The decision of tho war industries board to stop the inanufs' ure of an tomobiles is a stroke that will servt two purposes: it will put a sudder check on the useless expenditure o 1 money and force the joy riders t< take up some useful occupation. Th< free circulation of money has mad< of us a nation of pleasure seeker; and joy riders and it is n<>t fair t< the boys suffering hardship?, in tin trenches to permit the stay-at-homei to indulge In these pleasures when ' they could be doing something to ~p help win ihe war.

In northern climes especially?and ''that includes practically the entire ' geography of our country?we do , not know how to keep the amount i of clothes we wear commensurate with the tail of tbemometor. Notice this difference: When we retire on a not night we do not put | heavy covers over our bodies. Some 1 of us, in fact, scarcely use a single covering in addition to the nightie. But consider the weight of men's trousers?even summer trousers. And they are worn during the daytime on top of the other garments; I the shirt is worn on top of another jalso. | Id other words, in the day time jwe are dressed much more heavily ith-an we would permit during the J night, when it is cooler. I The natives in Africa, where it is hot all the time, know how to cir-J Icumvent the heat situation. | They go naked. ' MAKJXCi OI K CHUUCHK8 EFFI-j CI EXT. According to Dr. Frederick Agar, 'of New York, the church is the most inefficient organization on 'earth. I Compared with the efficiency of more mundane employments, the ( 'New York clergyman is probably right, yet there are many things in > connection with the work of a ichurch that simply cannot be made 'efficient under present conditions. The main thing is that there is no one paid to take care of the finances I of the church or do the secretarial jwork?matters that Dr Agar in particular referred to. The result is that ! the work is done by a board of trusj tees with a secretary who is compell Ivu iu ancuu iu nis auues in his spare time. For promotion purposes there is no directing head and no expert I methods nor even money. The great difficulty with most of our churches is that they are always "hard up" for money; and as fate would have it, the overhead expenses usually eat up all the surplus cash on hand, so that the urge for finances is always great and the ways of getting money about like Dr. Agar I hinted. The clergyman particularly attack- ? od the methods of churches in relying upon women to do so much of the money raising, and in this he undoubtedly hit a sore spot. The women of our churches, it is clear to any observer, usually do nine-tenths of the work in connection therewith, and' iu addition are big factors in getting money to pay expenses. They are up to all kinds of schemes and were it not lor the church "circles"?composed of women?it is clear that most of our churches would run into debt. In the work of accumulating money, howeier, means are employed by ; women that should not be necessary.1, They often act as salesmen for out-j of town concerns in the sale of ar! tides in competition with local uier-j chants who operate under law and j pay taxes for the privilege of doing > business; the church, on the other hand, is not protected by law and does not need to pay taxes. If the church, as Dr. Agar hints, goes into business, it should be forced to pay a business tax. But to this problem of church finances there is no end. There is only one way out. and that is that ovorv i i member should be made to pay his share of the expenses. Those that1 'refuse should be stricken from the': rolls as active members. Such action would not deny to them the privilege of attending church worship, but would tend to dissipate the camouflage that they are real supporting members. j Such a procedure however, requir, es courage. ll :i iHow Vessels Sink.

C.t August 15, 1918. iWhat was that Blease said in the 1914 campaign about there being nothing in the low country but "alligators and niggers?" - The man who used to slake his thirst at the old town pump now has a son who eats a plate of ice cream every time the heat stings him under his silk collar. One league of nations is all the world will have, because with two the question of the world's championship might later bob up again. Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky have signified their intention of coming to America, but our advice to this pretty pair of rascals is to steer clear of j American shores. There is a movement on foot to ;; place lawyers and newspapermen in class one. The man who started that movement is in a hurry to end this war. r Since the sup ir regulations really K began to regulate the grocery store ? keeper is convinced that he is a man of considerable importance to the - government. { ?The other day it was reported that 400,000 Germans had been captured, including the Crown Prince. Most anybody is ready to admit that we might capture that many Germans, u but you can't make anybody believe that we'll have an opportunity to capture the Crown Prince. There is plenty of coal in the country. We have the largest coal fields in the world and the best means of mining it. The only problem connected with the coal industry today is efficient production and distribution, and this in the face of the means to produce and the means to transport. If there is a coal fam* ' ine this winter it will be a severe reflection upon the coal administration, which has had a year to prepare for the emergency. In 1914 when Uletise was running for the senate he received 842 out of 2140 votes cast in Dillon county. In 1916 when he was running for governor he received 10 25 out of 2051 votes cast. This merely proves what we have been saying all along; That Blease's "friends" have been sticking to him for what they could Notice of Election.
