LIBERTY WAREHOUSE
Il the Place Decided Upon TO Hold the
Corn and Tobacco Fair This Year
Other Arrangements Are
Being Made For the Sue
cess Of the Fair.

At a meeting of the directing COM
mittee of the Corn and Tobacco Fair
1t was definitely settled that the 1917
fair will be held in the Liberty Ware
honse, where 1t was held last year
Although several OF the other ware
house companies offered their build
ings 1t was decided that the Liberty
was the best fitted for the fair and
would be plenty large enough.
The contract for decorating the
building was awarded to the William
Beck & Sons Company, this firm had
charge of the decorating last year.
1t was the opinion that a committee
appointed by the Woman's Club could
best handle the compiling of prem
ium list, for all handiwork. The Sec
rotary was instructed to communicate
with some Of the best bands In an en-
deavor to find out who were available
at the time of the fair.
Messrs. E. T. Kirk, e. Frank Boyd
and A. NJ. Casey were appointed a
committee to plan the exhibition and
premium list for the agricultural and
tobacco departments, and Messrs
George Dodson and H. p. Purnell
we're appointed a committee to plan
exhibits and premium list for the
poultry department which promises to
be big feature of the fair.
The Secretary was also instructed
to communicate with the State auth
critics and notify them of the accep-
lance of their offer to make Good
Roads" display if the fair committee
would furnish the BOOTH
From here it looks as though the
big 1917 Corn and Tobacco Fair will
be one of the biggest things ever at
tempted in this section of the coun-

ing, Atlanta, Ga, says:
"Thirty-eight thousand five hun
dred additional men are needed i'm
mediately to fill Navy's emergency
complement. A quota of twelve
hundred has been assigned to this
station to be supplied by April goth"
The traditional patriotism of the
South can be depended upon to fur
nish this quota of men in record time.
Putnam county has already furnished
several young men, who enlisted even
before the call. Now that war has
been declared to exist between the
Imperial German empire and the
United States, a war of Germany's

call to arms will not go unheeded by

and faced about. They remained
standing until the last senator had

The usual committees were ap-

With only few seconds delay the
president pl lnged into his address. A

however. was clear and grew stron-

Attention to his remarks was un-

TO INCREASE ARMY
TO TWO MILLION MEN
Is Plan of General Staff Now
Before the President.

Detailed plans of the war depart
ment for raising an army numbering
millions If that is necessary "to bring
the government of the German en-
pire to terms" were placed in Presi-
dent Wilson'S hands today in the
form Of bill prepared by the gener-
al staff and reviewed and revised in
part by Secretary Baker and the
general officers who are his military
advisers.
The president, as commander in
chief, already has approved the ba-
SIS adopted for the war army and
preparations have been made at the
war department for presenting the
measure to the military committees
Of congress. Secretary Baker said
today 1t would go to the house and
senate committees as soon as the
war resolution had been adopted. Ma
lor General Scott, chief of staff, will
explain the plan and the military
reasons for the need to train the
number Of men the bill will produce.
This is believed to be not less than
two millions to be trained within
two years.
In the navy department Secretary
Daniels announced during the day
that contracts for approximately 200
submarine chasers and coast patrol
boats had been let and additional
contracts were being signed each day.
Preparations to take into the service
: huge fleet Of small motor craft for
inshore patrol work are being COM
pIeted.
Details Being Withheld.
The scope of the war departments
amy plan is gradually becoming
clear, although the details are being
withheld until they are sent to con-
greSs. Included in the scheme must
be the funds and equipment neces-
sary to establish military training on
a basis never before attempted in the
United States. Trench fighting is
the predominating feature of the
battles of today. Mimic trench war
fare, realistic to the last possible de-
gree, must replace much of the old
open order skirmish drill, supplement-
ed with hard marching and vigorous
physical exercises to harden the men
as quickly as possible.
There are many indications that it
is proposed to build up a fighting
machine composed exclusively of men
IN their twenties and each man free
f.cm home responsibilities or cares
shat might embarrass his soldierly
Qualities. A perfect military weapon
is to be fashioned, officers say, if the
Hrmy's rlan is accepted by congress.
i will kp time and money h11t will
furnish such a force as we'll make
its weight tell against any troops in
the world.

OFF TO CAMP JACKSON

A good-sized crowd gathered at the
Coast Line train today to say good
bye to the little bunch of selects who
left for Camp jackson. They were
George Bats, Orus Hicks, Sam j..
Gore and Thomas L. Fort. George
Bats is the well-known young book
keeper and local baseball star. Just
starting out into business life with
good prospects, he must turn into the
great. highway of war and join the
millions who will make a wall across
the path of the Teuton arch-maniac
and his dupes. The other three were
sturdy country boys, coming from
good homes to manfully play their
part in the great war game. They
were mostly unknown to the town
folk, but no introduction was needed
to. cause many to give them the part
ing hand with hearty goodwill and
perhaps prayer or two.
These young men will arrive al
Camp Jackson early tomorrow anc
probably go right into training
Others will be going forward in few
days.

FULL RANK FOR PERsHING
Washington, Oct. 3.-Revival of the
grade of full general is planned by
the war-department in order to pro-
vide a suitable rank for Major Gen
eral Pershing, commander the Amer

Only four American army officers
have borne that title, those being

says early promotion of Pershing is
essential because he will soon COM

the highest military rank.

TICK ERADICATION
is THE THING

That tick eradication is the thing
was the sentiment among those pres
ent at the meeting of farmers and
stock raisers at the courthouse Tues
day afternoon. At least sixty of these
were present, and what is the most
encouraging sign is that some who
had hitherto opposed the movement
became converted to it.
Mr.. r. W. Storrs of DeFuniak. who
is the head of the work in Florida,
made good and convincing talk. Mr..
Storrs, by the way, is veteran news
paper man. He is one of Gov. Cats
"good" appointments, and as he is an
enthusiast in the work and knows
! how to present it thoroughly.
Excellent talks were also made by
our own leaders in the movement
Messrs. John L. Edwards, 2. c. Cham
bliss, w. d. earn, S. II. Gaitsldll and
W. j.. Folks, all much interested in
cattle raising, and DR.. Chipman,
agent in this county for the depart
ment.
At the conclusion of the addresses,
a stock growers association was
formed. Mr.. John L. Edwards was
elected president and Mr.. Chas. B.
Howell secretary and treasurer. Near
ly all present gave in their names for
membership. A time and place for
meeting will soon be announced, and
a permanent organization made.
Tick eradication is matter of
such simple common sense that it is
wonder that it has to be argued. 1t
is only q question of whether the
farmers and stock raisers shall pay
an exorbitant toll to the ticks or not
Mr.. Storrs, by the way, paid the
Star an appreciated call while he was
here, and we hope to see him again.
