FARMERS TIRE OF
NATIONS BACKBONE"
PHRASE AND YET
The Words Have Peculiar Significance
in Victory Loan Campaign.


Farmers have been told so often
that they are the backbone of the ma
TONS prosperity that they sometimes
grow tired of hearing the phrase re-
peated. But this year the words have
more than ordinary significance.
II costs money to raise and trans
port the produce of American fields
and farms. The farmer made money;
he received higher prices for his crops
than had ever been paid before in the
history of the country.
1t is true that the war has been
gloriously ended. But the job has not
been ended
When the American puts his hand
TO the pillow he does not look back.
When he puts his name on a note he
makes good. It is the American way.
And nobody doubts that the American
people will make good on the Victory
Liberty Loan. In entering the war
they put their name to a promissory
note to their government which is
about to fall due.
These words are just reminder OF
obligations. The farmer has pros
pered, in some cases even beyond his
dreams. And prosperity is coming to
him I'm the future In even greater
measure. The world must come to
America for food. The war is over.
but the job is not. America will finish
1t in true American 100 per cent style.

a Big Day.

Tuesday was a big day foE evers
body who came to see the Battle
Tank that was seat here by the
government to boost the sale Of
Liberty Bonds. The largest crowd,
estimated from three to four thou
sand that we ever saw in Iuka filled
the streets at an early hour. The
special train carrying the tank and
the gentlemen in charge arrived on
time. The machine was shown on
the square a number of ladies en-
ioying a ride on it. When it was
announced by one of the speakers
that before the armistice was signed
that on a450 mile front the allies
had tank to every 15C feet it was
readily seen that the Huns had not
the ghost of a. chance notwithstand-
ing their barbed wire, trenches etc.
Addresses were made in the interest
OF the Victory Loan and buying was
spirited. At II O'Clock splendid
dinner was served the soldiers and
sailors by the Red Cross. After
dinner the soldiers entertained the
crowd with a drill. During the
drill a shower fell and doubtless
brought back to those who had
served these memories of days in
France.
The band from A. & NJ. College,
one ofthe finest in the South was
secured through the generosity of
our citizens who were determined
that the day should be one OF plea

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
THRILLING WITH FATE
by GRACE WEATHERBY

s THE last sweet note died away
n there was dead silence in the
room. Molly Phipps sat very still at
the piano. her hands lying idly on the
KEYS. The room was darkening fast.
and it was that peaceful hour between
day and night. On the wide, deep
lounge Harry Curtis lay, sprawled
among the cushions, lost in thought.
1t was common thing for him to
drop in and spend an hour or two
with Molly. She was, and always had
been, even from infancy, Harry's best
pal. but his feeling for her was purely
brotherly affection. Who besides her
self knew that Molly adored him
loved every hair on his curly brown
head?
The young fellow stretched lazily and
broke the silence. II guess that's about
right. Mol. Love does come but once,
and if ] don't hurry up it will be too
late for me ~
Molly laughed amusedly. You? Why,
child, you've barely thirty. You've got
loads of time"
"No, ! haven't. No man wants to
wait until he's an old man before get
ting married. Why, if ! had a nice
girl ! d get married right away
MOllys loyal heart contracted with
fear. She had adorcd him from child
hood. He had always been her hero,
and now he cared nothing for her.
i Harry went on blisSfully unconscious
of the havoc he was making. "OI
course I've known lots of girls, but
I've never met the girl, you know

without you nohow. You Just bring
her along-this wonderful girl, and III
do the rest.
When he had gone Molly buried hcl
head in the cushions just vacated, anC
cried to her hearts content. When she
was calmer she planned for long time
Hell get all that is coming to him
and more !"
A week later Harry found smal

fcction-a dainty, frilly girl to take
canoeing. II girl who could sing divinely.
From morning till night he was on the
go, with always pretty girl at his
side. But one night-there came n
change 1t was the middle of the sec
ond week, lovely, balmy night. Harry,
who was rather tired of listening to the
frilly girls silly chatter, was seeking
quiet place to rest while.
He wondered idly where Molly was.
He hadn't been seeing much Of her
lately. The more he thought of it the
more convinced he became of the fact
that Molly, his Molly, was Deliberately
neglecting him. 1t never occurred to
him that he might be ncglecting her.
His indignation rose. 1t was all very
well for her to find tn" girl for him,
but that was no reason why Molly her
self should choose to ignore him. He
strobe along in the darkness, the carpet
of pine needles mutfiing the sound of
his footsteps. Suddenly he stopped short
and listened: 1t was mans voice,
YOU. you know it. Won't you-dear?"
Harry held his breath. Silence. Could
it be possible that Molly was accepting
him? The impudent fool He'd teach
him Oh, why didn't Molly say some
thing? Then came the unmistakable
sound of a kiss. That was the last
straw. That was too much. His anger
Mt white heat, he ran forward. throwing
! discretion to the winds. He simply
wouldn't allow it. Now the bench was
in plain sight. and sure enough, there
sat couple locked in each others arms
! In twinkling Harry had torn the man
| from the girl, and stood facing him, his
/ eyes blazing. "You will-will you?" he
snarlcd, and struck him full in the face
/ Rut his adversary was no weakling, and
Harry had his hands full protecting
himself from the vOlley of blows show
cred on him. At length he administered
II sound punch which sent the man to
the ground in heap. The girl, who
heretofore had remained motionless with
surprise and fear now sprang forward.
"Ralph-oh, Ralph, please look at me. "
d, The sound of her voice was like dash
of cold water to Harry. He looked at
her. It was not Molly! That is-not
his Molly! 1t was that tennis player
Molly Denton.
Mortified and ashamed, he helped the
man to his feet, mumbling his apologies
with poor grace. Relief was uppermost
in his heart. He had another chance
it wasn't his Molly! He ran back to
the house and found~ Molly curled up
in the hammock on the porch. At the

Molly sprang to her feet, ''Why, Harry
has happened?" But that young man
was too glad to have found her alone to
waste time in explanations. He gath :
cred the slim figure in his arms and
proceeded to make up for all lost op-
portunities. When at last speech was
possible he>said, "Molly, you sure did
teach me lesson. I'll never he so fool
ish again. Each of those girls was all
right in her way, but there wasn't one
who could hold candle to my old pal
MolIy"' True, Molly didn't quite un .
dcrstand it all, but she was perfectly
willing to wait until later to hear the
details, and just buried her head deeper
into the torn and very dirty shoulder.
