ORDER NEW ENGINES.

The Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis Railway has placed an
order with the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works for ten new Mikado
type freight locomotives, and while
these engines are of practically the
same type as engines purchased a
little more. than year ago, increas-
ing costs of materials will make
these engines cost theroad approx
imately twice what thesame engines
cost a year ago, and delivery can
not be made before November.
The locomotive order is cited
merely to show that while the rail-
roads are forced to pay materially
increased prices for equipment and
practically everything else that en-
ters into the operation and main
talnance or the road, that the price
of the only thing the railroad has
to sell service has remained the
same.
1t is these mounting costs that
have prompted the heads of the
eountry's great transportion sys-
TENS to appeal the Interstate Com
merce Commission for authority
to increase their rates.
The ''cencientious obiector" cry
that the railroads have enjoyed a
prosperous year and that their
earnings have been something "tre-
mendous." 1t is true that the
roads have had increased revenues,
but these increases have not been
in proportion to the increasing
costs in operation, and while the
railroads of the. country made a
splendid showing last year in earn
ings, statistics show that they earn
ed less than s per cent on the cap
ital invested in these great proper
ties.

We Need rlore Food.

Into small village of county
new family moved recently, says
an exchange. The lady of the
home had been in the habit of keep
ing chickens. When she tried to
get six hens with which to start
her small poultry yard she found
that she could not buy any hens
of any kind whatsoever in the viii
hge or in the community around
about.
The poultry of the community
had been sold'to high priced mar
kets, and not even the seed OF a
poultry yard was to be had.
We need more food and we need
It now. We cannot get it now. but
we can start now to get It.
Will you bend your energy in
your county to help the Nation dc
what it should to feed the worlds
That's our job.

WOMEN AND GARDENING

Without going beyond their own
dooryards, millions of American
women and children can render
service to the Nation this summer
as real as that rendered by the SOL
dier on the field of battle. They
each do this by merely planting
and caring for home garden.
Radishes, onions, lettuce, beets,
beans, peas, tomatoes, lima beans,
apinace and numerous other easily
cultivated vegetables can be raised
in the back yard provided the soil
is fertile and intelligence is en-
ployed in the process. There is no
reason in the world why literally
millions Of new back yard gardens
should not be planted this spring,
as soon as the ground is warm
enough, and supply millions OF
families with good, cheap, nutri-
tion foods ell this summer, war OF
no war.
tphe hitherto wasted resources of
the dooryafd land should be utiliz-
cd at once Ft is no more work for
a woman or child to tend vegeta-
BILE garden than it is totend flower
garden or house plants. At pres
ent it is more patriotic to subordi-
date flowers to food.
Later in the summer all the sur
plus vegetables should be canned
at home, either in tins or glass jars'
and kept to supply the family in
the winter.

VOLUNTEERS CALLED
70 ACT AS REGISTRARS

The following circular letter has
been mailed by Rntledge Smith Of
Nashville, disbnrsing officer hav-
ing charge of registration in Ten
nessee, to the newspapers of the
State asking their cooperation in
calling for volunteers to serve as
registrars without compensation.
We are satisfied there are plenty
ut patriotic men in Benton County
who will volunteer to serve as reg
istrars in every district when the
Presidents proclamation is issued,
The letter is as follows:
The President of tire United
States will within the next few
days issue proclamation calling
upon all male citizens of the des-
iguated military age in Tennessee
to assemble at their accustomed
voting precincts throughout the
State and register.
The law requires that registrars
will be appointed by the Sheriffs,
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1917-05-18

or in cities of 10000 or over, by
the Mayor to take this military
census. The registration will be
open from a. m. to 9+p. m. on the
day designated by the President,
on which day and between these
hours, every citizen in the United
States of the prescribed military
age will be registered.
1t is desired that patriotic eiti-
zens of Tennessee who are inter-
ested in serving their country in
this, the gravest crisis in its histo-
ry, volunteer their services to the
Sheriffs or Mayors as registrars.
We know there will be enough
patriotic citizens volunteer~to do
this work 80 that the Volunteer
State can present to the Nation a
registration without cost. Suitable
record will be kept of the name of
each volunteer by the War Depart
ment at Washington as part of the
permanent history of III country.

"My Country 'Tis of Thee

community are more to blame for the
girls fall than the girls If girls
were taught a few lessons about real
life before they leave their homes
they wouldn't be such easy victims
to white slavery agents as they gem
orally are.
If a girl is not too far gone, so ev-
eTybOdy knows her business, she
might have a good chance to make
herself respectable, if she really tries.
1t seems rather curious to me that
the church people, instead Of helping
a girl to begin a new life and forget
her misstep, in most cases are the
first ones to turn her down and do
everything to get her marked.
Yes, I have heard Of cases where
young men have overlooked certain
girls pasts; helped them along on
the straight road, and after a while
got married and lived in happiness.

some Of the latter.
When the working man goes to
war for his country he not only
stakes his own life, but everything
that he possesses. He leaves behind
him all that is precious and dear. He
leaves destitute his broken-hearted

babes, sweetheart and sister to
mourn. Can we ask anybody to do
more? No! Then let the capitalist
