YOUR SHARE is FAIR"
Individual Allotments for Iowa County

An enthusiastic meeting of the Loca
Chairmen of the Iowa County Liberty
Loan Committee was held in the Court
House in Dodgevile on March 22nd.
Every town. city and village in the
county was represented.
t, Nj. Priestley presided at the meet
ing and W. s. Egan acted as Secretary.
The work of the coming Liberty Loan
Campaign was outlined in considerable
detail, but the most important action
was in regard to individual allotments.
BY the unanimous vote of the meet
ing it was decided that committee of
five apportion Iowa county's allotment
among the respective towns. villages
and cities and that, then, the local
chairmen should apportion the amount
allotted to each community among the
residents of the community in accord.
ance with the net worth Of the various
individuals.
The basis of this plan is the slogan
"Your Share is Fair" Every resident
of Iowa county will be personally solic-
tied and will be expected to subscribe
for the amount of bonds that is assigned
to him by his local committee. The
absolute fairness of this plan will appeal
to every citizen who believes in the
principle that the burdens of the war
ought to be borne by all the people and
not by the few.
The exact amount apportioned to
Iowa county has not been decided upon,
but as soon as it is the apportionment
will be made and every citizen will soon
learn what his share is.

Bessemer. May 12.-(Special.) .)-The local exemption board has received orders to send D4 white men for the next draft. Members of the board have taken up this matter with the adjutant general, stating they have only 150 white men left in Class l. At the same time Bes- semer is required to send in 61 negroes and this contingent will begin to entrain on May 25.
 The present shortage is due largely to the enlistment of Class 1 men, as within the past few months a large number of select men in Class l have enlisted in the various special corps and mechanical branches of the army. Practically none ot the negro selectmen in Class l have enlisted and there are TOO in Bessemer.
 Following a message from the local ex emption board regarding the status of affairs here, Adj. Gen. c. J. Hubbard advised that he would look into the mat ter, as he had not completed work on the allotments

A BIRMINGHAM MAN
 SUFFERED AGONY
J. c. Mccoy of Germania Park, R. F. D. 1, Says Plant Juice Restored
 Him to Health

To all who suffer from the symptoms of a deranged stomach, liver or kidney trouble and rheumatism, immediate re lief is at hand in the use of Plant Juice the new herbal stomach remedy, now being introduced here at Nortons drug store, corner of Second avenue ana Twentieth street.
 Nothing that science has put forth from the laboratory of nature has so quickly sprung into worldwide fame and prom thence as has this preparation. Wher- ever introduced it has taken immediate hold on the public and brought forth words Of praise from people in all walks and stations of life. It does all that is claimed for it and more, as verified by the statements of people living in your home city. Possibly your next-door n.ishbor has proven that this notable . remedy has been remarkably success full as a germ destroyer, a tissue builder and "huilder-up'' of wasted organs.
 For instance. the signed testimonial of MT J. G. Mccoy, who resides in Bir- mingham, and whose address is Ger mania Park, R. F. D. No l. has been received. Mir Mccoy is well known salesman whose word is absolutely un- questioned He said
 Two years ago l was suffering from a bad case of stomach trouble-indiges tion and dyspepsia-and at that time was in Washington, D. c. I noticed where Plant Juice was being sold in the Peoples drug store in that city, and bought four bottles. It helped me from the very first day I began. to take it, and it sure helped me in great shape. can now eat any kind of food without distress: can sleep the night through, am no longer nervous or dizzy and, in fact, am feeling like a new man, with out ever having a return of my stomach trouble. I give this testimonial in the hopes that someone will read it and. be influenced to try Plant Juice that suffer as I did"
 Such words as these and those of many others which have been printed have wide influence, for they come from men of standing and integrity, who have given Plant Juice fair trial and have been benefited thereby.
 The Plant Juice man is at Norton's drug store, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street, in Birmingham, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this truly remarkable remedy. Free samples given.-Adv.
