NS%xSA days of the fourth war
NQtllkCA loan campaign for vol
MSS&18 untary subscriptions. 1t
H&S 8EM is hoped that the citi-
@3SSdH zens of Topeka and
&SA1AV Shawnee county will
make it unnecessary to
institute a personal and
house to house canvass next week by
bringing the loan in the county up to
the quota thru unsolicited purchase of
the securities at the banks and finan-
cia1 institutions.
-It will be great feather in the cap
of both Topeka and Shawnee county
If we are able to report the quota
subscribed the morning of October q,
declared County Chairman j. r. Bur-
row in a statement today. "And not
only will it be a feather in our caps
but it will be helping to win the war
in more ways than just financing the
fourth loan. Voluntary subscriptions
made at the banks this week will save
the labor and the time of the men who
will be called on to go out in a house
to house campaign II the quota is not
already subscribed October T."
Quota Fair One.
Burrow said that there is no need
for the people of the county and the
city to wait until directly solicited
before making a subscription to the
fourth liberty loan. He said the COM
mittee Is determined that the loan be
floated in the county, and stated that
the government has already placed in
the hands of the committee all neces-
sary information on the ability OF
every taxpayer in the county to SUBJ
scribe for the loan.
Every subscriber to the fourth
liberty loan is furnished with little
blue button bearing on its face re-
production of the four barred fourth
liberty loan official flag and the words
Fourth Liberty Loan This is the
button which will be the most COM
monty seen on the streets, in the ele-
yators and in all places of business in
the county. At least one member OF
every family in the county is expected
to make subscription to the fourth
loan, and in doing so earn the right to
wear the little blue button.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
THE SADDEsT STORY

Charles Edward Russell, member
of the Root mission to Russia, speak
ing in Knoxville yesterday, made the
poorest story that has been related
in the United States since the war
started If half he said is true, it
would pay the United States hand
somely to surrender to Germany right
now and get just such peace as Ger
many has mind to give us. The
alarm he sounded was a caution.
A man who could be entrusted with
mission to Russia as was Russell
ought to have better sense than to
stand up before people like the red
blooded Americans he spoke to in
Knoxville and try to make them be-
lieve that Russia's going out of the
war would enable Germany to beat us
at the game of war.
What appreciable force has Russia
been? Russell tells us that when Rus
STA releases her 100000 German
prisoners, something will be doing on
the western front Ii Russia ever had
that many German prisoners, they are
gene long since and those who have
been 50 disposed have felt the breath
of battle on the western front for
many months. Russia has been moth
ing of force of late and will be moth
ing better than place where Germany
may succeed in forcing somebody to
provide food for her starving people.
IL Charles Edward Russell but
knows it, the Teuton is facing a wor-
thy foe when he strikes in with the
American The German war lord will
find that out before even Russell does.
A sinking, cowardly Russian force
could be beaten easily at the viii Of
any German or Austrian leader but
that has not occurred on the French
front That has not occurred where
Teuton faced a French. an Ameri-
can or a British soldier, and Russel's
predictions are neither true nor whole
SOme,-if he has been to Russia to
see for himself.

at the county fair. During 1917 Willie
has been a member of the following
clubs: Corn, cotton, kafr, peanut,
and pig. For the last three years he
has won prizes on corn at the coun-
ty fair.
while this boy has been taking
the lead in club work, he has been
busy working for his mother. This
year he farmed 112 acres of rented
land, and grew 20 bales Of cotton on
part of it Now the family lives in
home of their own, on so acres of
land. This farm is well stocked and
they have money in the bank after
paying for it.

the same line.

Pig raising has been put forward in
fast manner by the boys of this county
who have made something of the pig
clubs. Tehy are going to do even more
this year than last. for the meat pro
ducing advantages to be gained by
pig club membership have been found
valuable. Hog raising is learned by
the boys to such a nice advantage as
to spread interest to the grown ups
and where there is a live pig club boy
in the family, the whole crowd in
variably becomes attracted by his
successes.
There will be a spread of the good
work this year and there will be q
greater effort because CT the attrac-
tive prices. Both pigs and peanuts
will have the center of attention
from the outset and they are going
to add much to the wealth of Crisp
before the year has passed
But we want even more boys to de
vote their time to the successes Of
pig clubs. We want them to enter the
work because there they learn much
Of the proper farming that comes only
by practical effort We want more
boys to get the pig and peanut habit
because it carries the custom TO
larger number.

WHAT CLUB BOYS CAN DO

| The Dispatch wants to call the at
tention Of every boy in the county,
whether on the farm or ot,--to the
the advancement they attain in the
corn and pig clubs. Any boy can be
member. And any boy who is will
ling to let. his purposes be knowA
to the farm demonstration man will
have ample opportunity for develop
ment that will mean something
Crisp county has done much through
the corn and pig clubs of past years.
Every year the work of the boys has
been better and farming improvement
has taken great strides through their
efforts. Stock raising and corn max
ing are not the only two things that
have been identified. What the boys
have done has effected every line of
farming, -has made it better in the
county.
Here is a story of what a club boy
did in Oklahoma. 1t is possibly no
better than some of our boys have
done:
willie Johnson, a member of sew
eral of the boys agricultural clubs
in Coal county, Oklahoma, has made
enough money for his mother, since
his fathers death, to buy farm. At
the same time he has been helping
other boys of his neighborhood to
grow better crops Maybe there is
lesson in Willie Johnsons expert.
ence of other boys-whether on the
farm or in town-who would like to
enroll in club work Ask your county
agent how you can enlist in such ser-s
vice and make money.
IN the fall of 1915, when his father
died. Willie was left to support his
mother and five younger sisters. The
family was farming rented land and
he'd no money with which to buy q
home. Willie was ID years old. Early
in 1915, w. r. Yoakum, the couAty
agent, had enrolled him in the the corn
club, and that year he won prize

STEADY WORK WINS

Daniel Willard, who is now head Of
all the lines of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad system, and who up till
recently was head of the big rail board
that directed war transportation, is
one of the best examples Of steady
faithful plugging along that could be
found among the successful men Of
today.
At nineteen he was track hand on
the road that passed through his ia
Tiers Vermont farm At twenty he
was an engineer drawing a salary of
SOS month Until he was forty years
of age he never drew salary as
high as 5000 a month. But he kept
plugging along, "pegging along as
he called it. Now he is one of the
most powerful OF the private rail own
ers and road directors.
''lf you really want to ct along"
says Mr. Willard, you must apply
yourself eheartedly-both during
your working hours and your leisure
hours--to your business. By having
your mind on your work you are apt
to learn how to do it accurately, and
there is nothing more important than
accuracy then don't stop after do
ing what you are told; do that and do
that and do that accurately then
find find something additional worth
doing"

PIGS AND PEANUTS

All over south Georgia the program
now is being arranged for a year of
more pigs and peanuts. Both are go
ing to be raised to help meet the fat
shortage and the meat shortage.
From all indications, there will be a
largely increased production of both
in Crisp county.
Our farmers are beginning to learn
what to grow. Every class of food
has its higher price but pigs and pea
nuts are leading the list and they will
be produced in this section i'll 1918
in such quantities as to assure safe
estimate that both will be fifty percent
more than was produced last year in
