OUR FLAG ON EVERY SEA.

One striking outcome of the wal will be to revolutionize pre-war ship ping conditions.
 Huge sums are to be expended in the next twelve-months in the crea- tion of great American merchantile fleet. In addition to this construction under government auspices, private enterprise is similarly planning to de- velop other fleets of merchandise car riers for use in coastwide trade and on inland lakes and rivers.
 It has been estimated that at least 6,OOO,OOO tons of steel and wooden ships will be added to America's pres ent tonnage for overseass purposes This means that after the war Ole Glory will fly on every sea.

This slick one from the Kokomo, Ind, Tribune, caught our eye: Frank Gerhart, the druggist, has discovered that the potato bug is a German at heart. This has been long suspected. Frank says it makes the problem of eradication easier. He goes into his gafden patch at eventide and plays "P,r Wacht Am Rhein" on French harp. The bugs all stand attention and Frank simply picks 'em off,"

SUBMARINE STILL
 A PERIL.

One no longer hears as much about the kaiser's sea snakes as we once did, but it is evident they are skill levying tribute upon the worlds shipping.
 Contemporary reports by the allies on shipping losses indicate that the average is being maintained; and the sinking of the important liner De- vonian of the Leyland line, vessel of more than 10000 tons, indicates fur ther that the worlds shipping is con- stantly meeting with German ruth lessness on the high seas of a charac- ter to make us all thoughtful.
 Despite our ship-building plans and programs, it takes time to construct vessels, and meanwhile the u-boats re- main busy. One would think some antidote could be found, but since the construction of the newer type of sub- marines the so-called "sub-chasers' have proven a fiasco; for what does it benefit a small "chaser" to come up with submarine when the latter is so large that it "shoos" the smal craft away? That's the situation exactly in regard to the new type o1 u-boats, and is what complicates thu problem, and is at the bottom of Sec retary Daniels order that the con struction of destroyers be vastly aug n1ented, as a destroyer, unlike thu small "sub- chaser" is able to cop' with diver when it meets one.

publish an account of his death, writ
ten by one of his comrades and close
personal friends, Mr.. w. II. S. Harris.
The Times feels a distinct loss in the
death of Mr.. Gault, for he has for
many years been a friend to the pa
per, and was a regular correspondent
for its columns. The Times editor and
Mr.. Gault were frequently wide apart
on political questions and public ques-
tions not political, but he was willing
to take as we'll as give in argument,
and we were always the best of
friends. He was a man of strong con-
victons and was as fearless as he was
strong. We sincerely mourn his
death, and trust that his loved ones
may find comfort in the faith that
was comfort to the man whose place
on earth is now vacant.

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY 1T!
STOP DANDRUFF AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Hair Stops Falling Out and Gets
Thick, Wavy, Strong and
Beautiful.

Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as young
girls after "Danderine hair
cleanse" Just try this-moisten a
cloth with little Danderine and care
fully draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time. This
will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and
excessive oil and in just few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty
of your hair
Besides beautifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanscs, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at tirst-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it surely get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
gist or toilet counter, and just try it.

against the present schedule on the
Southern Railway. We most assur-
edly prefer the noon train to the early
morning train from Spartanburg. If
we cannot have the two trains, one at

then, by all means, let us have the
11:40. 1t is working a great hard

from coming by the present arrange
ment.

The Powell property recently sold
for division was purchased by the
heirs and it is understood that it will
be divided up into roomy building lots
and sold to responsible people who de-
sire to build home. We feel sure
this will pay the owners and will
prove good thing for the city, for
the property is within the corporate
limits of Union and will furnish many
desirable residence lots. We hope this
can be done by the owners both for
their own sakes and for the good of
Unions future.

The farmers in their general con-

30 cents. The South Carolina State

good and it looks now as though that
point will soon be reached.
