It isn't a question of exposure, suffering, physical agony and menial torture with us. It's just a matter of dollars, with which we are more plentifully supplied than any other nation on the face of the earth. We have shown our appreciation of what was being done on the battlefield before. We lent our dollars to the government and helped accomplish victory. Uncle Sam pays us interest on our dollars, and he has used them to good advantage. Justice has been reinstated, hope restored in the breasts of millions crushed by oppression, and democracy has been saved for the world. Opportunities stretch out to us in the years to come. TT.J . n j_ uncie aam needs some more of our dollars, however, to wind up his part of the world argument; to pay his bills and redeem his obligations, to maintain his honor and newly won position before the world; to make good with the men who fought. Citizens of Fort Mill should feel a great pride in the fact that our town is accredited with being the first town in the State to subscribe its allottment to the Victory loan. But there is yet more to be done. If you have pledged your support to the loan, take up the pledges promptly and help out in the grandest cause known to humanity. I . Value of Farm Lands. -Farm land value has not advanced in the same degree that the composite price of crops and live stock has from the beginning of the war to 1918. Results of a recent investigation by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of 1 Agriculture, revealed that, although farm land value alone gained in 1915 and led in the relative advance in 1916. it lost its head in 1917 and, moreover, fell far behind the relative gain 1 lN nrioo A# A??Arvu nrvrl l?i?r> mmm V1IV |/i IW VI VI V|JO CI IH I 11 VC stock in that year and in 1918. From 1914 to 1915 farm land value, not including that of buildings, increased 11 per cent, while the price of crops and live stock lost 3 per cent. In the | following year land value went i op 23 per cent above 1914 and the price of crops and live stock also advanced, but only by 12 per cent. A reversal of the relativity of these movements appeared in 1917, when land value ' gained only 38per cent in 1914 and crops and live stock gained 74 per cent. The divergence increased in 1918, since the gain above 1914 was 50 per cent for land value and 97 per cent for crops and live stock. Farm land value is supposed to be related, at any rate largely related, to the net profit of farming, and in fact it is often somewhat affected even by single years of high or scant profit, yet the value of farm land advanced in 1915, although the price of crops and live stock declined, in comparison with 1914, and gained relatively much more than price did in 1916; but, on the other hand, its relative gain in 1917 and 1918 was far from equaling that of price. There has been much disparity, first i on one side and then on the other, between the two move- 1 ments of land value and product price. Perhaps a scarcity of farm labor weakened the demand for i farms in the last two years, and ? perhaps, also the net profit of farming, because of extraordinarily high cost of production. .. was not as great as the high ' i price of products would indicate t . superficially.

But outside of that everything went quietly* Practically every voter who could find his registration certificate, and that included 113 of them, went out and voted. And all of them but three voted yes on both issues? first the question of issuing $60,000 worth of bonds, and second the issue of incorporating the abutting property owner statute in the charter of the town. There were only three negative votes and they were cast againBt both issues. The next step is to sell the bonds and it is expected that this will be accomplished without difficulty. After that the plans and specifications as to paving will be submitted to contractors, and it is expected that work will be commenced early in the summer, possibly before the end of May. ?

The government, as a result of recent investigations concerning the use of narcotic drugs, reports that native-born Americans possess less self control in the use of these poisons than do the foreigners in this country, and that except among those races with whom the use of opium and hashish is a national habit, the use of drugs is more wide-spread here than anywhere else in the world. This warning should strike home to American hearts, whose very lightness makes them the more easily subject to this destroying habit. , In the course of its report, the government makes plain the great danger in narcotic medicines for the alleviation of pain, and reiterates the oft-repeated warning to physicians and par tients as to their use. 3IAL! stic Theatre, I ednesday ctures Present * e Clarke, nous Picture. ower," |j e that Made Mar>tion Picture Star. girl, famous on the spoken he silver screen, made her Lflower." w Marguerite Clark in the lever left her native hills and ng them until she was led e voted her the coming star, ck again in the first photod see "Wildflower," the pices to the Majestic dnesday.
