Bamberg county has quite a bit of
money dh deposit with the government
in the way of liberty bonds and
war savings stamps. The bonds are
payable in from ten to forty years,
and the stamps in 1923. This represents
a large amount of savings to
the people of the county, and that it
was possible to invest such a large
sum, which is probably well in excess
of one million dollars, *shows what a
prosperous county Bamberg is. It is
also a peculiar fact that although
the people have saved this vast
amount of money within the past
year and a half, the bank statements
show more money on deposit than
ever before. These investments,
therefore, must represent mon^y that
the people are usually in the habit
of spending. ^ '
Allied Bill Against Germany.
The war bill of the Allies against
Germany is 24,000,000,000 pounds,
according to the British prime minister,
David Lloyd George, who presented
this and other interesting
facts before a large gathering at
Bristol, England, Wednesday. The
cost of the war to Great Britain was
8,000,000,000 pounds.
Before the war the estimated
wealth of Germany, said the premier,
was between 15,000,000,000 and 20,000,000,000
pounds sterling. So if
the whole wealth of Germany were
taken there would not be enough to
pay the account. Therefore he had
used the words: v "Germany should
pay to the utmost limit of her capacity."
When the prime minister was addressing
an overflow meeting he
said Great Britain would be guilty
' of great folly if she gave up her
navy.
A voice interrupted: "Then watch
Wilson!". /
The premier replied: "Well, I
, hope to meet him in a fort-night. I
will tell him what you say.
"Wherever the request - conies
from, we are not going to give up the
protection of the navy, so far as
Great Britain is concerned."

HEBE is no use in my going
home tonight," observed the
tall, sad man as he pushed
the dice box from him and
accepted the consolation cigar
which the tobacconist
22?i vouchsafed him.
"Tftere will oe notning ao
Ing the way of eats. My
wife hasn't time to cook. She's entered
in the Christmas handicap. Yon talk
about the six-day races where fellows
ride around and around until they
drop dead or go nuts! Why, the
Christmas handicap has that kind of
an endurapee race skun a mile!
"My wife gives one hundred and
eleven presents on December 24 and
25. The race *s between her and
Christmas, and, believe me, Christmas
is coming along pretty fast when It
comes to the last lap of the race during
December. But my wife is coming
along pretty raifldly, too. Take it
from me, those needles of hers click
so fast that they sound like fifty revolutions
to the minute, and she hits
on all six, too, and she leaves a string
of pink and blue double bowknots, kutelets,
picos and fourets in the wake
of those needles that would astonish
you!
"'Tick, tick,' says the clock, and
tickerty, tickerty, tick, tick,' says the
needle and there's a pair of embroidered
socks, an embroidered handkerchief
or a foot towel, a sweater, a cap,
a doily, a lamp shade, a photo holder
or most any old thing.
"Bingo! It's December 22! Bingo,
bingo, bingo-o-o, go the knitting
needles and crochet hooks and the tatting
shuttles, leaving a string of gar
ments in their wake.
"December 23 jumps tip on the calendar,
and whizz! bang! zipp! go the
needles, the paint brushes, the branding
irons and the stencils. And swish,'
swish! on comes the scenery, the menagerie,
or whatever she has to
evolve.
"December 24 swings into the
stretch. Now Christmas is here.
They approach the wire.
"Now, I don't know whether my wife
has worked all night or not, bnt she
has brought her string pretty well up
abreast of the times. But some of
these presents have to be delivered.
My wife grabs a handful of them and
starts out to deliver them. None of
them is finished yet, but she finishes
them on the way.
"Clang, ciangl goes the street car.
Buz-z-z! goes the current' and away
we go! But bib, bib, bob go the finishing
touches on the presents. My
wife arrives at a place where a present
is to be delivered and rings the
bell. Bip, bip, bip, bip go the needles.

J. H. Murphy, farmer, Elm St,
says: "In my estimation, Doan's
Kidney Pills are the best kidney
remedy on the market and I can
honestly recommend them. I haven't
had occasion to use any Doan's Kidbey
Pills for several years, but 1
clearly remember the good I derived,
from them when last I used them, i
had a lameness in my back and my
kidneys were disordered, causing me
much annoyance. I used Doan's KidDey
Pills and they completely cured
me of this trouble and put my kidneys
in good shape again, so I am
glad to endorse this remedy. Anyone
having trouble with their kidneys
should try Doan's Kidney Pills."
