Fight off Submarines.

Efforts of German submarines
to foil the transportation of the
first division of the American
army to France have met with
complete failure. American de-
stroyers conveying the trans
ports proved equal to the occa
sion and drove off the under
water boats, with the destruc-
ton of at least one of them, and
probably more. All of the first
American division have been
landed safely in France without
loss of life or even damage to
any ship. Twice the transports
were attacked by U-bOats, and
twice they were driven off, al
though Secretary of the Navy
Daniels says it was evident that
the Germans had knowledge be-
forehand of the coming of the
vessels.

The National Value of Roads.

When we read that by trans
porting soldiers in motor vehicles
of every description the French
army won the decisive battle of
the Marine, few of US realized
that while it was the automobile
that made success possible it was
the network of good roads north
of Paris that made the automo-
bile of any use. Yet those ia
nous roads of France saved the
country and the national value of
roads was proved. We are now
witnessing what troubles lack of
good roads causes in our nation
al emergency. We are building
sixteen cities, each for the tenn
porary home of $4,000 to $4,000
men of eur national army. They
must be built in a great hurry,
generally some miles from rail-
roads and towns. The railways
are building spurs into these
camps, but the railroads are con-
gested. Cars used for short
hauls to these military cities will
stand on sidings much of the
time to be loaded or unloaded,
when their best national service
is in carrying materials long dis
tances. Motor Trucks would
permit the delivery of some of
the supplies needed in large
quantities at these camps but
motor trucking is very difficult
at many of them because there
are no roads suitable for fleets of
trucks and the camps must be
ready for the army before the
right kind of roads can be built.

Consider the Tractor.

Whether the war ends this
year or goes on until next sum-
mer, a big wheat crop is going
to be demanded next year.
The greatest obstacle to the
seeding of a crop bigger than
normal is likely to be the lack of
labor to prepare the land. Both
men and horses for the putting
in of any increased acreage are
likely to be lacking. The tractor
will take the place of both men
and horses on many farms.
This is a good year to consider

DiregO.

Born to the wife of R. O.
Stotts on the End inst, twin
boys.
The school at this place OPEN
ed on the End inst, with over 40
enrolled. Prof. Bennett, the
teacher, has the reputation of
being an excellent teacher, and
so we are expecting one of the
best schools we have had for
some time. There are 80 pupils
in the district, and as soon as
the farmers get up with their
work there will be many others
to enter school, and we hope
that the county board will allow
us an assistant teacher, as it is
impossible for any one teacher to
handle a school of this size and
do the work as well as he could
with an assistant.
The woods have been full of
candidates for the past few days
and everyone you talk to claims
to have his election already won,
but still they must be in doubt
about it from the way they are
hustling, and although there is
not half a dozen Republican vot-
ers in this immediate vicinity
the Republicans appear to pre-
dominate in the number of can
didates to visit here.
Born to the wife of Herschel
Williams on the 9Th inst, a girl.
R. L. Campbell and children,
Earl, Fay and Dorothy, visited
at Roy a day or so last week.
AS the farmers were still very
busy with their crops the meet
ing which was to have COM
menced at this place last Sunday
was called off.
Roy Cannon and family.
Sparksville, visited here last Sat-
urday and Sunday.
Misses Valeria and Tina Camp
bell were baptized into the Meth
odist church at this place last
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Vance
officiating.
Prof. Bryce Walker, of Glens-
fork, visited in this community

In 1916 there were 3,5l3,000

the tractor. More tractors the
past spring would have made
possible a much greater increase
in the acreage of spring crops.
Whether such an increase was
really needed is yet to be seen;
but that does not change the
fact that a tractor greatly in
creases the farmers capacity TO
do unusual things when the need
for doing them arrives.
Of course many farmers do
not need tractors now and are
not likely ever to need them.
Still other farmers who are like
ly to need a tractor in the future
are not now prepared to use one
to advantage. Of course, too,
the buying of a tractor to put in
a single big crop would not be
good business in most cases. No
wholesale rush into tractors is
advised, no excitement about in
creasing crop acreage is called
for.
Still, this is a good year for
farmers seriously to consider the
tractor and its possibilities. 1t
is bound to do more and more of
our farm work and find a place
on a steadily increasing number
of farms. Get the tractor cat
alogues this summer and study
them; consult the tractor dealers.

Maybe you can find decided
profit in using one to put in your
fall grain crop.-Southern Agri-
