Help the Boys over There.

AS fuel administrator of the coun-
ty, l am asked to grant special permits
sion in some cases for the people to use
their cars to go to church, which 1
can't do, and would not, if had the
power to do. Unfortunately, /
think there are some cases when it
would be necessary to use a car on
Sunday and will cheerfuly issue a
permit. But feel the cases are very
few. 1t is possible to have patriotism
and religion both; and they work in
perfect harmony. Our people have
not had autos to go to church in very
long, and once we had no buggies, and
had fewer churches, and had to walk
further than at present time, and
they always got there somehow. Now,
we are passing through a critical
period in this war. Our boys are
being furnished provisions and anu
milton almost exclusively by trucks.
They are risking their all for our free
dom and the privilege of worshiping
God as we think is right. Can't we
just use the old buggy, farm wagon,
or walk. We can get there some how
if we try. Let's help win the war.
We are going to do it and you will
feel more like you have helped if you
will save your part of the gasoline.
If sick or feeble go in your car, if you
must; but be sure you feel right while
riding. Don't pull back, but let's go
to church. If it is one or two miles
to walk the sacrifice will be amply
rewarded by consciousness of duty
done.

County Fua1 Administrator

and Smith county will go over the
with all ease Let every man in
each district take hold of the PROPOSE
ton and see to it that his district
goes over. The work is easy if every
one will join in. There is no better
investment on earth than a Liberty
Bond. They draw a good per cent
of interest, they are absolutely safe,
and when you buy a Bond you are
standing behind our Smith County
boys who are fighting for us over
yonder in France. Let every body
get busy and put Smith county over
the top before the end of the cam
paign arrives.

The Germans are now mounting
about the American soldiers using
sawed-off shot guns, claiming that
such is inhuman and unwarlike. Since
when did any combatant resort more
cruelties of war than have the Huns.
1t was the Germans who started the
use of poisonous gas and liquid fire.
They are the ones who use saw-tooth
bayonets and fire bombs loaded with
ali kinds of fragments calculated to
render long suffering wounds to their
opponents. It is the Germans who
make speciality of destroying hOspi-
tails with its invalid patients; it is
they who bomb school houses and
homes and deliberately murder inno-
cent children and helpless women by
the thousands. Lots of ground
to complain about a shotgun, they
have. Stand up Hun, and take your
medicine.

The program and premium list for
Smith County Agricultural Day,
which will be held in Carthage on
Friday, Oct. 18th has been printed
and copies are now being distributed.
This occasion is being held with hope
that the agricultural and general food
production of the county might be
further stimulated. The task of MAX
ing this Agricultural Day just what
it should be is chiefly in the hands OF
ID. NJ. Galloway, county agent, and
Mrs. Hattie Wendell, home demon
stration agent, and they are untiring
in their efforts to make it a success.
The Government has never sent two
more proficient and energetic people
to a county than are Mr.. Galloway
and Mrs. Wendell, and they have done
much to improve the agricultural and
economic conditions of the county
since coming into our midst. Smith
county is indeed fortunate to have
them assigned to duties here, and
every citizen of the county should
prove the appreciation by joining in
with them in making the Agricul-
tural Day a success and by lending
them assistance in all other under
takings calculated to be good for
the increased food production of the
county. They are busy every week
visiting and holding meetings in vari-
Gus sections of the county, and the
people can greatly stimulate their
efforts by attending these meetings
In addition to the Agricultural Day,
Mrs. Wendell has been very thought
full and arranged for a Service Flag
to be raised on the same day in honor
OF all the Smith County boys in the
army. The Day is one that every
Smith countian should be vitality in
terested in. Come and bring articles
to enter in the farm and food pro
ducts. Nice premiums are being
offered those who have the best ex-
hibits. Make the Smith County Agri-
cultural Day a big day.

If you fail to receive the Carthage
Courier more than likely it is because
your time has expired. Please notice
the figures opposite your name and
keep up with the date of expiration
and renew promptly. The laws gov
erning newspapers strictly fOrbids
sending papers to subscribers whose
times have expired. Often we have
requests from friends to enter their
names on the subscription list and
they will pay later. This is also
strictly forbidden, and the Govern
ment asks that we get the money be-
fore we put the names on the list. The
cost of printing paper now is enorm-
Gus, but we are trying to continue
sending the Carthage Courier out at
the old prices, and we ask our friends
to favor US by renewing promptly
when their times expire, and always
send the money, for that is what we
need to pay the high prices for blank
paper, and for that meal made from
the farmers $500 corn, and for that
meat from the farmers 20-cents-a-
pound hogs.

A CORRECTION.

In last weeks issue of the Carthage
Courier the printer made an error in
the announcement of the Smith Coun-
ty Bank concerning the conversion
of the First and Second Issues of
Liberty Bonds into Third Liberty
Bonds. It was stated that these
gissues would be converted into ia per
cent Bonds when it should have been
stated that the First and Second is
sues of Liberty Bonds would be con-
verted into Az per cent Third Liberty
Bonds, if so desired. AS a matter of
fact there are no Liberty Bonds issued
to draw more than Az per cent.

LACK OF PIG IRON HAS
CRIPPLED IRON PLANTS

NEW YORK, Jan 6.---The American
Steel \ Wire Company suspended opera
tons at the Cleveland plant Oh We'd
nesday. Tho Pittsburgh works were
also crippled by tho same cause. Inc
foundries In the New York district. even
sorne engaged on war work. are threat
ened with idleness from lack or pig
iron. Tho Pennsylvania and the RaItl-'
more s: Ohio Railroads Rre temporarily
accepting no shipments OF iron OF steel
for New York City. and the Norfolk n
Western - refusing freight OF all kinds
whether Of government origin or other
wise Some shipments OF pig iron from
Virginia into tho east have been IN
transit since early November Con-
sumers arc alarmed. ns almost no iron
can b obtained for immediate shipment
to make good the shortage.
As the government has stipulated that
any contracts for iron. steel or 1uel
taken in the next three months. Gov
ering shipments. after March 3, are SUE
1ect to revision in prices on April l.
there is no incentive for producers 20
accept orders for future shipment at
this time. Pig iron consumers are anH-
ious to place contracts for large tom
nages for 1918 shipment. but find small
encouragement. The American Locomo-
tive Company. however. mas succeeded III
buying 1900 tons OF pig Iron for It's
Virginia works, TO be shipped In the
first quarter 4 tool maker IS trying TO
buy 2.2nO tons OF iron for China. On
the other hand. re-sales OF iron pre-
viously sold for export are being made
70 needy consumers in the Pittsburgh
district.
Government orders FOR steel are
heavy, and plate mills are being urged
To increase shipments on previous allot-
lnents. Sixty days ago the United States
Steel Corporation took about 20 per
cent. OF all government steel orders, but
now the independent mills are taking
larger tonnages.
