No ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

The announcement that the United
States will not enter into entangilng
alliances with European nations VIII
be read with evident relief by the
MANY Americans who believe IN the
sanctity of George Washington's adj
monition. The United States was
forced into this war by Germany, a
nation which repudiated its own
agreement and deliberately attacked
ships belonging in the United States.
Our country was compelled to draw
the sword for self probationary
this and nothing more. When its
purpose shall have been accomplished,
the mission Of the United States will
be at an end, and our nation will not
consider it obligatory to act in uni
son with others in destroying Ger
many or IN warning on autocracy or
any other European order of things.
Tie expression of General Grant,
after the surrender of the Army Of
Northern Virginia at AppomattoX-
"Het us have peace"-will go down the
ages. The south had been forced to
submit to the inevitable. The war
was over, and the great majority in
both sections of the country were
breathing easier. But some hot heads
in Congress desired to keep it going
by foisting carpetbag government and
bayonet rule upon the southern
people, the passage of force bills and
other reminders to this section that
their ambitions had been crushed and
thss, MISUNDERSTANDING they were
chained to thefvictor's chariot.
Similar conditions ARE likely to be
in evidence after Germany shall have
been forced to throw up the sponge.

Of SUPREME IMPORTANCE

"Our participation in the war
AGAINST Germany makes it more thah
ever important that every southern
farmer shall produce the FOODS anu
feedstuffs needed for the people anu
animals on his farm and surplus ior
colo" said President Fairfax HART
sun, Of the Southern Railway System
in Washington today.
avast quantities of foods and 1o'-
aoe will be required for our own
army and navy and for our ailles N
Europe. These requirements 1or car
r,,;ng on the war must be met, even
+hough our people at home nave 70
be nut on short rations. There IS
every reason to believe that prices
If foods and feedstuffs will be h'gn'
and while it is the patriotic duty OF
g erv Southern farmer to produce not
on,,, enough to supply himself ou'
a surplus for sale, he will find II pro-
f+,;.le 70 do so. 1t should be lmpos-
chile to find a farm anywhere IN the
south without home garden. Inc
armies and navies of the Uniteo
stats and our allies will require large
Quantities of meats and the meat sup
INV If me world is short. There Is no
mart OF the United States IN winch
meat can be produced more pfontao's
than il, the South, and every Soutferh
former should at once adopt the po-
licy Of Producing more than enough
meat 10 supply his own requirements
But however, high prices may co. ne
should not Weld to the temptation tc
sell his breeding animals. 1t is safe to
nredict that live stock prices VIII pe
high for years to come ard the farm,
or who parts with breeding animals
now will be cutting off large future
profits.
"Every movement for The encour.
anemen. OF the production OF 1000
crops and meats and for the pla'''
inc of home gardens on every 1arn'
and on vacant lots i'll the cities ana
towns should be encouraged. l kno"
Of no escncy hat can DO more IN tli's
ai,cciior than can the newspapers VI
the South. They can perform patri-
cite duty of the highest value to the
entire country, and especially TO tne
neople Of our own section, by impress
ing upon their readers day after day
and week after week the supreme I'M
portaace Of overlooking no opportuh-
itv to increase the production OF toods
and feedstutfs in the South. l am
confident that if every newspaper IN
the South will carry in each issue q
pointed and vigorous editorial on TINS
subject our problem Of feeding our
selves and doing our share towards
feeding our army and navy and tnoSe
of-our allies will be solved"

WRINKLES ALL
driven AWAY
Read What a Grandmother Says About
USit, the Wonderful Skin
Treatment.

"The bottle of Usit has completely
cleared my face Of the horrible
wrinkles that were such an eyesore to
my five daughters, and even my grand
children have their say about Grand
mas wrinkles. It is a Godsend TO
wrinkle suffering humanity"
It really seems to make no differ
ence whether wrinkles are due 10 ad-
vancing years, or other causes. When
Usit is regularly applied for a reason
able time they disappear. the skin re
gains its former smoothness, plump
ness and color and the youthful ap-
pearance returns. Usit is such a
splendid skin treatment that every
woman. old or young, ought to have
a bottle on her dressing table always.
II not only banishes wrinkles but il
keeps the skin soft and velvety sup
plying Just the nourishment required.
Rough skins are made smooth; sal
low, dry. faded compilations get back
their natural freshness from its use,
and it is also a fine treatment for
freckles, blackheads and many forms
of eczema.
n. B. Danforth and all other first
class dealers can supply Ust. It is
not a cream or paste, but pure nut
oil liquid. always put UP in bottles.
The formula for this truly wonderful
preparation came from Egypt where it
has been in use by famous beauties for
centuries. Usit is very daintily per-
fumed. guaranteed not to cause hair
growth, and the first few applications
will make such a difference in the
looks of your skin that you will be de-
lighted. 1t is only necessary to use
it at night before retiring.
