Curing a Community of the
Lawing Habit"

Lawlng Habit"
"That old man has nearly STOP
ped lawsuits among the farmers
in his county," said a friend in
our office recently, speaking of
a demonstration agent we know.
He has gotten farmers to see
the wisdom of arbitrating dis
putes instead of rushing into a
court with every controversy"
This is certainly a notable
service for any demonst ration
agenr to render his people. By
carrying on a lawsuit, the poor
farmer takes money away from
his own wife and children and
gives it to the lawyers wife and
chlldren-when Mrs. Lawyer is
probably already riding in an
automobile and Mrs. Farmer
possibly in a wagon. (She's
lucky to have a wagon or even a
wheelbarrow if her husband is
of the Externally lawing" sortJ
And then instead of having a
dispute quickly settled and good
feeling with neighbor speedily
restored, as should be the case
when arbitration is used, a law
suit means long delay in reach.
ing decision, and the bad blood
between neighbors probably get
ting more and more venomous
all the time of waiting! What
foolish proceeding it is!
Only today we heard of two
farmers who two or three wears
ago got into a dispute over a
piece of land worth about $25.
Already each man has paid out
about $500 in lawyers fees; each
disputant has embittered and
soured his own life through the
controversy; the neighborhood
has been split up in factions sup.

It's no more timely now than
at any other season, but arbitra

Kill Flies and Save Lives

Kill Flies and Save Lives
Kill at once every fly you can
find and burn his body.
Observers say that there are
many reasons to believe there
will be more flies this season
than for a number of years.
The killing of just one fly
NOW means there will be bill
lions and trillions less next sum-
mer.
Clean up your own premises;
see and insist that your neigh
bors do likewise.
Especially clean "out.ofthe.
way-places," and every nook
and Granny.
Flies will not 20 where there
is nothing to eat, and their prin.
cipal diet is too filthy to men
ton.
The fly is the tie that binds
the unhealthy to the healthy!
The fly has no equal as a
germ carrier; as many as five
hundred million germs have
been found in and on the body
of a single fly.
1t is definitely kuown-tha the
fly is the carrier" of the germs
of typhoid fever; it IS widely be-
lieved that it is also the carrier"
OF other diseases, including pos
sibly infantile paralysis.
The very presence of a fly is
a signal and notification that a
housekeeper is uncleanly and
inefficient.
Do not wait until the insects
begin to pester; anticipate the
annoyance.
April, May and June are the
best months to conduct an anti
fly campaign.

districts provide ideal breeding

ican NAVY in the war against
Germany.
Patrol of the entire Atlantic
seaboard, reaching southwark to
the Panama Canal Zone and
possibly northward to include
Canada, will be the first duty of
American warships. With that
goes the necessity of guarding
against the probable extension
of the German submarine cam

British and French ships now
on this patrol duty will be with.

forces have their lines establish

will operate from. British and
French bases in the South At
lantic wherever necessary.
Commanders of the British
and French forces off the Amer
ican coasts, 1t is known. have
expected that Germany would
extend her submarine operations
to these waters. Arrangements
to patrol vigorously the ap-
proaches to the chief American
harbors have been made and
will be carried out by American
ships.
1t has been expected that Ger

America Calls for Food Crops.
Big Gardens and Heavy
Fertilization
A great war authority has
said every nation fights on its
belly" that is to say, no army
can fight unless it is fed. 1t is
strong only in proportion to its
food supply. And the truth of
this statement finds emphatic IL
lustration in present internation-
al conditions. The supreme
test of endurance alike for Ger
many and England is concerned
not with men and munitions but
with food.
With war declared. therefore,
and a war in behalf of the sa
cred principles of liberty and
democracy to which America is
dedicated, every man who right
ly tills our soil may feel himself
as surely defender of the ma
tion as if he were fighting with
musket, cannon or battleship.
But remember that we say, pro-
vided this farmer rightly tills the
soil. The cry of America today
is for food and feed and plenty
of it. In all the other fighting
countries of the earth there is a
deficiency of food, and with urf-
told thousands of men going to
war from our American farms.
American capacity for produc-
ton will decline and both the
demand for and the prices of
food are likely TO exceed any,
thing we have yet known.
Patriotism and self-interest
alike therefore should prevent
over-planting of cotton and to
bacco and encourage the heavi-
est possible production of food
crops in every Southern state.
Soldiers can put up with worn

without food. As some one has
said, "You cannot darn your
breakfast. mend your dinner, OF
patch your supper" Food and
feed crops must therefore con
tinue relatively higher than
cotton.
We are fortunate IN that wal
comes while there is yet time tc
change our plans so as to make
acreage conditions fit the plair
mandates of the market and O.
patriotism. No one knows how
much it will cost to buy war
priced corr, meat and flour with
which to make cotton. and the
only safe policy is to make the
farm first feed itself. We mus
have ample food and feed crop!
and gardens twice the usua

We are also convinced tha
conditions justify the heavies

ever known. With the excep
tion of potash, prices of fertil
izers have not advanced SC

therefore relatively cheaper thar

His statements are said to have

several hundred white men were

gathered strength and the negro
was in imminent danger. Sew.

blow after blow from the brawnv
fists of the railroaders landed in

beaten by the infuriated white
