.. ANSWERING THE CALL"
The summer days are over.
The winter breezes blow,
The lovely fields of clover
Will soon be hid with snow.
The harvest and the reapers
Will soon be stored away
In barns and comfort houses,
The winter days to stay.
The hunter with his bugle
Will search DER vale and hill
The beautiful green foliage
Must lose its chlorophyl.
Days of damp and coldness
Must come and leaves must fall;
The fields and all the flowers
Must answer natures call.
As seasons come and vanish,
AS nations rise and fall,
Each man in every station
Is answering call.
The soldiers boys are going
To homes so far away,
To tell what they've been doing
In dear old Iowa.
We know not where our station,
We know not where we'll roam,
Where'er our country calls us
Well make it home1 sweet home.
'Tis sad to see US leave you,
'Tis hard to say good bye,
But we again shall see you
We know if we but try.
We're going to fight the Kaiser,
No one behind we'll lag,
Democracy must conquer,
We're fighting for our flag.

DEKALB COUNTY FARMERS
HEAR FOOD CROP PLANS
lSpecial Disnatch to The LonrnaIN

Especial Dispatch to The JOurnsD
DECATUR, Ca, April 14.-Friday
night more than two thousand farmers
in the school houses of ten militia dis
trict of DeKalb county heard business
men of Atlanta and Decatur, and from
the other towns of the county and sew
eral speakers from the colleges and uni
versities of this section explain the food
situation that now exists
Hooper Alexander, Prof Bender. of
Oglethorpe and about forty other speak
ers went out into the county and preach
ed the patriotism of the farm. The farm
ers were told that the greatest need of
the nation was food supplies for Ameri-
ca and Americas allies in Europe.
Reports coming into Decatur board OF
trade headquarters Saturday morning
showed that every school house was filled.
In many instances the speakers were
compelled to go out of doors because the
houses would not hold the crowds Of
farmers. Local committees in each sec
tton were organized. These men viii
see that every farm is used to it's limit
w. w. Mendenhall said that not farm
in the northern end of the country would
be allowed to lay idle this year.
Local seed exchanges were formed.
surplus supplies OF one seed VIII be eX-
changed for some other seed that the
farmer is short. Hundreds of bushels of
seed have been located and with the aid
of these local exchanges the farmers will
be able to secure many seeds that can
not now be had on the open market
The destitute white renter and the ne
gro farmers of the country are receiv-
ing the attention of these local commit
tees, and will be provided with seed as
fast as the seed is located.
1t is evident that the men of the rural
sections are back of the Chamberlain Sc
lective Consumption bill. They realize
the necessity of keeping their boys on
the farm. The farmer is ready and will
ing to do his duty, wherever it may be,
and they are willing to leave it to the
president in this crisis.
The situation now seems brighter. 1t
is only a question of financing the desti-
tute farmer until the first food crops
are in.
'In my trips over the county, talking
to farmers from every section, 1 find a
willingness TO all that can be DONE"
said Lovelace Eve, secretary, Saturday.
I'VE need the cooperation Of the business
men. There are many farmers facing
want because of the loss by the February
and March freezes. 1t is a question of
tiding these fellows over until the first
food crops of June are in. In some
places 1 find nothing in the homes and

Coroner Taylor Dead;
Had Some Funny Ideas
About Souls and Ladies

RICHMOND, Va. April 14.-Dr. Will
liam H. Taylor, aged eighty-two, former
state chemist, for a generation coroner
Of Richmond, died heer this afternoon.
He was celebrated as an amateur astron-
omer and quaint philosopher. He got
into a sharp controversy a few years
ago by expressing his opinion, in a
medical college class lecture. that the
soul, if there was one, resided in the
brain and possibly died with it.
Coroner Taylor, bachelor, got into
disfavor also with many persons who
resented his contention that the female
form is a misshapen and weakly con-
.ructed work of nature.

one different causes. Blame it on Con-
stipation, for this awful malady causes
all of these symptoms and leads TO the
worst diseases known to mankind.
Perhaps you feel that you have over

you have only gone from bad to worse.

at that time bombs were not discharged
by electricity contact.
