Perhaps you are discouraged in what
you are attempting to accomplish, and
perhaps you are thinking that it does
not matter. anyhow, whether you sue
ceed or whether you fail.
But stop for a moment and consider
how much 81 meant TO the world that
some other people kept on in their en-
deaVors.
There was Columbus. who set out TO
find a new continent It was a colossal
undertaking and required colossal cour-
age and perseverance. supposing he had
turned back before the course was half
covered What a difference II would
have made to the world Not only a
difference in a geographical sense, but
In a material and a moral sense, because
his courage and endurance have left
lasting lessons 70 humanity.
Then there was Robert Fulton, who
conceived the idea of a steamship cross
ing the ocean. He worked years and
years in the face Of every discourage
ment before his dream became a reality
Had he given up we might still be forced
to cross the sea by the slow and unsafe
process Of sailing vessels.
| Cyrus Field conceived tile idea OF an
| ocean cable. Thirteen years elapsed
] thirteen discouraging and depressing
/ years, before success was attained. What
blessing to humanity that he did moi
/ give up his purposel
| Marconi met with diseouragements anC

Us the wonderful wireless. How uniyer

Think of all these things before you give
up I'm what you are attempting to do.
Even II your aim is only one OF mod
est success and independence. do not
despair OF success thinking II does not
matter to any one else. Every sef-re-
liant character means a great deal TO
the world.
II means one more litter and one less
leaner. so go on in your efforts at
achievement Make the very best OF
yourself and believe that you are bet
tering the world by so doing Believe
that you are cheating and wronging the
world n you fail to do this.
Keep on trying, hoping. praying and
working. BY and by success will come
to you. And every effort you make here
will count In your next life. The reward
is sure-sometime. somehow.

If by chance that world had not existed
Which he set forth to find with faith so grand,
Then God. who how nobly he persisted
strange search had sraightway made the land
Yea! God would form today in wide midocean
continent recompense the quest
OF who burned with that supreme devotion
That sefess flame which lit Columbus breast
The very thought of that unchanged endeavor
Which did not falter with abuse or scorn,
But wrenched the secret out of space, must ever
Be inspiration unto worlds unborn.
Oh mighty spur to purpose and ambition
OH faith repaid Down, scoffer, to your knees
Behold one strong religious dreams fruition-
A continent plucked from the very seas.

FARM TRACTOR ENGINE
DEMONSTRATION HERE
New International Mogul Takes
Place of Eight Horses.

One of the latest and best contri-
buttons to farm machinery is the
New 8-16 Mogul Farm Tractor En-
gine, made by the International
Harvester Co., and sold in Union
City by Nailling-Keiser Hardware
Co., which was used here by the
travelling representative, J. w. Gar
ner, assisted by Mr.. Herman How
ard, in a practical demonstration on
the w. P. Rogers land in the south
ern border of the city last week and
again on Monday to large number
of spectators.
This is small, stocky, powerful,
steel machine with a grip on the
earth of eight mechanical horse
power and a pull on the belt of 16
horsepower. The engine develops
8 horsepower at draw bar and 16
at the belt. 1t consumes about
twenty gallons of kerosene, motor
spirits, naptha, or distolate per ten
hours under full load, and will pull
two 14-inch bottom plows ten inches
deep 7in the heaviest black land.
Will pull disk harrows, ensilage cut
ters, threshers or do any belt work
or draw-bar work for which it is
rated.
The demonstration showed the en-
gine in practical operation and do
ing the work that was formerly a
heavy farm task without the slight
est difficulty.
Since the first internal combustion
engine solved the traffic problem of
the cities, the best mechanical brains
in the country have been working
to perfect a mechanical tractor ca
pable of doing the work now done
by horses on farms ranging from one
hundred acres up. Horse muscle, at
it's best, has proved inefficient. Gov
ernment investigation has shown
that the farm horse averages only
three hours work day, and yet he
is fed three hundred and sixty-fiye
days. The cost of labor, and of oats
and hay, has made the horse ques-
tion serious. The small farmer is
facing the crisis. This tractor is the
best power substitute on the market
to-day for the small farmer.
Call at the Nailling-Keiser Hard
ware Co and see this simple yet
wonderful machine.

ENGLAND MAY BAR
LIQUOR THIS WEEK
Beer for Workingmen May Escape
British Ban.

London, April 3.-The government
ticipated early in the coming week
and it is believed it will be practic-
ally as forecasted in my dispatch of
Wednesday, which was sent after a
talk with a person who is greatly
concerned in ameliorating the pres
ent conditions.
The British press is now almost
unanimous in the opinion that the
government action will include total
prohibition of spirits. During the
last day or two there has been a
growing agitation among a certain
class in favor of allowing the work
ingman still to have his beer, which,
as everyone knows, is the ancient
staple drink of England.
1t is just possible that the gov
ernment may make this concession,
but if this is done, all classes will
be warned that continuation of ex-
cessive drinking will result in alb
solute prohibition.
1t is not at all certain, however,
that the government will listen to
the appeal for the retention of beer,
especially in view of the no uncer-
tain voice of those representing the
best interests of the nation, who ex-
press willingness to abstain from
alcohol in any form during the war.
Only yesterday the majority of the
London newspapers carried a page
advertisement appealing to the pub
lie to write to Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Lloyd-George declaring "in
favor of the suspension of the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors" during the war.
Up to tonight some 10000 letters
had been delivered at the Chancel-
lor's residence in Downing Street in
response to the advertisement.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
or STATE MUST WAIT
Assembly Recesses Without Con-
structive Legislation.

Nashville, Tenn, April g. For
the second time during the present
session the General Assembly ad-
journed tonight for a recess OF 80
days. 1t will reassemb1e May 3.
AS predicted in the Commercial
Appeal, the general appropriation
bill, the assessment and revenue bill
and the tax bill were not acted on.
No measure of constructive nature
has been passed and when the Leg
islature convenes one month hence,
with but II days of the regular ses-
sion remaining, all the needed laws,
all the legislation that demands con-
sideration, must come up and be dis
posed of within that time.
The House, after refusing yester-
day afternoon to pass the appropria-
tion bill, adopted resolution au-
thorizing the comptroller to carry
on the necessary expenditure of the
State. The Senate this morning, on
motion of Senator Worley, adopted
the resolution and at least one en-
barrassing. situation was covered up.
Gov. Rye, it is understood, became
wroth yesterday afternoon when in
formed that the House had precipi-
tatedly postponed consideration of
the appropriation bill until some
time in May. He sought the lead
ers of the House and changed their
minds and reversed their line of con-
duct. AS a result Mr.. McDade, said
after due consideration he was Of
the opinion that the appropriation
bill should be disposed of before re-
ces,. Mr.. Levine said he had thought
over the matter and, strange to re-
late, had reached the same conclu-
sion. AS result the bill was set
for consideration at IL O'Clock this
morning.
During the night and all of to-
day the members were folding their
tents, filling their quart-sized grips
and silently stealing away. When
the hour for consideration in the
appropriation bill arrived there were
not enough members to have passed
an anti-liquor law.

LOCKER BILL REPASSED.

In the Senate the situation was
different. Yesterday it bungled the
matter of passing the 'locker" bill,
when it should have waited for the
House bill on the same subject, and
it was necessary for a sufficient
number of the Senators to remain
over to give that measure consti-
tutional majority. Probably nothing
else would have induced them to re-
main, and doubtless there was some
effort to persuade certain of them
to leave before the hour of II o'clock
arrived this morning, but they stood
by Admiral Grape Juice of the good
ship Piffie and put the bill over
second time.
The greatest disappointment is
felt by some of the members that
the Legislature could not be in
duced to give intelligent considera-
tion to the subjects that are of vital
interest to the State. Gov. Rye de-
parted from his custom of permit
ting the Legislature to work out it's
own destiny and few days ago
urged that the tax bill be passed
While the message did not designate
the time, it was apparent that he
felt the bill should become law be-
fore the Legislature took recess.
To-day he sent a message urging
the passage of the antipass law, but
there was no response, and only a
few members were there to hear it
read. The demand for the passage
of the antipass law is one of the
planks in the Democratic platform,
and Gov. Rye is urging the Legis-
lature to enact~into law every pledge
embodied in the platform, as well as
all pledges made by him on the
stump during the campaign.
RAILROADS UNCONCERNED.
Instead of sharing his feeling of
responsibility, the Legislature is ap-
parently quite well satisfied with
the situation. The railroads are
making no effort to prevent the pas
sage of the antipass bill. Their at
torneys and representatives at the
capitol assure the members that the
passage of the measure is a matter
of total indifference to the railroads.
Except for the fight that is being
made for what the railroads call
political effect, it is said that in all
probability the railroads would have
urged the enactment of such law.
As it is, they are taking no part in
the agitation and neither are the
members of the Legislature.
