Sugar Customers Should be Treated
Alike
(Barre Tines)

Everyone-that is, nearly everyone
will agree with the Rutland News
in the demand that equal justice be
do.lc to all in the matter of the sale
Of sugar. In order to secure that
equal justice it would be well for the
United States government to name
IL price for sugar which would be
equitable and which would serve as
a guide to all dealers in the commo-
dity. The former fixed price of IL
cents seems to be going. by the board,
resulting in great confusion as to
retail price of sugar in places even
inside the confines of a stqall state
like Vermont. -----

CANNOT lose MONEY
If INVESTED WISELY
Funds Put Into War Savings Stamps
are Absolutely Safe and Yield
Handsome Profit to Holder

Government securities afford the
safest and most practical investment
in the world. A War Savings Stamp is
a promisory note for SIS if redeemed at
maturity, or for the original cost OF
the stamp plus accrued interest if re-
deemed before maturity.
1t was only after America entered
the great world conflict that the small
wage Garner in this country was af-
forced the opportunity Of investing in
government securities; OF becoming
co-partners with the government. That
there are today more than 10000, 1000
holders of government securities is q
fact which speaks for itself.
When you buy War Savings Stamp
you are helping the goTer-ment. To
be able to make loan co the govern
ment, even as small as the sum repre-
sented by War Savings Stamp, is a
proof of patriotism and also practi-
cal manifestation Of that spirit OF ma.
tional thrift and individual savings
which has come to us as permanent
heritage from the war.

VALUE OF SAVINGS
BECOMES APPARENT
one of Great Lessons Of War ls That
Of National and Individual Thrift
Now Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern
ment has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
dictated by the allies and the coun-
tries associated with them, the great
est and most disastrous war that ever
seourged the world is ended.
For nearly FIVE years the world has
been topsy-turvy. The things that
were needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the activities of the
great war establishments and NUM-
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture of implements of peace.
There must now be readjustment.
Governments that have thought in bill
lions and spent money with a lavish
hand, must retrench and think in mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain a new perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
war is one Of the most glorious chap
ters in history. And in the making OF
this brilliant history the plain Ameri-
can citizen played a stellar role. The
mountains of munitions, the equip
ncnt for the millions Of soldiers, the
great ships that carried the men
across the ocean, could not have been
provided had not the common people
OF America provided the money.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale OF Liberty Bonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume Of money has not
been wasted. First it brought perma-
nont peace to the world, and now that
real peace is here, every cent that was
50 invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and it
will come back with interest.
This war that is now happily ended
has taught the people the value of saw
ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism as
anything else. But now that they are
reaping the returns, and see that what
they did with a patriotic motive is a
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained new confidence in
their country, and they will continue
to buy the securities the Treasury De-
partment offers. and will make the
county MANIFOLD more prosperous
than 1t would have been had not the
war instilled the lesson that will prove
Invaluable In future years.

WEALTH OF NATION
GROWING RAPIDLY

In Washington some of those ex-
perts, who are masters Of figures and
who have mind attuned to statistics,
frequently dig up queer things. One
of this type has figured out that the
total wealth of the United States is
$500 900, 100000. Then he figures out
the new wealth produced annually,
which he terms met income" This
gets into dizzy figures, too. He esti.
mates that last year the national
wealth increased s1S,cOo, 600, 900, which
he admits is going faster than the
normal. Another Washington official
points out that one Of the best ways
to conserve this national income in
wealth is for individuals to buy War
Savings Stamps.

PAYING OFF THAT
MORTGAGE

Theodore Roosevelt said: Thrift is
merely the use Of hard common sense
in the spending Of money" Paying
of the mortgage on the installment
plan by buying War Savings Stamps
is one Of the uses of this hard COM
mon sense.
Not only does this plan offer prac-
tieal way of saving small amounts OF
money, but small amounts may be
earning interest as soon as they are
set aside toward the collecting OF
the larger sum. This interest in turn
materially helps to reduce the 6 per
cent interest rate commonly charged
on mortgages.
When the mortgage comes due 1t
may either be paid OH in whole. or IN
part and renewed, the method OF
saving through War Savings Stamps
being employed until the principal is
uquidated.

ONE SAFE PLACE FOR LIB
.ERTY RONDS-THE BANK
PUT YOURS THERE

The Cumberland (Md.) Eve
ming Times prints the following,
which should be a reminder to
all who are now keeping their
Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Stamps in boxes around the
house or in broken tea pots or
IN mattresses:
Mrs. William B. Dever, wife
Of Fireman-Engineer Dever.
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Of
Rowlesburg, w. Va; threw S1,r
$50 worth of Liberty Bonds into
the Cheat river, back Of her
home, by mistake, with rubbish
she had cleaned from their
home. The valuable bonds have
not been recovered although a
diligent search of the Cheat
river bottom in that vicinity has
been made.
W. B. Dever's great loss of
bonds has a parallel. w. w.
Wood, Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road engineer, lost $3.50 worth
of Liberty Bonds from his pock-
ct. They were a S10o and $50
issue. Engineer Wood intended
to deposit the bonds in local
bank. They have not been To-
Gated.
A laborer unloading car Of
coal at Paw Paw, Saturday,
found a 500 bond in the coal.
1t is thought to have dropped
from the pocket Of car loader
at the mines. The laborer re-
ported the matter to the COM
pany's station agent at Paw
Paw, y is said, with view OF
returning 1t TO its owner.

Will the People Submit to
Lawless Distillers?

Will the people of South Carolina
scbmit to the overthrow of prohibi-
ton by the lawless distillers? The
overwhelming majority of the people
are opposed to the making aid SELL
ing of intoxicants, and they know
that, so far, prohibitio has tremen-
dously benefited the state. Open bar
rooms and dispensaries the last three
years would have made life in this
land almost intolerable.
Now we are confronted with the
fact that an element of the popula-
ton is resolved that the prohibition
law shall be set at naught. Two dis
tilleries were raided in Barnwell
county two days ago and every day
reports of the operation of these
criminal concerns are published.
Until the dispensary law was en-
acted the "whiskey question" was one
of cities and towns and for long
time the people of the country were
unreasonable in their disposition to
the towns on account of it.
The dispensary law, destroying the
treating habit, went long way to
shift the problem to the country dis
tricts. Whiskey was purchased in the
original package and carried to the
country and there distributed. The
present condition in the rural sec
tions is, in part, the inheritance Of
the dispensary system for which the
rural voters were in the main respon-
sible.
Be it to their credit or discredit,
the responsibility for prohibition be-
longs for the most part to these same
rural voters and the problem of extir-
pating the illicit distillery is almost
exclusively the problem of the coun-
try people. After long time the pub
lie opinion in the towns, even in
Charleston, asserted itself against
blind tigers and resulted in reducing
the evil to the minimum. Since 1892
the country people have shaped and
directed the policy of South Carolina
towards the whiskey traffic and, at
last, the time has come when they
have got to act as well as to vote and
talk. They will have the cooperation
of the people in the towns, the "moon
shine distillery" being menace to
them, but most of the task of sup
pressing the unlawful manufacture
and sale of liquor will be upon them.
If prohibition shall fail in South
Carolina, it will be their failure. They
have made the law and it is for their
public opinion to organize and en-
force 1.-THE State.
