THURSDAY, APRIL 2.p>, 1918. Liberty Ponds or German bombs? take your choice. Bonds or bombs?which? Let your patriotism answ'er in unmistakable words?LIBERTY BONDS! Come on! Buy bonds! Buy all you can, then some more just to show what a man can do when be is in dead earnest. "I did not start the war!" Quite true. Nor did we. The Germans thrust it upon us by the violation of every code in the book?murder, rapine, brutality, beastiality. No, you did not start it. What we are trying to do is to stop it! We are buyinp: bonds to back up our boys and help them to crush the monster that, if let alone, will destroy you! Union is to have a hip Liberty Loan , parade and speakinp on Friday (tomorrow), bepinninp at 1 o'clock shaTp. Jonesville is to have a like bip parade and speakinp tomorrow bepinninp at i 3:30 o'clock. We would have been prlad to see these demonstrations held ( on different days, but it could not i conveniently be so arranped. One can | attend here, then pet up to Jonesville 1? j on the Carolina Special, which leaves 1 for Jonesville at 3:12 o'clock. We j hope to be able to pet to both parades j and both speakinps. It is a time for !all people, patriots and faithful citizens, to show their colors. True, it | now seems that there is prospect of ' a pood day for plowinp tomorrow. ! However, we feel that it is even more v important than plowinp?this manifestation of patriotism. Let everyi body come! > i THE ONE REMEDY?BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS. Tho attention of school trustees and patrons of city and rural schools is directed to the letter, in tips issue, of David R. Coker, chairman of the State , Council of Defense, in which a timely plea is made, foj- the pake of the , future of democratic citizenship, that adequate salaries he paid school i teachers, which appears to be the one I ' remedy for existing conditions and to , obviate embarrassment of the school , authorities and the schools themselves . in the near future. Mr. Coker calls attention to the fact that salaries of school teachers have not kept pace with the rising prices of life's necessities and, as a warning, speaks of the tremondous demand for young women, thousands of whom are entering upon government work at good salaries as thousands more are taking the places of men in mercantile offices and establishments. It is reasoned logically that unless salaries of school teachers are increased for the next school year, another year will j find thousands ninm e/?Vi/\rd I more remunerative work. They arc capable, and it would he unreasonable not to expect them to prepare themselves during the approaching summer vacation for the places open and waiting for them unless the schools they are now serving lake iheir needs! into consideration. The remedy, as suggested by Mr. Coker, if adenuat funds are not avail-; able from taxation to provide hotter' pay for school teachers, would be for school trustees to raise by private' f subscription from the school patron i jr. sufficient additional funds for this purpose. x J No school should remain closed and j no school should be taught by other than competent teachers. The war does not change the situation, except to intensify the vital necessity o? proper educational facilities for the children of today who will be the men and women of tomorrow, and who, in the years to come, must bear some of the burdens thrust upon the world by this w*ar.
