farmed land in Maury county will DO.
Mr.. Murphy top-dressed this land with
stable manure and plowed it tour

rows and were cut with the corn,
The whole crop was put through the
shredder with the result that it aver

PROFITABLE PATRIOTISM.

In the war savings certificates the
TREASURY of the Tn ed States has OIL
fered a plan for saving that SHOULD
lappeal to both the spirit Of patriotism
land the sense of thrift Of the Ame'-
lean people. This plan gives the
Americans an opportunity to make
the most secure and most profitable
investment that they have ever know
and in making this investment the :
have at the same time the opportW
Iity to aid the nation in its grea
struggle with autocracy. 1t is rar
combination Of patriotism and thrift
War savings certificates TO the
amount of 5000 are to be .oftere'
| in Maury county during the coming
wear. This sounds like large sum,
| but there are probably 1000 white
families in. the county and if each
family should invest $500 in the GER
tificates the amount would be easily
obtained. There are $4,000 white peo-
pie in this county and if each one Of
them invested 500 in savings GER
tiiicate the amount would be oversub-
scribed l:,~ne times. A fifty dollar
certificate Tor each white person
would very large oversubscribe the
county's allotment. This should be an
easy matter. There are, or should be,
large numbers nf people who will take
the maximum allotment Of $1,000
each. Assuredy Maury county should
buy s1,000OOG worth of the certifi-
Gates. They are absolutely safe, be-
ing the direct obligation of the great
est and richest government on earth.
They Iear interest at four per cent
compounded every quarter, making
them highly desirable investment.
They cannot depreciate or appreciate
in value as their redemption at any
time at fixed value is provided for?
This war cannot be won without
money. This nation must have bill
lions of dollars to arm, squip and sup
port its fighting forces. 1t must
spend money as it was reyer expend-
ed UP before. Every dollar must come
from the people The government
creates no wealth. Every cent ex-
pended in this great contest for hu.
man freedom and civilization must be
obtained either by direct taxation or
through the sale of the obligations OF
the government. This has been the
most profitable year in the history of
Maury county. II is largely an agri-
cultural county and never before have
the harvests been more abundant or
the prices for products so high. The
war has added hundreds and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
pockets OF Maury county farmers.

pathies of men and women are
aioused, when those near and dear
t. us have been taken for onerous
and dangerous duty, we are very
much inclined to hysteria over rum
ors connected with operations of our
armies.
The State has been startled by the
report of the governor that condl-
tions at Camp Wheeler were bad, and
tnat they needed immediate atten-
tion on the part of the government.
II was said that the men lacked
proper clothing and that they were
compelled to live under unsanitary
conditions.
Naturally, this has raised a feel
ig of great apprehension among the
parents and friends of those VINO
went to the training camp from
Florida. We are sensitive over our
cwn. and nothing would arouse the
feelings of the State more than 10 be
convinced that the soldiers of the
State were not being well treated at
the camps.
There have been a few private let
ters from the boys in the training
camps that have made parents and
friends uneasy, ad the report of the
governor has added fuel to the flick
e-;ng flame.
But there is always another side to
every story, and now through re-
port from Governor Dorsey, of
Georgia, the government presents its
side.
The quartermaster generals office
at Atlanta gives out the following
figures Of issues of clothing to Camp
Wheeler, from the twenty-ninth of
October to the sixteenth of this
month, last Friday, bringing the
whole report down to very close

Great Strain on Railroads To Meet

is taking all the energy and re-

dent H. w. Miller, of the Southern
Railway System, in a statement is

necessity for continued cooperation
on the part of the public service
commissions and the public generally
in refraining from asking the rail-
roads for improvements or service
not absolutely essential for war pur-
poses or public safety.
