Board No. One is composed of C. M. Wilson, of Wilson's Mills, who s chairman; John W. Sanders, of Four Ouks, and Dr. Thel Hooks, of Smithficld. Dr. Hooks is secretary, rhis board has jurisdiction over nine townships, as follows: Wilson's. Mills, Cleveland, Pleasant Grove, Ll evation, B|inner, Meadow, Bentons vilie, Ingrams and Smithfie'd. Board No. Two is composed of H. L. Skinner, of Smithfield; N. E. Ward and Dr. Geo. D. Vick, of Selma. N. E. Ward is chairman, and H. L. Skinner secretary. They have juris diction over eight townships, as fol lows: Selma, Pine Level, Boon Hill, Micro, Beulah, Oneals, Wilders and Clayton. They were required to number all the cards in red ink in duplicate, make four copies of all the names on their cards with the post offices, send one to the Adjutant General, one to the Provost Marshal, one to the local paper to be published, and post one at some public place in the district. Both boards of Johnston have com pleted this part of their work and have furnished The Herald with their list of names for publication. If all boards in the United States complete their preliminary work with the dispatch that the two boards in Johnston have done, it will be only a few days before the war drafting machinery will be in full force.

The billions of dollars that our Government and For eign Nations are borrowing from our people will be ' spent right in this country for food stuffs and war sup plies of all kinds. The bulk of this money will find its way into the hands of the millions of wage earners, and they in turn will spend most of it for the necessities of life. This community will get its share of those billions. The SHREWD home merchant knows this, and is al ready mapping out an extensive advertising campaign to offset the tremendous efforts of mail order houses and large city merchants. He will get his, for adver tising will bring it to him. The local merchant who forgets to advertise, who ex pects to increase his business without a proportionate increase in legitimate publicity expense, may discover to his cost that he is decreasing it instead. The public takes every man's number.
