EullOf hecofu;
In answer to "lwan Tono"
we wish to say that Observer
investigated the laxity with
which the supervisor of roads
conducts his work in his district
and finds the claim is iusti-
fed; but that Mr.. Field is not
the man. and that Mr.. Smith was
unaequainted with his methods.
Owing to the strenuous work
the writer is doing in the berry
patch. he will be unable TO open
the ball game ON county commits
sioner until next week.
We will expect ''Iwan Tono
to be at the bat. for the balls
will be swift, with few curves.
and the batter will not have an
opportunity to dodge. Straight
hits will be the only thing that
will save him. Observer.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

To successfully finance the war
it is necessary that owners of
Liberty bonds hold their bonds
if possible. Where for any good
reason it is necessary for them
to turn their bonds into cash
they should seek the advice of
their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very
desirable investments, and crafty
individuals are using various
means to secure them from own
ers not familiar with stock val
ues and like matters. One meth
cd is to offer to exchange for
Liberty bonds stocks or bonds Of
doubtful organizations represent
ed as returning much higher
income than the bonds.
There are various other meth
DDS used and likely to be used
some of the gold-brick variety
and others less crude and prob
ably within limits Of the law.
All offers for Liberty bonds ex,
cept for money and at market
value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest
of investments and have nontax.
able and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan
bonds, if possible, is patriotic.
To consult your banker before
selling them is wise.

Burton. TO reach Gig Harbor
and the important island country
across the way from Vashn it is
necessary for antoists 10 make
long and tortuous journey thro
Olympia and Shelton. Fortu-
nately, good boat service by pri-
vate companies to both centers
provides for passenger traffic.
Many, many months ago it was
triumphantly decided that Pierce
county should have ferry to Gig
Harbor and Vashon. Later il was
determined to install an adj
ditional ferry across the Narrows
at the end of Sixth avenue. Ne
ither of these ferries are in ope-
ration, nor viii they be this year.
Meanwhile King county improves
its service while Pierce county al

SAVE $4,000, 600 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY

Farmers, Urged by Food AdmInistra.
ton. Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley.
oats, rye and other grains, is shown BY
reports from 80 grain states. to the o.
g. Food Administration. Other states.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
~ per cent the estimated average
/ In normal times-to the lowest posi-.
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the Official
Recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous Instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the Aelds to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsi0n were COM
paratfvely rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshing campaign to %
triotic service By farmers, thresheF.
men and their crews Incidentally

AEROPLANE VISITS OUR
 CITY LAST SUNDAY

Without any notice what ever, an aeroplane from Eberts Field, Lonoke, came over to our town Sunday morning and after circling our little city several times, landed in the field just east of town about nine o'clock.
 The noise of the motor at- tracted hundreds of people who were awakened from their peaceful Sabbath slumber and when the plane landed rushed out to see it.
 The gentleman aviator at the levers came over to visit Miss Jewel Daniel, one of our fairest and most winsome blondes, but having failed to receive the telegram stating that he would be here, to his disappointment the fair lady was out of town.
 The machine was left under guard in the field until about six o'clock where it was view ed by hundreds of people who came from Augusta, Grays, Beedeville, DeView and other towns to see it.
 All engagements and dates were broken and the churches both white and colored, held no services because everyone had gone to see the airship which was the second to ever visit McCrory and the first to land anywhere in Woodruff county. Never before was there anything in our town which caused as much excite ment and commotion among both town and country folk and many are the tales and jokes since it went away. The machine which bore the number 3906, was piloted by Lieut.. keene, who was accom- panied by Lieut.. Pendleton, an observer. The trip from Lon oke to McCrory was made in about 55 minutes.
 Our younger set entertained the fiers and assured them of hearty welcome at any tme they may visit us again, guar anteeing also that Miss Daniel would be at home the next time.
 We are glad they came and we hope to have the pleasure of another visit from the above gentlemen any time they care to point the nose of their big machine our way.

CELEBRATION

at the POssum Creek School House at which place they had built an arbor for the purpose of celebrating the fourth of July. At an early hour the peo- pie began to assemble from all parts of the county and by 10 o'clock there were between 400 and 500 people on the ground and the program of the day was publicly made known by E. E. Werner, who was elected general manager for the day, and let us say here that the good people made no mistake in selecting this very worthy individual for that inn portant office, for he rendered his services cheerfully and made the day a pleasant one both socially and spiritually for each and every one.
 Indeed it was d day enjoy ed by all who attended, each one feeling that they had been wonderfully benefited by the song service which was render ed by the different leaders present.
 The morning prayer was of fered by Rev. Blackstone, the forenoon address rendered by Rev. J. R. Nelson of McCrory. The address given by Rev. Nell son was far above the average usually given on an occasion of this kind. His thought was clear and to the point, lifting his hearers to a higher plane of spiritual thought and life.
 The welcome address was made by Rev. A. A. Ander- son, which made the many peo- pie feel that they had come to the right place to enjoy them selves and have a good time together. The benediction was said by Bro. Leisinger.
 The noon hour, by far the most important part of the oc- casion to some, was enjoyed in feasting on the good things prepared by the ladies who were present.
 The extra meats served were that of barbecued hog donated by Bro. Geo. Skinner and fish purchased by the community for the occasion.
 At the close of the afternoon program a collection was talk en to defray the expenses of the day the balance to be do- mated to the Red Cross.
 The expenses were all very cheerfully met and a nice sum of $9.21 was raised for the Red Cross. The closing song was God Be With You Till We Meet Again."
 Late in the afternoon the people left for their homes, feeling they had spent the day pleasantly and profitably.
 The afternoon program was patriotic in nature, the song service was composed of such songs as America, Star Span gled Banner, The Rec, White and Blue, etc.
 The prayer was offered by
