The Hollanders have our sympathy.
Our faith is in the God of Wood
row'Wilson and not in the gott of the
ex-kaiser.
The blood of Edith Cavell cries
out against letting the red handed
murderer go unpunished.
Conserve food. America now has
the task of feeding more than 200,- j
000,000 of people.
The next war, if there should ever
be one, will not be "Made in Ger
many." *
William Hohenzollern should be
arraigned before the bar of justice
and be made to suffer for his crimes.
_ . n_ i
Starved and naked Europe must be
fed and clothed. They look to Ameri
ca for aid. Will they look in vain?
The Kaiser found that Mars, and
not God that holds the destiny of na
tions in the hollow of His hand, was
his aily.
Speculators are having their way
for a time with the cotton market
But "it's a long lane that has no
turn."
Tim hunting season is on, but hunt
on-your own premises and keep away
from land that is "poshed." You are
not wanted on it.
The submarines are all in port, so
let holuers of cotton "sit steady in
the boat." The lower the price the
tighter should be .the grip of those
holding cotton. The tide will turn.
Cotton mills that sold cotton goods
on a basis of thirty-edd cents cotton
and are making those goods from
twenty-odd cents cotton are piling
up the proiits.
William Hohenzollern should have
the most conspicuous place in the
World's Hall of Infamy. For eons
upon eons the people ox ail nations
Wili curse ina memory.
Two antipodal figures stand sil-'
houc.uu against the horizon ot' na
tions-one tao most popular man in *
the world and tne other the most un
poptuar man. Anybody can name
them.
We find baby carriages among the
articles from which restrictions have
been raised by the War industries
Board, it is well for the supply OL' :
these necessities to be adequate to
the demand.
The former emperor realizes that
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power.
And all that beauty, all that wealth
" e'er {rave,
Await alike the inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave."
Stand By Our Boys.
The American army saved the day.
But for the galla, t service rendered
by our boys in uniform Prussianism
' would have prevailed throughout thc
earth. They haye done their part well. |
Now will we stand by them or will
we- allow the campaign being waged
for the United War Work to lae; and
fail? Surely we will not be lacking
in J?yalty and appreciation. Our boys i
in France need more than ever the
work of the Y. M. C. A. During the
period between victory and the home
coming there will be many dull, mo
notonous hours for our boys and the!
Y. y*. C. A. and the other organized j
forces can do for them just what is
most needed, if we will only supply
the necessary funds.
E efield county has gone over the
top in every other cali that has been
made. Surely we will riot fail when
the caus? is hr the :';: .. rest ol' our
boys. The money we give is to bc
expanded solely for their welfare, j
Give willingly and largely1 to the end
that all of the funds headed be
raised. ?
Pbr.t Food Crcps.
As the war is over hundreds
of millions of per must be fed. by
America. Even Germany is begging
us for bread. This -Tea: need, togeth
er with the fact that wie price of-edt
ton is steadily falling, should cause
southern farmers tb plant more largo
Ly. of food crops than they have ever
.lone before. Now is the time to be
gin for a large hardest in ID 19. In
a few short weeks it will be too late
to sow wheat, the cerca i that the
world stands most in need of. If you
fail tc sow wheat within the next
four weeks, you will have to wait
another year. Increase your wheat
acreage new.
Ponce on Er.r?b A^r.-r?.
After mort than four years of the
bloodiest war the wbrid has ever
known the Dove of Peace is again
hovering over war-torn Europe. The
11th day cf November, 1918, will go
?down in history as the most momen
tous day of the ages. Idore hearts
were made to genuinely rejoice on
that day than probably cn any pre
vious, day silice th'e beginning of
?time. \
I Indeed Amener, has much to give
thanks for. The countries of Europe
still lie prostrate and bleeding. Their
wounds will not fully heal for many
generations, while America, with the ;
exception of the men who went to j
the front arid their loved ones at.
home,, have felt the war but little.
To us, in the main, it has been-an era I
of prosperity. And even fer a long !
time hereafter America will make ?
money supplying the needs of the :
destitute people of Europe. Our peo
ple ma?e favorable termination of
the wyr possible and it seems that we
pre to be well rewarded for the part
we have taken in the conflict. We
entered when the enemy's forcer
were largely spent, consequently our
casualty list, which shows the on!;*
real sacrifices made, was compara
tively light.
Peace again reigns and the Amer- ?
icari people have much to give thanks
for.
The Locaf Board. j
The four calls that bav? been re- j
ceiyed by the local beard-?ve white
men to bc inducted November 15",
4-1 colored men November 19, '?t? col-j
crad men Xoveihbex 21 and five white j
men November 2.">-were all revoked ;
by telegram yesterday morning. Kow
ever, in the same telegram the board j
was instructed to ? proceed with ^the |
classifications and physical 'examina- ;
tior.e. It is pleasing information to j
the members of the beard to have \
the calls annulled but not altogether
pleasing that the other work of the I
board must continue without inter- j
ruption.
Since thc signing of the armistice
the members of the board, after IS ;
months of difficult and arduous work, ?
were hopeful that they would be vuus-J
cered out of the service. But it seems
that such-will not be the case. How- ?
ever, t?ey are willing to remain at j
the post of duly as long as the gov-i
eminent needs their services. WP. are
pf the opinion that very few, if any
more, men will be sent tb the train-j
ing camps. *
The b??rd ha?, acting under in
structions from the adjutant general,
notified the men in Class One OL' Sep
tember 12 registration, between the
ages of 19 and '?3 years, inclusive,
who have not been examined, to re
port to the office of the board at nine
o'clock Friday morning.
Later:
Late yesterday afternoon the local
board received the^ following tele
gram from State Headquarters in Co
lumbia:
"I am in receipt ci the following
telegram, from the Provost Marshall
General ami you are directed to ob
serve samo, \S 'cretary of War has
today issued the following order:
You will at once instruct all Slate
headquarters and local and district
boards immediately to discontinue
all work connected with the classifi
cation of men who on September 12.

You will further instruct raid beards
to continue to complete as expedi
tiously as possible the classification
of all registrants who on September
12, 1918, had attained their 19th
birthday and had not attained their
37th? birthday. You will, finally, at
the earliest possible moment direct all
local and district boards to issue
questionnaires to all registrants who
on September 12, i 918, had attain
?'1 their 18th birthday and had not
ained their li)lh birthday, and to
proceed with and complete as early
possible the classification of such
registrants:
" 'in entering, pursuant to the fore
roing instructions, upon that which
seems, in view of thc mighty events
of'the day, to be the final work i
this character to be done by the se
lective service system.. 1 extend tc

Th? country and thc world knows
