Reach Objective

county during the past week, all dls-
tricts of the county have been organ"
lied and are ready to do their part In
the Fourth War Loan Drive. Max Scobey,
Director of the Holmes County War
Finance Committee says hat it is going
to require extra bond buying by every
man, woman and child in Holmes county
to meet the county quota of SOL 100000
but he believes we are off to a finer
start than in any of the three previous
drives and if the enthusiasm and de-
termination shown at the meetings is
any criterion Holmes county will again
be one of the first to top its quota and
show our boys we are solidly backing
them up. Everything points to 1914 for
the knockout" and Mr.. Scobey urges
everyone at home to get in his own
personal lick at Hitler and Hirohito by
buying extra bonds.
The farmers of the county, both white
and colored, who played such a large
part in the success of the third War
Loan, are being organized by county
Agent l. w. Carson through the com
munity leaders in the county; the house,
toulouse canvass by the women will
again be directed by Miss Dorothy Nc
Bee, county women's chairman; the
schools program will be under the lead
ership of W. B. Kenna, county school
chairman; Miss Hazel Brannon, county
publicity.
The county is divided into z districts,
each comprising a bank town and the
surrounding trade territory, and each
district has a quota assigned to it.
While realizing that everyone will first
want to direct his attention toward
meeting his own district quota, Mr..
Scobey urges all to continue their efforts
to the end that the entire county quota
is met since in the national set-up we
are listed as Holmes county and not a.
separate districts.
