On Tuesday evening the annual con-
test between the Ciceronian and Par
thenian literary societies was held in
the auditorium, in the presence Of a
large and enthusiastic audience.
The performance was very creditable
one, and showed earnest and careful
preparation on the part Of each con-
testant. The essayists were Iva L.
Bishop, c. L. S., whose appropriate
subject was Americas Mission to the
World" and Hilda E. Mackenzie, P. L.
S., whose essay was entitled, "The
Triumph Of Democracy" The ques-
ton for debate was, "Resolved, that all
immigrants to the United States over
sixteen years OF age should be required
to pass the literacy test" The affirma-
tive was upheld by Charles P. Harper,
P. l. S., and the negative by Mcclure
Moler, C. L. S. The orators were
Herbert Armstrong, C. L. S., whose
Grafton was on the subject, "The Dawn
Of New Era" and Wintermoyer Folk,
P. l. S., whose subject was "America."
The declaimers were Louise M. Kable,
P. L. S., whose selection was GLOW
Gordon Redeemed HIMSELF" and Fan
ME Trump. C. L. S., who recited "The
Gypsy Flower Girl" The judges
were Miss Helen Pendleton, OF Shep-
herdstown, and Rev. ]. S. Alfriend and
Prof. Wright Denny, OF Charles Town.
The decision of the judges was an
nounced by Mr.. Alfriend, and was in
favor of Hilda Mackenzie, Charles
Harper, Herbert Armstrong and Louise
Kable. Thus the Parthenians were
victorious, winning three out Of the
four contested numbers, and also car
rying off the banner given to the side
winning the defamation.

QUOTAS OF LOAN
 WILL DEPEND ON
 WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions of January and February Savings Cam paign Allotments to Re
 duce Loan Task

Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District are to be determined in some measure by the amounts loaned the government by each district in War Savings Stamps during January and February. If a district oversubscribes it's War Savings Stamp quotas for the first two months of the year, its Victory Liberty Loan quota will be decreased to the extent of the oversubscription. Conversely, if district fails to reach its January and February Stamp quo tas, it's Liberty Loan quota will be increased.
 When Lewis B. Franklin, director of the War Loan Organization, was in San Francisco recently, he revealed that on the day the armistice was signed there wasYin progress in Wash ington q meeting to formulate plans for the continuous sale of Liberty Bonds-such a plan as governs the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond and War Stamps work was to be closely coordinated.
 These plans were immediately dis carded when the Germans signed the armistfce and when Secretary of the Treasury Glass took office he an nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan would be the last. In the face of sug- gestions that the Victory Loan be put on cold commercial basis. he added that the men making these sugges- tions were discounting the patriotism of the American people and he would depend upon the patriotism of the American people rather. than place se- curittes of the United States govern ment upon a plane with the paper of private corporations.

 The blood of theAyoung manhood. of America Is not now required. That was generously given before the armt- stice was signed, and now we may give thanks that no more will be taken.
 The credit and good faith of our country is at stake. We have won the war. and the cost is small compared with what has been won The men of the West with red blood in their veins will not Eeed to be appealed to, because they will subscribe to this last call of the Government as ungrudgingly as they did in the past There are others, however, who may not be so keenly and conscientjously alive to the duty of re- spending to the Nations call. and 1t is to those that the women must direct their most pntiring efforts.
 This last call is truly Victory Loan. What greater pride can men and wo- men experience than in contributing to it? A Victory Bond will be worth more than it's price expressed in dol lars. Every one will be Il badge testi- flying that the holder has helped his country to- fulfilf It's pledge to those who have been spared as we'll as those who have made the supreme sacrifice.

BORN OF WAR

It is difficult yet to value accurately pr in some instances to perceive all he war has brought to our national fife or pruned from it. The things we think little now may appear to posterity the greatest The Thrift Stamp idea seems to be one of these. Originated as a war emergency meas ire, it has taken holds has appealed .o the common sense of America. and nay yet, shape the destiny of the lation
 It is patent, now that the war is ,ver, that the Thrift Stamp has come o stay. If we get nothing else out of he war but the habit of saving, which ,egets the corollary simple living. we will have reaped the full fruit of the var. For thrifty democracy is a firm democracy, a potent democracy. democracy strong enough to pre- ,erve itself
 A man who saves is better citizen han the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder in his govern nent and he is jealous for the wei are of that gove: nment in war and n peace. In war he will fight for it with his life. In peace he will protect from those who would tear down.
 As America saves from this day on 70 shall she grow in benign power and Il the eyes of mankind. "A bank ac- .ount for every American citizen ;hould be one of our national slogans
 The Thrift and War Savings Stamp dea is freighted with mighty change or the better in our national life

 We were advised that the war would last through 1919, probably through 1920, so we were prepared for that; to have done less would have been suicide. We prepared to crush the Hun on his own. ground, and he prudently quit. It cost us some money but 1t saved the lives of half a million of our men. Was money ever better spent?
 Now we have bills to pay. prom ises to make good, our men to bring home. This will take from five to six billion dollars. Let us get ready and raise it. A big task, but the last, and therefore easy All to- gether, shoulder to shoulder, and the loan goes over!

 And Herbert, don't think you miss anything because you did not get to come over here. There is no place like the good old U. $. A., when it comes right down to the bottom. There is nothing here in Ger many and not much more in France.
 We are drilling just the same as we did before we start ed to, fight and tomorrow we take a fifteen mile hike with heavy packs. Perhaps you think that is easy but it is hard work, altho we walked from France all the way into Ger many. That is about two hun dred and fifty kilometers.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING

Once in awhile even to this day
there may be found a moss-back who
does not appreciate the value of ad-
vertising-who holds that the people
know he is in business and will hunt
him up when they need anything he
has. And there may be rare instan-
ces, too, when advertising would not
bring immediate results; but an in
cident occurred in this office during
the present week which demonstra-
ties its value in certain instances.
DR.. Pete Mikell had cow and
yearling stray away, and Saturday he
bethought himself of an advertise
ment in these columns. Straightway
he wrote out description of the two
missing cattle and paid for two in
sertions of the advertisement, to be-
gin the present week. Sunday morn
ing Quitman Stanford, who lives in
the country south of Statesboro two
or three miles, observed a cow and
yearling passing his place at swift
gait as if running from an adver-
tlsement in the Times, and he reason
ed that their movements were sus-
picious. He took them up, and Mon
day he came to this Office to adver-
tlse them as astray. Pete Mikell's
advertisement was still on the copy
hook. and when Stanfords was placed
beside it, the two fitted each other
like hand in a glove. Pete's cows
had come in answer to his advertise
ment before it had ever been publish
ed. We lost pay for two advertise
ments at once, but the efficacy of adj
vertislng was established beyond all
cavil
Moral: If you want something you
haven't got, bring and advertisement

you don't want, bring it to the same
place.-Bulloch Times.

FORMALIN TREATMENT
OF SMALL GRAINS FOR
SMUT PREVENTION

Considerable loss is caused each
Jear in Georgia as we'll as in other
'tates by smut attacking oats and
wheat. Smut is a fungous disease
and is carried over from season to
season on the kernels. Thousands of
,pores are prouced on each smutty
stalk, and when the grain is threshed
these spores are scattered are scat
tered over practically all the kernels,
where they will remain until the
grain is planted, unless killed by
treating the seed with some good dis
infectant just before planting. If
these spores are allowed to remain
on the kernels, they will terminate
when the seed is planted and infect
the plant as it grows. This will re-
SUIT in the stalk being full of smut
when matured.
The, only means Of preventing at
tacks of smut is to kill the spores
which may be clinging to the seed
just before the grain is planted. This
may be accomplished by treating the
seed with 40 per cent. solution of
formaldehyde known as and sold I'M
der the name of formalin. Use the
solution in the proportion of one pint
Of formalin to 80 gallons of water.
Solutions of this strength have given
good results at the Georgia Expert
ment Station and is generally con-
ceded by all experiment tsations to be
abount the best to use.
A very practical and satisfactory
method of applying the treatment is
outlined as follows:
1. Provide two tubs or half bar
rels. Make Pinch hole through the
side of each in such way that the
bottom of the hole will be on a level
with the bottom of the tub. Tack a
small piece of wire screening inside
the tub over the hole in order that
the grain will not run out when the
plugs are removed.
2. Place one tub on a small table
or pair of wooden horses with the
plug directly above the other tub on
the ground or floor
3. Prepare the formalin solution
Zone pint of formalin in 80 gallons
of water) and fill the upper tub one
half to two-thirds full.
4. Pour into this solution about
bushel of grain.
5. Stir the grain thoroughly so
that all the smutted kernels and smut
balls may rise to the surface.
6. Skim off the smut balls and light
kernels that float on the surface and
destroy them.
Z. Allow the grain to soak for five
minutes and then pull the plug and
allow the solution to drain into the
lower tub.
z. Dump the grain on clean floor
canvas or burlap sheet
9. Lift the lower tub upon the
table. Add enought solution to re-
place that removed by the grain and
repeat the operation.
10. When five or six bushels have
been treated and poured in pile,
cover with burlap or bags for about
two hours.
IL. Then uncover and spread out
the grain so that it will dry quickly.
1t is advisable to stir the grain seve
raj times during the drying process
so that it will become thoroughly dry.
Do not place the grain in bags that
that held it previously unless the bags
have also been disinfected. 1t is al
so very necessary that the grain be
thoroughly dry before it is taken up
as ii will mold in a short time, thus
affecting the termination qualities.
