SHOULD DO BETTER.

South Carolina is at the bottom OF
the list in the matter of per capita
sales of War Savings stamps, accord
ing to statement showing total and
per capita sales by states to the end
of February. South Carolina over
subscribed it's allotment of Liberty
bonds. and the fact that it has fall
len behind in War Savings stamps is
attributable, in large measure, to
lack of realization of the Importance
of the little stamps. True it is that
the 25-cent thrift stamp is a very
small matter, and, individually, a
25-cent loan can help the govern
ment but little. 1t is likewise true
that the thrift stamp leads up to the
War Savings stamp, the value of
which now is $4.13, and the War
Savings stamp to a Liberty bond, or
its equivalent in stamps. Then too,
even on the basis of the 25-cent
stamp, wipe out the individuality,
let every one buy only few stamps,
and you have a neat little sum that
would be of considerable benefit to
the government.
In the total sales, only Nevada
shows less than South Carolina,
though Nevada's per capita sales are
nearly eight times as large as that Of
this state. In Louisiana, it is said,
the children Of the public schools
have bought and sold $4,000
worth of stamps, while all the peo-
pie of South Carolina have invested
only s19O,S69.2O in this form of
securities.
1t may be said in explanation of
the situation in this state, so far as
this section is concerned, that there
has been little enthusiasm in the
matter of selling War Savings
stamps. And by reason OF that fact,
the people have not come to a full
that the government is
appealing to every one alike for
small loans, both Ito raise money to
build ships to win the war" and to

Pile 1t is an investment, not eX-
pense, and the money loaned to the

Americans have been in the fight

French officers for their conduct in

GERMAN ATROCITIES.

William Nj. Lewis, of the United
States treasury department, who also
is widely-known writer and lectur-
er, speaking in Columbia Wednesday
in the interest of the third Liberty
loan. pointed glowing picture of
what may be expected If the Germans
win. He told of the atrocities of the
Germans in Turkey, in Italy and in
Belgium. Don't say to yourselves
that these things are too horrible to
think about, but say they are the
truth and God helping us. will do
everything in my power so that they
may never be repeated in the United
States" That's motto" a
slogan" that ought to be pinned in
the hat of every American citizen.
III it would help matters not to be-
lieve the truth, we might refuse to
believe it, but it makes matters
worse. The Germans are guilty Of
the most atrocious crimes against
humanity, but not too horrible to
think about because it is the truth.
Mr.. Lewis says:
I'VE have heard of men going
along the streets Of Warsaw and
scraping the snow from mounds to
find beneath them the bodies of lit
tie children-Germany is in control
there. A school teacher in Turkey
tells us that the number of hands cut
from children would have paved the
road along which they lay-Germany
is in control there. In the recent
Italian advance, Germany forced
Italian women and children to
before German regiments as
a screen. In Belgium women have !
been outraged before the eyes OF :
their husbands and fathers and then !
these husbands and fathers have
been marched off into slavery. Don't ,
say to yourselves that these things ,
are too horrible to think about. but :
say they are the truth and God (
helping us, will do everything in |
my power so that they may never be !
repeated in the United States" Ger
many must be beaten where she |
stands"
Germany must be beaten where !
she stands" And until then every !
resource, every means, every ounce
of energy of every American citizen !
must be put into this war. There
must be no let-up, there must be no
either in actual fighting
or backing up those who are doing |
the fighting.

ASHES OF HOPE.

We sat by the light of the glowing
Goals,
In the chill October cleaning:
The world forgetting, by it forgot,
Our thoughts and our fancies hom-
ing.
The world was our own for blissful
hour.
An hour OF delicious dreaming:
Our hearts expressed truly in silence
or speech,
What each of us knew was no
seeming.
Her face was suffered by the freight
glow,
And tenderness shone in her
eyes
And softer the tone OF her rhythmi-
cal voice.
With just a suggestion OF sghs.
Then into the darkness and storm
went.
Away from her presence and light,
The Pickering frelight fading fast,
AS the cleaning deepened to
night.
Now dull, dead and gray are the en-
bers,
And haunted and lonely the place
For JOY died too with the dying
Goals
And the sight of her vanished face
Gray ashes of hopes in my heart re-
main.
The light of their Joy gone out.
My hour of dear dreams is mem
ory now,
And grim shadows hover about.

Prosperity and PayrOIls

Evidence in plenty is available that
prosperity goes hand in hand with
payrolls.
Wherever q goodly number Of peo-
pie are steadily employed Mt good
wage, there you win find a prosper
ous community.
The payroll dollar comes back in
to circulation quickly and moves from
one business to another one profess
sion to another and as It moves It
stimulates each and every one.
Oregon's payrolls are now greater
than ever known. They are growing
greater every day.
The shipyards and kindred indus
tries are spreading millions OF dol
lars into the hands of thousands Of
workers.
The workers pass It along through
all the avenues OF business and the
country is now what we call 'pros-
perous."
This wonderful example OF the bon
gift OF payroIIs should not be without
its moral.

denly cease? What would become 81
