As Mr. Ford has announced that h(
will soon place a new model car or

we are hopeful of yet having a ga

Now that many of the Huns are
hungry, they can, to a very small de

the women and children of Belgium
and northern France.
All crazy peop:.e are not in the

had a milliner trim a spring hat with
$400 bills and presented it to his

Food prices may not decline much

considerably. For example, in Decem

while now it sells for only 60 cents.
The war will be indelibly impressed
upon the Germans by the time they

Thc man who has always lived at

According to an official report,
February was the busiest month

had. And just think, that was the
?routh that the legislators spent in

The world is gradually getting bet

If Edgefiel i county is to have mod

county with the county as a unit, and
not by the State at large. Each coun

A state-wide system looks all right on
paper, but when a local application is
made disappointment and dissatis
faction will result.
These who wera r.t one time appre

sufficiently exacting with the Ger

minds.

Will not somebody "sick Mm" on

Fertilize Generously But Wisely.
Commercial fertilizers were among
thc products to be placed on a war
??rice basis. Two and three years ago
commercial f?rtil..ers were sold prac
tically at thc old prices. Finally, the
expected has happened. Plant food
that is bought by the pound in. bags
is now selling at considerably advanc
ed prices-practically 100 per cent
?advance, even more in some instan-,
ces.
The high cost of labor makes lt
imperative that farmers reap the
largest harvest possible from the la
.bor expended in cultivating a c:cp.
j Therefore, at this time, more than
ever, it behooves farmers to fertilize
generously but wisely and not reck
lessly. The acreage of cotton should
be curtailed and that of tue food
crops proportionately increased, bm
be the crop whatever it may, a large
harvest per acre must be realized if
the crop is to be produced at a profit.
; Farmers should study their soils
and the crops to be grown before
purchasing their fertilizers. If com
mercial fertilizers arc to be used with
profit at the prevailing prices, as
large yield as possible must be reap
ed, and this can not be done without
intelligent thought being given to
the fertilizer question this year.
! Use commercial fertilizers gener
? ously, but usc them wisely.
Should the League Fail, What?
j We do not believe they will, but
should the efforts of President Wil
> son to establish a League of Nations
1 fail, what of lasting benefit will have
- been accomplished by the Peace Con
ference? Peace was practically ac
complished and proclaimed by the
' armistice and the compliance with its
T drastic terms made thc resumption of
) hostilities on a large scale by the en
jemy impossible at this time. We now
have peace and there will be no more
1 of the present war. What the Peace
> Conference was assembled for was
1 not to restore peace but to provide
I for a permanent peace throughout
'the earth for all time, if possible.
r j The League of Nations was con
" ccived by President Wilson to accom
plish the desired end, and unless
. some iron-clad, international agree
rWr? ^^fiig^"-iria^Li^itet "'Viii
? 'amount to more than a "scrap of pa
I per," a recurrence of war will not be
an improbable thing. Let us hope that
a League of Nations, as proposed and
, earnestly advocated by President Wil
, son, will be established. As for our
( I part, we would rather follow the lead
. ership of men of the calibre of Presi
dent Wilson and Ex-President Taft
than the handful of senators who are
severely criticizing our leaders.
If the League of Nations or some
[other similar prevention of war is not
adopted by the leading nations of the
earth, when the Peace Conference ad
journs all of the nations must of
necessity, begin to prepare for an
other war. As long as Germany is not
?restrained by some means, no nation
would be willing to be caught unpre
pared again. The consequences of un
preparedness are too unspeakably
horrible.

?tamps should not place them on
19IS certificates. If the 1918 certifi
cate has blank spaces, just put the
certificate away without filling it in
with 1919 bia m ps.
The same thrift stamps and thrift
cards are used this year as were used
last year, and when a thrift card
holding 10 stamps is filled, it will be
exch^ngsil fer a 1919 war saving
stamp cn payment of the additional
cenis, which represents the diiTerence
between the price uf the war saving
stamp, and the $4, the value of the
10 thrift stamps.
Keep your thrift stamps and your
war savings stamps firmly identified
?in your head. The thrift stamps are
! worth a quarter. The war savings
'stamps will worth $5 in a few years.
!lf any question arises about your
J stamps or how you slvjuld handle
them, go to your local post office and
