vertising his neutrality. The outer
walls of his house are decorated with
bas-reliefs of all the principal repre-
sentatives of the nations at war.
King George, the German Emperor,
President Poincare, the Sultan, the
Emperor of Austria, and President
Wilson are all to be seen in intimate
neighborliness.

KEEP PLANTS GOING

Washington, April 26.-It became
kncNa this afternoon that Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo will make a
second issue of certificates of indebt-
edness within the next ten days to
raise the second $2000O0,00O to be
used in the general plan for financing

1t is believed that this second loan
will go to Italy, because her factories
and ammunition plants are on the
verge Of being shut down for lack Of
coal. As soon as the certificates are
subscribed for and negotiations for
the loan to Italy completed, steps will
be taken to put certain seized German
vessels into commission. so as to
form a means of getting coal, the
main thing now needed, to Italian

Starving The Boil
Weevil on Wiley
Whitley's Farm

Capt, Jim Barrentine, in charge of
Wiley Whitleys Brigade on the farm,
are doing their bit" with mule and
piow and are following the we'll pre-
pared plans of the State College of
Agriculture and their patriotic duty in
planting the entire ITO acre farm in
food crops for man and beast.
There IS not stump on the entire
farm and every available foot Of
ground is made to grow some food
products. Near the house are his
seed beds and surrounding the entire
barn yard are rows Of butter beans.
A fine vegetable garden is ready to
supply the family with all the needed
table supplies and fine Jersy cows fur
nlsh the milk and butter for several
families. Nearby is field of rape in
which big drove OF hogs are fatten-
ing. Acres and acres OF corn, velvet
beans and peanuts, as far as the eye
can see, without sign OF grass and
the burrows as straight as an archi-
tect's line.
The plows carry two flags each and
the plowmen have that martial step
that comes with the knowledge of
doing their patriotic duty and doing
it well. No fear of the boil weevil
around that farm as not even vo1un-
teer stock of cotton was allowed to
remain on the place. Certain star
walton stares the poor weevil in the
face if it should lose itself in that
neighborhood.
Mr.. Barrentine pursues certain we'll
tried methods in his farming opera
tons and has his crop so arranged,
corn of various ages and kinds, beans
of the best known varieties and pea
nuts known to have the greatest
chance for success in this section.
Squashes and watermelons, he says,
were only planted for his friends and
the Farmers Social and Cooperative
Club.
| With reasonable seasons and the
present prices of food stuff and meat,
this farm will show large net gain
when the years work has been har-
vested.

r PLoW AND WORK FOR YOUR COUNTRY AS YOU'D FIGHT
CRISIS is IMMINENT SAYS
BRITISH FOOD CONTROLLER

London, April 25.-The British
public was solemnly warned today bv
Lord Davenport, the British food con-
troller, that the counrrys shipping
was being depleted daily in large vol
ume and that severe privations menac-
ed the nation before the next harvest
was reached
Lord Davenport's warning was is
sued in the house of lords in response
to a question of Lord Lamington as
to what success had attended the eff
forts at voluntary rationing and whe-
Their the government intended to re-
sort to compulsion.
Lord Davenport recited the extern
sive efforts being made by the press,
pulpit and schools, and also by local
committees, to impress on the com
munity the urgency of food restrict
ions.
IF our shipping resources were as
sured we could undoubtedly carry on,
but they are not assured" he con-
tinued. Our shipping is being de-
pleted every day in large volume and
although our existence depends there
upon, it is at the moment a wasting
security.
Unless we exercise suficiency of
self-denial in the consumption of
bread, l tell you the blunt truth, we
shall not get through the next har-
vest without severe privation."
