STOCK-RAISING.

To the young man of the pres
 Tt day, with ability and adapta. biiItv, stock-raising offers the finest opportunity of all other vacations. It is better than merchandising. banking or the professions. Both cattle and hogs are high, and will remain so for years to follow; and 1t costs no more to raise them now than it did years ago. This writ CT made some money out of cat tie at two and two and a quarter
 cents per pound, and out of hogs at even less; and now, that both of these are selling around sev- enteen cents per pound, on the

Postoffice Service Crippled.

The Spanish Influenza played sad havoc with the service in the Post Office here last week. One of the Clerks, in the office, and three of the Rural Carriers were sick with the disease. With the carriers off duty and no others to be had to take their places, entailed extra work on the Post Office, and with reduced force the office had a strenuous time. Of course it was impossible, under the circumstances, to give per feet service; but by working overtime, and hard, the patrons were given reasonably good ser vice in the Post Office.

Treat The Acid Soil With Lime

An acid soil favors the growth of saw briars. sorrel and sedges. Such soil is particularly un- favorable tn the growth of our staple farm crops. If 90 per cent of our soils are acid, some method of correcting the acidity should be followed up. Lime is the efficient remedy for such condition.
 Test the soil for acidity. Ask the County Agent for a few strips of blue litmus paper. Take this to the field where the soil is to be tested, dig down to moist earth and insert the strip

In our opinion (and we have just as much right to express an opinion as any other American
 citizen) the world war is practi- cally over, and about all that re- mains to be done is to arrange the details for the German sur render and do the shouting. The Germans are being sorely
 pressed and badly whipped on every battlefront, and their hitherto allies have melted away, as snow-fakes beneath q burn- ing sun. Bulgaria and Turkey are out and Austri-Hungary beg
 ging for peace, it leaves Germa- ny, solitary and alone, like Ad-
 am's recollection of his fall
 Hence, we prophecy the early
 ending of the greatest conflict i'll
 the worlds history. And, what
 should inspire in every patriotic
 bosom in this country feeling
 of pride and elation, is the im-
 portant part that the American
 armies have played in bringing about the glorious result. There is no question that the cruel and Ibarbarous Hun has been brought l to his knees, and will soon be appealing for mercy to his victo- rious foes. The Germans have
 been taught the lesson that they
 are not indomitable and that Christian civilization still rules the world.

Letter from France.

Rev. $. R. Twitty has a letter from his nephiew, Lieutenant Herbert Pullen, in which he pays tribute to the war work activities as follows: "The Red Cross is certainly doing fine work over here. The hospital here is full of wounded officers and men, and there is no request too little to receive prompt at- tention. They visit the wards daily, giving papers and maga- zines from the States, tooth brushes, etc., ,-in fact everything to make up for your not being at home. One has to see the really great work they are doing to fully appreciate it. Similar work is being done by the Y. M. |C. A. and the Knights of Colum- bus.

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
 The campaign to raise $17O,50O,OOO for the United War Work campaign will begin next Monday, November 11th and run one week.
 This money is for the following organizations Who are looking after the boys at the front and in countless ways contributing to their health and comfort and to their moral and ma terial welfare: The Y. M. c. A.; the Y. w. c. A.; National Catholic Way Council; Jewish Welfare Board; War Camp Community Service; American Library Association; and the Salva- tion Army. The campaign for these various agencies were combined at the request of President Wilson. More than half the total, or $100,0O0,o0O, goes to the Y. M. C. A. The remain der is divided among the other organ izations on a percentage basis ac- cording to the scope of their work. There are only two sectarian organ izations represented in the list, the Catholic War Council and the Jewish Welfare Board, but those who are dis posed to raise quibble on this point should remember that the Catholics and Jews will probably put in con- siderably more than they get out un- der this arrangement. All the agen- cies are doing very necessary and strictly non-sectarian work and must by all means have the support of the home people.
 Drew county's quota in this big drive is $15,O00. Let us not fall down. We have hundreds of boys lover there" from our own county and we MUST stand behind them.
 The following organization has been perfected in this county:
 County Chairman, Rev. Flournoy Shepperson; Vice Chairman, Mrs. Joe s. Harris; Executive Committee, Flournoy Shepperson, R. L. Hyatt, H. P. Cruce, J. D. McCloy; Treasurer, Warner c.

Wheat sown now on a well pre- pared, but firm seed bed at the rate of one and one half bushels per acre should make a good crop. An application of about 200 pounds of acid phosphate and some stable manure will make profitable increase in yields. Wheat sown with a drill rather than broadcast will yield from 10 to % per cent more grain. Even if the world should be at peace when the crop is harvested, the grain will be needed. Sow some wheat now.

The fall Irish potato crop is good in Drew County. This crop should be
 carefully harvested and stored. A good part of the seed supply for next year should come from this, since a recent
 port by the State Marketing Agent and the Plant Patholegist made after a visit to tho sced potato districts states that the seed pot;.to supply for next year is not good.
 Line the baskets with old burlap pags and pick up DO t t s n these to prevent bruising the pstato. Gull cut all diseased or bruised potatoes before storing the crop fer the winter. These eulls will be good for home use now or will make good stock eeed. and the good potat9as will be protected from con- tamination that would come through these diseased or injured roots.
 The peanut hos proven its worth as crop fer t'lis section again this wear. Yields have been good of both the hay and nuts. Tie 30i1 acres of his crop in Drew county this year will produce as much as 1900 900 pounds of pork or furnish feed for
 .ner animals that will produce meat of equal value.
 A recent experiment at the Experi- ment Station of our State shows pea nut meal to be better supplement to corn ra,ion for f:.ttening hogs than Is tankage or velvet bean meal. Greater gains were ms.~e with the peanut meal at less cost. At the close of the test, the hogs were shown at the National Swine Show and later sold, topping the market for that day These hogs were only two crosses from the native stock.
 The members of the Boys and Girls clubs of the county are in the service of Uncle Sam. They have been faith ful "Se'diers of the Commissary" and have added very materially to the supplies of the food therein. Now t'ay are being enlisted to collect nuts to aid in the defense work. All of the hovs and girls club members of the county are to have a part in this work. Hickory nuts. walnut shells, peach seeds and other such nuts will be collected now. The nuts collected by the club members will be delivered to the office of the County Agent and then turned over to the Red Cross for shipment to the Gas Defense Division.
