only seven million men between the
ages of IS and 40 listed in gainful oc-

aiken for war. Necessity has put the
old men, boys and women 10 work.
There is no such thing as an idler or

Retired farmers. retired capitalists and
society ladies' have ceased to exist.

cars and trucks, People IN the towns
have only started to produce their
own food. They made a showing in the
cant lots were available that were cul-
tivated and less than one in ten who
could have done so produced any food.
Our government is calling upon our
farmers TO raise more hogs and TO grow
more wheat. Both can be done. With

hog crop can be doubled with WORK
done mostly before the grain crop sea-

MERLE HAYS SACRIFICE.
rCa rrnll Herald.

Merle Hays life has been sacrihced
to the wicked ambition OF the kaiser
and the junker coter!e that have run
amuck in Germany. This full-mind-
ed. -blooded boy from the farm IN
Richland township, by his sacrhce.
has written his name in the history or
his country. Rising above the touching
sympathy that reaches the heart. we
glory in the thought that he achieved
fame and a name that will be cher
ished by his family. his friends and the
people who have known him and his
sorrowing family. HIS young life has
gone out, but what glory has come
from his brief record as an. American
soldier. Merle Hays sacrifice Is COM
pensated in the name and example he
has left: his genuine patriotism. all
that is implied in devotion to a cause
willingness to discharge the 1ulles'
duty. His memory is already a rica
heritage to the people Of Carroll county.

vain. It's supreme lesson will be effec-
tive only X we do our share here al
home We must attach precious value
to the things he died for. and more
than ever before rise to higher pitch
OF patriotism and keener sense OF
SELF sacrifice. Loyalty to the govern
ment Is our first duty, and this implies
a genuincness Of spirit that will admi,
no doubt. allow no dissent, permit nc
aspersion. We must stand for the
United States and all that its welfare
demands with the same loyalty that q
man would defend the virtue of his
wife or daughter. Hereafter the voice
OF treason must not be allowed to LISP
it's kissing sound, the Stacker must not
be permitted to share the respect OF
his fellow men and women.
Merle Hay has made the supreme
sacrifice; we shall be lacking patriot
ism II we fail to rise to greater
heights do our full duty and see that
others do no less. BY force OF events
we are indeed our brothers keepers
and must make the concern Of all our
individual concern. The death Of Merle
Hay means something. the lesson OF
his sacrifice must be seriously consid-
cred now and hereafter.

Hang a halo on her brow;

And the housewife didn't pay
Seven prices for the stuff.
When her reign was at Its height,
It is true and not dream
That at supper every night

Custard, pumpkin, lemon pie
Always lined the pantry shelf,
Where fat and lazy guy
Could go in and help himself.

Haven't seemed to hasten Peaca.

AS required by finer blood
Give her just patch o( weeds
And the friendship Of her cud.
Tho she had no pedigree.
To the length Of seven blocks:
Tho her low brow family tree
Didn't spront from Adams OK:
Even tho her sires and dams,
Kept no dentists for their teeth,
Kindly stay your scornf,l slamsi
She deserves q laurel wreath.
