Loyalty in War Time.
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

loyalty.
?Save
the Flour. ?
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,

issued by Williarn Elliott, food

one negro, Will Thompson, who
went the thousand dollar limit,
| paying $600 in cash.
A large moonshine still was
captured in the Beth-Shiloh

to Camp Jackson last Friday by

point in North Carolina.

in Yorkville yesterday was
the largest, most interesting and
