 Comes my clever government railroad friend, E. E. White hurst of the R. 1. Division and he tells me that the R. 1. has led all others in the 3rd Liberty Loan drive. Out of 2837 on pay roll of R.

 The thought has been advanc- ed by some of our patriotic citi- zens that it would be a monu- mental patriotism if the Brinkley Elks would with their usual gracious generosity, offer the Brinkley Red Cross ladies who are doing such splendid work, the use of the Elk's Club as per manent quarters. In view of the fact that there are a full hundred of good women who are GIVING their most earnest efforts and working many hard hours each week in the hot, stuffy, un- handy narrow quarters. 1t oc- CUTS to me that it would be a nice thing if the lodge men of Brinkley could afford to furnish them with quarters. The Masons who have a big comfortable hall could join in the good work and help the Elks put this over and in view of the fact that these good women are doing their work in real love and sacrifice tor those who are giving their very lives for us, I'm believing that it would be rather a nice thing for our clever Brinkley lodge men to see that the good women are furnished comforta- ble quarters for the Brlnkley Dad CrOos

 The dinner for the local fund of the Red Cross, given last week, was great success and credit to those who had it in charge. The dinner was given in Mrs. J. w. Young's confec- tionery. The pretty decorations made an ideal setting and the Red Cross workers wish to pub- licly thank Mrs. Young for the use of her rooms. Thanks are also due the Elks and Young Mems Business Club for cour- tesies received. To the public and everyone who assisted in any way we are most thankful and appreciative. You did it not for us, but the cry of hu- manity. Miss Sara Black, chair man of the committee, reports net receipt $1O0.00.
 The services of the colored boy. Jimmie Chalmers, as ex- press messenger and all round handy man" is much appreci- ated by the units of the work room. He can not give in money but in service. Some of the white friends might catch a vision.
 Mrs. w. H. Overholt, Director of local workroom, and ex-com- mitteeman, L. K. Brown, organ ized the colored women into a Red Cross Unit last Monday afternoon. The women will maintain their own workroom and much good work is expected. The attendance was large and all seemed in earnest. Notice of officers will be given later.

COUNTY CANDIDATES
 PRESENT CLAIMS
Speaking Campaign Open- ed Monday at Dark Corner. Some Fire
 Works.

At Lynchville. on Monday afternoon, more than a score of county candidates were on hand to be at the opening of the speech making tour inaugurated by w. E. Phipps~ candidate for Supt. of Education.
 The speaking platform was the front porch of Engene A. Skillern's Lynchville Store which presided over by Chas. Turner. Esq. R. M. Henderson was chairman and called" the speakers. Phipps led off and went after" his opponent, Supt. w. H. Laney, pretty strong. Laney sharply counter ed and Phipps rejoindered and then came the other candidates. Candidate Knott led off. fol- lowed by his opponent, H. G. Mitchell, Robt. Mcbride being absent. Knott, being a lawyer, was at home at speaking and Mitchell in a clever self-compos- ed way merely announced his candidacy as a worker and not a talker.
 Then came the Sheriffs--J s. Black, Robt. A. Holloway, T. T. Malone and telling it like it was Malone outpointed his opponents in this, the initial speaking that is if the effect on the crowd was sufficient to judge from, Pm guessing that the Bob and John will be pushing in the pep on the balance of the tour.
 All of the candidates for Clerk merely made announcements in nice informal way and then the speech making was again begun by the Assessors.
 Farmer Bob Summit showed the making of a successful stump speaker and both Troy Boyle and Will Lynch were not at all bad at speech making.
 The candidates for County Judge were absent and it was reported that they would not participate in the joint canvass.
 The second appointment of the candidates was at Zent. then came Dickson and on Wednes- day night they spoke in the plaza to Brinkleyites. The ARGUS man wasn't able to hear 'em because of the pressing Red Cross duties but they tell me that Robt. Mcbride proved him. self an oratorical surprise and if he keeps up that lick it is said that the joint meetings will likely prove bit more spirited.
 There is some talk of some of the candidates withdrawing from the joint canvass and go it alone because of the fact that the peo- pie of the country districts are too busy to go to the speaking but it is more likely they will stick it out.

KEEP SEED CORN SAFE.

Clemson College, s. C.-Seed
corn may be left on the racks where
the ears have been dried. But it
is generally preferable, says the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, to store the ears in mouse
proof barrels, boxes, or crates dur
ing the winter. In any case they
must not be exposed to dampness or
they will absorb moisture and be
injured.
After hanging in the drying shed,
or lying on the racks where there is
constant circulation of dry air for
the first two, months after they
have been selected from the stalks
in the field, the seed ears should be
bone dry and contain less than 10
per cent of moisture. Some farmers
place the thoroughly dry ears in the
center ia wheat bin, and then fill
the bin with loose, dry wheat.

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy

money. Food and grain is higher in

It's time above all others to play

acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and

Born of the blood that our fore

And now you've come in this fren-

Gone to be gone until the victory's

The flag Of his mother-I speak for

Who stands by my window and
waits and fears,
But hides from the others her un-

For the safe return of a martial

To save from sacrifice other mems

FORESTRY EXPERIMENT.

Clemson College, s. c., Jan. L.
Clemson College is cooperating
with the Forest Service of the u. s.
Department of Agriculture in a re-
forestation experiment at the Coast
Station near Summerville. Five
different kinds of pine have been
planted as follows: The loblolly,
long-leaf, and slash pines of the Low
Country, the short leaf pine Of the
Piedmont section, and the Maritime
pine. The slash pine has been
found to be the most rapid grower
of these native pines and it is valu-
able both for lumber and turpen-
tine. The Maritime pine which is
the turpentine tree of France and
Spain and which has been found to
grow well in Florida, is being care
fully tested out. This tree produces
the best quality of turpentine in
the world. It has been ascertained
that all our native pines produce
seed abundantly and that all that is
needed to enable them to reproduce
themselves is; to keep hogs and fires
out of the old fields, and deforested
sections.

SOLDIER AND SAILOR
INSURANCE

To the man who has gone to the
colors the United States Govern
ment offers the safest, the most lib
eral, and the cheapest insurance on
the face of the earth. Approximate
ly 100000 men have already accept
ed the Governments offer, applying
for insurance of about two and
three-quarter billions of dollars. The
average amount applied for per man
is more than $4,000, which is very
close to the $4,000 maximum pro-
vided for by the law.
This insurance total, great as it
is, should be only a beginning. Ev-
cry person in the military and naval
forces of the Nation owes to him
self and to those he loves to avail
himself of the full insurance pro-
lection. But the time in which he
can do so is limited. Prompt acton
is imperative.
Those who Joined the service BIT
fore October Is, 1917, must apply
for the insurance on or before Feb
ruary IL, 1918. After that, it will
be too late. The automatic insur-
ance which is provided until Febru-
ary 12, 1918, is only partial pro-
lection.
Parents, brothers, and sisters,
who have a representative of their
family in the Army or Navy should,
for their own sake, and for his,
write to him at once urging him, if
he has not already done so, to buy
the Government insurance. They.
should urge him to buy the full S10,-
900, and, above all, to buy it now.
