Thrilled by the secretary's words,
the luncheon guests stopped him with
a volley of applause, then hitched
around to hear him more distinctly,
and see him more distinctly, and set
tied back to enjoy what was coming,
for something told them that they
were going to hear great speech,
and their bunch was right.
Never before" he continued, "has
America stood together with such a
perfectly united sentiment as she
stands today. In republic like ours,
we naturally and necessarily have a
great deal OF politics, which is whole
some and proper, but today even poll
tics have been forgotten. Paraphras-
ing the language OF Thomas Jefferson
the day he was inaugurated, we can
say in this generation and in this great
crisis which we are facing, that we
are all Republicans, we are all Demo-
Gratis, we are all AMERICANS, one
in politics, one in religion, and one in
patriotism.

THRESHING MACHINES MUST
REGISTER

The U. S. Government has issued
orders that all owners of threshing
machines must come to the office
of the Food Administrator in each
county and there register his thresh-
ing machine. This order is made in
order that the machines may be in
spected by a government Official and
they may receive instructions re-
garding threshing records that must
be kept by all owners of such ma
chinery. This law must be given
immediate attention and Mr.. S. s.
Pinney, Food Administrator has re-
quested us to publish this notice and
urge all owners to come in at the
earliest possible moment. This is
important and the sooner attended
to the better.
The proper blanks NAV be secured
at the office of the Food Admins

building formerly occupied by +. c,

CAMPAIGN WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS
wiz Be Inaugurated Next Week
From Monday Until Friday
Throughout County

Judge f. w. Senff, Chairman of
the Montgomery county War Saw
ings Committee, is preparing for the
campaign beginning Monday June
oath. and ending the following Fri
day, during which it is proposed to
have the people of our city and
county pledge themselves to buy
1921, $4,000 of War Savings Stamps
during the remainder Of the year of
1918.
This is our quota and similar
campaign will be waged in every
county in the state. 1t will have to
be broader than the liberty loan
campaigns, owing to the fact that
there is limit placed on the amount
any one person can purchase of
$834.00, which, at maturity, will be
worth 100000. The government
! desired this form of investment,
which is the best ever offered by it,
for the benefit of those persons who
are not able to carry liberty bonds
in large amounts. War Savings
Stamps yield four per cent COM
pounded quarterly and are redeem
able at any, time. This insures those
who have cash for which they have
no immediate use, but which they
want to use later, that they can get
their money, with interest, any time
they need it and they do not fluc-
tuate in value.
In the main the campaign will be
in charge of a committee of ladies,
chosen by Miss George V. Sledd,
F., Chairman Woman's Committee.
Every man, woman and child in
the county should buy some ano
those who are able should buy the
limit. There is no better way to
prove to the government that you
are BACKER and not Il SLACK
Err.
Those who have already bought
the limit are: R. A. Chiles, Mrs. r.

be much question however, about
the "why" of it. Those who stand at
the top will be there simply because
they have put in the persistent and
effective efforts. That's the answer
to every query as to the reason for
Ianyone's success.
The next eighteen days will also
furnish every contestant a pretty
fair line on who their real friends
are. 1t will give them an opportun-
ity to "weed 'em out" You will prob
ably receive support from many I'M
expected sources and fail where you
most expected to find it. This may
be somewhat Disappointing but
don't mind it. If you stop to figure
moment, you can readily see that
every contestant is sup against"
just the same proposition. Just dig
on to the next friend and keep 60
ing. You can't afford to allow any
thing to discourage you now, after
have gone thus far. 1t would be the
height of folly to get discouraged
at this stage of the race.
Who are the successful candi-
dates? Always the live, aggressive,
never say die folks who always go
into everything they undertake with
all the vim and determination they
are capable of commanding. They
throw themselves wholly and heartily
into the struggle. They inspire their
friends with confidence by their
example and keep everlastingly at
1T. Whatever friend or friends en-
tered you in this contest expected
you to get busy and do your level
best to win. If you don't "make
good" theye will be as much disap-
pointed as you will yourself. Don't
let this happen but get busy and
win.

Within eighteen days, all will be
over and the Advocates big Prize
Campaign will be thing of the past
The Importance Of utilizing every
available moment between now and
the close cannot be too strongly en-
phasized. At the present time, the
! race is mighty close and matter OF
one or two subscriptions may be the
deciding factor in determining the
winner of the automobile.
Bear in mind that nothing great
was ever achieved without enthusi-
asm. The best advice we can offer
at this time is to do with might and
main all you possibly can do. Put
your shoulder to the wheel-push
on-keep moving, The race will be
won with energy and enthusiasm.
"When the prize is won at last
Who will count the labors past"
Realize the true value of the re-
naming time at your disposal and
make good use of every moment of
If. Let there be no slackers, no laz-
mess, no procrastination-don't put
off until tomorrow what you can
accomplish today.
Who are your friends9
Don't be discouraged at the apathy
of so-called friends. You will
doubtless meet with several who will
plead various excuses for not ex-
tending you their aid. Bear in mind
the old adage:
"Friends are like melons-shall
we tell you why?
To find one, you must dozen
try"
just a word about the district
prizes. In many instances, they can
be picked up at this period of the
race with little effort. In every
contest, there are a number Of con-
testants who start off with a big
squirt, they are unable to maintain
They invariably lose heart and drop
out Of the race. Now if you get in
at this juncture, it won't be long be-
fore YOU reach the spot whee they
left off and then it is only a matter
Of getting few subscriptions to be
proud possessor of a chest of sill
verware or one of the other valu-
able prizes.
Take your pencil and paper, col
lect your thoughts, put down the
/. names Of all prospective subserib-
ers, map out your territory and
forthwith start anew as it were with
all enthusiasm, vim and energy you
Rad ON the first day you thought OF
winning a valuable prize. A Give
candidate doesn't hesitate about en-
tering the race at this time. The
votes piled up by the leaders do
not appear appalling by any means
