FIRST COTTON BLOOMS
The first cotton blooms of
the season were brought to
this office Thursday, the 20th
the first to reach our sanctum
sanctorium being brought in
by Will Cross, col., from the
Warner farm near Jelks.
The second was handed us
by Mr. J. B. McLemore who re
sides just east of McCrory. He
said that the cotton was plant
ed April 20 and is the Geor
gia Prolific variety. The bloom
which is probably the first of
the year, had become red in
color and fallen on the ground
where it was found by Mr. Mc
Lemore.
The third bloom was found
in the cotton being cultivated
by R. B. Kendrick, col., on the
Dilliard farm north of McCro
ry. The first bloom last year
, was a few weeks later than
j those found this year.

PASTE THE KAISER
On Friday, June 28, paste
him in the eye with a War Sav
| ings Stamp—then paste him
i again and again. You will
only be loaning your money
that you can save to Uncle Sam
at a good rate of interest.
Don’t think that you have
already .done your duty if you
have bought liberty bonds or
stamps. Pershing’s men^“over
there” don’t quit and go“home
after their first battle—they
go after the Huns again and
and again and they keep on
pasting the Kaiser.
Your Government has offi
cially set Friday, June 28, as
National War Savings Stamp
Day and on that day at two
o’clock every American is sum
moned to be at the meeting
to be held at the school house
in his district and to sign the
pledge—to save and invest in
a definite amount of War Sav
ings Stamps each month, be it
large or small.
Every real American will
prove his patriotism by agree-j
ing to regularly paste the Kai
ser, and those who can and,
will not will be asked the rea
son why and their excuse, if
any, will be recorded. If you
can not agree to buy any now
or in July or August, say how
much you can buy in Septem
ber, October or November. The
stamps in June will cost $4.17
each and in July $4.18, August
$4.19 etc. Attend the meet
ing at your school house and
sign the pledge on June 28.
Paste the Kaiser with War
Savings Stamps and help us
loan Uncle Sam the money he
needs to supply the boys “over
there” who are fighting unto
death for you and your child
ren.

Says It Acted Like A Charm
Coughs or colds which per
sist at this season usually are
of an obstinate nature. All
the more reason for using a
reliable remedy. Mrs. Mar
garet Smale,Bishop, Calif.,
writes: “Foleys Honey and
Tar Compound is a grand rem
edy. Suffered from a cold
last week, used the medicine
and it acted like acharm.”
