WE BEAT, EN- AGAIN

Yesterday-in fact the past forty.
eight hours up to six o'clock yester-
day afternoon. the world had been
wondering what President Wilson
would say to Germany as a reply to
request for peace negotiations. The
whole world was waiting with baited
reath Every man who could read
word and manifest particle of in
crest in the outcome OF war wanted
to know Everybody was asking:
What will he say?
When the public got that first
vord it intimated that the Huns must
etrace their steps and leave all in
AIDED territory before even discus
ion can be taken up regarding an
rmistice Wilson asked Macmillan
neither he represents the German
eople or the authorities conducting
the war. He asked also if Germany
ecepts the terms laid down in the
ddress of January Sth and those
ubsequent

has arranged with the government
-that tndistricts which fill their quotas
CONSUMPTION will not be applied, even
though the Etotall Of volunteers falls
below the required $4,000 men.
II is general predicted that some of
the districts will fall far short of their
quotas. And there, CONSUMPTION is ex-
pected to be inaugurated, even at the
cost of resistance.
The objection of many young Irish
men to entering the army, and the
traditional Irish hostility to the War
Office is being met by recruiting
agents by pointing out the special
attractions of the Royal Air Force.
This service is not under control of
the War Office, and it has been adj
ded advantage of having many non
fighting positions.
Political feeling runs high, however
and the class of young men, who
make the best soldiers, the missile
troops" are not volunteering in
large numbers.
Two or three members of the
irish Parliamentary Party have iden-
titled themselves with the recruiting
campaign, but the party as a whole
has held aloof.
Side by side with the operations
of the recruiting council, Colonel
Lynch, member of parliament, is con
Quoting crusade of his own with
the view of organizing brigade
which he hopes to command. Colonel
Lynch fought on the side of the Beers
against Great Britain but his feelings
towards the present war have led
him to lay aside all racial feeling and
come out on the side of the Allies.

IRELAND'S QUOTA

Ireland soon may become patch

and on-conscription districts, ac-
cording to MEMBERS of the Irish re-
cruiting council, whose allotted time
for raising $4,000 volunteers as an
alternative to CONSUMPTION, is draw
ing to a close, with the allotment as
yet untitled.
The council, which is composed of
five Irishmen. Representing all part

districts, with quota for each, and

There is not citizen in Crisp coun.
ty who fails to respond to the call
for manifestation of a just pride
in the accomplishments of the bond
workers yesterday. 1t is reflection
of great credit to all the workers,
both men and women and especially
upon Chairman J. W. Cannon and
and the leading members of the COM
mittees.
And to the citizenship at large
much commentator is due for the
great loyalty to the country and the
men on the fighting front 1t is a
splendid example of the spread of
the idea "this is my war Very few
individuals are left who can stand a.
side and say they had no part. 1t is
our war and very nearly every citizen
long ago realized that and began do
ing his mart @ll .ffsatAlt+@
This is a showing for Crisp county
that will be referred to with pride in
the future when the bright-eyed
youngsters of today are the bent gray
forms of other years. Il is but
manifestation of our loyalty in an
effort of single day and the taking
of the amount Of bonds assessed
aginst US in so short a time will be
an example to others wherever it
may become known.
None of us have any intention to
quit. The campaign closes at the end
of the coming week 1t will be our
duty to make the campaign mean
most till that time We. must still
bring in those who have not taken
their bonds. 1t is our duty to keep
going for this is cause of which no
man, no woman should tire. The bonds
must be taken and that quickly.

The highest temperature ever re-
corded here was reached by the gov
ernment thermometer Saturday at
o'clock when it registered ia IL.
The highest preceding was twenty
years or more ago when it touched

for the day. On July 26 it was 10,
the preceding high mark for the
year. All last week with one excep-
ton the record was 1913 and 106.

HOW WHEAT FARMERS CAN
GET 5000 FOR SEEDING

Regulations under which drought
stricken farmers of the northwest
and southwest may obtain loans for
seed from the s5.OOO,OOO fund set
aside for that purpose by President
Wilson, were announced today by
the treasury and agricultural de-
partments, which will administer
the fund jointly Only farmers whose
credit and resources already are ex-
hausted, and who consequently can
not get advances privately from the
banks, may participate.
Loans will be limited TO SO per
acre. with a maximum of $500 and
will be payable at six per cent, Oc-
tober /, 1919 in southern districts.
and November /. 1919 in northern
districts. Federal land banks Will
make and collect the loans after de-
partment of agriculture agents have
Investigated and approved the ap-
lications. Applicants must agree to
use seeds and methods approved by
the department of agriculture.
The money will not be advanced
until the seeding is completed, but
a certificate will be given as the
basis for temporary credit. Each
borrower will be required to agree
that if his wheat yield is seven
bushels or more per acre he will
pay 25 per cent of his loan into a
guaranty fund to cover possible
losses to the government. Applicants
for loans, or banks wishing to as
sist are to apply to the federal land
bank of their district.

DID NOT
ORDER GARAGES TO CLOSE

An order restricting the sale OF
gasoline and oil for motor cars on
sundays and after o'clock week
days has been in effect here since
August /. In many cases when per-
sons have asked for gasoline they
have been told there was govern
ment order against it being sold ex-
cept during certain hours.
The war industries board and the
fuel administration at Washington
issued a statement to correct a
false impression.
1T is desired that 1t be clearly
understood that no order or recon-
mendations have been issued by any
government authority on the sub
ject." the statement said in part.
This makes it optional with deal
ers and they may now do as they
please in the matter E. f. Peake,
secretary of the Kansas City Motor
Car Dealers association, said per-
sons in authority had not made any
pretense that the closing order was
a government order. He said II was
part of a program of conservation
suggested by the war service com
mittee of the motor car dealers.
While the order has caused some
confusion among motorists in Abb
lene. it is believed they will become
accustomed to the change.

WHAT Is TO BE DONE
NOW-TAKE 1918 MEN?

1t is the governments turn to
move. Local draft boards have ex-
hausted their supply of men in the
1917 class and cannot meet furth-
er requests for contingents without
dipping into the deferred classes or
taking the 1918 class of boys. The
local board has received no infor.
nation as to what is to be done aft
er the men go August 9. It is prob
able, however, that 1918 men will
be taken now. Strict orders from
the government have prohibited the
local board from using 1918 regis
trans but this order will be changed
It is believed.

BOYS AND GUNS PROVE
NUISANCE TO FARMERS

Boys and guns are a bad combi-

a number of Dickinson farmers.
Last week three boys with guns
caused serious injury to mule be-
longing to Perry Nichols, and the
same day shot full of holes tank
belonging to E. w. Karl. A numb
er of Dickinson farmers have decid-
ed to prohibit trespassing on their
property solely on account of this
carelessness on the part of boys and

SUES FOR LOSS OF HIS
HORSES-ASKS $4OO

Milton Rohrer Nled suit in the
district court against Newbern
township, asking s4OO for the loss
of his horses which we're drowned

horses to fall into the creek when
the water was high. He asks $400
and interest on that amount.

r.. L. Hammand Of Hope Brings
Suit Against Three Men

Alleging that George Rock sold
all the wheat from farm which
is rented from the plaintiff and that
the defendant failed to give the
plaintiff the agreed two-fifths OF the
wheat crop, R. L. Hammond of Hope
brought suit against Mr.. Rock IN
the district court He is also suing
Emil Drummer and e. Rogers, who,
the plaintiff states, knew that all the
wheat did not belong to Rock when
they purchased it from him. He also
says that when he rented his farm
to Mr.. Rock in March, the agree
ment was that Hammond was to get
two-fifths of the crop. But the de-
fendant sold the wheat without CIV
ing the plaintiff the required amount
and Mr.. Hammond is asking for
$1,4O0 and interest on that amount.
