A K>y. Sttta Mrsctor UNm AUXILIARY PATROL ni IN ENGLAND P; p] Dover, England, May 31.? (Corre- tl spondence of the Associated Press)? is Men who are amateur yachtsmen in tl the days of peace constitute very j yi largely the personnel of the fleets of1 s< motor launches which have played an'rc important part in most of the British \ lo operations in the English Channel ol during the past three and a half iv years. In the recent Zeebrugge affair more than a score of them were engaged, putting up the smoke screen and acting as "mosquito escort" to ^ the destroyers and other ships engaged. The yatchsmen who man these launches entered the naval service at ^ the beginning of the war with an timate knowledge of the waters | around the Bi itish Isles, and also of... a. T., u r i eiii-n ii'ui Di'l^iuil coaswil ', waters, so that they were able to per-J^. form many important services. Dozens of the fcarnches which they m pilot are of American manufacture. I j Many others, especially those used in ,j the early days of the war, were fast pleasure craft, lent to the admiralty CJ and usually commanded hy their own- a ers, who received commissions in the j( Volunteer Reserve. g( It is true that these men had only tl been amateur sailors, but their local li knowledge was often equal to that of the professional fisherman, and to vv this preliminary advantage they soon s] added fhe benefits derived from in- n tensive courses of naval instruction. S1 At present all these men have become professional and qualified members of the British "Senior Service." Although these motor launches are e built primarily for fast patrol work, p they usually carry a serviceable pun, j> and in several cases have piven a pood account of themselves in a 2 fipht. A few days apo, a German submarine siphted an American sailinp ship and at^icked hrr. Before w toh U-boat could do amy damape, tl nowover, y warcniui motor launcn pi appeared and opened fire. The ene- J bi my, taken by surprise, was compelled hi to withdraw his attention from the f< American and defend himself against II his tiny enemy. The sailing ship es- A caped without sustaining any dam- t< age, and the submarine was compelled ti to submerge under a rain of shells. c< The motor launch fleet comes tech- d jr To The ruth Carolina tc One stamp wonkl be a $6/00 T bond, for iristunoe, and 30 rt etampe would be a $100 bond. ^ If you deposit in a savings tn bank paying 4 per cent interest quarterly, $4.17 in the . month of June, 1918, will inereane to $4.89 on January 1, 1 1023. A War Seringa gtamp " bought in June for $4.1T will s* be cashed (or $5.00 in the same time. The value of a ft War Savings Stamp does not ti fluctuate as hi the case with ol a bond, because the government guarantees thai a Wax jn Savings Stamp increeeee one ,i( eent a month in value. It can be redeemed any time be?;t fore maturity. From June 14 to June 28 we are calling for pledgee ,s from the mass of people of a( our state te the amount ol $20,000,000, these pledges to as be redeemed (luring the bal- jrj ance of the year ae may best fc be suited to the subscribers. i South Carolina, stand* at tho tout of Um Hat oC states in , its par capita purchases of War Savings Stamps.

Let us not forget that tho a) Government is relying on the cc country's purcbafeo of two bit- p( lions of dollars' worth of W. S. S. during this year as an important part of its revenuo to pay for what the boys need on the other side. That ec thought should stir us all to instant action. Our soldiers tli don't grumble or ask tor- rest. Y If we supply them with all rc that American genius and on- is orgy can produce, victory will st be hastened and many lives n( saved. How can we expeot to rest, how can we endure . the thought of resting whoa there ie something for us to ^ do, as long as our boys aro in w the trenches enduring the tor- th ments of hell, and giving b( ren their lives that we may br live here In safety and pros- sV perity! n, \7\ 2Lm, ti r Savings, Charleston, 8L O.

Corns can easily be lifted out with | ic lingers if you will get from any 01 rug store a quarter of an ounce of a ^ rug called frcezone. This is sufficient > remove every hard or soft corn or alius from one's feet. You simply S1 ppiy a few drops directly upon the jnder, aching corn or callus. The oreness is relieved at once and soon 01 le entire corn or callus, root and all, fts out without one particfH, of pain. This freezone is a sticky substance s' rhich dries in a moment. It just lirivels up the corn without inflaming r even irritating the surrounding tisue or skin. Tell your wife about this.

H AM)IT STRONGHOLD ADDED TO YELLOWSTONE PARK Livingstone, Mont., June 4.?(Cor>spondence of the Associated Press) -A bandit stronghold may be added ? the Yellowstone National Park, he Jackson Hole country?once the isort of bad men of every class?is le strip which it is proposed to atich to the reservation. For thirty years, Jackson's Hole is played an important part in lurid terature as well as in sensational ict. Thousands of "wild west" ories have mentioned that bullet vept region, where criminals fled om posses and where a comparavely few men could hold a company : soldiers at bay. Representative Mondell, of Wyomig, is fostering -a measure to add lout 00,000 acres of Wyoming public nd south of the park to the Yellowone reservation. There are very !W homesteaders on this land and it believed that their claims can be ljusted without difficulty. The tract is as beautiful, it is said, 5 any part of the Yellowstone reion and this is the leading reason >r the desire to add it to the park, ofty mountains, many of them eov ed with dense forests, rise from lis land. Great prairies, which once ere deserts, stretch for miles. Hunreds of striking buttes whose cranies furnishes hiding places and forfications for Indians, and robbers, id fugitives, dot the country. Grand Teton Mountain and Mount ioran are included in the proposed ldition but Jackson's Hole is perips the best known spot. Again and *ain, in pioneer days, Indians flash 1 into this depression and disapjared. But men learned the secrets : the Hole and often they got there few horse jumps ahead of their .ivsuers. As late as 1914, the crags :hoed to the clatter of hoofs and le whine of bullets. On July 29, of iat year, two bandits held up 18 ellowstone park coaches and after >bbing more than one hundred tourts, escaped to the Hole. Soldiers arched and searched and found >thing. Now, Representative Mondell hopes i change the order of things. His lan provides that hotels be> built here the Red Men once pitched leir tepees;,that comfortable lodges ; erected among the crannies of the indits and that the government lall see to it no tourist is held up? )t even by hotel men.
