J. wu LET UNCLE SAM BE YOUR BANKER Offers Far Better Opportunities Than Those Enjoyed by Thrifty People in France Who Claim Leadership. France has been called the thriftiest nation in the world.It claims to be. If we do not watch out she will prove It conclusively. America is the richest country on earth. Our per capita savings increased approximately 46 per cent in the last four years?the period of the war. Last year, for instance, the per capita savings in the South alone was $26.73. That sounds like we have the money, and we certainly have the will to make more. Uncle Sam is out to show you how. He wants to be your savings banker. He offers you not only 4 per cent, interest, compounded quarterly, but the government as security. There could not be a better incentive for thrift than that. The French people have far loss, yet they save more, rney have no way to put their savings into small government securities, the popular denomination being that of five hundred francs, or $100. It would not be very convenient to aave if we had to put our pennies into &n old stocking until we had accumulated $100 as the French do .would it? And the stocking doesn't pay any interest. So let Uncle Sam take care of your pennies?twenty-five of them ' buy a Thrift Stamp and sixteen Thrift Stamps converted into a War Savings Stamp begin earning compound interest for you immediately. Are we going to let the French beat u? In thrift T ninrn ArnaaiiiA BU UthlHANS 10 SHOW HEADS Sergeant of Murines Hurled Pointed Query at Boches When Fire Was Most Terrific in BeUeau Wood.

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN. Columbia, S. C., April 18.?Soutl Carolina will enter the Victory Loai Campaign with a more complete or ganization than any other State ii the Fifth Federal Loan District. Thi State will be almost 100 per cent ready. The State Chairman, Charle: Barron, has had some difficulty ii the last few days . with one or tw< counties, but tney are even nov straightened out, or will be by th< time the campaigns opens, Monday April 21st. "I wish to thank all wh( have been faithful," said Mr. Bar ron today. "I know that everything seemed dark and unpromising wher we took hold- eight weeks ago, bui most of the men?and of course al of the women?have shown theii PLUCK, their Jbatriotfcm, theia faith in their people and their wil lingness to sacrifice time, comforl and the opportunity to advance theii cwn interests. "There have been some who havt quit. It's a short word, and ugly but it tells what some have done Fortunately I had time to fill theii places and to get an organizatior started before the drive commenced Some we have excused because thej had reasons sufficient and other; :ould do the work as well." "It is not in my heart to treat anj man unkindly, as all can say whc know me, yet if I were more jusl than generous, I would tell the soldiers who it is that has stuck tc them?and would let them know the lames of those who have quit. The excuses that some have given have been ample but others have beer pitiful makeshifts and were from men in counties that have giver svnole organizations that have made glorious history in France. Wher Jhese boys come home they will be jager to know who stood by them )eh<le they were gone." ,4I am happy to Bay that the Cam paign will be a successs. I want all >f our people to participate and tc jet the good feeling that comes from lelping a great cause. Records ol ill Campaigns are kept and in fu;ure years will he referred to, and i State will be acclaimed or disiredited thereby. What will South Carolina say? We will pay our boys for the job they have done." "This is the last loan. It is on jasy terms and !is the best investnent yet. It is our last chance tti -.how the world that we can pay as veil as our boys can fight?and that vould require a whole lot of paying, ;o do enough for the South.
