FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.

The opportunity for the farmer to
make rousing success was never bet
ter than the outlook for the coming
season indicates.
No one pretends to think that the
war will come to close short of a
year yet and most persons think it will
last much longer.
Accepting that as the situation it
means that this country will be called
upon to furnish immense quantities of
food for the European armies and civ
ilians also. That also means that food
prices are likely to remain high in this
country.
Manifestly that means the man who
has food products to sell is the one
who will find ready market and good
prices. Our people should spare no
effort to grow everything possible the
coming season, for the more we grow
at home the less we will have to buy
and the more we will have to sell.
Grow what you need to eat and buy
as little as possible, and continued
prosperity will dwell with the farmers
of this section.
Every farmer should husband the
manure from his live stock with AL
possible care and buy just as much cot
tonseed meal as possible for the high
prices that are practically sure to pref
vail for TODD will Justify you In grow
ing the largest possible crops. even a.
a slight advance in cost over former
years. But with cottonseed meal
cheaper than it has been for years,
every indication points to cheaper fer
tilizer and crops produced for less cost
than is usual.
The farmers of this section were
never in so good a condition this time
of the year as now. This is largely
due to the fact that they grew bigger
crops last year than ever Before and
hey got better prices for their live
stock. But that is not all.
They are IN better shape because
they did not sell their heters. but kept
them and as result the crop of calves
will be lcrger this spring than ever be-

CUSTER ACT AND GOVERNOR
RYE.

Last week democratic caucus,
dominated by Shelby, Davidson and
Hamilton county legislators. attempted
to take the teeth" out of the Custer
Bill, which is intended to remove
officials who refuse or neglect to en-
force the prohibition statutes.
The effort, to practically render the
law a dead letter, was made when the
clause allowing ten citizens to bring
action and enforce the removal OF
officials who do not enforce the present
prohibition laws. was sought to be
taken out OF the law.
Governor Rye gave his approval to
the amendment that would have taken
the teeth out of the bill, but the
amendment was voted down and the
bill passed. He had not the courage to
veto it and signed it. which made it a
law to take effect at once.
1t was claimed by some that the
strong declaration of Governor Rye for
the enactment of more stringent prohi-
bition laws was only laundering in
the index" and not sincere. This, his
first opportunity to show his real de-
sires, confirms the charge of insincer-
ity.
This will prove great disappoint-
ment to many of the supporters of
Governor Rye, and cause of much re-
greet to many who opposed him..
The most encouraging feature is,
that the twenty-six republicans and
seven independents stood solidly
against destroying the teeth" of the
bill and there were eighteen regular"
democrats who were honest enough to
join with them in enactlng the bill into
q law.
All honor to those who had the cour-
age to stand for clean and honorable
cause.

WHAT ABOUT A FAIR?

The county fair held last fall was
the biggest success of anything of the
kind ever attempted in this county
That, too, in the face of the fact that
only a few weeks notice was given
that it would be held. which made it
impossible for the farmers to make
special preparations. as should be done
in order to make the fair the greatest
possible success.
The time is here NOW, when active
steps should be taken to insure the
holding OF county fair in Crossville
next all along the same lines of the
one last fall.
There is nothing that more surely
encourages the farmer TO do his best
than to know that he must be active
and work with a will to carry off
prizes, because there will be many in
the contest.
The showing made last fall was a
distinct surprise to almost every per-
sol, who attended the fair. That it can
be n ade better this fall is certain.
Drowned the movement is started SOON
enough. Last year was unusually ia
vora lie for some crops. No one can
tell " hat the coming season will be.
1t would be very poor advertisement
for the fair next fall to fall behind the
one IS, year. For that reason active
steps hould be taken to launch the
fair "a ovemeRt at once to the end that
those who wish to compete may have
amp,s time foe preparation.
Stir ap the FAIR idea at once and
begin formulating plans to the end that
farme 8 may be sure fair will be
held a-d there will be no lack of exc
hibits of the kind that will reflect ia
vorably for the county:

There are two things that confront
the American business man as the re-
suit of the European war that should,
and doubtless will. receive very careful
attention.
The greatest field for the sale of
American made goods wall be to very
large degree destroyed when this war
comes to close. Europe has always
been our best market. When this war
ceases it is sure to be much less than
formerly for the people will not be able
to buy as formerly, because of the ire
mendous burden of debt that will hang
So heavily on all the warning nations
and also because of the decrease in
population.
We must seek a now field for our
goods and in SO doing we face either
one or both Of two conditions. We
must capture the markets Of South
America TO large degree to offest our
European loss. TO do this we will
either have to change the character of
our products to suit the South Ameri-
can or We must enter into an expensive
campaign of education to teach the peo-
pie of the southern hemisphere to use
our kind of goods. Either course will
demand large amount of money and
very active and peraistent work.

CRISIS.

Japan's attitude is menacing the
worlds policy of an open door in
China. 1t Is also threatening that
nation with a loss OF sovereignty over
vital parts of her dominion. In mum.
bers Japan is much inferior to China,
but its superiority in military affairs
reduces the difference in population
considerably.
The struggle between Japan and
China is the subject of closest study
by diplomats. Whether a people va
riously estimated at between 300, 00O,.
900 and AGO. 0O, 900 can be dominated
by the Jap is a matter Of considerable
speculation.
Demands made by the Japanese are
cleverly yelled, but Chinese states.
men believe that it is the hope Of the
Japs to extend a %protectorate or
through some sort of control dominate
the policies Of China. The Chinese
have the example Of Korea before
them and they are drawing some les
sons from the fate of that nation at
the hands of the Jap.
