FEBRUARY IS LAST
DAY FOR NITRATE

The Secretary of Agriculture has
announced that the final date for the
filing of applications for nitrate OF
soda with county agents and local nj
trate committees has been advanced
to February Is, 1919. This action is
taken in view of the fact that farmers
in many parts of the country advise
that they desire nitrate of soda, but
were unable to file their applications
prior to January 25.
On account of the pressure of other
work and the heavy duties devolvlng
upon county agents in connection
with the sale of nitrate, it was not
possible for the county agents and
members of local nitrate committees
to give the desired publicity to the de-
partment's plan for selling nitrate OF
soda to farmers this year. By ex-
ending the time for filing applications
to February Is it is believed that
every farmer who wishes to buy nj
trate from the Government will be
given ample opportunity to do so.
There probably will be enough nitrate
to supply all reasonable requirements.
Farmers who wish to purchase nj
trate of soda from the Department OF
Agriculture and who have not already
filed their applications should com
municate Immediately with their
county agents or with local nitrate
committees appointed to assist the
county agents. All applications must
be filed with county agents not later
than February Is.

In Marietta the applications may
also be filed with either D. R. Little
at the First National Bank, J. T. An
derson at Anderson Bros Co. or }.

sition it is necessary to give your

Jan. 9Th, 1919.
Mrs. Mary S. Roberts,
Canton, Ga.
Dear Madam:
Being Chaplin of the 328th lnfan-
try and having been intimately ac-
quainted with your son, Guy,
thought would write you few lines
to assure you that Guy deserves the
highest praise for the devotion to
duty displayed by him on different
occasions.
It may not have been his good
fortune to receive public praise for
the same by medal or otherwise,
but this does not lessen the honor
and respect due him for his fidelity
to his country in the hard times OF
battle.
In this war, as in others, there
are some who do one great heroic
deed then they are heard of no more;
others work increasingly, unobserved
by others, but nevertheless their
every deed is silent work of heroism.
l will not say to which of these clas-
SEES your son, Guy, belongs, as l think
that he belongs to both in so far as
he possesses the qualities best I'm
both. His one great heroic deed was
his behavior as a soldier during the
entire struggle and his deeds of de-
votion to duty were of daily occur
renee.
1t is with these facts in view that
/ wish to congratulate you upon the
soldierly qualities of Guy, whom you
can with greatest pride call your son.
1t has not been my good fortune
to meet you personally but, if the
near future has in store for us what
we hope it has, then we will probably
have the pleasure of a closer &C.
quaintance.
With best wishes, l am,
