We publish elsewhere in ibis issue u communication from a lady of Sen eon relative lo a memorial for the soldiers of that section of Ibo county. Our soldiers are returning now rap idly and in numbers, and a little while later there will be proposals on every hand to erect memorials to Hie memory of those who have made tho supreme sacrilice on the field of Ibattlc in defense of liberty and na tional freedom. Time was when our minds ran always lo shafts of mar ble and granite when wo considered lt proposition to perpetuate the mem ory of a man or a body of men whose deeds deserved more than passing consideration. Tho day for this kind of memorial is passing. W e are coin ing to (he time when those who seek to memorialize worthy citizens look lo a moro practical and at the same time a more beneficent manner of doing honor to the. living and the dead. In the present Instance our cor respondent advances the idea of a memorial building in commemora tion of the soldiers of tho Seneca Dis trict, this to be in the shape of a ?rm bl ic building in Seneca. The idea is a good one one that, wo hope to seo <arried out in every effort that is put forth looking to tho memor ializing of our soldiers in the world war. We commend most heartily the suggestion that has been made, not alone in tin? present effort that is being made al Seneca, hut we re spectfully direct attention to this mode of commemoration in all scc f.ions ol our county and Statt? where such eilorts will ho made. Coming down to a more speedie point, wt? suggest that ibis is a most admira ble idell to be taken up hy the people of Walli illa and vicinity. We have lost several of Ibo young men of ibis imm?diate section in the cause of liberty, ?ind it would I?, a most ad mirable plan lo coin memora t e their nieinorv Ihrougli the medium of a handsome and substantial building for the use and bonolll ol' Hie public .

And so it is with (iorniany. The terms ( seem very hard to ber. lier eyes aro i closed to the scenes of devastation . in ruined Belgium and ravaged ; Franco; her ears are deaf to t?o? piteous appeals of Innocent women and children wantonly and ruthlessly slain- and worso than slain-hy the hordes of barbarians sent out to master the world that her Km poror might become tho earthly rulor of the unlvor.se. These things havo all been forgotten, and nothing is seen hut the fact that the Gorman armies were totally defeated and their cause ignominiously lost. Tho Gorman eye sees naught now hut that which she is looking for --magnanimity on tho part of the victors, and a light pen alty, that she may quickly regain her strength and begin again pre paration for another attempt to con quer and rule the world. The terms handed to tho repre sentativos of tho (?orinan people last Wednesday, while hard, are hy no means adequate to make reparation for the great wrong done to the peo ples Of tho earth. The worst that could possibly bo done could never bo sudlclontly sovoro to offset the, wort; of the German armies. lt is a peculiarly fitting circum stance that the terms wore handed to tho German people on last Wed nesday. May 7th. On May 7th, 19 15, the Lusitania was sent to the bottom of the ocean by the German subma rine ZdtX. One thousand one hun dred and fifty-four persons lost their lives in this German crime on the high seas, one hundred i.nd fourteen of these unfortunate victims of "Ger man civilization" being A.morican citizens. This was the direct act of demoniacal arrogance that brought tho United States actively into the lists of those who swore to punish the perpetrators of a thousand crimes liol loss atrocious. Other na tio'is c n look back and see these things, and they cannot forgot; tho German people would forget all: nor are they even now penitent, if we may take some of the utterances of their present leaders as representa tive of (!??mnn national thought und opinion. We need pay little atten tion to Germany's cry for moro len ient peace terms. Wo do not believe thal better terms will ho offered cert;-inly. Ill our opinion, there is no reason for i further "tempering o/ 'iud ce wit h mercy." AS TO IU '.UMNO. We are in receipt of a request from tho govorniiiont tb ii I we "run a series of slogans advising every body to 1 Mn itel Now". We are told lo urge persistently and regu arly that all building that can he i ashed up now be done in pref rene ? to waiting till later in tho year, or till another year. Wo wisb 'hat conditions wore such as lo Justify us in complying with this request, hut they are not. The ;;ovor:iment is also urging thal everybody ri iso all the food and feed crops possible and this advice is sound. Kood and feed will be, wo ?re told, both scare?! and high for several years to come, and "the i ulled Slates must, lo a large ex lent, for several years lo come, feed the world." Very well. If we uro "to food the world." how are wo to do it, or to do our part ot it, if we neglect the planting of Hold crops and gardens? And how are we to plant, cultivate and harvest if we have not the labor with which to do it ? We do not know, of course, that conditions prevailing in our midst are thu sam?; as conditions prevail ing generally tiver the State and na tion, if they are, then the advice to "build now" is out. of place, for here we aro wofully short of labor for agricultural purposes, lt seems to us thal tho production of food and feed is the one great essential to-day. Locally, wo see on all sides gar dens implanted, Heids not. yet hav ing been touched by the plow. Why? There is no labor available for the work. The unusual and unreason able prices hoing paid for carpenter work have attracted from the farm lines the men who ordinarily do the farm and garden work. They are now building: they are employed nt non-essential work, largely, and at a time when their services are sorely needed in the line of food and feed production nu essential line. Why build now al a period .criti cal In tho line of agriculture? Tho labor now needed in tho farm and garden work is needed now or not at all. lt will soon be too late for this class of essentially productive labor to ho valuable. Why not set aside all building work not absolute ly essent lal? This non-essential work can be taken up later in tho fall, be tween farm and garden seasons, giv ing opportunity for men to labor at food production work now at the critical period, and tho seasons will automatically release them for tho building needs. Last year we had a "work or light" proposition before us. and it was a mighty good thing, and pul many a man lo work who otherwise would have idhd away his lime or engaged in some non-essential task/ We need something to-day that will have a similar effect, for, while there is a marked shortage of labor, there ls no shortage in the ranks of Ibo hab itual loafer ;.

Quality Goes Clear 2hrou?h A Frame That Holds Its Place A distorting, weaving frame can do an uncanny amount of damage. It can split up the body, set the doors askew, pull off thc fenders, throw things out of line generally and make squeaks that defy the oil can. The Dort frame is built so solidly as to withstand the most severe shocks and strains. Its main structure is of generously large pressed-steel channel. Beneath the radiator each side mem ber of the frame is firmly fastened together by a heavy cross member. At tiie clutch is another cross member giving solid support for the rear sus pension of the engine. Behind the transmission is another, and at the rear a fourth cross member, both given added rigidity by wide gussett plates. It is strong, with uniformity from end to end. The Dort is as strong throughout the chassis. Ask us to tell you about it. BALLENGER HDWE. & FURN. CO., Seneca, 5. C. Agents for Dort and Chalmers Cars, Oconcc County.
