THE COUNTY RECORD.
Thursday, Feb. 7. 1918.
Heatless Monday don't work very
well in a weekly newspaper office,
we have already concluded. There
is just so much work that must be
done each week, and as there is
never an excess in the force, a day
of idleness makes it a hardship to
accomplish that which must be done.
In the case of a rush of extra advertising
matter, such as we have had
this week, and to get the paper out
on time without some shortcoming
would be almost imDossible. We
had hoped that the order of the
fuel administrator relative to heatless
Mondays would be rescinded before
another one rolls round, but at
present there is little or no prospect
of a reality, and we mean to
peg along, cut out Heatless Monday,
and get out The Record in as
good form as we can and as nearly
on time as circumstances will permit.

Buy a War Savings Stamp.
The greatest thing about learning
to save is to make a start. There are
very few people who have not determined
at some time or other in their
lives that they would lay by something
for the proverbial rainy day. Where
they fail in their plans in the great
majority of cases is that they never
get enough ahead, as they think, to
warrant them in opening a savings
account at the bank or making any
definite move to acquiring habits of
thrift. When they are in funds their
thoughts are filled with wants that
must be met, and their desires grow
as a rule decidedly faster than they
are able to gratify them.
For people of this kind the war
savings stamps movement should accomplish
wonders. War savings
stamps make saving easv and they
makeit attractive. Twenty-five cents
is all that is needed to make a beginning;
that will buy a thrift stamp
For $4.13, invested now, a war savings
stamp can be purchased, redeemable
by the governmant in January,
1923, at $5. Many who buy
these stamps will thus come to com v-aUah/1

of compound interest, will perceive
for themselves the inner meaning of
the old adage, "Take care of your
money and your money will take
care of you." This is a lesson which
once learned is not easily forgotten
or disregarded.
It is gratifying to see that the war
savings stamps movement is getting
under way in South Carolina, for
there is no part of the country that
has suffered more because its people
did not know how to keep their money
from burning holes in their
pockets. They have the chance now
to learn andthev can have the added
satisfaction of feeling that every
thrift stamp purchased, every war
savings stamp that is bought, is a
direct contribution to the winning
of the war.?Xeicx & Courier.
| JR. RED CROSS NOTES. |
A PROCLAMATION.
To the Schoolchildren of the United
States:
The President of the United States
is also President of the American
Red Cross. It is from these offices
joined in one that I writeyou a word j
of greeting at this time when so!
many of you are beginning the school |
year.
The American Red Cross has just
prepared a junior membership with
school activities in which every pupii
in the United States can find a
chance to serve our country. The
school is the natural center of your
life. Through it you can best work
in the great cause of freedom to
which we have all pledged ourselves.
Our Junior Red Cross will bring
to you opportunities of service to
your community and to other communities
all over the world and guide
your service with high and religious
ideals. It will teach you how to save
in order that suffering children elsewhere
may have the chance to live.
It will teach you how to prepare

soldiers and homeless families lack.
It will send to you through the Red
Cross bulletins the thrilling stories
of relief and rescue. And best of all,
more perfectly than through any of
your other school lessons, you will
learn by doing those kind things under
your teacher's direction to be
the future good citizens of this great
country which we all love.
And I commend to all school teachers
in the country the simple plan
which the American Red Cross has
worked out to provide for your cooperation,
knowing as I do that
school children will give their best
service under the direct guidance
and instruction of their teachers. Is
not this perhaps the chance for
which you have been looking to give
your time and efforts in some measure
to meet our national needs?
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson,
President.
The Junior Red Cross is starting
plans for a very vigorous cam
paign which aims to have every
school building in America a school
auxiliary of the Junior Red Cross by
February 22. The actual campaign
is set from Lincoln's birthday, February
12, to Washington's birthday,
February 22, inclusive.

Rheumatism.Sprains. Neuralgia, etc.
A largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the Parent-Teacher
association was held in the school
auditorium Monday afternoon. Patriotism
was the dominant note. Mr
W E Nesmith delivered an address
on the thrift stamp, and papers on
Junior Red Cross work were read by
Mrs L W Gilland and Misses Ida
Griffin and Agness Erckmann. Music
was furnished |by Mr David Silverman
on the violin, with Miss
Claud Jones and Hubertspeigner as
pianists. Mr Nesmith has offered a
thrift stamp to any pupil who has
not been on the honor roll and gets
there this month.

HOME TESTIMONY
COMING IN DAILY.
Eastover, South Carolina,
Heard From.
Don't trifle with your health; if you
need some remedy take a tried one,
which for nearly a quarter of a century
has stood the test of time.
No man or woman is eqipped for noble
deeds who is a dyspeptic or who
suffers from any form of nervousness
and anaemic conditions of the blood.
Indigestion, stomach troubles and impure
blood weaken our minds, dwarf
our capacities and limit oar possibilities.
Mrs C B Jaynes, R F D 1, Eastover,
S C, writes: "I was a great sufferer
from constipation,stomach troubles, indigestion
and general weakness. I
could eat nothing, or what I did turned
sour and gassy, causing me intense pain
at times. Could not sleep and was all
run down. I was advised to try your
Ironized Paw-Paw and did so with such
beneficial results that I called to interview
the Iron Man demonstrating at
Wingfield's Drug Store t*> thank him
and you. I never experienced such relief
from pain and wretchedness. I can
eat what I like now, can sleep splendidly
and my bowels move regularly; in
fact I feel like a new woman?thanks
to your Ironized Paw-Paw, which is the
King of all tonics to my mind, You can
refer to me at any time."

Prayer for Our Soldiers.
(To be used as a hymn, tune: "My Country Tis
of Thee. ')
God bless our noble men,
Keep them beneath Thy wing,
Shield them from harm.
Watch when they sleep at night,
Watch when they rise to fight,
Guard and protect the right,
Gre8t God, our King!
God guide our noble men,
Bring them safe home again.
Faithful and true.
Help them to trust in Thee.
Grant to them victory.
Their stay and comfort be.
Great God, our King!
God save our noble men,
Keep them from stain of sin.
Steadfast in Thee.
Forgiving, while they fight,
For truth and home and right,
Protect them by Thy might,
Great God, our King!
NoTEr-The author cherishes the hope
that the above hymn may be used as a
prayer in the churches. Copies could be
made and pasted in the church hymnal.
It is effective when sung with bowed
heads, as a prayer.
