lnd4cations are that hogs win sell
Tor higher prices next winter than

IN pork production. Most of these
crops ara planted In the spring. Corn.

Opal fAn grazing crops.

One of the most serious matter
in discussion in time of war is that
of wanting to suppress the manu-
facture of liquors and beer This
would throw out of employment
an army of men not fit for war du-
ty, put idle millions worth of pro.
perty and reduce the revenues of
the nation, the states and every
city and town in the country de-
irving large revenue from that
source. The destruction of this
industry will mean extra taxation

War Time And Loyalty Time.
Forgetful of This One LAFAYETTE
Citizen Narrowly Missed Get.
ting a Term in Federal Pri-
son.

That this is war time and loyal.
ty time was yesterday emphatical.
ly impressed upon one LAFAYETTE
citizen. Here is the story as told
by Chief Chargois:
"A certain young man, resident
of this city, was in the Gordon
Hotel. A discussion of the war
came. up, whereupon the said
young man launched into a TRADE
against President Wilson and de.
clared that the Germans were
right.
1t so happened that Special
Agent Pendleton of the U. S. De.
partment of Justice was in the no.
tel lobby. having come for a pri-
soner charged with impersonating
a United States officer. Agent
Pendleton promptly collared the
young man, placed him under ar.
rest and was going to take him to
New Orleans with him as prisoner.
Startled and alarmed at his predi.
cament the young man burst into
tears and tried to beg off, but
would not have succeeded had it
not been for the earnest interces.
'ion and pleading of a number of
citizens. In releasing him Agent
Pendleton remarked, Young man,
you have narrowly escaped six
year term in the federal prison at
Atlanta for treason" He then re.
luested Chief Chargois to keep a
lose watch on him and at the
irst disparaging remark or dis
oyal act, arrest him and notify
he department of justice. He
urther instructed Chief Chargois
o arrest instantly any and all per-
ons guilty of disloyal remarks or
cts.
This young mans experience is
warning to all to be careful of
peech. You may not be disloyal
'or intend disloyalty, but careless
peech may land you in Jail, SO
'ear constantly in mind that this
5 war time and loyalty time.
In short while Agent Pendle-
OIL will return, Chief Chargois
ays, to take all the guns and
'eapons away from Germans here.

map he carried over with him.
''Our battalion, the 38th, contained
about ten per cent Americans. The
legion has gone to reinforce other bat

The committee today added a new

that he will call it up for action tomor-

Kitchin said he thought there would
be about two days of general debate.
The rich man must pay heavily, but
the burden is proportionately distribut-

measure is not sufficient to carry out
