LACK OF TOBACCO
MAKES SOLDIERS
DISCONTINUED
General Pershing Declares
Weed Has Soothing Effect
on Mems Nerves

IA diseontented Army is an lnefflci-
ent one," stated General Pershing
in a recent interview, and then much
to the magazine writer's surprise,
General "Jack' asserted that discon-
tent might be due to poor food, poor
clothing or-lack of tobacco. There
Is nothing odd on novel about this.
Way back In the story days of the
Duke of Marlborough, whose SOL
diers swore so terribly in Flanders,
1t rained all the time. That was bad
enough but they could not get so
much as a pinchs of tobacco to the
camp and this was ascribed as the
principal reason for the irritation.
Lucky for our fighting men in
Flanders and wherever they are sta
toned they can be reached with a
plentiful supply OF smoking tobacco
and cigarets. This Is n banner year
for growers of the soothing weed.
The Turkish tobacco for the Yankees
clgarets comes mostly from that re-
liable old state, Virginia, and ripping
good tobacco 1t is. And the cigars,
too, are all completely domestic. The
so-called Havana wrapper is grown
now in New England in almost
miraculous fashion. The tropics have
been showed northward twenty odd
degrees. This device of artificial
growing OF fine tobacco was discoV-
cred recently IN New England. Un-
der cheesecloth tent the tobacco
plants. started In boxes of moist
earth and transferred to tho tent
when q few days old, develop at an
astonishing rate, The cheesecloth al
fords shade beneath which Havana
tobacco fiourishes best and at the
same time admits adequate sunshine.
Thousands of these cigars. consider
ed superior TO the Havana by many
experts, are being shipped abroad to
the soldier boys. In addition, the
call is continuous for smoking to-
bacco. The pipe is the Sammie's so
lace in time of hardship. Your con-
tribution, which may be sent to the
Telegraph and from there promptly
forwarded, may treat some brave lad
risking his life for your happiness to
the redolent American-H Havana cigar
to the tasteful cigaret or to the COM
forting pipe. Let your generosity
bubble in this merry Christmas sea-
son, and forget yourself for mo-
ment while YOU mediate on the
American soldier in the trenches
honest and in mortal danger.

been received by the Telegraph to

allied council 1t was again proposed

AS far as he could gauge, public
opinion in America would have pre-.

Special to the Independent.
Nashvillef Tenn, November 6,l9l7.
Hon John A. McIlhenny. President
of the Civil-Service Commission,
Washington, D. c., recently wrote to
Draughon's College. Nashville, urging
that College to help the United States
Government to secure more stenog-
raphers, both men and women, the
Government now being in need of
ten thousand stenographers and many
book-keepers, at salaries ranging from
one thousand dollars to twelve hun
dred dollars to begin on.
In this letter, Mr.. McIlhenny urges
young men and young women who
are not trained for Government Office
positions to begin now to take the
necessary training, as the prospect is
that the demand will continue indeh-
nitely.
Draughon's Nashville College is
now receiving from business men
more than one hundred calls month
for bookkeepers and stenographers.
To show it's patriotism. Draughon's
Nashville College is offering special
terms to all who desire to prepare,
a college or by mail, for these good
positions.

LAND TITLES
MADE SIMPLE
New State Law Will Help Farm.
ers Greatly in the Conduct
of Their Business
The TORREAS LAND SYSTEM
Expense of Transferring Land Is Les
sened BY the New Plan; Ease With
Which Farm Business May Be Con
Quoted Is Increased.

No legal or economic principle is Of
more moment than the system of land
registration known as the Torrens
Land System, which was passed by
the last legislature. 1t interests every
owner of property without exception,
every lawyer, every financier, who
may soon see real estate become an
asset as liquid as other factors of
wealth upon which banks are expect
ed to loan funds.
Eleven states besides Tennessee
have already adopted this system, and
it has proved to be of increasing ben.
eft to the owners Of property and OF
homes. Now that the Tennessee leg.
islature has passed the Torrens Law,
a knowledge of the conditions sur
rounding the ToIrens principle is Of
vital interest to every holder of real
estate in Tennessee.
Under the old system, If one goes
to the office of the clerk to look up
the claim of title to piece of prop.
erty it is necessary for him to search
thru the pages of many books to
accomplish the task.
1t is much better, as in the Torrens
| System, for the records for each piece
of land to be kept together so that they
can be found without delay and con.
fusion. That is the way merchant
or business man keeps an account. II
is all put down on page. You don't
have to go back over many pages in
many books, hunting for a little here
and little there to make up the &C,
count.
The Torrens System OF land regis.
tration records the transactions In
this way:
The entire record Is on one page. or
on successive pages. When you wish
to trade in lands it is not necessary to
pay big sum for an abstract of title
You have the abstract right up to date
at all times. The new Federal Farm
Loan Banks have announced that they
would accept Torrens title as valid
One may have the title written up un.
der the Torrens Law when he goes to
borrow money from National Farm
Loan Association.
This will save much of the addition
al expense for changing title to the
Torrens System of registration.
Under the Torrens System there are
large benefits accruing to the land
owner. By reason Of the guarantee
of title, the owner is protected against
adverse claims. Another advantage
is the simplification of future dealings
with the land. Sale merely requires
the cancellation of the old and issu.
ance of a new certificate of title. This
demands practically no time, virtual.
ly no expense and eliminates the long
and legal processes involved in the
usual transfers Of land titles.--C. e.

sity of Tennessee. Knoxville.

Due to the fact that Congress is
expected to increase the enlisted per-
sonnet of the Navy by $4,000 mer
whea it convenes in December, it is
Urgently Requested that you give
publicity to the fact that men who
have registered for selective draft
can enlist in the Navy if they SO de-
sire any time before they have been
ordered to appear before the local ex-
emption Board for the physical exam
nation.
Men who enlist in the Navy now
will have the advantage of promotion
over the men who enlist after the
enlargement of the Navy.
Machinists. fremen and apprentice
seamen and colored cooks and walters
are especially desired. and men en-
listing in the Navy now are assured
Of active service at once.
Men living at a distance from a
Recruiting Station can apply to their
local Postmaster for an examination
certificate. and if he will be exam
ined by local physician and forward
the certificate to the Navy Recruit
ing Station, Nashville, Tenn. where il
will be examined and proper papers
made out, and If the man is fit for
enlistment his transportation to a
Recruiting Station will be furnished
Thanking you for any publicity you
are able to give the Navy, am,
Yours very truly.

IN RECORDING THE COST
CONSIDER MARKET VALUES

There are two ways of studying a
farm business. One is to determine
the profitableness of the farm as a
whole. The other is to determine the
profitableness of the different enter
prises that make up the farm.
Persocs whc are not familiar with
the principles involved in accounting
often confuse these two. There is no
use in pretending to study the costs
C single enterprise IL this enter
prise is confused with the profits and
losses of each of the other enter
prises on the farm. If one wishes to
dc this sort of work he should study
the farm as a whole and determine
its labor income.
II he wishes to determine the cost
of milk he must charge hay and grain
at what these products are worth. Hay
and grain are finished products ready
for the market, just as much as is
milk. II a farm raised hay at cost
of $40 a ton and If this hay Is worth
only So on the market but is charged
to cows at $50, the COW account might

OF COURSE, SUCH A MAN
IS A BUSINESS MAN

Suppose farmer has a neat office
In one room Of his home where he has
desk in which he keeps his business
books and papers.
Suppose he has book or ledger in
which he keeps careful account
with his stock and crops, and tables
to show what he owes, what is coming
to him, and what he spends and makes
each year.
Suppose he uses his newspapers and
telephone to find out market prices of
farm products and has something to
sell almost every week
Suppose he goes to his Office on
Saturday afternoon, finds in his note
book what he needs from the store,
and goes to town, buys some things,
puts some money in the bank, at
tends a meeting Of committee Of
the Farmers Club, sees the County
Agricultural Agent about some future
plans, and comes back home and
locks up his desk for Sunday.
Isn't he business man?-C. E.

snow a loss even though cows could
pay $12 ton for hay and make prof.
1t The conclusion would be to go out
OF the COW business, whereas a logi-
cal system of accounting would show
the trouble to be with the hay and
not with the dairy business.
Conversely, II hay costs So ton
but is worth $40 on the market, and II
the cows were able to pay $l2 for this
hay, and If hay is charged at cost, the
cows might show very fine profit
which would lead one to greatly in.
crease the dairy and buy $50 hay to
feed them, whereas an accurate sys
tenn of accounting would show the
profits to be on the hay.-C. E. Alfred,

COMMUNITY TO
BUY GOOD BULL
This, Says Livestock Specialist,
is Best Way to Get Better
Cattle in Most Places
ALL PEOPLE ACT TOGETHER
Cooperation In This Kind of Work Is
the Only Way to Get Results, and
Results This Way Come With the
Least Expense.

Everybody is talking better live
stock, but after all the talking is over
1t is not much clearer to the average
farmer how he is to get any better
livestock than 1t was before He Is
convinced that he needs better live
stock, but a first-class bull costs
too much for him. 1t is not econom-
ical for single farmer in a commu-
nifty to buy a high-priced bull to use
in the improvement of his own herd Of
perhaps half dozen animals, and
when such person becomes in
spired with sufficient ambition to
make purchase, his efforts are sci.
dom backed up by enthusiasm and ap.
probation from his neighbors. The
valuable animal after very meager
service extending over space Of
about three years, is sent away to be
slaughtered, even before his true
value is known.
The only economical solution Of this
difficulty is to be found in the pur-
chase of community bull in which
the entire farming community will be
interested and to which all of the
breeding animals of the community
will have access. A first-class bull is
so secured at small cost to any indi.
vi6ual and the plan gives the bull a
much greater field of usefulness The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
Individual in q NH nil 10 ror al
well enough patronized to justify his
maintenance, mainly because there is
not the community interest back of
him. On the other hand, the bull in
which the whole community is inter-
ested is given an opportunity to i'm
prove Immediately the type of cattle
owned, granting that he is the individ-
ual he ought to be. The first crop of
calves following his appearance in the
community will carry fifty per cent

community into which a Poll Durham
bull was introduced a few years ago.
The first year he was not strongly ia.
vored, but just as soon as his first
SiOp VI SuiNCc uC6dH tHClI
superiority, he became very popular
and since that time has not lacked ap.
probation. Today the entire beef cat.
tie population of the community re-
fleets his influence.
The buying of one thoro, first
class bull of the breed that the com.
munity likes best, will mean more for
the immediate improvement of the
! cattle of the community at less ex.
pense and will stimulate greater in.
terest in better livestock than any
other one thing.-R. M. Murphy, Divi-
