Ths Chautauqua committee reports that the date for the Chautauqa this next summmer has been assigned,and that such an unusually strong and appropriate program has been arrang ed that the week during which the Chautauqua will be here will be a veritable Patriotic Week. The Chau tannua will be held during the five days beginning Friday June 7th and ending Tuesday night, June 11th. The program is so arranged that each day will be devoted to emphasis upon a particular phase of national or com It is of interest to Warrenton peo ple to thus learn that the Community Chautauqa will again visit Warren ton. It first appearance here in the early summer of 1917 was a welcome one, and the high class of the enter tainment of last summer make the knowledge of its appearance here wel come. An unusually strong feature pro gram of patriotic scope has been pre pared; among itj numbers are the fa mous Kilties Band of Canada, under expert leadership and wearing the Scotch kilt; the Weber Male Quartet, Cavenv the Cartoonist; the Hawaiian Singers and Players, consisting of one woman and four men from this Sou thern ile; Dr. Joseph Clare, the re nowned Pastor of Petrogard, who pass ed through the Russian Revolution and is acquainted ;with all the facts which led up to it and which followed it. The committee announces that lor lecturers and entertainers the great est group will be presented that has ever been assembled for patriotic pur poses. Denton C. Crowl, most uni que of platform men, will present one of the famous "Sam Jones Lectures" especially modernized in the light of present day conditions. Wallace B. Amsbary will give a lecture-recital upon Kipling and his works, and one of the very strong features among the lecture entertainers will be J. Franklin Caveny. His entertainment will feature the war in cartoons, clay, and canvass. That the Chautauqua management has been doing its utmost to make its message to the people and its con tribution to the nation in the war against Germany as effective as pos sible is evidenced by the fact that two unusually strong lecturers upon war subjects have been secured. The first of the is one of the ablest lecturers and popular scientists in America. He has been sent upon a special mission to Europe to observe the work of the various war agencies and conditions among the American troops so that he will be able to give faithful pictures of what America is doing in the cause of world democrasy The second is Dr. Joseph Clare, an eminent British orator, who until four months ago was pastor of the Britinn American church at Petrograd. All in all a great treat is in store for everybody. It is planned to put the season tickets on sale at least a month in advance, and it will greatly assist the local committee if every one will plan to get their tickets early. The town and county will be much benefitted by the visit of the comma mty Chautauqua, and everyone should supplement the effort of the forty guarantors in making Chautauqa week a time of increased patriotism and Community development. A list of guarantors follows: Tasker Polk, W. B- Boyd, W. N. Boyd, W. R. Strick na V. D. Alston, Howard F. Jones, i W. Baxter, J. P. Scoggin, W. Bro le Jones, C R. Rodwell, W. H. Dam ron, G. R.

The. following interesting letter comes to a Warrenton household from an American officer "somewhere over there," and we are pleased to have the opportunity to give to the public this first letter from the front: February 22, 1918 My dear K, It is about ten days since 1 have written to you or anyone. We have changed station twice since then and there has been so much confusion and extra work that I simply have not got down to paper. I enclose some leaves I picked up . one warm sunny day when we were out ma neuvering since then we have nearly frozen and have marched through a young blizzard. I also found some more stamps in unpacking my things and I'm too thrifty to throw them away. I have become a wagon loader, on the last two moves I have had charge of loading the company wagons. Dan has been bossing a wagon train and Whit has become a chief of police. We never know what we will have to do next, these days, nor what we shall have to do it with. Last week we hiked out one after noon got aboard a train, and travell ed all night and until the next noon. Then we piled out and hiked about ten miles to a little town which had been half destroyed by the Boche. Several people in this town spoke English i met three who had lived in Chicago. We hiked in dead tired after dark and for a couple hours I couldn't find my billet! I finally got a good room in the house of the priest and shared it with Whit. It had a wood stove cov ered with white porcelain and the priest sold us good hard wood from his own private wood pile. There was a wash stand, a pitcher of water and even a clean towel in the room. 1 was there only three days, and had a comfortable bath the last night there. I don't expect another such opportu nity for some time. Every nous in France, of every class, seems to have a little sign on it telling its capacity in men and ani mals. It looks something like this: Ofliciers 0 Hcmmes 20 Cheveaux 2 Some times the horses and mules are down stairs, and just above them on a loose floor are the men's quarters. (Continue! On Third Page) W.S.S. Thrift Stamp Society Organized At Wise A Thrift and War Saving Society was organized by Mr. Craver and Miss Justice last week, and the children are becoming much interested. A rat-killing contest has also been inaugurated, and rat traps are in great demand. Rats consume large quantities of good food, besides being filthy and annoying. It is very de sirable that they should be destroyed. A prize for the boy or girl who kills the greatest number has been offered by Urn. Connell. -W.S.S.- COLORED QUOTA TO LEAVE APRIL 1 The Local Board Monday after noon received a telegram ordering the allottment of the County's first Quota of Colored Men to Leave Here On April 1, next Monday, instead of Tues day April 2nd. Registrants are ordered to appear here at ten o'clock. Remember that the clocks will be turned up one hour on Saturday night, March 30th, and take this fact into consideration when reporting by the sun it will be 11 o'clock, by the watch ten. Be here at ten sharp by the watch. 1 1110 if -I l:IM2iS8ftik, Sifeyiii (By Dr. Alonzo Taylor) My words are not powerful enough to do even scanty justice to the most heroii figure in the modern world,and of ages past the women of France. Of the healthy men who are engaged in the military service in France,prac tically all are engaged either in trans portation or in the manufacture of mnnitions, leaving the agriculture ab solutely to the women. Not only this but they have stepped into the places of work animals; you can go into any section of France today and see wom en of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the plough and cultivating the soil. All of the agriculture rest upon their shoulders. The home, al ways an exteremly efficient home, maintains a few old men, the wound ed, and the tubercular. Uncomplain Mayor Palmer Spoke At Shecco School By invitation of the teacher of Shocco Chapel colored school Fork township, Mayor John B.

Reams last Friday. ing, with high devotion, with an atti tude that amounts almost to relig ious exaltation, the woman of France bears the burden. Now, conditions being as they are, does it lie within the heart of the American people to preserve and hold to every convenience of our life at the expense of adding an additional burden to the womanhood of France ? This is the exact question that is in volved in our substitution of other cereals in place of wheat. The women of France must be en abled to hold up the morale of the French soldier until next spring. The morale of the house decides the mo rale of the soldier in the fighting line. We can do this by giving to them the greatest possible freedom in their food supply, and of this, wheat is the chief factor. Local News From- Village of Manson Mrs. J. K.

Dryden, Mr. Mul len, Ed Hendrick and Kelly Somer ville rolled upon the asphalt here, at 11 a m Sunday after a battle with mud and almost impassaole. roads from the Nation's capital. The party, led by Mr. W. R. Strick land in a Willys 6, were muddy, tired and sleepy, but wore the cheerful smile of "we made it!" Leaving the factory in Toledo Mon day the party made excellent time on its run to Washington City, reaching the capital at 2 p. m. Thursday, with the hope of reaching home Friday. Investigating the route, it was found that the. heavy motor trucks of the Government had torn the roads south of Washington into sloughs, and the party was at a loss to know which route to take. Leaving Washington they plowed through mud to Alexan dria, Va., then to Warrenton, Va., and on home. Monday the cars looks as if they had just rolled from the factory floor in Toledo, and due to the careful hand ling of the driver's the machines are in splendid condition after their 992 mile drive.

' ( Signed) COMMITTEE. The Necessity of Preparing Now for the Days of Reconstruc tion Emphasized By Speaker War Savings the Method. Hon. Gilbert T. Stephenson addrow ed a small number of our citizens in the Court House last Friday morn ing at ten o'clock in regard to the War Savings Plan. Following an introduction by Coun ty Chairman John Graham, Mr. Ste phenson delivered an excellent talk upon War Savings. "In the warring-countries, said th speaker, the Governments have found War Savings Stamps invaluable as a source of revenue: England is almost entirely dependent upon its War Sav ings for its War funds, and there ar today in that country over 70,000 War Savings Societies. This idea, of War Savings further serves to th best interest of any nation for it places stock in the Nation t the door of the citizentry. 'Xt "Following every ) ;)rar there has been a period of depression, a time of reconstruction when prices were low and money scarce. To meet this th War Savings idea was formulated. It should be the policy of every Ameri can to scrimp to the pinch and invest now in the securities of his govern ment when war-time prices make money plentiful; and then, after the war, when prices go lower, the indi vidual will have his War Savings to depend upon; the wholesale buying of War Savings Stamps in this time of War will determine prosperity in a community after the War. Emphasizing the necessity of cul tivating a willingness to self-scarifi'c in this great struggle of Christiandora Judge Stephenson impressively told the following story: "A British offi cer came upon a mother bending over the cross of a son who had fallen in the fight of freedom; the mother was weeping. The officer offered his sym pathies, and the mother, looking up from the grave, said, "Officer, I weep not for him; I cry because his little brother is not old enough to take up the fight where his brother fell!" Men "over there" in speaking of the loss of a leg, an arm, an eye spoke of it as a privilege not as a misfortune. Such is the spirit of our Allies, such must the spirit of America come be fore we can successfully prosecute this war, said Judge Stephenson. . Speaking of the need for saving, he revealed the fact that 83 of every 100 people who died in this State, passed to the Great Beyond and didn't leave enough property to require an admin istrator. The trouble with the State is not its lack of production, for it produces wealth, but its people care lessly throw it away, and today the lone State of Mississippi keeps us from having the lowest per capita wealth of any State in the Union; th South as a whole is poorer per capita than any other English speaking peo ple in the world. "It is a time to urge thrift; and the children should be taught and urged to save" was the remark made by Judge Stephenson in the light of these figures, and our "opportunity to start thrift is today at every postoffice in the County in the form of War Stamps." "The question, is coming home with a heart stab when the boys march down the home town street after the great war is over, 'What Did I Do!' "Are you going to be able to look the world in the face and say I too was in the fight, I did my all, I pinched and worked till it hurt to save; or are you going to slink away with th feeling that your carelessness is re sponsible for the empty sleeve, th empty trouser leg, the injured eye,the vacant chair in the home of your neighbor?' Then regrets will come, but ah, too late; today is the time to serve and to serve with a wholeheart edness of determination and conse cration to the winning of this war." Judge Stephenson made a splendid impression upon his audience, and it is regretted that more of our citizens were not in attendance. The County War Savings Committee expresses th wish that in the future, the town and county may be entertained and the War Savings Campaign again forward ed by his presence with us;
