Notice-Teachers' Examination The next teachers' examination will be held at Pickens court house, Friday, May 3, 1918.* I would like to urge that all the teachers in the county look after their certificates and see that they do not expire. If they will expire soon it might be well for you to prepare to stand the examination in May. On account of there being such a shortage of labor, I would like to urge that those who are thinking of teach ing sometime in the- future to be sure and stand this examination. It might become a patriotic duty to help out in the school work. 52 F. V. CLAYTON. Come to Pickens to do your trading.

The National Food Administration is anxious to impress the message of conservation to the utmost. The peo pie of the country at large do not ap preciate the demand for wheat. The Food Administration at Washington has stressed the situation in this na tion wide proclamation: "If we ar.e to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to twenty one million bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about for ty-two million bushels or fifty per cent of our normal consumption, reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for gen eral consumption approximately one and one-half pounds of wheat products weekly per person. Many of our cus tomers are dependent upon bakers' bread, such bread must be durable, and therefore requires a larger pro portion of wheat products than cereals baked in the household. Our army and navy requires a full allowance. The well to do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the con sumption of wheat products than ea the poor. To effect the needed sav ings of wheat, we are wholly deepnd ent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people, and we do ask that the following rules be observed: "First, householders to use not to exceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products per person.This mens not more than one and three-four' i pouids of Vic tory bread contai-' the required percentage of sul- 't.utes and about one-half pound of c - :king flour, maca roni, crackers, p: ry, piea, cakes, wheat breakfast ,r'reals all com bined. . "Second, public eating houses and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto not to serve in the aggregate total of more breads tuffs, macaroni, 'crackers, p;r try, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast ce reals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour to any one guest at any one meal. No wheat products to ho served unless espe cially ordered. Public eating estab lishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products per month per guest thus conforming with lim itations requested of the house holders. "Third, retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat produ'ets withuout sale of an equal weight of ether cereals. "la'ourthi, we ask the bakers and gro cers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three quarter pound loaf whore one pound was sold heretofore, and correspond ing proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchas ed beyond -seventy per cent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March first. "Fifth, manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. "Sixth, there is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc. Many thousand families through out the land are now using no wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes and are doing so in perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one-half pounds a week, USE MORE IRISH POTATOES In Order That They Will Not Over% lap New Crop. Columbia.-South Carolina can help very materially now in the conserva, tion of wheat by using Irish potatoes. The produce people report to the food administration at Columbia that there are unusual quantities of excellent Iiih potatoes on hand in this state for immediate use. it is important that theme Irish pota tees be used so that they will net over lap into the new crop, and because they are the best available substitute for wheat. Potatoes are universally liked. The food administration has been assured that irish potatoes can be bought at very reasonable prices from all local market., and if they cannot be had the food administrator at Columbia would be please dto be advised so that any denlcient market can be supplied. Potatoes are an acceptable substi tute for bread. A pound of baked potatoes is equal in nutritive value to seven ounces of broad, Use the per' S shablo potato as a wheat and as s bread snbstitute. in the present food drisis all cereals are preolous; thai Vi keep and the potatoes won't For or Against Uncle Sam. 10 oppose the war savings move. ment is to oppose victory on the part of the United States and its Allies. To be indifferent toward this great movement Is to be in effect indifferent toward the murder of women, children, and other civil ians. To belittle the war savings movement is to belittle the herolo sacrifices of dead and wounded sol diers why fought for your protec tion. Failure to back the government in the W. 8. 8. campaign Is failure to be a true American. The Amer. Ican who does not help America to the limit of his means and ability automatically helps Germany to the limit of his means and ability. in these times a person either helps or hinders. If our soldiers did not take their duties seriously, there would be disastrous results for those at home. And if those at home do not take their duties seriously, there will be disastrous results for our sol diers, for our sailors, and for us all. If our soldiers can GIVE their lives, surely we can LEND our money. "Will you co-operate, or will you obstruct?" W. S. 8. Dividends in W. S. S. Charleston.-To the First National Bank, of Florence, S. C., falls the dis tinction of being the first bank in the country to adopt the plan of paying dividends to stockholders in War Sav ings Stamps. This bank, according to an official report received from Washington, has set the pace for the country in this respect, and is closely followed by the Union National Bank, of Columbia, which also pays stock holders' dividends in War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Banks all over the country, and other concerns, are adopting this patriotic plan. W. S. 8. This Is The Limit! Charleston.-As far as is known, only two men in South Carolina have purchased the limit allowed to holders of War Savings Stamps-one thou san(l dollars' worth. Governor Rich ard I. Manning and J. E. Wannamak er, of St. Matthews, have purchased War Savings Stamps to the extent of $1,000, the limit allowved b~y law. It is reported that a movement is on foot to institute a Limit Club in Co lumbia, which consists of members who pledge themselves to purchase during the year War Savings Stamps to the amount of $1,000. --w s. S. South Carolina Lags. Charleston.-Tho official report is sued from Washington shows that of all the states in the Union, South Carolina ranks last and least in the sales per capita of war savings stamps. The South Carolina commit tee is greatly disappointed at the poor showing which the state has made up to the end of February, and hopes that the men, women, and children of the state will invest liberally and steadily in stamps so that the stigma may be removed from the state's name. -w. s. S. Is Your Interest Patriotic? Charleston.-"Invest Liverty Bond interest in WVar Savings stamps." This is the request issued by the South Carolina War Savings Commit tee to government bondholders in this state. This should also apply, the state committee declares, to re-inveat ment of all securities' interest into War Savings Stamps. "Thousands of people own governt bonds in small -denomninations and draw a few dollars in interest every six mr'ha," the committee says. "Why not re-invest these coupons again in War Savings Stamps? The interest of two or three dollars would mean many thousands of dollars to the government, if this plan is fol lowed." Not a Bad Idea War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps make ideal presents for birth days, for graduation, and for all other occasions on which it is desirable to temember those we love. By giving War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps we not only express our love for the recipient, but for our country. The gilt, instead of being something that is soon worn out, brok en, lost or rendered wortheiss through change of fasion, is one which con stantly increases in value as years go by, and remains always a reminder of the donor. Thrift and War Savings Stamps may be purchased in lots to suit all purses, f'rom twenty-five cents to $1,000, maturity value, the full amount one person is allowed by law to hold. They do away with~ that nerve-racking search for cometh ing ap,"ropriate, whieh so often ends in failze and the hasty purchase of "just any old thing." They are always appropriate, and will always be appreciated. Wh~y not joint to make it the cus tom to give Thrift and War Savings 8tamps on all appropriate oceaMions thins year?
