lie Thought 1t Was Safe.

The late Bishop Dudley, of Ken.
lucky used to relate with much relish
an amusing experience that he once
had in connection with waffles At a
fine old Virginia homestead, where
he was frequent guest, the waffies
were always remarkably good.
One morning, as breakfast drew
near an end, the tidy little linen-coat-
ed black boy who served at table ap-
preached the bishop and asked in a
low voice:
"Bishop, won'ty' have 'n'er waffie?"
YES" said the genial bishop, 81
believe will"
"Dey aim no mo-" said the boy.
"WeI," exclaimed the surprised
gentleman, eff there aren't any more
waffles, what made you ask me if l
wanted another one?"
"Bisnop," exclaimed the boy, ''yo's
done e. ten already, and fought yeh
wouldn't want no mo'I"-The Youths

State in 1915 and at the same

was free from the disease. With
the quarantine removed, pow
derry scab seed potatoes came in
to Virginia from Maine, but so
far as known no pOwdery scab

this seed. The experiment sta

ton quantity of badly diseased
potatoes; it planted part of these
in the spring of 1916 at Norfolk,
part at Tasley Station in Acco-
mac county and placed the rest
in cold storage for falling plant
ing. The tubers we're cut into
seed pieces in the usual way but
were not treated to a disinfect-

both stations, and no sign what
ever of powdery scab. The seed
placed in cold storage was only
planted last fall. The plants
were frost-bitten November Is
and the tubers harvested Novem-

was to be found on the new crop,
although in each case the seed
was badly infected as no disin-
fectants were used. .

The Union of MOraIForCes'

We read and hear to-day a
great deal about organization.
There is an organization to pro-
mote agriculture. There is an
organization of our young men
under registration for an army.
There is organization every
where in the United States to
place liberty bonds. These are
all-important as we understand
that real efficiency to accomplish
a great purpose depends upon or
ganization. War also breeds
certain forms OF disorganization.
Mr.. Lincoln saw what would
follow the Civil War in the way
of organized greed. The blight
of the money craze has been upon
the country ever since because
the moral forces of the country
were not organized to combat it.
1t is necessary atthis time that
there should be a compact organ
ization of all moral influences in
THE United States to fight the
evils which will grow out of the
var. The church universal is
lne of the most potent influences
p fight evil. 1t cannot do it
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1917-06-20

successfully unless we forget
sectarian differences and theol-
ogy and present a united front
against evil. In peace times the
church has been responsible for
a great many evils which have
grown up in this country, be-
cause it has not been united
against all forms of wrong and
because its members have not
practiced in it's citizenship, what
it has been taught in Religion.
Christianity is more a matter of
living than of preaching. The
right kind of religion should not
only exercise an influence upon
the morals and character of its
members but it should by unit
ed organization of these mem
bers exercise a supreme infiu-
ence upon the country.
1t has not done so because it is
divided by petty jealousies and
sects. The evils of plumber, pill
lage, and graft are going to be
many times multiplied during
the war unless there is an organ
lied force to fight them. The
church universal could be made
the most powerful influence to
fight wrong and rascality. 1t
could draw to it hosts of honest
and true men who are not iden-
titled with any church. In other
words all the honest people of
this nation should stand together
under the banner of righteous
ness. 1t could dominate and de-
stroy all the forces of evil.
Along with the stars and stripes,
which represent our country,
there should go the cross of
Christ. The United States
should become a Christian nation
in fact, rather than in name.
Just as our army and our navy is
organized to protect our country
80 should all the moral forces be
organized to protect character
and civilization against evil, de-
hatchery and corruption.-E-

Two Million Men Needed
to Bind by Hand.

supply of binder Irvine and an
attempt to bind by hand with
straw, as did our forefathers,
would result in great demoraliza-
ton of our farm-labor market
and the consequent damage of
millions of bushels of grain left
unbound. 1t is inconceivable
that enough farm laborers could
be gotten, at any price, to bind
the crop without the aid of the
usual modern mechanical means.
As to the number of extra men
the harvest would require if the
binding had to be done by hand,
l quote the following from the
Office of the president of the In
ternational Harvester Company:
The binding attachments
could be removed from the har-
veSters, and two men, riding up
on the harvesters could bind the
grain as fast as cut and deliver
ed to them. As there are at
least a million binders in use an
nually in this country, and as it
would probably be found i'm
practicable to move men about
much for the varying harvest
seasons in different parts of the
country, it would take at least
two million men for this work"
The measure of the farmers
shortage under that preposter-
Gus addition to their force of
harvest Enthusiastically painfully
scarce-would indicate the pro-
portion of the crop that could be
bound.
In California, Oregon, Wash
ington and Western Idaho the
general practice is to cut with
h eaders, or to use combined
theaders and threshers.
In the grain regions of these
States it never rains in the fall,
so it is safe to leave grain in the
field NINTH longer, before cut
ing, than can be done in the
midwest and East, where it
would mean, on account of har-
vest rains, a serious loss of CROP
through lodging and Smelling out
The Far West will not be affect
ed by the Irvine shortage, though
the farmers there have troubles
of their own with their jute bags

NEW LAW IS CONFUSING
County Central Committee Sets April II for Democratic Primary

With only 3 members present the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee met at the courthouse this afternoon and called q primary cleo ton to be held on April Il for the purpose of nominating one county and two district delegates to the con- stitutiOnal convention. Little interest was shown in the meeting and the provisions of the new Brundidge elec- tion law adopted by the people last November seemed rather confusing
 Q most of the members.
 The meeting was called to order by the chairman, S. A. McHenry of Nagle township, Secretary William J. Drummer of Conway serving in his position. W. H. Hogan was elected io fill vacancy as committeeman of Wilson township, occasIoned by the death of J. J. Fortson.
 Resolutions calling the primary and providing for meeting of the committee on April 16 were introduc- ed by J. F. Raney of Benedict town ship and adopted. The committee then took a recess to select names .of three judges and two clerks and a full set of alternate judges and clerks to serve at the primary.
 At the hour of closing the forms .his afternoon the committee had not eomnlet d the selection of these of Gcials. Their names will appear in Mondays Log Cabin Democrat.
