Patriotism Begins At Home.

This is the caption of an article which the
United States Department Of Agriculture has
prepared for the consideration of the farmers and
urban dwellers.
Patriotism beings at home That means ev-
benefit the whole nation; every. home garden
planted here will help feed the United States
army; every acre redeemed from weeds and I'M
derbrush means so many more pounds Of food
stuffs added to national granery.
Let the article drive home the lesson we must
learn at once:
I'm emergencies, it may be necessary for
some patriots to unyoke the oxen and leave the
pillow standing in the furrow, but the lasting sup
port of nation requires efficient patriots to keep
the plows going. The soil supports the corn !;
corn supports animals; corn and animals support
an army and armies fight on their bellies Let
us properly care for the goose that lays the gold
en- egg.
Whether corn prices are high or low, the far
mer's profit depends on obtaining large acre
yields. Large acre yields reduce the expense of
both labor and land 1t is remarkable that acre
yields are increasing most rapidly in the states
southeast and the states north and west of the
corn belt states. These increased acre yields are
largely due to earlier and thicker planting of bet
ter seed corn. Unnecessary losses from plant
ing poor seed corn are diminishing as it becomes
more fully realized that neither frosts nor
droughts can exterminate good acclimated war;
ieties if sufficient seed be saved from good crops
to last until another good crop is obtained Good
seed corn will retain it's powers of termination
and production for four or five years."

On The Boards
THE PRINCESS PAT.

Tonight when the Victor Herbert
Henry Blossom latest combined effort
The Princess Pat" is presented at
The Washington. music lovers will
have an opportunity to hear twenty
compositions every one OF which is an
acknowledged hit. When the opera
was first produced It's every number
was accorded such warm reception
it was decided that, as 1t frequently
ran later than half past eleven, to cut
out few of the numbers, but when
it came to making 2 decision as to
which should be eliminated, it was
found to be rather, difficult task as
all were immensely popular and so it
was finally determined to continue
to give the opera in It's entirety.

Undivided Patriotism.

No man can serve two masters, says the Book
of Truth.
This word may be taken to heart today by
Americans of German extraction. 1t is natural
that their sympathies, before the entrance of the
United States into the war, should have been with
Germany.
All their sympathies today must be with the
United States. None of them dare blink the
truth that whole hearted allegiance to the Amer
lean colors is prime essential for citizenship.
Germany would not tolerate for one minute
luke warm support of an Americana German but
would insist on absolute allegiance to the Kaiser
And so German American must not believe
it hard or cruel if the United States government
demands with all the power back of the COM
mand that every citizen, irrespective of lineage
be true to the United States and accept without
murmur or questioning the issues that confront
the nation.
All of US must work for victory by the United
States All our thoughts, our deeds, our hopes
must center on this consummation
Keep your mouth shut and obey the law" is
the dictum which Attorney General Gregory laid
down for the aliens who are living in the United
States.
His advice is good one and will prevent unto
ward incidents and consequent i'll feeling.

three ideal Pickford vehicles and the
matter Of making final decision prov

"MILK-POIS0N" SAMPLES
"NEUTRAl" SAY CHEMISTS
AND .s-
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER

The SAMPLES of butter and milk
which were sent TO Atlanta and
Baltimore for analysis have been
pronounced neutral" after most
careful examination and tests on
animals. Absolutely no trace of
poison was found in them and the
source of the poison is as much a
mystery as ever. The samples
were forwarded to the chemists
as a result of a conference by DR..
| D. G. Shelton, of this county,
with a number of Chattanooga
physicians. Every known test
to detect poison was applied and
the result was that milk and but
ter of the kind submitted could be
consumed without danger. The
question is, where the poison
which caused the deaths of three
in this place in one week can have
gone to, and if it still exists there
what is it. DR.. Shelton proposes
as soon as vegetation appears in
spring to enter upon a collection
of the flora of the infected regions
and submit them to careful
tests in order to find the poison.
if possible, this way. 1t is a
problem which is still unsolved
and upon it's solving depends the
successful treatment of future
cases which may occur. 1t is the
opinion of DR.. Shelton that a new
poison is created in the stomach
after a certain chemical power,
or poison, if you so will to call it,
is taken in byeating or drinking.
What this poison is it will take a
great deal of research and study
to discover. Baryta, product
of Veratrum Album, has been
mentioned as the poison causing
this trouble, but it produces eff
fects in the patient opposite to
those produced by the mysterious
milk poison. y

HONESTY ALWAYS
GOOD POLICY

D. C. Peck, of Jasper, is queer
old fellow. He is manager for
the hardware store of Kelly &
Peck, and if you want to get
some of the original things of
life said honestly and truthfully,
go and sit by his fire awhile and
talk to him and you will get
them. He ought to be in charge
of a Y. M. C. A. class.
Speaking about the way some
few people do in quoting the
statements of others without
making close verification, Mr.,
Peck said recently to a News re-
porter, who took it in open
mouthed:
II was born Aug. 30, 1861.
Nv father died December of
same year. My mother raised
me and | will say she was as
good a woman as ever lived. as |
saw it. She taught me to be
honest and truthful and all other
things that a good mother would
teach. | am in the hardware
business in the town of Jasper,
and would like to have the trade
of the people of the surrounding
country. Will deal with you
honorably and if should fail to
tell you the truth, come to me
and talk the matter over and not
to someone else. Come to me
first, and if you should fail to tell
me the truth, | will promise to
see you first.
