What S. O. S. Means.

In talking with the wireless opera
tors many-ship passengers ask the
meaning of the three letters used
in the distress signal. IS. o. S..
There seems to be a general opinion
that the letters are the abbreviation
of three separate words with a def
mite meaning. Persons of an imagl-
native trend will tell you that the
letters stand for Save our ship,
Send out succor," Sink or swim
or some such meaning. The letters
signify nothing but that ship is in
distress and in need of assistance.
The call is used by all nations as a
universal code, so that any wireless
operator, regardless of the language
he speaks, can Immediately intercept
the call of distress. Inasmuch as the
call is in use by all countries, it can
be seen that the signal can have no
meaning in any language. The char
acter of the code makes it call that
can be picked out easily from other
signals, being composed of three dots,
three dashes, three dots.

Queer Lights.

Speaking purely as neutral,
said Representative Harvey Helm
the other day in Washington, &C
cording to the New York Times. Il
can't help remarking what odd lights
the various powers have to throw on
events in order to make them seem
favorable to themselves.
Now England. now Russia, now
Germany and now France comment
on events so strangely that l am
reminded of Smith.
Smith, talking about his employ
er, a manufacturer, said:
"'He's no hard taskmaster. He's
no speed-up. Other firms have this
here blasted eight-hour law-ye got
to get through a whole days work
in eight hours, or out ye go. But
down to our place We can take yer

The Sleeper.

European sleeping cars are very
dear-S2O a berth, in fact-but
they afford you the privacy of bed
ROOM
The speaker was the well-known
comedian, Raymond Hitchcock. He
resumed
"Our sleeping cars, while COM
forable enough as they are, it is very
hard to sleep in them.
Il was travelling one night Chlca-
coward. The berth above me was
occupied by 300-pound broker. 1t
was impossible to slumber anywhere
within a half-mile radius of that
broker, and at about two in the
morning l climbed up to him, took
him by the shoulders, and shook him
rudely.
What do you mean he growled,
by waking me out of sound sleep?'
But it's such an ugly sound,
said l, Its such an ugly, horrible
sound that we other passengers posi-
lively refuse to tolerate it. "

Pictures That Talk Peace.

Peace advocates are going on with
their own campaign, making war on
war" says the Christian Herald.
They do this in novel manner by the
use of illustrated posters bearing
such legends as: Here go good men
needed by their families then a
picture of troops on the march-"to
kill other men, needed by their fami-
lies. This is war" Another poster
reads: Here are the poor made poor
er and the hungry made more hun
CRY. (This is the picture of home
less refugees). This is war. These
homeless one know what war is The
illustrations are reproductions OF
actual war photographs.

about thirty small boys sat in state

thin remarks through a ragged mus

Quite right, my little fellow.
Now, let us see whether you really

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1914-12-31

Stripped on its legal verbiage, it
appears there is really no benefit to
be derived by the farmers from the
Wade cotton loan fund. 1t appears
that the farmer must pay six per
cent. interest on the loan and then
three ger cent is deducted from the
face of the loan for Expenses" and
losses In other words nine per
cent. interest is charged. Then the
cotton must be warehoused at the
usual rates, must be insured at the
usual high rates, and then the farmer
can borrow on the basis of FIVE cents
a pound for middling. The loans
run for one year. Unless cotton ad-
vances to - cents pound in the
next year, We fail to see whereby a
farmer will be benefited. 1t really
seems that the farmer could better
sell his cotton at the prevailing
price, about I 1-2 cents.
