Can Serve at Home:

Hundreds of farmers wilE.lay aside
selfish pursuits and offer their services
to their country for duty on the battle
field. Others who are just as brave
and loyal are so environed that active
service at the front is practically i'm
possible. But those who belong to this
latter class can serve at home by rails
ing food supplies. Large armies must
be supplied with wholesome food and
the people at home must also be pro-
vided for, and to do this will make II
necessary for our people to HUSBAND
their resources and grow every fooo
crop possible this year in as large
quantity as possible. The demand is
greater, while the reserve supplies are
nearly exhausted.
The severe winter injured a large
portion of the grain crops of the West
which will make it impossible for other
sections of the country to be fully sup
piled from that source. Therefore, il
behooyes Southern farmers, our Edge
field farmers included, to pay less at
tention to cotton and more attention te
corn, hay, potatoes. peas and othe'
like crops. The need for larger sup
ply is imperativeyand our: farmers mus
act at once in making their plans. II
more thanis needed for home consump
ton is grown on the farm, it can be
readily sold at profitable prices.
Serve your country by supplying the
necessities of life for the men at the
front and for their families at home.

Presidents Address Doing Its Work.

That matchless address of President
Wilson before Congress urging a de-
claration of war on Germany, which is
surpassed by few, if any, State docu-
ments, has been printed in full in the
leading German papers. At first, Ger
man officials objected to having this
address, which attacked the Prussian
autocracy and breathed of Democracy
in every sentence, given to the Ger
man people, fearing the result would
be a revolution, such as Russia has
experienced. But probably realizing
that it would finally reach the German
people by indirect sources, consent was
given to have it published, and already
the turning on of the light from Amer
lea is bearing fruit.
The Emperor, seeing the hand-wrl-
ting on the wall and in the hope OF
stemming the tide, has promised at
ter his warriors return from their
work" TO bring about certain reforms
that will give the people more power.
1t appears, however, that the people
will not wait until after the war to as
sert their rights. A few reverses on
the battle front and the continued
pinching of hunger will cause them to
rise en- masse, at least those not in
uniform, and demand the dethronement
of the Kaiser. Such an upheaval In
Germany would not be any nearer the
impossible than was the Russian revo-
luton.
The Presidents message is getting
in its work and will finally leaven the
whole German empire. Let US hope
that this golden day is not far distant.

Make One More Gun for Me.
Yes, sir, I fought with Jackson and
faced the fight with Lee,
But if this old Union goes to war, make
one more gun for me,
I was with them atManassas, the bully
boys in gray
And heard the thunder roaring round
Stonewall Jackson's way.
And many a time this gun of mine has
blazed the road for Lee,
But if this old nations in for fight,
make one more gun for me,
I'm not so full Of fighting, nor half so
full of fun,
AS was back in the Sixties, when l
was at Bull Run.
1t may be my hair is white-such things
you know must be
But if this old Unions in for fight,
make one more gun for me,
I haven't forgot my raising, nor how
in SiXty-two,
Or thereabouts, with battle shouts, we
charged the boys in blue.
1 say 1 fought with Stonewall and
fought them with Lee,
But if this old Unions in for war,
make one more gun for me.
