In advising the people of South Car
-olina against the exchange of Liberty
bonds for securities or merchandise,
the State Council of Defense is acting
With the approval of the Council of
National Defense and the treasury de
partment. Secretary McAdoo said re
cently, regarding the exchange of mer
chandise for Liberty bonds: "When the
bonds are exchanged for merchandise,
it defeats the primary purpose of their
sale, it discourages thrift and in.
creases expenditures, thus depriving
the government of labor and material
speeded Lor war purposes. It is also
.pointed out that bonds taken in ex
change are usually sold immediately
in the open market, thus depressing
the market price.
All offers to accept Liberty bonds
In exchange for other securities, or
for mbrchandise should not only be
declined, but the concerns making
such offers should be reported to the
council of defense. Not only are many
-of the securities so offered worthless,
but, to quote a communication from
Washington, "the mere fact that any
:security is offered in this unpatriotic
way justifies suspicion and an investi
gation of its character."
5 Government bonds are, of course,
the best security in the world.

States public service reserve will des
ignate the number and bounds of the
industrial communities in his State,
governing himself by the requiri
ments and status of labor in the vari
ous industrial communities.

facturers' associations will be asked
to nominate. representatives of em
ployers and State and city federations
-of labor will be requested to name the
labor 'members, both of whom are to
be appointed by the State director of
the public service reserve.
Community local boards will assist
In mobilizing labor- in their- respective
commu-nities and will dlecide upon01 the
relative needs of local establishments
seeking labor. In the event that the
supply of' labor is 1ess than the de
