VACATION HINTS.

1t is not enough, by any means, that
the place you select for your summer
vacation should have attractive seem
cry, fine bathing, good fishing and an
excellent daily bill of fare.
While it is true that many keepers
of summer resorts have learned that
their places must be made safe as well
as attractive, there are those who have
not learned the Importance of santa
ton as a factor in making their re-
sorts popular and profitable. So then,
the place you select for your vacation
time should, first of all, be safe place.
If it belongs in this class the water
supply will be of proven purity; from
a deep driven well, remote from any
possible source of pollution and
thoroughly protected from surface
drainage.
The toilet facilities will be safe by
having the out houses and vaults com
pletely screened so that flies cannot
have access to them. And, of course,
there will be no flies in the dining
room and sleeping chambers will be
protected against both flies and mos
quitoes. There will also be daily re-
moval and sanitary disposition of all
waste and refuse, either by incinerator
or by burying and no sewerage will be
drained into the places used for bath
ing.
The above are the things you should
note, and unless you find them salts
factory, don't tarry, but find a place
that meets these important require
ments. Better be safe than sorry.

CENSURE.
Council Judiciary Committees Resolu-
tion Directed Against Mayor on
School Issue.

Following is the resolution of censure
adopted by the Judiciary committee
and recommended to the city council
for adoption:
Whereas, William Hale Thompson,
by arbitrarily and tyrannically seeking
to thwart the city council in the ex-
preston of its will, has fiagrantly dis
regarded the safeguards of popular
government for whose preservation the
American people stand, and,
Whereas, His attempt to dissolve a
session of the city council in violation
of the wishes of a clear majority of
that body and his denial of an orderly
expression of the councils will by
call of the roll, as duly requested and
as guaranteed by the laws of this state
constitute a plain violation of the
solemn oaths which he took when he
entered upon the duties of mayor of
Chicago and president of the city coun'
ell; therefore be it
Resolved, That the city council de
plores and hereby censures the action
of William Hale Thompson in attempt

From all the information we can
gather upon the subject of the Ger
man submarine situation it appears to
US that Germany had about compassed
the ends she sought, and but for the
entrance of the United States into
the war would have been victorious
over all the allies. Even now it's
going to take the combined world to
whip Germany. There is nothing
gained by Understanding the
strength of the enemy. 1t is esti-
mated that 1,745,0Oo tons have been
sent to the bottom by Germany for the
first third of this year.

PRESIDENT SETS
RECRUITING WEEK
JUNE 1880 DESIGNATED FOR
REGULAR ARMY.
President Urges Men From 1S to 4O
to Present Themselves for
Service in War.

Washington, June 20.-President
Wilson issued a proclamation today
designating the week of June 1880
as recruiting week for the regular
army and called upon unmarried men
without dependents to enroll for war
service in order that the ranks of the
regulars might be filled promptly.
This was the presidents first call
for volunteers in the present war. The
proclamation follows:
proclamation by the president:
"I hereby designate the period of
June 23 to June 80, next, as recruit
ing week for the regular army and
call upon unmarried men between the
ages of 18 and 40 years, who have
no dependents and who are not en-
gagged in pursuits vitality necessary to
the prosecution of the war, to present
themselves for enlistment during the
week herein designated to the num-
ber of 10000.
(Signed) "Woodrow Wilson"
The president acted at the request
of army officials who have been Sc
riously concerned over the slow rate
of recruiting for the regular army.
1t had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to it's VIII lie
war strength of approximately 3O0,-
900 men by July 30, which would have
permitted the war department to carry
out it's plans in regard to the train
ing of all forces to be raised and
also as to the dispatch of armies to
France. For several days, however
the average enrolment for the army
per day has been little more than
1000 men instead of the 5000 OF
more the department hoped to OBJ
tain.
Today's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April /, 121,363 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers OF
the 1S3,898 necessary to bring the
service to war strength. The army
therefore, is now in the neighborhood
of 10000 men short of war strength

We have felt all along that Russia
would not turn from a czar to a
kaiser for help in her time of sore
trouble. And the recent news from
that country shows that our supposi-
ton was correct. Every day the con-
ditions point more clearly to a demo,
cratic government In that much dis
turbed land. Robert Grimm, the
Swiss socialist who visited Petrograd
to plead for peace on behalf of the
Germans, has been expelled by the
provisional government and the SOL
diers' and workingmen's council has
declared in favor of a fight to the
finish. Added to these hopeful signs,
the douma has ordered an immediate
offensive against the Germans. It be-
gins to looks like affairs are taking a
very satisfactory shape in the mighty
country of Russia.

PATRONS OF MAIL ASKED
TO HELP UNCLE SAMMIE
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Thinks There Will Be an Appre-
preciable Saving.

Don't use two one-cent stamps,
where a two-cent stamp will do, or
two five-cent stamps where a ten
cent stamp will answer. The Uniteo
States government can save money
if the people of the country will only
heed this request. While it is diff
cult to realize that an appreciable saw
ing can be made in the printing, hand
ling and cancelling by doing this the
third assistant postmaster general has
made the statement that it will effect
large saving.
This may come little hard on the
gallant swain and the blushing lassie
who thinks it distasteful to use a
two-ceHt stamp on letter, but now
it may be called an act of patriotism
to lay aside such an conventionality
when it means a saving to Uncle Sam.
The third assistant postmaster gem
eral has issued the following:
GAS measure of economy, use
stamps of the highest denominations
suiting to the amount of postage re-
quired on all mail. For example, a
2-cent stamp instead of two 1-cent
stamps should be affixed to letters
needing 2-cents postage, and a lv,
cen tstamp instead of five 2-cent
stamps should be attached to parcels
requiring 10 cents postage. Coop
Grafton between postoffice employees
and the public in the sale and use of
stamps of the higher denominations
will effect large saving to the gov
ernment in the cost of producing,
transporting and cancelling them, and
will benefit the public in minimizing
the number of stamps handled and
affixed to mail. This benefit will be
especially important to business con-
Germs mailing large quantities of let
ters and parcels, and postmasters
are directed to bring the suggestion
particularly to their notice.
"Postmasters will cause this sug-
gestien to be published in the news
papers when it can be done without
expense to the department.

eral."

PROFIT IN COTTON
Marlboro Planter Sells 100 Bales al
25 Cents-Predicts Higher Price.

Bennettsville, June 17.-John L.
McLaurin has most of his 1914 crop
on hand. He sold 100 bales this week
at 25 cents, the highest price paid
since war times in Marlboro county.
He said that he knew cotton would
still go very much higher, especially
the next crop months, but that he
needed some money to pay current
expenses on his present crop. He said
he could only get 6 cents per pound
when he put the cotton in the ware
house. This makes 19 cents profit,
less storage charges.

How could you tell when and where

Suppose the mother of General

You don't want to risk your treas

is indeed harder to risk ones beloved
than ones self. But there are things
still harder.
You don't want your lad to meet
danger, like Washington and Grant
and Sheridan and the rest whom you
taught him to admire.
You'd rather keep your boy where
you believe him safe than have youl
country safe!
You'd rather have him to look al
here, Stacker, than abroad earning
glory, as Patriot.
You'd rather have him grow old anc

a hero's death, with many chances Of
coming back to you, proudly honored
You'd rather have him go by acci

There are risks at home, you know
Are you afraid of them, too? How
can you guard him?
You'd rather have your boy NEE
even disease, disgrace, dissolution
than take his chances shoulder t.

men who raised their boys to do theil
duty. Would you?
Is it you who are keeping him back
Shame on you, Mother! You who
are no true, proud mother.
