Major Gen. John j. Pershing, be sent

endorsed by the War Department and
President Wilson himself.
In his explanation of his reasons of
his not availing himself of the So
called Roosevelt amcnument to the
army bill, Mr.. Wilson has brought
sharply the points made against that
amendment by army officers, regard
less of their regard for Mr.. Roosevelt
himself. Many officers who are warm
admirers of the former President have
unhesitatingly condemned his propo-
sal to raise volunteer army corps
or division on the ground it would
drain the regular service of men
vitality needed to train the millions
that must be whipped into fighting
trim in all too brief time.
The list Of officers Mr.. Roosevelt
desired to take with him has been
the subject of much speculation and
comment. Because Of the aid asso-
citation in Spanish war days between
Major Gen. Leonard Wood and Mr..
Roosevelt, it has been regarded that
Gen. Wood was the former Presidents
selection for supreme command of the
force.

Under the plans Of the War De-
partment, Gen. Wood, by reason of
his great experience in mobilization
problems, his unfailing energy and

hardest task of any general officer.
! He will direct as commander of the
Southeastern Department the mobili-
zation and training of twelve divis-
ions, or more than 100000 men,
among whom without question will
be those who will be first selected to
follow Gen. Pershing's forces to
| France.
Coloners Hopes Blasted.
On signing the war army bill to-
night President Wilson issued a
statement saying that acting under
expert advice from both sides of the
water he would be unable to avail
himself at the present stage of the
war of the authorization to organize
voluntary divisions.
There was talk in army ircles to-
night of the possibility that a way
would be found to use the former
Presidents sreviccs in another way
but official comment on the subject
was lacking.
In his statement the President said:
81 shall not avail myself, at any
rate at the present stage of the war
of the authorization conferred by the
act to organize volunteer divisions. *#*
81 understand that the section of
this act, which authorizes the crea-
tion of volunteer divisions in addition
to the draft was added with a view
to providing an independent COM
mand for Roosevelt and giving the
military authorities an opportunity to
use his fine vigor and enthusiasm in
recruiting the forces now at the west

to me to pay Mr.. Roosevelt this COM

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He

Brown met johnson the other morn

latter had parcel under his arm, and
Brown, always inquisitive, wanted to
know what it contained.
"Well," said johnson, ''if you must
know, I've just bought pair of CATERS

"Oh, don't know the name, but
it's little shop Just down that alley
across there" said johnson.
'Ha-ha!" laughed Brown. who al
ways liked his little joke, then they
must he alley-gaiters."
This so tickled Johnson that he
made up his mind that he must tell
that to his wife, so, on reaching home,
he burst into the room, and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.
She could not make out what on
earth was the joke, so Johnson started
to tell her.
"Ha-ha, he-he! oh, lor, such joke
I just met Brown, and he asked me
what I'd got in my parcel.
"I told him I'd bought new pair of

In time Of war the interests Of the
army come first. Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains, ammu-
nitions and army freight in general
At such times the wants of people can
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will, therefore, prepare against
it. q
The Southern farmer is facing this
situation What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil
lions of dollars worth of food prod
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because Of
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result of
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed?
Where would the Southern farmer who
raises only cotton, get food? Grave
possibilities are, therefore, confronted.
They are probabilities if immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such a disaster be fore
stalled? Only by the Southern farm
er growing foodstuffs as well as cot
ton. He can do it. 1t is his duty to
do it. 1t is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece Of work he will be
one of the most useful units in the
army of defense.
At this time it is as important for
the Southern farmer to enlist to pro-
duce food crops as it is for the young
men Of the South to enlist as soldiers.
It will be easy to get men for the army.
It should be easy to get men to raise
farm crops. Let Southern farmers
rally to the call. Let them become
Home Guards by producing this sum-
mer such crops as corn, cowpeas,
sweet potatoes, beans, sorghum, pea
nuts, soy beans, velvet beans and such
garden crops as tomatoes, turnips,
cabbage, onions, Irish potatoes - by
raising hogs, poultry - by producing
eggs, milk, butter by preserving
berries, fruits, vegetables - and do
all this not only for themselves, but
produce enough to have some to sell.
Efficiency and maximum crops are
what the national leaders are calling
for. This means making every lick
count to the utmost. 1t means good

Emergency Crops

AS guide in meeting the crisis,
which is now confronting the South,
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which Of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage Of
cotton per. plow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield. Lint will
bring good price, and SEED will prove
valuable because Of their oil. On a
25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
of cotton may be given each plow, and
it is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed.
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
of vegetables. This will give total
Of 25 acres, and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately af-
ter some of these are harvested.
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared {;
the best known varieties used; the
right kind and liberal amounts Of fer
tilizer applied, and thorough cultiva-
tion given.
This is of special Importance over
much of the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 600 pounds of fertil-
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at
the time the land was being prepared,
it is recommend that a liberal side
application Of fertilizer be used On all
crops already planted. Increase of crop
yields will come with increase in guam
tity Of fertilizer used.

but there are multitude of little
things that later must be added or
repaired in order that the road may
be in good condition. Ruts and chuck
holes are sure to form and these must
be filed or the road soon goes to
pieces. These things should be
planned for and done quickly if the
improved road is to do the fullest
service, and this is the one thing that
it seems to me some Of our county
commissioners are neglecting. They
become so imbued with the idea of
building good roads that they fail to
prepare for the maintenance of roads
already constructed.
