Community Divided Into Teams
and Big Drive Commenced
Thursday Morning.
Citigens of Avondale are surely
working hard on the liberty bond drive
and results begin to show. Part in the
campaign is being taken by not only
the grown-up cltlsens, but even the
school children will find many of their
names among the patriots who want
to do their "bit" toward winning the
war.
Through their own desires and by
the aid of their parents, many pupils
of the grammar school have signed the
application for bonds. In one instance
every child in a family of four or five
has a bond to its credit.
That a more thorough, canvass , of
the Avondale community .may be
made, a meeting of citizens was held,
at the school building on Wednesday,
of which John -Tinker was chairman.
Mr. Tinker represented a commlttee'of
workers who had previously been ap
pointed, consisting of the following:!
John Tinker, chairman; Clyde A. Car
son, Joseph Lj. LiUU, George V. Bur
gess, G. A. Carter, Morton S. Akers,
James R. Btanflel, W. S. Mllae, Arthur
T. Edwards. M. C. Tlmmons. Prvor I,.

Zlegler, John A. Shelton, Sarri L Whit
man, Barney Strickland, G. D. Brlstow,
Henry Blackwlll, John Christenbury,
N. W. Roberts and Robert Fitzgerald,
At this meeting subcommittees were
appointed to work in teams, and, the
following were appointed:
No. 1 Clyde Carson, James E.
Hodge, W. S. Milne.
No. 2 John Tinker, George W. Bur
gess. No. I Barney Strickland, F. M. '
Thompson.
No. 4 C. M. Tlmmons, M. S. Akers.
No. 5 A. T. Edwards, Pryor L. Cate.
No. 6 G. W. Bristow, Henry Black
will, J. A. Shelton, G. A. Carter.
No. 7 J. L. Liitz, Bam I. Whltm.n.
No. 8 Dr. T. J.. Zlegler, James P.
Stanfiel, John Christenbury, N, . W.
Roberts, Robert Fitzgerald.
The committees were Instructed to
commence work at once, and Thurs
day's close will undoubtedly find many
subscribers to liberty bonds among the
citizens of Avondale.
A patriotic meeting has been called
for Friday evening of this week at the
echool building, when an interesting
program promoted by the principal and
teachers of the Avondale Grammar
school will be rendered. Good music
will be featured, with an address hv

In the patriotic drive to heln win
the war, the children and others con
nected with the school have done hg
things. Several hundred dollars have
been Invested in thrift stamns hv thn

"I think he knows that his wife told
me," said Mrs. Jarr. "And as perhaps
he will not wish you to think his loss
has worried him, he'll be agreeable and
let you have an advance. Maybe he'll
give you a raise of salary If you ask him
for an advance. When a man has to
have an advance on his salary ltls a
good sign It is not adequate to support
nis ramuy."
Mrs. Jarr was only partly correct In
her surmise. " Mr. Jarr's boss reluctantly
gave him the advance on his salary, but
was deaf to Mr. Jarr's appeal for a
raise.
"In these times. Mr. Jarr." reDlled the
boss, coldly, "an employe should en
deavor to live within his means, for it
Is practically impossible for an employer
to do so. What with Income tax and ex
cess profits tax and the high cost of
materials, and extravagance all around,"
and here the old man winced at the
thought of the extravagance all around
his own home. "But then." he added,
"employes never try to keep down un
necessary outlays!"
But the boss was mistaken ln this: b
had some employes who regarded ad
vances on salaries jot other employes as
unnecessary outlays and did endeavor to
prevent them.
The first was Jenkins, the bookkeeper,
to whom Mr. Jarr applied for an order
for the boss to O. K.
"How can I keep my books straight
if I've got to constantly credit deduc
tions?" grumbled the bookkeeper.
Johnson, the cashier, was another who
regarded the advance as an unnecessary
outlay.
