You can rest assured of that much. o For all time the world has seen seed time and harvest, and for all time it has had wars. o The war has not decreased business but on the other hand travelling men in all lines of business say that they are enjoying iho largest number of orders they have ever received * ? 4 U w? i Ar\ (\ o/vilttt IM' Ill Llllfc lll/ll ?l| t??<: IUUIIU > O Though it is easy to see that Germany must be conquered in the end, it is also easy to see that she will be hard to exhaust.

This is the result of concerted action in bringing to their attention the extreme importance of having plenty of food for the war. Often men will contest over something when they know, in their better judgment, that they will fail and that the other contestant is bound to ccme out ahead in the end. Why they do it can only be explained bv the "Old Adam" that crops out stiH in the human race thousands and thousands of years after Adam's day.

THE HORRY HERi Doctor Says Nuxat Increase Strer People In many Instances?Persons have suffered untold agony for years doctoring for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or kidney disease or some other ailment whon their real trouble was lack of iron in the blod.?How to tell. New York, N. Y.? In a recent discourse Dr. K. Saner, a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and In great Kuropean medical institutions, said: "It" you were t*? make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue, and therefore nothing you eat docs you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous Idood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One Is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble: some can't sloop at night, others are sleepy and 11 rod all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all laek physical power and endurance In such oases, it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic | dru>rs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at I the expense of your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you are not stronp and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See HORRY DRUG COMPANY CONWAY DRI PHYSICAL EXAMINATION | IS THE FIRST TEST The rgeistrants who are notified to appear before the local exemption hoard here on three days of next week, August 13th, 14th, and 15th, will stand the test of physical examination first. If they are rejected on that ground they are free until called again to appear before the board or otherwise notified to comply with i i. u ~. i f _ i M : *. i * '?* ? uiL-ir naomiy wmcn will still exist. When the physical test has been passed and the subject accepted, then ! it becomes time to make claim for o\omption if any exists. This claim foi exemption must he made out on blanks which will he furnished by the exemption board. Claims of exemption will have to be sworn to and the hoard can make any personal investigation that it sees fit before j allowing any exemption. The grounds of exemption are stated as follows: 1. That you are an officer, legislative, executive or judicial, of the United States, State or territory 01 thr district of Columbia. 2. That you are a regular or duly ordained minister of religion. .'I. That, you were, May 18, 1917, a student preparing for the minis! y in any recognized theological or divinity school. 4. 1'hat you arc in tlm military ( service of the United States, 5. That you are a subject of Germany, whether you have taken out papers or not. P>. That you arc a resident ali'-n who has not yet taken out first papers. In addition to claims of exemption claims for discharge may be made on any of the following grounds which are the only grounds for discharge by the local board. 1. That you are a county or municipal officer. !?. That you are employed by the United States in the transmission of mails. A TM x - - ' ' i urn you arc an artinoer ovj workman employed in an army. nr. j senal or navy yard of the Unite 1 States. r>. That you are employed in the service of the United States (under certain conditions.) 6. That you are a licensed pilot, regularly employed in the pursuit of your vocation. 7. That you are a mariner actua>'y employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States. 8. That you are a married man* vith a wife or child dependent on you for support. 9. That you have a widowed mother dependent on you for support. 10. That you have aged or infirm parents dependent on your labor for support. 11. That you are the father of a motherless child under 16 years, d* 1 A - pendent upon your laoorfor support, 12. That you are a brother of an orphan child or children under 16 >ears, dependent on your labor for support. 12. That you are a member of well organized religious sect organ!, zntion, organized and existent May, 8, 1917, and whose then existing creed or principles forbade its members to participate in war in any form and whose religious conviction.* arc against war or participation therein in accordance with the creed o; principles of said religious organ. 1 t ILD, CONWAY, S 0. ed Iron Will I \gth of Delicate 100% in Ten Days | how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two live-grain tablets of ordinary Nil \at ed Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the time double, and even triple, their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of their ayinptonis of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ton to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this, after they had in some eases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there Is nut hint: like krood old iron to nut In your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also r (treat nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder In the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inoi'Knoic Iron, like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated, and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. Hut with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, docs not injure the teeth and is almost immediately beneficial.

PEE DEEFARWER RAISES FINE CORN Harrison Rowcll this year has obtained results on the W. J. .Johnson place near Brown Swamp, a place which in past years had the name of a "Jonah" for those who farmed on it. He has not found it so; for among the finest crops in that section is a field of three acres of corn on which it is estimated Mr. Rowe1! will get from forty to fifty bushels per acre. The variety is that known as Farmer's Reliance. It wa? planted in rows three and one half feet apart, and is eighteen inches in the drill. The fertilizer used was 400 pounds of 8-3-0 and fifty pounds of soda per acre, all used when the corn was planted. Several ears of this com fully matured and dry were shown in Conway last week. These ears were nine inches in length. o J. B. James, one of the most progressive farmers of this county, was in Conway for a short time last week from his farm in Dog Bluff township.
