And old Georgia gloriously
weatlierd the storm.
Altogether new to win the war.
It must and will be done.
When the war is over Gerrmny
is likely to discover that she has
no special use for a War Lord. #
Winning the war is more im
portant than politicians, asserts
the Jackson Progress-Argus—and
right you are.
To the Merchants and
Consumers of Henry Co.
We have been looking forward
to the time when the restrictions
would be raised on flour. This is
practically true. No record is to
be kept of the sales of flour to
anyone. Any reasonable amount
may be sold to a customer at one
time, not to exceed 60 days sup
ply. We are asking special co
operation of the merchants again.
Urge conservation to everyone
you sell flour. If you know of a
man who is useing more flour
than vou think he should, you
should report him to the closest
representative of Food Adminis
tration. This is your duty. Then
we wil! make an investigation.
It has been told in several parts
of the county that flour may be
sold without the sale of 20% sub
stitutes. This is untrue. Every
one who buys flour must buy 20%
of authorized substitutes. This
includes the farmer who has corn.
No cards can be used to buy the
flour without the substitutes.
Urge your neighbor to sow
wheat.
We appreciate the co-operation
that we have had from evry one.
Had this not been true we would
still be in the middle of a shortage
of flour. Let’s see if we can’t
raise and save enough wheat and
flour to care for Henry county at
least as long as the war lasts. We
thank you.

Men Feel Tired. Too.
While much is said about tired
women it must be remembered
that men also pay the penalty of
overwork. When the kidneys are
weak, inactive or sluggish, when
one feels tired out and miserable,
lacks energy and ambition. Foley
Kidney Pills are tonic and strength
ening. Wm. H. Clark, Spring
field, Ohio, writes: “I found no
relief from kidney trouble until I
discovered Foley Kidney Pills.
Now I am in A 1 shape.” They
act quickly and surely. The Mc-

America’s Coming of Age.
By DR. FRANK CRANE.
America is coming of age.
Her hundred years of democra
cy have been but the preparation
for her manhood.
It is a cheap jibe to say that
America was unprepared for this
war. It has had the mightiest
preparation in the history of na
tions. For over a century Desti
ny has been preparing in this New
World a spirit of triumphant De
mocracy. Such a spirit cannot be
made. It must be grown, inbred.
On this western Continent Des
tiny has been training the young
Galahad for the rescue of the
world.
Nature has an antidote for eve
ry poison. American Democracy
is the antidote for German Autoc
racy.
Every one of our wars has been
for the same purpose: to liberate
the common man.
The Revolution of 1776 was to
get the privileged class of England
off the backs of the American
Colonists who were redeeming
this wilderness.
The war of 1812 was to rescue
American seamen from oppres
sion.
The Mexican War was to lib
erate the settlers of Texas from
they wlrmsy cruelty of Mexico.
The Spanish War was to save
the people of Cuba from the tyr
anny of the Spanish Government.
But all of our wars have been
but a preparation for our present
task. We did not realize it. No
man foresees his Destiny, no na
tion foresees its mission. Yet the
life of every nation, as of every
man, is a plan of God.
God has been piling up riches
on this continent until we are the
wealthiest nation in the world.
He has been sharpening our in
ventive skill and our business
ability. Our training has been in
tensive.
Now God says, “America, you
have come of age. All I have
done for you is to prepare you for
the present conflict, for your real
work. Go forth and make the
world a decent place to live in.”
At this time every son is called
upon to do his utmost. The slack
er is a traitor.
We are sending men across the
ocean, men who are physically
and mentally the pick of the
world, an incomparable army.
But the men at home must back
them up.
It is as much our solemn duty
to put our money into the Fourth
Liberty Loan as it is tiie duty of
the soldier to stand firm at his
post in battle.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is to
be our supreme effort. God help
ing us, we shall not be found
wanting. Let us subscribe all we
can, and a little more.
America, Civilization, Democra
cy, Humanity expect every man
to do his duty.
Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier.
In every lot of hogs on feed
two or three weeks quickly and
actually eat less than others. If
all would fatten like these, the en
tire drove would be ready for the
market six weeks earlier and to
save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition.
The B. A. Thomas’ hog powder is
a conditioner for hogs. It keeps
their system clean and healthy
and enables them to fatten quickly
without falling a prey to the usual
diseases of hogs. The B. A.
Thomas’ Hog Powder is not stock
food. It’s straight medicine and
we took the agency because it
enables you to feed out your hogs
much earlier. Henry County Sup

Rev. Paul Berry’s mother re

ter of appreciation of his services
as pastor:
Reeves, Ga.,
May 30, 1918.
Dear Mrs. Berry:
I’ye been wondering if you
wouid like to know just how much
we appreciate your son as a pas
tor. He came to us a few weeks
ago a perfect stranger, but has
made himself so very pleasant and
homelike that we dp not feel him
a stranger at all now.
We like his sermons; and also
delighted to have him in our
homes. I know you are proud of
him, and you should be for he is a
fine preacher now, and of course
will improve as he grows in years
and experience.
I hope you will appreciate this
short letter, for I just felt I want
ed to write and tell you these
things, and you may rest assured
we will take care of your boy
while he is with us.
Sincerely,
Mrs. J. M. Barnette.

BACK OF THE BOY
By Private Samuel W. Dubs, Camp Gordon Remount.
Why does he dare to fight so well,
This soldier of the West?
To face the fangs and pangs of hell
Which beat against his breast?
Where did he get that soul of steel
Which serves him nobly now?
What brave descent has set the seal
Of Knighthood on his brow?
Well, back of the boy is Wilson,
Pledge of his high degree;
Back of the boy is Lincoln,
Lincoln and Grant and Lee.
Back of the boy is JacKson,
JacKson and Tippecanoe;
BgcK of the boy is Washington,
And the old red, white and blue.
He may have entered at our doors
As Saxon, Celt or Slav,
But, new or old, upon our shores
He’s heir to all we have.
We care not what his class or clan,
Or what his name or whose;
A free upstanding Yankee man,
He Knows not how to lose!
For, bacK of the boy is Wilson,
Wilson and You and Me.
BacK of the boy is Lincoln.
Lincoln and grant and Lee.
BacK of each son is Washington;
What better blood could be?
Where is the lad who has ever had
A Knightlier pedigree?

649. Physical activities when figured
in statistics amounted to an amazing
amount. It is estimated 3,683,350 par
ticipated in the various physical ac
tivities such as baseball, track and field
meets, baseball, etc.
The spectators, the majority of them
soldiers, at these physical activities,
are estimated for the year at 5,646,-

Christian decisions and that 72,693
