months of watchful waiting, exertiDg
every effort to avoid a rupture with
Germany, striving in every way to
prevent war, moved alone by deep
consciousness of duty to the Ameri-
can people, governed and controlled
by unselfish motives, yielding to the
almost universal demand of peace
loving, but patriotic people, on the
2nd inst, requested the congress of
the United States assembled in extra
ordinary session, to "declare the re-
cent course of the Imperial German
government to be, in fact, nothing
less than war against the government
and the people of the United States
that it formally accept the status of
belligerents thus thrust upon it and
take immediote steps, not only to put
the country in a more thorough state
of defense, but also to exert all its
powers and employ all its resour ces
to bring the government of the Ger
man Empire to terms and end the
war"
BY reason of these conditions,
America has never faced a graver
crisis with reference to its foreign af-
fair in all its history. Confronted, as
we are by the impending war, our
people should take counsel on the vi
tai question of food supply. 1t is
just as necessary to organize the peo-
pie for economic production in times
like these, as it is to organize our
armies for defense.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
in a statement issued March 9th,
gives sound advice to the Nation.
He says: "Both for economic and
patriotic reasons, the American farm
er should strive this year for the high
est standard of efficiency in the pro |
duction and conservation of food"
We have been so prosperous and |
lived so extravagantly until extrava-
gance has become national vice.
We are notoriously wasteful in the
use CT food, and we have never prac-
tlced economy in food production.
Impressed with the gravity of the
situation, and being desirious of in
viting the attention of our people to
this important question, |, Tom c.
Rye. Governor of Tennessee, do by
this proclamation call upon all the
people OF the state to put forth every
effort for efficient food production
and especially do | urge you to so
plan and work, as you have never
planned and worked before, that our
people at home and abroad may be
properly fed.
Let me urge that you grow your
own food supplies for family and for
live stock, that you practice economy
conserve labor, avoid waste and deny
v yourself luxuries.
Do not be tempted by speculative
prices to plant large crops with
which you are not familiar; or which
disturb the ordinary practices of
sound agriculture.
The times demand that every citi-
zen think soberly and act wisely, so
that the high honor of the Nation
may be maintained.
In order that we may profit the
more by the suggestion herein made,
and that they may result in some sub

Though seeming but fancy,

In Natures necromancy.

When 10, magic wand!
And presto gins rustic band
A-piping in the pond.

Breaks into sunny smiling;
Courageous flowers come to birth
The vagrant bees beguiling;

The fern evolves a frond-
In concert with those merry things
A-piping in the pond
In sterner mood, my senses thrilled
To timpani and brasses
And shrilling strings by Boreas drilled
In glacial crevasses.
Today my disposition bends,
Released from winters bond;
fain would hear my little friends
A-piping in the pond.
So, when the April twilight falls
To hush the MONDAY choiring

From marshy homes aspiring;
And, conscious of the stars above,
The heavens ON beyond,

CAR EXTRAVAGANCE
CAN BE ELIMINATED
Slap-Dash Driving Adds Many
Unnecessary Expenses to
Your Motor Upkeep.

Patriotic car owners of Tulsa are
interested In knowing how to econ
omizc on the upkccp of their cars,
says e. NJ. Grotkop, of Mitchell Motor
Sales company.
We have ben told by Mr. Hoover
that while we most certainly should
eliminate ali extravaganza from our
methods OF living, still we should not
be frugal to the CNtcnt Of impairing
our efficiency.
Just as these interesting facts
apply to our eating work and recrea-
tlon, so they also apply to driving u
car.
Many good patriots every day are
waateful and even cXtravagant in
the way they drive their cars not
that they drive too much, but rather
that they do not follow the ordi-
nary precautions which will make
their cars last longer and go farther
at minimum expense.
For instance. did YOU ever no
tlce how some drivers take turns Z?
\ honk of the horn a rush Of air.
and they're gone-if the road is
clear II is isn't, the brakes lock with
q slam; the motor races its head off
And what does this all mean? Useless
wear on the tires; excessive waste OF
gasoline and oil; service strains on
the engine, and certain damage to
the brakes
F'rhe greatest racing car pilots
that the world has ever known slow
down for turns on the track They
do that because they know how TO
get. the utmost out of their steed.
cannot figure out why some paSsen-
ger car drivers do not use the same
god Judgment.
How much easier and more eco
nomical it is to allow the motor to
slow down the car. This will save
gasoline and oil, will lengthen the
life of the brakes and will not work
any hardship on the engine.
ION the other hand. I've seen
many drivers who literally waste as
much gasoline in stopping and start
ing as they probably use on the whole
trip.
ITS absolutely unnecessary to race
a motor in making a stop. This prac-
tice wastes gasoline and oil. and

OPERATING COSTS
FAVOR ELECTRICS
Advancing Prices of Gasoline
Cause People to Pay At
tention to Them.

There Is ono way to get away
from the increased cost of operating
a motor car and at the same time
enjoy all the advantages Of an auto
mobile, and that is to buy Detroit
Electric" So says W. q. Bottom,
local dealer for Detroit Electrics.
"In the last IS months the cost Of
gasoline has increased y per cent
and indications are that 1t will 30
higher. Not only is the reserve sup
ply of gasoline diminishing rapidly
but the demands of the government
and allies are enormous for war pur-
poses. In fact, it is rumored that the
government may take over the CON
troll of the gasoline output of the
country to insure a supply for its
own needs Should this be done there
is n possibility that the civilian mo-
torist will be unable 10 buy gasoline.
At any rate he is paying much high
or price now and this is shown di-
rectly to him all the time in the
monthly statements OF his operating
costs In the case of the electric
there has been no rise in the cost Of
current. and there seems little likeli-
hood that the cost OF rccharging a
battery will go up.
with the Detroit Electric, the aver
age family can enjoy more comfort
than with any other motor car. Every
member can drive 1t and Detroit
Electric has Il travel range of 80 to
100 miles ON a single charge, more
than sufficient for the average daily
need. Then, too, the enclosed fea-
ture of the Detroit Electric makes
it the ideal car for all year use. Be
"a. .N.s
tion, does not require the attention
of other types Of automobiles ana is
always ready for service, regardless
of season or weather"
