der constraint that which shoul'
, have been done under fixed and de
, termined policy. This is cause AMI
effect. Time has permitted the al
, lies to gather strength in their fight
ing forces, and the Germans freely
admit and concede that the allies
with their combined forces far out
point them in men, equipment and
munitions. This is no secret. Why
then don't the allies wage greater
battles and force from captured sol
the hated invader? Are they wait
ing for the good old u S. A. to step
in and start the ball to rolling? And
when she does there will be some
thing doing. This is cause and eff
feet.
The cost of this war is enormous,
but the debt can be paid so far as
money is concerned. But life con-
stantly sacrificed by foolish assaults
upon the enemy cannot be restored.
It is said that a centipede encir-
cled by fire will sting itself to death.
The central powers are hemmed in
and time will force them to COM
plete recognition of their inability to
escape. Will they apply the sting?
Time would be the greatest ally of
all if it should bring about such an
end to the war.
The kaiser at first did not take
the United States very seriously in
the declaration of war, but he did
not know his uncle, for as a matter
of fact he has discovered that we
can and will furnish and equip L.
100000 men at once and now that
spectre has gone back and the kaiser
is aware that we can MANUFACTURED
any number of the British type oil
rifles which could be easily RECLAIM
bered for American ammunition, so
he got that idea knocked out of his
head. This is cause and effect.
About the same time it was said

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
wv. H. DUGDALE.

The war which has cost so many
millions of lives and such enormous
expenditure of money, might have
been over a year or more ago with
the allies the victors had they crap
pied with the situation in Greece at
the right time. They let the Oppor-
tunity 20 by and they are now pay
ing the penalty for their indiscre
ton. This is cause and effect.
The whole situation is made clear
in a speech recently made by Veni-
zelos, the uncrowned King of Greece,
who is admitted to be one of the
ablest statesmen in Europe, and his
opinion is worth considerable in
America. We really know but little
of the real state of affairs as they
exist in Europe. The interests are
so large and varied, the territory so
unfamiliar to us, hence we have
only small conception of the mag
nitude of the war as a whole. 1t will
require no stretch of the magma
ton to conceive of the whole world
at war, but it is a different matter
to realize to its full extent its de-
vastating influence and the shattered
hopes of the millions of people who
will directly and indirectly be affect
ed. The selfish greed for gain and
power was the cause, and the meal
loss of life and money is the
effect.
Let us take conditions as they are
now at another angle. The United
States is doing now what should

WOMEN'S DAY AT THE FAIR.
They Will Have Complete Control on
Wednesday and Will Dedicate Their
BniIding.

The most important day of the
State Fair this year will be Wednes-
day. and the important event will be
the dedication of the woman's build
ing on that day.
The new building has cost $4,000.
1t was built by the efforts of the wo-
men. It will be dedicated by the
women.
AT a recent meeting in Raleigh of
Representatives from the various or
CARNATIONS of women the State Fair
management turned over to the wo-
men the complete control of the ex-
ercises, and it is safe to say that
the day will be the most significant
date in the whole movement in the
State for the advancement of wo-
men. Miss jeanette Rankin, Mon

Tax Commissioners Here

Hon. A. 0. Luckett, member
of the State Tax Commission
from the Northern District, met
with members of the board of
supervisors and number of cit
izens at the court house Monday
for the purpose of discussing
with them practical measures for
securing an equitable adjustment
and equalization of tax values
on real and personal property.
The discussion of the subject
brought out information which
the commissioner will submit to
to the full board at their next
regular meeting.
Mr.. Luckett inquired particu-
larly into land values in the
county for the purpose of gain
ing information by which the
county could be classed when the
board finally goes to work on ad-
justments of values in the sew
eral counties. This information
was freely furnished by the
board and the chancery clerk and
citizens and with it the tax COM
mission will be able to form
comprehensive idea as to values
and conditions in the county.
1t is now evident. since the
statute creating the commission
has been held constitutional by
the supreme court. that the COM
mission will have power to ad-
just many inequalities which
have so long existed in the state.
There are twenty-four counties
that draw more money out of
the state treasury than thev pay
into it and with this condition of
affairs the commission will labor
to bring about a more equitable
distribution of the burdens of
the state government.

Profit in Hogs

One Of the best illustrations
that hogs can be made the most
profitable product of the farm is
forcefully illustrated in the ex-
perience of Mr.. F. F. Filgo,
member of the board of super
visors from this district, who
purchased a Hampshire sow at
the State Fair at Jackson in the
fall of 1915. On March %, 1916.
the sow brought ten pigs, Sep
tember Is sixteen pigs, and
March 20, 1917. fourteen pigs.
making a total of 40 pigs for the
year. The value of the pigs at
weaving time could not have
been less than 500 each, making
total for the year of $500 had
Mr.. Filgo put them on the market
at that age. He has not done
this, however. but will get better
prices for them when they are
in greater demand as mature
breeders.
The Hampshire is one of the
most prolific of the high class
breed hogs and is growing more
popular all the time as it's good
qualities are brought before
breeders of registered hogs. It
has the length, weight and
breeding qualities and is healthy
and thrifty. Mr.. Fileo believes
that he has made the best selec-
tion Of breeds and is enthusiastic
in his endorsement of the Hamp-
shire.

Frisco to Lease Risht-of-Way
to Truck Gardeners

It has been announced by Mr..
E. D. Levy. first ce-president
and general manager of the
Frisco Railroad, that the railroad
will enter the fight against the
high cost of living by permitting
its right-of-way to be used for
gardens. As the Frisco is 1884
miles long. it will provide thous-
ands of acres for increasing the
garden area. The Frisco is the
first big concern to turn over its
right-of-way for garden plots
and the first railroad to admit
the public to their ways.
. There is plenty Of space be-
tween the tracks and fences on
each side of the right-of- way for
extensive gardens where rad
lshes, cabbage, peas, beans. po-
tatoes and other vegetables can
be raised. The high price of
vegetables and the hardships of
the consumer has, for the time
being, turned the railroad away
from its plans to plant flowers
on its right -of-way. Instead of
peonies and lilies the less attrac-
tive but more necessary beans,
cabbage and potatoes will be
planted. The garden plots along
the right-of-way will not be let
to employees only. but will be
released to any responsible per-
son. The plots will practically
be let out free, but to make the
action legal the railroad will
lease the sites for some nominal
sum, about one dollar for a year.
Applications can be made to the
nearest station agent.

Lost His Hand

Monday afternoon Rev. Lum
Parchman, colored, was the un-
fortunate victim of an accident
which cost him his hand while
directing the work of replacing
the steel bridge across the Town
Creek canal on the Tupelo and
Fulton road. The entire weight
came down on his hand and it
was necessary to jack up the
bridge before his hand could be
removed. Parchman directed
those present how to raise the
bridge and displayed remarkable
fortitude during his painful ex-
perlence. He was brought to
the city. and that same evening
his hand was amputated at the
wrist by Drs. Feemster, Ander-
son and IOOmer.
Lum Parchman, in addition to
being minister, is~a house NOV
er. He has been engaged in this
business many years and no job
ever gets too big for him. When
It became necessary for the coun-
ty to have the bridge removed
in order that the dredge boat
that is enlarging the canal might
pass through. a contract was let
by the county, but the contractor
finding the task difficult one
sublet the job to Lum. The
bridge was removed and the boat
passed through, and while re-
placing it Lum lost his hand.
The shock was a great one, but
hia prospects for recovery are
good.

Naval Recruiting Station Here

The United States Government
has opened q recruiting station
in the basement of the post office
for recruits for the navy with
Chief Yeoman w. B. Hancock
and Chief Quartermaster E. N.
Varnado in charge. These rep
resentatives Of the navy are
touring the state, making the
principal points where they enlist
an average of from four to ten
at each place. Laurel heads the
list of enlistments with twenty
nine.
The enlisted men are permitted
to select their department of ed
ucation and service. The de-
partments are machinery, elec-
tricity. pharmacy, general office
men and a number of other de-
partments wherein the recruits
are trained. The first thing that
is done with a recruit is to edu-
cate him in some particular line.
The system is thorough and
ample and Young men who have
served their term of enlistment
and receive their discharge are
well equipped in their special
line of endeavor. In noldepart-
ment of the Governments serv-
ice is the matter of education
given such attention and promi-
nence as in the navy. Every
man in the navy is required to
devate two hours daily in educa-
tional work until he reaches 40
years of age. This instruction
is both at shore stations and on
vessels. The subjects include
war tactics, maneuvers and all
subjects that pertain to the edu-
cation of a sailor. The officers
lecture on these subjects.
Under a recent act of Congress
the navy has been increased to
$1,000 men. Since the passage
of the act about $500 have en-
listed, and since the call by the
navy department for recruits the
number is being added to very
rapidly.

ism and follow them with their
