Because of the foregoing
many people are over impress

SAINT to hear from John Bar
rett, formerly of Oregon, who
has returned from a stay at the
front. Mr.. Barrett points out
some facts that relieve the
black picture that exists in
many minds. He said:

men at the sO-CaIled front are at one

president earnestly desired
peace and was willing to show
great patience toward such an
end but he was as eager for the
country to fight when the oc-
Casion really demanded as he
was eager to keep out of war
when such a course was COM

1t seems inconceivable that
the Germans really misunder-
stood Wilson and the Ameri-

explanation of the ruthless
submarine policy is that it was
the only chance left and the
kaiser took it in a hope of win

GEN. WOOD COMPLI-
MENTS THE SOUTH

Gen. Leonard Wood made the fol-
lowing statement recently in Wash
ington:
"The people of the South know
what the war means. The older ele-
ments Of the population have seen
hostile army in their own land. The
people generally are Of the old stock,
patriotic and anxious to do anything
they can to safeguard the physical
and moral welfare Of the men and to
to aid in everyway for oversee service.
The New England and other troops
when they arrive there to begin their
training will find that climatic con-
ditions in the fall and early winter
are almost ideal. The summers on the
whole are as good as the summers in
the inland section of the North, sun
strokes are practically unknown, and
throughout the winter there is hardly
day when the men cannot do full
day s work in the open. So far from
there being any anxiety there should
be, it seems to me, much satisfaction
guarding the surroundings in which
the New England troops will be
trained. A hearty welcome awaits
ren, and they will be given every OPP
portunity to get into shape for the
great struggle ahead. This means
months of the most intensive training.
Conditions in the South are such
that as the work goes on and increm-
ent after increment is called into
training, it will become more and
more apparent that the South is the
section in which to train troops. Our
training must be such that we can
send over constant output, month
after month, without interruption, of
well trained men to make up the losses
which are bound to be ours once we
are fairly well into the war. This
can only be done by having our train
ing camps in that section Of the cOun-
| try where the work can be carried on
throughout the year, both winter and
summer
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-08-16
FINANCING THE WAR

The United States is financing itself
in this war by loans and taxes. 1t
obtains funds from the people, some
by taxation and some by the sale of
bonds, and then it goes into the mar
kets and buys from the people what
it needs. The people supply The gov
eminent with money and the govern
ment with this money buys from the
people what it needs for the war.
There are three sources from which
the United States can draw the ST.
news of war. First is the fixed prop
erty of the nation. This represents
our farms, factories, mines, railways
and all other property, including ac-
cumulated savings. From the cor
pus or body of none Of these, except
the accumulated savings, will the gov
eminent obtain war funds, and even
from the accumulated savings it will
draw a relatively small portion.
These accumulated savings are in
vested in industries and business
which are necessary to the country S
welfare and prosperity, and it is
only that portion of these savings
which are seeking investment that
the government will receive in ex-
change for bonds.
The second and the greatest source
from which the government is to de-
rive it's war fund is the wealth pro-
duced during the war. Part of this
it will obtain by taxation and part
in exchange for bonds. The annual
production of the United States, from
its farms, mines, factories and other
sources, amounts to fifty billion dol
lars year and out of this fifty billion
dollars will come the funds, part from
taxes and part from the sale of bonds,
with which the United States will
finance itself during this war.
By taxation this generation will
pay its portion Of the cost of the
war. By this sale of bonds the next
generation is called upon to pay its
portion and this portion will be paid
from the wealth production after the
war.
By this method the capital of the
country, its sources of income and
wealth, are unimpaired II is only
the yearly increment Of this property
that is called upon to bear a portion
Of the cost of the war Thus despite
the waste of war and the destruction
of property involved the country may
| emerge from the conflict stronger
financially, more efficient and even
weather. than before. What the gov
eminent receives it receives from the
j people without impairing the sources
of wealth of the country, and passes
it back to the people in exchange
for the productions of the country
| It is in way only shifting Of
i credits.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-08-16

No money is made by keeping a
lot of young cockerels and feeding
high-priced feed to them after they
reach marketable age.
The preferable weight at which to
dispose of them is when weighing
two to two and one-half pounds each.
Anystunted or poorly developed pull
lets should be marketd at the same
time as we'll as hens over two years
old. Get the flock into working
shape. Keep every hen and pullet
of any promose, and 5nl three or

Then, withproper housing, feeding
and management, the poultry will be-
