This year the school is giving

have been purchased, and the
first thing that the Boys will
construct will be wood boxes
for their mothers. Then they
expect to construct porch swings
screen doors and windows, SER

Both of these new courses are
progressing nicely.

SAYS GERMANY
is TRYING TO
RUN Her BLUFF
American Prisoners Will Not
Be Executed, Says
Lansing

The American government in
reply to Germany's threat to
execute American prisoners of
war found in possession Of shot
guns, Monday gave notice that
if Germany carries out any such
threat suitable reprisals will be
taken.
Secretary Lansing's reply,
made public Tuesday, declares
that the use of shotguns is sane
toned by The Hague conventions
and that in comparison with
other weapons now used in mod
ern warfare the shotguns used
by the American troops cannot
be the subject of legitimate or
reasonable protest.
"If the German government
should carry out it's threat in a
single instance" says Secretary
Lansing's reply, 1T will be the
right and duty of the United
States to make such reprisals
as will best protect the Ameri-
car forces, and notice is hereby
given of the intention of the gov
ernment Of the United States to
make such reprisals. "

STONE COUNTY
TAKES STEP TO
BAR INFLUENZA
Close Watch Being Kept to
Prevent Spreading
Disease

Although very few cases have
been reported in the state,
Stone County is already taking
steps to prevent the spread of
influenza, a disease which is
causing serious trouble through
out the country just now.
DR.. S. G. Culpepper, county
health officer, has ordered the
principals of all Consolidated
Schools in Stone county to
Immediately send any student
home who seems to be affected
with the slightest cold, the doc
or pointing out that this being g
where influenza originates.
ALTHOUGH the child, or person.
may have only a slight cold, but
I am taking every precaution, F"
said the doctor, and with the
cooperation of the schools and
their PRINCIPALS there is no rea-
son why Stone county cannot
prevent entirely the epidemic
now infesting most every part
of the country. So far not a case
of influenza has been reported
to me-"
Influenza itself, DR.. Culpep-
per says, is not such a serious
disease but the tendency toward
development of fatal complica-
tions, such as pneumonia and
menigitis is the serious effects
of it. The doctor states also that
the treatment of influenza is
simple, but because Of the dan
ger of omplications it is exceed
ingly important that the proper
treatment be installed at once,
Thousands of cases of influen-
"a have been reported through
out the country and it appears
that the greater number of cases
are found in the different army
training camps. The epedemic,
as reported, by government and
state officials has not caused
many deaths, but every precau-
ton is being taken to prevent its
spreading.

Stillmore gave total of $4,000
subscribed. Our quota was
$38,200.00. Outlying districts
had not been heard from at that

While the committee appre-
ciates the loyal and prompt
response to the appeal of the
Government for funds they re-
alize that the quota assigned to
the County was too little in
com parison with others near by
and they unanimously decided
to keep up the good work until
every person IN the county had
been solicited or has voluntarily
subscribed. If any person has
not bought as many bonds as
they should they are urged to
see Salesman at once and
place their subscription.
A complete record is being
kept of all subsc criptions and
those not subscribing who are
able to do so will be persuaded,
if possible, to do their full duty
