Your Car and Your Cause
i
Every business man in this broad land is today working for Uncle Sam.
There are no longer any personal enterprises. No matter what your
line of work may be, you are devoting your time, your energies, and a
large share of your profits to the winning of a great war.
In dedicating ourselves to so huge a task, we must call upon every resource
that is available. At home—as on the firing line—our vital problem of
transportation can be very largely solved by the motor car and motor
truck. With vast supplies moving to the seaboard, it becomes a
patriotic duty to travel by the road and thus release railway equipment
for the government.
The hustling executive must have the right of way —he must swing down
the line on high gear —he must realize that the time saving automobile
is essential to his success and the cause which he champions.
And now just a word about our product.
The Paige is merely one of America’s high grade motor cars, but we are
proud of the part that it is playing in this national crisis.
In the field of mechanical products, the Paige nameplate stands as an unques
tioned guarantee of honest manufacturing and fair dealing.
We ask you to buy that nameplate rather than four wheels and a
painted body. We ask you to buy a reputation that has endured
through many fitful periods in the motor car industry—a reputation
that will endure so long as Paige cars are made for and sold to the
American people.

5. This is 266,724 below the estimate
of the census bureau, but since more
than 200,000 unregistered 21-year
olds already have enlisted in the army (
navy or marine corps, the military
authorities find the result entirely
satisfactory.
Army and navy estimates place the
number of 21-year-old men enlisted
at 208,588. This figure combined
with falling off in alien registration
gives a total of 353,686, which
means that the census bureau appar
ently missed the numbei of eii&ibiea!
by only 13,000.
The registration in Georgia was
16,715. Butts county has registered
to date 65 men, 38 of the number be
ing white men, and 27 colored.

WAR ON SLACKERS 1
WILL_BEPUSHED
Government Has Dragnet
Out For Shirkers
THREE LOCAL ARRESTS
NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN TO
ROUND UP SLACKERS AND DE.
SERTERS WILL BE PUSHED
WITH UTMOST VIGOR
That the government will wage an
unrelenting fight on slackers and fi
nally succeed in rounding up those
who have failed to respond to thsp
country’s call is now evident.
This campaign is nation wide. Of
ficers are putting forth special efforts
to apprehend slackers and bring them
to justice. A reward of fifty {ollars
is paid for the delivery of each man
who has failed or refused to answer
his questionnaire or report for duty,
when summoned to army camp. This
reward had the effect of making offi
cers vigilant in searching for the
slackers.
There were some thirty odd slack
ers in Butts county, men who refused
to answer questionnaires or report
for duty, but that number has been
reduced to some twenty-eight. The
majority of these are colored.
Deputy sheriff W. F. Lavender car
ried three slackers to Camp Gordon
Friday and received a reward of SSO
for each man delivered to the mili
tary authorities. The three were Hen
ry Battle, Willie Stodghill and John
Ham, all colored. The last named
changed his name and went to Henry
county, thinking thereby to escape
military service, but the authorities
found out his location and he was
promptly arrested and turned over to
the authorities at Camp Gordon.
Slackers, wherever they can be
found, will be arrested and at once
inducted into service. Upon arriving
at camp they will be given a physical
examination and if fit will be trained
as soldiers. If unfit physically the
men will be sent to prison for long
terms.
The government has out its drag
net and the safest plan is not to try
to beat Uncle Sam, but to obey all
orders of the war department.
240 POUND PIGS
With corn above 50 cts. hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three months
to get on full feed never brings you
a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas’ Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months—hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 240 pounds. Figure the av
erage feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased, we will refund
the cost of the medicine.

There is no discrimination of any
kind between soldiers who are not
citizens of the United States and the
native bom or naturalized citizens in
the American army, excepting that
the former cannot hold commissions.
In all other respects—care, attention,
privileges, etc.—they are on the same
footing.
RHEUMATIC AND KIDNEY ILLS

also received much benefit from them.

ANOTHER REGISTRANT

ty.
Incomplete returns from 25 states
show that nearly 3,400,000 women
have registered for war work under
the Woman’s Committee of the Coun
cil of National Defense.
