YOUR OPPORTUNITY
Is WAGNER'S BIG
OPPORTUNITY SALE

1t has been said that Opportunity"
knocks at every mans door at least
once during his lifetime-This big
sale, this Opportunity" Sale, now
on at the Wagner big stores, may be
YOUR opportunity. Read their big
two-page advertisement over careful
ly-note the wonderful prices offered
then seriously reflect if this sale
isn't GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for
you to secure fall and winter goods
at remarkably low prices.
All merchandise is advancing daily
no, hourly-and in short time you
would be required to pay much larg-
er prices for every article listed in
the big sale. Hundreds of items
can't be bought today at wholesale
price for what Wagners are offering
them at. They bought the goods be-
fore the big advances in price and
instead of taking advantage of the
war situation and adding the ad-
vances on the selling prices of goods,
Wagner & Co. have patriotically put
the entire purchase on the market at
the old pre-advance prices and thus
save thousands of dollars for Yalo-
busha County citizens. Few indeed
are the mercantile establishments who
would not take advantage of the big
advances in all goods, but Wagner &
Co. in appreciation of the support and
patronage afforded them by the good
citizens of the county patriotically
resolved to share their big advantage
with the trading public, and give ev-
cry citizen an opportunity to secure
his needs at pre-advance prices dur
ing the Opportunity sale.
We commend them on their action
in thus saving thousands of dollars
for our citizens, and assure the firm
that their liberality and patriotism
will be remembered by an apprecia-
tive public in years to come.

financial side of the question. The

has proved that the awarding a money
prize not only makes the cost of a
fair prohibitive but by placing the
emphasis on money instead of the
honor of achievement, defeats the
purpose of the fair, for the main
purpose is to stimulate desire to
increase the quantity and to improve
the quality of the average product.

YALOBUSHA COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL III. S. NEWS

Almost all the students in the high
school have subscribed for the Liter
airy Digest. This magazine includes
all branches of present day interests.
Through it the student gets the latest
news and at the same time gets good
historical and literary reading The
students of the public school have
subscribed for the Path Finder. With
these the student body should be well
informed about the present day af-
fairs.
We very much regret that in get
ting up our News" for the last week
we neglected to mention the fact that
our new County Demonstration paid
our school a very interesting visit.
All who met her are of the opinion
that she is enthusiastically interested
in her work and means business.
We wish her success. She and Mr..
Spinks have visited the school and
begun the organization of clubs.
All are hoping that work will be
begun Immediately on our new water
works system. The school is enabled
to have this improvement through the
progressiveness and liberality of the
Board of Supervisors and the Board
Of Trustees, and the interest of GER
tain citizens of Oakland. This i'm
provement will give to the boys and
girls from the rural districts an op-
portunity to get high school educa-
ton under better conditions than
otherwise and the people of these dis
tricts should feel especially grateful
to those persons to whom credit be-
longs.
Last week most of the students
went home to spend the week end.
They all came back rested and able
to do better work.
New students are still coming in.
Even now there is room for only a
few more and most likely all rooms
will be taken not later than October
First.
Practically all he boys of the two
classes graduated here during the
Spring and Summer and some of the
girls are going to be in college this
fall.
Since. writing the above in meet
ing called by President Hodnett, the
Trustees made plans and arrange
ments as far as can be at present for
having the work on our new water
system begun at the earliest possible
time. Mr.. Parrish, the Secretary of
the Board and Mr.. Denley were the
only other members present at this
meeting, but all of them were anxious
to do all that was possible to hurry
the work up. Most likely another
meeting will be held soon with a full
attendance and the contract let for
the new we'll and water system. This
when completed will be one of the
greatest improvements ever made at
the school.
Any boy in the county wishing to
work during school will find ample
opportunity if he will start in at
once. This together with the low
cost of board will make his schooling
cost very little

THE YELLOW SHOWING UP.

The yellow streak in the makeup Of the Ger
man people is shown today by the terror now
gripping the inhabitants of that country along
the battle front over the POSSIBILITY of the allied
armies invading the Fatherland.
So long as the German armies were fighting
on foreign soil, the people were content to listen
and to approve the stories of widespread destruc-
ton and frightfulness with which the high COM
mand RECALLED them. But now that the German
armies tasting the bitterness ..f defeat and
are constantly being forced back, leaving be-
hind countless dead, the people are beginning to
whine and show the yellow streak
1t the same with the bombing of the
cities. So long as German towns were free from
attacks by the allied airmen, the inhabitants
were happy at the thought that in Paris and
London, sleeping children and women were be-
ing murdered by their men. But when the
allies decided to retaliate in kind, huge cry
went up accusing them of conducting uncivilized
warfare.
The SWINES do not know the bitterness
OF having modern armes-according to the Ger
man standard--fght over their fields and cities.
They do not realize that their homes must be
destroyed in retaliation. But God grant that
peace shall never. be declared until the whole
length and breadth of the german nation shall
have shaken to the tread of foreign armies and
the people shall have visited upon them the
horrors which they have dealt to the unfortun-
ate nations of the world
