HELP PAY YOUR DEBT TO UNCLE SAM!
Some wizard may invent a way to beat the submarine, but
wizardry is not going to win the war for America.
There isn’t going to be any hocus pocus business about what
we’ve got on our hands.
It’s going to be just plain old plugging away, everybody doing
his best, that will win.
We’ve laid our plans for raising the army we’re going to
need.
Now we’re going to back up the army; we’ve got to keep it out
fitted, fed and supplied with guns and ammunitions.
That takes money—loads of money.
. For the first of this money a bond issue has been voted by
Congress. Bonds are on sale now.
These bonds can be had at any bank. They draw 3 1-2 per
cent interest. They come in denominations of as low as $50. You
can get the meither for one lump payment, or on the installment
plan.
Applications must be made before June 15. You pay 2 per
cent on application, 18 per cent June 28, 20 per cent July 30, 30
per cent August 15 and 30 per cent August 30. That is the install
ment plan.
You, arc not giving Uncle Sam anything. You are just loan
!ng him a little money at good interest, on security that is the best
in the world. And you won’t have to pay taxes on it.
Your bond is marketable at any time. You can sell it any day
you pjease.
It is up to the American people to buy these bonds and to buy
them quick. Wall street isn’t going to buy these bonds. It can’t,
The money has got to come from the people—and that’s you.
You'll be saving money for yourself, making it earn some
thing for you and helping your country and your fight with every
stroke.
Every American owes his country a debt that he can never
overpay, but every American can do a little toward paying by
buying a Liberty Bond today.
“TO HAVE AND TO HOLD.”.
The legacy of freedom, wrested from greedy foreign nations
and (tended down to us by our forefathers, is a priceless one, and
beingjso it devolves upon us to protect and preserve it, by every
drop Of our blood if need be, for ourselves and our children and
our children’s children. ,
The,greatest folly we could just now be guilty of would be
to shut our eyes to the German menace looming so menacingly
abovtais. We need not deceive purselves as to the intent of Em-
pror William and his war lords. It is needful that we fully realize
that his insatiable greed for German aggression includes America.
It is no difficult matter to visualize what would happen should
Teuton arms be victorious over the entente allies. There is no as
surance that it will not happen if the United States does not throw
herself whole-heartedly into the breach. It is the part of America
to sate herself and the world from German autocracy.
In all ages liberty has been won at a terrific blood cost. It
has been ifecessary to fight to hold it. War is monstrous, but
only by the sword has freedom been established, and by the sword
must’we now fight for the liberty of the world.
Our food, our money and our men must be contributed freely
and unreservedly to this present contest in the interest of uni
versal democracy. We must accept the Inevitable with proper res
ignation. We will do a big part in winning this world war for
freedom. It has been demonstrated that patriotism is as strong
in our land as it ever was. When victory comes to entente arms
the Stars and Stripes will be found floating proudly and conspicu
ously" along with the banners of its allies.
WHY NOT RETURN TO THE OLD METHOD?
Since the publication recently in The Herald of several edito
rials concerning the condition of the roads of Clarke county a
number of gentlemen have suggested that a probable remedy lies
in a return,to the old method of electing the county commissioners
by the grand jury instead of by the people. In fact, it is reported
that a petition is soon to be circulated asking the representatives
of Clarke county in the legislature to endeavor to have the law
changed.
These gentlemen assert that the old method of selecting the
county commissioners was far the best, and The Herald is inclined
to agree with them. These gentlemen state that the present mem
bra of the commission are very clever gentlemen who are doing
their J»st to give the county good roads, but the contention is that
'here are men in the county who are equipped to render as good
rvide as can be had but who are not disposed to enter a political
[test for one of the positions.

Bee experts are mobilizing their resources. No, not for serv

All the wheat in England belongs to the government. All the
wheat in America is the plaything of the Chicago wheat pit,
“Zeppelin went to heaven,” said Simplicissimus. "Zeppelin
brought down,” said headlines in America a few days later.
Several cities have little gambling crusades on. Why not
make it national, and get after the Chicago and Minneapolis wheat
gamblers?
Oh, very well, put your old tax on coffee. The P<wtiim ads
knock the beverage anyway as being unhealthful. There’s a
chance of chicory again becoming a popular drink at mealtimes.
It is quite true that Uncle Sam is not raising his new army
by the volunteer system, but just the same we regret that the
Colonel could not have his way about raising a division.

HIOT IN ROYAL SQUARE
OF STOCKHOLM TUESDAY
(By Arthur E. Mann, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)
Stockholm, June 7.—Ten thousand
socialists and laborers rioted in the
Royal Square here Tuesday after
noon when the premier of the lower
house of parliament refused the elec
tion of the Socialist leader, Branting-
berg, to the upper house.
A number were wounded by sabres
wielded by police and soldiers.
A big force of guards was hastily
summoned to the palace and parlia
ment when the mob began giving in
diactions of violence. The parade
had started as a peaceable demonstra
tion, but when the crowd found its
progress barred to approaches to the
palace and the parliament buildings,
their temper changed. Stones were
thrown at the police and soldiers and
there were several spirited clashes.
The guard'# however, were strong
enough to repel all attempts of the
mob to rush the parliament building.

Mr. D. W. Gaston, President of the First National Bank, Aiken,S.C.,

old style hulls. The most successful owners of live stock In every

They readily see that Buckeye Hulls, being 100 percent roughage
and selling at several dollars per ton less than old style hulls, are
much better value. So long as you get more real roughage to the
ton and every ton costs less, why should you buy‘anything but
Buckeye Hulls ? Get a ton. See how much farther they go and how
much money they save you.
To secure the best results and to develop tho ensilage odor, wet the halls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting theifi down might and morning for the nest feeding. If at any turn
this cannot be done, wet down «t least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style bulls.

Super-Sixes Prove Endurance
In Cincinnati Races
First Place in the Free-for-all—Second, Seventh and Ninth Places
in the 250-mile Sweepstakes made by Hudson Super-Six Specials
250 Miles—Average Speed 101 Miles Per Hour
Unlike other cars entered in the Memorial
Day Races at Cincinnati, the Hudson Super-
Six Specials were not designed as racing cars.
They arc the regular stock Super-Six Cars
with changes that increased their speed and
made them more suitable for racing, but that
have not altered their design.
All that was done to these cars could be
done at nominal cost to anyone of the 36,000
Hudson Super-Six Cars now ir. use.
Not Built to Win—Built to Endure.
There were many cars entered that were
admittedly faster than the Hudson. But the
speed a car shows for a few laps is not always
an indication of what may be expected in a
250 Mile grind.
Hudsons are matched against the specially
designed racing care that they may prove
their endurance. Whatever position they fin
ish in is due to their ability to maintain a high
speed without mechanical break down.
The Super-Six motors are 3 Vi by 5 inches
in size, exactly the same size as the motors
used in all Hudson Super-Six stock cars.
Most of the racing care in the sweepstakes
event have larger motors than the Super-Sixes
and the care weigh from 500 to 700 pounds
less than the Hudsons. Most of the care en
tered bear names that arc not known in the
field of pleasure cars. They are built solely
for the purpose 'of racing. Hudson racing
cars are built to show Hudson engineers how
to build better Hudsons.
What May Be Expected of Stock
Super-Sixes.
All tests made by Hudson Super-Six Care
indicate what may be expected of any Hud
son Super-Six Stock Car.
Hudsons made their fine showings at Cin
cinnati by staying in ti«s race when other and
faster cars were compelled to drop out
That is what you want of an automobile.
You want a car that will not break down
under stress of any service you will ever im
pose.
Of course you are not buying a racing car.
You will never want to drive 250 Miles at a
speed of 101 Miles an hour.' You won’t ever
want to cross the continent in record time
and then turn around and make the round
trip in 10 day3, 21 houre. That is what a 7
Passenger Hudson Super-Six did. And you
don’t want to drive 1.810 miles in 24 hours
as a stock Hudson Super-Six Chassis did when
it broke the 24 hour record by 52%.
But you want a car that will keep going as
long as you will ever want it to go. What
the Hudson Super-Six has proved in endur-
«nce in speed trials and what was proved fa)
the Cincinnati races by the Specials, far ex
cel in severity any test that anyone is ever
likely to make.
, Any car will run well for a time on dtp
boulevards. Any car will show good speed
for a time. But what the car will do under
rough usage and what it will do in a grind
equalling that of the. speedway are indica*
tions of what it will do in yean of service. y
You would have been firmly convinced of
Hudson[endurance had you Men the Super-
Sixes at Cincinnati.
Don’t think'the Super-Six is a racing car.
But racing care must stand up under the
hardest service. We are merely proving that
the Hudson Super-Six is an enduring Car.
That it will meet every service task without
jjjj^PPOlntment or expense is what theM testa
