Loyalty in peace f;mes and! loyalty in war times are two distinct things. Not much is required to pass the loyalty test when one's country is not at war; a simple compliance with the law is all that is required. . But loyalty in war times is not a passive quality. At such a time one may be without loyalty and still not be disloyal. A per-? -? ' ill J_ son 01 mis type win ao nuimng either to assist or to harm his country. He will not give himself to his country'8 service and )ie will not contribute financial support. Neither will he discourage others from doing this. He will do or say nothing treasonable, and neither will he do or say anything to put heart in the fighting forces or to uphold the Nation in its struggle. He will be sinfply a passive onlooker. And that is not being loyal. , Our country is fighting in the most desperate struggle of history. It is a struggle so vast and momentous as to demand the most complete support of! every one of its citizens. Passive loyalty?the loyalty of peace times?is not sufficient. The erand of loyalty now demanded is the kind that impels one to offer himself and his all, if pecessary, that his country may he victorious in the great con-' flict. Most of us can not go into the fighting forces; most of us can pot enter into those industries directly connected with the war, but all of us can show our neighbors that we have the j right brand of patriotism. Our Government is urging upon us the necessity of saving as an essential to victory. We are told that there is not enough man power and not sufficient materials in the country to win a quick victory if we continue to use this man power and these materials as we did before the war. It is pointed out that A.U 4.1 tueic are now more man 2,000,000 men in the army and liavy, and that by August 1 this number will' be increased to 3,000,000, with a steady addition to that number from then on. These men not only cease to be producers, but they be\ come consumers on a vast scale. Thus it is that we are urged to buy only those things which we need in order that we shall not nse up labor and waste materials and transportation, so vitall> necessary to the government in its war work and so much needeu fn the manufacture of things essential to the health and efficiency of our citizens. 1 By following the Government's ^ request to produce to our maximum capacity and to consume as little as possible, we shall give 'practical expression to our 'loyaity-a militant loyalty, the 'brand which stamps us as being Willing to do our part at home by sacrificing, by getting down to a war basis, by backing up bur Government with all our strength. With our money savjiiigs we can then buy War Savings Stamps and perform a double service by giving the > Government current funds with which to buy the labor and materials so much needed for war rmrrv/vjoc urhi.-Vi ma TV pMipvuvu nillWII ??

With the food administration * constantly urging the conserve- j Mm of wheat products and ' ,V" h- ' howioff the necessity for a less :onsumption of wheat flour it >ehooves the patriotic citizen vho is really desirous of doing lis bit to win the war to eliminate wheat products from his table and look for a substitute. In many communities throughout the United States the whole body of citizens have agreed to sat no wheat flour until the next hafvest and after that to use it in only such limited quantities as the government may recommend. If the elimination of wheat flour was a' real deprivation or was in the nature of a sacrifice, there- would be only slight excuse for the continued use of it, but as a matter of fact the substitution of rye flour and barley flour will work not the slightest hardship on anyone but on the contrary will probably add to the health and wealth of the family who uses it. The average housewife in the past has based the success of her loaf largely on its whiteness and to some extent on its lightness but it is not possible now to get "fancy patent" and "superlative patent" flour, artificially bleached with chemicals or electricity and the present war flour does not make a very attractive loaf from their standpoint. Since this is the case they should not hesitate to use rvp flour or hnrlpv flour tho primary objection to their use is that it is somewhat darker than he bleached flours of the past. A number of prominent farmers'in this community are finding the use of rye flour a very attractive proposition. One farmer has said that he is conside *ing the elimination of wheat entirely on his farm and raise rye in its stead since he has found that it is much more productive and satisfactory and he finds the use of the flour entirely satisfactory. Another farmer is using whole rye flour constantlv in his household with gratifying results. It is understood that the price of rye flour is probably somewhat less than that of wheat flour and there are no limits in purchasing it. The Town of Fort Mill. Says the Columbia State of Monday: "Two things," The Times, of Fort Mill, hopes: that "we will wih the war and that we live to see the day that the editor of the Rock Hill Herald will speak of Fort Mill as a town instead of a "village." The State joins in this hope and has faith, too. that the prlitnr r?f The Times will live to see the victorious conclusion of the war for the country which it serves. The Standard dictionary defines a "village as *a collection of houses, larger than a hamlet and usually smaller 'than a town or city; also its inhabitants collectively." Therefore, it would be within the Rock Hill Herald's linguistic powers, wore they malignant (which we do not believe them to be) to reduce Fort Mill another degree. We do not mind saying that to our eye Fort Mill has the look of the liveliest kind of "TOWN" in the process of bourgeoning into a city and when we survey re pores 01 tne number of men that Fort Mill has in khaki, Fort Mill's subscriptions to the Re^i hross and other war causes and tne evidences of Fort Mill's patribiic zeal, it appears about twelve times as big as one would estimate it to be upon consulting tiie figures of the last census. It is the exceptional TOWN that gets into the class with Fort Mill. Must Save Ice. Soda fountains, hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and public eating houses are advised, in official orders just issued by Williarn Elliott, food administrator for South Carolina, of the new regulations regarding the use of ice, which have already become effective. Soda t'nnntnins unH ? ? ---W MMM UVi C UI 1 I 1 r\ dealers are notified that no crushed or shaved ice shall be used or served in drinks. Hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and public eating places are forbidden to serve crushed ice or shaved ice in drinking water.

It is further provided that no ice shall be nought except for necessary use. ^ - "- TBI York County Newt Natters. ikorkville Enquirer.) Information yesterday was that Rock Hill had boucrht oVer $200. 000 worth of war savings stamps and was well on the way to $300,000 worth. There were more than thirty members of the limit club. Thirty York county negroes left Rock Hill for Camp Jackson yesterday morning and about an equal number will leave Yorkville this morning. Mr. Jack Byers of school district No. 20, said yesterday that his district had already bought about $2,500 worth of stamps, and among the purchasers was one negro, Will Thompson, who went the thousand dollar limit, | paying $600 in cash. A large moonshine still was captured in the Beth-Shiloh niiiorhlinrhnrtH tiv Shoi-iff Oninn and Constable Peters on Monday of last week. It is known to whom the outfit belonged, but no arrests have been made up to the present time. Next Friday, June 28, is War Savings Stamp Day, by proclamation of the president, the governors of all the States and the mayors of nearly all the towns and cities. That means that everybody who has not" bought stamps by that day must ouv at that time. rhirty-one negroes were sent to Camp Jackson last Friday by tocal board No. 2 of York county, as the district's quota of negro Iraftees.
