URGED TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS.
Buy Until 1t Hurts, Then Some Moro
and Then Some.

Motor Truck Company, Camp Pike,
Ark, April 12.--Editor Keowee Cou-
rier: The drive is on our side of the
Atlantic! The third Liberty Bond
issue is now being sold! Are we
100 per cent Americans? If so, we
must either "go" across or come
across Buy Liberty Bonds until it
hurts then buy some more.
The soldier boys in Camp Pike
have bought bonds to a man in the
first call, and are buying most libe-
rally again. America is awake!
We who have offered up our lives
Tor our country must be backed up
to the fullest, and man who cannot
"slacker" otherwise, but show his pa
triotism in Il substantial way by buy
ing United States Government Lib
erty Bonds-the most supreme value
OF anything existing on earth to-day,
backed up by the grandest, most lib
eral and most humane democratic
government ever conceived by man.
When Liberty Bond ceases to be
good for it's face value, with interest,
then our government will have per-
ished from this earth and nothing we
own will possess any value whatso-
ever.
1t is question OF paying now or
have it collected at the point Of a
gun by the brutal arch murderers
now running rampant through the
sunny fields Of our first ally Of liber-
ty-France--and endeavoring to de-
str0y democracy
Many Of our boys have gone to the
front; more will follow; many will
never return, but democracy will tri-
umph in the end. Those amongst us
who have enjoyed the blessings Of
free America, whether born here Or
! not, whose parents fled to this glori-
! Gus country to escape the persecu-
tions Of the autocratic government
the most oppressive on earth-who
have gathered up competency and
lived in peace and plenty, have glo-
rious opportunity to show their graft
tude and their patriotism by buying
| Liberty Bonds; and refusal to buy
| is evidence sufficient TO condemn any
man as an enemy Of Free Americans
against us and our children
Which shall it be: Freedom or
! Slavery? Buy Liberty Bonds!

PLENTY-WHY SAVE 4?

We are asked the question why we
are "continually harping on the mat
ter Of saving Whcn we have plcnty?'
The question seems SO utterly foolish
that we hesitate to reply, yet If there
are those who cannot see either the
necessity or wisdom Of saving it may
be we'll to call attention more speciti-
cally tc certain points in the saving
Of food.
Take, for instance, 4 point to which
we but recently drew attention--thc
abolition OF serving refreshments at
club mt otings and social gatherings.
Take an organization Of, say, twenty
members Suppose sandwiches are
servec. The government urges with
all its powers the saving of wheat
products, We will suppose that for
the twenty guests or members there
would DE forty sandwiches served
two for each guest. We will suppose
that loaf Of bread will cut twenty
four slices; two slices to sandwich,
two san dwichcs to person. We see,
then, that 1t will take three and a
third loaves OF bread to serve the
member f. -and that means just that
much broad absolutely wasted, for
the occasion is "extra," reduces not

MITCHELL BARS BIC JOB TO ENLIST Ex-M Mayor Had Been Offered High Executive Position
 By Guggenheims.

New York, July 9.---When Mayor John Purroy Mitchell was defeated for reelection the Guggenheims, opera tors of the American Smelling and Refining Company properties, were anxious to obtain his services, as his municipal record had impressed them with his executive and organizing ability.
 A conference was arranged and Mr. Mitchell went to the Guggenheim of- fees at 120 Broadway, where the mat ter was discussed and a substantial offer made to him. He asked for time to consider. Soon he sent word that as mayor of this city he had been preaching preparedness, and that in his campaign for re-eleceion he had preached patriotism, so he felt he should offer his services to the gov ernment, much as he desired to ac- cept the proposal.
 A short time later he received his commission as a Major and left for California
 It was also learned yesterday that 8 similar offer had been made to him before he decided to accept the nom ipadon for reelection. Although at that time he thought he would not be reelected he yielded to the insistence of others, who thought it was his duty to run again, and turned down the

TO MAKE TEST CASE OF GOLAS
 EVICTION SUIT
Attorney Burton in His Argument Declares Issue
 is One of Patriotism.

Bridgeport landlords who raise their rents without cause are going to find themselves in serious difficulties, according to Attorney William E. Burton, in his presentation of an evic- ton case hearing before Justice Frederic E. Morgan. The case is that of Ignac Golas against Harold White, for eviction because payment of in- creased rental charges were refused, and the issue was made one of patri- ctisn, by Attorney Burton in his pre- sentation yesterday. He declared rent prof1teering in this city is direct aid to the German government, as it pre- vents munition makers from making their homes here, the high rents be- ing out of all proportion to their in- comes. The Golas case is only one of many and it is expected it will be made a test case, the precedence of police power over the constitution in time of war, being used at the dis cretion of the chief magistrates.
 Harold White and his wife live at PAT Beardsley street on the second floor of a three-story tenement house, and paid $16 a month rental. The rent was raised to S2O in March, and it was paid without protest, but May IT, when it was again raised to $25, MT. White sought the advice of coun- sel, and rendered $20,. claiming the requested amount to be exorbitant. The rental of the other tenants was also raised from $3 to $5 a month, and the few repairs made by the landlord were unnecessary besides out of a proportion to the increase.
 The case has been postponed until a certified copy of the governors proclamation has been received, and the filing of briefs by the attorneys has been done, the date set being Friday at 2 o'clock.
 At a meeting of the Charities Board yesterday afternoon, 1t was decided to use drastic measures with all rent increases brought to their attention. Several cases were reported where families would be obliged to apply to the board for aid, because of the greed of landlords. These will be taken up with the landlords, and if a satisfac. tory agreement is not reached the matter will be brought to the atten- ion of the governor.

SAY CARTWRIGHT
 IS HOLDING TOO
 MANY POSITIONS

At the meeting of the Board of Edu- cation held last evening much discus sion was brought forth, whether E. E, Cartwright is able to hold three posi- tions. He is at present assistant su- perintendent of schools. principal of the Normal school, and principal of Shelton school. It was asked by some members of the Board to in crease his salary to $3,500.
 These members claimed that he does so much work he is we'll worth this increase. Other members of the Board were opposed to this plan and claimed that man should not be given an increase in salary every time little more work is added to his responsibility.
 This discussion continued for quite a while and finally a vote was taken on the matter. Commissioners Chal- lenger, Tones, Webster and Godfrey voted to grant the increase, while Hurley, Schwerdtle, Burns and Bell opposed the plan. As the vote stood a tie President Ravens had to decide it and he voted in favor.
 The discussion did not end with the vote but certain members kept arguing throughout the meeting.
