Begin to plan now for the next Lib
erty Bond campaign. 1t is coming
probably some time in April. And
you will be expected to do your part.
You men who still believe, right
down in your hearts, that this is a
rich mans war" pay attention to
this. The fnanciers, bankers and BIZ
business men of the nations are and
nave been carrying their end of the
load. Perhaps they would like to
'crawfish" but that does not matter
so far as results are concerned. As
the facts stand, they have to come
across. 1t is the little fellow" that
reeds to be prodded into action-that
needs to be shown that while his part
may be small, he is under just as
great obligations to do that part, as
he man that can give millions.

Floyd NJ. Wilson of the d. A. NJ. &

urday after a week in Chicago with
the Feed Industries Committee of the
United States Food Administration.
Mr. Wilson represents the alfalfa
milling industry on this committee of
thirty-five leading feed manufGctur-
ers.
The most important action Of the
meeting was a resolution to the presi-
dent asking that prices on corn, oats,
rye, barley and all kinds of hay be
fixed by the government.
The war is a very real and present
hing in the big industrial centers and
while there may be some differences
of opinion as to the wisdom of some Of
Mr. Hoover's measures, the feed men
are able to appreciate the difficulties
under which he has to work anG they
are as one in their determination to
uphold his hands and to cooperate in
every possible way.

When No. pulled in to the depot
on Monday there was a big crowd of
citizens on hand to bid good luck and
godspeed to two of Lamar's most pop
ular young men, who were leaving to
enlist, j. Alva Carrico and Henley
(Bones) Smith. Both have been efii-
cient members of the postoffice force
for several years, and both will be
greatly missed. They left for Des
Moines to join the 313th Division OF
the Signal Corps training at Camp
Dodge. Both are competent, clean
young men who will make good in
whatever they undertake. They vol
unfairly placed themselves in Glass la
and applied for immediate enlistment.
The postoifice force closed the office
for short time in order to see them
off, and the typographical union of
which Alva had long been u promin-
ent member was out in force to bid
goodbye to its first recruit.

birth, was in November discharged
from Company C, 157th infantry
Camp Kearny, California, on account
of catarrhal condition of the nose. He
reported to the local board at Lamar

have an operation performed, if one
would be beneficial, in order that nc
might again enter the service Of his
adopted country with the hope that
at an early date he could return tc
his company and be on the firing line
in France. He not only desired to
answer the call of Uncle Sam but was
more than anxious to render what as
