thousands OF acres for army meneu-
vers, with ranges for rife practice;
not only for the ordinary army rife,
but for the artillery.
Thus, it will be seen that the! place
chosen for the cantonment, Of itself,
will suddenly become a city OF no
small proportions.
From a FninciaI Standpoint.
The financial aspect of the situa.
tien. for a town of a few thousand
Inhabitants. looms up large. The pay
roll Of the men will approximate a
million and a half a month, by fan
the greater proportion of which viii
be spent in the town beside which the
cantonment is located.
What a million a month dropped
in the tills OF the business houses

aires, the confectioneries. hi dry
goods and clothing houses as a result
Of the visiting Of thousands of non
residents-would work wonders in the
commercial channels OF a city.
The Twin Evils.
Based upon the experience of theil
own armies and observations in othel
countries, the American army oficials
seem to haze reached the conclusion
that the two big factors which tent
to reduce the efficiency of a modern
army may be summed up in fou,
words: whisky and bad women.
Hence, the desire of the modern
army mantle American arrny MAJ
lis to place the cantonments wher,
these twin evils will be reduced to tn,
minimum.
The morals of a town, therefore
with respect to these features, ma.
have more bearing upon the selection
of a site than the average man is il
clined to concede.
In these respects, it is believed tina

1t is clearly shown that the peo-
pie do not want a referendum be-
fore war is declared between the
United States and Germany. The
people have confidence in the pres
ident, his cabinet and congress.
They are our representatives, and
being on the ground and more fa-
miliar with the conditions are bet
ter prepared to say what should
be done. If left to the people,
sentiment would largely control
their votes. While few people
really want war, yet they recog-
nize that conditions may become
such that we will be forced into a
conflict. Having confidence in the
president and his advisors the peo-
pie will be governed by their judg-
ment and support the government
in whatever action it take.

Flirting

The first question a man asks
when he sees a girl flirting is
whether she is a respectable girl or
not. You see how it raises doubt
at. once. This being the case,
surely no modest girl can afford
the slightest degree Of this pastime.
When the down is brushed from a
peach the beauty is married that
can never be restored, and so when
a young girl throws lightly aside

Farm Accounts

A number of ways in which far
mers may use a diary in keeping
accounts Of their farm business are
suggested in a new Farmers Bulle-
tin, No. 782, prepared by the Of
fee of Farm Management, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Many successful farmers, it is said
have found that a diary is sufficient
to enable them to keep track OF
their affairs without compelling
them to devote an undue amount
of time to elaborate. accounts.
There are two classes of records in
which farmers are particularly
interested: % Receipts and eX-
penditures; and (2) the records OF
work and production, such as the
dates Of planting and harvesting,
crop yields, livestock feed, etc.
In many cases the diary has been
found to be the most convenient
means of keeping these records.
The new bulletin contains a num-
Der Of blank forms and other in
formation in regard 10 the use Of
the diary in this connection.

about it and the mail order man

induces the buyer to send the order

Obituary

Mrs. Sallie McAdoo was born
October 10, 1912. and departed
this life February 10, 1917, aged
Is years, 4>months and . DAYS.
She was married in early life to
Uephas McAdoo. To this union
were born seven children, her bus,
band with four children preceding
her to the grave.
She embraced a hope in Christ
in early life and united with the
Presbyterian church and lived
faithful until death.
Surrounded by friends and loved
ones, and after loving hands had
done all they could to relieve her
suffering, death claimed her as bis
own.
She closed her eyes to all that is
earthly and looked triumphantly
into that celestial city, and her
spirit was waited away by the
angelic host to the God who
gave it.
She was laid to rest at the Nc
Adoo graveyard Friday afternoon
in the presence of large, sorrow
ing crowd.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. 5. H. Allen and Rev. E.
II. Martin.
The pallbearers were her six
nephews, brother opposite brother,
Nath and Add Peoples, Wright
and Jim Smith, Joe and Grover
Hazelrigg
All, Aunt Sallie we loved you,
we loved you so; no more will we
see the smiles that so often greeted
US, no more will we hear the words
of love: never more will the load
of care or the bitter cup of sor-i
row come to her again.
No, No, she is at rest now,
flowers will grow from her grave
to give fresh fragrance to the liv-
ing world, and around it the beau
tiful plumed song birds will sing
there sweetly, and the closing shade
of evening as it falls into the dark
pail of the night will be enlivened
by the last notes OF the evening
songSter as it sings the drowsy
day to rest.
The rain and sunshine of sum-
mer will fall upon it, the snow and
bitter blasts of winter; still she is
at rest; she is in the hands Of Him
that created man, so we see the
Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away. He, whom thousand years
are as yesterday, when it is past.
Now, we would say to the
brother, sister, children and grand
children, weep not as those who
have no hope, for when the shad-
ows shall have fallen and we cross
the great divide, we will meet her
again in the sweet bye and bye,
where there is nothing to mar the
happiness of Gods people, there
to sing Gods praises forever more.

The farmers of this county are
going to plant Il large cotton crop
this year. The high prices that
obtained last fall have set them
wild and a big crop will be the re-
suit. OF course the acreage in
Carroll county, whether small or
large, will have little to do with
fixing the price, but our farmers
should not plant cotton to the ex-
clusion of other crops. If they
raise all cotton and the price should
be low, and high prices should
have to be paid for corn, meat, hay
and wheat, they will be found in a
very serious condition. The price
of cotton is uncertain and these
other things must be had. The
safer plan is to diversity your
crop. Raise plenty of those things
you must have and then all the cot
ton you can. This is the safer
plan.

FREE ADVERTISING

FREE ADV Eli lIolNU
One Of the best articles on the
subject OF what may Justly De
termed grafters after the newspa-
perman's stock in trade, appeared
recently in The Editorial, the state
ments being credited to the De-
troit Herald:
Nobody ever thinks of going to
the coal dealer and asking him to
send little coal up to the church
or lodge room to heat up the build
ing for a meeting or entertainment
Nor does one ask the ice cream
man to donate ice cream, nor does
one suggest that the electric light
company furnish lights for the oc-
casion. But people often express
surprise and resentment if the
newspaper man asks remuneratiqa
for an advertising notice relative
to aforesaid meeting or entertain
ment.
Ifthe coal dealer or the ice cream
man or the electric light company
should voluntarily donate such coal,
ice cream or lights, the recipients
thereof would be exceeding CRATE
full, would probably instruct the
newspaper man to ran a free no
tice telling the public all about the
generosity of aforesaid coal dealer,
ice cream man or electrict light
company. But nobody runs a no
tice eulogizing the generosity of
the newspaper man. For free adj

natural gift.
The editor very gladly gives a
certain amount of complimentary
space to charitable o3and other or
CARNATIONS weekly. He gives this
freely, to the exact limit of space
available. This complimentary SER
vice means work for the compost
tor and work for the makeup man.
It is work absolutely without hope
of reward. And there is in this
community, persons so devoid of
appreciation of courtesies extended
that not only do they fail to ex-
press gratitude for favors shown,
but on occasion feel it incumbent
upon themselves to bawl out the
editor if perchance he does moi al

Everybody hopes to see the big
war end without this country be-
coming involved. 1t is possible,
however, for US to get into the
conflict. Our leaders are doing
all, it seems, that can be done to
maintain peace with honor. We
are likely to be forced into the
fight at any time. We are on the
brink of war with Germany and
an overt act may at any time bring
on the clash. The conditions are
SO strained that we cannot figure
ahead with any degree Of certainty.
The papers are scanned closely
each morning to see if any Of our
vessels have been sunk the day be-
fore, knowing the probability of
such an act and its serious results.
These are strenuous times and the
