Next to the aggregate number of
subscribers, perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of the third Liberty loan
was the support given it by the farm
ing and rural populations of the
country, according to a statement
by the Treasury Department. Not
only did the farmers purchase liber-
ally of the bonds, but the rural
communities as a rule were more
prompt in completing their quotas
of the loan than the larger cities.
More that 10000 communities in
the United States subscribed or over
subscribed their quotas, MANY of
them on the first day of the cam
paign. The majority of these were
not cities, but country districts.

An Appreciated Letter.

Guntown, Miss, r 2. June 27, rs
Editors of the Vidette, Iuka, Miss
Dear Sirs-
have intended for some time
to write you how much | enjoy an6
appreciate your good paper which
is so well edited and always on the
side OF righteousness, and good gov
eminent, town, county, state, ma.
tional, sand International. We need
to have papers, in all our counties
like yours, so true and loyal, ready
to stand by every good organiza.
ton and every good enterprise, and
by the church and the Bible.
| agree with you heartily that the
Kaiser's power must be completely
crushed and the power of Austria
and Turkey, for that Kaiser and his
forces are horrible characters who
would steal and violate every law
of God and every righteous law OF
mankind. By their crimes they
have forfeited all right to live, much
less to have any authority over
others. Right is stronger than
might and will prevail in the end,
for the God who gave US the Bible
is unchangeably ON the side of right,
The Bible teaches honesty, truth
fulness, love, mercy, justice. A
person might have the' power to
shoot another and steal his money
but that does not make it right and
there will be just judgment at
death if not before.
| thank you both then for your
GOOD LOYAL PAPER, and for the KIND
WORDS you have written about me.
A kind word helps us all and | want
you to know that you do deserve
kind words for your good paper and
you reach larger audience than |
do. Ny wish is that your useful
ness may ever increase.
| will preach again 1st Sabbath
II o'clock and communion services
after the sermon, All are invited
Glad to have you both at any serv-
ice. Your true friend.

Substitute Potatoes For VI h a,

To save the wheat which must go
to the Allies, Miss Susie v. Powell,
State Director of Home Economics,
is urging that Irish potatoes, 80
abundant this year, be used as a
substitute for the wheat.
Com" she said. is being used
in Mississippi to a greater extent
than any other substitute, and be-
cause of this increase in the con-
sumption of corn for human food,
and the need to use it for feed stuff
for the increased number of livestock
in our state it is necessary to stress
the use of other substitutes such as
rice, oatmeal, sweet and Irish
potatoes"

Camp Harry J. Jones,

We are now StanOned IN Doug
las, Arizona. We left Iuka May
10th, arriving in New Orleans, La,
the next day. We were carried out
to Camp Nichols. That afternoon
we were examined and measured
for uniforms. The following Tues
day we were called out of our Bar
racks and told TO get ready to leave
for Arizona, That evening we were
lined up and marchedlto the nearest
street car line. Arriving at the
station, there was a special Pullman
train waiting for US. There were
four hundred andafifty of us.
We were from Miss. La, and Ark.
We were on the train from Tuesday
night until Friday morning. Our
first time to get off the train, was
at Marshal, Texas. We were taken
off the train and given about one
hour exercise. At Ft, Worth, Dal-
las and El Paso we were met at the
train by the Red Cross ladies'. who
gave us candy, tobacco, fruits.
stamps, post cards and all kinds of
literature, which Me appreciated
very much. After leaving El Paso
we began to see nothing but sand,
cactus and coyotes .We.stopped at
Columbus New Mexico about 30
minutes. That is where the U. S.
had trouble with Nalla the noted
bandit. On our arrival in Douglas
we were met by the Troop Com
manders and carried out in cars to
camp. The next morning we were
assigned to our troops, which we
are now in. The next day we were
attacked by one of Arizona's sand
storms.
There are four Regiments of Cav
airy stationed here, the LIST, 18th,
302nd and 30Sth. There are about
five thousand soldiers here. The
camp is named for 4 Private who
was killed in a Mexican raid last
year. Arizona is very healthful
country being four thousand five
hundred feet above sea level.
We have very cool nights, having
to sleep under two heavy wool blank
cts. The days are warm but do not
effect us like southern heat. Our
camp is surrounded by mountains.
We are situated one mile from the
Mexican Border. Last Sunday we
went over to the. border. They have
wire fence separating Mexico and
u. S. There are mounted guards rid
ing the line day and night. We are
equipped with everything now ex-
cept our horses. The officers told
us they expected fifteen hundred
Bronchos in few weeks, and then
we think we will be ready to go
over the top"
Douglas is a nice little city having
about fifteen thousand inhabitants.
Our camp is located one mile from
the city. We have a Y. M. C. A.
in camp and also one in Douglas,
which we think very much of. We
have a soldiers club, which is very
convenient when up town.
1t only rains here two months in
a year; that is July and August, so
you can see Arizona is Bone Dry"
With best wishes, from,

With covert of down and filets of

And downy pillows piled in place,

And blood and bones and brains of

Cloy from the grave of soldier bow
And while Gods starr their vigil

And while the waves the white sands

He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days and
throuh all the years.
There should be an anthem in his

Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of

AS lovely a castle as ever could be.
