A MORE DANGEROUS MENACE
THAN U-B0ATS.
CFrom the Augusta Chronicle)

NfTOlu IHe Augusta CHFOnlCle.1
The Chronicle reproduces herewith
IN editorial from The Pittsburg Leader
believing it presents the subject in a
most forceful and effective manner and
merits the consideration of the public;
A new menace confronts the United
States.
1t is ruthless economy.
This economical scare is the sub
marine of industry, the torpedo of pros
perity, the poisonous gas of progress.
The nation is prosperous and will
continue to be prosperous if its people
dc not allow themselves to be fright
.ened into putting on the brakes.
The way to keep up prosperity is to
keep up buying.
The way to bring disaster is by
Isenseless boarding.
The lip-patriots and the notoriety-
seekers have tried to create a panic
iamong the people that is more peril
Gus to the entire nation than a feet
or German undersea boats.
1t is right and proper that every
body aid in food conservation, and use
all means to stop the waste in food
products. but that is the only diree-
ton in which conditions demand econ
omy.
There is no relation between food
conservation and money boarding

ering, which is mostly social. After
considering the matter from all sides
they have decided to go ahead with
the arrangements as originally plann-
ed. This is sanity and will be good
news to the business people of Pitts
burg who expect to do much business
with the visitors.
If there is any disposition on the
part of convention committees to call
eff gatherings of this kind, the cham
Der of commerce, through its cOnven-
tion committee, or other body, should
combat such feeling. Let all the Pitts
burg conventions booked for this city
this year be held and let us all go
about our business just about as we
die before the war, working hard and
playing harder, building up the pro-
ductivity of our soil and factory, con-
serving our energies, outstanding our
resources and expanding our business.
In this way the man who cannot
take up gun and the woman who
cannot nurse will be doing their share
of patriotic service for their country.

YOUR PART IN THE WAR.

who will be called upon for military
service in our war for the principles
Of democracy will be exceedingly smal
as compared with the enormous pop
ulation of the nation. But upon those
who stay at home, no less than upon
those who go to the front, devolyes a
duty which must be periodically, un'
hesitatingly performed.
1t is the vast bulk of our financial,
industrial and agricultural resources
that must furnish our nose formidable
weapon in the world struggle into
which we have at last been forced to
actively participate. The mobilization
of these resources is the present task
and one of the first steps in this direc-
ton has been the authorization of the
liberty loan" of two billion dollars to
be used for the prosecution of the war
by the European Allies as well as by
the United States. Our resources have
been placed at the disposal of our
partners in this struggle
The citizens of every state, every
every city, town and village
are being called upon by Presidena
Wilson to rally to the support of the
goernment and take up by popular sub
scription, the liberty loan" bonds
which have been distributed among the
federal reserve banks and through
them to the financial institutions in
every section of the country.
The liberty loan" bonds are issued
in denominations as low as $50 and
500, drawing interest at the rate of
8 IL per cent. They are purchasable
On the installment plan if desired, thus
placing it within the power of the
citizen to do his bit" Pro-
vision has been made that if additional
securities of this nature are issued by
the government at higher rate of in
terest, the present liberty loan" bonds
are TO Immediately draw the increased
interest rate.
Nc better collateral can be obtained
than a government bond, behind which
are the entire resources of the nation.
The bonds are convertible into cash at
any moment at any bank in the coun-
try, while as an investment for the
frugal householder wishing to save
what he may from week to week, the
installment plan of payment affords
the best facilities of the modern saw
ings bank
The bankers of Sumter county have
actively taken up the task of placing
these liberty loan" bonds in the hands
of the residents of this section and a
comprehensive campaign is to be wag-
ed to secure the greatest possible sub
scription to the fund that will furnish
the sinews of war to our military fore
es.
There should be no hesitancy in the
performance of patriotic duty, nc
matter how arduous, but in the case OF
the liberty loan" bonds, the purchase
of which is in itself an evidence Of
sound business judgment, there Shout
be a general movement on the part Of
the citizens of Sumter county to take
advantage of the present opportunity

Congress declares that it would like
TO have another month to consider the
war tax bill. There are plenty of folks
scattered over the country who no

Washington would keep right on con
sidering" the measure until perchance
the Allies whip Kaiser Bill and the
great war is brought to an end.

made the public believe there is APP
pears in a statement of bank deposits
in the Pittsburg district totaled $780,
912. 797 more on May /, 1917, than on
tie same date year ago.
It means that business in the Pitts
burg district has been reduced by
$9O,OOO,6Oo
1t means that some persons are de-
priving themselves of things that
make life possible.
boarding of money doesn't mean
happiness to the individual or pros
perity for the community
You can't eat money and only a de-
PRAYED miser can get pleasure by
counting his hoard
If people don't buy there will be no
work for the people who sell, and no
employment for the people who make
the things offered for sale.
The inexorable logic of such con-
dition means that all industry and all
trade will be strangled, and thus re-
act upon those who started the hoard
ing, by giving them no more money to
hoard.
If this economical hysteria is not
cured, everybody will be PROSTATE in
sackcloth and ashes, mourning for
the prosperity that was slain by
folly.
What was possibly the limit of this
economical spasm was reached last
week when some of the women of
Beaver county resolved to buy no
more shoes during the present year.
Since they have realized how dis
disastrous such a decision would be
to themselves, as well as to others,
they understand now that they were
not helping the country, but actually
throwing a monkey wrench" into the
machinery that keeps the whole nation
moving.
This is no time to tremble, no time
to fear, no time to shirk.
1t is no time for our people to
shroud themselves in gloom or to pass
through the streets with sour faces
and shrinking souls.
There is no occasion for denial of
pleasures or luxuries.
Women do not need to do without
pretty hats or becoming gowns, or
handsome shoes, or the thousand and
one things that women delight in.
Men need not wear shabby clothes
or shocking hats or ragged shirts or
frayed collars.
Business should go on as usual.
Pleasure should not be curtailed.
Any other course would be unpa-
Congressman porter has hit the
nail squarely on the head when he
said, Keep business going and keep
the country prosperous"
People should live within their
means but they should continue buy
ing hats, gloves, clothing, shoes and
all the other necessities, just as they
did before the war.
There is no curtailment needed at
this time, except possibly in food-
stuffs and the elimination of waste will
meet the food problem.
Simply because we are at war is
no reason why we should stint and
scrape and deny ourselves the CON
veniences and even Injuries.
If you have planned a trip for next
summer, take the trip. Do not shut
off rational recreation or innocent
amusement.
Several outings have been cancelled
by organizations which thought they
were doing something beneficial, when,
as a matter of fact, they were merely
working an injury by shutting off rec
reative avenues open to the working
people who need and must have
amusement.
Go to the theatre just as much as
