Vaughn Tuepdat, 8 00 p. m — Graduating Exercises Living at Home One Jshase of the food question that will have a big influence is that' of transportation. We are already experiencing a serious car shortage, and in casfi a Iferge army is mobilized this summer conditions have a small chance for improvement. Now tfie people theiriselves can in a large measure remedy this matter. This can be done by a substantial effort all over the country to feed all of the people from their own soil and produce a surplus besides. The surplus would be used by the army or shipped to our allies abroad. Every state, every county, even every neighborhood should organize its forces so that as nearly as •ppSuSfce ALL FOOD consumed in any secfcian shall bp produced IN that section, For instance: A certain sec tion of country has never hereto fore raised sufficient potat es for home consumption. It should be the aim of that section to raise every bushel needed for home consumption, and if pos sible some to spare, The same might be said of small fruits, garden produce, even corn itself. The great con sideration is to have j^he stuff itself on the ground where it is needed for consumption. This vypuld release large num bers of cars for use in transtort- ing the army and its supplies. If there were any means of accurately determining the num ber of cars annually needed to move foodstuffs from one locality where they are produced in abun dance to others where they are not produced, we would no doubt be astonished at the number re quired. But by the plan sug gested the matter of distribution would be a small item’ You can not show your loyalty in any better way than by strain ing every nerve to make your self independent of any man in the matter of food. f About the greatest commen dation that can be given any man this year will be the familiar old phrase, “He lives at home.” New Enterprise In Town We'take pleasure incalling'onr readers attention to the ad of Duncan and Selman in this issue These enterprising young men have installed a garage and show room here that would be a credit to any town ten times this size and the people m . this section ought to be proud of it. It is something we can show our vistiors andjlet them know that there is one firm in town that is strictly up to d te. The free air service that they are going to put in will be a great convenience and something that is rarely ever seen except in a town a great deal larger then this.

The Sentinel with their many friends extsnd congrahuiations to the happy couple and wishes them prosperity and happiness. VP TO US TO WIN Harris a Worker About the only danger that could threaten the success of our arms in the war upon which this country is launched would be a minimizing of the impoitance of the work before us. After almost three years of .war, after pouring out blood and treasure until nearly bankrupt in both, t ie allied nations yet seem almost as far from victory as at the beginning. Their lead ers admit the terrible destruc tion wrought by the U-boats,' and frankly rejoice that this country has elected to cast its lot with them, practically admit ting that without our aid victory would still be far in the future. Now that we are committed to the fray it should be our single aim t.' carry it to a successful issue. This will never be done by ha'f hearted measures. What the allies need is MATERIAL as sistance— mon'ey. food and men. These we must furnish to ttie limit of our resources. Ve must pour money into their coffers; we must dispatch to their shores every pound of food not abso lutely needed to sustain life here; we rrm-t send to France a tre'meridous a: my that, added to thdse of the allies, will by its sheer weight of numbers - rush out all opposition. Let our part in the war be shoit, sharp and decisive. We must prove ou'se'ves AMERI CANS, an'4 not slSckero, Miss Marie Davis presents Miss Majjjorie Upshaw in a> •graduation recital in piano, assisted by Miss Lillian Dake, reader, and Miss Davis, vocalist.

Harris of Georgia is chairman, are successfully car ried out. In Alaska are vast quantities of wood pulp available from the great forests, and the potential supply of water power is practi cally unlimited. It is believed that the manufacture of palp by cheap water power will in a measure off-set the high cost of shipping the puip into the states, and the government will be able to sell white paper stock to pub lishers on a reasonable basis. Already the Federal Trade Commission through the efforts of Chairman Harris, has forced the paper' manufacturers to agree for the Commission to fix their prices.

Senior Entertainment It seems as if the Senior Class of '17 has decided to spend the last wet k of school in just ore round of jolities. for on last Sat- turda.v Miss Marjorie Upshaw honored tile Seniors by a spend the night party. The occasion was indeed one of jolity, for never more lightly beat Senior ■hearts than ours on that night. A supper such as President Wil son should have been glad to eat, wass rvedto that liitle group of Seniors. A theatre party was afterwards enjoyed an.i nearly all the rest of the night was spent in fun and frolic. On Monday Miss Eddie Maye M rris honored us by another spend the night party, and as is usually the case when we go there, fun and pleasure of every kind was enjoyed to the greatest extent. After a most delightful supper, games were engaged in ar.d the still night air was filled with music and song. Midnight found not the eyelids of all theJSeniors closed, for the still smaller hours of the night claimed the privi lege of closing them. Among other entertainments planned for the class i3 that of a dinner party at the home of Miss Irene Edwards, a spend the night party at the home of Miss Lettie Abercrombie, and on Wednesday night of next week a party by Miss Edith Dake at which the graduates will be honor guests. It never fails. This country simply can not face a nat’onal crisis without som^ Metropolitan newspaper slobbering all over itself in its blatant worship of wealth. A few weeks ago young Mar shall Field—very rich and ti de cent fellow—quietly enlisted as a private in a Chicago regement, just as a tli insand other young men had done before him. His act was smeared all over the Chicago papers, photo and all. Theodore Roosevelt’s loung son answered the call of his country and the fact was im mediately flashed by teI;giHvh ali over the laiid.
