Shiloh Notes

We are having some cool weather at present. All work is progressing nicely and the price of cotton is fine, but our feed crop is short. If we had our feed we would be in fine shape for another year.
 There was a gathering at Shiloh on Friday night last, called by the Farm Demonstrator MT. Farrar. His motive was to get the farmers interested in wheat growing, If the farmers would plant a few acres of wheat and sorghum and more corn and hay, old Monroe county could be independent. With it's flour, molasses and plenty of corn and

boil weevil so much and it would not take so much cotton, for our old smoke houses would be moved from the neighboring towns back to their former places, which means at home, where they should be. There is another side to this thing. the landlord owns the land and the renter has to pay whatever he says for the use of his land and if he, the landlord, sees fit at any time he rents the other man the land that you are working and you must move and your wheat crop is no good, for wheat must be planted in the fall to do well and you can't get moved in time to plant your wheat, so there it is. If every one that could. would plant some wheat and not so much cotton, times would be better.
 We are enjoying the prices that we are getting for our cotton and other products.
 The subscription to the Red Cross fund, by the Shiloh Sunday School, has been paid in full by the Supt. and we are proud of our Sunday School work. Our subscription was $100 for that noble cause.
 There was quite few of the Shiloh singers visited the White Church class on Saturday night last and were shown a nice time. We enjoy being with big hearted people like they are.

Go to Room 200 American
National Bank Building and
Enlist In the u. S. Nauy

A United States navy recruiting
station will open for business this
morning at room 209 in the American
National Bank building, with Labois-
siere, G. NJ, first-class, in charge.
This station is a sub-recruiting sta
ton established by the head district
station in Montgomery. Since the
United States has entered the war
over a hundred young men have en-
listed in the navy from Pensacola,
despite the fact that there has been
no regular navy recruiting station
here or any special attempt on the
part of the officers at the navy sta
ton made to get men. Men who
have gone out to the navy yard to en-
list in the navy have had to dc
through with considerable trouble
and red tape to get in, and now that
there is a regular recruiting station
in the city, and two navy men there
to take care of applicants and give
them attention, the business of get
ting into the navy will be a fairly
easy matter.
Applicants received at this station
will be forwarded to the head station
in Montgomery for final physica
examination and acceptance

ARGENTINE GREAT
HELP IN The WAR

South America is coming gradually
into line in the war against Ger
many. Argentina is on the verge OF
entering, and if Argentina gets IN 1t
will mean the addition of 100000 sol
dies, more than 40 warships and the
expectation of vast quantities OF
wheat, beef and other products to
the allies.
Argentina can feed 100000 per-
sons a year on wheat alone. With
her animal food there would be
enough for the whole western heml-
sphere, excluding the United States.
Argentina's area is about 1,153,-
600 square miles; its population near
ly 100000.
Shipments to Argentina last year
amounted to about s220,000,000, while
exports from that county rose tc
S540, 100000, leaving balance OF
1920, 100000 in Argentina's favor.
Between 1900 and 1913, German
trade with Argentina increased three
fold while Great Britain's imports
only doubled. Nearly 100000 IL
German trade has been cut off by
| the war.
Argentina's entry may mean Thu
transfer of this trade to the Unitet
States, England and France.
| The Argentine army is based OF
compulsory service for men between
20 and 45 years of age. For the frs
| 10 years, the men are in the active
army, the next ten in the nationa
| guard and the last five years in tn,
territorial guard.
