My warehouse is empty. I have
room to handle your cotton this
season, and every facility to do it to
the best advantage, I will appreci

you.
D. B. THOMPSON
My many years in the warehouse busi
ness give me the proper experience for
handling cotton to the best advantage. I
appreciate the business you have given me
in the past, and hope to handle your cotton
again this season.
Yours to serve,

pcrienced business men and bankers,
however, knew'from the start the ne
cessity'of wide publicity'and adver
tising and the nec^sity of personal
and persistent solicitation.
The fact that there were no- funds
available for the purpose has made
no difference. The tiling had to be
done, and was done, and the three
liberty loans have been a success;
made so by the enthusiastic, whole
hearted, unselfish patriotism of the
men who knew how to do it.
It is to these that the credit of suc
cessfully floating the Liberty Loans
belongs.

Mr. Hardwick has accused Presi
dent Wilson of being a ward politi
cian but just think what the Presi
dent could call Tom if he were mind-
to.
.^According to Goverment orders
newspaper owners will not be allow
ed to continue sending out papers
after October 1st to parties in arrears
with subscription. Our subscribers
will kindly take note of this and pay
up subscriptions promtply.
A really loyal patriotic individual
will not permit the existence of un
sanitary conditions around his prem
ises now. The government appeals
fpr the conservation of health as
war measure. If you are tolerating
filthy hog-pons and other unwhole-
i some conditions you are lending aid
to tho Kaiser.
It is just as necessary that this should
be a success as it was in the other
cases. But the bonds will not sell
themselves. It is going to require
the most strenuous persistent coop
erative work on the part of the same
class of men who made the former
loans a success, before these new bil
lions can be subscribed.
No estimate has ever been made
of the value of the work donated by
these agents in the past. It would be
impossible to make such an estimate.
Measured on the basis of compensa
tion for work of a similar character,
the sum might easily Teach into the
millions of dollars. Add to this the
loss of other business that might have
been handled profitably while so en
gaged, and*the sum total would be
greatly increased.*
The Government can afford to pay
a fair and equitable compensation to
the men whodevote their trained en
ergies to the task of making its war.
loans possible. Ability to do these
things is the capital, the stock in
trade of these men and these insti
tutions. Have we reached that des
perate stage where it is necessary
that the Government "commandeer”
the services of these trained experts!
This may be potting it strongly, but
thef ailure of the Government
provide compensation for each serv
ices amounts to "commandeering”
for they are going to see it through
anyway; they are going to see that
every war loan is a success, pay or no
pay; their patriotism will see to this.

“THE HONOR SYSTEM” COMING
“The Honor System,” a powerful
human interest drama, will be pre
sented by William Fox in this city
next month. The staging of this spec
tacular play in Arizona and Califor
nia caused a sensation in the far west
The resources of the Stte and the
wealth of one of thel argest film cor
porations were taxed to produce
work the direct appeal of which is to
the hearts of thep eople. This 'is be
cause “The Honor System” de^Is with
the here and now of one' of the
world’s most perplexing questions. It
shows the individual in a tragic bat
tle against thef orees of society.
Since “Way Down East” and “The
Old Homestead” on the legitimate
stage nothing else has been produced
of such vital dramatic fiber.
The big ten-roeler will be shown
Kere with all tho effects and the spe
cial music of the New York produc
tion. This picture will be shown at
the DcSoto next Friday, Aug. 23.

Seventh Anniversary Sale
It is our custom to give a special reduction every >ear
during our anniversary month, this year we’ll give our usual
reduction despite the prevailing high prices of goods on
account of the war. The reason for the sale is to show our
old customers our appreciation of their trade and to make
new friends by the special reductions we offer.
Glass spoons with tubular handles
have been invented for use in place
of straws in cold drinks.
Everybody is glad to see the new
flag that now tops the flag pole in the
center of town. This one, while not
so large as the first bought, is appar
ently better material and will prove
more durable. Thoso who contrib
uted to the purchase of the flag have
performed a really patriotic service
because the very presence of this
bright emblem of National Liberty is
an inspiration during these troub
lous times.
IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVATION
Unfortunate as it is there are yet
some Americans who chafe at the cur
tailment of n few luxuries that the
fighting in Europe has made essen
tial. In this section, the war has not
as yet worked any real hardship up
on anyone so far as material things
are concerned. Our people have hed
sufficient food, as good or perhaps
better clothing than heretofore and
there has been no perceptible diminu
tion in tho use of the things that make
for pleasure. The only great sacri
fice wo have yet had to make is tho
giving of our men and that of course
has been the supreme sacrifice. And
yet os incredible as it may seem they
are some few who hnvo given of their
families, their own flesh and blood,
who are unwilling to give up the ma
terial things that only add to their
physical comfort and pleasure. Those
who have gone ovor and know the
great neod there realize fully how vi
tally our extravagances over here are
going to affect the success over
there. This letter from u Georgia
boy who is in the fight verifies this:
“I nm glad to read that the people
at home arc waking up to the signifi
cance of this war; but while conser
vation of food is all important, they
must not think that the housekeeper
in the kitchen, with her wheatless and
meatless days, can do it all. Every
man who is too old or too tied down
to fight must think before he uses any
articles uselessly whether the article
he is about to use can possibly draw
on supplies that might be shipped
across to help beat the Kaiser.
“It must become a war at hom<
a war on useless waste of anything,
paper, postage facilities, railroad
work, gasoline, motor cars, fats, and
every w^ste that tends to hindering
the adequate supplying of an army
of twom illions of America’s best men
in the field. Then we will be coming
back. And this is not a matter for
•the other fellow,’ but fob every one
at home to think about and care for.
Bring us home again by helping us
fight from home.”
When these men who are giving
their all,make an appeal like thia, it
should not pass unheeded. The use
less waste should be eliminated.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 28
and close October 19. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in thew ar against the Teu
tonic powers but by our enemies. It
will be regarded by them as a meas
ure of the American people’s support
of the war.
The Germans know full well the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support of thew ar, of tho
people at home backing up the Anhy
ty and willingness of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
in the field. As the loan succeeds our, bo and mil be no failure by the peo-
enemies will sorrow; as it falls short pie to measure up to the courage and
they will rejoice. Every dollar sub
scribed will help and encourage the
American soldiers and hurt and de
press the enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the loyal-
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money?
shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their lives?
I am now receiving: an extensive line -

LIBERTY LOAN LESSONS
That the Liberty Loans have been
a success is due to the business men
of thee ountry; to the banks; the
banking houses and to the associa

the land.
There has been no Government
money available to cover the expen
ses of selling campaigns. It hat been
thought in Washington that funds for
this purpose were unnecessary.
