W&t Pamberg peralb! ____ i ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, April 25, 1918. ? Speaking of enlistments in the army and navy, we wonder if there is any town in the State the size of Bamberg that can show as many voluntary enlistments in these branches of the service as our town can. Have you started your boy or gin to buying and saving war stamps yet? | If you have not, you are missing the j greatest opportunity of a lifetime to instill into them the art of "saving. A child needs now only to be encouraged to save their nickels and dimes. We know of many instances where children have declined to buy candy and other delicacies which j they love so well in order to buy j stamps. They may not have a very j . clear conception of what the war is, but they believe they are contributing ; to some great object?and in this they are right. The successful men i of tomorrow are the children of to-3~"* v,ovn hoQn tane-fit the DrOD- ! Ud? ??uu iia<c wwu ?v.?0 . er conception of money and its value, j When you see a boy who is willing j to sacrifice some of the little things all children crave, you need have no fear of that boy's future. It is already assured, so far as finances are, concerned. So we say the govern-: ment is now offering the greatest op- j portunity that we shall probably ever have to instill into the children the value of saving. The liberty bond campaign is to j' close within the next few days. Have; you done your part in the war by ' investing in one or more bonds? If not, you should see one of the com- j mittee, or your bank, today and subscribe-to the limit of your ability. ,1 We hear many people boast of their patriotism, and yet when approach- j ed to lend the government some mon- \ 1 ' - ? ? ~ f Vt AT7 1 ey to carry me war uu *vnu, tu^jwith one accord .begin to make excuses. Verily, these are times which, show what men are made of. Many! people are just bubbling over with the sort of patriotism which costs i them nothing. Never toruble your-j self about whether this war is going to cost you anything or not. It certainly will. You now have the opportunity of LENDING your government your money. If you do not lend your money, you will have to pay the government in other ways. Liberty bonds are not taxable. The man who invests his money in bonds will not pay taxes on just that much j of his wealth. Invest it in anything |; else, and you will pay dearly. It is 1 not right that any man or set of i men should make money by a war n which costs so much blood, and any j person who undertakes to take ad-; < vantage of the crisis to become! urooHhv will livo tn rP2Tfit it. in OUT "J " ? I - opinion. It is not enough that we should give our sons?our sons must be equipped and provided with the best supplies money can buy. The i man who is able to buy bonds and fails or refuses to do it will be a j . marked man the rest of his life. ?i*X?rcv Dont let the Keep it safe IF YOU HAVE MONEY, FOUND OUT THAT EVERY TIME SOME HAND OUT: OH, IT DOESN'T SEEM M ? ? ? ? ? ?

Furloughs to Help Farm Work. For the purpose of augmenting agricultural production it is the in- ' fontinn nf the War Department to grant furloughs to enlisted men to enable them to engage in farming during the present season. Commanding officers may grant such furloughs within prescribed rules whenever it appears they will contribute to increased farm production. Furloughs may be given by commanding officers of posts, camps cantonments, divisions, and departments. They will be for short periods, largely for seeding and harvesting time. They will not be granted to enlisted men of or above the grade of first sergeant, nor in an organization that has been ordered to move or is in transit from points of mobilization or training to a port of embarkation. All furloughs granted will be recalled and the men ordeVed to their organizations wrhen they have received preparatory orders for duty overseas. Furloughs granted, for farm work will be without pay and allowances, except that enough pay will be rein pnrh rase to meet allot (/U1JUV/VX AAA -W ments in fore? on the day of the order, war-risk insurance, and pledges on Liberty bonds.
