(Thursday Closing Is Proposed For Rayville Merchants It is being proposed by the merchants of Rayville that all get together on the proposition of closing every Thursday as a war measure. The I movement is being sponsored by the i Rayville Kiwanis Club and is being handled by the Committee on Business Standards, J. G. Joseph, chairman. J.

R. Aycock, local grocerman; is one of the prime movers working for the success of the plan. One of the reasons for the proposed closing is the shortage of labor caused by the war.

Tell her to write, and Uncle Frank, too. Mom, I hope you feel better. You know you said you were sick in your last letter. I worried about you and dad a lots and wondered how the boys are making out in school. I bet Alice Lou is doing fine.

I hope so. She is such a smart kid. I tell all the boys what nice looking sisters I've got. They all want to see them, but I tell them the old man scares all the boys off with the shotgun. They believe me.

Well, Dad, have you received a letter from Cecil yet? I would like to know where he is. I guess he is alright. Mom, it won't be long before you will have three sons in the service. I bet you can boast more than most mothers can. Keep your chin up.

Mom, we're all o. even Cecil is. I wish I could get a leave. I don't see how I can get one very soon. When I get in the States they send me right out again.

REPORTER Cotton Supplies There are large supplies of short-staple, low-grade cotton on hand, says the Department of Agriculture, but relatively small supplies of the higher grades and longer staples of upland cotton. Total upland cotton supply for the current season is slightly larger than last year's, but demand will probably be larger.

Z. T. Stone, Rayville a Fanners today are stepping up production of dairy products, eggs, livestock and other essential foodstuffs. One way to begin the job is to build concrete barn floors, stock feeding floors, poultry house floors, manure pits, storage cellars and other improvements that make your farm more efficient and productive. All you need are a few sacks of port-land cement, sand, gravel or stone, and some boards for forming.

Concrete conserves critical "war many farm concrete jobs need none. Economical, life-time concrete improvements cost surprisingly little to build. If you need help, get in touch with your concrete contractor or building material dealer. For helpful free literature on "how to do it," check list below and mail today.

We don't do a thing to earn our pay. We walk around like a millionnaire's son. And hit the hay when the day is done. When trouble starts, we're always there, To hit the guys with a club or chair. We ain't human and we treat 'em rough.

And we don't take any of their stuff. We're always smart alecs, wise guys and such. And nobody ever talks back to us, much. We don't listen to reason, or a chance to explain, But slap 'em and sock 'em before they complain. That's an M.

P. to most of the guys. It seems to me they'll never get wise. Most of the M. aren't really that way, It's only one or two that spoil the play.

We know you guys don't like us much. But why think we're always rats and such, So, just treat us fair and let us see If we can't get along in this great Ar-my. Let's bury the hatchet and let's be a friend. And pitch in together, so this war will end. And when it's over, yoa can really see What a great help we were God bless an M.

In justice to ourselves and to be able to remain successfully in business it becomes necessary to fix the subscription price at $2.00 per year to everyone. In order that no snap judgment may be taken we give our friends until the close of business on Saturday, March 20th to send the paper to men and women in the armed services for $1.00. We have been sharing more liberally with our boys in sending them the paper at $1.00 than you have any idea. In many cases it has cost us the paper and a little money besides. The boys and girls away from home want the paper, and $2.00 is very little for you to pay for a letter from home to them every week.
