MAKING PLANS TO
ASK BOND ISSUE
MEETING OF TAX PAYERS AND
LEADING CITIZENS FRIDAY.

The preliminary work on the pro-
posed organization for the big cam
paign for paved roads is now under
way, some of the big efforts for a
start having been made in such way
as to indicate to the men at the head
of the plan that there is very strong
sentiment already developing.
That the larger property holders
of Crisp county, and probably larg-
err majority of the small holders are
strongly for permanent roads, is now
more apparent than ever This show
of sentiment has encouraged those in
charge of the movement.
Friday morning at nine-thirty
o'clock another meeting will be held
in the public library assembly room
at which time permanent organiza-
ton to go after the bond issue will
be completed. F. l.. Bartholomew, j.
j. Williams, B. H. Palmer, J. w. Can
Non, j. M. Hunt, Jerry Slade and
some other local business men are
giving their time to preliminary
work. The citizens are working with
Commissioners Byrd and Sloan on the
details.
At the Friday meeting there will be
more to be said about the advantages.
1t is now fairly well determined that
the people of Crisp are going to have
A.
of road paving before very long.

BACK TO THE LAND.

All English speaking countries are
taking part in arrangements to send
those soldiers who care to go to
farms. This includes our own count
ny, New Zealand, Australia and the
British Isles.
The greatest obstacle to land
settlement and for keeping young
men on the farms is the poor roads,
lack of modern comforts, such as
water on the premises, labor saving
devises and up-to-date farming.
Good roads means easy and quick
transportation, including the social
side of life--they are an economy
which often means the difference be-
tween profit and loss to the farmer.
A wafer system which includes
barnyard and home makes labor
easier, provides refreshing bathing
facilities and doing away with out
side toilets.
A-etOSA olNiiiS uCNiNNo
and better farming as well as great
err diversifcation.
When a young man experiences
hand to mouth struggle year by year
his thoughts turn longingly toward
the city where modern conveniences
exist and this longing increases year
by year until the familiar face is no
more seen at the family table.
A few public spirited farmers may
do much in Knox county toward the
uplift of us all. They can act as the
yeast to the dough. Every commun-
ity must accomplish its own regener-
alton and do its own progressing.
Let us go forward and make beauti-
full Knox county banner county in
which to live and rise on our draw
becks to better things.

New Plains-Made
Soft Drink Popular

n Plains has put on the market a
drink that is fast becoming popular.
1t was named "Red-Pep" by one of
Plains most popular young ladies,

At present the sugar shortage has
greatly hindered the sales and many
orders cannot be filled on account
of it.
