Mr.. Hare tells us that his little
town is loyal to the core for
the Liberty Loan. He related
how his town of 18 white men
and the negro tenants went
"over the top" to the tune of
SIS, 10000 when their allot-
ment was only $4,000. The
negro tenants held meeting,
had their own speaker, and
every fellow to a man subscrib-
ed for a. bond. Only one fell
low had been talking" and he
was made to walk up before
the crowd and kiss the folds of
|"Old Glory The leading
business men, knowing the
earning capacity of the ne
groes, had prepared an esti-
mate that each fellow could
meet, and this list was gladly
accepted by them. How wise
this procedure, and how de-
serving these negro tenants to
acquiesce. This plan should
meet the hearty approval of
all liberty loving people all
over this state and land, and
these men of Auvergne who
enacted such a systematic plan
deserve the praise of our peo-
pie and all of us could with
profit benefit from their exam
pie. Now, if the negro tenant
can do things, how much more
should his white neighbor run
and be victorious in this great
race! Let every American
buy and own piece of u. S..
paper, buy a bond, buy a War
Savings Stamp, buy a Thrift
Stamp, they are made so that
all may invest, and it is an in
vestment. Dad and mother,

Models and specifications for the
shoe and suits are being considered by
the war industries board. While board
officials said neither is imminent

Price To Be Stable
The standard war suits will be made

Rapidly rising prices on necessities re-

Officials indicate that only standard

The rapid rise in price OF necessities
lately has alarmed officials. These
prices are not the result in all cases OF

ers Island traps yesterday. Two were
returned by A. L. Burns, one of the
best shooters in the club. One gave
him leg on the Red Cross Cup and
the other won a special prize NJ.
Murphy was the other gunner to make
a straight He also made his perfect
lun IN the shoot for the Red Cross
prize.
Regardless of the fact that there
were so few straights the scores were
excellent No less than FIVE gunners

Grand scratch average for the day The
high gunner was Mr.. Burns, who had
the excellent total of 81 out of a pos
sible 100 targets. G. j. Corbett, chair
man of the shooting committee, was
second with grand total of 95
