For the purpose of equipping this country for war this year Congress has appropriated 1 billion dollars. Do you know what a billion dollars is? Perhaps you can understand it a lit tle better when you know that all the money spent by our government from its beginning down to the present time amounts to little over 26 billion dollars. And just think the U. S. has got to have 19 billion dollars in one year. Where is it coming from? Why right from the United States. Our people are going to raise it. And how? By saving-in every way they can. There are numberless ways in which we can save. We can deny our selves of many little pleasures and luxuries which are not beneficial to us-such as buying cold drinks, candy, chewing gum and going to moving picture shows and other places of amusement. This is not a time for amusements, but for serious thoughts. But don't take it all out in thinking let us got to work and help our soldier boys win this great fight. It is easy to save our pennies, nickles, (limes, and it will surprise you to know how quickly nickles and dimes will amount to dollars. Do not spend your money foolishly for things you do not need, for every time you spend a dollar you either help our government or you help the enemy. There are three things you can do with a dollar: You can hoard it; you can spend it, or yOu can invest it. A hoarded dollar is an idle dollar and is just as much a drag on a community as an idle man. The idle dollar is a slacker, But there is something worse than a slacker. A slacker does not do anything actively to defeat the nation's purposes. A dollar that you spei:d needlessly, a dollar that employs labor and con sumes material that could be used by the government, is an ally to the ene my. If you hoard your money and the Germans win this war, your mon ev will be worthless, so why keep it? The president is sending a direct ap. peal to you, boys and girls, to save your money and lend it to the Govern ment. Do not let your dollar be a slacker, or traitor dollar, but make the most of it a patriotic dollar by lending it to the government. Because Uncle Sam needs money to fight your battles, to protect you' homes he is having a special bar gain sale of War-Savings Stamps. To (lay you can buy a $5 War-Savings Stamp for $4.16. Next month they will cost you $4.17, and in December $4.23. They cost one cent more each month, and if you buy one today it ber. When you buy a Thrift Stamn you can get a pocket folder with spaces for 16 War Savings Stamps. It is the Government's promise to pay the amount represented by the stamp and it can be redeemed in January, 1923, or before then if the money is needed. It is as good as a bank note or a Liberty Bond, and is one of the safest investments we can make of our money. To those who cannot afford to buy a Bond the Government is selling Thrift Stamps. These stamps cost only 25 cents and are similar to postage stamps. Any boy or girl can buy one of these. But don't stop with one; buy as many as possible. You can get a Thrift Card free with your name on it when you buy a Thrift Stamp. When 16 stamps have been attached to your Thrift card it is then worth $4.00. This $4.00 card, together with the odd( cents reqluiredl, may then be used( to buy a War Savings Stamp at the month selling price. [Now, what are y~ou going to do0? Are you going right on spending your money foolishly, thus aidling the en ('my andl proving a traitor to your country? Or are you going to save all the money you can and buy Tlhrift Stamps that wil Ibe helping our Gov ernment and our Allies. Gur' boys at the front are fighting for us--to pro tect our homes, our country, our~ loved ones and us. But they can't win the war alone. When our Liberty and F ,ree~dom are threatened, are we going to sit idly at home and (do nothing ? Let us get to work and (do our bit in this wvar. If we ('annot fight there are countless wvays in which we can help, Sc) let us get to wvork and buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, 9 and give our brave soldier boys such hearty support at home that it will put new courage in them, and they will be sure to be victorious in thi's great struggle. Jameis C'oskrey Who) wants to win the wvar? I Who is helping to win it? The money cost of our Civil War wvas about eight bill ion dollars. The G;reat War has alreadl cost over a hun dred billion.

There is only one( way to cure catarrh al dea fness, and that Is by a consti tutional remedy. Ca ta rrhal D ea fness Sis causedl by an i nflame'd conditLion of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tlube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imper feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tuhh restored to its normal condi Stion, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Many cases of dleafness are caused by entarirh, wvhich is an in flaimed ,cond ition of -the mucous sur.. faces. 'Hall's Catarrh Medlicine acts the bloodl on the mucous surfac softesystem. IWe will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of catarrhal D~eafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars h'ee. All drug gists, 75c. F. J. CH ENEY A CO., Toledo, 0n Mai A But CFFEE, 'SK YOUR GR M lies, Great Britain has spent seven. France five and Germany six. Nor should it be forgotten that both our population and national wealth great ly exceed those of any of the three. It takes pennies to make dollars. If every one in the country were to save a penny a day the total would exceed a million dollars. A million a. day means three hundred and sixty five millions a year. Ten cents a day means nearly four billion a year -almost the amount of the Second Liberty Loan. When nevt you are tempted to say to yourself "My mite is so small that it couldn't count," re member these figures. Remember these figures. Remember that the might of the nation depends on your mite, and that every needless expendi ture you resist makes it so much easi er for you- and some one else- to resist the next time. A Thrift Pocket is a character builder; it tests your capacity to re sist. You will find it alluring as the Penny Bank you once had on the man tle piece. Select the pocket-any one will do-and then select the coin. Suppose your "Thrift Coin" is a nickle. Every nickle you get goes in to the thrift pocket. You can not bor row from the thrift poc:et, nor lend from it. Experience proves that it isn't wise even to make change from it, and that it is a failure if you are not honest, scrupulously honest with it. Exery time it gets over-heavy go to the Post Office or a bank-Thrift Stamps are light. All the dolhrs in the world could not buy victory, becaur-e victory is not purchasable-it is won. Dollars can work for victory only in so far as they are converted into labor and ma terials. A dollar hoarded is a slacker a dollar wasted is a traitor; a dollar saved is as patriot. For a hoarded dollar represents idle power; a vast ed dollar represents wasted power; a dollar saved represents power saved, labor saved, materials saved-it rep resents pover, labor, and materials in action, on the firing line, over the top. A nd more--it represents reserve pow er, energy stored, purchasing power conserved for its owner. .John Wesley said, "Mak all you can; save all you all; give all you can." Nevelle Sprott It has been said by some great thinker that the test of success is the ability to save. Do you wish to be successsful? Then you must save! Do you wish to be patriotic ? Then you must save. I)o you expect to win this war? Then you must save!. I am sure that none of us means to be un patriotic. We would not be slackers for the world, but the greatest trou ble with us Americans as a whole, the great trouble with us South Carolin ians, yes, the great trouble with us, the people of Clarendon County and the town of Manning is that wve do not take the time to consider seriously this great question of Saving. It would be easy to save if we would only think that in the taking care of our pennies, nickles and dimes, we are taking care of our boys over there, giving them food, clothing and wveap ons with which to fight for their free (loim and for. the freedom of us who are at home. I used to th ink that the only way of helping to wvin this was was by actually going over the top, " and on the front firing lines, shoot dlown our enemies, and I am glad it is not that way, for I am too young to fight and I do so want to help in some self-sacrificing way to wvin this, the greatest war of human history. E'verybodly is anx ions to (do his p~art. If we are to win it is ab~solutely nec'essary that every man, wvoman, boy or girl do his or her part. D~o n)ot buy a thing unless it is simeth ing you nmust have to make you strong and ef ficient. IDo not waste anything. Your country is dlepending on you.
