girl from the age of 10 to IA years
is going to be asked to sign up to be-
some member of the Junior auxil-
iary to the Honor Guards, and those
of the age of IA to 80 are going to
be asked to join the Honor Guards.
An ingenious plan has been worked
out whereby all can do something.

signed to the little girls will be that

1877 IS DANGER
YEAR FOR SOUTH
Twenty Million Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD aD-That 1917
is danger year" for the south, and
that there is dynamite in the pres
ent cotton situation for the cotton
growing farmer" are the warning
words used by H. G.. Hastings, presi-
dent OF the Southeastern Fair Asso-
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring." he says, "is
the bait that will lure hundreds Of
thousands Of farmers in the south to
each put in few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we will come nearer a. twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex-
pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
| pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think 1t time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit OF our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
hogs.
The safe way is to first supply all
needs of family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre
age IN cotton. With bread and meat
in hand, and garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
| fan; with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ia.
BILE use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely Independent of
! cotton prices In the fall The farmer
SO provided for is never distressed

mind at ease, and sell in his own good
time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce

essarily be at the expense Of food and
A. grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south's pres.
ent prosperity than Is IS to 20 cent

Memories are short, but wise far.
mers need only to look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
cotton that can't be eaten, and the
lack Of food that one must eat. re.
peat this year OF 1917, is a danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot.
ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with the cards stacked
against him."

The Tin Peddler saws he is,
going to cut the town Of Rye off
OF his circuit it he does not get
better patronage there. If this
is done it will be a great setback
in the commercial growth of
that place, and everyone should
make tia practice to price every
thing on the Tin PeddIer's wagon
every time it comes thru.
An attempt has been made to
place blemish against the fair
name Of that sterling organiza.
tion known as the Excelsior Fid-
ding Band bv man who lives
on the east end of Musket Ridge.
He has been telling 1T around
that the band. always picks a
dark night to srrenade people,
and that after each visit some
thing is missing from the prem
ises. He claims to have lost a
nice hog on the night they Wis
tied his home. Some people are
too quick to accuse others, this
band being a strictly local or
ganization and made up of some
OF our best citizens. The gen
tleman says he heard the hog
squealing, but when Raj Bar
low, leader of the band, was
asked about it, he stated that
the man could not have possibly
heard the squealing, as the band
was playing very loud at the
time. i
