by Dr.. G. B Mitchell Of Branson,
Chairman Of TaDey County having in
charge the sale ol these war savings

We are having some fine spring
weather and the farmers are all busy
getting in their spring crops, some
complain that the ground is little dry.
Hugh Wilson is laid up with what
is supposedly the mumps. He called
the doctor in Monday. Several other
cases Of mumps among the children
are occurring every day. And at this
time Of the year when every one is
needed in the fed and garden but it
cannot be helped as everything was
done to try ald control it when it first
came into the Deighborhood.
We can report one land sale this
week, that OF r. L. Can'welI to Nathan
Macomb's father, but We do not know
the consideration.
Alter nearly week in Gllena at
tending court +. S. Powell, J. W. Vim
ing G, H. Boraker and J w. Lynch
returned home only with the satislac'
ton to attend court again next fall.
The fine herd Of short horn cows
that E, A. Drumm shipped in are now
turning out some nice calves and soon
Mr.. Drumm will have one Of the finest
herds in the county.
Trains are not running qaite 50 thick
in hocks as they did last week, which
shows that they are getting caught up
with their work.
We do not know what tf ct the set
ting up OF time will have on Us, as
it is we are in the habit Ct eating break
fast at ZOO a. m. but the name Of eat
ing breakfast at 500 a. M. will look
bad. And imagine the farmer looking
up at the sun 10 see if it is noon and
then getting in to dinner about one
o'clock and also coming to take rain
some place and be an hour slow. There
is a chance Tor some confusion but we
must have some change somewhere 10
show that we are keeping up with the
times.
Some remarks are occasionally il.
dulged in over the Food Laws as you
notice We are advised TO raise more and
eat less. It was once upon a time
when we could not eat enough to keep
up with the production.

a man who had studied the situation
and was fully versed in the true condi-
tions that confront the American peo-
pie. AS never before, the character OF
the adversary, his utter disregard oil all
humanity, his devlish tiendishness, and
the danger TO our free government 1t
he should succeed in his sinister designs
on the European battle fields, or in the
realms Of diplomacy, was portrayed TO
the people Of Forsyth.
This appeal was not in vain. On
account Of shortness Of time in adver
tising this meeting, the audience was
only fairly large, quite number OF our
people being out Of town, but this en-
thusiastic audience quickly pledged
s2,535, and many took their cards
home 10 consider exactly what they
could do, and undoubtedly this amount
will be swelled. Arrangements we're
quickly made to cover every sch h'ol
district in the County, and corps OF
volunteer speakers speedily organized.
The people are firm in their determio
alton to go over the top" for Taney
County's quota of $l82,000, and thev
will do it.
There was also meeting in the
afternoon with children OF the Forsyth
School in attendance, Our children
were also aroused TO the need OF buy
ing thrift stamps, and favorable result
will be shown in future purchases By
the school pupils.
Forsyth's response adds another bright
page to its record for patriotism ant
progressiveness. Branson has already
responded noblY 10 like appeal, and
with these shining examples, the
County will respond, and the quott
will be secured, and probably oversub
scribed. Let US all do our utmost t
throttle that dangerous enemy Of man
kind that has arisen over the seas.
