Withstand much longer The ponder
osity of force being thrown against
the kaiser.
The end will come, it must come,
and the answer as to when peace
will b declared is so fraught with
vital importance to the entire hui
man family, it is sought with such
eagerness, anxiety, fear and hope,
that the nervous system Of the hu-
man family is growing wire-drawn
and sensitive.
Never before il all history has
there been felt on a common sub
iect such a concentrated interest
and BY so large a proportion of
the earth's population.
People at the beginning of the
war used to think a great deal
about when it would end and bets
we're freely exchanged. No one,
not even thess!men best vested in
the strength of nation thought for
a minute that Germany could hold
out for long against such an alli-
ance. Yet the days and weeks and
months have passed, three years
have been reckoned with, and we
are not in a position to even spec
ulate the beginning of the end.
Science with all Of its nice pow
ers Of gigantic calculation can pre-.
dictate the end of the world more
accurately than any one living car
foretell the end Of the war. Slowly
as the laws of nature act, mighty
as the period given to the life of 9
man or nation it is insignificant
they are far more easy to attempt
to solve than the problem of The
wars end.
Wise men no longer venture 8

thoughtfully preparing for dura
ton of many, many days. The

Food Conversation

AS chairman of County Council
of Defense, / am calling attention
TO the food conservation campaign
which is being put on in every
state in the nation. By the help
of Divine Providence and our own
efforts we have been able to pro-
duce bountiful crops and it is only
fitting but the logical time to wage
just such a campaign as this.
We are calling upon every fam
ily to be ready to pledge itself to
economic in the use and consump-
ton of our food and feed products.
The saving Of a small amount on
the part of each family will mean
the saving of much for us all. 1t
does not mean eat less, but waste
less.
We are calling upon the chair
men and chairwomen of all the To-
cal and community organizations,
teachers and preachers to assist in
this noble work to the end that
when the week of October 2l-2S
comes every one will be ready to
sign the cards. Be agitating this
matter in your communities SO
that everyone will be ready to help
put on a definite, effective cam
paign when definite plans are de-
cided upon and sent to you.
Remember, the week Of October
21-28 is the week to sign these
cards and we are exceedingly anx-
ious that Carroll county will show
its patriotism and its interest in
the boys in the trenches by will
iDgly and readily signing these
cards.

END OF THE WAR

It would be as wise TO number
the grains of sand on The sea as it
would be to attempt to number the
span Of days which separates US
from eventual peace.
Yet this is one of the grayest
problems the world has before it
today, and unquestionably the
greatest the world will puzzle over
for years to come.
When will the war be ended!
No human mind can conjecture
the possibilities that will lead to
the consnmmation so deyoutly to
be desired. The prophets are
hustled. Now and then, for the
sake of keeping lis name before
the public, some unheralded wise
man will give the public the ben
eft of his predictions. No one can
SAY when the war will end. 1t is
The general hope that The end will
come quickly. Washington does
NOT anticipate an early end, 9th
ers do not see how Germany can

HISTORIC CONGRESS

The congress that adjourned last
Saturday has no historic precedent.
1t made history as no congress
ever did. II is without PRECEDENT
not only in this country, but in
the history of democracies. The
transition from conditions of peace
to those of war has been marked
and viii stand out as an epoch in
the history of the world.
The committee on public infor-
nation gives interesting details Of
the nations achievements since
the declaration of war six months
ago.
American industry and the
people of the entire nation" the
statement says, answered speed
ily and efficiently the call to arms.
Six months from the day war was
declared finds the United States
modified for the supreme task
ahead.n
Congress. the committees re-
sumo says, has enacted more inn
portant legislation during the ex-
traordinary session ending Satur-
day than in any preceding session
in history.
Referring to the war depart
ment, the committee notes that
without accident or disaster large
expeditionary force has been sent
to France. More than 100000
drafted men and national guards
men are under training and the
army has $4,000 trained officers,
instead of 10000 six months ago.
THE general staff" says the
statement, lis undermining the en-
tire army, unit by unit, in addi-
ton to fitting out the Pershing ex-
petition along entirely new lines.
Development Of the Liberty
motor, which has withstood every
aviation engine test, is one Of the
major achievements OF the war de-
partment and the aircraft pro-
duction board. This was followed
by the designing of standard
military truck.
Many obstacles have been over
come by both the ordinance bureau
and the quartermaster corps.
American industry was forced sud-
denly TO expand to meet war ord
ers for ammunition, guns, cloth
ing and supplies. 1t has responded
well.n
Under supervision Of the engi-
neering department United
States locomotive" was built in 81
days; 81 more have been completed
and four shipped to France.
Referring to the navy, the state
ment says there are now more than
three times as many men ndnearly
three times as may vessels in ser
vice as whea war was declared.

DR.. WILLIAM II. WRIGHT
One OF lluntingdon's Best Citizens
has Passed Away

Last Saturday evening at Z
o'clock DR.. William Moore Wright
died at his home on West Paris
surrounded by his family
and friends. DR.. Wright had
been in failing health for some
time but was confined to his home
only about two weeks. His death
cane from age and a complete
breakdown. There seemed to be
no special malady, and but little
suffering, just a going out of a
useful and active life, All his
children we're with him during his
illness and friends were attentive
at his bedside.
DIR. Wright was born November
6, 1888, at Liberty, Tenn, being
the son of DR.. Ebenezer and Olivia
A. Wright. When very young
he came with his parents to Hunt
ingdon. His father practiced
medicine here for number of
years, dying suddenly in 1860.
DIR. Wright after having COM
menced reading medicine under
his father, continued bis studies,
after his fathers death, in st.
Louis, Mo-, under eminent physi-
clans until the early part Of 1862
when he entered the Confederate
army. He was commissioned as
sistant surgeon and assigned to
duty in the hospitals of Nashville,
Atlanta and Augusta, Ga, with
DIR. Paul F. Eve until the close Of
the war.
After the war he completed his
course in medicine, receiving his
degree from the Missouri Medical
College, St. Louis, with the class
of 1869-70. Since that time he
has practiced medicine in Hunt
ingdon. AS a physician he was
eminently successful and justly
considered one of the ablest in
West Tennessee.
DR.. Wright was member Of
the Tennessee Constitutional Con-
ventiop in 1870; was superintend-
ent Of prisons for Tennessee from
1871 to 1875; was a trustee of the
Tennessee Hospital for the insane
near Nashville from 1875 to 1879,
and was a trustee Of the West
Tennessee Hospital for the insane
near Bolivar from its establish
ment until Il few years ago he re-
signed, not being able to give his
attention to the institution. He
was a delegate from Tennessee to
/ the National Prison Congress at
Baltimore in 1872 and at St. Louis
in 1873, and was delegate to the
national democratic convention at
St. Louis in 1876.
DIR. Wright took an active in
terest in the material development
OF his town and county, being a
| liberal contributor to all worthy
causes. He was always an active
school man, a progressive citizen
and true friend.
He was married October 6, 1870,
to Miss Charlie Erin Hanna, at
Paris, and his wife and five chill
dren survive him. His children
are, James Mcneil, Charles Han
ma, Will Eben and Thomas Nc
Neill Wright and Miss Olive
Wright. No community was ever
blessed with a happier and more
coGgenial family. An interesting
coincident is the fact that his death
came on the 47th anniversary of
bis marriage.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted Sunday afternoon at the
home in the presence of large
crowd Of relatives aud Sympathiz-
ing friends, many coming from a
distance. The services were held
on the front lawn, under the shad-
ows Of the stately pines he had
