ATTENTION FARMERS
CALLED TO IMPORTANT
LETTER TO CHAIRMA.
w. c. WARDLAW, OF ATLANTA,
REPORTS THAT THEY ARE
NOT SUPPORTING LOAN,
YOUNG men OFEEnING LIVES
Those Who Are Able And Decline
To Buy Liberty Bonds Lack Real
Red Blood of True American
Citizen.

The attention of the farmers Of
Maury county especially is called to
the following letter:
| II. o. Fulton, Chairman,
Liberty Loan Committee,
Maury County, Tenn.
! Dear Sir:
October II, 1917.
To all Chairmen of Liberty Loan
Committees:
The farmer as much as any one
other class has profited by high prices
brought about by war conditions. Re-
ports from all over the District indi-
cate that he is not as a class, support
ing the Liberty Loan as he should. 1t
is most essential that we secure his
full support if the Loan is to be made
success.
Where crops have been good there
is no possible excuse for the farmer
to decline to subscribe to these bonds
to the extent of his ability, and those
| who do decline, we think, lack the real
red blood of true American citizen.
| He owes as much as any one else to
his country and his country is now
calling on him, not for subscription,
but to lend his money by the purchase
of Liberty Loan Bond bearing 40
interest.
| Our young men are Offering their
lives and that they may be fully
| equipped to be victorious in this war
it is necessary that this Loan be made
a success. An over subscription of
this Loan would be blow to our enc
mics which would tend to bring the
war to an early termination and this
of course, would mean the saving OF
many lives and tremendous amount
of money.
The chairmen of Liberty Loan com
mittees cannot do less than respond
| to the call which is now made on
their time and efforts and it will re
quire a large measure of both to dc
tie work properly that every man.
! W man and child is not only given an
| opportunity to subscribe but is shown
! conclusively that it is their personal
affair, and that they must, therefore

ply are necessary to the development

methods of improving lands and lawns
are so well known that they need not

The repair of injured trees. the re-
moval of poor or crowded specimens
and the scientific preservation Of those
remaining should be the next under
taking. In certain places the planting
of young trees is to be strongly rec.

years, gypsy and browntail moths, the
elm leaf beetle, leaky gas mains or
damaging electric wires have decimal

1t is better to use only one species

of any kind should be used very rarely.
While paintings should by preference
be given a somewhat formal arrange

LACE GROWS ON TREES.
Panama Product May Take Place Of
MOSQUITO Nettinq.

New Orleans, La.-Lace grows on
trees on the isthmus of Panama, and
the trees grow wild in the swamps.
Captain L. W. Richards of the steam
ship Norwalk brought a fine sample,
not merely as a curiosity, but to induce
tests as to the probable utility of the
plant or the tree in this section.
When the bark of the limbs is strip
ped there are rolls of filmy substance
of a texture very much like mosquito
netting. The size of these layers in
creases with the size Of the tree, the
largest being about foot In diameter.
The fabric is strong and can be sewn
without tearing.
The natives use the stuff in making
garments. Captain Richards believes
that by cultivation the trees may be-
come very valuable, and if the lace
layers cannot be enlarged some process
may be perfected by which they can be
Joined into a fabric which will make
the finest mosquito bar and may even
serve for summer raiment.
