Every Garden Helps.

Let me suggest also that every one
who creates or cultivates garden
helps, and helps greatly, to solve the
problem of the feeding of the nations;
and that every housewife who prac-
tees strict economy puts herself in
the ranks of those who serve the ma
ton.
This is the time for America TO cor
rect her objectionable fault of waste
fulness and extravaganza. Let every
man and every woman assume the duty
of careful, provident use and expendi-
ture as a public duty, as a dictate of
patriotism which no one can now ex-
pect ever 10 be excused or forgiven for
ignoring.
I'm the hope that this statement OF
the needs of the nation and of the
world in this hour of supreme crisis
may stimulate those to whom II comes
and remind all who need reminder OF
the solemn duties of time such as the
world has never seen before, | beg that
all editors and publishers everywhere
will give as prominent publication and
as wide circulation as possible to this
appeal

Supreme Test Has Come,

Il venture TO suggest also to all adj

Inappropriate subject Of comment and
homily from their pulplts.
The supreme test Of the nation has
come. We must all speak. act and
serve together.

High School Principals
 Are Urged to Further
 Campaign for Foods

Montgomery, April 11.-(Special) cipals of all high schools of the state were called upon by William F, Feagin state superintendent of education, Tues day to lend assistance to the campaign for the growing of foodstuffs by insist ing upon the planting of school garden and upon planting of garden by every idividual in school. MT. Feagin declared that this is a time when every person must show his patriotism and that the love of country may be shown by the waving of an American flag over the gar dens of the nation as well as over the military camps of the country.
 Superintendent Feagin requested the principals immediately to communicate with the county farm demonstration agents and canning club agents; that suf- ficient acreage be obtained so each pupil may have a creditable garden; that plans be made for the cultivation of the gardens after the school year has closed; that each pupil be required to have a home garden and make showing before the credits for the year shall be entered on the schools permanent records that each school purchase a canning outfit and give instructions about it's use; that the com munity be organized by the faculty in the campaign for a greater production of food and that the community organization have regular meetings for the discussion of problems.
 T sincerely hope every principal and teacher will give this matter the thought and attention its seriousness demands, ? concluded MT. Feagin. This is more than professional appeal to you as an educator. It is an appeal to your pa- triotism. With this idea in mind you can erect the American flag in your gar dens with as much propriety and with as much meaning as those now waving over military camps.

COTTON MARKET
 BREAKS SHARPLY
General List Closed Un. settled at a Net Decline of
 5 to 42 Points

New York, April 1.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness today and broke very sharply in the late trading, owing to reports of rains in the south west and increased southern spot offer ings. July sold off to 197Sc or 5S points net lower and closed at 19.90c with the general list closing unsettled at net
 decline of 35 to 43 points
 The market opened steady at a decline of 13 to an advance of points in re- sponse to relatively steady cables. but March was the only month to show an advance and prices soon weakened under a renewal of Wall street and scattered liquidation. After showing a net loss of 15 points the market steadied and there were rallies of or 10 points right after the publication of the first weekly wealth. CT and crop report of the season at mid day. This report seemed very closely in line with recent advices, indicating de-
 layed crop preparations or planting, but
 it inspired very little fresh buying and
 the tone soon turned easier under re-
 newed liquidation or selling for a reac- tions. Stop orders were uncovered on
 the break which carried May contracts off to 20.15c, and October to 18,5Sc in the late trading when old crop months sold some 53 to 5S points and the new cror about 32 to AS points under last night { closing figures. Rallies of 10 to 15 points followed on covering, but the talk around the ring reflected continued nervousness and sentiment was unsettled. Reports that numerous points in the south were offering spots freely at present prices were circulating during the afternoon while confusion was probably increased by the talk of government control in the marketing of foodstufrs which some thought might possibly be extended tc cotton.
 Private advices from New Orleans said ocean freights were easier and that room had been booked at $3 per bale for Liver pool.

Shepard X Glnck,s Letter

Received over w. F. Campbelrs pri- vate wire)
 New Orleans. April 11.-(Special) )-Cot- ton was depressed to a moderate extent today by the rains in Texas and eXpecta- tions of more to come. The selling was not carried very far, partly because tele- grams during the day from points in the drouth area of Texas said that no great amount of rain had fallen and part ly because the first crop reports of the season fro mthe department of agricul- season from the department of agricul- their tone
 Briefly summed up these reports stated a great portion of the belt planting and preparations to plant had been interfered with by various things. among them too
 much rain, too little rain, low tempera- lures and lack of sunshine. The one con clusion to be drawn from the reports was that government agents are imbued with the idea that this is a late crop. The market is now hesitating because of the many uncertainties in the situa- tion this country finds itself in because of it's entry into the war 1t will take sometime for industry and commerce to get on the new foundation demanded by war conditions.
 In the end we are confident that mat ters will right themselves and that the ever-present fact that there is a shortage in the supply of cotton will carry prices to a new high level
 For the time being, in consideration of unsettled conditions we would buy only on good recessions.

RAILROADS WANT INCREASE OF RATE
 INFORCE AT ONCE
If Commission Will so Order They Promise to Accept Reduction Any Time
 in the Future

Washington. April 1.-The chief raf-
 roads Of the country. seeking 10 hasten
 proceedings in their applications TOT gen
 eral increases of 15 per cent in freight rates, have notified the interstate con,-
 merce commission that should the in-
 creased rates be authorized the roads
 would accept d reduction, without con
 test, in the courts, at some later date
 when tho present emergency should have
 passed.
 The roads also urged the commission to
 grant the increases not later than June
 l, next declaring that rue present need
 was imperative and that they were fac
 ing a situation growing more serious
 with every day of delay
 Representatives of southern and west ern lines agreed unreservedly to accept any order to reduce rates generally that the commission might see fit to issue later should the present day of soaring operat- ing costs soon pass. Eastern lines sought to couple with their stipulation a condi- ton that the roads would accept such a reduction unless it were virtually con- fiscatory.
 Technicalities apparently in the way of authorization of a general increase were discussed, In the case of anthracite coal. it was pointed out that the statutory two year tune or me coHnlsSlon laLesI oruer fixing rates would not expire for some time yet, and without suspension of the rule no general advance could be made 1 on this commodity rate. Other commodity rates are similarly affected. Indications are that one of two courses probably will be followed: The railroads
 will be permitted to file their proposed
 increases, effective at once. and they WI be suspended for 30 or 60 days, or they will be permitted to file them effective
 June 1, and in the interim hearings will be held to determine their reasonable ness
