AMERICA TO THE RESCUE!

lanes u. CRISIS letter from Camp
SEWER. has been badly cut up by the
censor this week. 1t Is the first time
that the censor has interferred fur
thrr than TO fix his stamp OF approval.
But this time the Introductory para
graphs have been cut from and in
Guiding the date line leaving little
else than the following:
Training and preparation for war
is worse than war itself. they say. Be
sides as the men here read the papers
every morning and every afternoon
and learn OF the great strength OF the
enemy; read Of the heroic sacrifices
Of the Allies. Of the daily deeds Of
bravery: read Of the need for men TO
ill the gaps. there arises in every
heart a desire to get over and into it q
desire to help to whip them and to
bring peace to a stricken world.
"Haig's Line Still Holds" was the
lead headline that blazed across an
extra OF the Grecnville Piedmont Sat-
urday afternoon.
4 number OF soldiers read that
headline and read the story telling Of
the offensive Of the Germans and Of
Allied lines intact
The soldier who was reading to his
comrades dropped the paper to the
ground.
He clenched his fists as he raised
his arms over his head:
Great Cod" he exclaimed in high
pitched voice and his eyes agleam
with fire-"if I were only there in that
line holding with EN-" -
Same here" cried another Of the
party; me too" said another and the
voice OF assent went all around the
little party.
"Oh why don't they send us over
and let US in it; we amt no experts In
soldierin' maybe; but damn 1t. we
could shoot until we died."
This Is illustrative OF the sentiment
of the Thirtieth now. The Thirtieth
wants to go over and hold or die. It's
got TO be done.

InteIIioent Action This.

II is worth the while Of thoughtful
people to consider the advertisement Of
the Charleston Cotton Exchange in
another column.
II is not necessary for us to call
especial editorial attention to this ad-
vertiscment. The advertisement itself
does that both through the import
ance Of the message II carries and the
amount of space 1t occupies.
But we want to make a few obser-
vations as TO the significance of this
advertisement. more especially as TO
the lessons it teaches
The people Of South Carolina have
been somewhat awakened as to the
importance Of food production and
food conservation. two Of the most
important considerations with which
they are confronted at the present

York county has gone away down in
the list showing comparative stand
ing in the per capita sales OF war
savings stamps. When the list was
last published York county was third
with only Beaufort and Charleston
ahead. Now she is seventh, Orange
burg, Spartanburg, Anderson and
Marion having gotten in between her
and Charleston. SO far the sales OF
stamps in York county amount to only
26 cents per capita. The sales OF the
county aggregate $4,000. Is that the
measure Of how much York county
desires to help?

In This Hour of Trial.

The Yorkvillr Enquirer is no calam-

been TO try to keep it's head through
good fortune and through misfortune.
through times of prosperity and times
of stress.
We believe in looking at facts rs

mize or cXaggcrate.
Il is not uncommon for individuals
to become more or less exasperated at
us because OF our apparent lack OF
enthusiasm. and very possibly we
sometimes fail to measure up in this
respect as we should.
We believe our feet are as much on
the ground right now rs they have
ever been: but we have found II I'M
possible To maintain an attitude OF
complasance with rcfcrcnc" to exist
ing conditions.
The lives. the property. the self

of our people are at stake as they have
never been before.
We are in far greater danger now
than when we were fighting for scpa-
ration from Great Britain. Then II

All that we have. he it little or be
it much. we owe to the government
that we have erected and n govern
ment which we control and maintain.
The government needs money and Ia
bor. men and women with which to
defend itself. and it is calling upon
all of us to hclp-not to help it: but
to help ourselves.
The man or woman who holds back
his or her efforts now on the excuse
that he or she has already been help

hath will he give for his life," and 1t
is true: but always there have been
those who would take narrow chances

Without doubt property is now the
key To our fate.

Small Farm Owner May Secure Aid
,.a.n EARN 4 nan Rnard-The Federal

Small Farm Owner May Secure Aid
| from Farm Loan Board.-The Federal
farm loan board has issued the follow
ing rules for the guidance OF the land
banks in determining what area con-
stitutes farm for loaning purposes:
First. Gencrally.-The farm must
be of sufficient area TO yield at the
hands OF an ordinary capable farmer,
putting II to the use to which 1t Is
generally adapted and using average
methods. an income sufficient to main
tain the family Of the applicant and
discharge the interest and amortization
payments.
Second. Specially--Where through
intensive farming or the practice OF
speciality a sufficient income has been
regularly derived from tract deficient
in area for ordinary farming. or where
the application of the prospective bor-
rover shows that he Is by experience
capable OF producing such an income
from such a tract. such area may be
accepted as sufficient. provided the
land has d stable and permanent mark
ct value sufficient to warrant the loan
applied for. This ruling does not apply
to fruit and orchard lands which have
already been the subject Of definite
rulings by this board"
Under the first paragraph OF this
ruling loans may be made to the ordi-
nary farmer on the basis Of average
skill and efficiency. and no tract OF
land will be accepted as a farm eligi-
BILE for loan under the Federal farm
loan act unless II Is large enough to
support the family and take care OF
the loan under the average farm con-
ditions Of the neighborhood.
But under the second paragraph OF
the ruling the intensive farmer or the
man who practices profitable special
Ity. or who shows himself able to do 80.
will be given financial support by the
Federal farm loan system. even though
his farm may be too small for ordf-
nary farming purposes, provided that
the land quite apart from its use has
a stable aud permanent land value
which will make the loan safe wheth-
er 1t is well operated or badly operat-
ted at all.

time: but there Is lots and lots OF
work 10 be done yet. before the lesson
has been impressed to an extent that
will yield the fullest results.
Most of the educational work along
this line has been done by and
through the newspapers and by public
speakers. and the campaign is still
being pushed by those factors.
There is not a newspaper worthy OF
the name in South Carolina that has
not done all it could 10 push this
work. All the newspapers appreciate
the tremendous consequences involved.
and there are not a few Of them that
would gladly make even the suprem-
cs, sacrifices If they could feel assured
that thereby the desired end--a thor
ough awakening Of IN" people-could
hc accomplished.
But the power of the newspapers
is limited. While they can thoroughly
awaken some OF the people. and parti-
ally awaken all Of them. il is obvi-
Gus that if the work is TO be completed
to Il point that Is really worth while.
the newspapers must have help.
Communications from Tom. Dick,
Harry. vox Populi. Miss Dolly. Pro
Bono Publico and others who like TO
get into the limclight without ex-
pcnse to themselves. carry very little
weight with the public. AS matter
Of fact such influence as they exert Is
negative rather than positive. The
tendency is 10 dctract from the OBJ
jcct aimed at rather than TO advance
that object. People who really do
things are not inclined TO take sug-
gcstions from people who hay" never
been known to do anything.
The very fact that an institution like
the Charleston Cotton Exchange Is
willing to spend thousands of dollars
of it's own good money to impress the
importance OF matter like food pro-
duction is calculated to make people
think. 1t is very well understood that
this institution Is not seeking cheap
notoricty. II is very well understood
that this organization is composed OF
level headed business men who have
done and are doing things. and VINO
realize that their own prosperity and
we'll being depend upon the prosperity
and we'll being Of the country. II is also
reasonable to assume that the men,
bcrs of this institution would not give
up their money in the PRONUNCIATION of
counsel and advice that is less inn
portant than their money.
The Charleston Cotton Exchange
realizes and appreciates that these be
times when the continued existence OF
this country is at stake, when farmers
may no longer have the option or
planting what they may desire TO
plant and when business people may
no longer continue to buy and sell ac-
curding TO their own free inclination.
Newspaper editors may advise and
exhort until their readers grow tired
and print the gratitious emanations
from Pro Bono Publjco and Miss Dolly
until subscribers get TO the point
where they decline to open the papers,
because of the nausea of seeing such
communications: but with all that
they will continue 10 bc impressed by
the serious communications for which
solid substantial business men pay
their good money to bring TO their at

The Great Issue in Wisconsin,;

The Great Issue in Wiseonsin.-
Vice President Thomas r. M rshall
opened his speaking campaign in be-
half Of Joseph z. Davies, Democratic
candidate for United States senator in
Wisconsin, at Madison, Wis, last
Tuesday night by appealing to Repub-
licans to cast their votes for Davies.
II come to Wisconsin to learn
whether 100000 Republicans will not
count the loss Of partisanship cheap
II thereby Wisconsin may be saved to
the Union" the vice president said.
mo Republican can come to the
senate from Wisconsin without a feel
ing on the part Of the imperial Ger
man government that that senator.
having changed his mind once. may,
by the shifting Of few hundred votes
In Wisconsin, be induced TO change II
again.
Your state Is under suspicion. You
Republicans have made the issue here
in Wisconsin. Your self-appointed
leaders are now trying to convince
the loyal half that the really import
ant thing Is not loyalty or disloyalty,
but party success.
Having purified the stream In the
primary you welcome the sewage to
help you over the election. I think
there are large numbers Of you who
will not want to rest under such
suspicion.
1T makes no difference how pure
and patriotic the purposes Of the Re.
publican candidate may be, to
elected he is now bidding for the vote
Of the German sympathizers, for the
vote Of the traitor. or the vote of the
sediuonist, for the vote Of the paci
fist, for the vote Of the disappointed
profiteer. BY these votes and these
votes alone can the Republican candi-
date hope to be elected, for Mr.. Davies
does not seek them and would, I be-
lieve. scorn to receive them. II is up
