In an article on the need of
greater conservation of food pro-
ducts for the winning of the war,
Harriet Russell says, in The Houston
(Texas) Post:
Trivial, indeed, Is our sacrifice
compared with the sacrifices Of the
men in service.
"In Texas we are trying to meas
ure up to fine and splendid stand
ard Of faithful, loyal, genuine patri-
otism.
I'VE wish ours to be a patriotism
that is active-not patriotism Of
words.
Our conscience Is clear.
Owe can look troubled, harassed
old Uncle Sam in the face and say to
him: We're with you-well stay
with you"
And that's the only way to look at
it-"We're with you--well stay
with YOU"
Man, woman and child--as far as
help may be given-we're in the war
to win 1t! 1t Is as If we vera one
great family Of workers, and Uncle
Sam the head Of the family.
So the true patriotic spirit is sum-
med up in the pledge to give all that
the country asks; and the country Is
not going to ask too much.
1t could not-of loyal spirit of
devotion.
AS one patriot expressed it--recog-
nizing no limit to helpfulness-
Take all the wheat, If you need all,
and take what you want Of the corn
fields, too. We can live on little, in
order to help big!"
And, with the right spirit, and the
loyal work, there'il be plenty to go
around!

Editor Keowee Courier: I am
sending letter for publication which
was written to my father Sc years

The Letter.
Fo'J WV - l0OI.
Mr.. Wright: Dear Sir would
nave written you about your son, J.
II. Wright, before this, but really
there was no way of getting letters
to the malls and no convenieces for
writing. Even now I cannot find any
paper or stamp in Winchester, which
you will overlook in this case.
Your son was slightly wounded in
thigh at Maryland Heights, but he
was too brave to stop for a slight.
wound, although told him it might
make him worse, and not to attempt
10 follow the regiment. He said he
wanted to be with the company When
eyer he was possibly able, and went
into the fight with us at Sharpsburg,
Nd, where he received q wound in a
dreadful charge we made on q bat
terry, and fell. We were ordered to
fall back and had to leave all the
wounded that couldn't make away,
SO he was left with the enemy that
day and night; and the next day
which was devoted to caring for the
wounded and burying the dead, we
exchanged wounded and dead with
the enemy, and obtained Joe by night.
l didn't see him, but our ambulance
corps, who care for the wounded, told
me he was wounded in the side, or
properly, groin, and that they didn't
think his wound serious, though Sc
we're.
That night our army crossed the
Potomac into Virginia, and had to
leave many Of our wounded, who
fell into the hands of the enemy, so
Joe, brave, gallant fellow, was made
prleoner again. l have no doubt but
that he Is we'll cared for by the enc
my. and from what the ambulance
corps told me, I don't think his
wound at all fatal. He is too brave
q boy to lose. We can't do without
him. He must get well, My dear
sir. you may be proud Of such a son,
and I congratulate you on the GAL
lantry Of all your sons. They have
proved themselves men and soldiers
worthy of our great cause.
1t is unfortunate that they should
all get wounded, but hope kind
Providence will restore them again
to their country's service. Accept my
sympathy. Truly yours,

Editor Keowee Courier: 1t has
been said that the living should deal
tenderly with the dead. l have Of
ten said, and now say, that l dislike
to see Confederate soldier covered
up in the earth without some re-
marks, upon whom the Lord God
Almighty laid the sword Of His eter-
nal knighthood.
When the tocsin Of war first sound
ed In the sixties H. l.. Brandt was
among the first to lay his all upon
the altar Of his adopted Southland!
In the very bud and flower Of his
young manhood he volunteered In
Company G, Orr's Regiment Of Rifles,
McGowan's Brigade, and followed his
mighty chieftain from Manassas to
Appomattox, breasting the bullet
showers of many q bloody field Of
battle. He was one Of the number
who imprinted on the cold, pittiless
stones, at the Seven Days Battle Be-
fore Richmond, in letters of blood,
his chlvalry and his courage; where
he was severely wounded in the
right hip. That bullet-scar went
with him through life, which was a
letter Of nobility. Since the war he
had been closely identified with the
people of Walhalla.
From early manhood he had been
member Of the Lutheran church,
and stood for his church and loved
her doctrines.
His devotion to his family was
beautiful, and his love and respect
for his friends were sincere. For a
man to live we'll and die we'll, and
leave the wealth of an untarnished
name to his family is grand con-
summation. May his mantle fall
upon some one who will as worthily
wear it. IIe stood as prince for
honor, purity, virtue and civil law.
He came to his grave at good old
age; like shock Of corn cometh in,
IN Its season; and he met his Pilot
face to face at the crossing.
He faced the battles Of life brave
ly. and on account of his consecrated
life he was able to say with Paul, "I
have fought good fight, I have kept
the faith"
His life was an alphabet on high
plane in action, words and deeds.
His thoughts pure, his words chaste,
his dealings with his fellow-men
were on the level by the square.
His mortal body now sleeps in it's
little, low tent, whose curtains never
backward swing, and all the soft,
whispering winds will chant their
requiem, and the cedar and the pine
will sing lullaby over his sleeping
dust until the trumpet shall sound in
that morning.
beg to mingle my sympathy with
the immediate family and fond
friends, and lay this bouquet Of
flowers upon the grave of my friend.
May they be kept there by the mighty
powers Of gravitation, and may the
happy vision that so charmed and
delighted the sweet singer of Israel
rest as benediction upon the men,
ory of H. L. Brandt forever.
Bright summers sun, shine gently
here;
Soft Southern winds, blow lightly
here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light;
Good night, my friend, good night;
- good night!

C0UNTY'S SHARE IN
NEXT LOAN 100000
NEW ISSUE, NON-CONVERTIBL
TO BEAR li4 PER CENT IN
TEREST, M'ADOO SAYS.

Ofhclai announcement was made
this week that the third liberty loan,
to open April 6, will be for $4,000
100000 and all oversubscriptions, at
"A per cent interest. This will make
Thurston county's minimum quota
100000.
Bonds of the first loan, bearing "
per cent interest, and of the second
loan at per cent, may be converted
into the new bonds, but those of the
third loan will not be convertible into
any future issue.
The announcement was made by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
with the comment that 1.-The great
events now happening in France must
fire the soul of every American with
new determination to furnish all
the dollars and all the material re-
sources of America that are needed
to put an end to the execrable afro
cities of German militarism."
Dispatches say that most finan-
cial observers were surprised at the
comparatively small size of the loan
0Hu dt luO SAlCl COZ ldlOS OOtA Vi
which they had expected to be
higher. Reduction of government
expenditures and allied loans below
the former estimate is responsible
for the loans size, Secretary Nc
Adoo explained. He said the bonds
were made nonconvertible to put an
end to expectations of higher in
terest rate in the future loans.
In connection with the loan, the
secretary plans to establish a sink
ing fund with which to purchase
back any bonds of the third loan
thrown upon the market, in order to
aid in keeping the price up to par.
The maturity of the bonds is yet to
be determined, but it was officially
stated that they would be long term,
probably between 20 and 80 years
