THE ONE REMEDY-BErTER PAY
FOR TEACHERS.

, The attention of school trustees and
patrons Of city and rural schools is di-
rected to the letter, in this issue, of
David R. Coker, chairman of the State
, Council of Defense. in which time
ly plea is made, for the sake of the
. future of democratic citizenship, that
, adequate salaries be. paid school
teachers, which appears to be the one
remedy for existing conditions and to
, obviate embarrassment of the school
| authorities and the schools themselves
-; in the near future.
Mr.. Coker calls attention to the fact
that salaries Of school teachers have
not kept pace with the rising prices
of life's necessities and, as a warning
speaks of the tremendous demand for
young women, thousands of whom are
entering upon government work at
good salaries as thousands more are
taking the places Of men in mercan-
tile offices and establishments. Tt is
reasoned logically that unless salaries
of school teachers are increased for
the next school year, another year will
find thousands more school teachers in
more remunerative work. They are
capable, and it would be unreasonable
not to expect them to prepare them
selves during the approaching sum
mer vacation for the places open and
waiting for them unless the schools
they are now serving take their needs
into consideration.
The remedy, as suggested by Mr..
Cocker, if adequate funds are not avail
able from taxation to provide better
pay for school teachers, would be for
school trustees to raise by private
subscription from the school patron
sufficient additional funds for this
purpose
No school should remain closed and

Union is to have big Liberty Loan
parade and speaking on Friday (to-
morrow, beginning at / o'clock sharp.
Jonesville is to have like big parade
and speaking tomorrow beginning at
$3.50 o'clock. We would have been
glad to see these demonstrations held
on different days, but it could not
conveniently be so arranged One can
attend here, then get up to Jonesville
on the Carolina Special, which leaves
for Jonesville at 3:12 o'clock. We
hope to be able to get to both parades
and both speakings. 1t is a time for
all people, patriots and faithful citi-
Zens, to show their colors. True. it
now seems that there is prospect of
a good day for plowing tomorrow
However, we feel that it is even more
important than plowing-this mani
festation of patriotism. Let every
body come! -

no school should be taught by other
than competent teachers. The war
does not change the situation, except
to intensity the vital necessity of
proper educational facilities for the
children of today who will be the men
and women of tomorrow, and who, in
the years to come, must bear some
of the burdens thrust upon the world
by this war.

81 did not start the war;" Quite
true. Nor did we. The Germans
thrust it upon us by the violation of
every code in the book-murder
rapine, brutality, beastiality. No, you
did not start it. What we are trying
to do is to stop it! We are buying
bonds to back up our boys and help
them to crush the monster that, if let
alone, will destroy you!
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1918-04-25

Bonds or bombs-which? Let your
patriotism answer in unmistakable
words-LIBERTY BONDS!
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1918-04-25

Come on! Buy bonds! Buy all you
can, then some more just to show what

Wasted Advice

If I had taken my advice, and
saved, in peaceful times, today
I'd doubtless have the pr,ce-all
kinds of useful dimes. But while
I urged my friends to save, in
deathless prose and verse, for
vain and, foolish things l gave
the contents of my purse. While
handing out the wisest words
the. statutes would allow, /
threw my money to the birds,
and fed it to the COW. If had
taken my advice-'twas couched
in ringing rhyme wouldn't
now be buying ice two ounces at
a time. My steak I'd purchase
by the pound, like wise and
thrifty gents, and I would not be
chasing round to borrow fifty
cents. And I could help the Red
Cross game, and buy nine bonds
or so, and not be shivering in
shame because | lack the dough.
The price of everything I use
goes up, to beat the band; the
price of whisker dye and shoes,
and hoes to till the land; the
price goes up, not once or twice
each day we see it scoot; if l
had taken my advice I wouldn't
care a hoot. I'm in the hole, I'm
in the hole, I cannot pay my tax,
and I'm obliged to buy my coal
in little peanut sacks. My heart
is sad, my feet are ice, I'm weary
with disgust, because l laughed
at my advice and burned up all
my dust. WALT MASON.

ed To-Plan for Work
Over Summer.

The offer of The Evening Star to show
boys of twelve or thirteen years how they
can earn money now and during tho

vacation time was talked about in school
yards and Fairgrounds today.
Almost as soon as The Star appeared
on tho street yesterday a boy living In
the vicinity Of 18th street called on Mr..
Burns. circulation manager. on the Sec
ond floor Of The Star building, with the
clipping to hnd out moro about the plan.
Mr.. Burns viii be glad to see boys
from any part Of the city and explain
the offer to them, but boys living on
Columbia Heights. Washington Heights
or near Dupont Circle are especially
urged to como and find out how they can
make themselves useful and still have
plenty Of time for play.
Don't wait for school to close. Come
down to The Star office when school
let's out. Sec how Newspaper is printed

to you to help handle the big job Of

To-day people are realizing that

There are those who by force OF cir
cumstance or training have led lives
within narrow limits: their interests
confined to social life. clubs or busi-

these limitations which they felt to
be iTppassable barriers crumble. and

lack Of FUNDS DELAYS
BEACH OPENING
D. G. Heads Trying to Get Senate
Committee to Make Needed
Provisions.

Lacking funds for improvements
and the employment Of guards. the
District Commissioners SEQ no hope
for an early opening Of the municipal
bathing beach, unless Congress SHOULD
provide the necessary money In the
appropriation act for tho District for
the coming fiscal year.
The Commissioners went to the Cap
itol today to explain the situation to
the Senate committee which has the
District bill in charge.
Last year there was appropriated for
the bathing beach $5,460. Guards
were employed for $3.50 and 81 a day.
In their estimates for this year the
Commissioners asked for 5000. antic-
ipating improvements that would be
required and higher pay that would
be demanded by, guards. These antici-
pations have been met, as 1t is now
impossible to get guards for less than
~ day. It will be possible, after
the close Of schools, to get high school
students as guards at 50 a day. Be-
fore the beach can be opened about
$1,000 will have to be spent for re-
pairs.

F. WEBER MAKES FLORAL
 EXHIBIT IN JUNEAU

Fred Weber, who was called to Juneau as & Grand Juror returned On the steamship Alameda this morning, having been excused from further service.
 When MT. Weber left Skagway, he took with him two boxes packed with some Of his choicest dahlias, asters and other flowers from his 'amous warden.
 Upon his arrival in the capital city, Glen Bartlett of the Gastineau Hotel placed one of the parlors at the disposal of Mir. Weber for a display room, and immediately after the blossoms were arranged in jar dinieres and vases, he began to hold court. He states to a representa- tiYes of this paper that hundreds of residents of Juneau visited his display and all were loud in their praises of his success as 8 floricul' turist.
 Hs said that at one of the Cha tauqua meetings a huge bowl oi his flowers were given prominent position on the stage, and 1t was gratifying to him to hear the ex' clauations of the audience from all parts of the hall over the beau ty c! the immense blooms. When in JuneauM T. Weber wis tied the Anderson and Case greer Gouses, and while he says that this firm hes very fine collection ol h,t house plants, they have no thing that will compare with Skag' ways flowers which are grown out ot- doors.

LEFT BEHIND BY FLEEING HUNS
From w. Beach Thomas,
 With the British, July 3O'


 Among many amazing sights of the battlefield above the Marne IS a collection in Chateau -Thierry of parcels put together and addressed to theft homes by German soldiers. These parcels contain loot of every sort and description. One Is no- thing but priests robes; another chiefly consists of Laricot beans. Door handles, clocks, telegraph wire and metal ornaments of all sorts are collected in heaps as we'll as sorted into private parcels.
 No battlefield in the war has bet n so stippled with contrasted col ors and scene, though the grim and hestial have the mastery. Woods, fields, and river banks are strewn, with German dead. Here tethered PrcuD of horses have. fallen where they stood, unwounded but smother ed by gas poisons.
 Some little villages are as dead and desolate as Ypres; some are untouched except for the church spir, which has served for align meat of gunfire. All over the coun- try arc small shallow holes and trenches sCraped out In 8 hurry during this open warfare. Three hundred yards in front of ma chine gun, half. concealed in a little scoop, lie q whole line of enemy dead, caught as they emerged from a wood.
 The Germans had no time for systematic destruction either of old trenches or roads; indeed, they left large dumps of their own shells undistlrDed. Debris of the retreat of 1914 may be found close a loneti6e some of the limbers just deserted.
 The novelty and stranseness of the whole front and it's significance and variety are enhanced pN the con tinual intermixing of troops of the many nations-French, Italian, A merlcan, and British (both English and scottish) who have conquered and suffered side by side. Happily the whole scene, the most pictorial of the war, Is being preserye6 by great number of photographs. AL lied photographers have never faced danger with more disregard Of their personal safety.
