Celebrate
July Fourth

AS will be seen by the big adver
tise1Dent on the inside pages, Ben
son is going to have a Fourth of
July celebration. That was deter
mined at the meeting held last
week when it seemed to be the
general opinion of the representa-
tive citizens present. that notwith-
standing war activities, a patriotic
celebration Of the nation S birth
day would be fitting and proper.
Benson peoele have done we'll in
every movement connected with
war work, and is fairly entitled to
a celebration to break the monoto-
ny. It may help sustain Our NOR
ale and put renewed determination
into our minds and hearts to do
our part in seeing the great con-
test through to a rightful termi-
nation
At the meeting Mr.. w. T. Robie
was appointed chairman of ar
rangements, with power to appoint
committees and go ahead with the
promotion Of the celebration. He
has appointed as his assistants
Messrs. Chas. +. Goetz and L. H.
Williams, good appointments for
a successful outcome.
Committees are being selected
and taking definite shape, further
mention of which will be made
next week.

Save Your Liberty Bonds

l earnestly hope that every one
who has bought Liberty Bonds will
try to keep them for the period Of
the war at least. If each and
every purchaser keeps his Liberty
Bond he helps to protect the credit
of the Government by maintaining
the market for the bonds at par,
which is a very helpful thing III
war times, and lie also renders a
more essential service to our sol
diers and sailors in the field by
practicing those economies and saw
ing5 which release industries and
labor necessary to the support, If
not the very life Of Our Army and

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought
of it, but this disorder is due to a
lack of molster in the residual mat
ter Of the food. If you will drink
all abundance of water, eat raw
fruits and take lots of outdoor ex
ercise, you may be able eventually
to overcome it entirely In the
meantime use the most mild gentle
1axatives. Strong and harsh cath
critics take too much water out of
the system and makes a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain S Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them a
trial.

The potato crop of Houston and
Wharton counties, Texas, has been
saved through the aid of business
men in local towns. When it was
realized that the potato crop would
be lost unless the farmers received
help, the State extension director,
cooperating with the farm help spe-
cialist of the Department Of Agri
culture, exclaimed the situation to
the business men, who closed their
Offices and stores, went to the farms
and worked with the potato grow
ers III harvesting their crops. Such
cooperation is meaning much not
ouly for the increasing Of the food
suppy of the Nation but is break
ing down the barrier that in many
cases has existed between town and
country, according to the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture. Business
men and farmers are working hand
in hand to secure an adequate food
supply and to further the Nation S
great cause. Other COMMITTEES are
planning to follow the example set
in these Texas countries.

It has come to Our ears that there
has been a lot of criticism directed
at the Benson Signal because we
have not printed names of subscrib-
ers to the last Red Cross drive and
the amount subscribed. In the first
place we are not equipped IN Our
small shop to handle a job of this
size, wonld have to send out of
town Cat quite at expense) to have
this work set up on a Linotype. In
the second place those who are
making the 1oudest howl are people
who have on right to criticise us,
as they do not patronize the Signal
If they want to read a paper they
buy one from out town, and if they
want Job work done they send to a
Mail Order house for it, and they
don't believe III advertising because
it costs money, but if there is a
chance for little notoriety, a
chance for a little free advertising
they make an awful howl if their
naem does not appear in the paper.
This criticism does not come from
the Red Cross but from a few in
dividua1s. The columns of the
Benson Signal are open and free at
all times to the Red Cross and we
take pleasure in printing anything
that will benefit them.
AS we understand it we are not
supposed to give to the Red Cross
for the notoriety we get out of it,
but because it is the most worthy
organization in existence. Guy
r. Kins1ey Director Of Publicity OF
the Red Cross at San Francisco, il
letter to the Signal says l believe
it may fairly be said that no line OF
business in the United States has
given more Of it's stock in trade
toward WIN-THE- War-ACTIVI
TIES than have the newspapers.
But when we print a half column
for the benefit Of the Red Cross VIZ
don't print a column telling th'
people what we have done

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed

People are often very much dis
appointed to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Dis
eases like pain in the stomach and
bowels, collie and diarrhoea require
prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or
physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at. hand a bottle of
Chamberlain S -Co1ic and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can pre-
scribe a better medicine for these
diseases. BY having it in the house
you escape much pain and,sufering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may
save life.

The Pomerene boys and girls
Liberty club under the leadership
of Mrs. ] +. I. Proff1tt reports a very
successful club festival day. Over
$40 was raised and devoted to the
local Red Coss.
Mrs. Proffitt has also succeeded
in getting the sale of Thrift Stamps
started The plan used was very
unique one. She has 54 members
in her Liberty club, the first step
was the enteing Of names on the
Victory rolf. For each member
this step cost. but a penny which
also counted as initial payment to-
wards a Thrift Stamp. The idea
is to see who can buy the most
stamps within a given length Of
time; each member pledging him
self to place at least a penny to his
credit every week, and stay with it
until sufficient amount has been
turned in to buy a Thrift Stamp.
The whole idea was to get Thrift
Stamp plan under way and in this
it has succeeded admirably for it
started off with the sale of 8 Thrift
Stamps, The grown-ups have be
come interested and are also invest
ing in stamps.

HIGHEST TYPE OF CITIZEN
He Is the Man Who Sees Tendency Of
the Times and Helps Direct
-, " 1t Correctly.

Who is he? A person who keeps his
eyes open and knows what Is going
on, and who asserts a conviction from
what he sees. One may think it is very
difficult, considering the completely
and multiplicity of events, to possess
oneself of d governing truth from the
driftwood Of the rapidly passing
stream of things. But that Is not
what he has to do. If person has
to wait for every little particular he
will never reach q judgment or belief.
You can see such people in commu.
nifty, mere peckers of bird seed, full
of vupid talk and controversy. They
are no more agents Of truth than Old
Nick Is. a 49,. So
n You don't have to inspect each par
ticular straw to see what haystack
is. You can look at it, see Its form,
understand its purpose, and know all
there is in a haystack to know. So in
life, the small facts are endless and
shed no light. ..
u One must turn from them to the tens
dency or policy and make up his mind
from that. Such discovery is easier
than a single fact. One cannot make
up ones mind from little things, for
they are endless, one suggesting an
ether infinitely. SO a general view
that expresses tendency provides the
opportunity for conviction.
The civic duty. then, is t. get &C.
Quainted with the tendency Of meas
ure of policy, the influence 1t has on
other things and how it affects the
habits Of a community. This constant
lowering about particulars never con-
structs q real faith. One has to take
his stand ON an axiom or self-evidant
truth and then look out and see
whether a circumstance is coming TO
him Or going from him. That Is the
way to get at tendency which is the
necessity habit of good citizenship.
1t is the small mind that is constant
ly looking for peanut facts and rea-
sons. Ii is the larger mind that looks
for tendencies, and the field for its
exercise includes all national, state
and city affairs. A man who doesn't
see tendencies there is poor citizen,
