pulled. There was only a hole where
the stump had been and the rotted
wood was scattered around on the
grass and we felt pretty good about it
because nobody wants old stumps
sticking UP in their yards. Swatty
said maybe my father would give mo
quarter for pulling the stump and
thought maybe he would too. We all
felt MS IL we had done something
pretty hne and were proud of 1t and I
wished could so and get my mother
and have her come out to see what
good our capstan was and have her
say: "Why, that's fine. George! I'll

bered that my mother would proba-

Just then my grandmother came out

"Come on. we want to show you what

plate of crackers and with the other

cause our lot wasn't very smooth and
she didn't walk very steady or very
fast. We came to where the capstan
was and she steadied herself with one
hand on 1t.

Well. we got to lighting about who
would drive the team of oxen and
who would ride on the tree and We
forgot all about being ashamed of
pulling UP the stump. We took a

pasture. but when we saw how big

OF a tree than that old rotten stump
was. 1t was willow tree. We got
up the roots Of an elm tree. Swatty
said a willow tree didn't need any
roots.
The COW didn't like pulling a tree
very WELL but she got used to 1t be-
fore we got home. only we couldn't
ride on such a little tree. We had
to take turns being the OK driver.

Not because the old stump was any
good, but because my grandmother was
so old and seemed to think so much Of
the old stump. She let her head droop
down.
Swatty and me and Bony just stood
and didn't know what to say. We
wished she had scolded US or something
instead Of feeling that way.
So then she turned and walked away

DON'T FORGET w. S. S.

Just because every one is stirred
up over the elections is no reason
why any person should forget to re-
deem his or her war savings pledges.
There appears to be something which
has caused the people of South Caro-
lima to forget the solemn pledges
they made during the June W. S. S.
campaign, because the sales of War
Savings Stamps reported so far for
August fall far short of the July and
June sales. This indicates that not
only are the pledges not being re-
deemed by all who made them, but
that those who were not reached in
the June pledge campaign are not
purchasing their share of w. SIS.
There are now left but a few days
after November 9th, 1918, even if
may be redeemed; furthermore,
there are left but a few days during
which War Savings Stamps may be
purchased at the present price of
