PRACTICE ECONOMY
BY J. w. FEAeAN.

We, who are to remain at home,
must do our bit toward winning the
war, by putting into practice every
possible manner of economy. This
winter cannot tell any thing, So far al
The duration Of the present war is co i.
cerncd. OF course we hear of peace
rumors every now and then but they
don't amount to any thing.
The country is getting ready for war
on an unprecedented scale. God
pity the man VINO defy our ability to
fight when the time comes We are
rot nation of Boosters. We much
prefer the peaceful pursuits OF life,
Dat if nothing else will do but war,
we are getting ready for it. We know
too, that we are to meet a nation of
people whose principal business is war
and whose aim is forever indemnity
and territory.
The nation Of people Of whom 1
speak, mas mad under consideration
for many years the subjugation of the
great part OF Europe, extending its
dominion as far as America. where it
expected an indemnity of fifty billion
Of dollars. if thi; nation or empire was
successful in it's American expedition
All these facts have been revealed
since the present world war began
Nothing less than a complete subju-
cation of Germany will suce the
allied powers of the earth. AS we are
already engaged in war with Germany
and since recent news and events have
provne that war with that power has
has been inevitable for some time,
let us throw our entire strength
against the enemy while it is compare
lively crippled. Now is the time for
this county to strike hard if it ever in
tends to do so.

AS time rolls around and the pros
pect for long war becomes apparent,
the pinch OF hunger is quite liable to
be felt. the crop OF hogs for this WIN
tres killing is uneomonly small in
nearly every section Of our country
The same may be said Of beef cattle
We need more small grain in this
country than at any time since the
Civil war and even moore tnan we die
then The allied nations Of Europe
are very dependent on us for at least
q portion Of their food We are all in
a boat together now, il it sinks, we
win all go down together,
million American soldiers will, in
all probability, be landed in Europe in
the next year 1t will take a lot of
food for them, for they are the ones
who are to fight our battles and they
must be fed, although we may have
to go a Ill roetthsrs. Cmericfldo rbev
to go little short ourselves. You and
j, readers, and every body else will
have to do our bit toward feeding
them. They must have something to
eat, that they can relish, while living
in European bitches.
We can't have anything and every
thing we may wish to eat after awhile.
We might as well county on that if
the war lasts. We had just as well
commence living on less and get used
to it for, eventually, if the wars dura-
ton is extended, we will have it to do
any way.
We, as sure as cate, will eventually
have to adapt ourselves to wheatless
and meatless days, for they are com

WARN SPECTATOR
IN COTTON seed
COMMISSIONER BROWN RAISING
ROUGH HOUSE ABOUT PRICE
OF COTTON SEED.

Following assurances given to rep
resentatives of southern farmers, by
federal food administration board,
that there would be no ecort to in
terfere with the market for cotton
seed, report GENES from Alabama of
warnings issued to alleged spectators
in cotton seed by State Food Admin
istrator Richard NJ Hobbie, said to
have been the result of Geographic
instructions from Herbert Hoover,
food administrator.
In the dispatch from Montgomery,
it is stated that certain persons, So
called spectators, were buying up
large quantities of cotton seed and
peanuts for manufacture into oil at
prices much lower than the market"
that "this practice is in direct viola
tion of the law, and that all of these
guilty will be punished, if further eff
forts to buy from the farmers at low
prices with a view of boarding sup
plies of these two commodities, are
made"
The dispatch then continues:
'Mr. Hobbie said that the govern
ment has no intention of taking over
the stocks of the farmers, but would
take them over from spectators in
addition to prosecution, whenever the
evidence could be secured"
Regarding this matter Commission
er of Agriculture j. ]. Brown made
the following statement: "No one
could object to the elimination of il
legitimate speculation. I know moth
ing of any spectators in cotton seed
and peanuts in Georgia, but do know
that there are hundreds of merchants
and Independent buyers in Georgia
and other cotton states, who buy cot
ton seed from the farmers who trade
with them at market price, and sell it
tC the mills at the market price.
They are in no sense spectators, but
take the seed in payment of obliga-
lions and in trade. and in many cases
pay cash, and sell them to the mills
as they need them.
eff that is the attitude which the
government proposes TO assume, as to
outside buyers, and since it has said
it would not interfere with stocks in
the hands of the farmer, then there
is only one thing to do, and that is
to establish a holding movement for
cotton seed.
'If any attempt is made in this
state to shut out the independent buy
er, depriving the farmer of competi-
ton for his products, shall not hes
itate to ADVISE and urge the farmers
of this State to- hold their seed for a
price based on packing house and
other food products, Lard has in the
past controlled the price of cotton
seed old, and corn products should,
in my opinion, control the price OF
cotton seed meal.
after making a fair and correct
calculation, based on the packing
house products and giving the dealer
and manufacturer fair margin of
profit for hauling and manufacture,
we can very readily ascertain the
correct market value of the raw cot
ton seed.
'The farmers of the South were
compelled to sell their products dur
ing the past two years of the war I'M
der the supply af demand, and on ac-
count of disturbed and abnormal con-
ditions for export cotton, they were
forced in 1914 to take / cents for

GIRL ARTIST

Miss Alice Riddle, UltraModern and Ultra-Pret-

Plugging at Palette for Inspiration

The Public--poor uninitiated Public--is

reason why the walls of Mrs. Jones's par

Smiths II is also the reason why painters
who look TO last years sales for this years
inspiration are riding about in supersixes
while the darers for arts sake must hang to
the ivory strap in the nice green trolley
car
Substantially this is the cap made to tit
the quotation that real art is never recog-
nized during the life period OF its creator.
It was fashioned by the ultra modern, ultra
pretty Miss Alice Riddle, the young Phila-
dephia artist whose picture of an old
fashioned garden was awarded $3.50 prize
in Mrs. Harry Payne Whitncy's Friends of
the Young Artists Exhibition, closed last
week in New York.
Paradoxicaly, Miss Riddle is darer
and n successful one. Proof substantial Of

We had heard and read about how the
men in the army are supported with proper
food value on a few cents a day. But we
thought this was all done by buying in
quantities Now it has been demonstrated
10 us in cents and fractions of cents that by
buying in the open market, just as any
housewife must do, meals with proper food
value can be furnished at a mere fraction
Of what one must pay in restaurant.
A TYPICAL MENU
For the purpose of showing how it can
be done l am taking one meal at random,
the dinner we were served on Tuesday night
1t was fine dinner and every one of us
had all we could eat. We started out with
meat loaf. Two pounds of beef were used
costing sixteen and one-half cents pound.

the conventional in art and humbly sug-
gested that walking on the ceiling was
very, very new.
The young lady who has been successful
was bravely loyal TO the seekers of the
different and merciessly unsympathetc
with the nayers Of new thought In art.
1T is not merely searching for something
new. The effort is being made in way
TO meet with a condition brought on by
the development OF photography into an
art. Photography reproduces with minute
accuracy. The painter must seek now to
depict something more than what is out
lined before him. He is trying to bring
out emotions, thought and music on the
canvas.
THE things that sell well are as n rule
the same sort of pictures that has been
done year after year. The public IL afraid
TO trust its own taste and the conservatives
are afraid To get out of the beaten track
for fear their pictures vii not find sale.
This is Commcrcialism on the part of the
artists and cOmmercialism is the death Of
art. Real artists go along painting as they
like To paint. They are seldom financially
successful"
