Buy Bonds on
Volunteer Days

Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28th
and 29th, have been designated by the
Liberty Loan organization of the
Eighth Federal Reserve District, as
Volunteer Days" This means that
the two opening days for the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive have been set
aside for the voluntary purchase of
Liberty Loan Bonds. 1t is presumed
that there are many who would pre-
fer to voluntarily come forward and
subscribe for as many bonds as they
are able to take, rather than to wait
to be solicited to perform this duty.
The full quota of bonds apportioned
to st. Francois county must be sub
scribed, even though it should require
STRONG" personal solicitation to sell
them. There is no better or safer in
vestment possible than Liberty Loan
Bonds, and it is your plain duty to
buy them until you "bleed," if neces-
sary. But later on the Liberty Bonds
will furnish the antidote for the small
sacrifice you may have been forced to
endure by making sueh purchase, for
your country's good.
Would it not be splendid--yes, an
inspiring rec0fd--lf this county's full
quota of Liberty Loan Bonds should
be subscribed during the two "Volun-
teer Days?" Would that not be a
patriotic accomplishment? 1t can and
should be done. 1t is up to the citi-
zens of this county to say whether or
not this great work shall be accomp-
lished by volunteer subscriptions.
Such subscriptions would be really
adding your personal assistance to
the boys cover there" in their heroic
fight against the hun menace. DR.. C.
A. Tetley is sales manager, while the
sales force is composed of the follow
ing gentlemen: Ed. Klein, Charles
Guessing, Sr., E. J. Mckinney, Milton
Spaugh, ]. NJ. Morris and Henry
Manley.
Arrangements have also been made
for the taking of Liberty Bond sub
scriptions in, all the churches on "Vol-
unteer" Sunday. This truly patriotic
work should be put "over the top" in
st. Francois county during the two
Volunteer Days"

Perry County
Farmers Organize

J. X. Jones, District Farm Agent,
with headquarters in Pennington, re-
turned Monday evening from Perry
vile, where he had just completed the
organization of the farmers of Perry
county into Farm Bureau, in which
splendid work he had able assistance
from the Council of Defense of that
county, as we'll as from the CONNER
cial Club Of Perryville. Mr.. Jones
feels grateful to all those who ten
dered their assistance in the organi-
cation of the Perry county farmers,
and especially to the chairman of the
Council of Defense does he extend
heartiest thanks. He recommends
such chairman as one of the most en-
ergetic and progressive citizens he has
found in his entire district; with such
men, Mr.. Jones says, nothing it i'm
possible. He also reports that two
members of the county court also
joined the organization, which will in
sure the help of the court in keeping
up the organization.
During his residence in Farming
ton Mr.. Jones has demonstrated that
he is the right man for the work in
which he is engaged, as he has already
accomplished much for the organiza-
ton of Farm Bureaus in several ad-
jacent counties. He was called We'd
nesday to Wayne county to assist in
the work of organizing the farmers in
both Wayne and Reynolds counties,
though those counties are outside of
his district. Such demand for his SER
vices, however, indicates that his work
brings results.

Again Failed to
Adjust Matters

,C..I. Garrett and W. A. Mitchell,
Presiding and Associate Judges of the
County Court of st. Francois county,
accompanied by Prosecuting Attorney
Thos. A. Mathews, were in st. Louis
Saturday on appointment to meet
with the manager of the Garford No
tor Truck Co., Of that city, in an at
tempt to adjust the trouble that has
arisen over the purchase by the Co,pi-
ty Court of the large motor truck and
two trailers, which purchase had been
made for county road work. The
truck and trailers have failed to full
fill the guarantee that was furnished
with them, but up to the present time
the County Court has failed to se-
cure satisfactory adjustment Of the
differences that exist against the
company.
On arriving at the offices of the
company, the manager was found to
be out Of the city. A hurry-up call
was sent him, and lie was reported to
have returned to his Office that eve-
ming. In the meantime, however,
Judges Garrett and Mitchell and
the Prosecuting Attorney had become
tired of waiting, and could not be
found, consequently no meeting was
had. They returned home consider
ably disgusted and discouraged over
another failure to arrive at a friendly
agreement in regard to the purchase
of such road machinery, and one of
the Judges expressed himself to a
Times reporter as being of the opin-
ion that he thought a law suit would
be necessary in order to force the
Garford Motor Truck Co. to live up to
their contract, and intimated that
such suit would perhaps soon be
filed,

Progressive Dinner

One of the most enjoyable events
of the past week was a progressive
dinner party given in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. W. w. Caldwell, prior to
their leaving for California to make
their home. The event was planned
by a number of Mr.. and Mrs. Cald-
wells most intimate friends and
church associates and was sprung
upon the honor guests as a surprise.
The latter were invited to the home
of Mayor and Mrs. c. B. Lamkin
on Oak street at dinner, where the
covers were laid for fifteen guests.
The decorations of the table were
in green and white, and after the
soup course was served, one of the
guests remarked as the hosts appar-
emily we're not going to serve any
thing further they should adjourn to
the home of Mrs e. j. Van SAINT, also
en- Oak street, and see If anything
could be procured there in the way
of eatables Accordingly, the whole
company made the journey, where
they found the table beautifully laid
for a salad course, with decorations
of red roses, which was served by
Mrs. Van SAINT and Mrs. L. e. Bag
ley. Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwewll by this
time realized the plan of the enter
tainment, but were at loss to know
where the next course would take
them. This was the meat course, and
was served at the home Of Mrs. A.
Schuerman, on First street, by the
latter, Mrs. +. ]. Shinn and Mrs. j.
w. Mccoy. Gold of ophir roses form
ed the decorations and the colors

ed. After partaking of the course,
it was announced that the company
would assemble to the coolest home
in Ashland This turned out to be
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
Winter, where the warm welcome ac-
corded belief the chilly title applied
to it. The guests were ushered into
the dining room where the table was
beautifully decorated with pink roses
and pink streamers. For place cards
each guest was provided with small
parcel, which on being opened, dis
played a hat which they were re-
quested to wear while eating their
desert. Mirth and gaiety marked the
occasion, despite the fact that the
thoughts of parting would frequent
ly creep in. A friendship book in
which all the guests present inscrib-
ed their names was presented to Mr..
and Mrs. Caldwewll to remind them
in their far away home of the as
semblage of their Ashland friends.
