How many War Saving Stamps did you buy? Howling won’t stop Germany, so stop howling. Seed is the best vaccination for that war garden. • Don’t forget—l% lbs. flour per person per week. Don’t take things too easy, you might get caught at it. Bench warrants are being issued for the rats of Atlanta. Germany wants peace. Yes she wants the whole piece. Where there’s a will there’s generally some other relative in the w*ay. When we refer to a German as “Hun” it doesn’t signify that we’re in love with him. • Let’s everybody run for senator. Eyerybody else is running, so we might as well have a chance as they. When you feel like fighting go out and fight it out in that war garden and there’s no danger in your getting hurt. Premier Clemenceau says Czer nin lied. Don’t let that worry you, Premier, that crowd is noted for that form of warfare. Last week was in Georgia. And we understand the ladies of McDonough “cleaned up” selling War Saving Stamps. The man who dresses swell 1 never works and shows no signs of ever having had a brain is gen erally referred to as a “ladies man.” German newspapers are said to be quoting LaFollette and Hard wick in behalf of their war. How can any man who votes for Hard wick feel loyal to his country? Why, aside from mere curiousi ty’s sake, should you care why or how the war started? Certainly, you, as an American citizen, are going to stand by your country, “right or wrong.” Why, then, all this rot about how the war start ed? We are in it and in it to win and your duty as an American cit izen is to help in every possible way to bring the war to a vic torious close. If you can’t go, send your dollars, with the guar antee of every man in the United States that they’ll come back, and come* back well paid for their work. BUY A LIBERTY BOND. Work, Make, Save, Give and Send. Get out of the way of wanting somebody to work for you, and go at it yourself. This war is go ing to make ail have rough hands. Take your hands out of your pockets, and your finger out of your brother’s eye and use them for a greater and holier cause. There is work for every one. Look at the fields and see what you will find to do. This is no time to try to get rich, but a time to save one of the greatest countries on the globe. Don’t get the thought of getting rich on the war. The prices are good, and you should make, sell, give and lend. Extend to your country a helping hand. Do something here, if you are not going where the cannon are roaring and the shells are burst ing, where millions of brave and gallant soldiers are giving up their lives in defense of freedom. I say go to work and shoot your gun here at the enemy by making something to eat and sell. There are all kinds of people —knockers, slackers, deadbeats, humbugs, knock downs and drag outs. Are you or.e of these? These kinds should be made to do right. Oth ers have enough pride and care for themselves to do right with out being made. Drag the idlers out of town and put them to work. It makes no difference what kind‘of work, just DUt them to work. If there are any who will not work now, they should be made to work or go to the gang. It is no disgrace to work, but it is a disgrace not to work during the present crisis, when the free dom of the world hangs in the balance. Those who think it a disgrace to work in the field, or do any other kind of work that is necessary to run the world, should go off to themselves and cover their faces in shame. I don’t say this because I work myself. But I do say that I am glad I belong to the working class —the class that runs the wars and keeps the world together. I am more thankful that I belong to the workers of America, and have some thought for tomorrow. Save, help, give and lend. See what your “hand findeth to do, and then do it with all thy might.” B. T. Patrick, Ficklen, Ga., March 25, 1918. The real question before con gress at the present time is as to whether Wilson and his colleagues are to be given sufficient power to carry the war to a successful conclusion or whether by obsti nacy and delay, this power is to be left in the hands of the Kaiser. If our legislators had anything like the efficiency of the Red Cross organization, United States sol diers, in adequate number, would be helping to chase the Huns across the border of the “Father land” today. —Monroe Advertiser.

Don’t wait —do it now. Buy War Saving Stamps. The Speed Demois. How many automobiles violate the State speed limit of thirty miles an hour? Frequent acci dents indicate that many speed demons haye no respect for the law and it is a matter of regret that so few of the criminals who render unsafe traveling along the public highways are arrested/ Occasionally one of these de mented persons tries strength with a locomotive at some cross ing and the result is aLvays the same —either deatli or serious in jury. The apparent recklessness and abandon which some drivers dis play is enough to cause grave con cern, and the only adequate pun ishment is to deprive the offend ers of the privilege of driving cars. Many of the accidents that occur at railway crossings are blessings in disguise. —Covington News. He Can Rest Fine Now. “I suffered greatly from blad der and kidney trouble,” writes F. B. Fairbank,»ss Grand River Ave., W. Detroit, Mich. “Had to get up six or seven times during the night.

The Weekly received'the fol lowing Liter April 2, which bore no signature, other than the one signed at the conclusion: Washington, D. C. March 31, 1918. Editor Henry County Weekly, Dear Sir: By mere chance I happened up on a copy of your paper dated March 15th. In it was an article entitled “Glorious Death.” I want to thank J A. H. for that beauti ful tribute to Captain Stewart W. Hoover, of Blackfoot, Idaho. It is such appreciation at that, from a perfect stranger, that makes me feel he did not his life in vain. I thought, perhaps, it might inter est the writer to know a few facts about him: In Ihe War Depart ment he ranked a first lieuienant but under Pershing he had been an acting captain since October. Graduated from West Point April 20th, 1917, and sailed b' request with the American Expeditionary Forces June 13th. He was twen ty-two. It is Ihe noblest thing a man can do to give his life for the preser vation of his country and it was Captain Hoover’s wish when death came it might be in action. I wish I could tell you how brave, how fine he was —a man’s man in every sense of the word. It is only in novels hearts break. Mortals are doomed to live on doing the same things in the same way. year after, but for me the dearest tiling in life has gone — nothing matters much now. I am sorry if 1 hare taken up yourt ime, but those paragraphs touched me so deeply I felt I must write and tell you. I remain simoly, The Girl.
