".. linn Iii In ll rnrmorj . ? NV VST I- Net' . This is a time of plenty. Plenty should not. but it too often does, in ?Piro waste. The fanner may lind himself with more corn than he needs, and it is led io stock injudi ciously, wastefully at tho beginning of the winter season, and before the next crop is gal bored he linds him self buying corn to "piece out" be tween seasons. The housewife may have several sacks ol' (lour-maybe even several barrels-and it seems an inexhaustible supply for the fam ily, and wasteful practices begin. The illustration might be carried through a thousand channels In the home, on the farm, in the business affairs of the American people, but it is not necessary. To-day, in this section, and all over tho South, money is tho most plentiful article on tho list of essen tials. And we are wasting it with a pro.'lignoy at once startling to those who think, and threatening a disas trous end. Wo have more dollars than wo have i inmediate need of, nnd, child-like, wo throw thom away. Never did money come so plentifully and so easily Into tho hands of thc people of tho South and never be fore has it gone from them so reck lessly wantonly, sinfully for waste is sinful. And il lhere was ever a lime when waste is more sinful than another, that limo is to-day. Our great and Ood-fnvorod coun try ls at war. We aro lighting, wi believe, a war made holy by the high principles involved on tho side wc base espoused; ?ind day by day wc become moro and more impressed with itu- hellet thal Almighty dod has, In ills divine wisdom and fore sight, given Into tho hand and keep ing of the people of our country thc bountiful harvests of the now swil"tl\ passing year thal we might fortify ourselves ngaliiBt the hardships ol war thal must Inevitably come, and at the same time succor those of otu allies Who lune for so long borne thc brunt of tho fighting for tho right And yet wo squalider the very weap ons and sinews of war placed In otu bands by Cod Himself! Waste to day is shameful, sinful; it is thc equivalent in civilian lifo to insubor dination and mutiny in thc army oi navy. Tho war's termination i? de pendent not alone upon thc men a tho front, their equipment in gum and ammunition, but unito as mud --and lt may be to a greater oxton -upon the provisioning of our sol diets and the soldiers of our allies our civilian population and tho civil inn populations of the countries 0 our alites. What would bo tho fate of a com nany of soldiers, or a regiment, or a brigade, or a division of soldiers, who would waste the ammunition supplied thain, or destroy lt? They would be proving themselves traitors co and enemies of their country and their country's cause. And what of the civilians who waste food, who waste money In the face of our coun try's needs, present and prospective? Morally the position of the civilian and soldier amounts to one and the same thing. Tho difference Is that upon the soldier would fall the swift penalty ol' military*law, while there is no direct penalty to Impose upon the wasteful Mvilian. Let tts stop wasting! WANT fol lows WASTE! "Waste not. want not." l?lscwherc in this issue will bo found an article by Hon. H. lt. Coker, of the State Food Administration. We hopo every reader of The Cou rier will read his article and ponder it carefully. There is a world of wholesome advice contained in that short article-a warning that may veli be taken to heart by every citi zen of our town, county, State and nation.
