The bankers of the seventh Fed
eral reserve district were told by M
G. Taylor. director of sales of gov
eminent certificates of Indebtedness
that the government is comman-
deering the nations wealth of raw
materials, of labor, and the best OF
the nations young men, and does
not propose to go begging for the
one thing absolutely necessary to
make effective all the forces; in other
words. the money. The bankers
could invest if they chose but if they
held off the government would know
how to conscript what it should need
to prosecute the war. With that
the bankers agreed to take their dis

how to Provide Farm Pins
For Wheat.

7 Farmers in sections where the
acreage of wheat is unusually large.
are urged by the Dept. of Agricul-
ture to provide enough bins on the
farm to take care Of their wheat
when threshed. This is said to be
necessary to save the wheat that will
probably pile up in certain localities
because the large crop is likely to
put : heavy strain on storage eleya-
tors and transportation system. The
wheat should be stored in bins on
the farm. according to-tns Bureau
% Markets, which has issued : cir
cular containing plans and drawings

Crystal Springs. June 25.-The
total fruit and vegetable movement
from this place for the current sea-
son up to and including today's
shipments, was 1850 cars. which
smashes all records for many years
past. Tho total shipments for 1917
were only GIL and for 1915 the total
was 1 ,3O6 cars.
AS this is the height of the tomato
season, which will continue into
July. it is evident that the volume
of shipments will far exceed those
of any year in the truck farming in

The standing OF each county will
be published in the press through
out the State, the counties will be
listed. and first will be shown their
quotas and written opposite that the
amount that they actually pledged
to the government.
/ We appealed to the entire citizen
ship of each county in the State OF
Mississippi, that there may not be a
single county in the State that might
not reach its quota; that when the
list is published each county will
have gone over the top with hand
some margin to its credit.
We are sure that not county di-
rector or the citizenship of any coun-
ty would like to see list published
in which their county has not re-
sponded to the call OF it's govern
ment and done even more than its
government had asked.
Reports are so fiattering and the
prospects arc so bright for large

we believe that there will not be q

What Kansas Did.

One of the war necessities THE
year has been for able-bOdied town
men to volunteer for farm work in
their counties or communities dur
ing the harvests or other periods
when emergency supplies OF farm
help are needed. For months the
u, s. Department Of Agriculture has
been urging THE program in every
part of the United States.
This plan was put into effect in
every town and city in Kaasas. in
order that sufficient harvest hands
might be secured for the war win
ming wheat crop. 1t was suggested
that the town men. being unaccus-
toned to hard physical work, would
not be of real assistance in the har-
vest until they had been on the farm
long enough to ge: the kinks out
of their muscles"
That's good point" somebody
at the Kansas City Athletic Club said.
Let's start training class move
ment, and get the kinks out of every
town volunteers muscles before he
gets to the farm. Then he can go
right to work-bing. as soon as he
lands in the field"
So the Kansas City Athletic Club
organized Loyal Physical Fitness
Class" for the purpose of hardening
city men for work In the harvest
fields. Under the direction of pro-
fessiOnal instructors this early morn
ing outdoor class was attended reg
ularly by many business and pro-
fessiOnal men of the city for some
weeks prior to the wheat harvest.
Flabby muscles became firm; fat
was sweated away: Office men got
themselves fit. This physical train
ing plan was taken up by many
towns and cities of Kansas; rot only
we're town men asked to volunteer
for work in the harvest fields. they
were expected, after volunteering,
to fit themselves for effective work
by faithfully training in one of the
physical classes.
Various organizations of business
and professional men in Kansas en-
tered whole heartedly into the spirit
Of the farm volunteer movement and
conducted, among their member
ships. vigorous and successful cam
paign for farm workers. For in
stance the Kansas City Bar Associa-
tion sent to each member a folder
urging him to Join the Loyal Ply
sical Fitness Glass at the Kansas
City Athletic Club from now to har-
vest time go you will become ply
sically fit; no initiation fees, no dues,
just to win the war; Submitting
an estimate of the crop to be har-
vested the folder asked:
II this were in Germany would a
bushel be lost? Men can save this
wheat here; are you a man? All
loyal city people are asked to help
in the fields; it is time for you to get
in conditions; remove that hustle
from your front 40 you can harvest
wheat"
And they did get into condition
and harvest the wheat. The busi-
ness and professional men. town
residents generally did it all over
Kansas.
By the way, other crops are to be
harvested. This Kansas City Loyal
Physical Fitness Club" gets results;
why not start one in every town?
Why not start one in your town. In
fact why don't you start it? All you
need is lot of pep and a big
back yard CT vacant lot and leader
who knows the setting up" or other
physical exercise. Be ready to do
effective farm work when the call
comes for patriotic workers from
