 Inquiry among many local residents has failed to locate the young man and many people who were questioned think that the name was a mistake, that it should read Private Joseph Onaer Aubin, as a local man by that name was killed in action.
 Citizens Inquire About Expenditures.
 The sentiment of the voters at the special city meeting in the town hall Tuesday evening seemed to be for what purpose is our money being used?'
 A good deal more opposition was ex- pected to some clauses than was re- ceived, and this was due probably to the fact that it was explained just what the money was to be used for, and in the cases where there was no opposition the money was needed for purposes not known of at the time of the city budget.
 One thing which the voters desired to have aired was the matter of the city ice plant. Some citizens asked the question how much the plant has cost to date. As they were not told, they were naturally against sinking any more money in a losing propesi- tion.

FARM PROSPERITY
IS HOIffE: MADE
Can Be Continued Indefinitely In
South If Farmers Do Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- THAT the
present wave Of farm prosperity" in
the South is home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by H.
G. Hastings, President Of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber Of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
Of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price Of cotton rather
than TO its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers pock-
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead Of owing it to supply mer-
chant at the end of the season, as was
usually the case in times past Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917 They
had need of few store purchases and
made few or no debts"
IF the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis Of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms"
Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and DE-
crease food and grain acreage in 1913.
The man who does it is foolish. The
whole world is short of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as cer-
tain as sunrise each morning"
Real money-in-hand farm prosper
ity is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres Of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid-
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part Of the cost
of making cotton or other cash crop Is
in the food, grain and forage consum.
ed in making 1t.
'TileSe items home made can be
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
and home production Of them means
just that much reduction in the cost
cf making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent just as long az
our farmers continue their farm oper
atoms on a 'hon4e made basis"

is designated in the regulations,
the final classification card" This
latter card should be preserved by
each registrant, as it is their official
evidence of deferred Classification,
if they bad received deferred classi-
ication. While there are not ex
emptions or discharges under the
new regulations, yet deferred c!assr-
ficati0n is tantamount TO 4 Temporal

WHY KISSES GIVE A THRILL
It ls When Chemical Elements in a
Man and 4 Woman Blend Properly
That They Are Really Mated.

An eminent psycopath has likened 9
kiss to the stroking of cat, and says
that the longer you kiss the same
woman the less the thrill you get in re
turn.
Love is an electro-chemical action
and he who says the same effect that is
derived from kiss can be obtained
from the stroking of cat is a theorist
and is taking into consideration only
the electro part of the action. It is
likely that the learned psycopath is not
q man from the great school of expert
ence, or that he has never been for
tunate enough to come in contact with
the human magnet that did not repel
him.
Compare two human beings, male
and female, with two large storage bat
teries highly charged.
The action to which the batteries are
subjected wears them out as time goes
on. They work tremendously, and so it
is with man and woman. So long
as she is magnetic she draws the man
to her, and the same thrill is there, but
once she begins to repel, then the mag
net ceases to perform it's functions
and the thrill is gone.
Who would be satisfied to stroke the
back of pretty cat to bring about the
thrill they have experienced when
brought in contact with the magnet
that attracted them?
When the chemical elements in a
man and a woman blend properly that
is when they are mated; the kiss never
loses it's thrill.-Chicago Herald.
