LOYALTY MONTH.

The Oxford Eagle proposes to set
the month of March as Loyalty
Month"
The program for this occasion Is
simple and short. The slogan viii be
Every Subscriber Get Subscriber
II is a well known fact that the
county newspaper is the greatest lac
tor in the development Of the county
or the city in which it is published.
No town or county has ever been
known to make any headway along 80
line of progress without the whole
soul co operation of the press La
favette county is no exception 10 tins
.ule.
While the Eagle docs not measure
up to what "A county newspaper should
he. it is to-day Just what the people
have made it. No paper can grow
and prosper without the loyal support
of the people in the community IN
which IL is published. While tha tagle
is a good county paper now, II oan
be made much better. The undlVid-
ed cooperation Of the people Of la
fayette County is needed in this move
ment. II is an enterprise solely de
pendent upon he people for support
And right here We pause to ask what
merchant, professional man, enter
prise or institution have We in the
county which is not dependent upon
the people for success?
Here is another question: Can a
man be a good, loyal, true and faith
full citizen and not support an enter
prise which Is recognized the world
over as the greatest factor in the de
velopment OF all resources :" Take
this question home with YOU.
One needs not be Soloman TO see
what the Eagle has done and Is doing
along the lines Of progress IN this
county. II has given every movement
its hearty cooperation when such
movcm cnt was calculated 10 better
conditions in the town or county.
There are a few people in the eoun-
ty who give as an excuse FOR not be
ing on the Eagle subscription list the
puny reason that the Eagle politics
does not agree with them. We have
heard of a few people who refused 10
buy improved farm machinery because
ne manufacture politics lid not
agree with their way of thinking. We
do not believe We have any such farm
ers in Lafayette county as the fellows
above referred 10, because We see
them riding in "Fords," see them nd
ing in new wagons and buggies and
buying improved machinery. Then
let US hope that our people are better
educated along progressive lines.
The month of March has been Sc
lected for this drive because OF its
name. Let every farmer, business
man and the professional men fall in
line-get in the line of march to sue
cess" Just get one subscriber fol
one year. that is all we ask of you
You certainly can do that much in tn,
way of assisting to build up and de
velop your home county.

surfing to those not eligible to receive
the benefits of the government In
surance that the legal reserve COM
panies are furnishing this protection
at u reasonable figure or cost
THE government policies are not
quite as flexible as those issued by
the legal reserve companies, in that
the government limits who may be a
beneficiary, the policies are not as
signable and do not carry any auto
matte premium loan provision as many
company policies do. All of the other
liberal terms Of the company policies
are included in the government poll
cies.
THE government offers the very
beneficent privilege to the holders Of
it's policies to convert them on the
installment plan during the fiveyear
convertible term, and in multiples of
$500. That is to say II a soldier has
$4,000 term policy and cannot af-
ford to pay the premium for the full
amount at the converted rate he may
convert a portion at a time, carrying
the balance on the term rate until
such time within the five years that
he can afford to convert the balance,
or any part thereof.
"All life insurance men are patriot
ica1ly advising soldiers and sailors, in
their own interest, to carry as much of
the converted form insurance as they
can afford, and what they cannot af-
ford to convert to carry at the term
rate, as they can save a trifle over
what the companies could write it for.

might have rallied, were killed.
FREEZE SPOTTED


FREEZE SPOTTED
According to fruit growers it Is hard
to determine at this time the exact ex-
tent OF the damage. While the freeze
was quite general, it struck heavier in
some places than in others. From one,
the w. S. Mckinney prune farms this
morning. a report was made that not
more than % per cent of the crop was
in jured, while from another ranch, less
than a mile away, it was stated over
half the crop was gone.
From the Ustick section where
prunes and apples are heavily grown
the report was given out from man
who visited the orchards Sunday, that
where orchards were flooded the dam
age was not heavy. He found the older
prune and apple trees had not suffered
nearly as much as the younger ones,
While Rome Beauty and Jonathan ap-
pies, he stated, had suffered some, the
bloom on those trees was so heavy that
they could stand a considerable freeze.
Indications, he stated, were for from 60
to IS per cent OF crop of those
varieties where orchards were flooded.
One prune orchard which was not
flooded, was closely inspected, every
blossom examined was found dead and
the owner figured his entire crop is
gone. The trees In this orchard were
all young.
Several cherry growers report that
most of their early varieties are al
most entirely wiped out, while the
later ones do not appear to have been
greatly damaged, but several days will
be required to ascertain the extent OF
the injury
Reports from Emmett and Payette
were to the effect that some damage
! had been done peaches, early cherries
prunes and apples, especially in the
| younger orchards, but that in some
sections the damage was very light.

HOW TO GROW
TOMATOES.

Tomatoes are adapted to growing
in every garden, whether large or
small. To have supply early in the
season the seed should be sown under
cover four to six weeks before the
weather becomes warm outdoors, and
the plants should be transplanted
once or twice before setting them In
the open ground.
Indoor plants should be gradually
hardened to outside conditions. This
can be done by placing the boxes or
pots in which they are planted out
doors for several hours each day when
the weather Is warm. They may be
left out all night when there Is no
danger OF frost. Plants for the main
or late crop can be started outdoors
after the ground has become warm.
Two methods are in vogue for grow
ing tomatoes in home gardens. In the
small garden the plants may be set
two feet apart in each direction and
then pruned to a single stem and tied
to stakes. Where plenty of land II
available the plants may be set three
to four feet apart and allowed to
grow naturally upon the ground. It
should be borne in mind, however,
that by trimming and tying the plants
to stakes a better quality of fruit -
obtained. and that the fruit will ripen
earlier than when they arc not
| trimmed and trained. From IS to 70
tomato plants will be sufficient for
growing in the homo garden, and this
number will furnish plenty Of tomas
toes for summer use and for Gamma
