THANKSGIVING SPIRIT
OF 1878 AND 1917

Juliana Smith writes to "Dear
Cousin Betty" of Thanksgiving din
ner in 1779: Everything was good,
though we did do without some things
that ought to be used. Neither love
nor paper money could buy raisins,
but our good red cherries, dried with
out the pits, did almost as we'll
"Of course we could have no roast
beef. None of us have tasted beef
this three years back, as it all must
to go to the army, and too little they
get, poor fallows But Nayquitty
maw's hunters were able to get US :
fine red deer so that we had a gooC
haunch of venison on each table,"
This was the Thanksgiving spirit in
the midst of the American revolu-
ton. The colonies were engaged in
the war that made America safe for
democracy. Thanksgiving 1917 and
America is engaged in war to make
the world safe for democracy. Juliana,
writing in 1879, has given the text
for Thanksgiving dinner 1917. She
has made all the points; the sermon
is not needed. Everything was good
we do without some things-oul
own cherries-roast beeffor the sold.
iers.
AS in 1779 let us plan our feast
for Thanksgiving for 1917. Let us,
a thankful people, celebrate the har-
vest-festival with the fruits from our
own fields. The feast is in a sense
a sacrifCial offering, so we will do
without many things because they are
needed for our soldiers. But as of
old. whether the food be plain or
rich, let everything be good.

FINE IMPROVED FARMS FOR
SALE ON EASY PAYMENTS

On account of an accident / have
sustained, which will take me from
my work for some time, ! have de-
cided to sell off my lands and bust
ness and am therefore in a position
to offer several tracts of the best in-
proved places in this end Of the State
on terms that anyone can afford to
buy and make the land pay for itself
while farm products are at such high
prices,
100 Acres = A part Of the Dodds
east farm, one and one-half miles
from Hickman, all in cultivation and
has been in pasture for several years.
| lao Acres-Another part of the
same farm.
1870 Acres-Another part Of the
same farm.
All Of the above land borders on
the gravel road and would be an ideal
place for residences. One and one
half miles from Hickman Ky. All
trains stop at Dodds Station, which
has the same freight rates as Hick-
man for your farm products. Elec-
trio lights accessible to all this prop
erty.
| / will also cut up my lower place
containing 1900 acres into tracts
ranging from so to 300 acres. All
these lands have the best improve
ments, and all produce enough crops
at the present price Of cotton, alfal-
J ia. corn and wheat to paw for it in
two years.
Terms Twenty per cent cash, bal
ance on as long time as desired, 6
per cent interest, payable annually.
| We also have SO head of registered
Hereford cows, Is one-year-old bulls,
Is six-months-old bulls and 2 three
year-old bulls. These calves are all
sired by bulls that range in price
from 81 900 to $4,000. There are but
few herds Of Herefords in the South
that are better than these. We bought
nothing but the best for our founda-
ton.
We also offer a picked herd Of 20
cows from over 100 Of Red Poll.
There is not a finer lot of cattle in
the State.
Also herd Of the best Hampshire
sheep in the State and some Of the
best Berkshire brood sows that could
be bought, together with about so
young hogs both male and female.
The government is pleading with
you to raise more cattle and hogs
and there is no better chance to be
had than getting your breeding stock
from US. They will make you money
and a good one does not cost any
more to raise than a. scrub"
We also have several registered
saddle brood mares and several two
and three-year-old fillies, all Of the
best breeding. There is no stock on
my places that is not registered and
registration certificates will be given
with each animal sold.
Also have some of the best mules
in the county for sale.
We also have several nice farms
just across the river in Missouri
ranging from 100 acres to 500 acres
per tract. This land is well improv-
ed and will produce anything.
Remember you are buying direct
from the owner and no commissions
have been added. Good lands will
never get any cheaper.

GERMAN SUGAR
POLICY MISTAKE
DECLARES CRITIC

That Germany made a serious mis-
take in the early months Of the war
by reducing the sugar beet acreage OF
the empire in order to increase the
production Of grain is commended oy
Prof. Roy 8. McElWee Of the depart
ment Of economics Of Columbia uni
versity Says facts about sugar.
Prof. McElwee's conclusions are
based upon a first-hand study OF the
food situation made in Germany last
summer, and are embodied In pam
phlet, Bread Bullets"
Warning the country against hl-cog:
sidered and amateurish attempts to
cope with the threatened food snort
age, Prof. McElwee says:
The individual farmer, If left 70
himself, will usually be wrong, espe'
cially in times Of such kaleidoscope
situations as at present. The Germans
made such q mistake in their sugar
acreage. Germany was the largest
grower and exporter of beet sugar and
sugar best seed. Therefore, with no
expectation possible, the beet acreage
was put into bread cereals. Now
everybody carries a glass tube oil
saccharine, as sugar Is almost uno0'
tainable. That is one more mistake
we need not make"
Confirmation of the truth OF this
criticism of the policy adopted by the
German government is found in re
cent dispatches from Berlin recount
ing the measures being taken to in
crease the German sugar crop OF 1871.
II is announced that, upon petition
from the beet growers, the federal
council has increased the price to be
paid for sugar beets from 32.5 cents
per hundred. pounds to ABB cents;
has ordered that growers shall re
ceiye back from the factories larger
percentage of beet pulp after the
sugar has been extracted; has as,
signed them q larger proportion Of
the available supply Of commercial
fertilizers; and has taken measures
to insure them an increased labor
supply, especially of prisoners OF war
The factories have also been grant
ed an increase of 20 per cent in the
price fixed for raw sugar. The price
now fixed il double that prevailing
during the first year Of the war.

OF RUSS SUGAR
NOW PROPOSED

Petrograd dispatches Of recent date
indicate that the sugar situation in
Russia has become 30 serious as to
compel the provisional government, in
the midst Of its gigantic task Of trying
to steer the country safely through the
perils Of the political revolution. and
its attendant social and economic dis
organization, to give special attention
to the policy to be adopted for insur-
ing an adequate sugar supply.
The provisional government has ap-
parently come to the conclusion that
only prompt and drastic action will
solve the problem raised by the failure
Of last seasons beet crop and the dis
sipation Of the supposed 'inyiolate re-
serve" for the new minister of finance,
A. !. Shingaroff, is reported to be pre-
pairing a law creating state sugar
monopoly, on the general lines of the
old vodka monopoly.
BY the terms of the proposed law
all the sugar hereafter produced in
Russia will be purchased by the state
at q price based on the cost of pro-
duction and will be sold at prices fixed
by the ministers Of supplies and
finance. Retail sales will be carried
on by state stores, by cooperative So
cieties, and by private dealers, who
will be under state supervision and
who will be paid q fixed commission.
The price to the purchaser under this
law will be the wholesale price set by
the government plus the dealers COM
mission and outlay
Under the old regime there had been
promulgated DEGREES fixing the prices
TO be paid growers for their beets
and those at which the sugar factories
were permitted to sell their product.
There had also been issued regula-
tons prescribing the amount Of sugar
allowed to be consumed by each In

LOUISIANA CANE ACREAGE
SHOWS II PER CENT GAIN

The sugar cane acreage of Louisiana
this year is estimated at about II
per cent above the 1916 acreage, &C.
cording to reports made to the bureau
of crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture by its
Louisiana field agent. His figure is
based on an average increase as
shown In reports from cane growers
covering 52,114 acres. The total area
harvested for sugar In Louisiana In
1916 was 221 200 acres, SO that If
this predicted increase is actually
reached the cane acreage for the state
for 1917 will reach close to 100000
acres.
According to the governments re-
port, the high prices received last
season are one explanation Of the in
creased acreage this year. Another is
the fact that certain sugar manu-
featuring companies that depend for
the most part on the growers for
their cane supply were very active at
planting time in urging the growers
TO increase their acreage. &<s, ssgs....c J.
