LAST Friday twenty two young men,
Iron county's contingent for that
date, babe adieu to relatives and
friends, and departed for entertainment
In the army Of their country. Who
could look upon them without breath
ing a blessing for them and their
cause-oUR cause, upon whose success
or defeat depends the future welfare
and happiness or woe of our country
and of all We hold near ard dear?
They 90 forth to do battle for all that
makes life worth living. Tears of
home love sanctify them; cursed be
the heart whose blessings do not fol-
low them! In the language Of n con-
temporary chronicling q like depart.
ure: "They are Offering their all to
country and flag. They, with hun
dreds of thousands Of others, are go.
ing to defend America and the rights
OF Americas people. They are going
to fight u foe who has challenged
these rights, on foreign soil. They
will risk the perils Of the sea, where
lark the deadly submarines, in order
that not II foot of American soil will
eve feel the tread of a foreign foe,
that not one American home will be
pillaged ard robbed, that not one
American school, not one American
church, shall be wrecked by an enc
my shell, that not one American
woman will be ravished, not one
American child be run through with
saber, ae were the women and chill
dren Of northern France and Bel
GUM" A holier cause than this that
calls forth the young manhood Of
America never appealed to humanity.
1t is a world wide duel OF the barbaric
hordes Of Might against the hosts Of
Right. The prayer Of every being fit
to have a habitation i'm the United
States will uphold the hands Of our
noble champions.

When war was declared by the
United States Captain Southland at
once became very active in raising a
volunteer company from this county.
So successful was he that this county
was one of the two counties in the
state that was exempted from the draft
in the first call. He was appointed
Captain of the volunteer company d..

Infantry since goiug to Greeneville, S.

But it now seems probable that our
farmers will not come to such reali-
cation of that need as will bring 1t
about until the time comes when pOta-
toes will be drug on the market and
close grading becomes imperative.
That time is not likely to be with Us
while the war lasts.
TO sum the potato situation up in a
few words. along rketing lines. 1t is
very certain that the growers as q
whole are not giving the question OF
cost Of producing and market grading
near the attention that the Importance
OF the crop and wise business methods
demand.
1t Is claimed by one of the largest
potato dealers in Chicago that every
car that comes to Chicago will have
from 20 to 40 bushels OF culls and some
cars as high as $50 bushels. These are
dead waste. Not only that, but it
means that the general level of prices
is kept lower than It would be if the
culls we're not present. II every pota-
to grower would rem ember and act up
on the statement that: There never
was nor never can be enough first
class stuff produced. but that inferior
stuff not only sells slowly but reduces
the price Of prime goods, there would
be much closer grading and results
would be better all around.
LABEL ALL POTATOES.
1t every sack of potatoes that is
shipped from this county bore tag
or label telling where they were grown
1t would prove great source of bene-
fit to this section in the way Of spread
ing y knowledge Of where buyers could

The expense would be small but the
results would be very large. II that
course was followed persistantiy.

MAIN STREET TO Be
MACADAM|zED

lockwood Stag to be spread ~ rect
Wide and 8 Inches Thick from
Old Rink to Comstock Resi-
dencs Immediately.
Last week Mayor A. L. Garrison and
Marshal Sampson DeRossett went to
lockwood and arranged for Is or 80
cars of Stag from the Roane Iron Com
pany furnaces to macadamize Main
street Of Crossville. It will be spread
20 feet wide and 8 inches. thick, start
ing at the old rink and continuing to
the top of the hill at the residence of
Chas. Comstock.
1t is the plan to also macadamize a
short distance on the cross streets so
as to make the approach to Main street
easier. No effort will be mace now to
put IN the concrete guttering, but that
will be done later. When it's done 1t
10 very probable that all sidewalks on
Main street will be built not less than
ten feet wide.
Such course would give our town
sidewalks that would be credit to
much larger places, yet it will leave
all the room necessary for teams and
cars.
FREE WORK.
For long time the question of ma
cadamizing Nam street has been I'M
der discussion. In every instance
there have been many offers of free
hauling OF the material from the cars
to the street. Just now the city finan-
ces are very low and to do the nstded
work that is planned will cost quite
SUM and run the city into debt to a.
considerable extent. Those who have
protfered free hauling in the past will
now nave chance to show how serious
they we're when they offered the tree
service. Nor should the tree work
stop there. Many persons in town
should lend free hand IN handling the
material IN person or furnish hand
for q few days. Those who own cars
should be especially interested and con-
tribute literally.
Nothing has ever been put on foot
in Crossville that means 80 much as
this. The Chronicle has been advocat-
ing 1t for years and has never missed
an opportunity to speak an encourage
ing word for such a movement. All
our people should lend helping hand
in one way or another to the end that
It may be done quickly. for the time is
short for completing the work before
bad weather sets in.
Roans county has used large quanti-
ties of this same material on its roads
and 1t was largely through the advice
If Judge G. Z. Lindsey that the COM
nittee chose the lockwood Stag.
Those who have gone from Crossviile |
% lockwood by car have frequently
spoken in high praise of the splendid
Dad that Roane county has built up

y line. 1t is an excellent road and it
vas made by spreading the iron Stag

BECAUSE of the heavy traffic it will be
