In view of the crisis which con.
fronts our government and the prob.

to face, and which demand co-opera

First:-That the paramount duty
of every citizen is to stand squarely
behind the President of the United

operation, we may aid him in his
arduous duties of bringing this war to
a speedy and successful termination,
and to this endeavor, we pledge our
selves, by saneness of thought, by
conservation, by personal means and
by endeavo1ing in every possible way
within our power, to increase our
every resource;
Second THAT we consider it
waste of our resources to divert any
of our food supplies to- the manufac-
ture of intoxicating liquors. and re-
commend that the manufacture of
same be prohibited during the period
of the war;
Third:-That we believe it to be
the duty of every citizen to offer his
or her services to the country and in
some capacity, to the end that the
war may be brought to a speedy and
successful close;
Fourth THAT we are in favor of
raising q company of soldiers in Cava.
lier county; that they be trained here

ings for their use as drill ground
and armory;
Fifth:-That we are heartily in
favor of raising large army with
the least possible delay, and there
fore endorse the plan of President
Wilson to raise same by selective
draft;
Sixth:-That committees be ap-
pointed in every community in Cava-

production by the utilization of every
vacant lot or other available garden
spot; that campaign of education

Today is the beginning of Lent and
the cloak OF quietness that that peni-
tential period throws about the social
life OF a community is already being
manifest. Almost all of the larger
card vlubs have suspended session.
and formal dancing parties and recep-
tions are supposed to be taboo. More
and more busy hostesses are welcom-
ing the 40 days Of quiet even though
unmoved by any church teachings.
for after a gay and merry winter
there must be a season of relaxation
for rest and refreshment in order that
one may taxi up with renewed lager
ness the whirl of spring and summer
OF course there will be many small
gatherings and even large ones. but
the furious pace of the last several
months is considerably slowed down
and matrons and maids alike are join.
ing in the welcome rest.

DEEPER RIVER FOR SUGAR
MAKERS IN SAVANNAH.

Savannah, Sept THE Govern.
ment has acted on the request OF
President B. A. Oxnard, of the Saw,
annah Sugar, Refinery, who asked
that the river between Kings Island
and the refinery be dredged to q
feet at low water Dredge No 5
with j. d. Fitzgerald in charge, was
put at work Monday on this portion
of the river The fact that the re
finery pays the government $4,000
a day in import duty on sugar is
thought to have had much to do with
the quick action by the government
in dredging this shallow portion OF
the upper river.
The refinery is corking at top speed
turning out Dixie Crystal" its 100
per cent sugar to meet the strong de
mand for Southern made sugar in
the Southeastern States. All the re
finery can turn out is being sold tc
jobbers, and the demand is always
equal to the supply.

SALES IN GEORGIA.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. What better
evidence of Astounding prosperity
could be offered than the fact that
10000 more automobile license tags
have been sold in Georgia up to the
present date than were sold in the
same period last year?
Georgias tags are issued annually
and run with the calendar, from
January / to December 81. Up to
the present time last year, the Secre-
tary Of state had sold 43,O35 license
tags. Up to present date in 1917,
he has sold 65,O92, and the applica-
ton keep rolling in.
Phil Cook, secretary of state, es-
mated that the state would need
bout $4,000 tags this year. Already
more than that number have been
old, and the end is not yet in sight.

AEN GIVEN TIME
TO ARRANGE AFFAIRS

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 1.-THE district
appeal board of the northern district
Of Georgia has adopted the policy in
numerous cases Of granting certl-
fed men until December l to make
arrangements for their dependents
before going into the National Army,
similar to the extensions granted a
number of farmers. Whether this
will mean that the men will escape
the first draft entirely remains to be
seen. If the local boards go ahead
and fill their first quota, certifying
men to take the places Of men who
are granted extensions, the latter
will probably not be called until the
second draft, but when that comes, il
it does come, they will automatically
go in as previously certified.
