Howard N E. Sullivan at C'amn Wads worth last c Saturday be true, it should result ' in Capt. Howard's beinp reduced to 1 ranks and otherwise punished. F. J. I'arham says the only differ- / ence he can see between a $50 bill ^ and a $'50 Liberty Bond is the fact that you pet paid for keepinp the bond and pet not a cent for keepinp the bill. Think on this, citizen?and o buy a bond, one?and more if you can. ^ It is reported that the Germans, V in capturinp Oesel Island, captured ?. therewith much booty. Perhaps it will s be the spoils of war, not the Russians, a that will administer defeat. Armies have been destroyed before in consequence of rich booty. P . ii We have recently received several p "newsy" letters, letters that we would f delight to publish. The only trouble ^ is there was no way for us to tell who wrote the letters. They might be h "faked" news, so far as we know, and ii we would have no way of protecting 11 ourselves in the matter. Your name a p does not need to be published, but , you must let us know who writes, if s communication goes in. i _ v With our daily we hope to prac- l tically supplant the handbill in Un- s Ion and Union county, for we can dis- 1 tribute the advertisement and sell a the space it occupies for less than f it would cost to print the "dodgers", s to say nothing of distributing them. s You pay two or three dollars for a ' thousand "dodgers", then two or three j i'> gci niL-iii uiswioutea, and at tor () all, many of them may find their way J into a gully or trash pile. If you Jit- ' tempt to mail them you would spend ' ten dollars for the stamps alone, to (1 say nothing of licking a thousand t stamps, buying and addressing and J' sealing a thousand envolopes. Let us us show you a better way and a less expensive way?the "new way." Thn - ...v, iui >mci ivttpuig U gOOUiy hare of war profits, and it is but ^ just that he invest something in liberty Bonds. To be sure he has long had an up-hill fisrht, he has been r used and abused no little. But, at ' last, his inning has conic. It would ( i>e a generous thing now for him to ;i show loyalty to the government. And, v it is a fact that one of the best ways the farmers of the country can maina tain their new-found freedom lies in purchasing heavily of Liberty v Bonds. It will be vastly better for the ^ i\ farmer in the future if farmers buy up these bonds than it will be if men ( of wealth buy them. The element |( of people that is the largest creditor e of the government when the war is n over will surely have the reins of the j. government. Why not? It has been #| and will he that way to the ernl of i< time. Let the farmers he large hold- s ers of these bonds and we will hear ^ nothing of the farmer's oppression ^ when the war is oer. ^ The necessity last year of raising ood and feed stuffs was great, the oming year it is going to be vastly greater. This is no evil thing to bring iespair to the hearts of the people iut a real blessing in disguise, foi t makes an open door of success or the farmer who will heed the varning and plant plenty of these rops. There will be no low price arm products for a good many years o come. The day of opportunity foi he farmer who is wide awake, has awned at last. Those who pay nc eed to this warning will be the losrs; it is hard to get people of any ailing to look ahead but the farmei ins developed the habit of not look ng ahead and he has also developet he habit of not paying any attentior o advice given. He is constantly DOkimr for a solfivh mntiuo flu,I irompts the advice. This is one thru hat the farmer should have an opei nind and heed the advice given. II ernes not only from every newspapei nit from our government, from stu lents of history, from agriculturist: if experience and the lessons of this ear impress the same lesson. TO OI K CORRESPONDENTS. We beg to say to each of our wor hv correspondents that we hope the} vill write often, very often, if then s any item of news to send us. Sine* icginning the publication of our dai y paper wo have room and to span or all the live Union county new: ve can get. Sometimes heretofore ve have had to crow out letters o orrespondents for lack of room 'here is no such lack now. Send ir he news, often, very often, just as ften as there is anything to tell. Editorial Clippings EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. The Union Times now appears evry day. Hence, better days.?The fate. When an American political from Wisconsin compares himself with )aniel Webster one is justified in asuming that false modesty is not mong his vices.?News and Courier. Farmers are now receiving war rices for their cotton. It is nothless than their duty to invest n ortion of their war profits in Libery Bonds. The farmers are more pros>erous than anybody else in the louth, and their prosperity is a diect result of the war. It is to bt orne in mind that they are not f*ivntf the government a cent by buyiij; bonds; rather they are making n excellent investment paying foui ier cent interest. It is a splendid waj o lay aside some savings, and at tht ame time help to win the war. Monej s the great factor in the presenl rar. The several million allied troops ighting in the trenches cannot lu ustained except hy the expenditure ol nillions of dollars in supplying am nunition and equipment. The prob ible reason for the present great of ensive, which has been pushed wit I o much success, is American inonej ubscribed during the last Ijibertj oan. Heretofore it has not been pos ibio for the Allies to launch an of ensive and keep it up for the lacl it' ammunition. The entrance oi America with her millions has ena led the British and French to ge der.ty of munitions. We can read th? esult in the papers every day.

It's life itself we 1 have to worry about; not mere com forts or luxuries. Can't you do with^ out a few joy-rides when Europe has lost all joy? The sunnlv of i?asol?n? is millions of gallons short for the 1 demands of aeroplanes, ambulances, t trucks, tanks ami countless machines that are fighting your cause in this war. There is no gasolene at all, t hey say, to be had for new cars in England. Old cars are limited to 5 about seven gallons a month. What would happen to self and family if our a?mv should run seriously short of petrol? This may bo if Americans - keep on with extravagant joy-riding. , Death-riding it will be . Every gallon of gasolene counts. Save it, for Victory! Put the cash you were going to send into Liberty Honds. You'll - be glad later on. 2 We used gaily to think that there _ . was plenty enough of everything in T the good old world, if you had the ' price. Now we know better. Price is not everything when there isn't . stuff to buv. We've got to save?-ev- ~ i F i erything. And finance the State. . If you are not careful with what you have, America may be lost. You can't be selfish now. _ Meaning you, meaning everyone of F | us! ' So long as you aspire, other will conspire?so long as you try others will vie. ?
