many things we had not
thought of before the war.
Many of our boys have been
prevented from entering the
Students Army Training Corps
because they did not have a
high school education. In many
cases they were not to be blam-
ed, but we ought to be asham-
ed of ourselves for not main
tanning standard high schoolsin
many communities in this c0un-
ty where our boys and girls
might have these educational
advantages. They are going to
need high school education
more in the next few years
than they do now. Let us see
that they get it. A number
of little, weak districts are
going to have to get together,
consolidate, if we do it.
am trusting that you will
spare no effort on your part tt
see that the education of the
children is not neglected but
looked after better in these
i trying times than it has ever
! been. Yours cordially,

FARMERS SHOULD TURN
PROFITS into BONDS
High Prices and Prosperity
Owing to the War May
Not Last

The argument is being made
in many sections Of the country
and it is based on solid truth
that cut of the great wealth
the war has brought the farm
ers of the United States in high
prices of products the wisest
thing he can do is to invest in
Liberty Bonds that will increa-
Sc in value.
Drouths may come in other
years and spoil his crops; prize
es may go down nearer the
normal and if prices should re-
main secure at present figures
the chances are he will not
have the present abundance to
sell.
The farmers of Independent
ce county are getting a higher
price for their products than
was ever known. Many of
them are receiving from $50 to
500 per acre from their crops
this year.
The reason for this great
prosperity is that because mil
lions of men have been taken
out of the ranks of the produc-
ers and have been placed up
on the battlefields of Europe
where they are consumers and
destroyers instead of producers
That is the why of the pres
ent high prices and it is wisely
predicted they will not last for
ever. Will farmers be profit
gate with their increased veal
tn at time when conservation
is the watchword of our cGun-
try, or will they act the part of
the wise man who lays by in
store for the future?
Another Liberty Loan cam
paign is being launched that
the Government may have
money that is needed to contin-
ne TO prosecute the war. Farm
ers cannot do better, the solid
investment advice is given,
than to buy bonds and to con-
tinue to buy them until all
their surplus wealth is invest
ed.
After the war these bonds
should increase in value as the
years go by. Government bonds
have always gone to prem
ium in a short time after the
war. Best of all it will help
to whip the unrighteousness
out of the Hun and restore
freedom, peace and happiness
to the world.

CELEBRATE LIBERTY
DAY OCTOBER II
Day on Which America Was
Discovered Should be Gel
ebrated Everywhere

1t mas DceH the CUSTOM Oh our
Government to select enc day
during the Liberty Loan Drives
as Liberty Day. For the Four
tn Liberty Loan, the treasury
Department, in cooperation
with the United State Bureau
of Education, requests every
school district in United States
city, town and countryside
to arrange for the celebra-
ton of the discovery of Ameri-
ca with an appropriate Har-
vest Home Festival on Satur-
day, October 18th.
There is a logical unity, says
Mr.. Franklin, director of pub
licity between both of these
ideas and the Liberty Loan.
When the people of a commun-
ity reap the fruits Of their
summers labor they will nat
urally ask themselves what
share of them they ought to in
vest in Liberty Bonds. When
they come to realize what the
discovery of America has
meant to them personally,
what it has meant for the
cause of freedom and democ-
racy; what it will mean for the
salvation Of the world in the
present world tragedy; when
they.begin to feel all this, they
must of necessity say, this is
worth investing in, worth fight
ing for, worth making any sac
rifice for.
The Bureau of Education, at
the request of the Treasury
Department, is preparing sug-
gestions for a Harvest Home
Festival celebration and has
the facilities for mailing them
to almost everyone of the 300,-
900 schools in the United
States.
There is something vastly
inspiring in the thought of all
the neghborhoods in the Unit
ed States meeting the same day
on the basis of citizenship with
united deyotions to the ideals
for which America stands.
Please see that the occasion
is properly observed in your
school district. The idea is big,
the opportunity is great. The
time is short. Will you use ev-
cry effort to make this the
most successful celebration sin
ce the war began?
| want to suggest to you that
you have placed in the school
building in your district a serv-
ice flag with a star for each
man who has gone out from
your district. We owe it to the
men and it will also serve as a
constant reminder when you
gather at your school of the
part your district is taking IN
the great struggle for democ-
racy. Please don't neglect to
do this.
There is a growing scarcity
of teachers. | am glad that
forty five teachers of this coun-
ty are with the colors, but we
must not neglect the education
of the rising generation. We
have just two big things TO do
Win this war and educate the
children of today. 1t may be
come necessary to consolidate
two or more small districts OF
provide a plan where the same
teacher may teach two OF
three months in one district ano
in an adjoining district, the
children of both districts being
allowed to attend both schools
Where a small district adjoins

citizen in this community. BY count
ing back we can see that he married
just three years after the Civil war,
the sound of the big guns no doubt
were still ringing in his ears, and to-
day he is proud to tell his many
friends of his experience in the fight
for the Lost Cause" Another fact
that he is proud of and that is that
he has grand-sons with the American
forces somewhere in France" Mrs.
Holeman was a McElroy, one of the
oldest and most respected families of
North Mississippi. The dinner that
the guests sat down to on this oc-
casion would have down credit to any

she would enter NO protest 10 her only

service or ms country, white she did
not know what she would 90 without
nIm- 1his mother further sand that
II she had two sons at home that she
would insist on one Of them entering
the service
The above statement was MADE
while she stood near the grave where
soldier boy was being iaid TO rest
who had died while In training. DID
she quail because Of this! Nay. She
knew our peril and that there vas no
other way TO ward il of, except TO
vanquish this pittiless foe by armed
force. She realized the danger which
threatens our homes, our Liberties,
our all.
Is she a heartless mother, one who
does not love her boy, that she is
willing for him to stake his all in the
present conflict? No. She loves her
boy as other mothers do theirs. She
loves him too well to want TO see him
playing the part of a Stacker, and
shifting the responsibilities of citizen
ship to other Shoulders, in a. great
crisis, when all that is dear to our
hearts ID at stake.
But there are other mothers and
how unlike this mother, was the moth
er who said to me not long ago, Il
am quite willing for other mothers
sons to do my boys fighting" This
mother was quite willing for other
boys TO throw themselves between her
and her boy and protect them and
their lives and possessions and fight
for their Liberties, while her boy re-
mains at home and enjoys himself
and makes money and has a good
time.
These two mothers represent two

RED CROSS DONTS.

1t has been suggested by the Ex-
ecutive Committee 10 bring for those
most interested in knitting socks. TO
prin. a few suggestions concerning
the knitting of socks, as new direct
ions come to them from time TO time,
so we give on. the following donts
for their benefit:
Don't cast ON tightly, or otherwise
well knitted socks may become use
less by having a tight cord at the top.
Don't knot your wool. Join the
ends by splicing, or by running the
new end into the old with a wosted
needle, which may always be kept On
hands.
Don't make heal with q seam on
sole. Remember a man may not have
a chance TO cange his socks for many
days, and a lump, or knot, brings
blisters, and if the blistes breaks,
blood poison sets in, and results in
loss of foot or life. We cannot afford
to lose our men through negligence,
or ignorance.
Don't use needle too fine for wool.
The knitting should be elastic. II too
tightly knitted, the socks become hard
and board-like.
Don't make a foot less than IL
inches. Don not hand in socks that
have been washed and ironed. This
makes them uncomfortable and in
sures a certain amount of shrinkage.
Socks when finished should measure
foot from tip to heel to tip of toe
IL inches. Leg from tip of heel to
tip of leg-A inches
By complying with these suggest
ions, a great deal of valuable time can
be saved by raveling out socks not
properly knitted-and re-knit Those
not just understanding how to knit
the toes can always find some one al
the Red Cross room who will take
pleasure in teaching you. The same
suggestions apply to those knitting
sweaters.
