it is the intention of
the war department to call into the
federal service on the 25th of July
the national guard of South and
North Carolina. Federal pay of the
guard will begin on the date of the
actual call, but for purposes of relative
rank of guard officers the draft
of all States will be held to have occurred
on August. 5, the last day set,
when the guard will be called from
Georgia, Florida and the Gulf States,
as well as from Indiana, i/ansas, Oklahoma
and the far West.
FOOD ECONOMIES.
I
Herbert C. Hoover Promulgates Suggestions
tor Conservation.
i
! The food economies which Herbert
! C. Hoover of the Food Administration
i desires to suggest to the American
| people were officially promulgated on
j last Sunday.
They constitute the cardinal principles
of the food campaign and are set
| forth in clear type on a small card
| in terms so definite and concise that
all will know exactly what and howto
save.
This Food Administration card will
soon hang in every American kitchen
and its directions followed with scrupulous
care by the home makers of
the land. Already the appeal has
met with a generous response. The
?
information is at hand that a million
food pledges have already been signed.
A reading of the card, which is
printed in full below, shows that to
follow its suggestions entails no real
hardships. The rules are concise and
simple. Less wheat, meat, milk, fats,
sugar and fuel: more fruit, vegetables,
foods that are not suitable to
be sent to camps or firing lines. No
limiting the food of growing children,
no eating by anyone of more food
than is needed, buying food that is
grown close at home. Is any of this
too hard?
The card is as follows:
U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION*
Win The War by Giving Your Daily
Service.
Save the wheat.?One wheatless
meal a day. Use'corn, oatmeal, rye
or barley bread and non-wheat breakfast
foods. Order bread 24 hours in
advance so your baker will not bake
beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the
table and only as required. Use stale
bread for cooking, toast, etc. Eat
less cake and pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below
normal. . If each person
weekly saves one pound of
wheat flour that means 150,000,000
more bushels of wheat
for the Allies to mix in their
bread. This will help them to
save DEMOCRACY.
Save the Meat.?Beef, mutton or
pork not more than once daily. Use
freely vegetables and fish. At the
meal serve smaller portions, and
stews, instead of steaks. Make
made-dishes of all left-overs. Do
this and there will be meat enough
for every one at a reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy
cows and female calves as the
result of high prices. Therefore,
eat less and eat no young
meat. If you save an ounce of
meat each day per person, we*
will have an additional supply
equal to 2,200,000 cattle.
Save the Milk.?The children must
have .milk. Use every drop. Use
butter milk and sour milk for cooking
and making cheese. Use less
cream.
Save the Fats.?We are tile world's
greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. But
ter is essential for the growth and
health if children. Use butter on
the table as usual but not in cooking.
Other fats are as good. Reduce use
of fried foods. Soap contains fats.
Do not waste it. Make your own
washing soap at home out of the
saved fats.
Use one-third ounce less per
day of animal fat and 375,000
tons will be saved yearly.
Save the Sugar.?Sugar is scarcer.
We use today three times as much
per person as our Allies. So there
may be enough for all at reasonable
^prices; use less candy and sweet
drinks. Do not stint sugar in putting
up fruits and jams. They will
save butter.
If every one in America saves
cine ounce of sugar daily., it
means 1,100,000 tons fpr the
year.
Save the Fuel.?Coal comes from a
distance and our railways are overburdened
hauling war material. Help
them by burning fewer fires. Use
wood when you can get it.
Use the Perishable Foods.?Fruits
and vegetables in abundance. As a
nation we eat too little green stuffs.
Double their use and improve your
health. Store potatoes and other
roots properly and they will keep.
Begin now to can or dry all surplus
garden products.
Use Local Supplies.?Patronize
your local producer. Distance
means money. Buy perishable food
from the neighborhood nearest you
and thus save transportation.
GENERAL RULES
Buy less, serve smaller portions.
Preach the "Gospel of the Clean
Plate."
Don't eat a fourth meal.
Don't limit the plain food of growing
children.
Watch out for the wastes in the
community.
Full garbage pails in America
(mean empty dinner pails in America
and Europe.
If the more fortunate of our people
will avoid wasteland eat no -more
OASIS IX GEORGIA DESERT.
Twenty Thousand Gallons Wine Bequeathed
to University.
Atlanta, Jly 9.?The Georgia legislature
was today asked to provide
for the disposal of 20,000 gallons of
wine bequeathed to the University
of Georgia in the will of Judson L.
Hand, a wealthy Georgian, who was a
member of the Western and Atlantic
Leasing Commission at the time of
his death. The wine was manufactured
from grapes picked from Mr.
Hand's vineyard. It has been held
by the executors of the estate in technical
violation of the law. A bill
introduced today, provides that it be
sold outside Georgia which is "bone
dry," and the proceeds, estimated at
$40,000, be made a trust fund, the
interest from which would be used
to pay expenses of worthy young men
at the State University.
New Potatoes.
i _
They are having new potatoes in
Chicago, at least, they are who are
willing to pay $6 a bushel for them.
They are shipped from Greeley, Colo.,
4 5 cars of them. New potatoes while
the snow is on the ground?bah! It
is time eough for them by the
Fourth of July, and even later. In
fact, a new potato, the kind that
comes first, as a most dispensable article
of diet. It hasn't a taste wrorth
a snap, and is apt to pester the stomach
with prolonged indigestibility.
When we we^e a boy they were reputed
to give{ one the cholera, but
that was Drobably to silence the clam
ors a boy's appetite, which reached
out for everything new in sight. But
whether the new potato brings on the
cholera or not. paying $6 a bushel for
them is worse than the cholera. We
shall wait till perhaps carrots and
turnips are clean gone before we
tax our able houskeeper with new potatoes.
"T. R'S." SON TO FIGHT TURKS.
Kermit Roosevelt Gets Staff Commission
in British Army.
Plattsburg, N. Y., July 10.?Kermit
Roosevelt, a son of the former
President, has received a cablegram
containing an offer, which he has accepted,
of a staff commission with
the British army operating against
the Turks in Asia Minor. He was
granted his discharge from the offiporc'
traininp- ramn hare and. accom
panied by his wife, left for Oyster
Bay to join his father before sailing
Saturday for Spain.
Mrs. Roosevelt will accompany her
husband to Spain, where she will join
her father, Col. Joseph E. Willard,
United States Ambassador to Spain.
Two of Kermit Roosevelt's brothers,
Theodore, Jr., and Archibald, are
with the American expedition in
France.
The Eternal Feminine.
\
Marybelle's class was sentencebuilding.
Her's was by far the best
of the lot; it was also very feminine:
"I see a man."
"I want a man." .
"I have a man."
"I am so glad."?Current Events.
Obviously.
"We ought to have named that
boy 'Flannel,' " remarked the father.
"Why should we have named him
'Flannel'?" asked the mother in surprise.
"Because he shrinks from washing."?New
York Journal.
Lots of Turns.
Johnnie?I ain't goin' to school
any more. Just because I snickered
a little the teacher turned me over
to the principal, and the principal
turned me over to Pa.
Mother?Was that all?
Johnnie?No; pa turned me over
his knee.?American Boy.
A Father's Foresight.
Someone noticed that Pat . used
both hands equally well. "When I

always said to me: 'Pat, learn to cut
yer finger nails wid ver left hand, for
some day ye might lose yer right

Col. Oliver H. Payne, who died in
New York recently, left bequests totalling
$7,000,000 to charitable and
educational institutions.

HOME CARD.
Say Mexico Will Fight With Allies.'
El Paso, Texas, July 5.?Since the i
pro-Entente campaign in Mexico was
first started by El Universal, in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the
Allies has reached Northern Mexico, i
During the past thirty days a well
defined movement favoring an open
break with Germany and the alignment
of Mexico on the side of the
Entente Allies has developed. This
has been in spite of the pro-German
sentiment published daily in Chihuahua
City and in other papers believ-i
ed to be subsidized by the Germans j
in the north.
A reflection of this sentiment was!
recently seen in the statement by Gen.
Francisco Gonzales, acting commancljer-in-chief

The manager was arrested,
and placed in the penitentiary. The^
German consul made a demand for
his release "in the name of the Imperial
German government and the ^
kaiser," according to an American
officer who was present at the time.
"Tell the German consul, he, the
