FROM TENNESSEE
TOBACCO GROWERS

Judge H. C. True of Spring
field, Tenn, attorney for Felix
G. Ewing, president of the Ten
nessee, Kentucky Tobacco AS
ISOLATION, spent a half hour with
Secretary of State Bryan dis
cussing the handicap which the
tobacco growers of Middle Ten
nessee are experiencing as a re-
suit of the order in council' Of
Great Britain. He told Mr.. Bry-
an of conditions in Robertson
county as illustrative of the stu
alton generally in Tennessee and
Kentucky. Robertson county,
he told Mr.. Bryan, grows annu-
ally So, 900, 900 worth of tobacco,
two thirds of which is exported.
The position of the Britons ad-
verse to admitting exports to
Rotterdam and Italian ports,
Judge True said has has practically
placed an ihsurmountable ban on
exports and closed the doors Of
European ports. Recently con-
signment was forced through tt
Holland. but none since, and the
present unalterable position Of
Great Britain is that, inasmucf
as tobacco exported from this
country to Holland, Italy ano
other countries Is later re-export'
ed in part, especially after man.
ufacture, no more shall be re-
ceived, adhering in this position
to the order in council.
Judge True told Mr.. Bryan
that annually agents from Spain,
Austria, Great Britain, Germany
and Italy visited Middle Tennes-
see and made their purchases,
but that last years crop was still
stored in warehouses to a great
extent; that the money could not
be collected on it because it could
not be exported and that there
was embarrassment all along the
line of those concerned.
Mr.. Bryan expressed great
concern and stated that he had
been working constantly on this
aspect of exports, and that he
believed that there was relief in
sight. He asked Judge True to
submit a brief setting out the
situation with the tobacco men
in detail, which request he later
complied with.

the higher plane of tomorrow,

And if war is forced upon us
we will meet it as American

its history.

POSTAL SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS BY MAIL

Every person in the United
States ten years old or over may
open an account in a postal saw
ings bank after July LIST, accord
ing to a leafet on the Postal Saw
ings System just issued by Post
master General Burleson. This
important extension of the serv-
ice will be made possible by per-
hitting persons livingin commu-
mites so sparsely settled las not
to justify the designation Of
their local post offices as regular
postal savings banks to open ac-
counts by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third As
sistant Postmaster General, who
has direct supervision of postal
savings. was so impressed by ap-
peals from all over the country
to open postal savings saecounts
lh4 ,aaaaA that he took up the task
lsome weeks ago OF working out
a feasahle and safe method for
meeting demand we'll illustra-
ted in a letter from a Saline
County Missourian, who resides
many miles from a postal saw
Iings bank.
| Under the plan adopted by the
Postmaster General for opening
accounts by mail an intending
depositor, residing where there
is no regularly designated postal
savings bank, will apply to his
local postmaster who will see
that necessary identification data
is prepared and forwarded to a
nearby postoffice authorized to
accept deposits. The intending
depositor will chen be given per-
mission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money
order or registered mail direct
to the postmaster at the banking
point for which receipts or GER
tifcates will be issued. He may
withdraw all or any part of his
postal savings by mail and on de,
mand together with any interest
that may be due him.
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year.
During the eight months prior
to April LIST there was a net gain
in deposits of $40, 900, 900, as
against a gain of $4,000, 900 for
the same months the year before.
Thousands of new accounts have
been opened and the millions
made up largely of hidden saw
ings have been turned back into
the channels of trade just at a
time when there was pressing
demand for every dollar.

And while the president is
seeking to uphold the dignity Of
the United States and protect
our citizens without involving us
in disastrous war, it becomes
our solemn duty as citizens to
rally to his side, to present a
united front, and to assure him
of the loyal moral and material
support of a nation of a hundred
million souls.
Any act short of this would be
unpatriotic, un-American, and
unworthy of any human being
who claims the Stars and Stripes
his flag.
But there is yet another way
in which we as citizens may we'll
serve our country and materially
strengthen the hands of our
president.
We have many naturalized cit
liens of German parentage in
our midst, good men and true.
Let us preserve toward them a
sane attitude of fairness and
friendship and good will, lest
hasty words create discord and
strife among our own citizenship.
Let us remember that when
they came to us they became cit
liens of our country, and as 10y
al citizens let us continue to re-
gard them.
And let gentlemen of German
birth rise equally to the occasion
and remember that they are,now
American citizens, and refrain
from criticism of the land of
their adoption, the land which
gives them food and shelter.
600
Then, if the inevitable comes
and war is forced upon US it
must come to our own shores,
where it will.fndlus a united peo-
pie fighting stanchly in defense
of right, justice and home.

ness to the community?
The paper is working six days
of the week for the community,
and for you, and for yours.
But do you ever devote a min
ute of your time to its material
welfare? Have you ever done
so?
The duty of the papes is to
supply you with the legitimate
news of the town and communi-
ty. But the paper goes much
farther. Its labors in behalf of
the community are endless and
without end, and it will continue
to advocate the cause of commu-
nifty progress so long as it is a
paper.
You are an important part of
the community, therefore its la
bors are in YOUR behalf.
But are you doing one single
thing to requite the paper for all
of its toll and expense in your
behalf?
You take the paper, you say.
True, and you get more than
value received each issue in the
news items alone. The fund of
information which the paper
hands you each publication day
for a cent or two would cost you
many dollars if you went out to
gather it up yourself.
But this is not a kick. nor is it
a roast. 1t is just a little food
for thought in few of your idle
moments.

Thoughts for
an Idle Hour

In the heat of passon is not the
time for deciding momentous
questions, and especially if they
involve the fate or the welfare
of a nation.
A wave of Indignation is sweep
ing over this country because a
foreign submarine has torpedoed
and sunk passenger ship loaded
with 1900 noncombatant women
and children and men, many of
whom were citizens of our coun-
try.
In their hour of anger thous-
ands of good men have cried out
for war as a retaliatory measure.
But there comes a time when
an hour of silent thought is more
productive of beneficial humani-
tartan results than a life time of
villification and abuse heaped
upon other heads.
No amount of rage, no hasty
action, can bring back the lives
of those who went down with
tho usitania
But sober thought and a care
full examination of our own inter-
nal conditions may save the
lives of many thousands of
Americans now living.
Let us thiuk before we act.
America is a nation of peace,
and we ask only to be allowed to
pursue an honorable course un-
deferred by others.
We do not seek to dominate or
even be interfered with by them.
And yet a duty confronts the
government of the United States
a duty which is imperative and
must be met with courage and
fortitude the duty of safeguard
ing the lives and property of
American citizens on the high
seas. I
If that duty can be performed
without involving the United
States in war with a foreign
country, then it becomes the OBJ
vious duty of the president to
seek a means to that end.
For deadly war sha., hee'''---'

1t was learned today that following
the meeting Tuesday night, the mem
bers of the committee investigating
the Glen charges called upon q local
veterinarian to question him as to
what he knew about the present ad-
ministration of the Office of dairy and
food inspector This veterinarian,
however, declined to impart any infor-
nation, stating that If he did he would
be accused of being Jealous" Of DR..
Glenn because he had secured the ap-
pointment. He said, however, that he
did not believe some of the dairymen
who had testified at the hearing that
night had given authentic evidence.
He suggested to the committeeman
that they call upon the various dairy
men and other business: man .siwho
have official dealings with Inspector
Glen. =
Some veterinarians were interested
in having layman deposed as inspec-
tor and a veterinarian appointed to
the office" 1t was remarked to q mem.

but we are sorry now"
Jerome Shurley, manager of the To-
cal stock yards who testified in favor
of DR.. Glen admitted to a newspaper
man yesterday that he really did not
know just why Dr. Glen should in.
spect his yards after he had been re-
minded that all live stock received
there was not for local consumption,
but to be shipped to points outside the
city. Tuesday night Mr.. Shurley testi-
fed that Inspector Glenn spent the

Quoting Investigations at the stock
