AffidavIts Must Be Given.

w. E. Meyer, state fuel administra'
tor. held a conference at Jackson with
several county administrators and de-
clined to recede from the original
rules laid down covering the supply Of
coal to any one family, which is limit
ed to two tons, and then not until the
purchaser has made affidavit that he
has less than that amount. Some In
the conference believed the rule was
too strict, but Mr.. Meyer declared the
rule would be continued and the full
penalty of the law would be enforced
upon any one who broke it.

crop Condition For Year 1917.

According to the correspondents OF
the state agricultural department the
corn crop of Tennessee is the largest
in the history of the state. In soy
beans the increased yield is computed
at 100 per cent, with indications that
an increased average will be seeded
to this valuable food product next
year. The yield of tobacco is computed
to be Z per cent less than in 1916, but
with much higher prices than in that
year. Cotton is about 80 per cent short
of the five-year average, but the loss
is more than compensated for by the
prevailing high prices. The yield OF
corn shows about 80 per cent increase
over 1916 The yield of potatoes, irish
and sweet, shows gratifying increase
notwithstanding the fact that the ear
ly October frosts considerably damag-
ed sweet potatoes.

BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES,

It was James A. Garfield, we
believe, who, when rendered a
command in the Union armies,
said that he knew nothing of
war except the elementary prin-
ciples, which he understood to
be that a big boy, under ordi-
nary circumstances, could whip
a little boy, and that one big
boy could whip two little boys
if he took them one at a time.
Most of our war strategy is
based on just the principles in
volved in that statement, and
quite frequently the proposition
resolves itself into elements just
about as simple as those stated
by Garfield.
1t is not alone in matters Of
strategy that the main principles
remain practically unchanged,
and that the methods of appli-
cations are frequently those en-
ployed as far back as history
takes US. In the technic of war
we still adhere to the old funda-
mentals, and quite frequently re-
vert to the precise methods en-
ployed by our ancestors.
Of open fighting we have seen
little in this war. Artillery has
made the use of the trench i'm
perative. But even under the
conditions which obtain now,
there have been some conspicu-
Gus examples of field operations
Of a character familiar to the
ancients. Hand-to-hand combat
of course, is of every day occur
renee. The conditions of trench
warfare seem to have made this
sort of fighting more frequent
and desperate than it has been
in most other modern wars. DR..
S. Wier Mitchell, who served as
a surgeon with the federal ar
mics in our civil war, says that
in his experience bayonet wounds
were very few, and, as his state
ment is now recalled, he says
that only two such wounds came
under his own personal observa-
ton. But the bayonet seems to
be used in trench raids in France
almost as freely as the spear
was used before gunpoWder was
invented.
We have seen a return to the
use of the hand grenade. The
gas tank is modification of the
Chinese stink pot. The incen-
diary bomb is a variation of the
ancient Greek fire. Bows and

Worked out in it's details, how
ever, it reveals many missing
links in the chain of argument.
Judging from the male com
ment one hears everywhere, one
would think that the old arts
of housekeeping, and the SIM
pie feminine ways Of keeping
the family peace, were much
more attractive to the male than
mere personal adornment. It is
open to the gravest doubt wheth-
er excessive loudness of foot
wear is as "attractive to the
male" as common kindness,
helpfulness and courtesy. The
theory of personal adornment
for "the attraction of the male"
o'erlaps all these difficulties in
its great assumption.
Thousands of women who feel
no necessity for making them
selves attractive to the male"
do nevertheless spend much time
and thought on personal adorn-
ment. The roots Of this desire
are found in both deeper and
shallower soils than the one so
persistently talked up as it's one
proper soil. In fact, study of
the motives of all this "attrac-
tiveness to the male" propogan-
da, will show tl.at it has it's ba-

PERSONAL ADORNMENT.

Personal adornment, which
has become such a large item in
the family budget, is one Of the
great puzzles of our Psychology.
Perhaps no point of view be-
comes more tiresome by itera-
ton than that now dwelt upon
by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gil
man, namely, that it is not from
a sense of beauty that women
dress, but from a high sense Of
the necessity of being attractive
to man.
"StyIes change" said Mrs. Gil
man in Chicago the other day,
because women constantly have
to make a new appeal to those
who eventually are to support
them"
This doctrine is thought to be
highly scientific, no doubt, for
the reason that in nature we find
numerous instances of beauty
of plumage or coloring for the
sake of sex attraction. Hence
the assumption Of the necessity
for attracting the male of the
human species. This is rather
long leap in logic, but it is vast
ly satisfactory to some minds.

arrows have been used in this
war for the purpose of carrying
light grenades and for incen-
diary purposes.
Naval engagements are car
ried on at a distance Of miles,
and it is seriously maintained
that in clear weather observers
in aeroplanes can so direct the
fire from ships that accurate
shooting can be done when ships
are so far apart as to be invis-
ible from each other because of
the curvature Of the seas sur
face. And yet seamen do fight
at close quarters, just as they
did in the olden days. In the
channel fight the other day hos
tie ships actually came into
physical contact, and boarding
was attempted quite after the
olden style. The story of that
fight has the flavor Of the sea
stories which were dear to the
hearts of the boys of a former
generation, when the blood was
sent bounding through the veins
and the eye kindled at the tales
of the feats of Nelson, and
Drake, and John Paul Jones, and
Lawrence, and the glorious band
of heroes, the stories Of whose
deeds embellished the pages of
many a writer whose name is
now forgotten, but who was a
delight to the boys Of his own
time.-Grand Forks Herald.

POOR ANGLEWORM!


/ / wonder just what ecstacy
An angleworm may know
What mounting wonders stir his
soul
AS YEARLY and slow
He goes through his appointed
task
Without a single kick,
Content to take things as they
come
And never throw brick.
I wonder if he sometimes yearns
To see a baseball game
Or be movie-picture star
Acquiring wads Of fame?
| wonder if his heart sometimes
Is filled with grief and woe
To think he cannot balance eggs
Upon his little toe?
His life is surely circumscribed,
He cannot beat a drum
But also he escapes the fate
Of using chewing gum;
He never breaks his old clay pipe,
Or drinks can of beer;
Nor can he rub the vaseline
Upon his frosted ear.
Alas, it's foolish questioning,
He will not tell to me
What hopes are in his raging
heart,
What visions he may see;
l only know that howe'er Fate
His schemes may circumvent,
He still can laugh at me, as |
