PRESENT GENERATION
 CARRYING OUT INTENTIONS

We intend what they intended. We here in America believe our participa

Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liber- ties of America secure, l,ut the liber- ties of every other people as we'll We are happy in the thought that we Pam Americans are permitted to do what they undoubtedly would have done, placed in our place. It must be settled once for all what was settled for America in the great age upon whose inspiration we draw today. This is surely a fitting place from which to calmly look out upon our task. that we may fortify our spirits for it's ac- complishment. And this is the appro- priate place from which to avow. alike to the friends who look OH, and to the friends with whom we have the happi- ness to be assacited in action, the faith and purpose with which v.e cat

increased over the entire state
as the other meetings were held.
The State Director not only be-
Iieves that the state will raise
its quota, but that there will not
be a county in the state failing
to geti its part.
The plan is TO reach every head
of a family in the state, and to
have definite pledges of War
Savings during the year from
each. The teaching u 44..--
and economy is important and
should be continued, but that is
not the principal purpose OF this
campaign subecribe its quota in
maintaining our boys ct the
front.
Big men over the entire state
business and professional men,
corporations and organizations
are giving their time and aid to
this great drive. Many are
giving all their time without ex-
pense to the government, busl-
ness houses are furnishing men
at their expense and every one
who has had the plan presented
patrotically co-operates.
Every state in the American
Union, except Nebraska which
has raised its quota, is putting
on the same plan at the same
time, and it is expected
that instead OF reaching
100000 people it will reach
85, ,OO0,00 or 10000, 900 of our
people. In Mississippi there are
the State Staff, the District Dir
ector, and the Comfy Force, all
composed OF leading citizens
coming to the aid Of the govern
ment in this great drive.

Weighing and Measuring Test
Postponed

The weighing and measuring
test for children under five is
necessarily postponed for the
reason that the Department in
Washington is at present unable
to supply the demand for Record
Cards. The Child Welfare Com
mittee expects to receive the
cards for the county in a week
or two and another date will
then be announced for the test
and baby parade.
Six prizes have been donated
by the business men of Okolona
who are interested in promoting
the health of the children of
their community. Blue ribbons
will be given to those who stand
second.
The Government wants every
child of pre-school age in the
United States weighed and
measured in June. Hence the
committee urges that all the we'll
children in Okolona and those as
far in the country as can, be
brought in the day of the test
which day will be announced in
the Messenger next week or
the week after.
There will be no charges for
this work. The Lanier Club
ladies will do the weighing and
measuring and the doctors will
lend medical aid and advice and
the merchants will contribute the
prizes. So bring all the babies.
1t is primarily for their good and
ultimately for the upbuilding OF
the nation.

Chairman.

He enlisted three years ago in the
Canadian forces, the 9th Canadian
Mounted Rifles. After being wounded at
yimy Ridge he was brought back to
Canada and was placed in a hospital at
Kingston, Ont, where it was found nec-
essary to smputste his second leg, it
having been thought at first that the
member could be saved. Later he was
transferred to a Toronto hospital.
The young man made the trip alone
from Toronto, or rather, that was the
intention, but he ran into some good
friends who helped him along the jour
ney, notably the Red Cross and sol

Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson have another

REMOTE SECTIONS
OF ALASKA GIVE MEN
Hunters, Trappers, Traders and Prospec-
tors Have Answered the Call of the
Draft and Have Come to the
States for Training.

Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 3l.--Draft calls
for men in the remote and far-away sec.
tions of Alaska have brought youths out
over many hard miles to report for serv-
ice. Hunters, trappers, traders and pros
pectors, in answer to the draft calls, have
come from tundra country un along the
arctic, the hills and valleys along the
Yukon river, and the remote mountain
sections of southeastern and southwest
ern Alaska. They have been modified
at Alaska forts and later sent to the
states for training.
One young man, Claude Harrison, re-
ceived his draft questionnaire as he was
making, plans for spending the coming
winter hunting and trapping In the Lake
Minchumina country, about 60 miles
northwest of Mount Mckinley.
Harrison Immediately dropped his
plans and set out on a l25-mile "mush"
to the Office Of the United States com
missioner at Kantishna. When he ar
rived he found the commissioner had
gone to Nenana, nearly 100 miles far
ther, so the long hike was continued on
until the official was foupd.
Twelve other young men, who gath.
cred at Marshal, Alaska, to board a
steamer for Nome, in answer 30 their
calls, found, on their arrival, that on
account of the slowness of the mails,
they had failed to receive their notihca-
tion in time and were classed as delin-
quents. They were cleared of the charges
when they explained the delay.
