PirauamNa Oo. FARM LABOR SHORTAGE. Each week the Department of Labor m Washington sends out reports as to the shortage and surplus of labor in the va rious states of the nation. . The last few weeks have shown that over the larger portion of the country there is an increas ing surplus of labor, save in the South where there is a shortage of labor for the farms and what is known as common labor. Two reasons suggest thera- ‘selves as answers to this condi tion. The practice of demobil izing the returned troops at the cities where, they are put ashore in America has been roundly condemned by those city authorities, on the ground that these discharged soldiers feel the attractions of a great city, and moved by higher wages there than they have ever received in the agricul tural section from which they came. With the result that sooner or later they add to the burdens of the cities where they stop. This may be true or not, but many who were taken from the farmf or the army t will never return to farm labor again. While farm labor receives a smaller money income than is paid for the same unskilled la bor in cities, yet it cannot be called underpaid when all things are considered. It is such an ancestor was a revolu tionary soldier. A few years ago the state of Virginia ap pointed a commissioner of Con federate records. In the back corners of the state the news never came, and the names of many brave soldiers who serv ed through four years will never be placed on that roll of honor. We should avoid this error of the past wars. In a sense we have called the drafted men our roll of honor. Beside them however should stand the names of those who served in the national guard, and those who served in the navy, and those from Barnwell county who were at the time in ’the regular service. This register of service should be signed in person by the men who fought. Who will take hold of it to make it a success? GETTING by with it. This expression belongs to true slang in that it tells clear ly in a few words what could not be clearly expressed if slang was not used. Its mean ing may be gained from a re cent conversation with a Barn well county boy who had join ed the navy. In mentioning the various rules and regula tions to which the naval recruit must conform he said, “It does n’t make much difference what you know or don’t know, but whether you can get by with it or not, but if you don’t get by with it you are good for the brlg:“~ “The brig" being sail or’s slang for the ship’s prison. If that young man succeeds in still *true that farm labor over- the navy^he will placehis main - " * dependence on keeping naval emulations rather than trying in increasing numbers. It has to get by with it also been suggested that the Once a professional man discharged soldiers who ' were said of another “he is doing the farm laborers have shown a biggest business on the small est capital of anyone he knew.’’ Yet he seemed lo this man to have gotten by with it. It is true that sometimes a man rolls in on the crest of a wave riot of his making, but in the long, run he faces failure. Sometimes in business a man disinclination to go to Work, but prefer to live on their army . pay as long as it lasts. Mean- whilr^he farm work needs them now.

Statement by Secretary Glass Regarding War Savings Stamps. My attention has been direct ed to the numerous offers made by unscrupulous persons through advertisements and in other ways to buy War Savings Certificate Stamps and as a re sult of such offers I am inform ed that owners of such securi ties have suffered material loss es which could have been avoid ed by redemption of the War Savmgs Certfffcate Stamps “ST post offices, as provided by law. I therefore direct the atten tion of. the public, particularly such persons as have made of fers of the character above men tioned, to the following terms and conditions which are print ed on the back of the War Sav ings Certificate of the series of 1918: .“This Certificate is of no value except to the owner named here on, and is not transferable.” “The law provides that no one person shall at any one time hold War Savings Certificates to an aggregate amount exceed ing one thousand dollars.” “Certificate — This certifies that subject to the terms and conditions printed hereon, the owner named on the back here of will be entitled to receive on January 1, 1923, in respect of each United States Warjjavings Certificate Stamp of the series of 1918 then affixed hereto, the amount indicated thereon as then payable, or, at his option, will be entitled to receive at any earlier date, in respect of each such stamp then affixed hereto, the lesser amount indicated in the table printed hereon.” Treasury department circular No. 128, issued December ' 18, 1918, and referring to "War Sav ings Certificate Stamps, series of 1919, contains amongst oth ers the following provisions; “Any owner of a War Savings Certificate, series of 1919, at his option, will be entitled to re ceive, at any time after January 10th, 1919, and prior to Jan uary 1, 1924, at a money-order post office (the office where reg istered in th6 case of a register ed. certificate), upon surrender of his certificate and upon com pliance with all other provisions thereof, in respect of each War Savings Certificates Stamp, se ries of 1919, then affixed to such certificate, the amount indicated* in the following table, but_.no. post office shall make any such payment until 10 days after re ceiving written demand there for, and such certificate must be surrendered for payment within 60 days after such demand, oth erwise the demand will be deem ed to be waived and a new de mand will be required before payment,” “War Savings Certificates, se ries of 1919, are not transfer- . . * a able and will be payable only to lh* respective - owners named DEATH Of MRS.

The post- office department, cooperating with the treasury department, has issued instruc tions whereby payment will be refused whenever it is apparent ment, prove conclusively that these swindlers take' every ad vantage of bond owners who are forced into^their clutches by paying the lowest possible price which the owner will accept— and generally far below the ac tual value of the bonds. I regret to observe that many reputable newspapers are being victimized by accepting the ad vertisements of these swindlers, and I appeal to all newspaper publishers to scrutinize very carefully the character of indi viduals who use their columns to offer to buy Liberty Bonds. As a newspaper publisher, I believe ' that it is the duty of publishers to protect their readers against unscrupulous advertisers. Other swindlers endeavor u\ trade worthless articles or se curities of little value for Lil»a> ty Bonds! and I appeal to pa triotic publishers to assist in putting an end to this practice. - The treasury department will take such steps as are possible under the law to protect the in terests_of holders % of Liberty Bonds, and will use every means—- at its command to bring to jus tice all who seek to defraud the « people who tiave so partiotically assisted in winning the war by investup; their savings in Lib erty Bonds and War ' Savings Stamps. - Owners of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps should in no circumstances part with these securities unless necessity compels, and then, they should deal only with reliable banks, trust companies, banking insti tutions and others w’hoso reputa tion for integrity is beyond ques- that changes have been m&de in the name of the original owner tion.
