ASSOCIATION
TO Be FORMED
Get In as a Member and Thus Cut Out
the Middle Man and Get the Full
Worth OF Your Potatoes--To
Organize October I3.

G. E. Brehm, OF Knoxville, was SEM
here yesterday by the Division of Ex
tension to look over the field with 8
view of assisting our farmers in mar
ketlng their potatoes at the best posi-
BILE price.
The most feasible and surest way fol-
the farmer to get full value for his po-
tatoes is through an association that
will handle the potatoes and sell them
direct to wholesalers 10 southern cities
When seen by the Chronicle Mr..
Brehm assured US that he personally
knew of firms in Chattanooga, Men,
phIs and Atlanta that would be glad to
handle the potatoes this section will
have for sale this year and they will
pay the top OF the market for them.
GRADING POTATOES.
The top Of the market can only be
had by grading potatoes. That every
person understands. BY forming Po-
tato Association In this county all our
potatoes could be handled through the
association and properly graded. which
would not only insure ready sale, but
good prices.
MEETING CALLED.
A meeting has been called for Satur-
day, October 13, at which time Mr..
Brehm Will be present ana explain to
our farmers the benefits Co be derived
from the forming OF potato associa-
tlon and will give such other intorma.
tion as will make clear that such an
association can be of great benefit to
our farmers.
Every farmer IN the county should
make it his special business to attend
the meeting and come prepared to re-
port as to the probable number of
bushels of potatoes he will have for
sale and the kind.
. AS no business of any kind can be
operated successfully without some one
to direct 1t, the selection of man to
look after the business end will be of
great Importance. Whoever that man
should chance to be he should have first
of all, the confidence of the people
generally, be capa BILE business man
and be conveniently located to Cross
vile so that he will be ready at all
lines to give every detaiI-ot the busi- 7
less his prompt attention. Such men
ire scarce.
t is not the purpose of the Chronicle
% in any way attempt to direct the
election of officers but simply to offer
for the consideration of
ur farmers when they meet for organ
zatlon Saturday, October 13.
Take this matter under considera-
ION, talk it over with your neighbors,
iscuss it with the county agent, Mr..
AdsmOnd, and in every way possible
nform yourself so as to be able to act

MAKING PROGRESS
SELLING LIBERTY
BONDS IN COUNTY
BANKS TO ADOPT LIBERAL POL
ICY IN FINANCING THE
SALES HERE.
MT. PEASANT NAMES COMMITTEE
Prominent Business Men Of That Sec
ton Undertake to Arouse the Peo-
pIe-Hampshire Makes Splendid
Report.

Another splendid meeting of the
bankers of the county and the central
committee was held at the Maury Ma
ional Bank on Tuesday afternoon in
he interest of the sale of Liberty
Loan bonds. In addition to those who
we're present at the initial meeting on
Saturday, the Spring Hill Bank was
represented by both President E. H..
Ayres, ST., and Cashier E. H. Ayres,
Jr.
Good reports we're received from va
'ious places in the county, the banner
eport coming from Cashier G. A.
Ross, of Hampshire, who declared that
the committee named in that section
had gone to work with unusual en-
husiasm and that he was sure that
the Tenth district would do its whole
part in taking the obligations of the
government.
The question of financing the band
issue to people in the county who did
not have the ready money to buy the
bonds was taken up and discussed and
it was agreed that the banks would
offer specially reasonable inducements
to those who borrowed money for this
purpose.
The Mt. Pleasant bankers also made
a fine report. They have appointed =
strong committee that has agreed to
go to work with energy and enthu
siasm to see that the Seventh district
takes it part of the loan in this coun
ty. The following strong committee
has been named for that section:
Judge Frank M. Ricketts,, e. Dan
Smith, ]. Tate Jenkins, Former Mayor
James A. English, ". H. Kittrell, c..
A. Brownlow, of The Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, and D. w. Shofner. Of
the First National Bank.
Other committees will be named
and by next registration day, June 5th,
there will be a committee in every
district to sell these bonds.

DR.. WATTS APPEAL.
Episcopal Rector Tells OF The Rela
tics of the Church to the Issues
OF This War.

DR.. George O. Watts, rector of st..
Peters church, preached thrilling
sermon at the eleI en- o'clock service
Sunday morning. His remarks rang
with patriotism and his appeal to the
people was telling. Mr.. Watts took as
his text And who shall hearken unto
you in this matter? For as his share

baggage, they shall share alike

"This was the ruling that the outlaw
David made when his soldiers quar-
relied over the division of the spoils
Of BATTLE said the speaker in the
course of his remarks, land the same
applies to the present-day crisis. The
man who gives his whole duty to the
cultivation of the soil, the man who
buys liberty loan bond, the man who
promotes the welfare of the country
in any way, the woman with the
needle, the woman who tends the gar
den and makes the country more pro-
1uctive, are just as much patriots as
the man who shoulders the gun and
goes to the front There has got to

The others do the fighting. The WON
IN can do things to make the soldiers
life more pleasant. The men can by
liberty loan bonds so as to enable the
government to prosecute this war"
One of the most telling passages in
the sermon was when he referred to
the church's conn cton with the war,
as follows: IF patriotism ia part of
religion, and rendering unto Caesar is
as much spiritual duty as rendering
unto God, then it is right for the
church to appeal to the public to help
in this war by buying liberty bonds. |
If liberty bonds are not bought volun-
tarily, then the bonds of tyranny will
be forced upon US. Every man can
buy bond. They are arranged in |
denominations within the financial |
grasp of the majority Of our people,"

Congregations Are Urged To Aid In
Every Way Possible to Spread the
News of the Military Registratios,
On June 5.

At many pulpits in the county on
Sunday preachers called attention to
the military registration on Tuesday,
June 5, and urged that every patriotic
citizen cooperate in every way with
the government and the sheriff to
make the registration complete in
every respect. They also asked the
citizens to give the widest possible
publicity to the date for the registra-
ton.
In the same pulpits many OF the
preachers also directed the attention
of the members Of their CONGREGATIONS
to the governments need for money
with which to prosecute this war for
world democracy. They spoke Of. the
liberty loan to the government, of the
great triumph for democracy if that
loan should be several times over
subscribed. They asked that the pco-
pie volunteer their money for the
cause of humanity.
The action of the preachers upon
he two important matters will be
very valuable to the government. In
practically every pulpit in the county
where there is preaching on next Sun
lay, attention will be called to the
registration on the following Tuesday.
