AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

German efficiency has been held up
as degree of excellence unattainable
by Democracy. The accomplishments
of the United States since April 5th last
refute the truth of the claim. In the
shorts pace of time since that day the
United States has accomplished the fol
lowing:
Declared q state of war as existing
between this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously war fund
of $7,0O0,00O,000;
Appropriated 5000, 100000 for mer-
chant shipping and as much for air
fleets;
Agreed to loan our Allies $3,000000.-
900 and advanced them large proper
tion of that sum;
Passed selective draft law and in
single day registered nearly ten million
men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers in
the Regular Army and in the National
Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to aid
Democracy there and a body of rail
road men to Russia and another to
France to advise and assist in railroad
transportation in those countries;
Begun the construction of 80 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England fleet of destroyers
and to France detachment of troops;
Authorized and now enforcing EN-
barge whereby our enemies viii receive
no more food or material from us;
Passed food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary commits
sions and boards who are aiding the
Government and the people in the speed
ing up of work, conservation of food,
and other national movements;
Drafted by lot 6S7 900 men for mill.
tary service;
While the Government was accom-
plishing these things the American peo-
pie have loaned the United States
~, 900, 100000 and offered one billion
more, over four million citizens sub
scribing to the loan.
In addition they have given over
800, 100000 to the American Red Cross
and 100000 to the Young Men IS
Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or even
threatened with invasion and without
any uiStufDdHct Vi BUSINESS POHuitiOHs.
All was done with the calm determine
tion and Judgment of an earnest, patrio-
tic people performing a service for
civilization and mankind and maintain
ing the rights, the dignity, and the hon
or of the greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Ameri-
ca 8 entry into the war as bluff. This
is our answer.
The German Imperial Government was
nearly fifty years in perfecting its mill
tary efficiency. In less than four
months the American Republic has made
such strides as to indicate that in less
than two years time the boosted super.
iority of German efficiency win have
been discredited. There is such a
thing as American efficiency, and time
win prove that German efficiency can
not withstand it, fighting as il is for
liberty, justice and humanity.

Gen. Moore emphasizes, "that the
legislature should recognize the neces-

something to appease the appetite
created by the waiting. or course il
don't take, a sandstorm to put grit in

that the grit caused by this storm
kept Company l. more or less out OF

a large: box OF Home Raised pecans,
sent. for this occasion by Mr.. D.

Peace Sung"

A large audience gathered at Grace
Baptist church last night filling the
auditorium and Sunday School rooms
to overfowing, to hear the great can

by specially trained choir. The
cantata was most effectively render
ed and all sof those present We're
highly delighted with the pleasing
music. Several Of the solos and other
numers were executed in truly artis-

audience a new idea of what Sumte
musicians could accomplish in the
line of music, when they attempted
high class composition.
Previous to the singing of the can
tata DR.. John A. Brunson, pastor of
the church, read extracts from the
scripture showing the prophecies con-
corning the coming Of the Messiah,
and between the two parts he show

these. prophecies in the coming Of
Jesus Christ.

OWL. IS DAYLIGHT COWARD
But He Is One Of the Most Danger us
Of Birds to Be Encountered at
Night.

There nre about two hume red kinds
Of owls. Some are tiny owls; SOme are
big eagle owls, % inches in length,
very fierce and strong, ready to attack
Il man who goes near, able to kill
fawns and large game birds and to do
battle with$t the golden eagle. The cour.
age of one Of these golden owls de.
serts 1t in the daytime, and then little
birds, led by n crow, may find 1t and
drive it into the open and tease and
worry it without danger to themselves.
But when night comes, and the bird
can see, only a mighty eagle dare do
battle with it. e.,
The hawk owl is one Of the owls
which work by day. 1t is big and
strong and savage. There are owls
with great ear tufts of feathers and
owls with none at all. Some are snowy
white; others are notified. Some live
In holes in the ground with prairie
dogs and such animals, some make bur-
rows for themselves. But most owls
live in hollow trees or in church bel
fries or other high towers. Among so
many kinds Of owls there are some of
course that do more good for men than
evil.
