"Advertising
Appeals to the

Gen erat ion"
If you are building
a business you can..
not afford to over
look the youngsters. To olc er folks
Ihep seem to grow up over night.
Oioinvn have long memories. If
they are slighted in your store they
wil go esewhere when they can.
And it is your privilege to advertise
die fact that in your place children
way buy as safely as their parents.
Tere's many a prosperous business
that owes its success to treating
-de kids like grown-ups.
7re children of today are the
eeMV and women of, tomorrow
We are sure that the pepie of this
:ity and county are profou'ndly grat
iiled because of the many couipliuen
wry expressions in regard to, Lau
teas and the two Lautrens citizens
who have been so signally honored by
teir fellow citizens of Sbuth Caro
Una. TAturens is not only lroud of
,ing so honored. .but she is prolud be
Sca she was able to.ftrnish two such
.able men 'or service to the state.

"According to a iniiber of people

Ur. Nicholis last Tuesday east his bal
lat. for M.t B. Dial" said a report
to The News and Courier from
Sprtanhurg. That was to be expect
ed. It was again characteristic of Mr.
Nicholls and on a par with his vote on
the conscription bill. Mr. Nicholls'
voticy is to catch votes "con' and a

.SAVING OASOINE.
Then .fuel administrator' Issued a call
ist week for a reduction in the con
sinrp~on of gasoline by the discon
tinuauce of Sunday ridIng In auto
1sebes. We believe that the ealt did
no". :al c:1 daf eais, for the r'educ
tien in Sunday riding was not teable.
to a eensiderable extent at least here.
Stinar repuorts come from lse5where.
As the call came in the shape of a
reement and not an order It was to be
expected that some people would dis
regant it and some did, but there was
a 1arge oaving ini gasoline Sunday aby
those arbo took the request to heart
as all others should have. The re
quest 'was. not for' a total dinnontinn
ance of automobile traffic, reasonable
ral'uiremtents for transportation be
Ing revognized by the fuel administra
(tol so that tno unec s:iry inconven.
lence would be suffered by thost wh<
depend upon this mode of travel in
going from place to place and attend
Ing to every-day dutles. The reluest
wxas generally Complied with and we
elleve will be more generally coim
p1ied with as its importance is lin
ipressed upon the public mind and con
science as other similar sacrifices
ha:"ve! beent and will be Iade. Pubili
oidemnttitont i will tall upjion those who
are so negligent of the armies in
I .rance and the safety of their country
as to wilfully refuse to co-operate with
he government in this comparatively
small way. The request of the fuel
administration only called for a small
sacrifice of pleasure on Sundays, but
consideration of the great sacrifices
being made by the soldiers in France
should so awaken our consciences that
all unnecessary automobiling be dis
continued every day ini the week for
there is no limit to the demand for
Aasoline in K1urope. The time for
heering and waving of flags has pass
ed long ago, and we must now get
down to realities. We cannot enjoy
.e as we have before and support
our armies abroad at the sane time.

T'ill ILI0ASON WIlY.
After all else has been said about
he reason for the outcome of the pri
mary election for senator and gov
ernor last week, only one more thing
aced be said and that is "'lhe two
best ien won". In the senatorial and
gubernatorial races Dial and Cooper
stood for outspoken and unquestioned
Americanism, not only in regard to
the war but in regard to every other
phase of American life. There was no
qiuestion of their own loyalty nor no
(tIestion as to the loyalty of those with
vhom they associated. Their record,;
as public and p ,ate citizens com
mtended them to the wisdom anid in
telligence of the ! ctorate while thvi:'
personalities appealed to the senses
of friendship and cordiality. Neither
one of them are of the firebrand
order of politician, yet both of them
are aggressive enough to create Coi
fidence itt their integrity and stability.
Therwar was the issue, and with sat
sfactory assurantces of character and
ability, tite battle was fouglht out otn
!ltat issumie. The attempt to line lii) tle
old illease and Tillinan following rut
.r the title of "Reformtirs" failed.
l'he people thiemiselv es saw that the
oig plank itt the "Reforitt" phtform, a
Platform built by illease and >c
'harleston American, was to tc.et
bit the .socatied "ieformters"
were not fooled. While standing by
no principes that they have stood by
.*rt years, principles which to tus have
1 ways appeared indefinite,' they pass
ed up the candidates who sought to
ride into office on them and voted for
men who they considered better fitted
for the places.

No Worrns in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un
healthy color, whicht indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there Ia more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regolarly
for twoor three weeks will enrich the blood, im.
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength

throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be

At a nreeting of Red Cross workers
held Monday evening, an urgent re

would loan their automobiles for Red
Cross work. The Advertiser has been
requested to pass this alpeal on and

they could loan or drive themselves
from ttme t6 time. 'Tho seeretal y of
nanes to the Home Relief Deparitment
to make many calls in the cotnt.ry
and unless cars are loaned for the
purpose the expense will greatly biur

In the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
Unless the request is enmpiled with

Card of Thanks.
To the Voters of Laurens County:
I am very grateful for the flattering
vote I received in the first plrimary
whilh placed me in the third place i'n
the running. In the second race -
shall make an effort to see as many of
you as I can but owing to the scarcity
of labor, I shall be compelled to (to
-~- farm work during the next few
days and, of course will be unable to
see every one. I shall appreciate your
careful consideration of me when yon
go to -ast your ballot in the second
primna.j and promise If elected, to
work diligently for the masses of the
people and to use my official position
in loyalty to my country, my state and
my county.

Beauti1ful Tomiatoes.
The garden editor of The Advertiser
was the recipient of a beautiful cluster
of tomatoes from Mr. W. L. Reid, of
the Woodrow Wilson community the
other day. Seven full ripe tomatoes
were in the cluster and all of then
were so close together that they touch
ed each other, making a picture that
the garden seed houses might well have
been proud to have In their catalogue.
Mr. Reid said that lie had had many
more clusters just as pretty and tha't
his toniato crop was unusually good.
