YOUR DUTY At THIS CRITICAL Time


opened Saturday morning at o'clock.
In many localities the monnentous
event was ushered in amid patriotic de-
monstratons, and the entire quotas en-
Enthusiastically taken before the first hour
of the great drive had passed.
We were not as active in Rankin
county as we should have been.
However, many Of our citizens made
it a point to 90 to the bank and buy as
literally as their means would permit.
They have faithfully and voluntarily
discharged duty that every true ana
oval citizen owes to his country.
They feel better by having discharged
this duty.
However, those who have bought
Bonds represent only very small per
cent of those who are expected to buy
and who MUST buy, before the end of
the drive
This is the most critical period in our
history.
Our Freedom depends upon our 10y
atty in properly sustaining our brave boys
and allies on the western front.
They are shedding their blood for us,
and we should cheerfuIIy and gladly loan
our money for their support.
Rankin county has produced many
great and iIIustrious nen---sons who
would have not only gladly given their
money, but who would have freely sacr-
feed their LIES blood for the very prInc-
piles for which we are fighting for today.
Are we going to uphold and maintain
this proud record Of vaIor and fidelity es-
tabIished by our forefathers, or are we 90
ina to permit it to trail in the dust by 1av-
ina our Government force us to our per-
form our duty!
The News feels sure--in fact, we
know---that our derIIect Of duty is not for
the lack of love for Freedom and devotion
to our great and glorious country, but our
letharuy and Indifference is due to- the
fact that we havn't fully awakened to the
seriousness of the situation, and have
failed to consider what German victory
would mean to U.s.
Your Banker is your Governments
local representative. Go to him and talk
the matter over; doesn't make any diff
ference whether you feel able to buy a
Bond or not; 90 to him and show him
that your heart is in the right place.
After you have conferred with him, if
he tells you your financial condition does
not warrant you in making the purchase
of even $50 Bond, then you have per-
formed your full duty, and deserve as
much honor and praise as the man who
has bouuht a million dollars worth.
Hundreds of people who even a week
ago imagined they were not able to buy
even a $50 Bond on the instannent plan,
after talking the matter over with their
banker, were delighted with the plan, and
subscribed on the spot, going away hap
py, conscious of duty we'll done.
Later on we are going to print list
under the head of our honor roll Of every
person in Rankin county who has bought

WANT RAILROAD men
IN DEFERRED CLASS
lRv Assnciatsd press.l

Washington, Feb. 20.-Deferred
draft classification for railroad en-
ployes is under consideration be-
tween the department and the rail-
road administration, it became known
today.
The war department objects to
giving special consideration to rail-
way employees as a class insisting
that the case Of each man should be
considered individually as to whether
he is indispensable.
This policy does not satisfy the
railroad administration which con-
tends that few railroad men are
actually indispensable and that un-
less some uniform action is prescrib-
ed, local exemption boards may be
inclined to refuse deferred ciassifica-
tion to thousands of necessary en-
ployes who have no dependents.
Nearly SOC, 900 railroad men are with
in the draft age. But the actual
number which would be affected by
such a ruling is estimated at less
than 100000.

WatermeIons.

Since there is to be such a bumper
peach crop this year, it is probable
that the watermelon crop will be
short.
AS rule, watermelons sell best
when peaches are scarcest. Inasmuch
as transportation facilities are limited
and more substantialfood crops are
necessary, it is perhaps well that the
farmer trun his attention os other
crops than watermel0ns.
The watermelon is always planted
with great risk anyway. Carloads are
frequently shipped to consumers, and
scarcely sell for enough to pay the
freight The farmer can plant such
crops this year and next as are sure
70 sell for a good prices. There is no
necessity for him to take any risk If

him still plant corn and c0tton.-Val
