SOUVENIRS FROM
GREAT BATTLEFIELDS
IN WINDOW OF LOCAL STORE IS
GERMAN HELMET, GAS MASK
AND OTHER SOUVENIRS.

A war relics window at the Weav-
er Drug Co.'s arranged by Mesdames
L. B. Raines and j. A. Shields has
attracted a great deal of attention
and excited the deepest interest All
day Saturday the sidewalk about the
war-like display was thronged by
those eager to learn everything about
the souvenirs.
These relics from the battlefileds
were sent by Perry Cooke and HON.
er Patterson, and were loaned to the
committee to boost the liberty loan
drive. The attractive arrangement
of flags and bunting gives Just the
right setting. A large silk flag is
prominently displayed. Posters urg-
ing the buying of bonds make a sug-
gestive background.
The following are among the .arti
Giles in the window: Camoufaged
German helmet, German gas mask,
French shells, large gun caps, Amer
lean gas masks, part of captured
German zeppelin. Under the helmet
torn by two bullet holes is this sig
nificant placard: "Buy a bond and
help put more bullet holes in German
helmets"

followed, carrying a large silk BAN
ner beautifully mounted. Of special
interest was the county service flag
carried by Mr.. R. L. Saville and Mr..
): A. Shields. On a field of white the
blue figures GAS" stood out Impress
lvely. Citizens followed on foot and
nearly every one carried a small
United States flag.
The parade formed at the Metho-
dist church at A o'clock, and the line
OF march was down Seventh avenue
to Main street; turning into Lee the
procession halted at the court house
and joined in the singing of "Ameri-
ca" then back to the Methodist
church, where the crowd dispersed
and the children made merry on the
lawn for several hours. The women
who were in charge have received
much praise for their patriotic efforts
to arouse interest in the fourth liber-
ty loan drive, which is regarded as the
most vitality important of all the war
measures put before the people of
the United States.

HUNDREDS JOINED
IN LIBERTY PARADE
PATRIOTIC OUTPOURING OF THE
PEOPLE. BIG SERVICE FLAG
WAS ONE OF FEATURES.

All business houses in the city
very periodically closed for the lib
ertv loan parade Wednesday after
noon, and while all the business men
did not march in the procession they
lined the sidewalks and looked inter
osted. There was no demonstration or
outburst of enthusiasm, and it may be
that the sight of the mothers bearing
the service flags silenced the cheers
that otherwise would surely have
erected the stars and stripes.
The Boy Scouts, with their Scout
master, Rev. T. M. Galloway, made
fine showing in their uatty uniforms.
The notes from the bugle were the
only strains of martial music, Daw-
sons band members being in real
service on the fields of France. Next
came the school children, the flags
futtering all down the line, making
an inspiring sight. Mayor Weaver

coming of Hon. Price Gilbert, of Co.
lumbus, who will speak in Dawson on
the 18th of October. This distinguish
ed Georgian, who has received so

of the liberty loan is greatly appre-
ciated here as well as all over the
state.
October 18th will be celebrated as
the anniversary of the discovery of

a proclamation requesting the people
to observe it as a holiday.

who can devote one day in the week
to helping with these soldier supplies
will find garments cut and ready for

drop into the busy work room.
Many women who find that they
cannot spend the day at the work
room are making the garments in
their homes, as they find it conven-
lent.
A box packed and shipped few
days ago represented the combined
efforts of workers from every section
of the county. 1t contained one hun
dred and eighty garments, and was
valued at $275.00. Another shipment
will be ready in a few days and the
demand constantly grows heavier as
a result of the fierce fighting at the
front, which daily swells the casual

Food Production and Conserva-

DAWSON SUFFRACETTES
HAVE DONNED OVERALLS
Discard Conventional Dress, and Dig
in Garden Thus Clad.

Some of the suffragettes in Daw-
son have donned overalls and dig in
their gardens quite after the style
of the pictures in the funny papers.
1t remains to be seen whether the
fashion will be adopted by others. 1t
is a safe guess, however, that the
majority will cling to the good old
style of frills and furbelows so dear
to the feminine heart. Here's hoping
that the bungalow apron so wonder
fully becoming and serviceable as
well may not be consigned to the
scrap heap. If the war brought the
overall fashion for women there's an
other mighty good reason for spur
ing up the fight on the Hun. Buy an
other liberty bond!

 Men Ground Into the Earth.
 Not only that, but a large number of men were caught beneath the tanks and ground into the earth.
 Prisoners estimate that at least two, and probably three German com panies were wiped out in a few min utes.
 The machines returned in such hor- rible condition from the sfanIbles that they had to be washed down.
 German Had FriehtfuI Experience.
 One German prisoner had rough experience with the small tanks and lived to tell the story, although he was much shaken as a result of his eXperi- ence. He got separated from his unit and was hiding in a shell hole near Cachy when a tank charged directly over. the hole. It was deep enough to protect the German, but he was sc terrified that he lost consciousness and was just regaining his senses wher l the performance was repeated by 2 second tank. Again he escaped, an6 saved himself further trials by being | captured.
 Only four German tanks appear tt have been in the action Wednesday ] about Villers- -Bretonneux, although numbers of others are rumored tC have been assigned to participate il | the attack.

TRAINING CAMPS
All Are Standardized For FaeiIitat.
 ing Operations.

Washington, D. C., April 26.-Major Granville Eortescue, U. $. A., in a com- munication to the National Geographic Society, gives concise picture of the cantonments in which America's New National Army is being housed during its period of training before embarking for service in France. A part of Major Fortescues communication is issued by the society as a bulletin in it's war geography series, as follows:
 While the ground, or terrain, as it is called in military phraseology, in some cases necesstated variation in the outline of the streets of the camps the standardized shape of the sixteen National Army cantonments is simi- lar to the letter UP, with division headquarters situated at the bend of the letter, and the soldiers houses spread regularly through the branches
 It is seen at once that this plan gives highly centralized city location Although the measured outline of the branches of the 'sU" equal 2z miles. and sometimes more on the ground, all units are compact in themselves and closely omitted to the headquarters Of additional military advantage is the fact that the camp is located so that the receiving depots and supply ware houses are built facing railroad spurs, paralleling the long side branches of the "U", thus making for the rapid distribution of supplies in the present while assuring the fcile authorization of troops in the future.

First Estimate of 1917 Lumber Cut.

A lumber production of 39, 200, GOO, GOO feet in the United States in 1917 is the preliminary estimate of the Fed eral forest service, based on incom- plete reports received up to February 26. About one- half of the 34000 mills listed by the forest service and the National Lumber Manufacturers As sociation had at that time made re- ports. Because of the need for an ac- curate census, caused by the country's wartime demands for lumber, officials in charge of the work are urging de- linquent mills to report as soon as possible.
 The estimate is based upon the re- ported cut of 845 identical sawmills each of which cut five million feet or more lumber in either 1917 or the pre- ceding year. The reports of these mills indicate that in nine States there was an increase in production and in he rest of the country a decrease. The largest increase was in Missouri, where the gain was over the 1916 cut was al- most A per cent In the South, Lou isiana, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama showed increases varying up to about 10 per cent. Wisconsin and Michigan, in the North, and Washington and Oregon in the Northwest, were the only States in which the cut in- creased. North Carolina, with a de- crease of more than p per cent, showed the greatest falling off in production. Maine had shortage of about 20 per cent. The reports from other States indicate varying percentages of de- crease, with an average for all States of per cent.
