Mr.. and Mrs. Drug Leave.

Stratford Courier: Mr.. and Mrs. j..
r. Drug disposed of all their house
hold goods at public auction Satur-
day afternoon and left Sunday, even
ing over the Northwestern, via Boone,
for their new home at Glendale, near
Los Angeles California. Mr.. and
Mrs. Drug have been residents OF this
community for over a quarter OF a
century and both have been actively
engaged in building up the welfare
of Stratford and vicinity. Mr.. Drug
has been identified with several OF
the business institutions Of Stratford.
Before the town boosted a bank or
money exchange, Mr.. Drug was the
man whom the farmers or others
requiring money went to see, for ne
was loaning money sent him by east
ern capitalists when there was little
money to be had here. When Fort
Dodge capital. organized the State
Bank here, Mr.. Drug was its first
cashier, continuing in that capacity
for a number of years. When he re-
signed, he built a small Office and
went, into business for himself, doing
insurance underwriting and survey
ing. Later on he again became identl-
fed with the banking interests OF
Stratford, when he was the prime
mover in organizing the Farmers
Savings Bank here and for several
years was its president. A little
more than year ago he resigned his
position with that institution and has
ever since been disposing of his hold
ings in this community, getting ready
to move to his new home in the west.
He still retains the original Drug
farm southwest Of Stratford. 1t
might be added that all Of the bust
ness interests with which he has
been identified have proven success
full ventures He has also held many
offices of trust in the town and school
district. was a powerful factor in pol
itics in the county and was a popu-
lar authority in probate matters, at
tending to much of this class OF busi-
ness for the people of this commun-
ity. He has been part and parcel
of Stratford and a very necessary
part he has played in the upbuilding
of this place He has advised many
on financial matters to their everlast-
ing benefit and he was such a useful
man to the community that he will
be missed by many friends here now
and in the future. It might well be
said that he grew up with Stratford
and moved along in a rapid line OF
progress with Stratford. The many
friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Drug
extend to them best wishes for sue
cess and happiness in their new
home. ~

out of business the beast that has
made necessary the great sacrifice
our soldier boys are making
The American boys are certainly
making good. Their brilliant fight
ing turned the tide and greatly
advanced the morale Of the allied
armies. Their conduct has been
that of trained and we'll disciplined
soldiers, and their bravery and
daring has attracted the attention
and brought forth the admiration
Of the liberty.loving nations.
While these things are all true,
they connot remain so if the Amer
lean soldiers are not given the
proper support and encourage
ment at home. We must labor
and sacrifice if we expect them to
make the great sacrifice. There
is no question but that the United
States will come out Of this war
with much honor if we will do the
honorable thing at home.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-08-30
Med OF LABOR

Since the war began there has
been no time when this govern
ment was as much in need of la
Dor as now. The war supply pro-
gram is going to be greatly hind
cred unless much more labor can
be secured. A call has been made
for laborers throughout the coun-
try, and Tennessee is asked to fur
nish $3.50 men.
In the face of this condition
there are laborers who are threat
ening to 90 on a strike if wages
are not increased or hours short
ened. Labor is exceedingly we'll
paid, especially when compared
with the $50 q month the boys in
France are paid. The soldier boys
have no union hours, and are Ii
able at any time to be called upon
to make the great sacrifice that
liberty may live.
We believe labor organizations
and labor unions are all right, and
frequently prove great protec-
ton to laborers in securing their
rights, but this is no time for la
Dor disturbances, and we have but
little respect or patience for the
man or set of men who are not pa
triotic enough to make some sac
rifces under the conditions that
now exist.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

The American soldier deserves
the confidence of the American
people. Every time they have been
tested they have absolutely deliy-

The above is the language of
Gen. March, chief of staff, made
in d statement last Saturday. The
general further states that every
man who has served with the
American troops has absolute con-
hdence 10 them. These statements
from Gen. March were made be-
fore the military affairs committee
and we're the results of cold
J blooded military opinion, and were
mot intended to raise the hopes of
the people.
The American people have the
tmost confidence in the efficiency
