Is Your Interest Patriotic?

Charleston.-"Invest Liverty Bonl
interest in War Savings stamps -
This is the request issued by the
South Carolina War Savings Commit
tee to government bondholders In this
state. This should also apply, tho
state committee declares. to reinvest-
mont OF all securities interest into
War Savings Stamps.
Thousands OF people own governt
bonds in small denominations and
draw a few dollars in interest every
six months" the committee says.
"Why not re-invest these coupons
again in War Savings Stamps? The
interest OF two or three dollars would
mean many thousands OF dollars to
the government. II this plan is fol-
lowed"

1t is a pity that there is not time
for more thorough trial of the new

that the building of concrete ships

SCISSORS AND PASTE.
Better Pay For Teachers.
Greenwood Journal.)

Some days since, the Daily Jour
nal had something to say about the
pay or teachers in general Since
then, We see that the teachers of
Greenwood county have had a meet
ing and petitioned for an increase in
their salaries. We do not think that
this should have been necessary for
them to have to ask for it. Every
one understands the situation, and
these teachers should have received
assurance before this that their paw
would be increased. The salaries OF
teachers in our schools have never
been what they should have been. II
is time that there should be a radical
change in this respect Indeed not
only have the salaries of teachers. in
general been out Of proportion too,
but this has been the case in our in
stitutions for higher education for
years. There are the fewest num-
ber of professors in our colleges who
are paid what they should be.
We hope that the salaries of
teachers in Greenwood city and coun.
ty, OF which there are ninety-nine,
will be raised. and not only the sal
aries of these teachers, but that the
day has dawned when teachers all
over the country will be paid better
salaries. There is no use in intering
into any argument on this subject.
1t is such a plain proposition as to
enable any one to see that it Is the
thing that should be done. The men
and women who have devoted their
lives to this work are not doing 1t
for monetary considerations. Were
this their object they would have
sought other occupations long since.

DSLOYATY.


The man who is not for the United
States In this war is against it. Dis
loyalists are not only obstructionists,
but those who do nothing. Idleness
In these perilous times is a crime
against the nation. The duty OF the
average citizen is now reduced to =
simple basis. 1t is not even open to
question that the president and those
of his associates who direct the war
machinery at Washington are able,
honest men and are doing all in hu-
man power to win the war against
Germany. IL they fail it is not ex-
aggeration to say that the American
nation will come to an end. 1t is
therefore. to all the people Of the
country, plain matter of life and
death. II America is to live, the war
must be won, and it is the plain duty
of every man. woman and child to DO
all in their power to help the admin
istration in Washington in the con-
duct of the war. We may have very
decided views on ordinary events. but
we should have none about the war.
We are for and with the president
and the nation without any question
and without argument. The men
who are blazing the path for this
nation to follow know what is best
and have no purpose except to win
the war. That should be the pur-
pose Of every human being who In
habits the nation. There is no room
under the Stars and Stripes for one
who is not willing to uphold that flag.
AS long as you live under the pro-
lection Of that flag. you have no right
to an opinion other than to win this
war.
This is no time for criticism Of the
government even though you dis
agree with the war policies. The best
brains OF the nation are promulgat-
ing them and it is doubtful If you
could do better. The soldiers in the
front line trenches. whose presence
there makes it possible for us to
remain at home. may disagree with
the orders received, but they are not
permitted to question their superior
officers nor to do anything except
obey orders. Why should we. here
at home, have more rights than they
have?
Every man possibly is entitled to
an opinion on ordinary events, but
even in ordinary times that privilege
is often mistaken for license. This
nation is now at war to finish--to
a successful finish and opinions of
individuals cannot change or better
conditions. Therefore it is best to
90 into the war heart and soul. 1t
is our war-your war and my war
because we are the nation.

HOW HE can HELP.

. The laboring man who is not in
position to buy Liberty bonds still
has a chance to help the government
in winning the war. The Columbia
State brings out the point in this
way:
Millions OF people in the United
states, hundreds of thousands in
South Carolina. will be unable to
purchase Liberty bond OF the value
Of $50 or 800. but this part OF the
population may have by the purchase
Of war savings stamps an avenue
through which they can do their
duty. Tens OF thousands of South
Carolinians are amply able to invest
50. SO or $40 in these small but
perfectly safe securities of the gov
ernment. If the great numbers of
poorer people, but people who are by
no means paupers. including hun
dreds OF thousands OF negroes, would
avail themselves OF the really for
tunate opportunity to place small
savings in the form OF security which
the government has provided for
their benefit, the aggregate OF their
contribution to the cause of their
country would be comparable to that
made by the wealthy classes and they
would deserve even greater praise.

Call for High School Graduate.

II would particularly urge upon
the young people who are leaving our
high schools that as many of them as
can do so, avail themselves this year
of the opportunities offered by the
colleges and technical schools to the
end that the country may not lack
an adequate supply of trained men
and women"
This significant statement came
from the lips of President Wilson a
few days ago. It maps out clearly
the course of duty of high school
graduates. The American college has
contributed so much to this great
war that it must not fail the gov
ernment now-but it will fail if our
high school graduates fail the college.
The call for trained men was never
so great. The new National Army is
commanded by 10000 college trained
men. The requirements for the Avia-
tion were two years in college or its
equivalent. 2l,OOO physicians have
been called for and only 5000 have
responded. Every chemist of note is
working on war problems.
High school graduates are not run
ming away from the war when they
go to college; they are moving to-
wards it in the most effective way.
Success or failure in this conflict will
ultimately depend upon our supply of
trained men. The call of American
colleges is call to service.

very infancy, in this district. AS
early as 1874, seven years before the
D. & R. G. railroad was built into
Crested Butte, Mr.. Mcdonald came
here as prospector, making many
trips over the hundreds of miles of
waste and mountains to bring sup
plies and material in from Denver

an "old timer" man whose reputa-
tion for honesty and sincerity was
appreciated all over the western slope
