Save the Waste.

1t has been quite number
of years since crop reports after
August LIST showed improved
conditions, yet such is undoubt-
eddy the case. The plant-a-gar-
den campaign and the efforts Of
clear headed agriculturists to
increase food production has
proven a success. More recent
ly and from now until frost the
canning campaign will continue
uppermost. More canning has
been done to the present date.
than probably ever before, and
the season is fairly under way.
People are urged to can all per-
ishables possible. Dig up all
the old cans and fill them. Cans
and jars like everything else
are high and scarce. 1t has been
suggested that other vessels
other than regular canning YES
sells be used for preserves, jams,
ETC., in order that the cans go
further. The family who allows
fruit to go to waste because,
they may have money to buy
canned goods from the store
are classed as slackers. By fail
ing to save their own wastes
they are using that which could
be used by others less fortunate.
In spite of big crops the world
is in a state of famine. Many
things that once appeared on
the tables of the poor, especial
ly in the cities, are not there.
now because the price is be-
yond their means. That is why
it is doubly important that
nothing be allowed to go to
waste. We should look at this
thing from a broad and unself-
ish standpoint. Saving the
waste may be the margin that
brings victory, and the saving
of hundreds of thousands Of
lives.

Let Him Go to War.

A man who has seen service
in the United States Army,
Aaron Hardy Ulm, tells in an
article printed in Golfers why
he would let his son go to army
and points out the greatest adj
vantages of military training
and camp life to boys. To par
ents who are afraid for their
boys he gives the cheerful in
formation following:
Ninety or more out of every
hundred who go to war will re-
turn sound and well--ay, sound

have been out of war. I know

HELD WITHOUT BOND
Bowie County Farmer Is Charged
With killing Neighbour.

TeXarkana, Aug. 11.-W w. Beard,
aged so, was held to the Bowie Coun-
ty Grand Jury without bail, follow
ing his examining trial before Justice
j G. Hollowell today ON charge OF
killing Aaron Freeman, about Is
miles from this city, who was called
to the door of his home and shot 10
death, about nine o'clock last Satur-
day night. Freeman's wife had been
previously held as an accomplish and
With Beard, will be taken to the
county Jail at New Boston tomorrow,
to be held until next term of court.
Beard was arrested Thursday by
Mrs. Mary Chapman a young woman
weighing less than 100 pounds, after
officers had almost given up hope of
locating him. Mrs. Chapman came to
town Wednesday and told Constable
Warrington that If he would give her
warrant that she would bring him
IN He agreed, and Thursday she
made good her promise, for about
noon she arrived in the city with her
man. She had arrested him at the
home of neighbor, where he has
been in hiding since the killing. She
got the drop on Beard and told him
that he would have to come along.
Evidently he saw the look of deter
mination in her face, and meekly
submitted.
1t is alleged that criminal init
macy existed between Beard and Mrs
Freeman and that the latter helped to
plan the murder in order that they
might marry.

Public speakers in and out
of congress and public life, and
writers who believe in putting
things strong for emphasis PIC
ture the war we are entering IN

for all purposes without need
less exageration. Statements
that America will give up NIL

victory comes have been maze
bv prominent men in all serl-
BUSINESS. Such statements are
TOO ridiculous to command SER
ious attention after a moment
of calm thought. Germany IS
said to have not over TWO ana
one-half million men on the
western front and tnre2-quaft-
er million on the eastern. On
the western front the allies now
outnumber the Germans two
to one. When America gets
going good the ratio will be
three to one. The German is
now out gunned and out fought.
His losses are greater than the
allies. France admits having
three million men under arms;
England has from five to seven
millions. While America was
losing a million men, how many
millions would France and Eng
land be losing? During this
time what would be happening
to the Germans, who are now
and for the past year have been
sustaining heavier losses? At
the present ratio of losses, or
even a man for a man loss, long
before America could lose q
million men, or any big part
of that many there would not
be German soldier left in the
world. Most of these boys who
are going away are coming
back. Our losses may be
heavy and saddening, but isn't
it time to cut out the Wild-eyed
business of picturing unreason-
able casualty lists to the extent
that every mother sees her son
dead on a battlefield?

For Thorough Control.

The minimum price of 50 for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become eff
fective until next year, but the ad-
ministration proposed to exercise a
very thorough control ever this years

the food and export control bills.
Following is the administration s
announcement:
1.-THE disturbance to the world s
commerce and short supplies has caus-
ed a greater disruption of the normal
markets for wheat than any other &C.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER
Five Acres of Wheat and Oats for
Every Farm.

7 rmers all over the State are
beginning to plan the crops for next
Because of the great war, con-
g.. ons are very different from what
they have been in the past. All feed
and food stuffs are especially high and
are sure to continue to be so until aft
err the war. because the allied coun-
tries are calling upon us constantly
for supplies. In the past cotton ana
corn have been the most remuneratlye
crops in the cotton belt, Small grains
have been grown but little because the
markets for these crops have not been
Geveloped; there has been a shortage
of machinery, and because the price
has been such that cotton as a cash
crop has been much superior. With
nresent prices farmers can we'll af-
ford to plant wheat and oats. Where
they have not been grown before per-
haps a planting sufficiently large to
supply the needs of the family and the
livestock will be enough. Where they
have already been grown to a llmlted
extent and where they have been used
with some degree of success as cash
crop the acreage can we'll be lncreas-
ed. A few acres of these crops plant
ed early this fall will make splendid
pasture during the winter and spring.
Lands for these crops should be
broken after the corn and cotton are
laid by and before harvesting of these
crops begins. If cultivation is kept
up in good shape the wheat and oats
may be sown in the cotton middles
with little additional preparation. Too
often farmers wait until seeding time,
then broadcast the wheat or oats on
the surface and break them in with a
stirring plowr and freezing out in the
winter often results. In all cases the
soil should be prepared in good shape,
leveled off and the clods broken before
the seed is sown. The covering then
may be done with a harrow if a drill
is not available. Small grain crops
sometimes are disappointing because
they have been sown in the poorest
soil on the farm. Use good soil. The
last two weeks in October is about
the right time to SOW in the Southern
part of the state. Seeding in the north
ern half of the state should be a few
days earlier. Early seeding will pre-
vent winter killing to large extent
and will produce more pasture.
Winter turf oats will far outyield
Spring oats If put in properly. If
Winter turf seed cannot be secured the
Red Rust Proof varieties will give
splendid results in the south half of
the state
Every farm should have at least five
acres of wheat and oats, and in sec
tions where they have been grown sue
cessfully the acreage should be much
more.

plan for controlling wheat, flour and
bread, revealing that the government
is prepared to take over the whole

"for a good many years. My stomach

Daring Exploits of '76 Little Less
Thrilling Than Present Battles

Ingenuity Is Triumphing.

Ingenuity Is Triumphing.
Washington, Aug. 12.-Yankee sea-
men in the North sea and English
channel are unfolding the tradition
set for them by John Paul Jones in
those same waters more than CEN
tury ago. AS did the old lofty
SPARED Bon Homme Richard, with
smooth bore. cutlass and consumate
handling of the sheets and braces, out
sailed and outfought the proudest
ships of Britannia's line, when Brl-
tannia ruled the waves in 1775, so, in
1917 the youngsters from factory and
farm, who have sprung to the
breeches of our quicktirers and into
the stokholds of our swift, sleek de-
stroyers, are outmaneuverlng and out
hitting the submarine which boosted
that it would starve the anti-Teuton
world.
There is almost gayety about the
Navy Department these days. There
are whispered confabs among officers,
who go away with smiles. The de-
tails of the almost daily reports of
Admiral Sims are beginning to leak
out into the service. AS yet, for mill
tary reasons, Secretary Daniels has
refused all statement of the details
of Admiral Sims report. Yet he cam
not deny that they are very satisfac-
tory
U-War Is Defeated.
1t looks as if the problem of the
submarine has been solved. Hun
dreds of ships each week bear the
stars and stripes through the barred
zone, through which Germany said We
might send one ship a week painted
like barber pole.
The navy has promised to announce
any disaster-no announcement has
been made. The answer is plain
enough.
When a U-boat commander can
safely get but one squint at target
less stable than a we'll conditioned
flea, his deadly torpedoes go astray
since Sims squadron learned the
game and taught it to our merchant
men and transports.
Lookout for "BlindS.'
Yankee gunners when they enter
the barred zone are taking shot at
They admit this. Float
ing logs, bits Of wreckage, even big
seabirds, everything that bears any re-
semblance of a periscope right of
feels the crash Of three-inch shell.
These things are shattered because
the Yankee gunners score hits. There
are no scratch crews such as many
of the British merchantmen carried.
These are among the best shots of the
United States navy.
From what has been learned O.. Ad-
miral Sims reports there have been
real pcllSCOpco tillloliS AhSoS NiNtiiiio'
This is borne out by the caution the
Teuton has learned. They no longer
lay calmly half submerged with en-
gines stopped and everything ready
for a fair launching of their torpe-
does. They must take their shots on
the run, and after but one glance.
Absolute coordination between the
Sims patrol and our transports and
has been attained. 1t is
believed that the ships are sent
through previously cleared and al
ways changed channels.
Secretary Daniels is now consulting
with experts as to how much of the
detail of this story can be made public.
When it comes out it should be one
to stir the souls of every American
who knows the navy and believes in
his country.
