The bonds are not convertible and
are rot subject to call for redemption

PASTURE CHEAP FEED FOR
PIGS.

Z Pasture is cheap pig feed while
grains are high priced. A big pasture
will mean more than ever this year.
Alfalfa is Of the very best pasture
crops. 1t starts early and keeps on
sending up new tender shoots ana
keeps green throughout the summer.
Sweet clover is also very good. In
case neither Of these are available
then come crop as barley can be sown.
Rape is another good plant for this
purpose. Peas planted by May 1st
win be ripe by August and makes
good hog feed, while corn can be plant
ed for hogging down. This will cut
down on both the labor and feed costs.

HON. J. W. GEORGE
RESIGNS OFFICE
Of L. s. Attorney For Southern Dis
trict TO Devote Attention to
Planting interests.

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 12-Keep-
ing his own counsel in regard to his
intentions, J. w. George, United
States attorney for the Southern Dis
trict of Mississippi, tonight forwarded
to the Department of Justice, Wash
ington, his resignation, to be effective
Jan. /, 1919. As stated by Mr.. George
owing tn his large planting interests
in the delta, which requires his con-
stant attention, he finds that he can
not properly look after the govern
ment business in the manner which it
demands without neglecting his ex-
tersive private affairs. He has had
this step under consideration for
some time, hoping to find way
whereby he might at least serve out
his four-year official term.
When the late K. c. Lee, who was
district attorney, died in 1918. Mr..
George was serving as assistant dis
trict attorney, and upon the death Of
his chief, he was appointed as the
successor to the former, having serv-
ed about three years. As Mr.. George
stated tonight he has not the remot-
est idea who will become aspirants to
succeed him, that is a matter for the
next few weeks to determine.
Mr.. George expects to remove to
Greenwood, where he will make his
home and will make arrangements to
change just as soon as he is relieved.

VOLUNTEER DAYS
ARE EXTENDED
1t Is Hoped By Thursday Night Le-
flore County's Quota Will Have
Been Subscribed

The Volunteer Days for the United
War Work Campaign have been ex-
tended through Thursday, owing to
the fact that the celebration which
took place on Monday caused a num-
Der to neglect to subscribe their
quotas. The fact that peace is almost
here is another evidence why every
one should subscribe their quotas in
appreciation of the boys who have
done so much for us.
Many have subscribed but every
person in Leflore County should
promptly go to the headquarters and
pay in their full assessment. There
is no more fitting way to celebrate
our victory than to over-subscribe
your quota.

wealth from jackson, Miss, regarding
the campaign, follows:

ported by several counties in Misis-
sippi today as subscribed or collected

The primary election for City Com
