Special to Times Republican.
Dcs Moines, May 17.-With it's quota
fixed at s1,5OO,OOO Iowa will launch
it's second war fund campaign for the
American Red Cross next Monday
May 20, the drive to extend thru the
week.
The national campaign for the Red
Cross, in every state next week. Is for
$1c0,000,O0O, but leaders in the move
ment expect to obtain perhaps a
fourth more than that, it was said
here.
Iowa's quota is based on the pop
ulation of the state, the per capita
wealth, and the interest and ability
shown in previous campaigns for
funds for war work.
John P. Wallace, Of Des Moines,
state chairman OF the drive, said the
total amount sought in the country is
lower than it should be, as it was fig
ured out several months ago, before
the tremendous expense Of the recent
work on the western front.
Iowa should raise at least s2,000,-
600 during this drive, tor this is a
wonderfully wealthy and prosperous
state" Mr.. Wallace said. II believe il
each Of the 16s Red Cross chapters Of
the state do their utmost the drive
will total more than $1,000, 000.'
Every dollar of the amount raised
will go for war work. All expenses
of the campaign will be borne by the
Red Cross chapters. Twenty-Five peg
cent of the funds are Kept there for
the purchase of the materials.
May 1e 9 big red Cross parade is
planned for each of the 16s chapters,
and Sunday, May 10, has been des-
day all the church services will in
clude special services for the Red
Cross and ministers will make an ap-
peal for the loyal support of the
drive.
"We are confident that every chap
ter is so organized" Chairman Wal
lace said, that when the campaign
starts May 20 every home in the state
will be visited by members of the
organization and the appeal Of the
Red Cross presented.
"No cause means more to our boys
over there who are fighting our
! battles. Getting behind this campaign
should be considered a privilege, fol
it is for the purpose of procuring tbs
| best care possible for the boys at the
front.
1.-THE care, attention and assistance
| rendered by the Red Cross will enable
many of our boys to return home who
otherwise would be lost as witness the
testimony of many soldiers who de-
clare they owe their lives to the Red
Cross
Chairman Wallace asks that every
person able to contribute take this
to heart: IF you could see into mo-
| mans land, and if you saw your
brother, or son, or sweetheart lying
there wounded, and if your money
could bring him back to safety anc
| life-how much would you contribute
It may be your brother, or sweetheart
or son-and if not yours that of
dear friend or, at any rate, that OF
someone who is fighting your battles
that you may rest in peace and secur-
| ity at home with your family"

Noxubee County Farm Notes
Wheat Campaign.

Wheat Campaign.
We are pleased to note the Noxubee
farmers are practically responding to
the first appeals made to them to rain
wheat. We contend that the farmer is
just as patriotic as any other man,
once the issue is made plainto him. He
understands now why he should buy
bonds and stamps and he is doing 1t.
Soon as the Southern farmer under
stands his duty to his country to raise
food, he will do it. Doubtless the
prospects of getting no biscuits will
cause some wheat to be grown, but we
believe a higher motive will induce our
farmers to raise their own wheat Tor
bread.
However, the same Question is being
asked here in the Southland that was
asked US elsewhere in wheat propo.-
ganda work: "How much will the
government require for their share?'
The answer is n The government
is as king the South to feed itself and
M more.
Abruzzi Rye.
For a cover crop we are going to use
Abruzzi rye. 1t is the best rye for
the South. Some farmers have bought
seed claimed to be Abruzzi Rye and
have found it no better than any
other. There is probably more misrepre-
s~entation in the seed business than
any other with which the farmer is
concerned. We want to order in some
real Abruzzi Rye.
The Labor Shortage.
The South is experiencing its first
short labor. We predict it will never
have cheap labor again, nor is it desir-
able that it should. There can be nc
real progress with it. The South now
must figure on labor as a necessary
and expensive factor in production.
That is, it will have to make economi-
cal use of its labor. The question now
is can the cheap Southern unskilled
labor become skilled? If Southern
labor is to become in any sense skilled
in handling livestock. machinery and
growing diversified crops. the labor
must necessarily have better housing
and sanitary conditions. and have bet
ter opportunities to be thrifty-al this
without disturbing the established
social status. That is the South's
labor problem must be much greater
than this shortage of labor indicates,
and deserves the best thought of the
Southern people. The problem is
peculiar to itself and must be worked
out here for the first time.
To Club Members.
We are planning to use tents to live
in at our annual camp next month.
You should at once make efforts tc
secure your tents. This duty devolves
upon the club presidents mostly.
