Buy Them And
Help Win The War
FOR SALE EVERYWHERE
Lend ?Not Give.
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

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."

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.

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.
