SUBMARINES To
De SWEPT FROM
SEAS BY YANKEE
INGENUITY

New York, May CIV. L. Saunders,
chairman of the naval consulting
board, announced here today that the
board had forwarded 20 Washington
plans for dealing with the submarine
problem, which it was believed, had
solved the problem successfully.
Mr., Saunders, who has been chair
man of the naval consulting board
about two months, supplemented his
announcement by saying that while
the submarine problem cannot be
considered in reality to have been
solved until the U-boats have been
destroyed, nevertheless numerous ex-
perimentsi had been made along the
Atlantic coast which led the board to
feel confident that successful solu-
ton had been reached.
1T looks as though the submarine
problem has been solved" Mr.. Saun-
ders said, mot only in theory but on
the strength of practical tests on the
Atlantic coast"
500 Inventions Submitted
Mr.. Saunders added that 500 inven-
tions for U-boat suppression had been
submitted for consideration of the
board and experiments with many of
them justified, he believed, the asser-
ton that a plan had been found by
which the submarine peril could be
eliminated.
Mr.. Saunders was unwilling to go
snto further details of the boards ex-
periments, all data on the subject
having been forwarded to Washing
ton but he said the public had right
to be informed of the progress made
toward multiplying the depredations of
the German undersea craft.
Mr. Saunders in talking to group
of newspaper men emphasized that
inasmuch as he was not disclosing de-
tails of the naval boards recommends
atoms to the government the state
ments he made were not military in
formation and would be of no inform
ative value to the German govern
ment.

CLOSING CONFERENCE YEAR
IT'S the close of the conference
year with Methodists, and this week
the ministers are assembled at Muir.
ray, KY, in annual conference, where
new appointments will be assigned
some and others returned to forroer
charges, and still others-those long
in the harness and worn with the
weight Of years, weary of the great
responsibilities devolving upon them
and meriting a well-earned rest
these will be placed upon the retired
list.
And because these old men are
no longer in active harness is no
reason why their days of usefulness
toward their fellow-men has passed.
No-far from it! The very associa-
ton with them will be an inspiration
to us all. Their storehouses of rich
knowledge and experience gathered
in their walk down the long lane of
life will be useful to erring, forget
ting man. Their influence will be
still felt. Their prayers will still be
answered-their counsel sought and
their fatherly advice needed. In the
sunset of their well-spent lives may
they have time, as they certainly
should and will, to observe the fruits
of their labors and hear the "Well
done, thou good and faithful SER
want"
The conference year just closing
has been a rather hard one on the
ministry. The war question has al
most completely absorbed the pub
lie mind. 1t has been most difficult
to preach a sermon and hold the at
tention of an audience without con-
siderable reference during the course
of the discourse to the European
carnage. 1t has been most difficult
to properly organize for church work
because the public mind has been abb
sorbed in the war, in the draft, the
departure of the boys, the Red
Cross and a multiplicity of other un-
usual things which have struck the
church a harder blow than aught
else. But may we not hope the end
of it all is in sight and that minis
ters going to new fields of labor will
be able to arouse an interest akin
to the old time religion.

STARTLING VISION.

Joe L. HOlbroOk, editor of the
Dresden Enterprise, has been fight
ing for two years to keep from rails
lng the subscription price of his pa
per from 81 year to $3.50 per an
mum. When hogs reached $40; wheat
1925 a bushel, Irish potatoes 81 a
bushel, eggs so cents per dozen, Joe
found that his dollar purchased just
about one-eighth what it did three
wears ago. When cotton jumped to
Is cents a pound, shoes from SIS to
S12 a pair. new corn Sc barrel, a
SIS suit Of clothes to $50, the scales
fell from Joe's eyes, but he still lack
ed the courage to increase the price.
Last week Joe and two other news
paper owners in that section saw
that they must either increase the
price of subscription, cut the size OF
their paper in half or quit business.
The vision was startling, and then
and there they decided that on Jan.
/, 1918, the subscription price of
their papers would be $3.50 year,
and had to be paid in advance. That
was the correct business move and
they did right in the premises. No
man should kick about paying a dol
lar and half for a good newspaper.
Subscribers should have more re-
spect for the editors for the reason
thew are exhibiting business accumen
when they increase the prices.
Newspapers are compelled by sheer
courtesy to notify their subscribers
of any change made or about to be
made in prices. Does the merchant
do this2 Certainly not. When cot
ton goes up the price of cotton goods
goes up and he makes no excuses for
raising the prfce-he raises because
the price TO him has been raised.
Everything used by a printing es-
tabhsbment has increased in price
from ZOE to 800 per cent and yet
MANY newspaper subscribers howl at
and get mad at the editor when he
increases the price of subscription.
The farmer has no reason in the
world to kick. He pays less for la
Dor than anybody and he is now get
ting more for his produce than he
ever thought he would. The man
who runs a farm-a good one-has
the world at his feet He is the most
independent man on earth, The peo-

pie of Weakley and adjoining coun-
ties should never demur at the pitt
full increase in the price of their pa
pers, and should stand by their news
papers. The daily papers have in
creased subscription rates, and some
of them have made over 100 per cent
increase. 1t will not be surprising
that all country papers will be COM
peeled to go to 81 a year in order to
exist. Within the past six weeks
more than 200 weekly papers in the
East, North and West have raised
their prices of subscription to 50.
Pay the dollar and a half gladly and
don't kick.-Murfreesboro Journal.

A WISE SUGGESTION.

A WISE SUGGESTION.
The Enterprise last week called
attention to the situation confront
ing the farmers of this county with
regard to the labor situation for next
years crop, pointing out the abso-
lutte necessity of depending now
more than ever upon improved farm
machinery to make up for the de-
ficit in farm labor.
A suggestion comes from Mr. Har-
ny E. Jones which we think a most
timely and practical one. Mr.. Jones'
idea is to form a farmers club of
townspeople will rent so, IS or
100 acres of land, the club to be
made up of business and profession
al men-and professional loafers.
This club will cultivate its plot of
land, each member putting in a GER
tain number of days work per week
to the cultivation of some needed
food or feed crop, and each man to
be given credit for every days work
performed. Of course this would
be a little complicated and out of
the ordinary, but we are living in
extraordinary times and under eX-
traordinary conditions, and must be
expected to do extraordinary things.
And the thing might not pan out as
well as the farming operations of
Mat House or Buford Swain or AL
len Brasfield, but it could be made
a profitable undertaking. We are
sure Mr.. Ellis would cooperate in
the scheme.
There are no less than so bust
ness and professional men in Ores
den who could devote two days each
month to some work outside their
business. This would mean 100 days
month cultivating the plot, and
certainly, even with raw recruits,
some good would be accomplished to-
ward increasing the worlds food and
feed supply. Then, the fever might
it would-strike into other commu-
mites and great good result. But
whatever is done, if the suggestion
is to be put into operation, must be
done at once, as, little later on lands
cannot be had for this purpose. And
then, now is the time to do fall plow-
ing and lay in a supply of feed stuff,
purchase or hire work stock, tools
and go on.

Southern Hospitality.

If there was any doubt concern
ing the welcome that would be ac-
corded the Northern troops in
the Southland it has been effectually
swept away. Many proofs of South
ern hospitality and kindly consider
alton have been offered, and among
them comes a communication from
a Cleveland mother whose son is at
Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala.
She has been impressed in a direct
way by the spirit of Southern friend
illness and bears witness to her APP
probation in a public form. She
writes:
cut the accompanying poem from
the editorial page of the Montgom-
cry Advertiser. l would like to see
it in print. Perhaps a little intro
ductory article would help to bring
it to the attention of others so that
they will more freely realize and APP
preciate the true Southern hospi-
tality-as, | am afraid, few of US
40.
The spirit of the poem is being lit
orally carried out, for my boy, who
is in camp there, and two of his com
rades have a standing invitation to
a Montgomery home for Sunday Gin
ner.
Their hostess, a gracious South
ern woman, has a son in the service
and away from home. All three of
the Cleveland boys were strangers
to her. need not add that the young
soldiers appreciate her fine courte-
sy. Here is the little poem, which
the anonymous author 1t is signed
"A friend to Soldiers'-caIls "Take
a Soldier Home Today"
Invite soldier home today,
And ever keep in mind
That from their homes they're lar
away
So treat them we'll and kind
They left their homes for ne and
you
And soon they'll leave Their coun-
try's shore;
Soon, soon they'll cross the ocean
blue,
And we may never see them more,
But they are with us here today,
And now's our time to treat them
we'll;
Make bright and happy here their
stay
Weave memories sweet with them
to dwell.
$50 take a soldier home today
And let him feel the home pulse
beat,
For mothers boy-so far away
And don't forget they like to eat.
Here is another little story along
the same line, the incident being re-
lated in letter from camp. 1t tells
how two Cleveland boys were loiter-
ing along a road in Montgomery's
suburbs when they came across an
automobiles in distress. He was a
typical Southern gentleman with pro-
fuse white hair and dropping white
mustache. His car had slipped from
the highway into the ditch. The

If you care for heavy hair that glis-

Just one application doubles the

VACClNATE ANIMALS
BY MARCH FIRST

All animls should be vaccinated
regularly where Charlton once exist
ed, and the owner should not wait
until the disease has broken out, as
it requires about one month from
the first injection for the animals
to become protected. 1t is better to
set a date on which to begin vacci-
nation each year. This should not
be allowed to pass without having
the animals given the first dose of
double-dose viccine. They ought to
be protected by the first Of April,
as charbon, as a rule, rarely breaks
out previous to that time.
The symptoms Of Charlton cary
according to the channel through
which the infection (germ) enter
the system, and may be from sud-
den death, without any external
signs, to sickness for a few days
with swellings on the exterior of the
body. Where the infection has been
inoculated through the skin, a pri-
mary swelling will be seen at each
point Of incubation. Hogs usually
show swelling of the throat, which is
sometimes mistaken for' sore throat
or quinsy. During the summer
months, especially where Charlton
has previously existed, all cases of
sudden death should be looked upon
as suspicious of Charlton, and the
carcasses treated as such as most of
them are likely to have resulted
from that disease, and il is much
safer not to take any chances. Be-
sides, the regulation of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board require
this.
