THERE is NO DEATH.

| am not afraid of you, Earth my
mother,
You held me laughing upon your
breast;
You warmed me, fed me, answered
Wisdom of your mystery;
You led me on, for you understood,
Till | toiled and wrought as a true
man should;
You will hold me again, you and
no other,
When | lie down to rest,
And best of all, you will not forget
When you have covered me light, so
light;
For out OF the crumbled wreck of

You will lift the dreams that dream

And weave them anew, with patient
skill,
Into young laurel and daffodil.

Q
a SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile Making You
Sick, and You Lose a Days
Work.


Calomel salivates, It's mer-
curry. Calomel acts like dyna-
mite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact
with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nau-
sea.
If you feel bilious, head
achy, constipated and all
knocked out, just go to your
druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless sub
stitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it does
Mt start your liver and straight
ten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today
you'll be sick and nauseated
tomorrow; besides it may sal
ivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up great, full of ambition
and ready for work or play.
It's harmless pleasant and safe
to give to children; they like
it. A

IF l HAD TIME

If | had time, I'd stop and smile,
Show to the world that sunshine

That human hearts still glow with
warmth and love
And feel a simple joy in each

If | had time, I'd stop and say,
Some cheerful word, repeat some
compliment,
Paid friends, express again good
thoughts of them;
To gain the blessing, breed the
thoughts myself.
If | had time, I'd stop and shake,
The roughened hand that aches be-
cause of toll;
Restore a fallen faith in honest work
By closely grasping just a horny
hand.
If had time, I'd stop and do
Some little deed of kindness as go
Along the path of life-hold the hand
Of some poor comrade, teach him
how to walk.
Yet why should | be won't to say,
"If | had time" when all the time
that is
Is mine, and / may use it as belts
The warnings and desires that live

THINKING OF MY SOLDIER LAD

Dear Sir:-Am sending you a poem
of my own composition and ask you
to print it in honor of Lee county
soldier boys, as I've dedicated it to
all soldiers.
My home is in Lee county at Sal
tillo, however, at present I'm a stu
dent in Hall-Moody Institute, Weakly
county, Tenn.
Anna Lee Hardin.
Dedicated to the Soldiers, by the Girls
that are left Behind.
Pm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
And my heart is sore and sad;
For you who cross the mighty blus,
To fight for the STARS and Stripes
so true.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
No greater task you've ever had,
To be so noble and so true,
To play your part in this great
drama too.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
AS old freedom looks on with
praises glad,
Of having a son in service great,
To defend our Country" and Il
State"
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
And of the pleasant time we've
had,
While you were near with songs of
cheer,
To drive away all my pain S and
fears,
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad
And want to make your heart feel
glad,
For at Gods mercy throne of grace,
| humbly pray for you each day.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad
AS you step to music and never
fag,
But looking for a time of peace
When all true hearts can fell that
ease.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad
While your soul waves out the flag,
AS the roar and eagles soar,
And raining hail on the ground
doth pour.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad
For you Gods mercy is not a fad,
But ever watching and cares for you;
That you may be one of His faith
full few.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
For / know thee not to be a cad,
But facing bravely what ever the tide;
In Christ the Solid Rock you may
Hide.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
Now place my thought within your
jag,
And know my love is true and strong;
For I'd like to hear you sing an
other song.
Pm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
Be brave and glad and look not
sad,
For theirs always one who cares;
And prays to the Father to remove
all fears.
I'm thinking of you, my soldier lad;
And my thoughts don't seem so
bad,
For if we never meet by means of
man;
We shall, in the Getty" by Gods
right hand.

THERE'S ROOM FOR THE Chill
DREN.

(By Edgar E. Ballard.)
There's room in the sky for the eagle
A place to plume his wing.
There's room on the ground for the
ring-dove-
A place to softly sing.
There's room in the world for the
A place to toss and roar.
There's room for the murmuring
brooklet-
A bed to ripple DER.
There's room in the heavens for
lightning.
A place to flash and glare.
There's room for the humble glow
A place to make his lair.
There's room in the world for the
"grown-ups"-
A place to live and love.
There's room in the world for the
children

SLY TRICK TURNED
ON EXAMINING BOARD

w. R. Turner, of this place,
pulled off a trick on the examin-
ing board at Jasper yesterday
that has caused much laughter.
His number was 100, and he wait
ed all day for his turn to come.
1t waXed close to train time and
he came to the conclusion that
something must be done. He
had a sick wife at home and that
FASTENED his action. He stripped
off his clothes lin an adjoining
room and when the examiners
called next he popped in and took
his seat. His number was asked
and he gave it. There was
some dissent to his examination
out OF turn, but finally the Off
Gals gave in, saying, Since you
are already stripped we will eX-
anime you," and Turner had sue
cessfully turned his trick on the
officials.

INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found
To Think Of These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three to five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes a firm seed bed just below
the surface. II the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The in
crease in yield from the firm packing
OF roller will often pay for the roller
in one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out all
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can be
increased five bushels if one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly whole year to grow a crop of
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. 1t does not cost any
more and the profit is so pleasing and
satisfactory. DO your best this time
and note the difference.-C. E. Alfred,
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville.

TRACTOR EXPERIMENT
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

A. L. Robertson, one of the
newly elected pike commission of
three. is having considerable
work done on the Rankin Ferry
road, a part of the Nashville
Chattanooga Pike. Mr.. Rober-
son realized early in the game
that it would take something
stronger than men with pick and
shovel to create an impression on
the job, and as he wished to make
a big showing on Anderson Hill,
a steep activity which is a terror
to motorists, he persuaded A. r.
Pryor, who owns a steam trac-
tor. to let him have it for a few
days. Mr. Pryor, who is road
enthusiast, let him have the en-
CINE and Mr.. Robertson started it
on the job with plows and grader
attached, and the result has been
something wonderful. More
work has been accomplished than
fifty men could do with pick and
shovel, and it is highly satisfac-
tory. The road is also being
Strengthened slightly to improve
the grades. 1t is contemplated
to change the site of the ferry to
a point north of Running Water
Creek, about a quarter of mile
nearer the dam. This change in
route would eliminate over a mile
of very bad road and connect d.
rectly with road leading from
Chattanooga to the Lock and
Dam at Guild. To reach this pro-
posed new ferry point a short
road would have to be construct
ed northwardly from present
point. This change in route is
merely tentative so far.

ABOUT ALL HELD
FOR SECOND EXAMINATION

Examination of young men register
ing for military service commenced
Tuesday. Contrary to general belief
there are few exemptions so far, and
about all will have to go to the war
or appeal to higher tribunals.
The board at Jasper seems.to be ex
aiming physically only, and it takes
very great defect for them to. ex
cuse young man, 1t has been popu-
larry believed that We had few young
men physically perfect enough in this
county to play on a ball team, but
Judging from the results 80 far in the
examination there could easily be a
first class ball team in every commun-
ity of the county. The young men
are about all perfect physically. Mar
ried men, also, will have to be passed
on by the higher board.
This curious condition of affairs is
explained by some that the examin
ing board of the county has little al
tentative except to send the men on
to the next board, owing to ruling
at Washington.that to excuse any man
would work hardship on the next
one. 1t would also throw the local
board open to criticism. These points
now appearing, many people are won
dering for what purpose the county
examining board was created. and why
the men were not sent to the next
board at once and have the matter ov-
er with. Many think that the entire
registration list, with few exceptions
will be called eventually, and that
this is the object of holding the men.

FARMERS INCOME TAX

The United States Revenue Collec-
tors have sent out blanks that the
farmers are expected to FILL and then
appear before one of the deputy col
lectors for personal consultation. The
important thing to be done by those
who suspect that they may be subject
to this tax is to gather all the 'informa-
ton which they may be called upon
to furnish. For example, they should
make careful records of everything
sold from the farm, together with the
total sum received. Then they should
make similar reports of everything
bought which entered into the conduct
of the farm, as, for example, feed and
livestock of all kinds. The ordinary
family expenditures are not to be de-
Quoted from the gross income.
The man who has a complete record
OF all his business transactions will
be much better able to answer the
questions which viii be asked OF hin
by the deputy collector; and, mas
much as the income tax law imposes
a very severe penalty upon any indi-
vidual who should make a return and
fails to do so, and upon any individual
who makes any false or fraudulent re-
turns, farmers should prepare to pro-
tect themselves by being able to fur
nish promptly and satisfactorily any
information which may be demanded
Of them.
Your County Agents or Specialists
at the Division of Extension, Univer-
sity OF Tennessee, Knoxville, can help
you in this matter, and will be glad to
do 80 without charge.
