They have already oversubscribed their allotment in the Third Liberty Loan, and more than onehalf cf the entire county's apportionment has been subscribed, and those! _i __e i.1. : J ^ :n cnarge ox trie caiuj;aigu ueciciic that this amount will be forthcoming; before the end of this week. Everywhere the people have become aroused to the necessity of supporting the government; and chose who cannot help in any other way are doing their bits by investing in the Liberty Bonds The farmers, too, have loaned their savings of many years to the government, which is most gratifying to the workers. George Bell Timmerman, chairman of lorn! T.ihertv Loan committee was more than elated over the splen-1 did success attained by his committee When seen at his office late last night, Mr. Timmerman made the fol-| lowing statement: "You can say that we are well over our allotment. Several thousand dollars more than we were asked to .raise have been sub- j scribed,yand the indications are that we will extend our allotment by near ly $10,000.00, maybe by more than that. The committee is well pleased' with the way the people generally have responded to the government's demand. I wonder what some of our self-constituted critics will say about this. I earnestly hope they may be able to truthfully say that their respective committees have dene as well or better." f The latter reference is made for J the reason that the idea seems toj have gone out over the country that the people of this town and communij tv are unloyal and unpatriotic, when,! as a matter of fact, they have given I of their means in the most free-heart j ed manner. Chairman Timmerman stated, also, that he was gratified toi know that many of those who have already subscribed to the Liberty Loan have signified their intention of subscribing again?subscribing to the Fourth Liberty Loan?when the! government makes the call. *? j The Piney Woods Democratic; Club will meet at Piney Woods j school house on Saturday afternoon!

FORTY CASES OF TRICHOMA ? IN LEXINGTON SCHOOLS V Declaring1 that she had already dis- 9 covered more than forty cases of tri- H choma, one of the most deadly, dan- a gerous and contageous diseases m I known to medical science, in the $5 [ schools of Lexington, Miss A. J. Hill, 8 | registered nurse, ived bross worker ra and specialist in child welfare work g of the Lexington county health de- gg partment is making a strong and ear- I] nest plea for greater care and protec ijj lion of children. In telling of this j| | disease and the far-reaching effect K i upon those who fall victims to its ? clutches, Miss Hill said yesterday that g| \ it had been brought to this country |j j by the Foreign element; and that it ?|j | was rapidly spreading in every part |j of the United States. She is im- || pressing upon parents the importance of consulting a specialist at once, this B being the only right course to pur- ? sue. In addition to the great number jg of cases of trichoma. Miss Kill declar 8 ed that she was surprised and shock- g ed also to find so many children suf- S ferine: from affected tonsils and ade- |j noids, both of which are dangerous lg to the health of the children. The B people, she said, must be educated H \ and made realize the seriousness of the situation. She urges the great- 5 est co-operation among the people, gj this being one- of the means of stamp |j ing out disease of every character ir g the towns and rural sections alike. Miss Hill joined the county health j| department a little mere than a week g ago. She came to Lexington from j |j Savannah, Georgia, where she has ?j been engaged in Red Cross and child jg welfare work for the last five years. Feeling that she could be of greater ^ service to humanity and, at the same |j time have a better opportunity to j|j breathe fresh air in the onen, Miss g. Hill responded to the call and came g to Lexington. A woman of deep n intellect, as is depicted in her pierc- g. ins: brown eyes which silently carry sg the impression of innocence and char pjj acter, Lexington county is for- ! | tunate in securing her services in such faj an important work as caring for thejB health of the children.Her mission is h to serve, and gladly will she respond B to any one desiring or seeking infor- I. mation concerning the health of their I; children. ... | Sj VALUABLE LAND FOR^jSALS | I offer for quick sale my valuable,? tract of land near the Lexington Fair,? grounds, containing 14 acres.

Many people, however, || I "Tq unconsciously being used every R i 'ay in the interest of Germany, she:a | Mrs. Remfeert urged the people to ray Liberty Bonds, declaring that it J| jj vas a safe investment; that, while ^ j :he interest rate might seem small to t ir>mr> if fr>-r ho+tpv to invest in a - ! safe proposition even though the re- p, | sums are seemingly small. jp 3 By her dignified manner and ear- J .:est and sincere appearance, Mrs. & j' Remhert completely captivated her au k | lience. She proved to be one of the & I nost effective speakers that has ever i. visited Lexington, arm many cam?
