Just recently, as result of the campaign in the earlier part of the year to determine the acreage of food and feed crops that each farmer had planted, the Honor Cards have been issu- ed. This card in the hands of farmer signifies that this farmer is doing his part toward the pro. duction of the necessary food for the maintneance of the people at home and for the fighting forces. This card signifies that the work that the farmer holding it is do. ing patriotic work. Honor Cards were issued to he greater num- Der of Drew County. There were only few who did not receive Honor Cards because the balance of crops in favor of those that are used for food was not right, yet there were a few. Some cards have not been delivered because the address as given on the report blank was not correct pr could not be read But, Drew County farmers cannot be called siaciers in food production
 They have done their part in planting ani GU tivating, and a
 decrease in production, should
 such come, will not be because
 af lack of effort on the part of the man who tills the soil. N)w
 that the honor is won. it is neces.
 sary that this be lived up to
 Good acreages of wheat, oats, frye, winter cover crops of various
 kinds, fall potatoes and goo

The blowing up of two dipping vats, in the lower part of this county last week, was an outrage against law and order that the
 good people of Drew county can lot condone or stand for. Some persons have grossly and wan tonly violated the law and should te hunted down and punished. II order to evade a little trouble O. driving their cattle to the vats these people have exposed them selves to penitentiary penalties, and the next grand jury will, if 1t does its duty, go to the bottom of this fragrant and senseless vi
 olation of law and the destruc- ton of property, and indict ev- cry participant. II the people Of Drew county aretto have protec- tlon ot their lives and property tlev must have the laws aid, and nothing should be left un- done to bring before the Bar of Justice the perpetrators of this last outrage. Cattle-dinning may be obnoxious to some people, but that is no reason why vats should be destroyed any more than c.lurch-houses or school. buildings should be destroyed, because some people are opposed to preaching and school.teac,,inx
