/I 11 WL The Chesterfield Advertiser PUBLISHED EVERY- THURSDAY Subscription, $1.00 a year. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. DEAL GENTLY BUT FIRMLY WITH THE "QUEER ONES" The U. S. government has set n fine example of patience and toler ance before the people . Though at times there have been expressions oi disapproval of the lenient treatmen by the government of the pro-German and the slacker, the dispositior in the main has been to follow thi lead of the government. There is a time, however, wher patience ceases to be a virtue and it is very evident that that time hat about arrived. From every slate ir the union now conies the news of action taken by the patriotic citizens to deal with certain, though few, individuals who happen to be residing on the wrong side of the river Rhine. Here and there over this beautiful land of ours are to be found queer variations of the human species, whose exotic souls go out in sympathy for the Ilohen/.olerns and the Hapsburgs. Like the 1. W. VV, they long for Wilhelm to "come and reign over us." It is a pleasure to note that these "queer ones" are being dealt with a* the occasion demands. It is also gratifying to know that very seldom has undue violence been resorted to The conduct of the citizens ol Chester and VVadesboro in this regard is especially commendable. Miss Perry, the first woman to plead a case in South Carolina, won the decision in a suit tried at Greenville. Now that South Carolina's first and only woman lawyer has won her first case may there not be many fair Portia's to contend with male members of the bar and beat them at their own game? BURBANK'S NEW WHEAT Just now when the government is cutting down the number of biscuits we can eat here comes Luther Burbank with a new wheat that con tains more than the u::ual amount ot gluten. Gluten is the most nutritious element of food, according U the scientists, and after eleven yeavs of experiments, Burbanks the wizard lias produced a wheat with a larvrt percent of gluten. The food admin istrator will probably tell you lha with so much gluten in flour yoi don't need so many biscuits.. A1 right. Anything to whip the Kaiser A PATRIOTIC GERMAN Mr. Fred Beier, who was born ii Prussia, but who left the Kaiser' kingdom for America, has written ; very patriotic letter in which hi u:'gcs his fellow-Germans to stand b; America. He gives some very gooi reasons why Germans in this coun try should be loyal to America. Hi father was a poor man with nin children. He owned only seven acre of land and it was hard to make a liv ing under such circumstances. If said that the most thrifty man wh< worKed mere as a common labore could not save over $20 a year. Had he stayed in Germany hi would have had to take three year of military training, and after tha give about two months of each yea to military work and be subject t< call for active service at any time 'ihis would have continued true un til he was 4f> year., old, and afte that he would have had to join th< land reserve or home guard. Mr. Beier replying to the claim o some of the German sympathizer that in fighting against German; they were fighting against their owi blood said: "Fighting against its own blooi is what makes America the land o me "-eu louay. uian i tne nrst set tiers in the New England State fight their own blood when in th< Revolutionary War they whippec England? And they whipped her be cause on this side they fought foi freedom. When this country wen through the Civil War did not brolhci tight brother and father fight son' And can't we now see that their figh was a good fight and that right won; "If the freedom which we now en joy has been bought with the blood of thousands of liberty-loving men and years of strife are we who come here and share it without one cent of cost to us going to fight against it now when it needs us? if we do we are surely traitors and never again can we claim to be honest men and women." A HUMBLE APOLOGY "An unfortunate mistake occur red in last week's edition," plaintive* ly otters a Custer County paper. "W? referred to Mr. Takem, candidate foi sheriff on the opposition ticket, as t 'rough-hewn diamond.' It shoulc ^ have been 'ruffianly demon.' W? trust our readers will forgive the mistake."?-Omaha Bee.... ' ON 80ME TOMORROW On some tomorrow?when 'twill come? How soon none may foresee. There will be men and women met In social company. One man will wear an armless sleeve, And prob'ly near to him A comrade blind?and still a thud With crutch and shattered limb. There will be talk of lield and trench, Of battles in the air, Of conflicts and of charges and? Of men who are not there. And others will be welcome to Thut circle with the rest. Who strove through those dark hours t of trial To be and live and give their best And those who heard and answered not? Who gave no jot away?Will find but little int'rest in The talk of men that day. On some tomorrow?when 'twill t come?

The I L State law requires that the competi-! tive examination for the award of 1 these scholarships and for entrance > to the Freshman class be held on ' ' July 12th, beginning at 9 a. m. It is desired that these scholar-; : ships go to worthy and deserving boys. The demand for college trained | men is Tar greater today than the J supply. j 1 A scholarship student may also re' eoive aid from the II. S. Government.

She's sleeping peacefully for the Lord will gently wake her when he comes to claim his own. Geneva was 5 years, 6 months and 10 days old. We should not weep, for the good Lord has said.
