The acreage planted to staple gar
den crops in this valley this year Is
more than double that of any previ-
Gus year. according to estimate made
by persons who have been travelling
about the county a good deal during
the past few days. Much yet re-
mains to be planted, however, and it
is believed that the acreage devoted
to staple vegetables and kindred
plans will be 200 per cent greater
than ever before.

Plant Now To Win
County Fair Prizes

following circular 10 Lne ScnOOl cnll-
dren of Jackson county regarding the
prizes to be awarded at the county
fair for agricultural displays:
To Girls and Boys:
In making preparation for the fairs
Of the coming season, we should
keep in mind something more than
the mere matter of making exhibits,
something more than the winning of
a prize. There are several points to
keep in mind. The following ones
are listed in what is considered the
order of their Importance: The first,
no doubt, should be given more con-
sideration than all the others COM
bined:
1. We should work to produce
those things which will be of most
use to our country. We know that
every true American boy and girl
wants to do his or her part at this
time. There was never greater
opportunity to do patriotic service
than that which confronts us now.
2. We should bear in mind that
if we produce the things which are
needed, we shall find a ready market
for them at good prices. But even
if we produce only for our own home
use, we are reducing our own home
expenses and at the same time saving
certain amount of drain from the
general stock of supplies.
3. Anyone who produces some
thing of real value is sure to gain
knowledge, training and habits that
will be of inestimable value to him
all the rest of his life.
4. Those who do real service as
producers will receive recognition as
being persons who are not only good,
but good for something. They them

ny HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August s.-(Special,
The new national army. figurativels
speaking, will be volunteer army after
all.
This is the conclusion that many promi-
nent members of Congress are reaching
They contend that the man who is
drafted and eventually serves will serve
as result of voluntary submission to
the dictates of law.
They contend that the government could
not and would not attempt to prosecute
several hundred thousand men-the num-
Der of towards and siackers who, by
crooked methods or political pull" will
escape their obligation.
While the department OF justice declares
that it will prosecute every man who
does not respond to the call. it Is com
mon knowledge that the department OF
justice has insufficient machinery to pros
ecute men to the number of thousands
The rapid mobilization of the national
army will be effected-if it is effected
rapidly-by the patriots of the country
unselfishly responding to sense of duty
rather than a sense of fear.
This is the belief of members of Con-
gress who have always contended that
battles can only be won by those in
spired by patriotic fervor. or sentimental
love of duty and country.
