GRAINS LOWER, MEATS HIGHEF
Since it is generally accepted as a
fact that grain prices are bound to
come down after the war, because
Russia, Argentina and Canada can and
WILL furnish grain cheaper than it can
be produced in the United States, it
IS the part of wisdom to cast about to
see what products of the farm are
likely to bring the largest returns af
ter the war.
1t Is also generally admitted that
! when the armies of Europe return to
their homes they will carry with them
such enlarged appetites for meat as
they never had before. AS a result
they will demand more meat than In
the past. That means the demand for
meat by the world will be greater than
ever before.
1t is well understood that the war
ring nations have greatly reduced their
live stock, especially the meat produc-
ing animals, and for that reason there
will be an increased demand for breed
ing stock. Those two certain condi
tlons mean that meat prices will con-
tlnue to stand at higher level than
ether TODD stuffs. Hence the man who
produces live stock stands the least
chance of feeling The Inevitable de-
preesion after the war than any other
food producer.
No where in the United States is
there such vast territory so admir-
ably adapted to live stock raising as
this great Cum mberland Plateau c0un-
try, that lays almost as level as the
western prairles, where land cen be
bought tor ten dollars an acre and up,
where there are thousands of acres of
free pasture for cattle, sheep and
hogs. Considering the low price of
land here, the splendid crops that can
be grown OH it with reasonable care
and management, our long summers, |
short and mild winters, this section
certainly presents an amazing OppOr |
tunity to the live stock producer and |
the homeseeker.
Within the next few years this Sec
tion is destined to receive an influx of |
population such as was never witnessed |
before and our general prosperity IS |
sure to be correspondingly great.
MANY VICTIMS
Within the past year 4,5O0 persons
have died in the state from tuberculo-
BIS and it Is estimated that there are
close to 45, 600 afflicted persons IN the
state.
In launching the new organization
the aim IS not so much to sell Red
Gross stamps as it IS to awaken in the
minds of the people, and especially the
young, the knowledge that tuberculosis
can he prevented and that those COM
mon health rules that are essential to
general good health are very effective
IN fighting the great white plague.
BOY SCOUTS.
Rev. W. G. Martin, as scout master
If the Boy Scouts organization, has
,ignified his willingness to encourage
he Boy Scouts to become members Of
he Health Crusaders organization and
.hus encourage among the boys the
course of living that will tend TO make
.hem strong and healthy while assist
osIs through encOuragln g the sales of
The Red Cross. stamps.
CAMP FIRE GIRLS.
Miss Elizabeth Snow, who is at the
read of the Camp Fire Girls organiza-
ion IN Crossville, has also signified
Ter willingness to carry the Health
crusaders movement to her girls and
lrge them to enter actively into the
work at once.
With these two organizations work.
ng IN harmony there promises to be
Iplendld results for the brief campaign
,e:ween now and Christmas. that be-
ng the time at which the Red Cross
tamp sales will cease.
The Red Cross stamps can be hau at
he store OF W. F. Bandy and it is
probable that other stores will also as
Ist the movement by keeping the
tamps on hand. Get some of the ,
lamps and every time you mail let
er put on Red Cross seal and there {
" show to the world that you are as
lsting in the fight against the white
plague. &
A bonus of one dollar is to be given /,
o either the Camp Fire Girls or the
10Y Scouts, whichever one sells the
more Red Cross stamps. The amount {
