In asking people to invest in war savings and war thrift stamps, the government is not asking them to contribute money. It is merely asking for the use of money, and is willing to pay liberally for it. The government simply wishes to employ your money and pay you 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 pel 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, the savings stamps handed to the postmaster will be the letter of resignation, and you'll get your money back with additional payment for the time the government has used it. There is no red tape, no bother, no uncertainty, no worry. It is the simplest, and most satis mnui y in vraiuitriiL yuu can mane. The Daylight Bill. Lots of folks are puzzling their heads over the "daylight saving" law which we are about to have as a further regulation of our habits and as a "war measure." At first they do not see the wisdom of it. It is practically going back to the "sun time" rule of our fathers and means getting up earlier and going to bed earlier, that's all there is to it. This will be accomplished by setting clocks ahead one hour on April the first, or the last day of \H \ A .1 ? ? - ^ iviarcn 10 me last day ot September, thus substituting an hour of sunshine at one end of the day for an hour of artificial light at the other. The great American. Benjamin Franklin, first suggested the idea, but the modern evangel of it was William Wallet. an Englishman, who published some ten years ago a pamphlet on "Waste of Daylight," in which he strongly presented his case. Germany adopted the plan in 1916. She was followed by Holland. Austria, Turkey, England, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, parts of Canada, and even some cities in the | United States. The bill providing for it for the whole country was introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Calder, of New tr i .... i orK. uetroit nas had it in effect for some time and there is general approval. I^abor men i are strong for it. Se get ready for it. You will find it just about what you were raised on, and it will do you good to get back to the habit of getting up sooner and going to bed sooner.?Greenwood Index. He's Here, Too. Right here in America, in South Carolina?ye?, right here in Co-, iombia- you will find the man mrr who, in the face of the meagre details of the great world conflict now going ou in France, when the vainglorious German Kaiser, in his attempt to dictate to the the entire world, is sending splendid men to death and making widows and orphans by the tens of thousands in Europe, you will fin<l tliof maa ntliA mil 11ixYA vupv nwi miu oajro tuat America has no chance, that we are fighting a losing game, that we can't possibly whip the Germans, that they are too shrewd and too strong for us. He is here?watch him. For that man, though he be ignorant, though he display little | backbone, is aiding and abettingi the enemy. He may not know : it, but the man who falters in a i crisis like this, when pessimism is talked to the little informed, the very thing that the German propagandists did to poor Italy, and caused there such a collapse as the world has never seen? j and all unnecessary. That man, who persists in say- j inir that we can't win. is an ene- I my to his country. Tell him so. Make him see, in no unmeasured terms, that there is left yet untouched that American spirit which has ever remained undei feated.?Columbia Record. His Belief in Missions. The editor of the Clover Messenger apparently is a i staunch Bleasite bnt not near so I strong on foreign missions. Here is what he says, in part, in i the last issue of his paper on the latter subject: "I am a firm believer in foreign | missions. "When an American business man goes to a foreign country, and is ill treated, I believe it is i our dutv to send as manv mis sionaries as may be necessary to I hat country to adjust the mat-1 ler, and see that he is protected. These missionaries should all be well trained men ?not too olddressed in United States uniform, and, in addition to the Bible, I each should carry a Springfield rifle. They should be led by an experienced man, and backed up by all the artillery and warships necessary to insure respectful treatment when they have landed. "That's the sort of missionary ; I am. "I have never been able to understand why a man should cross the ocean with a ship load of shingles to distribute free to a foreigner (who didn't want rhem) when his own roof at home was so full of holes it would leak billiard balls. "I have never discovered the wisdom of authority (outside ol j a mauldin sentiment encouraged ; by beneficaries) in rushing across i the ocean to feed a rat-eating Chinaman, when some poor widow or orphan child within a i stone's throw of your own door : was going to bed hungry, six: nights in the week. "If I have money to spend, and want to honor God by dividing my plenty with those who have nothing. I fail to understand why I had not better pay the rent for some poor homeless man or woman in my own vicinity (and say nothing about it) than to get up in a crowded house and subscribe : $1,000 to be used in sending a man to Africa to try and induce some kinky-headed nigger to leave off eating roasted lizards and snake egg omelettes and take to bread and bacon." Nailing Soldiers' Packages. Persons who send mail to the L r xU _ T3 I mviuuers ui me r,xpeuiuonary Forces are particularly requested in a statement issued by the postoffice department, to use ink only in writing the addresses. Every piece of this mail matter should also bear the name and address of the sender. \0 Heavy paper, canvas, or cloth, should be used for wrapping the packages. When canvas or cloth is used the address should be written on a shipping tag, with the name and address of the sender on the reverse side. Given names should be written in full, instead of initials. The title of the addressee and the full name of the unit or organization to which he is assigned should he added, it being sufficient in the way of further ad- j dress to use the words "American Expeditionary Forces."

The coin was too far down to permit its removal and it was pushed down into the little fellow's stomach and the doctors do not anticipate further trouble. Farther Cat in Flour Consumption. The American table must respond to the world crisis and again cut its consumption of wheat products. Herbert Hoover Saturday afternoon issued his expected regulations limiting wheat consumj tion to one and a half pounds per person per week?about 50 per cent of normal. As h "milirnrv measure" this saving?amounting to 21,000,000 bushels per month ?must be accomplished until the next harvest. In addition to requests for sharp voluntary conservation steps, bakers were ordered to increase weat flour substitutes to 25 per cent April 14th. Twenty per cent adulteration is now required. Still greater percentage of substitution may be required later, the food administration warned. Elliott Springs Gets Commission. Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, is in receipt of a letter from the wai4 department stating that his son, Elliott White Springs, had been commissioned as first lieutenant in the American aviation corps on recommendation by cablegram from General Pershing on February 25, and tnat he was now serving with the American expeditionary forces in Europe. Lieut. Springs went to five or six different fields in England to thoroughly equip himself on war machines, he having learned to fly before he left America. He trained with the Royal flying corps with the fast scout division and there did some instruction work until entering actively into the service with the American expeditionary forces. Camps for Older Hen. It became known in Washington Mondav that hppanco tl-va ?y v..?.v uvVUUUU VI tu^ war situation, the war department. acting with the senate committee on military affairs, will immediately take steps to prepare several training camps capable of accommodating about 25,000 men between the ages of 31 and 45. It will be noted that these camps will take in men above the present draft age, yet young enough to be active in the field. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia is taking the initiative In this matter and has introduced a resolution calling upon the war department to give the senate in executive session all availahl^ information relating to present training camps. This is. the forerunner, it is said, of*' the next step,, which will be the authorization of the camps, which has not y-et been determined, and is considered one of the most important steps which has been taken- since the war began.

NEED BIG HERDS ' Europe's Meat Supply Must Come I From America. Warring Nations Have Depleted Live 8tock at Enormous Rate, Evei Killing Dairy Cattle For Food. American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds In order to meet Europe's tremenilotis demands for meats during the war and probably for many yenrs afterward. The United States food administration reports that American stock raisers have shown a disposition to co-operate with the government In Increasing the nation's supply of live stock. Germany today is probably better supplied with live stock than any other European nutlon. When the German armies made their big ndvnnce Into France and then retreated virtually all the i-Hltla In ?!>?. lniio.l??l territory ? approximately 1,800,000 head -were driven behind the German lines. Hut In England?where 2,400,000 neres of pasture lands have been turned Into grain fields?the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently Is the declining maximum price scale adopted by the English as follows: For September, $17.70 per 100 pounds; October, $17.28; November and December, $10.08; Janlary, $14.40. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the market as soon as possible. In France the number of cattle as well as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,807,000 head of cattle In 1013, she now has only 12,341,000, a decrease of 16.0 per cent. And France Is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two nun oiie-nair gallons norore the war. Denmark and Holland liave been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef because of the lack of necessary feed. Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Administration that the future problem of America lies largely in the production of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the production of cereals for export when the war will have ceased.
