Aad tho boot part of

A?asm manifested. It was
mpka plain that the Amerination
is determined to
aaesscute this war to a sucShseful
conclusion at any
coot.
The hardast task ia befora
oa la June. The government
la depending upon tba sale of
tpe billion dollars worth of
Wtr 8arings 3tamps during
thU year, aad of this amount
?pacta Booth Carolina to
pgrchsse over 1X0,000,000

greater investment than we
ware oalled upon tosmake in
tlfia last two Liberty Loans
eombiaed. The government
has designated the month of
June as the period for securing
definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
of the year, with a fair proportion
of actual purchases
dnring that month.
We have been *?anr>latl>is
the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that we have lost sight of the
other purpose involved in
this government issue, ?
namely, providing a form of
investment which is suitable
to the groat mass of peopla,
who do not find it convenient
to visit banks to pay installments.
but who can see either
the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale of
W. 8. S.. and can secure from
hlgs * War Savings Stamp,
which pays practically the
spjoe interest as a Liberty
As he continues to pasts^
his 96.00 stamps?which coat
him but slightly over $4.00?
an his certificate, he has aa
actual governmeat bond of
tha value of all the War Savings

1913. A War Savings Stamp
bought in June for $4.17 will
be cashed for $8.00 In the
same time. The value of a
War Savings Stamp does not
fluctuate as Is the case with
a bond, because the government
guarantees that a War
Savings Stamp increases one
cent a month in value. It
can be redeemed any time before
maturity.
From June 14 to June 38
we are calling for pledges
from the mass of people of
our state to the amount of
$20,000,000, these pledges to
be redeemed during the balance
of the year as may best
be suited to the subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
toot of the list of states la
its per capita purchases of
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 28, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to it that we do
our#part and take a more appropriate
place in the roll of
states?and then we can look
forward to a rest from campaigns
until November.
Let us not forget that the
Government is relying on the
country's purchase of two billions
of dollars' worth of W.
S. S. during this year as an
important part of its revehue
to pay for what the boys need
on the other side. That
thought should stir us all to
instant action. Our soldiers
don't grumble or ask for rest.
If we supply them with all
that American genius and energy
can produce, victory will
be hastened and many lives
saved. How can we expect
to rest, how can we endure
the thought of restloc when
there is something for us to
do, as long as our boys are in
the trenches enduring the torments
of hell, and giving
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and prosperity!

I WAR SAVINGS STAMPS HONTAXABLE.
Whtn preparing for tho issuing
of Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Csrticatsa tha national admlnistratration
vary wisely decided ttapt
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, stats or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost everything
else is subject to impost.
As tha amount that an Individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
ooncession doss not dsal unjustly
toward othsr security holders.
It is simply an inducement to the
small investor to make an unusual
effort In his own and his country's
behalf by depositing as much of his
surplus with the government as
possible. Those who buy these little
bonds?and all should do Itshould
understand In advance of
the coming daye of taxation return
in April that whatever of their
earned savings or surplus derived
from economies Is converted Into
Thrift Stamps or War Savings Certificates
need not bo recorded upon
the assessor's blank. As the Interest
and principal are payable in
? 1923, neither is it necessary to
make mention of the Investments'
in the return to the Income tax collector.
They are? as stated, absolutely
free and, as they also pay 4 per
cent compound interest, are the
best securities that one can buy In
these troubled times.

In asking people to inveat
in War Savings Stamps, the
Government is not asking
them to contribute moneyIt
Is merely asking (or the
use of money, and willing to
pay liberally for It.
The Government simply
Jwisnes 10 employ your money
and pay for its services just
as it would employ you and
" pay you for your services.
You will get your money
back with interest ? compound
interest at the rate of
4 per cent per annum. The
stamps mature in five years,
but you can cash them any
time you wish before the
date of maturity and still get
interest?at three per cent.
If you need the services of
, your money before five years,
I the savings stamp handed to
! the postmaster will be the
B letter of resignation, and
you'll get your money back
with additional payment for
,t the time the Government has
d used it.
There is no red tape, no
" bother, no uncertainty, no
I- ' worry. It is the simplest,
n safest, and most satisfactory
!# 1 investment you can make.

I Great Whent Stocks
Isolated.
It's the 8hortnge in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
, Great stocks of wheat are lsolated
in India, and Australia. At
s- great sacrifice In ship space and
>y use the Allies are forced to seK"
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 100.000,000 bushels of
*)
wheat that was ready for export?but
there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 80,000,000
bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 18O.000.000 bushels
waiting for ships
India, at the same time, had
iO,000,000 bushels of wheat
.x stored for export During April
J 50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina dosed the last shlp_
ptnp season with I1.000.OO0
bushels of wheat left In the
I stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,000,000 to
i the left over.
