COMMON CAUSE CALLS FOR IN,
DlVlDUAL SACRIFICE 4

It is highly important that the public
understand the difficult and grave duty
that has been placed upon the exemp-
tion boards. That the members OF
these boards realize fully the serious
responsibility resting upon them and
win meet it fairly, faithfully and fear
lessly, we have no reason 10 doubt.
A circular letter to the local boards
from the provost marshal general, in
suucting them in regard TO exemp-
tions, should be read by every citizen.
We call special attention TO the follow
ing excerpts from it:
War demands individual sacrifice to
the common cause. No people ever
approached war with a calmer appre-
citation of that sacrifice or a firmer
resolve to bear it and to present them
selves to be classified for service in
the place to which it shall best serve
the common good to call them This
calm determination could not exist
were it not for the confidence of the
nation in its institutions. In this pub
lie confidence is found the very spirit
of the Selective Service Law. The
most sacred rights Of country home
and family are entrusted for adjudica-
ton to local citizens and officials,
nominated by State Governors and ap-
pointed by the President. The most
equitable rules that could be devised
l4ave been prescribed for guidance, and
the administration of these rules and
the sacrifice that is offered by your
neighbors is entrusted to your hands,
From every one is demanded sac
rifice But there IS one thought to
be kept always in your mind The
selected man offers his life. There
is no greater giving than this; and
that thought should guide you always,
There may be few who will urge
upon you claims for exemption or dis
charge that, whatever may be your
inclinations Of sympathy or affection,
you will know ought not to be granted
It will strengthen you to remember

PROVIDE Feed FOR
THE WINTER MONTHS
Store Feed Is So High-Priced
1t Is Almost Prohibitive
To Farmers.

During August and September
1.-The farmer should find time to pro.
vide feed for the late fall and win
ter months. Many farmers have a
few hogs for killing purposes. Store
feed is so high-priced that it is almost
prohibitive. The only cheap feed
that can be had this year is pasture,
and it canOot be had unless plant
ing is done this month and next.
Nothing will make more hog pas
ture than rape, if it is seeded on
good soil and especially on soil that
is inclined to be moist. An acre
of rape ought to furnish one-half the
pasture for five or six One-hundred
pounds shoats throughout the entire
winter The seed Of rape is conf
parativeiy cheap, which is a big
item this season. Rape makes
splendid mixture with red rust-proof
oats or winter wheat as a winter
grazing crop
The cotton middles on at least
lew acres should be sown to wheat,
oats or rye, 1t will cut out much
Of the feed bill for the horse, mule
and COW
Extra care should be taken this
season to save clover alfalfa and
pea crops in good shape. Because
# a large amount of water that the
stems of these crops contain they
are always hard to cure, When
cut with the mower they should be
raked up into windrows just as soon

Bob Patty was arrested by

last Tuesday evening in the pos
session of some of the intoxicat-

was carried before Esq. I. b.
Roddy for trial. The evidence of
the case was given in as follows:
The prosecutor sheriff Eli Handy
swore that the defendant had in
his possession part of a quart
of whiskey which the sheriff did
not produce at the trial, bu t
said he had locked in the Bank.
The defendant swore that he had
no whiskey in his possession and
the first thing that he was ap-
prised of was that he was under
arrest by the sheriff. The trial
was brought before Esq. L. B.
Roddy and the defendant proved
by reliable witnesses that he had
no whiskey in his possession and
the only witness the sheriff had
was a Mr.. Smith who was charg-
ed with s'-~ery and was under
