to the government and thoughtful of
his own welfare will use that' hour
to the very best advantage.
The fuel administration and the
fuel dealers are insisting that con-
sumers order their next winter's sup-
ply of coal now so that the inconveni-
ences experienced during the past
winter may not be repeated. It is a
bit unusual for many citizens to buy
winter fuel just as spring is opening
but those who shivered around cold
stoves last winter and were unable to
secure coal at any iprice wiU doubt-
less look far enough ahead to avoid
the experience "next winter. .
There should be a systomatio re-
numbering of the houses in Brown-
wood and then a first class city di-
rectory should be Issued. For the old-
times the present inaccurate number-
ing of houses is not; a. source of a
great deal of inconvenience ' but to
the hundreds of new- citizens it is
most confusing and annoying. Brown-
wood has not had a city directory in
several years either and the domand
for a such a reference book at this
j time is' very strong.-.

The Liberty Loan chairman in this
county has sent out an S. Q. S. Call
to the women to come to his rescue.
Four days of soliciting brought in less
than one hundred thousand of hond
.subscriptions and it is small wonder
that "Chairman Austin asked the wom-
. en to help.
Every man who can arrange "to pay
for a bond should !buy one. It is not
necessary to liave all the money in
cash now since the government offers-
very liberal j installment terms
and requires only five per cent cash
with the application for a bond. The
remainder is t6. bo paid in install-
ments ending with the -15th day of
next August.
.Surely there are a thousand people
in Brownwood who can arrange to
meet .such installments on bonds from
$50 to 500 each. And there are a
large number here who have planned
to buy a $50 bond in order to case
their consciences or provide an ex-
cuse to offer the solicitors when in
. fact they are . easily able to buy a
thousand dollar bond and should do

it possible that there are people

He's 'going to get his innings too

he is hot able to plant as -much as lie

the sentence "you can't draft men to
enrich private individuals." They have
been broad enough to see that it isn't
a question of making money for the
farmer but of getting enough for us
all to eat.
And the objectors it would seem
prefer us all to go hungry rather
-than that we should meet the prob-
lem in an unconventional way. Their
attitude- is much like that of the "Cir-
cumlocution office" of Dickens only
instead of "How Not to Do' It" . they
shriek "It Can't He Done."
North Dakota has blazed 'the trail.
Other states will follow. President
Wilson has called on the boys from
1G to 21 to do farm work. - New Jersey
has an idler's law so has Maryland. -
And it is not too late yet to help
the situation some perhaps a great
deal. It depends- on each one of us
each. and every one.
If you're able tp. work and t is
.possible for you to leave your usual
avocation for a few- months get in
touch with the nearest agricultural
bureau and connect with a farm. You
are' only one man but every little bit
helps Persuade every friend you
liave to do the- same' thing. You won't
have any trouble in landing any
farmer will be .glad to liave you.

half pay. if he'll- try it and drive your '
car yourself. If you live in a. small j
town corral the citizens thereof into
a big public meeting and declare one
public holiday week then everybody
go out and help the farmers on that.
In the old times; when a man wanted!
to buiid a house ho called. on all -his'
neighbors they nil came and helped r

that might help out. j
