_ ENROLLING SKILLED MEN FOR SHIPBUILDING 1 The whole country is being: can- 1 visaed-just now for the ^purpose of i enrolling necessary skilled men to aid in shipbuilding; for the nation. So < ijifcr very little has been said or done < ir? >Horry County, but notwithstand- i ing tl\e fact that there are not a i , great many industries in this county, i f yet it is all important that this Coun- 1 ty furnish as many men as are avail- i able for this important work. Last week Mr. M. G. Andersen of Conway, who is in touch with the manufacturing interests of the Coun1 ty, Was named for Horry County to i take charge of the work here. ! The object of this campaign, an* I the need of workers, is amply stated , | fjlrthe following letter which was re- i 1 ctflvecl this week by Mr. F. A. Bur~ 1 ' 'roughs, Chairman of the Local Coun- i f cil of Defense from Mr. Edward N. ' Hurley, Chairman of the United {States Shipping Hoard: Washington, 1). C., Feb. 5, 1918 * Mr. F. A. Burroughs, Chairman, Council of Defense, ( Conway, S. C. y Dear Mr. Burroughs: r :a : ! nctjiane in ywur uiiiruu puisi nun, . and the vital importance) of the work 4jf. enrolling' the United States Shipyard Volunteers, in which you ars engaged, 1 desire to lay before you a .statement outlining the shipbuilding 1 situation. 1 The information heroin contained I is placed at your disposal, for use as you may see fit in obtaining the ?r' roliment of the necessaiy men for tiif. United States Shipyard Volun| tcers. Our shipbuilding program contem. I plates the construction of six million ' tons annually, hut owing to the want t of the necessary sVilled men, we are ; not induro present conditions in a po* sition to turn out the tonnage. The Shipping Hoard lias the mo:ii ey. It has the yards. It has the ma k terial. The hnrusing question is be.' ing rapidly cleared up. All tliat is ' niis to ohtain tho noppssjiv >< fkient labor. il It should be brought homo to em i ployerrs and to the employees of the I industries of the nation that their |j own future depends on the construcf tion of these ships. The fact is thai 1 the recent order issued by Fuel Ad* ministrator Garfield, closing the fac? tones of the whole country, and the I more recent freight embargo issued Lj by Secretary McAdoo, tying up al the freight with the exception of | foo<l and fuel, came not because of a ; * falling down on the pail of the carriers themselves, but because of the lack of ships. The reason for this 1 is plain. The speeding up of the J American factories piled in the Eastern seaports, and packed into every 1 * railway siding outside of the sea} boai*d cities, thousands of loaded ; j cars of materials for the war zone. 1 ' The result was that even the coal re . quired for the ships in harbor could I r.ot get through, and even the few | ships which we now possess wer^ j held in harbor by empty bunkers and ! could not sail. Until we have ships to clear the ] Atlantic ports of manufactured goods I ft*. which our Army in France and j ovpr Allies are in need, these enforce;: , " holidays and embargoes must recur, i with the result that no factory in America can be assured of runnning full time ad no workman can count on continuous employment. If you can drive this home to your people; if this lesson, through constant repitition, can be thoroughly learned; there is no doubt that you will get your quota of the necessary men. j It is not mere numbers that coun it is the efficiency of the men on I rolled. ' /m as much to the interest of the 'manufacturer to send his best men to the shipyards as it is to the interest of the man himself to go. r If the use of my name will in any! v. ay help you in your work, you have m tne auinoniy lo us0 11, quoting rrom ; this statement, to the end that the people from your district may realize once and for all that on labor depends the construction of the needed ships, and on these ships depend not only the war itself, hut the present industrial life of the nation.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER The home1 economics department of the United States food administration has prepared the following on food > substitutes: "The war has given as many now expressions. One hears phrases to. clay which were meaningless a yea* ago. As often as the enlisted man is saying 'Over there' and 'Somewhere in France' we hoar the patriotic housekeeper murmur 'wheat substitute' and 'meat substitute.' Each "f these phrases seems to imply as real loyalty and fighting spirit as does the other. "Every 'true blue American' is responding today to the urgent and often repeated request to save food. But it is to the housekeeper that this sacred trust is particularly given. As soon as the people as a whole realize the necessity of such strict measures as the president's recent proclamation advised, there will be no more need of urging the wheatless and meatless days. Every one will gladly take upon himself the willing saciifice. Meanwhile there are some pe>. pie who are sincerely wondering why these days have been set aside. Fo? we hear such expressions as till?.. 'The substitutes which I can seeu.-x. are just as expensive as the whant? or as the moat.' This is quite often true. But today it is not money whicv. we are trying to save by substituting one food for another. It is the wheal and the meat which must be conserved. These are the two articles whicn will keep GUI- own men and our allies from starvation. Wheat and meat can be shipped across the water. The foods which we are substituting can not be shipped so these must be used at homo and enough wheat and meat saved from our tables to feed the thousands of people looking to us for strength to live and fight. "For wheat use cornmcal, corn flour, rye flour, catmcal, soy bean meal, peanut meal. Serve more cereals and more potatoes. None of these tilings can be sent to France, yet such foods contain the same kind of material as does wheat bread. No money win i>e .saved mrougn tno.v substitutions, but many lives may !>' kept from staivation If we save the wheat for them. " Instead of meat serve poulti.-. fish, game, eggs, dairy products, cheese, nuts, dried peas and beans. There will be no reduction in you! market bill, but many pounds of life giving nourishment will be sent to people willingly offering themselfcs a* living sacrifices in our places. "The time has come when who .1 ;md meat are more precious than money. Gold can not save the dyiu ;* men only the food which we will so no can do this. Every ounce which i saved in America will be sent to a hungry soul in those desolated bullettorn battle fronts. Every man, wo man and child is called upon to help 1 save the wheat and the meat supply , of America." j O | The Ameriena dead as the result id j the sinking of the steamer Tuscania apparently is at least 1~>9. o Germany's action regarding- Russia ( has proved that her declaration re- ; garding no annexations had no real i meaning. - - - m _ ' A FAMILY MEDICINE Iii Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black* Draught. Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, nf n.<n -?II Mr ui iuio yiuuc# w inea; i am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, It was one of our family medicines. Also In my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often In the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around Rgaiu. We would not be without It, . for It certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days In bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been In use for many years in the treat inont of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of its merit. If your liver Is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeablo symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, Indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result. Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuablo remedy for those troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts In a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels ot impurities. Try it. insist on Thedford's. tho origin?.! and zmxiku.

The United States ivill furnish more men and money for .he wnr in a far shorter time> than las been the fondest hope of our own Deople of the nations with which we viv associated," Chairman Flodo, of he foreign affairs committee, dedared in the house today in presently the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. The chairman's assertion was made in outlining: the state department's war activities. As the result ef the work of the house mission to Great Britain and France, Mr. Flood said, "a complete understanding exists of precisely what the allies need from this country and exactly what this country can furnish and when and how." The appropriation hill carries $8,200,087 for the next fiscal year, 000,000 more than th0 current'appropriation. o PRA1SKS FIGHTING MKN\ 1 ti a recent communication to Secvotary of War Hakcr, the commander of the American Fxpcclitionary Forces said: "There has never been a similar body of men to lead as clean lives a* our American soldiers in France. They have entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no oilier idea than to pel*form these duties in most efficient manner possible. They fully realize their obligation to their own people, thefr friends, and the country. A rigid program o*' instruction is carried out daily with traditional American enthusiasm. Ihigaged in healthy, interesting exercises in the open air, with simple diets, officers ami men, like trained athletes, are rendy for their tasks. Forbidden the use of strong drink and protected by stringent regulations against sexual evils, and supported by their own moral courage, their good behavior is the> subject of most favorable comment-*, especially by o"ir allies. American mothers may rest assured that their sons ni\^ a credit to them and to the Nation, and they may well look forward to the proud day when on tha battle field these splendid men wilt shed a new luster on American manhood." o CARE OF STOCK. Just a won! of caution to some of tixe farmers in this County who are buying horses and brood mares fo work on their farms. They must be looked at different than the mule, for instance they must not be fed a full ration of corn when they are not working, half feed on Sundays and days they do not work is ample, and they are not likely to got sick feeding that way, whereas if they are fed full meals while they ai> idle 99 per cent, of them will die as a result of tlie farmer's seeming kindness. Also some farmers have bought some of those good milk cows and heifers that have been brought into the coun ty during the last six months. ? want you to bear in mind that you. haven't cleaned up the cattle ticie yet, and if you allow one little tick to get on your new cow or heifer, you can get ready to dig a hole t'* put them in as they nearly always die, and there is no treatment know that has any effect or. tick fever. Clean up the, ticks this year and you can raise lots of good beef and dairy cattle. Dr. C. Hedlcv, ^ Veterinary Inspector. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, hue as County, ss. Frank J.
