AS TO THRIFT STAMPS
USED AS PREMIUMS

Several well-intentioned merchants,
through ignorance of the regulations
and policy of the Treasury Depart
ment, have offered to give Thrift
Stamps as trade premiums. While
merchants who do this doubtless feel
that they are patriotically boosting
the stamps, the Treasury Department
feels that this practise helps the mer-
chant more than it does the War Saw
ings movement, and for the guidance
of those concerned, the South Carolina
War Savings Committee has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject:
There is no objection whatever to
individuals or firms giving Thrift or
War Savings Stamps as bona fide
gifts; nor is there any objection to the
practise of making payment in Thrift
or War Savings Stamps for services
rendered. These two practices are to
be encouraged, as is the practice of
employers giving employees bonuses
in Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
"What the Treasury Department OBJ
jccts to, and requests patriotic mer-
chants to refrain from, is the practice
of giving Thrift Stamps as bonuses
with purchases with the intention of
increasing the stores business. Such
a practice defeats the fundamental
purpose Of the War Savings move

TO AMERICAN COTTON GROWERS

New York, May 2.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press)-An
urgent invitation to American cotton
growers and manufacturers to affiliate
with the International Cotton Fedora
ton was extended by Arno S. Uearse,
of Manchester, England, secretary of
that organization, in a paper read
here today at the joint convention of
the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association and the National Associa-
tion of Cotton Manufacturers.
Mr.. Pearse asserted that the views
oFAmcrican cotton men were not con-
sidercd abroad because they are not
represented in the international BODY
which was formed more than four
teen years ago as a result of the
Sully corner" and is composed of
leaders in the industry from England,
Russia, France, Italy, Denmark, India
and Japan. Germany and Austria
have been excluded since the war.
Cotton will be extremely scarce
for many years after the war;" stated
Mr.. Pearse, land it's growth should
be encouraged wherever it can be
carried on with success He said il
was questionable whether the South
ern cotton planters would in future
find it more lucrative to grow food
stuffs than their old staple.
The American cotton men were

take an international view of the sit
uation Notwithstanding that the Unit
ed States produces two-thirds of the
worlds cotton supply. In the five
years between 1911 and 1916, he said,
America had increased its consump-
tion 100000 bales and within the
next five years, he predicted, this
country would be using two thirds of
its own yield.
In view of the fact, he said, that the
cotton industry is in "most preca-
rious position" that the worlds pro-
duction and consumption of cotton
from 1905 to 1914 only just balance,
the following tentative program for
combined action in the United States
cotton belt by the International Cot
kaR Federation, based upon the Amer
sf.rs becoming members, was sug-
gested:
Reforms in compressing with
consequent saving in freight and pack
ing.
2-Improved sampling of bales with
corresponding economy in cotton.
Reorganization of an efficient crop
reporting service throughout the cot
ton belt.
4-Closer relations between pro-
ducers and consumers of cotton.

POETRY FOR ALL
We Fight for Homei

We Fight for Home!
My home is safe. The sparrows love
its eaving.
The robin blesses it with cheerful
song,
The pine tree shields screech OWLS
piteous grieving.
My home is safe-how long?
My garden soon will laugh with merry
flowers,
The village street is gay with chill
dren's play;
They drag to school, and fly to play
time hours.
How soon will end their day?
The sprngtime sky's aglow with gold
en- splendor,
Quick silvery showers drench the
thirsting earch,
The sweet days close in sunsets warm
and tender
Ends so our care-free mirth?
Or must we, too, ba driven from
homes no dearer
Than those wrecked walls whose
tenants heartless roam?
Must mangled infant frames the truth
make clear
That we, too, fight for home?
Hold nothing back, America! Come
render
Your best, your all, nor think to end
this strife
Till, stripped of power, the conquered
Beast surrender
His evil use of life!

agreed that death will be demanded
as the penalty in the first case. Thus
far, although the United States has
been at war for seven months there
is no case.
The question has been frequently
asked of late, in view of the fact
that the government has arrested sew
eral hundred alien enemies, why none
of them has been put on trial for
his life. The answer is that the
government has not get obtained a
clear case of espionage against any
of the prisoners. All of them are
recognized as enemies of the United
States; many of them are in Jail
because of plots and cOnspiracies
involving damage to property, or the
dissemination of dangerous propa-
ganda. or attempts to undermine the
government and incite insurrecction.
But thus far the government has not
yet laid its hands on person en-
gagged directly in the business of try
ing to transmit military information
to the enemy.
The fact that no spy has been
brought to trial thus far does not
indicate a hesitating policy on the
part of the government. Attorney
General Gregory. Secretary of War
Baker and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels all believe that spies should
be put to death for the sake of the
Nations safety. When any one of
the three government departments vi
which they are heads gets a clear
cut case of espionage and obtains
| a conviction. there will be a spy on
the road to the gallows or a firing
squad. There is a determination to
show no leniency in such cases.
