MADE SLAVES IN TRADE SCHOOLS Many Mushroom Firms Exploit Ex-Service Men in Sweatshops HOSPITALIZATION EQUAL TO NEEDS Stops Contracts in Chicago Where Schools did not Sup ply Right Studies Washington.?The present system 'of Federal vocational training contains "decidedly too much theory" and needs the injection of practical methods, Director Forbes of the Vetpvnnc' Uni'Ami " '* miiu a#uiunu uut'uutau in ci report co President Harding, made public today and covering his recent countrywide inspection of hospitalization and vocational training facilities. "In making public the report, Col. Forbes characterized the system as "unmistakably and absolutely wrong," and expressed doubt whether "very many men have actually been rehabilitated by the government and have gone back to their respective communities as wage earners and as assets." "We have farmed men out undei this system," the director added in commenting on the report. "It is nothing short of crime and slavery to put men into some of the places they have been put. 1 am opposed to the sweat shop system and 1 do not propose to let more of the former service men be exploited by mushroom houses t' at have sprung up merely to exploit the soldier and get the government's money." Government hospitalization of former service men was said by Col. Forbes in hi-: report to be nearly equal to tin needs, except in certain localities, such as California, but ho added that it would !>o necc s: ry to continue expandin/ the program. Hospitalization would continue to be a problem and there coul i be no justification on the part of the* government for failure to push to completion the permanent program. Col.^Forbes reiterated to the President the belief that a government vocational university for former service men and women would In a measure solve the nrohlem. Paw nf the beneficiaries of the system, he added, got what they desire in the way of training and the government loses sight of them once they have been "farmed out to somebody who thinks only of the money he will make off of them." "Orders were given in Chicago," the director said, "for the discontinuance of training in certain schools and institutions having contracts with the government because they are not providing the type of instruction which the beneficiaries had a right to receive. His survey there, he said, has disclosed several instances where those under training were being exploited. Enlargement of the Helena, Mont., Health Service Hospital was urged. Several buildings of wlvxt once was Fort Harrison are available, the director said, and he recommended that they be released for use of the Veter ans nureau. Hospital treatment at Helena met the director's approval, as did that at Spokane. At the latter place Col. Forbes said, the patients were receiving a high standard of treatment. Col. Forbes said he had found a "very unsavory situation" in California with respect to certain contracts ur.der which mgn were being given vocational training. Those contvacts, ( he added, would be abrogated as soon I H possible, and additional faci'ities obtained under the bureau. The talcing over of the town of C vde, Calif., as a training center was recommended. It was built, he s/iid, by the Shipping Bpaigd during the "war and could be converted to the proposed use at small expense. The town consist*? of twelve modern bungalows and a hotel, and, according to the report, is so situated that it would serve both vocational training and hospitalization purposes.

PASTURAGE Colleton County Farmers want to Save Cattle Waltorboro.?The r orul::r oieetirn of the county highway commissioners was hold last week. Those present [ were Commissioners P. M. Buckner, I 10. L. Lemacks, A. P. Barnes, H. R. Hudson. Routine matters were attended to and claims approved against tho county. An interesting matter came up for decision on a petition, presented by a number of citizens of the county in the Rod Oak section, near tho Edi to River, asking that they he permitted to erect several gates across tho public highways in that section of the ounty, in order that a large pasture might he made to take cave of a great number of cattle in that section of the county. The argument was used by the petitioners that the county will go under the operation of the ucnerai ?tocK l aw on January 1 and that it will be impossible to make way with the great number of cattle without sacrificing them. The markets are low now and it was thought that if permission could be gotten to make temporary pasture in this way the owners of the cattle could get better prices for them. This argument was met by the board with the statement that it would be illegal to permit gates to be placed across public highways, or so they were advised. Also that there are many persons desiring* to present similar petitions and if granted in one case all would have to be granted. This, it was contended, would not ?)0 feasible as many of the petitions would come from sections where the principal highways would be crossed nd thus there would he many ob'ructions f.o interfere with the free o of the public highways.

THE HORRY HERALD, < FOOD PRICES ROSE AND FELL After Other Wars in Which Country Was Engaged In the Past THEY MAY mSE BEFORE LONG But This Does Not Mean That. All Prices Will Rise The family man whose income did not increase between 1014 and 1918 was in a bad way. Everything ho needed .and all the things he and his wife and children believed they ought to have, to be happy, became so costly that a new system of living had to ho adopted. Millions, perhaps, changed their diet by reducing animal foodsl and meats of all kinds and increasing i the use of grains and vegetables .and,! incidentally a very large number have not gone back to the old schedules. Wholesale Prices Doubled. Compared with the 5-year average before the World War. wholesale prices in 1018 had doubled, or were represented by 200 as an index number from which to figure. Many commodities were higher and m.any were lower than this figure would indicate. However, any product that had not doubled in price in those days was relatively cheap, and anything that. had more than doubled was relatively high priced. Prices, it will be seen, / re high or low entirely by comparison. The man who wrnt back into history for his information and guidance in preparing for what he might reasonably expect to encounter in 1<)18 or 1010 learned thai the rise and f: 11 of ps-ices in the period after the World War bore a striking similarity 4 /\ 4 r\ i? n r\ 1MOO n n/l f* i 1 1 '1 4 f ft V ^ 1\ O >? l/l i v; '.'it' ii" v cciim i (ii i ui vvi i/'m War of 1812 and after tlio Civil War Tii each case the highest price level was reached ifter the war closed, .and in each ca e there was an extremcl;violent drop. Department Bulletin )99, just issued by the United St&tes Department of Agriculture as a contribution from the Bureau of Market.* and Crop Eseimatas, shows that iho rise in prices during tho World War wps much (he s.ime as during th? Civil War period, hut continued longer after the close of the war, and resulted in a more violent drop than occurred after either the War of IS 12 or the Civil War. After each of the previous wars a very violent drop in prices occurred, followed bv reoverv in part and somewhat stable prices for a year or more. follo\Ved by ,a longer but less violent drop, and again followed by a period of somewhat stable prices, i'he drop in prices of farm products il. \x/ 1,1 \IT ^.1 4-urv aiier me worm war, ci.s mumyii mi cnv i bulletin referred to, bewail slowly, increased in rapidity, then dropped | more gradually, and by June, 1921, had apparently completed its downward course, at least that part which might be described as violent. To judge by Civil War days and by the slow rate of recession now, some price recovery is to be expected in the near future. This does not mean that Jill prices will rise. When more products rise in price than fall, the general price level will rise, but many products will be going down. It is to be expected that those that have dropped excessively will rise, and that prices of most things much above the general price level will fall. The bulletin gives many pr ges of comparison of wholesale and faim prices. A cheerful forecost is found in this sentence: "Many farmers car; not avoid failure, but courage and perseverance will carry many other through seemingly impossible conn! tions and will do much to bring back normal times." poom^TTotton CROP ON RECORD i Federal Estimates Set 6.537, COO Bales, Half Milllion Less Washington.?-The most disastrov cotton growing season on record shown by the Department of Agric-'l lure's estimates, based <n the cun-'.i tion of the crop on September l.1" This was -12.2 per cent of a norma1 12.2 below the worst previous record. "Over most of the belt," the department's s'-itement says, "there will be but little middle crop and practically no top crop. The swarming: plague of boll weevil has advanced almost to the limits of 1he belt, extending through the lower third of North Carolina to eleven counties of Tennessee, over most of Arkansas, Oklahoma and practically everywhere in such numbers and doing such damage as has not been experienced since the period of initial invasion . "Comment is general that the crop may be picked out by early November in much of the central and eastern territory if favorable picking weather continues. The fair and dry September has permitted uninterrupted picking, with labor plentiful and relatively cheap. In some sections picking is completed." The present estimates place the crop at 6,587,000, equivalent .">00 pound bales, a, reduction of 500.000 bales in the estimates of a month :>go. This indicates a yield of 118 pounds an aero. o A Rain of Misfortune. Tommy: Dad, what's a ScotcVi mist ?
