Enemy Trading Act Further
TightenS Up on Germany
and Her Allies

WASHINGTON. Oct ia censor
ship of mails leaving this country is
being planned today. Under the presi-
dents proclamation, putting the enemy
trading law into operation. George Creel
is considering measures FOR stopping
military information leaking through
letters.
Issuance of licenses to foreign Ian
guage newspapers also is under way. At
the first signs of disloyalty these or
gans will be curbed.
The president has under advisement
appointment of a custodian Of alien
property, another feature of the new law.
This official may transfer to himself
any money, property or lien owned by
an enemy. Many Germans are expected
in self protection, to place their property
under the custodian's powers. He will
retain title TO IT for duration Of the war
The enemy trading law further tight
ems the strings around Germany. BY
presidential proclamation the exports
council becomes the war trade board
with Vance Mccormick still chairman
A special committee will censor out
going mail and radio ana cable mes
sages.
The law shuts down on trade with
Germany or her allies; gives power to
stop trading with countries openly aid
ing Germany and guards war patents.

Realizing this we may we'll take coun-

The way now. as Mr.. Bryan states is
the road straight ahead.
when conclusions are reached we
must be prepared to do our part in de-
vising plans whereby such a world
calamity shall not occur again.
SLOWLY, but steadily, the nations Of
the earth were moving up the incline Of
progress.
Suddenly a giant among them strad-
dies across their pathway, turns upon
them, and declares that none but he shall
proceed.
There are thousands of roads leading
to the heights and each nation Is priv
ileged to choose it's own. But the over
lord Of the earth would obstruct all
roads but his own: crush those who
would not turn back; ruin, destroy and
slaughter all who would contend for
their rights; and proceed to dominate
the world. Self-respecting peoples ev-
erywhere must meet that assumption
Our companions in that enterprise re-
sist, as we must, and claim the right
of every state and every people, to go
forward in their own way, there being
room for all. a pathway for each. in the
steady climb to the ultimate level where
shines unobstructed the light of the JUS

sTOCKBR|DGE BEHIND
NEW LIBERTY LOAN
Editor of Southern RuraIiSt
ReCantS Statement He viii
Oppose the Issue

DIR. H. E. Stockbridge. president of
the National Farmers congress and edi-
tor of the Southern Ruralist, who some
weeks ago indicated that he would urge
farmers not to support the second Lib
erty bond issue. Saturday telegraphed
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that
he is now convinced that 80 long as
the purchase of bonds is the only avail
able means by which stay at homes may
bonds becomes a patriotic duty which
the Ruralist urges upon it's readers"
DR.. Stockbridge's statement that he
would oppose the bond issue was made
to Secretary McAdoo on the ANNOUNCED
belief that the government, in increas-
ing second-class mail rates, was unfair
to farm papers. Now, however. 1t is
made plain that the Ruralist will stand
solidly behind the second Liberty bond
issue as it did behind the first.
HOPES FOR SUCCESS.
The leading editorial of the current is
sue Of the Ruralist, says now that a
second great issue of bonds has been
offered the public as the only immediate
source Of revenue for meeting war ex-
penses we hope for il success, realizing
that it's failure so late would hazard
the success of our military movements
and Jeopardize the lives of the boys who
offer all to their country at her call"
He told Secretary McAdoo that his
plea for support of the bond issue will
reach over three hundred thousand farm
homes.
While his editorial rings with a pa
triotic appeal, DR.. Stockbridg says
that he favors other methods of rails
ing revenue. He describes the "contin-
ued resort to bond issues" as "but
make-shift stop-gap justified only as
war emergency measure" He says he
favors transcription of wealth" as even
more. justifiable than the calling of
men.
DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN"
Dr. Stockbridge puts 1t plainly up 20
his readers that 1t is the duty of ev-
cry citizen "to bear his fair share OF
the burden-either to fight or to pay"
He begins his editorial. which is head
ed Paying the War Bill" by saying:
1.-THE reality of war becomes greater
day by day. The fact of its presence Is
accepted with patriotic approval by the
overwhelming majority of the American
people That 1t must be fought to a
successful end, whatever the sacrifice, Is
the national determination. Money, men
and brain must not be stinted nor spar
ed in this struggle for national honor.
security and world democracy"
He state that the Ruralist has stood
from the very beginning, "for the ad-
ministration, for humanity, for democ-
racy. for war"

It's all out there at Lakewood,
buildings filled to bursting with Dixie
products, barns crammed with cattle

booths and bankers and screams from

stepping lightly around the red race

and hot dogs in the air. and people and
yet more people, flocking back and
forth in the bright October sunshine
from wonder to wonder. to form the
greatest crowd that ever attended an
exposition in the south.

which is expected to draw the biggest
crowd of them all.

saw" declared Colonel Joe Todd, OF
Oakland. Ga, who ought to know, see
ing as he has thirteen children living
and fifty grandchildren and has been
attending fairs with all of them since
the oldest was young enough to de-
mand his first ticket TO a side show.
COlonel rod brought part or his
family from Oakland Monday and spent
the entire day at Lakewood. no small
part of that time strolling UP and
down the midway, where he was in

rapher took their picture, and let her
pat him on the cheek and everythingl
Next to Emma, Colonel Todd declared
he liked the automobile show best.
There. after inspecting every make OF
car from a flivver to a luxurious limou-
sine, he declared himself in favor Of a
purple-colored palace on wheels, with
white wheels and low racing seat. He
said he could lie down in her and cut
her loose which was what he had been
wanting to do since he bought him q
Ford and got bit by the speed bug.
The automobile show is indeed worth
anybody's while. 1t Is located IN the
