New York, May Ito the Amer

Vera Cruz, the city, the state and

silence and solemnity.
For four miles through the city
streets the funeral cortege passed and
behind it in an open carriage rode
the president of the United States.
He sat for the most part with head
barred, though the May sun beat down
upon him and the mercury climbed
above 70.
Perhaps a million persons saw the
seventeen coffins, each on a caisson
borne from the Battery plaza in Lower
Manhattan % the navy yard in Brook
lyn The procession was nearly two
hours in passing.
At the city hall, the columns and
portico of which were draped in black,
the cortege halted, while Mayor Nit
chel placed upon caisson a wreath
of orchids, the city's tribute. AS he did
so the bluejackets stood at present

Should have to go to their death. But
yet | feel a profound pride and envy
that they should have been permitted
to do their duty so nobly.
Their duty is not an uncommon
thing. Men are performing 1t in the
ordinary walks of life, but what gives
these men peculiar distinction is thai
they did not give their lives for them
selves, but gave their lives for us, be
cause we, as a nation, called upor
them.
Are you sorry for the lads! Are
you sorry for the way they will be
remembered?
Il hope to God none of you will joir
the list, but If you will, you will joir

goes out of our hearts an affectionate

do not go away from this occasion

The Campaign.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 2.--The pas
week has been one of hustling activity
at State Democratic headquarters. Or
ganization has been completed, with
Porter Dunlap, of Paris, vice chairman,
cooperating in all matters with Chair
man Hill. All preliminaries have been
gone through and it is now game
played in shirt sleeves until the cam
paigns close. The gubernatorial cam
didate is ready for action and only a lit
tie later other orators will go to his aid
on the stump.
The plan OF Gov. Hooper's campaign
has been revealed. 1t is to play SYM
pathy with Democracy in Middle and
West Tennessee, and to appeal to the
partisan prejudice Of Republicans over
in East Tennessee, insisting to them
that in this good year 1914 Tennessee is
to become permanently Republican. "
The Governor hopes at the expiration
OF his third term to be able to present
this State as a pleasing gift to the Re-
publican party. The present campaign
is one OF intense importance to his po-
litical fortunes. He wants a reelection
to the Governorship and in 1916, as q
candidate for the United States Sem
ate, to throw Tennessee's electoral vote
against Woodrow Wilson. or whoever

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
DISTRICT ENCAMpMENT
Field Drill and Handsome Prizes
are Offered.

The w. O. w. encampment to be held
here in the Union City fair grounds,
beginning Sept. s, will be an affair of
national importance as far as the order
i is concerned, and this organization is
one Of the strongest in the United States.
About three or four hundred soyereigns
will be present, with number Of ma
tional and district officials. The en-
campment comprises the district Of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and viii as
semble in regular military order, with
field drill and military tactics every day.
Some handsome prizes, now to be
seen in the windows OF Bransford Il
Andrews jewelry store, are to be given
for efficiency in drill and discipline.
There are seven prizes, all fine solid sill
yer cups, beautifully engraved, and
some Of them very large. These will
be given as follows: First, second, third
and fifth in order for the best drilled
companies and one in discipline. In
class A and B two more cups have been
offered, and will be presented. The
Importance of this can be better ap-
preciated when these fine presents have
been seen.
The local officers here have impressed
,,s with the fact that visitors to the
camp every day will be appreciated and
everybody will be cordially welcome.
The camp will furnish band music which
will participate in the exercises.
Union City can well afford to extend
its hospitality to these Woodmen, and
it should be generous. The order is one
OF the most useful we have. 1t is fra
ternal, OF course, but the adoption OF
the system OF military practice is bet
ter still. Men are trained. just as the
Government and military schools are
training them, for military duty, and
in an emergency these men are ready
to march to the front in war two hum
dred thousand strong. This would
strengthen Uncle Sans army wonder
fully.
Let's all go to the encampment. They
need us and we need them, and every
body needs to make the encampment
a success.
Mr.. Andrews informs us that reduced
rates on all the railroads have been Sc
cured. The round-trip rates are one

Making Ends Meet.

IF debt is to be avoided expense must be KEEP
on the right side Of income
Under present conditions, many heads
OF families are finding it increasingly
harder to make ends meet, while as fal
as making them lap little, that seems
impossible, they say. But that is what
must be done if progress or any pro
vision for the future is to be made.
Every man ought to know that if he
has good health but does not get on in
the world and accumulate something,
he alone is to blame, The opportunity
has been before him.
The best helper in any mans life is
good wife. She puts hope into the
heart OF man and inspires him to do
his best; she assists him to save money
and sets the example herself, but she
may not know how to save wisely.
Lack OF thrift in household buying
is generally considered cause OF high
cost OF living. The old-time grocer
never expected to sell less than whole
ham or shoulder or side OF bacon,
half or a bushel OF meal, peck to a
bushel Of beans, peck OF dried apples.
A five or ten gallon keg Of molasses
was common sale, almost never less
than gallon, then the purchasers bring
ing their own jugs.
Now people buy 10 cents worth Of
corn syrup and must have it in a tin
can that costs 81 cents to make. In
place Of bringing or sending jug and
getting a gallon Of vinegar for 20 to 30
cents, they buy the same sort OF vine
gar in bottles, SO it costs so cents to 81
gallon. They must have their ham and
bacon cut in certain sort OF slices, re-
gardless Of the waste, buyers only TAX
ing enough for a single meal, say 10 to
35 cents worth.
Another thing, people now buy the
hard staples Of life in what we may say
are infnitesimal quantities. The store
room in home is rare thing. Many
families now make separate purchases
for every meal; they send or telephone
to the grocery many times day. 1t
costs the grocer almost as much to sell
and deliver each 10 cent sale as a SIS one.
Boys and girls now growing up should
be taught the elementary facts in regard
to marketing, as well as saving and de-
posting in banks; it would be great
national benefit.

Crimson Clover for Seed.
BY H. A. MORGAN.

Not very many varieties Of seed have
experienced greater advance in price
since the opening Of the European war
than crimson clover. An advance on
local markets OF $4.00 bushel, and
even. more, has not been uncommon.
fortunately many farmers. anticipating
August seeding, had purchased their
seed before the extreme market advance.
The high price Of crimson clover seed is
likely to prevail until matters in Europe
become adjusted. II is important that
Tennessee growers Of crimson clover
give more attention to the production OF
seed. Profitable yields can be secured,
and the crop is threshed SO much earlier
here than in Europe that we would al
ways be assured OF new seed. Much Of
the European seed is more than year
old when sown here.
The many Tennessee farmers who
have produced crimson clover seed have
found it profitable. Those who have
been growing crimson clover for cover,
pasture, green manure, or hay, and who
know something Of the habits Of the
plant and conditions necessary for rea-
sonable success, might easily shift to
seed production, so long as favorable
prices obtain.
A clover attachment to the ordinary
grain thresher separates clover seed.
Where large acreages in a community
are grown for seed, clover hullers may
be used.
While there are vast areas OF land in
the State where crimson clover may be
grown successfully, it would seem wise
that large acreages should not be planted
for seed by those who have not pre-
viously grown this crop successfully, or
who cannot arrange Tor incubation by
soil from farms where it has been
success

or Maury or any other county believe
they have the right TO elect their own
judges and the further right to have
their litigation presided over by these.
1t is safe to say they will resent the
bringing Of Judge to them from Car
ter or from Anderson or from any other
county. The plan is revolutionary and
outrageous. 1t is the cruel scheme Of
a man who is sure, should the law be
enacted, to bring even more trouble to
State that has already suffered long and
travelled much.
The Governor will have to meet the
issue and it will not be easy for him to
prove SO much power, too much for
even the best OF Governors, is not inn
measurably more than too much for a
Governor who has already established
himself as a menace to orderly govern
ment and the prosperity Of the State s
institutions. With such man foment-
ing such conspiracies it surely is time
for all good citizens, Democrats espec-
tally, Of whatever past affiliations, to
get together for the States welfare.
The election OF Gen. Rye and DEM
ocratic Legislature would put an end to
the political unrest which has too long
upset Tennessee and give to the people
new opportunity for commercial and
material advancement.
