Buy a bond for liberty and tho ultimate peace of the world!" is the mossage which ia being sent broadcast over the state by the Liberty v/uiiiuinit!o mr aomn C arolina, or which Edwin W. Robertson, is chairman. Already there1 haa been a wide response from many directions. Thou- ' sands of people have made application through state and national banks for bonds in denominations ranging from $50 to $1,000. But since the allotment for South Carolina Is $8,500,000, there are a great many more to be disposed of before the state will have done its duty. Central committees to promote the sale of the bonds have been appoint- ' cd in each county of the state. Men everywhere are giving their time and efforts toward helping the govern- j raent float this loan; knowing well j that the fate of the country, and perhaps of the war, is resting upon this bond issue. The banks have also put , their shoulders to the wheel. Practi- . cally every bank is In a position to 1 accept applications for bonds, and every man who wishes to subscribe has only to apply to his hanker. The appeal which the Liberty Loan is making 'o the farmers, merchants and business men is not only patriotic; though the committee feels that very man should want to support his government to the extent of buying a bond. It is also a business proposition; and a Liberty bond is right now one of the best and surest investments that a man can make. The government has got to buy corn and cotton in quantities never before heard of. These supplies have got to come from the fields and farms of South Carolina alone' with tho roof nt the country. Therefore, the money j that a farmer puts In the loan, comes I. bark to him as actual rush in iuimenao purchases of the things which he i raises. In this way he not only gets , 1 a 3 1-2 per cent return on his bonds, i but ho also geta the actual mom y I bark for the products of his farm. ; I Just as the banks make their money < by financing the farmer, just so the ' farmer is now in a position to make < money by financing the government. .

IRPH "" . s. c I BlliOTTED LIBERTY BONDS YANT, CLERK, BUSINESS Y STATE COMMITTEE ID ON JUNE S. aa to his opinion of the bonds as a business proposition refused to discuss it from that basis at all. "What does it matter whether this is a money making proposition or not. Of course it is; but the tiling that any man or woman wants to think about In connection with the loan is: For what uae is the money to be applied. If a man is filled with a realziation of what the war meaoa, It will not take him long to decide. "Just one little gllrapea of the last three years is sufficient. The violalion of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusltanla, the abuse and slaughter of millions of women and children in Belgium, France and Poland, and the other savageries of the Germans should make a man go out of his way to subscribe for aa many bonds as ho could possibly stand. "If it were a matter of war on our own soil, with our own women and children the subject of these cruelties, we would not hesitate a moment. And from all I hear from Washington, it will very probably he our women and children unless the people of America rally to this loan with every available dollar." The 6th day of June has been set apart by the Liberty Loan Committee for South Carolina on which to receive subscriptions all over the state. On that day, it has been decreed by the government that all men between the ages of 21 and <10, Inclusive, shall register; and It is deeired that on the same day, ail other people, and all of those that register as well, shall as "aitlifully go to the banks and fill out an application blank for every cent of bonds that they can possibly stand. "South Carolina ha* never been backward In the cause of Liberty as far back as my history goes," said J. Pope Matthews, of the state committee ve?tordnv "and I dr?n't tw. liove for a moment that the people of the commonwealth will allow her to 'ake a hack seat now. We have been (old by tho Federal Reserve officials I hat we are expected to subscribe to iglit and a half millions of the bonds.

BlackDraught Relieved. Meadorsvllle, Ky.?Mrs. Pearl Patrick, of this place, writes: "I was very constipated. I had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to , tear up my digestion. They would ' grlpo me and afterwards It seemed I was more constipated than before. ; I heard of Black-Draught and de- , elded to try It. I found It just what 1 needed. It was an easy laxallve, and not bad to swallow. My digestion soon , Improved. I got well of the sour stom- ' ach, my bowels soon seemed normal, no more griping, and I would take a ' dose now and then, and was in good shape. I cannot say too much for niack- j Draught for It Is the finest laxative one can use." Thedford's Black-Draught has for many years been found of great value in the treatment of stomach, liver an'l bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle and reliable in Its action, leaving no bad after-effects, it has won the praise of thousands of people who have used It NC-135 HAVEN DF MAIMED Palace of Bourbon Kings of Naples Is Put to Use. There Mutilated Soldiers of Italy Ara Housed and Taught Some Means of Self-Support. The war has turned the palnee of the Bourbon kings of Naples Into u home for mutilated soldiers. Around the exquisite marble table where the guests of the "Hoi Solell" of Nuples dined In the garden on hot summer nights?the ladies in powdered head dress and punier skirts, the men with lace at their sleeves and embroidered coats?today are gathered the pitiable fragments of humanity that war has left In Its wake. There nre neither candles nor massive silver, neither sweetmeuts nor rure wines. The Itallnn government allows 70 cents per day for their lodging and maintenance. and food Is high in Naples, i The marble table on warm days In the gardens Is the recreation center of the mutilated, In their worn and faded uniforms. Before each Is an oblong | cardboard placard, some of whose j spaces are numbered. One of the men j (he must be one of those who have | lost a leg, for the one-armed cannot , do the trick) shakes a basket-bottle j and turns out a numbered counter. In the sing-song Neapolitan dialect, he j cries the number. The one whose placard bears It. covers the space with a bit of glass. Whoever covers all his spaces first wins a cent from each of the others. Those who have no hands at all hnve grown wondrously skillful at flipping their bits of glass onto the placard by means of a bent pin stuck j in the empty sleeve. This Is recreation. There nre also hours of work. Once sumptuous chambers of the royal palace have been turned Into schoolrooms, In the month that the hospital has been running. In one, those who wish nre taught tailoring. In another shoemaking?the legless naturally, for one must have two hands to make shoes i and clothes. Those who have lost . an arm are taught telegraphy or type- ! writing. Hut many of the latter must begin farther hack than that, and : learn to read and write first. For ; reading and writing In southern Italy j are not common accomplishments, so | there Is a schoolroom?a primary schoolroom, where the alphabet and ! multiplication table figures on the j blackboard in front of these grown children who have known only to give an arm or a leg to their country. And an arm or a leg to these simple peasants U livelihood?their own and their fumilles. Which Is why some do not fdufly. They are suspicious. Mutilated, they are entitled to a government pen- j slon, and they are afraid that when they have learned a new trade by which they can live, the government will say: "You no longer need help? make your own living." So they sit all day in the sunlit, royal garden, with its faience flowerpots marked with lleur do lys, and watch the changing lights on the bay of Naples, and think of what life used to hold for them before the war came to cliaugo It utterly. Popular Superstitions. 1 hp loss of mi engagement ring is considered by many to be the climax j of III luck ami equivalent to n supernatural sign forbidding the ftirl to marry the man who gave tlio ring. , It Js commonly considered unlucky for a girl to marry a man whose surname begins with the same letter as her own. The old couplet says: "Change the name but not the letter, marry for worse and not for better." The superstitious girl docs not watch her sweet heart out of sight, as i this portends Mint the meeting will be the last one. If a girl has several admirers and wishes to know which she loves the best she plucks n rose and names each petal after an admirer. Then the petals are thrown Into a stream, and the one which disappears last Is the favored suitor. Ml larchies and Nobility. Monarchy is unfavorable to the growth of nn hereditary nobility. A king's policy must be to weaken the nobles lest some day they should become his rivals. In the reign of the English king, Henry III, Simon do Montfort and other militant noblemen fought the monarch and, on one occasion, took hiui prisoner. Even an absolute monarchy, while It gives the "nobles" political status, denudes them DOG ISJIAR HERO Saves Young French Soldier Left on the Field for Dead. Animal Refuses to Leave Side of HI* Friend and Drags Wounded Youth to Safety. Michael was larger, stronger and more Intelligent tlmn the other dogs i attuched to a certain division of the j French army and he was a general fa- | vorlte among the soldiers. Michael, nl- j though most "sociable," centered his purtlculur affections upon n young , French soldier named Henri. Every j day at the soup hour Michael would j appear carrying a tin can and place it J beside Henri, who would fill It as he did his own, and they would dine together. The day cnrne, however, when Henri failed to return, and ns the men stumbled bnck again to safety Michael scanned, with anxious eyes, every pale, haggard face, his sensitive nostrils quivering with dread. When the last tnnn hnH Koon accounted for and IlonrI was still missing the nnlmnl darted toward the hattlelh'Id and after some time returned.

He could scarcely wait for the attendants to bring a litter before he started off again, his great, Intelligent eyes Imploring them to hurry. In a remote part of the field they j found the young fellow lying still and ; cold. After a hasty examination the | attendants Wt him for dead, hurrying away to succor the living, hut Michael refused to bo convinced. Again and I again ho returned for assistance, according to Our numb Animals, hut In vain, so he mounted his solitary guard, his face almost humanly expressive of grief. j The attack took place about sundown, and it was not until late that night that comparative quiet settled down upon the trc. hes.

V' ,*y Convincing. As he disliked motor cars, a country squire always kept good horses. Recently he bought a particularly handsome marc, and a few days later asked his groom what lie thought of the new arrival. "She's a line-looking animal, sir," replied the man, "but I'm ufruid she's a hit touchy." "Why do you think so?" questloneil the squire. "She doesn't seem to take to no one, sir. She can't bear me to go into her box to groom her." "Oil, she'll settle down in a few ilnys." tin- squire reassured him. "Everything's strange to her, you know. I don't think thero's much wrong with her temper." "Nor didn't I ut first, sir," replied the groom.

"Won't you care what I say?" "No, 1 guess not." "Well, then. I know why you kiss me every Wednesday night." "I kiss you because I love you, Willie, of course." "That tiin't the reason, sis!" and the hoy edged slowly toward the open door. "You kiss me so (Jeorge can see what he is missing." Evolution of Paper.

" 1^8 SCOUT PRINCIPLES ___ i First of all, u hoy who becomes member of the Hoy Scouts of America must take an oatli. That's a perfectly natural thing. The Knights of the ltouml Table swore an oath uud so did the pirates that sailed the Spanish Main! So the Boy Scout pledges himself: 1. To do my duty to God and my country and obey the Scout Law. 'J. To help other people at all times. 8. To keep myself physically Strong, mentally uwake and morally straight. ? The Scout Law referred to In the nil Ml Pnv??r? UvpIvo imiittu A St/tilt Is Trustworthy, Loyul, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful. Thrifty, Hruve, Clean and Reverent. There are virtues that appeal to the spirit of chivalry that lives In tho heart of every hoy, and when enhanced by the sacredness of a solemn boyish oath they have u gripping appeal that works wonders in the growing character. With these virtues firmly planted in a hoy's mind and a habit of his daily life during bis formative years, there Is little danger of his forsaking them entirely in a later life. These virtues are made vital by a program of activities which gives a boy an opportunity to put them Into actual practice. He is given commissions to perform and is trusted "on Ids honor n>. it scout" to enrry them in10 effect. Tite feature of service to others is emphasized by encouraging scouts to do "a good turn" to somebody every day. This "good turn" Idea Is taken very seriously. It litis Inspired thousands of hoys to tho point where tin y volunteer to wash dishes and tend haliies. And there can he no severer test than ttint! The idea of thrift Is driven home by r julring a scout to earn and deposit money in a bank before he ran advance from the rank of Tenderfoot to tin.t of Second Class Scout and from ti e latter to the coveted position of First Class Scout. Bravery is expected of scouts us a mutter of course- -moral bravery us well us bravery of .pirit. The scout principles are made Interesting by louing, camping, lirst aid, knot tying, woodcraft, handicraft, pioneering, and all the other things of the same character thut boys like to do. But no activity Is Included In the Boy Scout program without a good reason; each must serve its purpose in contributing something to the character development of the boy. Scout activities and the scout oath and lnw | are so closely interwoven that it is Impossible to separate them. FILLING A REAL NEED. Whenever a real need exists, sooner or later something Is found to meet 1L A real need existed for something to fill with wholesome activity the spare time of boys?and the Roy Scout movement developed to meet It. This organization which has spread so amazingly during the last few years, has many claims to consider, hut none are so fundamental as this basic principle of keeping the boys so busy dolag useful tilings that there will he no time for them to engage in harmful activities. The thing about the Roy Scout movement that has surprised many people Is the fact that it works. People had heroine accustomed to consider hoys as being naturally mischievous and de ?

"What !" tliey ex<'laimed, "Make hoys want to do useful tilings? It Just can't lie done!" Then the Hoy Seoul movement came along and did it. SCOUT SERVICE SAVES $6,500. Cabot Ward. New York park commissioner. states that boys, members of the Hoy Scouts of America, who have assisted in taking care of Central park saved the park commission at least $r?,.*itui during the year 1010. in one day, when both Scouts and police were removed because of tli?$ press of other duties, nearly $'2,000 worth of damage was done by trespassers.
