that every letter which goes to sol

All For the War
The funds raised by the sale of these

tuberculosis has actually become a
serious obstacle to victory. The ex-
perience of France, England and Cana
da. and of all the warning nations, is
that tuberculosis is among the worst
enemies of armies.
Many Victims in France
In France alone, 100000 soldiers
have been invalided back from the
trenches with tuberculosis and the
of cases among the civilian
has increased enormously
with the war.
Among the 'Kejects"
A startling and alarming condition
in our country was suddenly revealed
when physicians began examining
drafted men. Thousands upon thou
sands of cases of active tuberculosis
were discovered. 1t is now con-
estimated that fully two
per cent of the entire 100000 men
subject to draft will be found to have
active tuberculosis, most of the cases
being hiterto wholly unsuspected. This
will mean that the country will have
fully 100000 young men of draft age
who will be rejects" on account OF
Something must be done

Mr.. Boom to accompany the greetings
of the members which were also voted.

The flesh wounds above the knee al

fractures are all about knitted, and |

ize it. This will take several months,
at least, and it will doubtless be a
long time before the leg will be
strong again.

HOW WAR SPIRIT
GROWS IN WEST
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ARGUS
ED BY REPORTS BROUGHT
FROM THE EAST
DIR. L|NDLEY. IISPEAKS
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DENFENSE
INDORSED - FOOTBALL
BOYS H0NORED

War spirit dominated the meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce today.
DR.. Lindley spoke of his experiences
at the national capital, the deepening
of the war spirit he noted there. In
the national capital, he said, men in
the foreign uniform of the allies. He
said the east was up to its neck in
the war and it was very serious.
"ShOwer of Bullets"
DR.. Lindley spoke of the address of
Hoover which he described as a
shower of bullets of the stress he
laid on food as factor in winning
the war. The absolute necessity for
conserving food was emphasized.
go to the soldiers who always get the
best, but to their women and children
at home. Soldiers will not fight if
they feel that their women and chill
dren are starving at home. This was
the fundamental trouble in Russia
the soldiers quit fighting and laid
were starving at home.
Price of Wheat and Bread
DR.. Lindley quoted Hoover as saying
that while the price of wheat had in
creased 100 per cent in the last three
year period, the price of bread had
increased but l21a per cent and farm
machinery 100 per cent
The doctor said he met men who eX-
pressed their determination to. make
all the money possible and then spend
every dollar for victory. He spoke
of the war spirit in this community
as shown in the organization of the
Council Council of Defense, a spirit
that indicated that this community
would make every ounce Sf it's energy
count against the enemy.
When Pacifists Fight
DR.. Lindley said he came of a paci-
fist stock-Quakers. He had seen
uldny Sucn WHO udu UeSn over III bt4-
gium and elsewhere at the front, men
who had been completely transformed;
men whose one desire was to get to the 4,
front and kill because they realized |
that they were opposed to beasts not
men, and that there was but one way
1ut except through death.
NJ. E. Lewis told briefly of the form
alton of the County Council of De-
tense and asked for the support of the |
county and the chamber in register
ing the men and women for patriotic
service. He was assured that the
Chamber of Commerce was with him
to the finish.
Honor Football Boys
c. L. Jain spoke of the fine work !
done by the U. of /. football team this I
year. He said many of the boys
would soon enlist, and that they would |
light just as hard for their country

PREPAREDNESS AT HOME.

The word preparedness" is virtually
new to the American people, although
it's usage has now come into promin-
ence. Self-preservation is tantamount
to preparedness, and the natural ten
denotes of man is to prepare himself
against an enemy. In health, the wise
man takes precautions, and in illness
he battles for life through physicians.
In his home he plans against the
weather elements, and on the streets
he resorts to common acts to safe
guard himself So it is that prepared
ness is essential, and America as a
nation has been slow in the processes.
But, there is another preparedness
for this section of Georgia, and it is
against the boil weevil 1t is 10 Ne
admitted that the menace has no fears
for some people-they always wonder
after the storm has passed. AS whole
the people, especially the business men,
realize the gravity of the situation
and they are exerting extraordinary
means and movements to thwart the
maximum destructive powers of the
toll weeviI.
In Sumter county meetings have
been held, but in a way interest has
seemed to lag. Crop conditions are
not favorable now, and the very first
article of war on the boil weevil calls
for early planting. The rains have
delayed blowing, and with the high
cost of living having invaded even the
farmers monarchy there is an occa-
sion for stern meditation and consid
Grafton.
Various departments of our state
and federal government have carried
the anti-boll weevil crusade into this
section There may be differences as
TO the good being accomplished, and
where departments enter into politics
there are always charges of incompe-
tency which turn into counter charges.
This time the State College of Agri-
Culture, at Athens. comes with Hog
and Hominy Campaign and Boil Wee
Ill Crusade" They are preparedness
meetings. They are among the last
supreme appeals for the maximum
energy to We expended.
At the New Ira school house, at
plains. Leslie end Sumter this week,
meetings will be held. The news col
umns will tell CT the details. But
these are acute times and the patriot
ism comes in other circles than when
the flag of a nation is attacked. 1t IS
self-preservation with us.

The gains Of the British on the west
ern front, mainly in the Ancre region,
are. partially brought about by German
retirements, which serve the same pur-
pose for the allies, and at an exceeding
" less cost. The Germans are on the
verge of giving up Bapaume to the
British, as they have retired from full
possession with John Bull proving a
menace to its future possession by the
Kaiser. The general tendency along
all of the fronts seems to show that
the Kaiser is retiring and being grad
ually pushed back. OF course. new
phase of the war will come should the
Entente succeed in waging a campaign
