WATER MELONS FOR MARKET,


The local market has been we'll
supplied the past few weeks with an
excellent quality of water melons.
The melons are fine size and the fla
vor excels anything found among
the famed water melons of the
Cracker state
In planting only for local use, we
miss an opportunity to turn an easy
dollar in not planting for the north
ern markets. The section east of
town is famed for it's fine melon soil
and the higher regions produce them
early enough to get them to market
before local planting can interfere
with the price. With this propitious
situation, why should we not get in
the game and grow melons for the
northern markets? We have got all
sections skinned when it comes to
the flavor and the size of our mel
ons could be toned down to meet
the demand for about thirty pound
melon which city people are able to
buy.
We call the attention of our coun-
ty demonstrator and agricultural ex-
perts to this inviting field and sug-
gest that they begin now to get the
people on the east side lined up to
ship melons by the car load in 1918.

APPEAL BOARD GETTING
FIRST QUOTA READY

The task of securing an army is
progressing slowly, but the work will
be sufficiently advanced to send the
first quota from the state the date,
September 5, designated by the war
department as the time for the first
call. The appeal board will secure
enough men.4to GO that day, but the
duty of unraveling the great mass
of appeal certificates and affidavits
will require months of time and hard
labor. Every mail continues to
bring in papers from the various
counties and as but few of them got
their quota in the first call, the sec
ond call had to be issued and those
in this call are now being examined
and their exemption cards consider
ed.
The local board completed the
physical examinations the past week
of those in the second call and are
now busy considering the exemption
claims which are coming in through
every mail. The number of those
dismissed who were physically dis
qualified in the second call is about
Of the same per cent as in the first.
The number claiming exemption will
also run to about the same number
as before. The county's quota is
240, the number volunteering 20,
which deducted from this leaves 211
to- be drafted. About one half of
this number were secured in the
first call, but as there are a number
of appeals from the rulings of the
lower board it may be that some Of
those certified by the lower board
may be discharged, in which case
others will be drawn to take their
places.
Much time is necessary to com
plete the work and the boards are
taking all the time necessary to give
each drafted man every considera-
tion to which he is entitled.
