How TO Destroy NIilitarism

HERE is futile hope alive in the world
to-day that the defeat of Germany in the
present war will mean the end Of miltarsm
and the military menace This feeling is
based on the view that war is an artificial
matter, and would be done away with if only
certain unfavorable conditions could be
changed But militarsm has existed long
time and mas no necessary connection with
Germany Mlitarism long antedates the
German empire, and will probably continue
to exist after that empire has passed away
War is IA fact OF human nature 1t is. of
course, the most brutal method OF suppressing
competition or gaining advantage but mod

SO close is the resemblance sometimes be-
tween war and business that nothing could
be more fallac!ous than the idea that war
would be abolished If only the nations Of the
earth would give themselves up entirely to

great both in war and in the industrial arts;
and the methods which the trusts have so
often employed in this country-the merci-

exploitation OF the public--are potential war

UNWILLING OF
MONUMENT

The dedicatory services at unveiling
of monument at the grave of J. r.
Jones in the Raulston graveyard on
Battle Creek at p. m. Sunday. were
very impressive. About 100 Woodmen
were present, and were formed in line
from the monument in the form of
wedge. The exercises were admirably
carried out, and an excellent address
given by a speaker from Nashville.
There were a considerable number of
visitors present also. The monument
is the usual Woodman monument Of
the body of tree, resting upon log
foundations and splendidly carved. A
fine monument has also been erected
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, at the grave Of Pat Jones, to
which order he belonged. Flowers
were laid upon both graves. Wood
men present were from the lodges at
Whitwell, Sequatchie aud South Pitts
burg, and in their exercises were led
by a squad of young men clad in
white who bore axes, emblematic of
the Woodmen.

A large number of exhibits were
brought merely to cell up" and were
not prepared especially for the fair.
There is strong inclination to keep
up the good work next year with a
fair of a similar character, marked
with no entrance fees, and solely for
educational advantages. The ladies
Iuf Jasper present asked to he allow ed
ito assist in the work, and If they
should get busy in their district a
very elaborate exhibit will no doubt
be gathered together
A great many things were learned
during the session which are valuable.
Prof. Stsckwell brought out many
points and the method of bringing ex-
hihits in person on a regular day has
given the people chance to talk over
varieties and articles, and methods of
culture, ma0ufactHre or preparation.
1t has proven highly educational, and
this is what the management desired.
After the exercises Prof Stockwell
gave demonstration of how to select
a dairy COW, using for the purpose the
fine Jersey owned by Hill g Son. Of
this city. He went over the animal,
pointing out the qualities of good
Jersey COW, and also a few of the poor
qualities, as he was frank in his criti-
cism. Hill & Son had on exhibition
their herd of cattle which was a re-
markable exhibit. 1t consisted of
Jersey COW, about ~ years old, her
first calf three years old and calf, ten
days old, her second calf, 1S months
old, and her third calf, two months
old. The animals we're arranged In a
row tied to rope, and were much ad-
mlred. An effort was made to get
others to bring their animals, but the

when that was removed, as it woQld
in time. dairying would then be tire
logical result. He did not advise to
make change now, although he be-
lieved the small dairy could be very
successful He brought out several
good points. one, that three and half
million dollars worth of northern dali
ry products are brought south yearly,
and another that cheap butter was be-
ing gathered mp in West Tennessee
now, sent north to be renovated, and
then sold back to ussat a profit of 1Oc
to '15c per ID. to the northern man ov-
or the cost of Transportation. He spoke
of silo construction, describing the
different varieties, commenting on
their COST efficiency and manner of
construction. He was very clear along
|athis line, describing the various meth
ods of building very carefully, and al
80 giving the cost per ton for silage
and its feeding value when inrthe silo.
He spoke of butter making and recon-
mended the use OF the separator in
stead Of churning the milk and cream
together, His entire address was very
practical, no frills, all plain discus
sion and information. The time Is
coming when every farm in Marion
County with dairy stock will have its
silo, corn stalks will not be allowed to
remain in the field to parch up, nor
cattle be allowed 10 feed on stalk land
with danger Of contracting disease
from smut. Instead of that, fields of
corn will be cut while still green and
cut into silage and green feed thus fed
to dairy stock during the winter
months, thus insuring green feed all
the year which means Increased milk
production.

sion proyedla pretty nice occasion, and
considerable interest has been aroused
in the community over the exhibits,
which were all good. and of which
mention Is made In detail elsewhere.
The idea was secured by the News
from an advertisement In the Trenton,
Ga, Times, whereby prizes we're Of
fereo.for the best articles in certain
linz the articles offered TO be- the
pfSs~ty Of the paper as a recompense
for the subscriptions offered as prizes
by'that paper. The same idea has al
90 been adopted by the Pikeville pa
per, which, however, increased the
list of prizes to one identical with the
one offered by the News. This idea Of
having string tied to the prizes did
not appeal to the News, although it
formulated an idea that If any wished
to donate any prizes they would be
sold at auction for the benefit Of the
Town Hall here, q public piece Of
property, owned by the citizens of the
town represented by the trustees. This
idea, thru misunderstanding, proved
impracticable, and while several ex7
pressed willingness to donate their
entries, no effort was made. to sell
them.
The fair was held Friday and Sat-
urday and tables erected down the
centre aisle of hall held the entire ex-
hibits, which numbered 80. Friday
was largely preparatory. and no effort
was made at any special program or
public speaking. Miss Louise Hill
and Mrs. W. G Hill. representing the
News, were in attendance during the
day and received the exhibits, issued
receipts and gathered data relating 10
the products. The first to arrive with
exhibits we're Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.,
Lewis, of Caroline Chapel, who were
enthusiastic over the affair, as being a
local matter and actually characteriz-
cd it as Marion County Fair. This
made the, management feel somewhat
chesty at the start. and they went on
with renewed vigor. Exhibits contin-
rued to arrive at intervals during the
day until some 40 or so were on the
tables. They were all got up with
care, and presented very neat APP
pearance. Saturday morning exhib-

arrangements were made for him to

Owing to nearly every family repre-
sen9ed having exhibits, it was Diff

car. and other ladies', all eager to taste
