The man with lots ofscuriosity stared at the
little cash register in the corner drug store. His
curiosity was aroused by the tiny paper service
flag pasted on the front and boastng pair of blue
stars.
Finally he addressed the druggist. "You ARE
in hard luck to have lost two of your cashiers to
the army. What branch are they in?'
1.-TWO cashiers? Army? Whaddye mean?"
Those two service stars on your cash register
don't they stand for two clerks gone to war? y
"Oh. Ha! Clerks in the army nothing Those
two service stars stand for my two $500 Liberty
Bonds that came out of that little old cash regis
ter and Joined Uncle Sans Treasury Department!
Some idea, Ell. Yes, and there's going to be a lot
more stars in that flag before quit"
Some idea, indeed! Send your surplus dollars to
war if you can't send son. If you HAVE sent
son send all the more dollars after him to be
sure he's we'll fed and clothed.
If you can't have service flag in your window.
it's your duty as an American to put service stars
on your cash register and your bank book wher-
ever they will stick!

THEIR MASTERS VOICE

Several state papers are advocating that it is
right to continue teaching German in the public
schools. These papers, however are non-partisan
league papers, The state council of defense won't
let US call these fellows pro-German so will let
you Judge for yourselves what they are. In our
opinion no language but the United States should
be- taught in our public schools. This is the United
States not Germany, Norway, Sweden or any other
country and our language is good enough for
body.-Valley City Times Record.

WITH THE EDITORS
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Gazette-News of Park River, says that the
Non-Partisan League is misrepresented when it is
claimed that the intention of the league is to own
everything including far.l lands and machinery.
However the national platform of the league en-
bodies such plank and it would be no more un-
fair for the state to take over farm property than
it would to take other property as proposed in the
socalistic platform.-The Grafton News.

ports to the department of justice
of mob attacks upon Germans and
disloyal Americans have increased

Officials pointed to this situation
TODAY as evidence of the urgent
need of new legislation to permit
the government to deal drastically
with disloyal u%tterances and actions
They said the patience of the Am
erican people with disloyalty was
becoming exhausted and that a wave
of bitter feeling might be expected
to follow reports of casualties
among the American soldiers.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE
King James Version is the Tie That
Binds. Difference to the English
and American.-Bran Whitlock.

There are times, there are certain
moments in life, when the old pray
ers, the old hymns, suddenly &C
quire a new meaning and afford "a
consolation that no other words can
give. What floods of memory out
of far-off youth, out of that far-otf
land! The mentality of our race
is formed, our very being saturated
with the literature of the King
James version of the English Bible,
with the prayer book, and with
Shakespeare. The intellectual pro-
cesses and the mode of instructive
thought and impressions of thous-
ands who could not cite you a line
out of any of them are all due to
those three collections out of the
golden age of English literature.
It is that that singles out our race
from all others and makes US dif-

.ferent. The French have Moliere
and Racine in place Of Shakespeare
but in the effect on their mentality,
instead of the King James version
they have-the fables OF La Fon-
tame. And that morning, when the
world was falling asunder all about
them, it was this great common
heritage that drew the English and
the Americans in that congregation
somehow together; so that as we
came out Of the church into the
narrow little Rue de S~tassart, and
Sir Francis's motor rolled up flying
a little British flag, and Sir Fran
els entered his limousine5 the men
of the congregation uncovered as
he entered and drove away, and as
the car came up flying the American
flag the E~nglishmen uncovered
again. =.

INTOLERANCE"

Opera House, Friday, April 18th.
Those fearsome great wheeled
contrivances with death dealing
blasts of flame which are made use
of in "I~ntolerance" the Griffith
spectacle which comes to the Opera
House for an engagement of two
shows commencing. Friday, April
18th, may be regarded as forer1in-
ners of the so-called "tank" now in
use by the Allies.
MI. Griffith delved into history
and consulted many authorities so
that the implements of warfare used
in both the French and Babylonian
scenes would be archeologically
correct. The armor worn by the
warriors of Belshazzar and Cyrus
is of metal, gold-plated, and the
tremendous swords welded by those
who are foremost in the fight re-
quire Herculean strength. The
manipulators of bow and arrow
were trained as archers and each
bow and arrow is a duplicate OF a
weapon of the same sort used in
the original contest between Cyrus
and Belshazzar. The great towers
that are pushed against the walls OF
Babylon are exact reproductions OF
the fighting towers of the ancients.
In the Middle Ages story are utll-
lied the weapons that We're appro-
priate to that time. These were
copied from originals and from mo-
dals in the British museum and IN
the museums of France. The ale
eorv near the close of the spectacle
shows armament and munitions OF
todav. Soldiers in the clash of bat
tie are represented and overhead
NAV be seen war planes guided by
skillful a%viators.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

AS the movement for the sale of
War Savings Stamps begins to take
shape it is as we'll to remind the
people that everyone owes a duty
to the government to bear his part
in financing the war. The govern
ment has offered liberty bonds for
sale in as small denominations as
fifty dollars, but there are many
people who have not had the money
to buy a bond in even this small
amount. These pepole, however,
many of them, have an interest In
the welfare of the government, and
desire to do something to help the
cause.
In order to give the humblest citi-
ger a chance the Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps have been
put on sale. You may invest as
little as twenty-five cents in a Thrift
Stamp. When you do this the gov
eminent gives you a card on which
you may place the. stamp for safe
keeping. When you have bought
another, it is placed on this card
and so on, until you have sixteen
stamps, or four dollars worth. You
then take this card, with the six
teen stamps on it, to the postmas-
ter or to a bank and exchange them
for a War Savings Stamp. You will
be required to pay from fifteen to
twenty-three cents difference, ac-
cording to the month in which the
exchange is made, but the War Saw
ings Stamp is worth five dollars on
January first, 1923, which amount
represents the amount of your in
vestment with interest at four per
cent. ~
TIE government in this way
while securing money with which to
prosecute the war, is operating a
savings bank for the benefit Of the
people of the country, without cost
to them, and is : investing, as it
were, their money, and guarantee
ing them a fixed income payable at
the end of the time, It is an OPP
portunity which comes to everyone
to learn habits of thrift and saw
ing, in addition to helping the gov
eminent under which we live. Most
men who make money begin with
small savings. No amount is too
small to make a beginning. Act to-
day. y,

THE FARMERS AND THE LOAN

Inc wealth. Oh OouLl Cdloliiio
consists in the main of farms and
the farmers have been amazingly
prosperous since 1914. Last year
the Weld of cotton to the acre IN
| South Carolina was estimated at
281 pounds as compared with 194.5
pounds for all the cotton States.
The cotton was produced for about
a cent and a half a pound less than
the average cost of production, the
tobacco crop was excellent and the
price remarkably high and the
truck farmers in most cases made
immense profits. The increase in
the cost of living to the farmers
was, of course, relatively small as
compared with that of the workers
of the cities who had to buy their
own fuel and food at the higher
prices.
This unprecedented prosperity of
the farmers has been due to the
war and the war activities of the
government. The demand for ev-
cry commodity produced on the land
has been extraordinary. War is
waged by the United States to keep
the ocean highways safe for travel
and trade. Had the United States
submitted to Germany's order that
the seas be closed, a great surplus
of cotton would be without a mar
ket and the prices of all u staple
crops would be below the cost OF
production. Southern farmers would
at this time be facing bankruptcy
had the United States gone out Of
business, in compliance with the
German kaiser's will.
The third issue Of Liberty Bonds
will be placed on the market next
Saturday. In the long run the coun-
try's credit can be supported only
by the country's wealth. South
Cardinals wealth consists in the
main Of farm products and manu-
factories. The manufactures al
ready have invested freely in the
first two government loans. The
cities and towns, their merchants,
business men and professional men
and their banks have done their
part handsomely. There is a limit
to what they can do. What have the
farmers and land owners done?
Have they flung their assets upon
the scales to support a war which
their government is waging more
for their benefit and protection than
for any other class of people?
A correspondent of The State,
Mr.. Solomons, observes in a letter
printed this morning that the new
Liberty Bond campaign should be
taken directly to the farmers. If
they have not bought bonds literally
heretofore, the explanation is that
their privilege and duty have not
been brought Immediately in their
attention. They are not in touch
with business affairs as the mercan.
tile classes are. Their dwellings
are scattered over wide areas. They
are not easily approached in masses.
Reasons are abundant to believe
that they are not less willing than
other men to do their full part.
Measures should be taken at once
to enlist the farming communities
as lenders to their country in its
emergency.-The State.
