A S advertising took on this char

aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. Housewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency Of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come I'M
der the sway of ."business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff
fciency and economy and wise .judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If 2 merchant holds the at

in their buying by the ADVERTISE

IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

THINE was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but a
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising improved,
and it. came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

The Liberty Loan. What and Why
BY Gelett Burgess and II a. Lamb,
Of the Nigilantes

authors poets, dramatists and other
promoting patriotsmD.
Now, just as all guess-work about
military and naval matters, at the be-.
ginning of the war, proved futile and
faulty. so all estimates by economists
as to the financial strength of nations
were wrong, No one had any idea Of
the amazing borrowing capacity of
modern governments
And the Germans, who have made
so many psychological mistakes-wlo
thought Russia, too unprepared to
help France. and France too weak
and decadent to help herself-the Ger.
mans who could not anticipate that
England would fight!
The Germans had another guess
coming and again they guessed
wrong-AmeriCa did wake up!
So 1t isn't strange that those same
Germans are now derding our loans
to France and Italy as mere tips 3"
They are openly laughing at our little
war credit OF only seven billions.
Well, perhaps they have some rea-
son to- this time.
Seven billions seemed, five years
ago like good deal of money. But
this war has changed all our old
standards. We talk now of billions
quite easily We are putting our
economic strength against a nation
only about one.third as rich as we are.
with two-thirds our population and
three times our debt, even after this
loan is raised When you consider
what, nevertheless, Germany has done
in the way of raising money twenty
billions-this bond issue seems pretty
small We shall soon eat it up.
This is not going 10 be an amateur
war; once in, We mean business Bio
business we know needs big moneg
OF all the bolligerent nations we are
the richest and safest IL is up to Ms
to finance the struggle for the civil
lied world and We shall need many
more billions after the first loan is
floated We must at least rival e
not surpass our allies, who mp TO now
have dwarfed us by their efforts
The most prominent figures in the
financial world are putting huge sums
into the Liberty loan. You would fol-
low their tip on the stock market
wouldn't you? Why not follow it now,
and put your hundreds and thousands
where they have thought it good to
invest their millions?
The ultra.rich are only the advance
guard Great as is their wealth, the
bulk of the nations capital is in the
hands Of those of moderate and mod.
est fortunes. 1t is from the myriad
people OF smaller means that the
money 10 conduct the war should
come It must come it will come, will
il not from you and me?

Proper Food for Weak stomaehs.

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating. they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move tue
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.

of the best entertainments she has
ever given for the library. This
play is a necessity, as the library is
without funds, and should its doors
be closed the money willed by Mr..

full house. The very best talent
has come to Miss Abney's assist
ance. Black Pattie will charm you
with her beautiful voice that has
thrilled hundreds. Miss Wood

Important to Teachers and
Children.

Realizing the increase in the use
of tobacco, especially in cigarette
form, and knowing the dire results
to our boys and young men, physl
cally, mentally and morally. want
every child in South Carolina to
learn the truth about the effects of
this narcotic weed. This is my plan:
For High Schools-Eacn teacher
will have his Or her pupils or grades
to write composition, in their En-
glish study, on The Cigarette as
an Evil" The best one in the
school will be selected and sent to
your county superintendent of anti
narcotics. She will select the best
in the county, and silver medal
will be awarded the winner. The
essay will be printed in the county
papers.
Out of the silver medal essays the
best will be selected and a gold
medal will be awarded the winner
by the State superintendent. His
or her essay will be printed in The
State and News and Courier.
For Elementary Schools SINH
lar contest will be held in elemen-
tary schools in fifth, sixth and sew
enth grades. A gold prize for the
best IN the State.
If your teacher does not hold this
contest you may compete and send
ycur essay to county superintendent
of anti-narcotics.
Contests close April 80, 1917.
All papers mnst be in before that
date. For further information and
literature on the subject apply to
Pearl Collier,
Supt. Anti-N Narcotics.

Your correspondent has been much

time, then, the account from this
neighborhood has been deficient,
partial, or inaccurate, it Is hoped
that your readers may be charitable
in their criticism of the same. But
now the bitter winter has passed,
the sweet springtime has come, and
with it absent loved ones will re-
turn, the home will grow bright and
cheerful again, and all will go mer-
ry as marriage bell.''
Rumor says that very valuable
chalk bed has been found in our
ncighborhood on the plantation
formerly owned by State Superin-
tendent J. E. Swearingen and re-
Gently sold to Mr.. Lovick Minis, of
Edgeield. They say" that samples
of this chalk or deposit, have been
tested by experts and pronounced
very fine, and that now projects are
on foot for the working of this
mine.
1t is to be hoped that all of this
will materialize for it will mean
an advantage to our whole COM
munity. Already we are dreaming
dreams of a trolley or railroad run
ming up to it from Augusta, and
thus putting us in closer touch with
the fine markets OF that place.

TESTIMONIALS.

1t is my belief that the excessive
use of cigarettes by young boys
stunts their physical growth, i'm
pairs their nervous system, weakens
their mental powers, and too fire.
quently benumbs their moral sense.
(Signed) w. S. Currell,
Pres, University of S. G.
You certainly have my hearty en-
dorsement in your fight against
cigarettes. Everyone thrown with
young boys knows the awful effect
they are having upon them.
(Signed) D. NJ. Douglas,
President Presbyterian College.
The smoking of cigarettes is as
much an indication of lack of am
bition and ability, as it is an i'm
pairment of these qualities. Most
young men who smoke cigarettes to
excess would never amount to any
thing anyway, but the exceptions to
this rule ought to be deferred by
common observation and the poll
cies of all large companies which re-
fuse to employ young men subject
to habits which impair efficiency.
(Signed) w. NJ. Riggs,
President Clemson.
I regard the cigarette habit
as one of the tilthiest foes of our
growing boys. Newberry college
strictly forbids the smoking o.
cigarettes by the students durine
their connection with the Institu
ton, and the practice has abated
in recent years. My experience
with college boys leads me to say
that the habitual cigarette smoker
is pretty certain sooner or later tt
show up short either mentally O.
morally or both.
(Signed) J. Henry Harms,
President Newberry college.
A quarter of a century of expert
ence in handling boys has taugh
me that the boy who is habitua
cigarette smoker never takes higl
stand in his class or in any othe
department of school.
