Terrible Lessons
OF Europe Noted.

Your committee feels that 1T
cannont close its report without
further emphasizing the fast
with which we are confronted,
that we must gather from the
experience of the terrible lessons
that all of Europe has gained IN
the bast three years Of this great
struggle, the absolute necessity
for rigid economy in persona and
stock food consumption, and that
such lessons be brought directly
home to every citizen of Tennes-
see.
I'm the words of our President
in his message to congress,
There are, it may be, MANY
months of fiery trial and sacri-
flce ahead OF US. TO such a task
we can dedicate our lives and our
fortunes, everything that we are
and everything that we have
with the pride Of those who know
that the day has come when A.
merica is privileged to spend her
blood and her might for the prin-
ciples that gave her birth and
happiness of the peace which she
has treasured. God helying her,
she can do no other" " And that
we in accordance with that SOL
emn charge laid upon US, bring
this so home to the people OF
Tennessee that in this time Of
trial hey will not be found want
ing.

All Available
Ground Must Be Used.

Ground Must Be Used.

people, your committee would
suggest:

tion in food products and mater

ry.

ests food production and home

reaching out Into the country
within their city trade territory
and bringing home to every mer-
chant, farmer, man, woman and
child their country's necessity
and their personal obligations at
this time.
Fourth. A most careful con-
servation of all present food and
of future food stocks produced
by their efforts.
Fifth. A utilization of all
idle labor and strict enforcement
of present laws against vagrancy
and losses resulting from such
source.
Succession Of Garden
Crops Suggested.
To the country and village
home comprising the second
gnap your committee would sug-
geSt:
"First. By planting a garden
for present use and to continue
to plant a succession of garden
crops throughout the year, en-
phssizing especially the staple
food. crops suitable for immedi-
ate consumption and preserve
the surplus for canning.

sible, keep poultry, a COW and
pigs and to further economic by
using whole wheat flour and
whole corn meal, which can be
locally produced.
Third. To safeguard the
winter requirements by proper

Immediate Necessity
OF Taking Stock.

That all business interests,
merchants interests and land
lords of every character be i'm
pressed with the immediate nee
essity of taking stock of their
community as to its food supply

One day MT. Smith went to buy a bushel of buckwheat for sowing. The man who sold the wheat was away, but his wife undertook to wait on the customer. She found a peck measure, and they went to the granary.
 She filled the measure twice, poured the contents into the bag, and began to tie it up.
 But, Mrs Lawson,' said the man, ''it takes four pecks to make a bushel."
 "Oh, does it?" replied the woman, as she united the bag. "Well, you see 1 never had any experience in measuring grain before I married Mir. Lawson. always taught school"

AMERICAN AVIATORS
 FIGHT FOR 10 HOURS
Lufberry Hero of Day-His Ma chine Had IF Bullet Holes in it, But Plucky Aviator Es- capped Unhurt.

Paris, Aug. 19.-Aeriai battles on a tremendous scale, beginning early in the morning and continuing until long after dark, characterized the most strenuous day the Lafayette Esca- .drille has had since it's return from the Verdun sector, the scene of is earliest triumphs. For 16 hours on Friday the American airmen were Ialmost continually at grips with the enemy up among the clouds.
 In the whole history of the unit there has never been so widespread, daring, effective activity within a like period of time. Eighteen machines were aloft during the day and 12 sep arate combats were fought, resulting in the forcing to earth of at least four German plares, two of which were probably destroyed and their pilots killed.
 The principal actor in the really thrilling drama of the skies was the escadrille's ace, Lieut.. Raoul Luf- berry, holder of the Legion of Honor ribbon, military medals both from the French and British and the war cross. 1 Lufberry sailed forth four times. He had two solitary fights, in which his ! lightning dives drove the foe to swift retreat. probably resulting in the loss of one German machine Then, when ] the heavens were black save for a few glimmering stars, the young New Englander, with Walter Lowell and E. O. Parsons, engaged five German bi- planes and fought six battles with them in half an hour. Lowell and Parsons kept three enemy craft busy, while Lufberry, single-handed, grap- pied with the other two. The odds really were more than three to one, for in each German machine two foe men opposed the American onslaught, making 10 Boches against three Yam kees.
 Their machine guns necessarily spraying the German fliers with leaden death, the Lafayette boys, swinging, dipping, circling, volplan- ing over, under and around their ad versaries, steadily forced them back behind the enemy lines until the en- gagements were broken off 25 miles in Germany" by the disappearance of three biplanes.
 Lufberrys machine had 12 bullet holes in the fusillade, but Parsons and Lowell escaped scot free.
