 Apparently a renewal of fighting in Rumania is indicated by the German official communication, which says the Russians have been prevented from carrying out an attack south of the Trotus valley.

When the beautiful church bells at
Hamburg have to be taken down for
war supplies, the stress Of Germany
in many lines may be imagined; but
her greatest disaster is in the loss Of
her maa-power. That power has al

must see herself receding factor in
this respect as the United States next
year steadily pushes men by the hum

must know that her cause is then
hopeless. Her only hope, therefore, is
in the submarine warfare endanger-

CONVICTION LEADER PUR-
CHAsEs Upton RECORD

The owners of the Covington Lead
er, Messrs. ]. w. SimontOn and A. P.
Taylor, purchased the Upton Record
from Mr.. R. H. Green, which includes
the entire outfit, subscription list and
good will of that paper. After the
issue of this week, the publication Of
the Record will be discontinued and
the Leader will continue publication
at its old stand without change of
name. Such Of the Records material
rs will be practicable for use N the.
Leader Office will be moved to this or
fee and the remainder will be sold.
The merging of these two papers
will give the Leader the best printing
plant Of any newspaper Office in any
county town in West Tennessee and
with the consolidated subscription list
far and away the largest circulation
d. any county paper in this section Of
the state. With the additional type
and other printing material obtained
tfrom the Record our facilities for ex-
dcuting printing Of every description
for the public can not be iexcelled. We
propose to continue in the future as
in the past to put forth our very best
efforts every week to produce the very
bestnewspaper that can be issued from
this field, and hope to merit the con-
tinued and increased patronage that
we feel sure will result from. the pur-
chase Of the Record. S1f
The Leader will fill out all inex-
pired subscriptions to the Record free
of charge where said subscriptions
have been paid for as long as one
year in advance. naT- rr..

PREDICT GERMANY CAN NOT
HOLD OUT LONGER THAN YEAR

One of the most encouraging de-
velopments during the past few weeks
was the publication of an article in
the Wall Street Journal, setting forth
what appears to be reasonable pre-
diction that Germany can not last
longer than twelve months in the pres
ent war, regardless of the Russian sit
uation. This is the opinion of the
financial heads on both sides of the
Atlantic who have studied every phase
Of the war since its beginning. There
is limit to human endurance and
this limit, it is figured, must first be
reached in Germany.
The confidence of the allies in their
position at the present time is based
upon their reserve powers. Germany
can get little outside assistance. The
Turk and the Austrian are now Of
little material help and the real de-
tense Of Germany comes upon the
Prussian organization and military
man-power.
The only boast Of the Germans on
their western front is that every time
they retreat it causes the allies trou-
bic to move up their railroads and
supplies.
The serious loss is not Russia in its
present chaotic state; the serious loss
IS the Roumanian oil fields If these
could be recovered, the German u
boat war world soon Be over. Il may

Having printing done away from
home is like doing any other kind Of
trading away from home. This applies
to candidates, merchants, doctors,
county officers and everybody who has
printing done. The candidate wants
the home editor and his employees to
vote for him when he runs for office,
the merchant wants their trade and
the doctor wants to give them medical
advice. Let your home printer do
your printing and keep the money at
home.

GOOD DEMAND
 FOR FERTILIZER
CAR SHORTAGE IS HANDICAPPING DELIVERY, BUT EARLY BUYING SOMEWHAT RELIEVES THE
 SITUATION.

Manufacturers of fertilizers in Lit tie Rock report that large contracts are being made for their products for early delivery, and in spite of the ear shortage, that the seasons business should be above normal. The more general use of fertilizers is given as the cause for the heavy demand.
 The car shortage is giving the man. ufacturers considerable worry, and early buying is being urged by the fac tories in order to get the goods on the way as rapidly as possible. The Arkansas Fertilizer Company is send ing to it's trade the following advice:
 "Order Your Spring Fertilizers Early
 Shortage of Empty Freight Cars September, 1916, 19,000; October 1916, 60,O00; November, 1916, 10S,000; December 1916, (estimated) 112,0Oo. The situation is growing worse.
 Early movement of fertilizers for spring use is necessary this year be- cause of the congested condition of shipping and the shortage in railroad cars and labor throughout the country.
 Indications point to d big increas- ed demand for fertilizers this spring. Even in normal times it is hard to move the 4.500,000 tons used by farm CTS in the spring. Unless orders are placed immediately for prompt ship ment no one can insure your goods ar irving in time. Order full 30-ton cars instead of 15-ton cars.
 No matter what the weather condi- tions may be this spring you can't afford to plant without fertilizer, so you take no chances in ordering early With present prices for cotton and all farm products, fertilizer will be doub- ly profitable. Protect yourself by haul ing your fertilizers now when you have plenty of time. Farm profits de- peend upon having a good supply of plant-food on hand when you need it''

Robust, energetic and clean-phys- ically morally and mentally; a man with love for all out doors; a man who gets intense excitement through a close finish in a horse race, who enjoys to the utmost a scientific eX- hibition of football, can always be counted on as a patron of baseball, and yet can turn out more business than score of less active men. This, in nutshell, is N. w. Nelson, state agent for the International Harvester Company.
 A more close student of things agri- cultural never existed than MT. Nell son. He was born on a farm, reared on a farm, and in a few years expects to retire to a farm, where he will in a practical way demonstrate his agri- cultural theories. Good nature radi- ates from the countenance of MT. Nell son, and the underlying principle of his success with the International company is told in his own words:
 q have never met stranger in my life'.'
 One is impressed with MT. Nelson's s sincerity and his genuine pleasure in the meeting by the firm grasp of the hand and the twinkle of friendship in his eye. MT. Nelson is real busi- ness man, and, being a big business man, he appreciates the value of friendship in business, and always has time for visiting with those who call at his office. Agriculture and horses arc the principal themes discussed by visitors to his sanctum, but when the visitor has gone he has, in a roundabout way, absorbed lot of valuable information about the most approved system of farming and the important part I. H. c. goods play in it.
 N. w Nelson is a Kentuckian-a genuine Blue Grass Kentuckian His range has been wide, but, no matter where he travels, he will always main tain fondness for hurley tobacco, growing hemp and the horse. He has been with the International Harvester Company since it's organization. be- ing absorbed with the Deering liar vester Company, with which he had risen to the position of state agent for Kentucky, and three times the l. H. c. has given him we'll deserved pro- motions Tn the first of these he was made general agent for Pennsylvania. The second gave him similar posi- tion in the state of Indiana. and the last and best was his promotion to general agent for Arkansas. With each elevation Mr Nelson has been given added responsibilities, and by removing a man from control of the company's business in an old and es- tablished state like Indiana to Ar
