be much shorter than the normal
crop in the Trezevapt section this
spring from the fact that the seed
beans are so scarce. What seed
can be obtained now are selling at
$50 to 500. 80 per bushel. which is
about three times the usual price
for seed beans. The high price of
the seed and scarcity of the supply
may mean a considerable loss to the
farmers of that section.

Town and County News

Wheatless and MeatIess Days
Since wheatless days and meatless days
afford a chance for all to serve,
For freedoms sake, we undertake
To show the world we have the nerve;
Wen do without some things we wish
Consume little less;
Or substitute another dish
And fare as well, | guess.
Since wheatless days and meatIess days
Are rather blessings in disguise,
It's not for US to raise a fuss,
But fall in line and "Hooverize";
However, that don't mean to hoard
For further "aftergreed",
But rather, share our frugal board
With some one else-in need.
Since wheatless days and meatless days
In all the world are quite in style,
It's just-we should and must
Share with our allies for while,
BY aiding them without pause
In all that's fair and right,
We breathe new life into the cause
For which our soldiers fight.
Since wh9atless days and meatless days
Insure our allied armes aid,
We have the grit to take to it
Until the kaiser sword is stayed;
No ally can approach the goal
Unless they all combine
And form one grand harmonious whole
All UP and down the line.
Since wheatlesS days and meatless days
Require us to economic,
We have the will to pullthe hill
And make the needed sacrifice,
Till Piussianism's dying moan
Is echoed everywhere
And Kaiser Williams heart Of stone
Lies broken in despair.

weather. 1t did net last long,
however.
Lieut.. Geo. T. Mccall, after
having been at home for several
weeks on a furlough and on ac-
count of a case of pneumonia, left
the first of the week for Camp
Wadsworth, Calvert, 5. c., to en-
ter upon his duties again.
A most enjoyable reception was
rendered at the home of Esq. N.
j. Enochs Saturday night in honor
of Larry Wyatt who leaves soon for
training camp. The evening was
spent in interesting games, and a
very pleasant time had.
The remains of Bob Rice were
brought to Mckenzie Tuesday
from Jackson, where he died the
day before. The burial occurred

the death. Mr.. Rice was a young
man and was reared in Mckenzie.
Eva, the six-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Neal Anderson,
living south of town, died Monday
after a few days illness with min

millinery department this season.
Miss Vivian Hawkins, after tax
ing a vacation beginning the mid
die of November. has commenced
work again. The remainder of
the year will be given to her du-
ties as county agent in home eco
Monies and she is planning to do
some very efectual work. She
should have and doubtless will
have the hearty cooperation of
the people of the county in her
splendid work. She accomplished
much last year and will doubtless
do more this year.
Virgil B. Brewer, son Of Joseph
Brewer of Dexter, Mo and cousin
of Henry T.. Brewer of Hunting
don, was on the ill-fated Tuscania,
and is now IN a hospital IN Ireland.
His family has received official no
tice to this effect but the nature
and seriousness of his injury were
not given. Mr.. Brewer visited
here last summer and made many
friends among our young people
who hope his injuries are not seri-
Gus and that he will soon beout
again.
While L. NJ. Rhodes was here
last week he effected sale of his
real estate. He sold his farm of
GA acres near town to Prof. D. T.
Barnhill, the consideration being
81, 500. His home place was sold
to w. S. Butler for $4,000 Mr..
Rhodes has bought real estate in
Florida and quite evidently intends
making that his future home. He
has always expressed himself as
being we'll pleased with that coun-
try, but he has many friends here
who were hoping he might decide
to return to his own home some
time in the future.
