the following notice in this week's

Congress declare war at its meeting
next month. Mr Wyche has author-,
ized the undersigned committee to
organize a company of volunteers
here to help fill up his regiment. J
Therefore, we wish to take this
method of calling the attention of j
all patriotic citizens, of this community,
to the fact that we are very
desirous of organizing this unit as
quickly as possible.
In order to organize this company,
we hereby request all patriotic
citizens, who are interested in

"Dry America" Rally.
Andrews, March 26. Special:?
Considerable interest is being manifested
in a "Dry America" rally to
be held at the Methodist church at
Andrews April 4, at 8 p. m. Hon
Fred G Bale of Ohio will be the
speaker. Music will be furnished
by a select choir under the leadership
of Mrs E C Dibble. Hon C J
Levy, mayor of Andrews, will introduce
Judge Bale, who comes to us
recommended as one of the most
forceful speakers in the large force
engaged by the National Anti-Saloon
League of America. A large booster
committee has been appointed and
are already beginning to make the
meeting known to the people. There
is every indicaticn that the meeting
*ill be one of the greatest of the
kind ever held at this place.
Don't forget to thin your turnips,
carrots, beets, onions, lettuce, and
other early vegetables promptly.
The crowding of surplus plants is as
bad as weeds and grass. Also cultivate
all your young truck frequently?at
least once a week?whether
there is any grass to kill or not. The
stirring of the soil about the plants
makes them comfortable, makes
available plant food and helps to retain
moisture, all of which makes
your crop grow.
