1918. Experts from the agricultural department are in the field urging the farmers to increase their winter wheat acreage at least IS per cen, and those experts will be kept on the "go" right along until next spring.
 Mrs. G. H. Mathis, Alabama's great woman farmer, is one of MT. Hoover's assistants. Assistant Secretary of Az riculture Vrooman discovered her nearly year ago. She had then south-wide reputation as an expert, and she is now classed at the very top of practical aids to the governments food administration.
 Mrs. Mathis will be heard in many states during the coming winter. She will hold conferences with farmers and bankers, but her most appealing service will probably be in her public addresses to the husbandmen of the United States. This is great work that Mrs. Mathis is doing and great results will be expected.

"ON LES AURA.o

From the London Spectator Soifat Jacques Bonhomme loquitur: See you that stretch of shell torn mud
 spotted with pools of mire. Crossed by a burst abandoned trench and
 tortured strands of wire, Where splintered pickets reel and sag and
 leprous trench rats play. That SCOUT the devils hunting ground to
 seek their carrion prey? That is the field my father loved, the
 field that once was mine, The land nursed for my childs child as
 my fathers did long syne. See there mound of powdered stones,
 all flattened, smashed and torn, Gone black with damp and green with
 slime ?-Ere you and I were born My fathers father built house. little
 house and bare, And there I brought my woman home-
 that heap of rubble there! The soil of France! Fat fields and green
 that bred my blood and bone! Each wound that scars thy bosom's pride
 burns deeper than my own. But yet there Is one thing to say-one
 thing that pays for all. Whatever lot our bodies know, whatever
 fate befall, We hold the linei We hold it still! My
 fields are No Mans Land But the good God is debonair and holds
 us by the hand "On ies aura!" See there! and there!
 soaked heaps of huddled gray! My fields shall laugh-enriched by those
 who sought them for a prey.

w. J. BRYAN, AMERICAN

From the New York World
 Before our nation enters war it Is perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom of going to war. but the discussion is closed when Congress acts After that no one should be permitted to cloak attacks upon this government or aid the enemy under the claim that he is exercising freedom of speech.
 No sympathy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpatrotic utterances. They abuse free the allies as we'll as to attacks upon the United States. We can no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us We must stand to- gether and fight 1t through. There are only two sides to war Every American must be on the side of the United States
 Since we entered the war no words have better expressed the first duty of an American citizen than these, which are quoted from an article in the Commoner written by William J. Bryan. Creditable to his political vision, his common sense and his patriotism, they may furnish light to some doubting souls bewildered by mocking voices and traitorous suggestions of seditioD

His trouble seemed to be to keep enough stock on hand to supply the demand.
 Now all this before any soldiers save few for guard duty ever showed their faces and uniforms in Anniston. I was told this morning that about POGO sol diers had arrived at Camp Mcclellan, but few are seen on the streets as yet. Evidently they are busy getting in shape.

The country towns and vil- lages are almost bone-drv and the price of liquor has "riz, in the, cities to $6 a quart, and even at that is of a very poor quality, and hard to get.
 The greatest trouble we have is with the auto trade that does someb usiness in spite of the vigilance of the officers. I have written a history of prohibition legislation In Mississippi that will be out in book form in a few weeks. It will give a resume of prohibition legislation since territorial days up to the present and shows that the liquor traffic is battling story of the peoples flight against the whisky ring.
 Every candidate for public office in the state is riding the water wagon as it's the only vehicle upon which any man can hope to ride into office Mississippi is just now getting back on the high plane upon which it stood in colonial days, for in 1799 the first territorial leg islature passed anti-liouor laws requir- ing license for liquor dealers, fixing the price, and also fines for violating these laws, and the vendor was required to be a man of good reputation
