LOCKHART JUNCTION l/ockhart Junction, March 21.? Well, we have had a shower of rain and it was very acceptable to the farmers as the red land was pettinp hard and it was pood for the small prain. Some wheat is prowinp and lookinp fine in places and since the warm weather has set in, I am in hopes there will be a larpe yield made. I read where the Germans have reached Odessa; this is a preat place on the Hlack Sea and a preat apricultural section which the Teutons will have free access to vast stores of wheat by which the Germans can be fed. Now people, as farmers we should look well to our interest this year and let's nil try to make all the food stuff we can, so we can be able to have plenty for ourselves and some of it to send the soldiers. Now, it does seem to me that we are up apainst one of the most strenuous times we have ever seen. There are many overtaxinp burdens and it does seem that a preat many people yet do not realize it; we do not know what is cominp, we cannot tell when this war is poinp to end, the nations of the world today are in a wranple to make plain that it is about the way it is. I heard two soldiers say that there was poinp to be a preat battle foupht in the near future and thohsands of soldiers will be slain and the allies will march from France to Germany and capture and kill the Germans as they po, which will wind up the war in favor of the allies. T sincerely hope this prophecy will be true. 1 look at it this way, there is a just God that rules over the destiny of nations that will help fipht our battles for us and if the people of our preat nation would concentrate their prayers as one prayer God mipht save us from any more blood shod. We are livinp in a very serious time and many a younp man has been called from here, leavinp dear mother, father, sister, brother, sweetheart, thalt this country may forever maintain her freedom. I heard a dear boy remark that he had just as g well be a young man to go as any other mother's son. This was well considered by him. I say this to the boys. May the Good Lord give you strength to win the fight for remember you are fighting for the right. May your brave hearts never fear for fif angels spirits hover near. For the safety of our soldiers we should all pray that God should guide and keep them safely through the fight of this battle for the right and to make the world safe for democracy. I met a young soldier the other day in Jonesville?a nice young man; he was kind and courteous and talked to me. He soon found I was in sympathy with the soldier boys and he seemed to be more and more social to me. He gave me his name and his company and he is 1st Sergeant George Poland, Co. E, 52nd Pioneers, Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg. He was on a furlough and was visiting some friends at Jonesville. He was loud in praise of the hospitality of the people of Jonesville and Union Counry?said he would never forget them. I promised to send him a copy of The Times and he is going to send it to New York State where he came from. I liked this young soldier very much. It pays to be kind and courteous. I attended the plav at Jonesville Friday night which was given by the young girls and boys and gotten up by the U. D. C. Mrs. Geer was the leading character on the program and deserves much credit for the success of the evening. There was a full house and every one seemed pleased to be there. I went, to the Elford Grove box supper on Saturday night and must boost the people for they had the largest crowd that T have seen at that place and I will say without flattering that 1 have hardly seen as many beautiful boxes and pretty girls anywhere before. The girls sure went to a deal of expense to trim their boxes and they looked pretty enough to buy and keep CALOMEL SALIVATES ANI) MAKES YOU SICK .Ac<r Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day's Work.

Property Here as American Holdings There o n Washington, March 18.?Principal ^ American holdinpfs in Germany at (' present are said to be properties of r the International Harvester Company, 11 the National Cash Register Company, 3 and the American Radiator Company. The best information available here is that holdings of the Standard Oil Comt pany have gradually been reduced une ti lthey are not nearly so extensive ? now as they were before the war. There arc large investments of American life insurance companies in " Germany but as there are merely for q the security of German policy holders in these companies it is not thought '' they will be molested. Under the Gern man law all American property may n be taken. It is to meet this situation , that A. Mitchell, Palmer, alien prop1 erty cvfstodian, has asked congress to s permit him to take over and sell the c holdings of great German interests in t America. Ono of the main reasons for s this request is to break up the holde ings of thg great concerns which have served as outposts of kultur in the n United States and as adjuncts of the German government's military departments.
