It isn't much of a clock as clocks go. Just an ordinary, everyday affair, such as one sees on the wall of almost any office. Perhaps you'd never glance up at it unless you happened to be late for luncheon.

It used tb keep pretty good time. After we got into the war and got to going good, some one put a little red sign across the face of it so that whenever yen looked up to see what time it was you saw the little sign staring at you impertinently; "TIMS TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS." 1 Tick-took? That clock was ticking off the minutes when the guns were booming along the Somme and while the Crown Prince was battering vainly at the gates o* Verdun. It was ticking when the Lu?'/' " s i t a n i a went down ? when llW/C.

Tick-tock? $555. Sixty seconds make a minute?sixty minutes make an hour?$50,000,000 a day. That's what the war was costing America when the Armistice was signed. Quick! Some one! Stop the clock! Well, some one did. That day of our first Peace Cele bration when we all went crazy and tore loose, some wag in the bank did stop the clock. Took out the pendulum and tied a big piece of black crepe on the clock itself. And everybody laughed and yelled their heads off?because the war was over. That was the end of it. The war was over?the clock was stopped and everything. Well?almost everything. Other clocks still went on ticking? at $555 a second! They're still tick- j ing.

APRIL IS?A soldier who goes to France and realizes for what the French ptoplc fought has no regret for any sacrifice that he has made. One of the typical soldiers from South Carolina is Ft L. M Glenn, who % is now engaged in going over the State in the Victory Loan Campaign. Mr Glenn is a very modest young man and does not obtrude his opinions and it is only among those whom he has known intimately that he wiil talk of wha he has seen in France. The thing which most has appealtd io him is the thrift and love of country of the French people and he thinks that the two are inter-dependent. "I was sitting in my billet in a small town in France " Mr Glenn was tellng a friend "when I observed the French peasant trimming boughs front the stumps of what had been a tree of some size. This stump was not more than 10 or 12 feet in height and I saw that all he trees around the billet bore the same appearance. When T nsked foe nh evnbinntiort T was told that this is practically the on ly way the peasant have to set firewood. If they should destroy the tree entirely they would cut off their / source of supply So they permit the tree to put out sprouts year after year and these they cut off and bind into bundles of fassots. it requires less heat for them than otherwise because their houses are built of stone and L1HJ> 11UUI 1311 t" v L"1 > pu.1 11V.1C KJL ileal generated by these preciously esteemed faggots. A great difficulty I had was in keeping my windows open so that I could get fresh air. This seemed a wild and inhuman custom to my devoted landlady who took keen delight in putting down the windows and closing he heavy curtains the moment my back was turned." ''Another instance of thrift which T observed in the same village was that of the peasant who slaughtered a good size pig which in effect had for some months been a member of the family^ residing under the same roof tree and tended with scrupulous attention. I was nearby when the pig was led into the middle of the street and my curiosity was greatly aroused. The peasant mounted the pigs back and thrust a long knife into its juglar vein. 'Madame Peasant was there with a vessel into which was poured every drop of the pigs blood and I learned that this was to be made later into a savory pudding. There was no vat into which to dip the pig and t was curious to know how it would be cleaned. I soon learned that the ways of the French pasant are as efficient as our tremendous packing pints in this country in which we are told everything about the pig is preserved except his squeal. A pile of straw was heaped ovr poor piggy and this was set on fire singing most of the bristles. Now as it is well known to all of our solders who have been to France water is a .scarce article in that country. The next step of the peasant was to take a number of smooth stones which were quite hot and with these he polished the pigs hide until it fairly gleamed in cleanliness." "I was interested to know how the pig would be hung up as on our farm in Anderson I had always seen the pigs hung up in the cold air and I sawno way for the peasant to manage his pig which was nearly as large as the peasant himself. Presently he produced a short ladder and rolled the pig upon it. He then elevated one end of the ladder and leaned it again st a wall and there was piggie's carcass hung up in the cold air.' The further nrrative of the slaughtering 4- r\r\ inf f%r\r+ niihli ui inc; 10 tw iiiviw i.v.i ^ ^. cation. Sufficient to say that as described by Lt Glenn no part of that pi.? was wasted. $100 REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all stages is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influ enced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine is taken inernally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby dsetroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh Medicine that they offer one Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F.
