DEFENDING THE S0UTH'S
POSITION.

Stories are going about generally to
the effect that the South will hardly
be in position to fill its own food re
LQuirements the comingi fall and winter,
and during the next spring, if the pre-
carious conditions brought about by
the war continue to develop, and reach
. more acute stage than that at the
present.
The Baltimore Sun in quoting Mr..
Richard H. Edmonds, recites the facG
that while the South should grow 4
livery much larger grain crop and more
live stock than it does, still the South
is not at all a suppliant beggar. and
the following figures are given to sus.
tain the contention.

the wooden-headed British daministra-
ton from which might have been Z
serious crisis.
Nothing, for instance, would suit a
victorious Germany better than an in
dependent and defenseless ireland. In
,conceding such independence the Brit
ish Empire would practically cut its
own throat. With Ireland as naya
and military base, all the fictfons of the
u-boat party in Germany would CONC
tue Irish liberty" under German
occupation would make Cromwell's ex-
ploits look like the Red Cross work.
But, in spite of its utter irrelevance
to the war, this political impossibilitv
is brought up, irrespective of the fact
that the Irish themselves show that
they are not solid for any change of
government they can all accept. AS an
Irish Chief Justice, Lord Morris, once
said, the problem is that of the clever
est and most dishonest race in Europe
being governed by the most honest AMI
the most stupid. There is intelligent
irish exaggefation in that, for, like the

AIDING THE ENEMY.


Amid protest of patriotism and
loyalty to the flag, certain newspapers
in sympathy with the German side,
are resorting to the device of opening
back-fire upon the Allies. Presently.
when Washington has dealt with the
immediate questions of finance, figh,
ing and food, it will realize that these
are our Allies; and that such attacks
are, and are intended to be, attacks
upon the United States in order to give

'In the discussion of the food supply
auestion. little or no credit seems t!
be given in public discussion to tbs
fact that the South ships mere than
slO0, O00, 900 worth of early vegetables
and fruits to northern and western
markets. Florida alone has shipped t.
! the North and West since last Septem-
her nearly 10000 carloads of vegeta-
bles and fruits, and Virginia, the Caro-
! lines, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas AMI
ether states are all heavy shippers OF
vegetables to the North and Wes'
largely increasing their food supply"
The further attention of the public
is called to the fact that the eottonseed
products have a total valuation OF
s3E0, 100000 annually, and its value as
food for man and beast is almos
beyond computation. Going into the
natter of cotton production further Mr.
Edmonds says:
The South's cotton crop is absolute
ly essential to provide the clothes with
Waich our soldiers, as we'll as our civ
ilian population are covered. 1t is
absolutely essential in the making OF
tents for the battlefelds, for the sails
of every ship which is still driven by
tie wind, for the bandages and the
absorbent cotton in every private as
wei as army hospital. without cot
ton the world would be practically
without raiment, for wool does not
take it's place, and we would be with
out the tents to protect soldiers from
the weather. It's production is essen
tial for the manufacture of explosives
as we'll as for all the other varied in
terests into which it enters. To decry
the cotton crop as though its produc-
ton were an injury rather than an u1i-
speakable blessing to the nation is
short-sighted in the extreme, and cer-
tainly cotton should never, even by in
direct suggestions, be discredited by
the United States department of agri~
culture"
The figures and statements contained
in the foregninn clearly indicate t the. t :
the South is certainly a monarch in
the field of cotton, and we'll able to
take care of itself in other respects;
but the farmers and business. men OF
this country should leave no stone I'M
turned to increase the production not
only of cotton, but of food and feed for
man and beast-Augusta Chronicle

1.-The necessity for heartiest co-opera-
ton.
| Herbert Hoover, expert in the science
| o. saving food and of regulating the
supply of available food products to
the demands of the public, has taken
over the task of looking after ths
American people as regards this vital
ly important phase of the present sit
uation. His experience as head of the
relief commission in Belgium has pro
vided him with a knowledge that
should give his plans universal support
and consideration at the hands of the
general public.
Hoover realizes that the production
+ food is by no means the only factor
to be considered in tn e economic
scheme of things. He knows that con-
servation of food supplies, the elimina-
+tion of extravaganza and of wanton
waste, must also be contributing agen-
cies in the plan to prevent serious
consequences as far as the condition
OF the family larder is concerned.
AS means of thoroughly arousinf
the American people to the necessity
for cooperation along this line, Sun
day, July 1st, has been designated as
Food Saving Day" On that day it is
proposed to have delivered in the
churches throughout the land, eXhor-
tations to the people urging them TO
use the utmust care in the operation
of the domestic establishment, so thai
the wastage of food may be as far as
possible eliminated.
Food Saving Day. will bring to the
attention of housewives in every Sec
ton of the United States the absolute
necessity for stopping the small leaks
through which the food supply is grad
ually seeping away, fulfilling no use
full purpose and diminishing the avail
able resources upon which the ma
tion depends for the success of its
struggle against German militarism
1t is the housewives of the land that
Food Saving Day" is expected to
reach first of all, but the kitchen is
by no means the only place where con-
servation of food may be probably
practiced. Every man, woman and child
is urged to assist in this campaigr
which affects the very life of the indi
vidual as well as the welfare of the
nation.
The nationwide appeal that will be
made on next Sunday will serve to
place before the public in unmistake
able terms, the proposition which of

Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many q Sufferer in Maysville

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well If the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off when
the kidneys are well, are retained in
the body when the kidneys are disor-
dered. If the kidneys and bladder be-
come infamed and swollen worse
troubles may quickly follow. This is
often the cause of bearing-down pains,
lameness, backache, etc.. Uric pois-
oning is also frequent cause Of head
aches, dizzy spells, languor, nervous
ness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
