TIME TO SAVE
Ah banking authorities are pointing
out, hhvlug on the 'part of the
public 1h especially Important now.
Having does two things, both of
which are desirable and necessary.
First, It htilldH up u backlog for the
future when the defense program will
he over and we will have to return to
Home sort of normal basis of living.
Second. It diverts money from the
consumer goods mnrkot?-and that, in
turn, helps build up the stockH of materials
needed for military preparedness.
Today the government Is urging
the people to purchase the special defense
bonds and stamps newly lsaucd
by the Treasury. The banks of
America, knowing full well the gravity
of our economic problems, are
cooperating fully lu this endeavor,
without u nickel of profit to thornHelves.
When we loan to the government,
we are directly aiding defense,
we are Investing In the safest known
form of security, and wo are helping
Inflation.
Bvery family should mako defenso
bond purchases an lutegrul part of
Its budget of them unless It la absolutely
unavoidable.
Why Handbill# Fail
A merchant will make a complete
coverage of mulling circulars, only
to he blandly Informed by several In
the territory covered that they received
no circular. The answer Is not
that the mailman has been lax. It
lies lu the essential failure of the
circular mailing to serve the purpose
Intended.
Circulars come unexpected and On- (
Invited to the average home. There
Is no particular aversion to the circular.
It Is Just that It Is something
not looked forward to. This comes
partly from Its Irregular appearance
and partly because It Is entirely devoted
to the sender's Interests.
Contrasting, a newspaper Is Invited.
More than that. It Is paid for.
The subscriber comes to the awareness
that It Is Issued as much In bin
Interest as In the Interest of the
firms who fill Us advertising columns.
The news columns, as well as the
advertising features, hold the attention
of every member of the family.
The man of the house doesn't stufT It
In tils pocket, or leave It forgotten
In the car or In the buru, before oth
r members of the family have bed
heir look at It. The news, even
nor? than advertlsluK holds the paper *
u the home until all have rend it 1
The newspaper is expected. It t
omes on regular days. If It doesn't i
irrlvu on schedule, questions uro
iskod. If 1'a hus mislaid the paper,
Via wants to know about it. She can't i
>e expected to Inquire about Jones' t
lrcular, however, because even if I
die did want to see It. she probably
lad no Inkling that one had come to i
[heir mall box. I
The newspaper offers a regular service.
You can depend on it being
Issued next week and the week after.
It doea not require a speclul event or <
a special combination of events to
bring It out. It runs u regular weekly
messenger service for all who are
to use and pay for it. It is not an
excursion special.
Hecauso Of its regularity of Issue
and development of reuder Interest,
the service offered by the newspaper
Is of definite value. This would be
true, even if the paper never had a
line or word designed to promote
a legitimate community activity. It
ofTers a definite public service.?

RUSSIAN ARMY FIGHTING
More than four weeks have elapsed
since the Germany army, without declaring
war began an Invasion of
Soviet Russia.
When the fighting began few experts
conceded the Soviet more than
an outside chance to alow up the
Nazi panzer divisions and practically
everybody believed that Hitler would
have his triumph within five or six
weeks at the most.
News from the vast battlefront continues
conflicting but even German
communiques do not claim that the
Red army has been pounded to pieces.
The outcome of tho war cannot bo
determined by the extent of Russian
land that is occupied because the objective
of the campaign, as outlined by
tho Germans. Is nothing short of the
total destruction of the Red army.
So far, the Soviet forces has resolutely
refused to bo overwhelmed.
Russlun forces have fought desperately.
bitterly and stubbornly, according
to the testimony of Herlln, which
continues to report heavy fighting all
along tho front, and especially In the
critical areu of the center, around
Smolensk.
There Is little Indication, as yet,
that Soviet militarized units have
been wiped out and the Red air force
continues to battle the invaders.
What may bo the state of Russian reserves,
of men and material, Is unknown.
German troops, advancing
slowly against the massed strength
of the Soviet, have not yet found the
undefended gap through which to
pour a fast-moving mechanized unit
for the sweep against the flanks.
It Is Impossible to estimate the
probuble length of Soviet resistance
hut It Is certain that Germany has not
yet won tho war. Nazi pressure,
slowly Increasing, mny wear down
Soviet resistance, or deplete Russian
reserves, but unless this is accomplished
the battle may be prolonged.
At present, at least there are few
signs of u Soviet collapse.?Orangeburg

Of the remainder of the late-planted
vegetables escarole, curled chicory

In early August many gardeners
put iu a last row of green peas? a
quick-growing kind to make sure of
a crop in an uncertain climate. They
will withstaud light frost and are so
delicious that it P&a well to take I
the chance of their coming through
