THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1919 \ Any chance at higher cotton prices is better than none at all. There are some who already know V too much to consult with either doctors or lawyers. o Talcolm powder is one of the sweet est things on earth at times, and at others one of the most sickening. o While some men see only expense in advertising, others have seen fortunes in it and they went in and got it. There are some men so small that even the smallest grant of power to them appears to cover all the power there is to be had. o Sometimes we seem to forget that the other fellow thinks he knows more about our business than we do. This will explain the way in which the other fellow acts. -o One of the best signs of increasing business for Horry County is the increased amount of freight being hauled into Conway and to othe r pcmis m mriving .sections or me county. o % Now that the war is over and there is or soon will he, a plenty of cloth to make them out of, they have started to take more and more cloth out <>f women's skirts; and they may take no more cloth than a pair of pants if things keep on. o One thing that tired people like is quietness; quietness of the audience as well as the rest fulness of a smooth running film and good music are enjoyed in a moving picture show. J Jlow can this desirable part of the entertainment be had when a dozen small boys persist in keeping up a cnotinued noise? Some places we know the little boys have been taught in some way to sit quietly in their srats. Let us hope that this will be the rule everywhere some time. e There has no better thing happened for the farmers of the South than the organized effort to cut the acreage of cotton this year. The plan of curtailment does not interfere very much with the multitude of small farmers all over the country who have always planted a small crop of cotton; and the main burden of reducing the quantity produced is upon the big planter who has fanned large fields with many horses. It is the duty of the small fanners all over the South to aid all that they can the movement which will bring a fair price for the crop. o GROWING MONEY. If there were two kinds of United States money?one just ordinary money, and the other, money that ircreased in value every month ,you'd naturally want the growing kind?all you could get hold of. You'd change as much of your money as you could for the growing kind. You'd hold on to the growing kind and let it grow for you. There really are two kinds of money?ordinary dollars and quarters and cents that don't grow?and "War Savings Stamps that do grow. You buy a War Savings Stamp one month; the next month it is worth more; the month after, still more, and January 1, 1924, it will have grown to $5. "But," you say, "a War Savings Stamp is not ready money! It grows all right, is a good investment, helps ne save, but I can't spend it." You're wrong?the War Savings Stamp is ready money?that is, ready enough. If you absolutely must have the money you have saved in War Savings Stamps?that growing money? you can get it from any money order postoffice on ten days' notice. You can get all you paid in and all the interest it has earned while it was growing for you; and the ten days' notice is one of its great features. You can't just rush out to spend your $4.12 or $4.25, or whatever it may be. You have time to think before you can spend it, and if you think before VOU snend von nrohnhlv will not spend that W. S. S. money foolishly, but will use it for something worth while, or, perhaps, not at all. In other words, it. is not merely growing money?it is also money ivith the magic power of helping you get your money's worth?money tied up just enough to keep it from flyng -cut of your pocketbook. And remember, the wise-spending string 30 your money in War Savings Stamps is your own string?the string that keeps your own wallet riosed until you really need the { money. o ?4 THINGS TO FORGET. p If you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd, A leader of men, marching fearless and proud, >nd you know of a tale whose move telling aloud Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a skeleton hidden | away In a closet and guarded and kept from the day, In the dark; and whose showing, whose sudden display, Would cause grief and sorrow, and lifelong dismay, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a thing that will dark en the joy 0,1 a man or a woman, a girl or a boy, That will wipe out a smile or the least way annoy A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. ?Anon. The Distance. Counsel?Come, sir, do you mean to tell me you didn't see the complainant's cow on the land- How near must you be to a beast to recognize it? Witness?About the distance I am fiom you.?Houston Post. COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. (Complaint Not Served.) Sn ATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Horry. George J.

That a national program of thrift instruction should be incorporated into the school system of the nation was formally declared in a resolution adopted by the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association in session at Chicago recently. The resolution follows: "As essential to character formats n, to the welfare of the American people, and to the promotion of a national habit, we urge that the national program of thiift instruction, and the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps become a permanent part of the public school procedure. We recommend that a committee of the National Education Association be named to cooperate with the Savings Division of the Treasury Department in pushing a campaign in all state school systems."
