DOING WELL.
The Injured in the Auto Wreck
Last Week Coming On
Nicely.

Word received by Mr.. and
Mrs. William Dayton states that
their daughter, Miss Dorothy,
who was so badly injured in the
auto wreck recen0y, is doing
nicely in the hospital at Nash
vile.
1t develops that while her in
jures were quiteserious they were
not so bad as was feared at first.
Her right arm is badly cut and
bruised, but no bones broken.
The right thigh bone was broken
and the muscles severely LAGER
ated. The doctors have set the
bone, inserted tubes in the flesh
wounds and every indication
points to her finalrecovery. Being
young and in good health was a
great factor in her favor.
Miss Edna Hughes is still at
the home of J. B. Johnson being
cared for and is now able to sit
up. Her injuries not being so
serious as the others, she is ex-
pected to recover rapidly from
now on. -Crossville Chronicle.

TouoUR COMPANY COOK

Dan Cupid! Oh! Dan Cupid!
How long have you been blind:
To pierce with darts,
Some human hearts,
And leave our cook behind.
We've often heard, about that bird
Called Mrs. Newlywed;
Whose salads make
Poor hubby quake
And wish that he was dead.
Tho she can't fry an egg; she'll try
Her hand at angel cake;
That her spouse eats
And then retreats
To cure his stomach ache.
But he can bake pie or cake,
A pudding, soup Or stew
That memory brings
About the things
That mother used to do.
Possesses he faculty
For knowing what we like,
No wonder while
At drill, we smile;
We know, when back we hike,
Wen meet a sight no appetite
Could very well resist.
Girl with a book,
Who cannot cook,
You don't know what you've missed

u. S. Controls rs
Per Cent Food
Hundred Millions Saved To COnsum-
ers Through the Activity OF The
Government.
BY David M. Church
Il. N. S. Staff Correspondent
INA GHINGTOM Cnnt 10 Annr.


WASHINGTON, Sept 19-Approx-
imately seventy-five per cent of the
food supply of America is today under
the control of the United States. Gen
orally it is the fact that the control
has been made voluntarily. The Uni
ted States food administration, by
virtue of its power of licensing food
industries, governs the prices in the
staple food products of the world The
food administration has been in ac-
ton but five weeks and part of that
time it had no official capacity or
power of action In that five weeks
il is estimated that close to $780, 00,-
600 has been saved for the house
holders of the United States. The
first big accomplishment of the food
administration was the control of
wheat prices. This came through vol
UNFAIRLY agreement of elevator own
ers and millers. Elevators and mill
ing plants are now subject to regu-
lations. The price of wheat has been
fixed and estimates today in the
hands of food administration officials
show that millions of dollars are be-
ing saved. Flour has dropped three
dollars a barrel under these regula

the world 1t is like pouring water
from a cup and filling it again with
milk. The cup is always the same
but the contents are changed. In all
outward appearance yet a monarchy,
England yet remains inwardly a
thorough democracy.
The eyes of the world are today
turned upon one of the most astound-
ing movements in history The ascen-
dancy of Russian democracy. What
an establishment to the world, when
Russia, great absolute, mOnarchial
Russia the ideal of despotism, sud-
denly threw off the cloak of abso-
lutte rule, and revealed what must
have been for years the true senti-
ment of her people. How carefully
the plans must have been layed; how
strong must have been the feeling
against the monarchy, and for iber-
ty; for how suddenly, and absolutely,
was the autOcratic government shak-
en- off.
Perhaps it would not have been 50
well for Russia, had not a Kerensky
risen to champion her in her freedom,
to be her council, her guide, her very
pulse and brains, in the establish
ment of the new ritual.
sian situation has been most discOur-
aging and doubtful. But the world is
once more at ease, believing that the
elements are now entirely under con-
troll More than at any time since
the break with the monarchial gov
eminent, the leaders have come out
absolutely with the people. The bril-
liancy with which Kerensky has sue
ceeded in uniting conservatives, mod
crates, and radicals is a most en-
couraging feature.
The progress of democratic gov
eminent both where it has been for
some time established and where 1t
is continually establishing itself in
place of absolutism, stands out be-
fore the thinking world as the great
est argument of it's absolute ascen-
dancy over all other forms of govern
ment in the very near future. The
manner in which democratic nations
are uniting against autocracy, the at
titude that is being assumed, the de-
termination to eliminate all forms OF
despotic aggression and oppression
are evidence of the near death of al
autocratic governments, and of the
resurrection of the hopes of the world
| for human freedom. The end of mar
! rule ana dmDlJlOn Is very near Nc
doubt those, like the kaiser, and his
friends, are trembling when they
pause to look upon the situation il
its true light.
The present situation of democrac,
in the world, is not in the least ques
tionable While it's program is fai
from being perfected, its ascendanc,
over autocracy; its very victory il
absolutely established. Not man.
years shall pass away until it will b.
the true government of all the ma
tions of the world. In different form
no doubt, but democracy just tn
same, pure, simple, and cherished

Bond Bill Agreed
to by Conferees
Complete Understanding Arrived Al
BY Representatives OF Both Houses
OF Congress.
q. N. S. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-The con-
ferees on the $11, 100000 bond bill
reached a complete agreement after
half an hours session today. The
report will be submitted to the SEN
ate tomorrow and to the house Fri
day for final ratification.
The LaFollette amendment specifi-
cally limiting the interest on the war
savings certificates to four per cent
was stricken out by the conferees. A
compromise was reached on the
amount to be spent on marketing the
bonds and certificates; one-fifth of
one per cent will be spent in market
ing the bonds and war savings GER
tificates and one tenth of one per-
cent will be spent in marketing the
certificates of Indebtedness.
The deficiency bill passed in Wash
ington September IS carried appro-
priations aggregating $4,S30, 100000
with authorization for the govern
ment to enter into contracts amount
ing to $2,342,000,000. The money for
the military establishment provided
in the bill amounted to $3,547, 1885.
The house adopted amendments per-
hitting the authorization of contracts
for 100000 100000 for ordnance and
ordnance supplies. The bill now goes
10 the senate, where it will be taken
up Thursday.

Sparrow introduced for Purpose.

The sparrow was introduced into the
United States for a specific purpose.
He was expected to destroy certain
noxious insects, especially the larvae
Of moths, some of them native, others
like the sparrow himself mistakenly
imported. The native kinds were nuis-
ances in city parks and shaded city
streets. Native birds, which now un-
der protection are common city dwell
lers, would probably have come to do
every service the sparrow did; but it
does not require very old resident OF
New York to remember the days when
caterpillars rained down on the Sab
bath finery of gentlefolk crossing the
parks, and those caterpillars the spar
row undeniably did clean up, and New
York was grateful. With the other
moths, however-alien moths like the
gypsy and the brown tail, which were
scourges of vegetation-the sparrow
failed.

THE PRESENT STATUS OF
THE WORLDS DEMOCRACY

The power of an ideal condition.
either accompanied or yet in the flu
ture, over the unideal is wildly pic
tured in the ascendancy of demo-
cratic ideals over the old systems of
absolutism 1t is surprising to note
the radidity with which the masses
of people in every country are COM
ing to their own. AS early as the
seventeenth century, progressive
and democratic people, struggling
against the adversities of new
world, and among wild and savage
peoples and conditions, began to
grasp the idea that each man should
be his own governor in so far as the
liberty of others was not interfered
with. This conception having been
long entertained and noUrished fl
nally reached its contamination in
the eighteenth century, when the mo-
ton of Richard Henry Lee made in
Congress June 7, 1776, that "these
United Colonies are and of a right
ought to be, free and independent
states" This motion was carried and
the Colonies were so declared in less
than a month afterward.
The independence and successful
revolution of the Colonies was an in
centive to the beginning OF a second
revolution destined to result in a
new Republic with democratic ideals
and ambitions in France. 1t was a

long, hard struggle in France, but
more than ten years before the re-
public was finally established so as
to stand firm for democratic prin-
ciples of government But it was a
victory which has never relaxed or
grown sullen. And today France
stands out as one of the greatest de-
tenders of democracy in the world.
To take into account the South
American revolutions, and the many
republics that have been springing
up since the independence of the
Colonies was soundly established
would require unlimited space. But
even these weaker sister republics go
to show that democratic government
is absolutely correspondent with hui
man nature itself.
The world was astOunded when the
people of China, great, unprogressive,
uncultured, uncivilized China, threw
off the yoke of absolutism, and de-
clared themselves in favor of the Am
erican form of government. China,
however was handicapped, because
the earnest and ambitious longings OF
people were not backed up either by
the proper leadership or a proper I'M

They saw rather the ideal of freedom
of popular control, than the funda-
mentality of the system itself SUI
perstition, ignorance. lack of expert
ence, combined with centuries of Sc
clusion from the activities of the
world, were stumbling blocks in the
progress of democracy in China. But
as unsettled as things may be, there
is little hope left for the despotic gov
eminent. Having had a taste of free
dom, the people will never again be
content to submit to autocratic rule
Other nations, though autocratiC

FIaqIers Dream Coming True.

The announcement that a contract
has been signed by the z. & o. Steam
ship company for the transportation
over the Key West ferry of a large
amount of sugar and pineapples dem
onstrates that the dream of Henry W..
Flagler, which caused him to build the
Overseas railroad" and the ferry sys-
tenn between Havana and Key West, is
coming true. 1t was Mr.. Flagler's
dream that the railroad and ferry
would be crowded with northbound
traffic. During the first years of the
ferry the results have been just the
reverse to what Mr.. F'lagler had fig
ured them. But there is reason to be-
lieve now that the traffic is beginning
to go north also, as the builder had
planned.-Havana Post.

URGE USE OF "WlLD FOOD"
Woman Food Experts Start Country
Wide Campaign to Teach British
Housewives Economy.

Woman food experts have started a
countrywide campaign to teach British
housewives what food economy means
and how to use the neglected resources
in England's wild food" The women
have started a campaign after the
fashion of an electioneering tour in the
United States. They are making
speeches in theaters, public halls and
from soapboxes on street corners.
The possibilities of wild food" are
declared by one expert to be so great
that country people and the inhabitants
of small towns can supply two-thirds
of their needs for at least three-quar
tiers of the year from fields, woods and
streams Of their immediate neighbor-
hood. This expert declares that there
are more than 260 kinds of food in the
British Isles which nature produces I'M
assisted. They include birds and their
eggs, edible frogs, fishes, mollusks
some insects and insect products
such as honey of haff a dozen species
of wild bees-various crustaceans,
more than thirty vegetables, salad
plants and herbs, the same number of
flowers and fruits, seven species of sea-
weeds and nearly fifty esculent fungi.
The campaign is under the direction
of Mrs. G. B. Peel and Mrs. Pember
Reeves, directors of the WOmen's Serv-
ice in the Ministry of Food. The speak
ers are picked volunteers and receive
special instructions before starting on
tour.
