(From Thursdays Daily
Editor Daily Commonwealth:
Planting conditions have vastly i'm
proved during the past ten days.
l have this week travelled through

Most Of the crop, both of cotton and
corn, planted-much of it up to a
good stand. Many fields of corn work.
ed out and growing finely; some cot
ton also worked with side harrows.
Where stands are deficient a timely
rain will insure a stand. If such a
rain as fell here last night was gen
eral, this desirable result is secure.
Some fields have been replanted. The
wheat crop is doing finely as a rule;
oats small; some few crops beginning
to head.
Gardens, though late Or account Of
adverse conditions early in the sea-
son, are now doing finely and not
much time will elapse before this
country will be abundantly supplied
with vegetables.
! am very glad too to report so
many really nice gardens at the negro
houses all over the country; not mere
~ growing collards and onions, but all
sorts of garden stuff-and especially
Irish potatoes; and this great food
product will no longer be an expensive
luxury, but will soon be abundant.

"Y0my Country
Needs You"

MANY man who sees or hears the
familiar slogan does so with a pang
of patriotic regret that age or physical
disqualification should eliminate him
from the throng presenting themselves
before the recruiting officer and find
ing acceptance as the material OF
which soldiers are made. A man OF
education who might offer himself
in candidacy for a commission as one
of 100000 officers needed, for 100000
men not older than 25 or &c who might
be included in the first CALL finds that
he is not eligible to be named sec
lieutenant after 80, or a first
lieutenant after Sc, or captain after
49, or major after As. His turn to
volunteer as a private will not be
reached, perhaps, till third of fourth
call, which may easily mean that he
will not be called out at all. He pins
his hope, it may be, on the dubious
possibility of an expeditionary force to
France, which is the dearest wish of
Colonel Roosevelt's heart. He feels
that if he cannot somehow serve in a
trench at the front behind a gun he is
futile. That is where the average
American of good red blood who
loves his country and whose house is
his castle makes a mistake He must
not disparage the ways of patriotic
service that are powderless and blood
less here at home. He can serve by
conserving; by augmenting the food
supply; by keeping down price and
increasing ar output; by stabilizing
his own business and restoring the
sobriety of the labor market; by de-
precating the hysteria that unsettles
finance and industry; by sacrifice
of his own pleasure and convenience
that the funds at the disposal of the
government may be enlarged. The

there is state law requiring that a
special annual tax of at least one mill
be levied for the upkeep of all roads

aminations were made, it was found
that in Lauderdale county, Mississippi,
roads built several years ago and
from the special fund have
actually improved since their compile

The county roads of Franklin county,
