This Is To You
And Family
June 28:h has been set apart as
War Savings Day. Every man.
white and black, is expected to go to
a meeting in bis militia district On
that day. There wjll be ten meet
ings in M ilkinson county, the hour
and place being given later. We
have bee assessed $221,700 in Wil
kinson county. It is divided by dis
tricts as follows: s
Irwinton $41,480
Lords 26,960-
Griffin 20,780
- Ramah 36,480
High Hill 14.000
Bloodworth £6,640
Ivey 15,040
Turkey Creek 17,120.
Bethel 7,420
Passmore 15,660
We have until the Ist of December
to raise this amount. You will not
be called on for any money at this
meeting. We have a list of every
man in the. county, and every one is
expected to do his part. If you are a
pro-German, or have a yellow streak
in you, go to the meeting anyway,
for we have yellow cards showing
your excuse if you have any. Your
little job, crop, office or what not is
not any more important than any
other man’s and you are expected to
be there. A good speaker at each
meeting.
Wilkinson county bought three
times her amount in bonds, but we
did not get credit for all of it because
some of our peoplq seem to think
more of their neighbor county than
they do of their own. A lew bought
in other counties thinking their own
would get credit. See that every
man buys in own county, and if he
thinks more of the other county than
he does his own, ask-him to cross the
line, for his space would be worth
more than his presence. Buy in your
own district. Go to the meeting,
and put your district across on the
28th. A few districts have done
nothing except wave flags and talk
politics, but this time every district
must carry its own load.

Chairman.

Education Day
June Thirtieth
It is proposed by the Education
Commission that fifteen million dol
lars be raised in three years for Bap
tist Schools in the South. Os this
amount Georgia is asked to raise sl.
200,000.06 for her system of Baptist
Schools including Mercer University,
Bessie Tift, College and the several
secondary schools, etc., owned and
operated by Georgia Baptists-
The aim set by Baptists as to stu
dents in their schools in the South is
35,000 students enrolled, including
3.500 ministerial students. Only a
Christian institution can truly train
Christian leaders and workers. Only
a denominational institution can train
denominational leaders and workers.
The Baptist pastors and Sunday
School leaders ;.f this section are deep
ly interested in this great educational
effort, as are-all good people- They
urge that all friends of this cause at
tend Sunday School on Sunday, June
30th. and by their presence and their
participation in the exercises of the
day encourage and help to meet the
Christian educational needs of our
State.

It Is Not Enough
It is not enough that a man has
hten bora an American, Ho must
show himself worthy of his birthright.
I very citizen, native or foreign .
born, must accept the nation's cause '
As his own. Defeat cl the nation
means the sacrifice of all that is dear
in citizenship. In the final analysis,
every dollar in the '’country is the
country s dollar, because without the
Government, its dollars would be
worthless.
Every citizen must support the
Government to the utmost limit of
his means. The War Savings Stamp
is cue of the articles of his co-part
nership. It is a certificate of gocd
character. It is his passport to fair
play at home and a square deal abroad
wherever his footsteps may lead, with
the richest and greatest country in
the world behind him.
War Savings Day
Chairman G. H. Carswell and Wo
man's Chairman for this ceunty. Mrs
J- J. Ragan, have planned in accord
ance with National plant to observe
Friday June 28 in this county as
War Savings Day.
The people are asked to quit work
and assemble at the nearest public
meeting held for them on that day,
these meetings being planned for ev
ery militia district in the county for
laying plans for securing pledges and
buying our quota of stamps.

season for canning and preserving 50
pounds procurable on signed pledge,

Impounds of beef per person per
week.
' Hotels, restaurants, all public eat
ing places requested to eliminate from
menu and service boiled beef except
two meals per week.
The orders issued by Dr Soule, are
made effective at once, and direction
is given that the foregoing publica
tion is official notice to all people
; concerned in the state of Georgia.
Beef steak is not to be served at
i more than one meal each week, roast
’ beef at not more than one meal each
! week.
Householders are requested to con
form to the fullest of their ability
with the foregoing and accompany
ing order. They should not under
' any circumstances buy more than one
and one-quarter pounds of clear beef
।or one and one-half pounds of beef
I including the bone in any calendar
I week for each member of the family.
: Urgency of the immediate war
1 conditions makes necessary the adop
[ tion of this program at this time.
The public generally will readily
appreciate that the changing condi
i tions in production, from season to
(season, the changing situation in
shipping and therefore, of the tnarkets
[available to the allies; and the in
; creasing demand for supplies for our
i growing army, with the fluctuation ol
[ the beef supply in France, all make
!it impossible to adopt a fixed policy
| for attj- long fixed period in advance.
It is always the policy of the ad
j ministration to suspend or relieve
i any of it s conservation orders so soon
!as the purpose for which they are de-
I signed has been met. It is antici
i pitted that this request will hold good
until about September 15, and to
meet necessary demands the full co
i operation of the public is most car
: nestly urged.
The merchant is especially directed
[ that the duty is placed upon him of
i ascertaining from each prospective
j purchaser, before making a sale, that
he or she has not that day made pur
i chase of sugar elsewhere, and that
the purchase to be made is intended
for hia or own family use and the
purchase will not aggregate more
> than 3 pounds per month for each
i member of family.
It is further ordered that, in the
matter of purchase and sale of sugar
for canning and । reserving purposes,
the certificates heretofore provided
i shall be rigidly requ'rod on et'h pur
chase; that no sale shall exceed 25
j pounds at any one time, and that not
One Dollar a Year
What Has Been:
What Must Be

could have bean fed an rye bread for
100 days.
Fifty-six million people could have
been supplied with etra meal for 1(0

Sixteen million people Jecu’d have
been aunpljed with rice for 100 days.
One hundred million people conld

pounds of rice each.
One hundred ^million people eouid
hare been supplied with one] fallen
of molasses each.
Two hundred and eight million
two hundred thousand loaves of bread
could have been made from the rye.
Every fact of every kind demands
a booze-dry war. Reason urges it;
sense and sanity insist upon It. We
must stop turning our food into booze,
say our economists. We need all
