Obituary.

Mrs. Marguerite Yates, born
Nov, 16, 1875. Was married to
George Garrette, May 21st, 1892.
Was born unto them two chill
dren, Mrs. Georgia Hurt, Of
Breeding, KY, and Mr.. Ulis Gar
rette, of Cumberland county.
Mr.. Garrette was only spared to
her but a few years. She later
was married to Mr.. w. B. Yates,
August 25, 1912. They lived
happily together until JAM, 20,
1917.
God in His mighty power, yet
dealing justly with all men.
With a spirit of love He saw fit
to send the death angel into this
home.
The grim monster, death, on
that fatal day came, and in the
presence of a weeping husband
and children, took the light from
out the home, the precious wife
and loving mother.
After long siege of illness
which made its attack upon her
some several months ago, with
all the suffering and agony she
had to endure, she like a hero,
braved it to the end, without a
single complaint.
Sister Yates has had a Christ
ian experience for many years.
Was a member of the M. E.
Church South.
Inthe trying hour of death
she was heard singing songs OF
Zion. Those standing by say
she pointed heavenward and
smiled. She soon yielded up the
ghost. Her spirit took fight and
has gone to God who gave it.

Two Feeding Rules.

Here are two things about
feeding for winter eggs which
seem to be definitely settled:
First: The hens must have
plenty of feed. The lighter
breeds need all they will eat,
and it is seldom necessary to linn
it the heavier breeds if the ra-
ton is properly balanced and the
hens are made to work as they
should for their feed
Second: Grains alone cannot
be counted on to produce eggs
in large quantities. The hens
must either milk or meat in
some form if they produce many
eggs or produce them at a profit.
PulIets fed on corn, a mixture of
three parts, wheat two parts,
and oats one part in an Ohio test
laid three eggs each during the
experiment, the eggs costing
$1.55 per dozen. Pullets of the
same age and breed fed on a
grain mixture of corn three parts
and wheat one part, together
with dry mash made up of
ground corn two parts, bran one
part and meat scraps three parts
laid thirty-two eggs each during
the.same period, the eggs cost
ing % cents a dozen.
The first lot of pullets ate ZIG
pounds of grain each, the second
total of 37.8 pounds each of
grain and mash.
Feed the hens literally and
feed them meat scraps or milk.
If milk, give them plenty Lof it.

War News.

Complete and definite instruc-
tions to the armed guards" to
be placed aboard American mer-
chant craft bound through the
German submarine zones have
been completed by the Navy De-
partment and approved by Secre-
tary Lansing. They will be for
Warded to the navy personnel
aboard the merchant craft when
ever the ships which are to be
armed are ready to sail.
The nature of the instructions
will not be made public. They
were carefully prepared by navy
officials and then submitted to
Secretary Lansing, &C whose
suggestion some amendment was
made. 1t is planned not to
broadcast the orders generally
through the naval service, but to
furnish the officer in command
of the armed guard on each ship
with copy when his vessel is
ready to sail. The Navy depart
ment is making every effort to
suppress all information regard
ing the armed ships, such as
sailing dates, the equipment put
Rboad by the navy, the person
mel supplied to handle the guns,
or anything that might be of the
slightest value to an enemy. 1t
was said officially, however, that
no conflict of jurisdiction be-
tween the shipmaster and the
gun crews would arise.

-Four things Farmers Need.

The Middle Tennessee Farm
er's Convention last month
adopted four resolutions which
every farmer should heartily fa-
vor and which he should see that
his representatives support.
The first of these is in favor of
the TOrrens system. Tennessee
needs this legislation and there
is nc reason il should not have it
before this legislature adjourns.
If farmers insist on it, it will
come.
The second resolution asks for
a cooperative associations law
for this state. Here, again, is a
measure to which there can be
no reasonable objection and for
which there are strong reasons.
If cooperation among farmers is
a good thing, it should be made
an easy and a practicable thing.
This it will not be until cooper
alive associations are given the
same legal standing as corpora
tions and joint stock companies
and placed under such supervis-
ion as will prevent schemers and
crooks from exploiting the peo-
pie under the guise of cooper
alton.
The third resolution favors the
protection of the doves in this
state. This would be directly tc
the interest of every farmer,
and no one could be injured by
it. This protection should be
given as a matter of course. The
farmer can do a great many
things, but he can scarcely wag'
successful war against insects
and weeds without the help O.
the birds.
The fourth resolution favers /;
more effective dos law, more eff
fectively enforced. The need o
this should be too obvious to ev
cry farmer for any argumen
about it to be required.
Ask your representative in tn
legislature to support these fou
measures. Southern Agricul
] turist.

Now the precious companion
and darling mother is trying the
realities of an unknown world.
She has passed over the road,
from whence no traveller has ev-
er returned, and has gone the
way the living has not learned.
Although she is quietly resting
beneath the cold, cold sod. we
rejoice in knowing that her spir-
it has gone TO join the celestial
family of God.
The remains were brought to
White Hill Church, where she,
for years held her membership.
The writer conducted funeral
services in the presence of a
host of friends and relatives, in
her old home church, using for a
text, Rev., 2.1O. BE thou
faithful unto death and l will
give thee a crown of life." At
ter which she was laid to rest in
the White Hill Cemetery.
She leaves to mourn her de-
parture. an aged father, James
Thurman, of Cumberland county,
a husband. two children, three
brothers, and one sister.
We take pleasure in,extending
to the bereaved our greatest
sympathy. and invoking Gods
richest blessings upon you, trust
ing to meet you in glory with
the deceased, where we'll never
say goodbye, where no death or
heartache ever come.
"Sleep on dear mother, sleep on,
Your tolls of life are done,
Our race like yours will soon be run.
We now look up and thank God
For the wonderful promise He has
given,
That we through His grace can meet
Our darling mother in heaven"

That the crew were saved is
comforting, but beside the mark.
The United States is to be the
beneficiary of no such immunity
as some hopeful ones thought.
As a matter. of fact, there is
no reason-from the German
view-why American shipping
should be held immune. There
has been an element of American
opinion which refused to believe
that Germany would as soon-if
not rather-be at war with the
United States, as not. Some
Germans feel at war with the
United States at this moment, in
witness of which it should not
be necessary again to point out
the Zimmerman plot and what
now goes forward in the matter
of espionage and worse through
out the United States.
The people must not lull them
seIvesAnor permit themselves
to be lulIed-into a sense of
false security from war. De-
spite the slow and dreary pas
sage of tangible event the peo-
pie must keep their patriotism
alive; and be ready to accept the
supreme event without shock or
surprise. The tale of despera-
ton which leaks from Germany
bit by bit must hold the minds
of the people; and not the hope
less hopes of a Germany coming
to its senses, which we hear day
by day.
Germany does not yet believe
the United States either able OF
willing to arm lawful shipping
against submarine attack. But
we are told that such armament
goes forward on the Atlantic
seaboard as expeditiously as pos
sibIe; and within a week or ter
days more the country may heal
of a German attack repelled-s
German submarine sent to thu
bottom-by a lawful American
ship sailing upon a lawful err
rand. 1t is not to be believed
that Germany will brook such al
act; and then the country viii
be called upon to vindicate it
principles and its ideals. Tn
