MAXIM, Up IN WEIGHT

Waynesboro, Pa, Jan. 22.-John
5, Long, says that while he is not
getting the quantity of eggs from
his large flock of dickens he should,
he is securing quality. On Saturday
one OF his white Leghorn pullets
laid an egg which measures four
inches in length and weighed over
one-quarter of pound.

From The Daily lem, Eeb. %.
1t was Caesar who sent the famous
message, thrasonical and laconic,
came, l saw, l conquered" 1t is not
necessary that DR.. Skies should make
The same statement; for there are
many to make it for him. DR.. Skies
has Lecn in Sumter frequently and
each time that he comes he gets u
stronger hold upon our citizens
This morning he made a memor-
able address at the Boys High School,
on England oar Comrade. He he'd
the undivided attention OF his whole
audience for over an hour ard in
that audience there were many young
boys. He gave the whole audience
a new conception of Americas debt
OF gratitude to England. 1t was a
wonderful exposition of the truth; but
the truth that has long been clouded
by arrogance, ignorance, and unwar-
ranted prejudice.
This address is so striking and SO
true that DIR. Skies has been induced
by his many friends and admirers to-
issue it as q bulletin of CoSer Col
lege. This will be a genuine contr.-
button to history and literature.
At noon DR.. Skies gave just as
striking an address on Washington,
in which he demonstrated beyond
question that he is really the first in
war. first in peace, and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen. There was
not a single member of his large Hu-
dienco whose heart did not thrill with
the pride OF belonging to a race and
country great enough to rear KAN
like Washington.
Washington's birthday Will long
be a red-lctter day in the memories
0 fthe girls and boys of the Sumter
High School and they will think all
ways with appreciation and gratitude
of the distinguished president or
Coker College, DIR. Z. w. Skies.

With the American Army in
France, Feb. 24-(By the Associated
Press. LAST night and today the
German bomOardment on various
points within the American lines
northwest OF Toul was considerably
more intense than usual. Today the
enemy, who was more active in many
ways, apparently was using still more
guns than customary.
Little damage has been done by the
bombardment, although three mon
were slightly wounded early this
morning.
Last night enemy patrols made per-
sistent efforts to penetrate the Ameri-
can wire defenses, but without sue
cess. One patrol was fired upon and
driven off while wire-cutting, prob
ably preparatory to a contemplated
raid
Large troop movements are going
on back Of the enemy's lines during
the night.
There was no aerial activity today
owing to weather conditions.

ury McAdoo in announcing the
loan, and it seems peculiarly apprc-
pirate to inaugurate a nationwide
financial drive upon the anniversary
of our entrance upon this war for
the honor and rights of America
and the freedom Of the world
The amount, terms and condi-
tions of the new loan are dependent
upon Congressional legislation in
the interim. IT IS planned to con,
centrate the drlYe into a period Of
three or four weeks and TO make a
feature of patriotic paraces and

CHAIRMEN TO BE ELECTED
FOR THREE YEAR TERM.
County Board Adopted Resolution Pro.
viding Three Year Term for Mem
bers of Board of Supervisors.

An adjourned annual meeting of
the county board of supervisors
was held Monday, at which meet
ing a resolution was passed provid-
ing that chairmen of the various
towns in the county, the village of
Hamilton and the supervisors in
the six wards in the city of Hurley
to be chosen at the election on Ap-
ril be elected for term of three
years. This action of the county
board was in accordance with law
passed at the 1917 session of the
state legislature giving county
boards of supervisors power to ex-
tend the term of Office of members
of the board if they saw fit. Fol-
lowing is the text of the resolu-

made with H. J. Stone, of Mani
towish, to do the job for the sum
of 50, 3,250.00. Chas. Harper, of
Mercer, submitted bid of S., 900
for the work. The filing of this
sink hole is going to be tick
lish piece of road work, and it is
question whether it can be fixed so
as to stand traffic and hold up for
any length of time. The hole is
of considerable depth and width
and furnishes quite a problem in
road making. 1t is planned to
drive piling, the piling to be bound
together with wire cable and thus
furnish a base for the filling in ma
terial.
The board also designated the
Saxon State Bank as a depository

Don't Give Up Your Bond.

Not only should Liberty bonds
be boarded for reasons of patriot

more one of these days than they

causes higher prices, says the De.

der; yet the moment a merchant
receives them in trade, they be-
come currency just as much as if a
$50 or SIoO bill had been used, as
the case may be. If that practice
becomes general it means that the
money of the country is increased
to the amount of the bonds placed
i'll circulation. 1t is just as if the
government printed and issued a
large amount of paper currency, as
it did in the civil war, and the re-
suit is the same-a gradual increase
in prices. The Liberty bond has
been a great and good thing for the
United States. But the people must
not misuse it. Put away in safe
place, it will earn interest for the
owner and remain safe investment
Placed in the national circulation.
it will become a menace to the
soundness of the financial system.
To buy Liberty bond is the first
duty of patriotism; to keep it is
the sum of all the rest of the du-
lies.
