The war-news, of the past week, thrilled us and filled our heart with joy. The allies were victorious every day and all the time, and kept the Germans on the run from early morn until late at night. capturing many and killing more. And, in this gre 1t work, our own American boys took a leading part. The Germans, who once spoke light ly of American valor and Ameri- can assistance to the allies, have awakened to a realization of the fact that they are up against something, good and strong, when they come in contact with our forces on the battlefield.

WORK UP TO THELASTD DAY.

It is the disposition of a good
 many men, when they are draft ed for army service, to stop work and sit down and await the
 call to go to the training camp. This should not be the case; but, on the other hand, the drafted man should work right on up to the day he is called to board the tain for the camp. He should bear in mind that to help win the war his production is just
 about as essential as his fighting, and when he contributes some. thing by his labor to the wealth of his country he is helping out to win the war, in the end. In the daft, just closed, there are thousands and thousands of men

If all the cruel and inhuman acts charged to the Germans are true, then, indeed, is Germany a race of worse than barbarians, and should be plotted from the face of the earth. If these in- stances of barbarity are individ- ual and isolated, it is up to Ger many, as Government, to have 1t stopped and dispense with the perpetrators. If Germany does not do this, the evidence is sui ficieat 10 condemn the whole na- tion, and the day of retribution Is close at hand.

Try out a few acres and have something to live on anoth- CT year, or take your chances on another corn-erop and risk a drouth next summer? In times like these 1t behooves us all to try out every plan that promises the least success. If one fails, another may win.

American Government Sets The
 Pace That All Must Follow.

Recent news dispatched from Wash. i ington shows tremendously increased activities on the part of the various Governmental Departments, looking toward placing millions of men, be- yond the first estimate, in France. The men in Class are being called rapidly and the draft age being extended means thousands places must be filled quickly Ill the business offices, because business must go on, supplies must be furnished both for the men at the front and tie people who back them up at home. Boys who are not in the military age, mesl l@hp are not physically fit to serve, and women whose hus, bands have gone to the front, and girls should consider this matter seriously and act quickly. Women and young men who possess the right training will re- ceive ready welcome in Government offices, Banks, Insurance Offices, Busl ness Houses and Rail Road Offices. Whether you must earn your living or not, it is worth while to be able to do so and in these strenuous days of war conditions, thousands of women and young men will periodically fill these positions vacated by their brothers and husbands who have gone and are go- ing. Efficient preparation counts in making your time valuable to yourself and your services valuable to your country. The newspapers from day to- day show this need. Will you spend a few months with the Tyler College' Tyler, Texas, Americas largest Com mercial School, and secure the training that will fit you fer doing, in the best way, the work that is so urgently de- handed, by taking Bookkeeping, Short hand, Business Administration and Finance, Cotton Chasing and Photography?

Five bushels of wheat for every person, one bushel for seed and two to export is what must be grown this year The acreage in Drew county mlst be increas- el if the part of this task that has been assigned us is done. The 1916 surplus carried us through one year, the strictest economy and use of substitutes carried us through another year, but found the surplus lower than at any other time in recent years. Drew County farmers can and should grow wheat on small scale and help in bringing up the quota that has been assigned to us in the 1919 Liberty grain crop.

s. S. CONVENTION
WILL Be HELD AT
PRESTON NEXT WEEK

The Webster County Sunday School
convention will be held on Saturday
and Sunday, March 23rd and oath at
the Mount Olive Methodist church, at
Chambliss. Ga. The indications are
that this will be one of the best
Sunday school meetings ever held in
the county This is an interdenomina
tional meeting and the Sunday school
workers of all denominations are
urged to attend
Two of the state Sunday school
worers will be present and speak at
each session of the convention and
are as follows: Mr.. D. w. Sims, gen.
eral secretary and Miss Flora Davis,
assistant secretary.
Mr.. SINS probably knows more about
the Sunday school work than any
other man in the state. For almost
six years he has been general Sec
rotary of the Georgia Sunday School
association and the work has gone
forward at a rapid pace. One of the
most interesting addresses Mr.. Sims
will make while at the convention will
be on the Sunday school work in the
state, showing the conditions, needs
and progress of the work. Mr.. Sims
| is always welcomed enthusiastically
by the Sunday school workers where.
ever he goes on account of his practi
cal and instructive addresses deliver
ed in such an unique and humorous
way.
All adult Bible class workers should
he sure to hear Miss Davis, the as
sistant secretary, as she is an expert
| along this line For a number OF
years she was an active member OF
one of the largest womens Bible
classes in Alabama and knows organ
II lied class work from a practical point
Of view She has been connected with
the Georgia Sunday School associa-
ton for more than five years and few
people in the state can deliver bet
ter addresses on adult Bible class
work, or any other phase off Sunday
school work, than Miss Davis. She is
very original as we'll as practical
speaker.

Darling, when / am far away
From you, Somewhere in France, u
l ask you to always think of me,
And pray that I have a chance.
To leave you, dear, was hard;
The hardest thing of all,
But I am no Stacker,
4 When I hear my country's call.
To be at home with you, little girl,
It's happiness that's true.
But cannot see the Germans
Down the Red, White and Blue"
I'd like to be with you often,
These beautiful happy days,
To think that am so far awy.
But now IL makes me due
Some day in the far future
This conflict will end,
And the soldier boy that loves you
Will come to you again.
IT'S the duty of every girl
Who is left behind,
To always, always think of the boy
she loves,
Who is on the firing line.
He did not want to leave you,
For he is going to risk his life
He is a true American,
And upholds the Stars and Stripes
told you when kissed you,
Those lips of yours so sweet,
That I was going to leave you,
And again we may never meet :.
Don't give me up, my darling,
If you love me you will wait.
If We don't meet on earth again,
We will meet at the golden gate.
Some girls are not so patient,
Who will not wait so long,
viii go and love a Stacker
When their soldier boy is gone.
When he goes to fight the battle,
For his country and for you,
His heart is always resting
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to come,
And finds that you were false,
His whole life will be ruined,
And his happiness is lost.
Do not bear this stain, little girl,
Make your love be true.
Green the "boy in khaki"
When he comes marching back to
you.
Throw your arms about him,
Let him kiss your sweet little lipe,
And he will joyfully tell you
All about his wonderful trips
