CORN CROP SAFE FROM FROST
!" e.. - !.
DESPITE, LATENEsS OF. SEASON
GRAIN Is BEYOND DANGER.
Record Breaking Yield 10 Too Far
Advanced To Be Harmed When
First Frost Comes,

Washington, Aug. 23.-Most Of tho
record breaking corn crop will be past
the point where frost can damage it
at the average date of the first kill
ing frost. in spite of the fact that the
crop is from 10 to Is, and in some
places even 80, days later than the
average at this season of the year in
central and northern districts.
Reports to the weather bureau yes
terday brought this information as
we'll as good news from Kansas, where
the last forecast Of the Department of
Agriculture indicated the production
would be only half that indicated a
month previously. The Kansas crop
the reports said, was recovering from
the effect of the previous drouth to a
surprising extent, due to recent rains.
:. Warm Weather Helps Crops. -,
Warmer weather was decidedly fay
orable for corn in all central and east
ern sections during the last week, but
lack of rainfall was being felt from
Iowa eastward.
Harvesting of winter wheat was
nearly completed last week and yields
continued good. Ploughing for the
next winter wheat crop is progressing
under very favorable conditions of the
soil in the southwest but the ground IL
somewhat too dry in the northeast.
Spring wheat and other grain har-
resting is making satisfactory progress
In most northern sections of the coun.
Try. It is yielding better in North Dac
kota and Montana than was expected.

and he has shown himself alert, act
i've and progressive during his tenure
in office, ever ready to safeguard the
interests of the county, and fill the du-
ties Of his office to the letter of the law
and to the satisfaction of the court
and the people of his county.
We believe he would bring to the
Office of attorney general legal attain
ments measuring fully up to the STAN
dard of those required in said office and
from our experience with him, would
enforce the law fairly, impartially,
and to the credit Of the office, the
state and the judicial district, and that
his conduct of said office would at all
times be on the plane of the most
searching honesty and. integrity, which
are among the imbedded elements of
his character.
He has had experience as a general
practitioner of law, covering many
years, and has often, in addition to
his many other official duties, filled the
place of attorney general with salts
faction and credit to himself and to
the Office. We feel and know that he
could and would fill said office in such
thereof, if elected, and ask that Crock
EFT county be allawed the honor and
privilege Of furnishing the attorney
general at the next eleetion-as this
is an honor that has always in the past
gone to the other counties of the dis
trict.
Therefore, Be it resolved, that this
court go on record as unanimously in
uorsing the candidacy of Mr.. Sherrod
nd office of attorney general of
Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.
That we, as a court, commend him
to the voters of our sister counties,
and bespeak fir him the most earnest
support of the voters throughout the
circuit.
That copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this court,
copy furnished Mr.. Sherrod and cop
les furnished our county papers thru
out the circuit.

FROM ALLEN STATION

The weather is delightful and every
farmer is as busy as a bee in a tar
bucket, preparing land and planting
corn, While there are a few who
stick to the cotton proposition as the
main crop, believe this community
will raise plenty Of foodstuff and to
spare. That is, if we have the sea-
sons to make it. Preparedness is the
slogan now that we are really at war.
Yesterday Sunday was a real busy
day at Allen. We had splendid atten-
dance at Sunday school. Immediately
after Sunday school the Allen church
sat in called conference and extended
unanimous call to Rev. j. ]. Under
wood, of Martin, Tenn, as pastor of
this church. Rev. Underwood is ex-
pected to accept this call and every
body is invited to come to hear him
the first Sunday in May at eleven
o'clock a. m. After conference adj
journed, it having been previously
announced that Messrs. w. S. Lea and
Joe 7. Mann of Brownsville would
address the people of Allen on the
subject of preparedness in the way of
the south raising more foodstuff, the
crowd reasembled in the church. Mr.
Lea made quite an interesting talk.
He started off by saying that he was
no orator and could not make speech
but it had always fallen to his lot to
have to hold the bag when out snipe
hunting. However, he "kinder" outdid
himself and gave his old neighbors
surprise and showed just what Hay
wood county was doing in the way of
raising foodstuffs and admonished his
hearers to redouble their energies
along this line or somebody might have
to go hungry, or go bankrupt. Mr..
Lea's speech was well received and
highly complimented At the close of
Mr.. LEAFS speech, Mr.. Mann was call
ed, but failed to respond. He claimed
that Sell Lea had stolen his ammuni-
ton. Don't know how this was, but
if they make another trip to Allen,
Joe may look out. It's either speech
or humping.
Miss Fannie Kate James of Paris,
Tenno visited homefolks Saturday
and Sunday, returning to Paris Sun
day afternoon.
Since the roads have begun to dry
out, log hauling has been resumed, and
the haulers are beginning to pile up
log on the yard here. Timber was
said to be almost gone in this section
twenty years ago, but they continue
to haul logs, and by the way, they are
hauling some fine timber.

A NOBLE CALLING

We believe that there is no ncbler
calling than that of the teacher, and
we do not mean especially the advanc-
ed teacher, the learned professor with
his trailing degrees. We mean, above
all, the thousands Of women all over
this broad country who are teaching
millions Of little children the essence
Of life. These women, with their hum
Bile, constant, patient, ill-rewarded in
dustry, are making the future of this
nation and the future of the world.
1t depends upon them primarily wheth-
er democracy shall work out to slow.
enduring triumph or to gigantic disas-
ter.
They are conscious Of the vastness
of their task and try to perform it
worthily. No doubt many Of them are
careless and negligent and think main
ly Of themselves; but the great mass
labor tirelessly and with daily prayers
that they may put into these children's
hearts some little seed that will 90
on and prosper to the glory of God.
What the difficulties no one knows
who has not closely watched the effort.
The children are so often unresponsive
and Maynard and intractable and cas-
lily misled, rarely if ever appreciative
of the care and love bestowed upon
them. The parents are seldom thought
tul to praise, and are often ready to
find fault, convinced that, if Willie
does not do well, anyone but Willie
or themselves to blame.
The reward is meagre in dollars; in
thanks, more meagre still. The teach
er must find it chiefly in the conscious
ness Of having done her best, and that
is consciousness often denied to
those by whom the very best is DONE
Only rarely does one among hundreds
of pupils who come later to look at
their teachers work with love and graf
itude think to tell her of it. But what
a ray Of sunshine that means If you
have prospered in the world and are
happy and successful, ;nd feel that
you owe it very largely to her who
formed your character in school, write

pleasure than you can imagine

STAND BY YOUR COUNTRY.

Now that we have taken the plunge
there is but one thing for loyal cit
izen to do-stand firmly by his coun.
try, whether it be native or adopted
The man who does otherwise is moi
true either to himself or the land that
Shelters. feeds and clothes him.
There were many who honestly
thought we should not go to war with
Germany. But the great majority OF
the American people thought other
wise. So did the president and con-
gress.
Each was clearly entitled to his
opinion until such time as the matter
was definitely settled.
But with war actually in existence,
with our armies hurrying into the field
with our navy making preparations to
sweep the seas, with our young men
rushing to the colors, there can be but
one path for US to tread-that of abso-
lutte loyalty to our country.
Whatever our beliefs may have been
in the past, our country is now at
war, and we must support with our
every drop of blood and our every dol
lar of wealth.
Those who think it will be simply a
bluff at war-merely the assembling of
an army that will drill for a few
months and then go home-will be
woefully mistaken.
The United States has been both
lothe and slow to draw the sword, but
once drawn it viii never be sheathed
until victory is complete and our enc
my is no longer able to do US harm.
Let no man. then, stand around and
sputter about what he thinks the pres
ident and congress should have done.
1t is enough that they have acted. Get
behind him with all the manhood you
can muster. Be unit in whatever ca
pacity you can best serve, whether it
be in the battle line or back at home
in one Of the various lines of service
in government support, but wherever
you are, be that unit of one great
whole-the greatest and grandest gov
eminent on the face Of the earth, bat
ting against the worst foe known to
civilization, a foe that must be COM
pletely conquered before we can again
have peace.

PRODUCE FooDsTUFFs.

Government officials have voiced a
strong plea to the farmers of the
country to raise food stuffs to the linn
it, to the end that we may not be ham,
pered by shortage in food supplies
The manufacturing interests of the
country will supply the vast quanti-
ties Of arms, ammunition and equip
ment needed. These are all in the
making now. But food does not grow
where no seed has been planted, and
without food no army can exist.
Therefore, we ask the people of
this county to arise to the occasion and
produce every ounce of food stuffs that
is within our power.
We may not all serve in the ranks,
but we can demonstrate our loyalty
and our devotion to our country by
needing the plea of the president for
an increased production of food sup
plies.
Let us not have an acre that is not
under cultivation or in pasturage. Let
us not have even a back yard or va
cant lot that is not producing some
thing. Patriotism lies here just as
strongly as it does on the battle line.
