How to Make the Extra Bonus

Some of you fellows who go up to the noun
tains on this trip are going to be better work
men than others. The farmers realize this, and
they want to play fair with you. The average
farm hand cuts Is to Is shocks of corn day.
Some of you men are going to do as well as
this-some of you not so we'll But to equalize
this situation, the farmers will pay you 35c per
shock extra for all over ten shocks of corn you
cut a day. For instance, if you cut fourteen
shocks of corn day you will get sl.4o bonus,
making in all S2.4O for your days work. Can
you ask for anything better than that?
Men will be used in squads of ten men each,
with trained farm hand at the head of each
squad. He will show you
the "tricks of the trade"
and make the work easier.

business leaders affected to confer with
him as to their needs forN1slS His plan

placed upon any Of the hundred or more
industries affected will vary according
To- the character Of the business and its
bearing upon the war program. The

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS.

A Treasury announcement provides that lib
erty bonds Of the first and second issues and
those obtained by converting bonds of the first
issue into per cent bonds can be converted in
to 4 IL per cent liberty bonds during the six
months period beginning May and ending
November 9, 1918 The new bonds will be dat
ed May 8, 1918.
After November 8, 1918, no further rights of
conversion will attach to the per cent bonds,
those obtained by conversion of bonds of the
first loan All of the 1-2 per cent bonds are
nonconvertible.
Bonds for conversion may be surrendered at
any Federal reserve bank or at the Treasury
Department. Registered bonds must be assign
ed to the Secretary of the Treasury for CONVEX
sion, but such assignment need not be wit
messed.
On conversion of registered bonds registered
bonds only will be delivered, neither change of

bonds must have the May Is or June Is, 1918,
coupons detached and all subsequent coupons
attached Coupon bonds issued from CONVEX
sion will have only four interest coupons at
tached, and later must be exchanged for new
bonds with the full number of coupons at
tached
Holders of bonds of the earlier issues will do
well to bear in mind these rulings.

UTILIZING EXPERT ADVICE.

The presence in the community of an expert
in Home Economics and Canning, in the person
Of Miss Margaret Hall, will be significant or in
significant according to the attitude which the
people entertain towards such expert assis-
lance. Miss Hall has come in the hope of be-
ing of some value in increasing food produc-
ton and food conservation in the community
through canning and drying of fruits and vege-
tables. 1t is, of course useless to waste time
and material if the products are to spoil
through the use of improper methods; and
Miss Hall offers advice as to the means of in
surfing satisfactory results.
This advice is at the command of the COM
munities according to the schedule published in
these columns yesterday We should say that
a regard for ones food safety during the COM
ing winter would counsel calling in Miss Hall
whenever there is the least doubt as to the
ways and means of canning or drying or in any
department of Home Economics.

DIR. KUEHLMANN'S IDEAS.

The meagre reports which have come through
from Berlin telling of the speech before the
reichstag on Monday by DR.. Richard Won Ku-
ehln-ann, German foreign minister, sketch an
address which lends itself more to rdcule than
to serious consideration. It so happens that
his phraseology is such as to permit Of dou-
Bile Interpretation, and perhaps Intentionally
so.
He remarks that Germany cannot bind her.
self to any pledges as regards Belgium-tO
which the world will readily say "Amen," and
add that Germany cannot properly bind her

thing as pledge in the German mind"

ONE INSTANCE.

On Monday evening there appeared, in ans
swer to a government summons, at the War
Savings meeting in the Court House a resident
Of the County whose efforts to fulfill his obi
cations in the present financial campaign con-
stitute model, it seems to us, Of patriotism
We need not even mention his name in order
to make the moral plain; the facts of his story
are all that need be told.
Harvest duties demanded that he spend as
much Of his time as possible in the harvest
field on Monday; and his situation was such that
it did not fall to his lot to ride binder. His
arms swung a cradle from early morning until
six o'clock when he was forced to quit in order
to get to Martinsburg in time for the meeting.
Nor did it fall to his lot to ride to town; he
walked distance of more than ten miles, to
this city after he had trudged around field all
Gay. He made no boast of it when he came to
town; ne saw it only in the light of duty, and
as such it did not permit of any evasion. He,
least Of all, we are sure, suspected that his act
had anything Of the heroic in it; but the very
simplicity Of his obedience makes his act all
the more significant
We understand that this gentleman will prob
ably not be able to invest in War Savings
Stamps to an extent which will startle the COM
nlunity; but we are certain that he will invest
to degree which will satisfy every demand of
patriotism. His attitude, as demonstrated
most conyincingly Monday night, shows pat
riotism which approaches as near to the IDEAL
as any that have come under our observation.
1t is this sort of self-denial and answering
obedience to the demands of the Government
which lends to our fighting forces the moral
hacking that is invincibe. Nothing short of
this brand of patriotism is worth the breath
which it takes to label it. Lip patriotism is
worse than treason; one can take care of the
traitor because one knows where he stands.
But the person whose support of the war is
only word deep, who is not willing to inconven-
ience himself and disarrange his personal plans
for the sake of the common veal is in no sense
q patriot.
The War Savings campaign calls for sys-
tematic effort on the part of the people to in
convenience themselves only to the extent of
eliminating those expenditures which are not
necessary from the standpoint of health, and
TO suspend the spending of money for commo-
dities whose unessential nature by necessity
creates a demand for labor where there is no
need for such labor. The demand is not for
sacrifice; the Government does not ask its cti-
zens to jeopardize their health and wel-being
by improper practices. 1t only asks for dis
elimination in ones use of money which agrees
with the demands Of the times.

1 University April 11.-(Special) )-The University of Alabama applied a 1fb-
 eral coat of whitewash to the Howard Baptists yesterday afternoon. the final count being 9 to 0. The day was ideal | for football, but the few shivering spec tators that braved the wind to see the game voted it one of the worst base ball days that has ever been experi- enced in April.
 The Howard boys were unable to hit l or field and the Alabama machine worked like well-oi1ed clockwork, the no errors made by Howard accounting largely for the size of the score. Ala bama made two runs in the first stanza and her lead was never threatened. | Big Boone piched a nice game for

 catches that had the spectators on | their feet all the time. Stevenson looks 1 like the best bet for an all-southern berth that has been seen here in a long time. Lena Stiles, behind the bat, was good as ever. Joe Sewel1 was back at second after an absence caused by sore arm and played the game that won 1 him a home at Alabama last year.
