THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS ARE STILL IN JAP PRISONS MASS MEETING OF FARMERS TODAY The farmers of Newberry county are asked to attend a county wide mass meeting which will be held at the County Court House, Friday, November 17th at eleven o’clock. This meeting is being called for “the purpose of organizing a Newbefry County Farm Bureau. The South Carolina Farm Bureau organization was set up a few months ago by a group of leading farmers representing all counties in the state. Since that time 29 coun ties have organized farm bureau units. During the past several years, groups of people in the nation, other than farmers, organized them selves together. The steady progress and power of these other groups is becoming more apparent day by day. Unless the farmer is also a member of a strong organized group, his interest and welfare will continue to suffer at the hands of others. Mr. Robert R. Coker, president, and David R. Hopkins, executive sec retary, of the South Carolina Farm •Bureau, wil be present at the meet ing to discuss the aims and princi ples of the farm bureau and what It hopes to accomplish in South Caro lina. This important meeting is being sponsored by the following farmers: A. E. Reese, John F. Scurry, J. W. Abrams, J. T. McCrackin, C. T. Smith, H. O. Long, R. C. Floyd, D. A. Bedenbaugh, J.

Purcell. Mr. Purcell, like state and national leaders realize that this will be the hardest loan to put over but they are determined t with the cooperation shown by work ers in the past to leave nothing un done which would insure its success. Those who work in the Sixth War Loan drive will be doing so at con siderable sacrifice and their task should be made as easy and as plea sant as possible by the general pub lic. They are taking time'from their businesses or professions to work in the drive and Mr. Purcell asks that they be received with a welcome and that everyone buy as many bonds as they possibly can. State Director Christie Bennett has issued the following statement concerning this vital Sixth War Loan drive: “The war is far from being over. The biggest and most important and most expensive phase of it is just beginning. Our men on the fronts of the world are facing their most severe tests and the moments of their greatest danger. There was never a time when it was more necessary for the people at home to make certain not only that our fighting men have every possible implement for their sutcess and their safety, but to give them the comforting knowledge that we at home are supporting them to the limit. One of the vital things we are asked to do is buy bonds. In the Sixth War Loan, that duty of all of us will be heavier than ever. Now is the time to line up in sup port of the things we believe in.^ Mrs. H. C. Holloway left Wednes day for Columbia to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs W. A. Clark.
