Wheat Patriots Now Are
Sought For All States.

Are you willing to give up wheat
aour and other products for three
months, and thus help win the
war?
The food administration has
called a special election in the
Tinted States to decide the ques-
finn, There is little wheat left
and there are more soldiers in
Europe who must have the supply;
there are nations holding the bat.
tle line until the United States get
there, and they must be sustained.
So Herbert Hoover has askedJohn
NJ, Parker, food administrator for
louisiana, and the administra.
tors Of the other states, to present
The case to the people. 1t is a
call for the patriot to make up
for the unpatriotic who respond
only to force.
Hundreds of restaurants and
hotels in the country, social clubs
and Women's clubs, merchants
and civilians of entire counties,
already have abandoned wheat
until the situation is relieved. It
is proposed to appeal for volnn-
teers from the nation at large to
swell the sacrificial ranks. Chur-
ches Of all denominations will be
asked to proclaim the call from
their pulplts between May 26 and
June 2. The lodges of all the
frsternal orders will be asked to
take similar action. Thousands
offamilies are expected to respond
by sending their wheat to the fir.
Ing line.
Campaigns to popularize pota-
toes and cereals, suitable as sub.
stitutes for wheat are part of the
plan. There is more chance for
the potato in Louisiana, now that
retailers have responded to the az.
itation and changed their prac.
tees to contentment with smaller
profit. The five cents a pound
sign is down, and a number of
concerns set the new example Of
charging two cents a pound. At
that price the housekeepers will
Ind it to their interest to buy a
quantity at a time and the vege-
table freely, both because of it's
own food value, and as a substi.
tuta for the wheat which must be
ssntabroad, where it is needed
more than it is in the land of
plenty Of other food.
The price of the cereal substi-
tates also has been a handicap to
their being substituted for -four
made from wheat. The bakers
are making this an excuse for
raising the price of war bread.
The United States Food Admins.
ration has been at work on the
subject, and Mr.. Hoover Friday
wired Mr.. Parker that the price
was no longer a drawback. The
lntlmation is those who insist in
Keeping up prices will be treated
IS profiteers.

How A Machine
Does Our Bookkeeping

A short time ago we installed a re-
markable machine in our Accounting
Department in our parent bank in
Franklinton-a machine which adds
and subtracts, tells the date, keeps
our books and gets out monthly
statements. It does all this work
much faster than any bookkeeper
could, and has never been known to
make a mistake.
The installation of this Burroughs
Bookkeeping Machine means that our
accounts will be handled just as rap
idly and accurately as those of the
largest and most up-to-date banks in
the country.

HEROlNES OF WAR WILL HAVE PLACE
 WITH HEROES IN THE DAYS TO COME

Anniston, September 2S.-(SpeciaD The deeds of the heroes in this great world war will not be the only ones recorded in the annals of history. The splendid service of the noble heroines who are so nobly rendering such in valuable service over there will be chronicled as one of the chief reasons for victory.
 Anniston has reason to feel proud of her representatives, Miss Martha Sproull, who left last Monday to join the competent corps of American girls who are doing canteen work with the Y. M c. A. in France. Miss Sproulf is admirably fitted for this service in every respect. She Is graduate of the domestic science department of Co., lumbia and other colleges, and her tall ent in the culinary art will no doubt bring the same joy to the boys in France that 1t has given the Camp Mo Clellan men in uniform who have shared the joys of home life in her hospitable home here. Her presence over there will no doubt mean as much to all with whom she comes in contact as it has mean in her home town, where her influence has been as a star ous beneicence for all that is uplift- ing in character and helpful to prog ress Her cherry spirit will tighten the heart of many a lonely, home sick soldier boy, who will hail with delight the voice and ministrations of girl from his own blessed homeland.
 Few families are rendering a greater amount of patriotic service than the Sproull family. After all the mothers who are so cheerfully offering on the altar of their country their most price, ! less treasures, their pearls with out price, their own sons and daughters, are the greatest heroines of the war. Mrs. Sproull has given two sons and a daughter to join the colors, and the other daughter, Miss Louise Sproull. is rendering a service equally as great with the great private army over here. Both Miss Sproull and her mother give many hours of loving labor to Red Cross During Miss Anne Kilby's ab- sence north, Miss Sproull has charge of the surgical dressing department. She often %presides at the War Savings Stamp and Liberty Bond booths gives d great deal of time to the Y. W. C.. A. work, and her willing fingers are constantly knitting for the soldiers. In many other ways Miss Sproull is do- ing great work to keep the home fires burning"
 Both at home and abroad girlhood's patriotism and girlhood's enthusiasm are being used with wondrous results in every phase of patriotic endeavor. With that generous outpouring of spirit and devotion so characteristic of girls in any crisis the girls of America are rallying nobly to every call for service, and the work is twice blessed, for those who give and those who receive. Grati- tude wells high in the hearts of many girls today who have caught higher vision, gratitude for the spirit of un- selfshness, or cooperation, gratitude for having a share with the patriotic woman force of the nation.
 For their sacrifice and service our American girls are richer in spirit. stronger in faith. possessed with cour-
