our teachings Of the past will have to
stand their test.
But let us contend for sane, SEN

out everything good that has come to

not be loud and boistrous, but so help
us God, let it be sincere and whole

You Bought a Bond-Buy a Bed.

Disease is the best marksman on
the battlefield. War is a venimous
pest, infested with germs and creep
ing horrors Typhus, typhoid tetanus
and tuberculosis are the eaters of
armies.
Proper medical facilities double
the effectiveness of any military
force. Every hundred dollars con-
tributed to the Red Cross preserves
a life or keeps soldier in active ser
vice. If you can't afford to give that
much, you can be one of ten to con-
tribute ten apiece. The golden scapel
must be as mighty as the golden
sword. Your duty to your country
does not end with the buying of a
bond. Now buy a bed for war hos
pital.-Herbert Hoffman.

there is opposition in some quarters
to this present war With all the
German element threading our pop
ulation, the surprise would be if the
sentiment was all favorable. But it
is a noteworthy fact, borne out by
history, that the side of the gov
eminent has always triumphed. And
it will be the same in the present
conflict; we will help to win in the
actual war in France, and also we
will win in public sentiment when
there is fuller comprehension Of
the motives behind the big gurs
that are roaring day ard night on
the Vimy ridges.

CATTLE
FOR LARGE AREAS

Have you enough cattle to make
use of all the cheap forage that is
being produced on your farm this
year?
Are you planning to take care of
your corn slower and straw stacks
as you have never done before? If
not, why not?
There is scarcity of beef and
prices are high and likely to be high
er. If you do not make use Of all
of your cheap feeds this year, the
reason will most likely be because
you haven't enough cattle.
Did you know that on account of
a very serious drouth in Texas and
the Southwest, there is going to be
a heavy movement of high-grade beef
heifers and cows from out of that
country to the slaughter pens, if they
cannot be saved for breeding purpos-
es? They are going at beef prices |;
yet for beef production purposes
they are quite as valuable as pure
breds. They have been graded up
for the past Is years with registered
Hereford and Shorthorn bulls until
they are practically pure-breds.
Yearlings weighing from 500 to
800 pounds, in fair to good condi-
ton, will cost from $40 to $50.
Two-year-olds, weighing from 700 to
1000 pounds, in fair to good condi-
ton, will cost from $50 to $50.
Cows not over six years old, weigh
ing from 700 to about 1, 900 pounds,
in fair to good condition, will cost
from $50 to 500. The freight cost
will be about $40 per head in car
lots.
There is no other expense in con-
nection with buying, as the United
States department of agriculture will
have a number of men in the Texas
field to inspect and select cattle to
fill any orders that may be sent in.
These cattle will come from tick-free
areas, or will be dipped under gov
eminent supervision before being
shipped.
1t is not advisable to buy these
cattle in small lots to be kept on
restricted areas, for they are not used
to confinement, but if you could han
die carload or more and would like
to know more about the proposition,
write to the Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Also report the names of any owners
of large tracts Of grazing lands in
your county who might be interes-
| ted.

pages of Revolutionary history TEEN
with stories of loyalists who held the
assassin's knife ever ready for the
patriot leaders. The war Of 1872
found a divided public opinion. The
republicans, headed by Madison,
earnestly in favor of Furnishing Eng
land for the searching of our ships
and the impressing of our sailors,
while the opposing political party,
the federalists, as bitterly opposed
it.
When Texas wished to come into
our Union and Mexican war cloud
darkened far to the south, New Eng
land and the north generally famed
with opposition. Texas was to be a
slave state, and here was the milk
in the cocoanut of opposition. Again
the question of war entered into
politics, and Jas. K. Polk was chosen
by the democrats and Texas was IA
vorably answered, and the war with
Mexico followed, in direct opposition
to the sentiments of many people.
The civil war proposition called
forth many protests from Union
lists" at the South and Copper
heads" in the North and West. Any
gray-haired man of today can per-
sonally recall incidents involving
these directors on both sides of the
line.
The Spanish-American war evoked
much strong opposition, which re-
ally did not die out until Manila bay
was in Dewey's hands and Cervera's
splendid war ships were wrecks along
the Santiago harbor coast.

WAR SENTIMENT

All things considered--increased
population, more foreign elements,
divided interests and other matters
there is, perhaps, more united senti-
ment throughout the country con-
corning this war than any war the
United States has fought.
We hear, of course, many grum-
blers; "Wall Street war;" "a rich
mans war and poor mans fight,
and such criticisms. But the grun1-
blers are few compared to those who
see in it battle for the future lib
erty of the world. Gradually, as the
German plan is revealed, it becomes
apparent that we were in the scheme
of peonage which William had map
ned out for the worldwide dominance
Of his race"Paris by Christmas"
London by Easeter," Washington
in three years." So ran the scheme
as he evolved it in his lnordlnate am
bition.
And so the war becomes our war
as well as the war Of England and
France. 1t would have been crimi-
nal to our liberties had we sat and
waited the "three years" for the
coming of the foe. Greater economy
of life and money and wider grasp
of humanitarianism was evidenced
for US to go out to the Hidenburg
line and help crush the Hun in his
initial effort. That is why we are
bearing our part in this bloodiest Of
conflicts.
In no war has this country been
entirely united in sentiment The

So short are the food stocks in En-
rope that If the war were to end this
summer it would be a year or more
before the shortage could be made up
and conditions brought back to those
where demands for American food
supplies were normal. In other words,
the farmers and food producers of the
United States, so far as can be dis
cerned here, may reasonably expect
heavy demands for foodstuffs for ex-
port this year. whether the war goes
on or not. They may expect it next
year even if peace comes. And if the
war goes on indefinitely there will be
a demand for more than this country
can produce Farm and Fireside.
