aWKBOW iTs. SPENDINGAT TREMENDOUS BATE i t War Expenses Are Continuing With Little Abate;. mcnt OUTLAYS IN APRIL WERE $1,420,000,030 Gradual Increase Is Shown Since Lowest Level in February. Washington. ? Nearly six months aiter me signing oi tnc armistice, America's war expenses not only arc continuing without abatement but actually are increasing over those of the past few months. This Mas shown by a treasury report of government outlays for April, amounting to approximately $1,420,000,000, of which about two-thirds went to pay the nation's direct war bills an I one third wont to the Allies to enable them to pay obligations incurred in this country heretofore for war materials and foodstuffs. The gradual mounting of war ex-' pcnses from month to month, following the big drop from around $2.0(h),000,000 a month last December and $J ,189,000,000 in February, was cited by treasury officials as a very sub stantial reason why the Victory liberty loan must be generously subscribed. The increase in the last two months is attributed to the! giadua! settling of manufacturers' accounts by the* war department, and by the higher demand of the Allies foi credits with which to pay bills previously incurred in this country. The tremendous outlays in April raised the United States actual expenditures since the nation entered the war a little more than two years ago to about $30,500,000,000. someihsngTorhenry FORD TO WORRY OVER TjOndon.?An English manufacturing company announces that it is preparing to put on the market an automobile that can be retailed for $250, certainly not more than $300. Scarcely any wood will be used in the construction of the car, the principal material being- a new substance which is described as "a kind of concrete, light, but strong and durable, produced from waste material such as slag,'clinkers and saw dust and covered with a metal solution." The process of manufacture is another innovation in England. All parti*, including wheels and chassis will be stamped out, each complete in one piece, and then fitted together. j The .manufacturers expect to compete .with cheap American cars, because <4tax and freight charges are expected to raise the price of the American articles considerably above the figure asked for United States buyers." _ LIFT OH-COKNS!

DEALERS MUST MAKE OUT MONTHLY RETURNS Separate Records Have to be Kept of Ten Cent Drinks or Under, and Over The Revenue Tax on cool drinks under the new Revenue Laws passed by the recent Congress went into effect last Thursday, May 1st. The tax of one cent must be paid on each drink, the price of which is ton cents or under, and a tax of two cents must be paid on every drink the price of which is over ten cents. The tax on these two prices of thinks must be kept by each dispensei, separately, that is, he has to keep a separate record of ten cent drinks or under, and a separate list of those on which two cents must i,e paid. The list includes ice cream a well as coca-cola and other so it diinks. There are some drinks not taxable as follows: Hot beef tea. coffee, tea, buttermilk, milk, hot chocolate, hot clam broth, tomato bouillion, and bottled drinks sold iP. rcct from the container. Separate manufacturers' taxes are imposed on drinks of the latter class. The tax of one and two cents above explained is added on to the usual price ol those drinks, so that a five cent drink now will cost six cents. Ice cream is not taxable when sold m containers to be carried away from the selling place to be eaten. Ice cream cones are taxable. Bromo seltzer and other similar medicines often sold at soda fountains are not subject to the tax. Restaurants, or other places, serving ice cream 01 soft drinks as an incidental feature of the business are not required c< collect or pay the tax. Church "sociables" and clubs are exempt but booths at county fairs, shows or ball games must collect the tax. Monthly returns must be made to I). C. Heyward, Collector, Columbia, S C., by every soda fountain pro J prietor, and daily records, must l?f_ kept by cash register or otherwise. If the proprietor has no register ho is advised to keep his tax ponnieseparate. A retailer in stating the price o! an article must give its actual sell ing price and the tax cost extra. H j cannot state a price which includes the tax. Careful records have to Ik kept. Returns for this tax must b? made by the last day of the month j following the month for which tin return is made. For instance the business for May must be reported i by June uOth. j These examples were given of taxable drinks when mixed and soh. ! at the fountain for consumption on , tl.e premises: "Orangeade, lemonade, pineapple j juice, coca cola, root beer, moxie, I phospates, fruit and flavoring | syrups mixed with carbonated water or plain water, milk shakes, malted milk shakes, cream and egg shakes, ice cream sodas, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, flavored ices." ?o The Victory Bonds must be sold or the war debts must be paid by j taxation and, if it should be necessjirv to low heavier taxes, the sol diers returning from France would share in the burden of paying them. PARIS NOW SEES END 9F DISPUTE The Italian delegates to the peace conference who left Paris almost abruptly when the members of the council of four representing Great Dritain, France and the United States refused to grant Italy's full claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian coastal regions have been invited to come back to Paris and resume their e ' piaces in the peace conference. ^ 1 Paris disnatches assert that bv v i - 1 t reason of this invitation it is believed the Italians will return to the French ,t capital and that the negotiations h over the disputed points will begin i, again where thev were left off. i <, French and British diplomats in r Rome for several days have boon discussing the controversy with Prenuer Orlando and Foreign Minister s Sonriino in an endeavor to straighten I out the tangle. THE HOEEY HERALD, CON^i SAMUEL GO^PERS ^ STANDS BEHIND VICTORY BONDS Samuel Gompera, for many years head of the labor moretnent in the United States and at present one of the leaders of the labor movement at the Peace Conference at Paris, urges labor, both organized and unorganized, to support the Victory Liberty Loan. He says in part: "The Victory Loan is the forerunner of a happier state of society, a guarantee of peace and tranquility of the world, tho hope of a better day and a brighter light. I heartily join with my fellow citizens in urging every worker and every organization of workers to take part in this splendid effort to finance our democracy's peace with the wealth and savings of all our people. Invest your savings made safe by the Victory of our arms." COUNTRY HOLDS THIRDJf GOLD Tremendous Guarantee BacK or tvery | Bond Issued by United States to Pay Its War Bills. Gold is the basis of all credit The United States is now about to enter a fifth great popular campaign for the sale of government bonds to the citizens of the nation. America has contracted more than $5,00<).0OO,u00 of debt since last November in paying war bills, and this m?nev must be raiB"d by the people. Every reader of this paper knows that United States government bonds .ire the safest investment on earth. Rut many of them do not, perhaps, know Just how to explain their belief. One of the reasons why United States government bonds are the safest investment on earth is that the United States now possesses onethird of the world's gold. This has come about as a result of the war. It had large gold holdings before the fighting began in 1S14, but since then the nations of the earth have been forced to get needed supplies and maintain trade relations. The Federal Reserve banks do not hold, probably more tjian two-thirds of this nation's supply of gold, yet they have in their rescrvos more than one-half as much as the State banks of the next fourteen tnost wealthy nations. and abroad the State banks have collected practically every gold piece that the people possessed.
