HOME. SWEET HOME!

The home, be it ever so humble,
is one sweet spot to which all eyes
are longingly turned, and from
which all happiness radiates.
The proud boast of the old Eng
lish common law is that "a mans
home is his castle" The four
winds of heaven may blow threw
its chinks and crannies, but the
king himself might not cross bis
threshold unbidden. Only laws
stern necessity in pursuit of crime
could authorize an unwelcome in
trusion.
The sanctity Of former times still
scrupulously surrounds it, and the
sacredness of its portals has been
but enhanced By the advancement
of civilization. The modern home
needs neither towers, battlements,
bastions to protect it from as
saults of the powerful. The hum
blest citizen to defend his lowly
shack can invoke the protecting
arm of the whole nation.
The governments of all the world
foster the love of home. Liberal
laws are enacted with this end in
view. The public domain is gen.
erously bestowed upon bonafde
settlers. The various states, with
out, we believe, a single exception,
have exempted the homes from
seizure for even a just debt. In
short, the protection and sacred.
ness Of the home goes side by side
with that. of the. person. 1t is the
commendable desire Of every
worthy citizen to be the owner of
his own home in fee simple, and
to encourage the desire have all
these beneicient laws been en-
acted. -Ex.

Big Potato Crop

The huge potato crop which the
federal forecast indicates will be
produced in the United States this
year means that this important
food staple will be cheaper and
makes it possible, says the United
States department of agriculture,
for American families that had to
cut down on potato consumption
because of high prices to restore
the tuber to a prominent place in
their bill of fare. 1t is estimated
that the crop will reach 467, 00O,-
900 bushels. The potato is con-
sidered next best to bread as a
food crop.

FRIDAY, AUGUST "a, 1917
AIDING THE KAISER

The time was when the pacifst
agitator in this country might
have been justiHable, but that time
has passed. Our nation is at war
with a powerful enemy and any
thing along that line now weakens
our cause and aids the kaiser.
Germany has many sympathizers
in this country. They are con-
stantly on the alert to find some
way to aid the kaiser without 90
ing to that country and fighting
for him.
There are Americans who at
heart have no sympathy with the
German cause, yet, unintention-
ally, perhaps, they in many ways,
aid the cause ofthe kaiser. They do
this by criticising the adminitras-
tion that has the management of
our end of the war, they are pro-
longing the war by nagging the
president and administration about
peace, they magnify the dangers
Of the war and discourage the
men who have been drafted into
the service, they are insisting that
we should not send our armies to-
France, but claim that we should
wait until Germany whips our al
lies and comes over here when we
will all fight.
Those who stand for America
should be careful what they say
and do that will in any way give
encouragement to the cause of the
kaiser. and those of this country
who are for the success of the
kaiser should hasten to Germany
and fight in the open for him.

Mr.. w. II. Kearney

On July 80, 1917, the death
angel visited our home and took
from us true husband and a kind
father, w. H. Kearney. He was
q years old. a member of the
Baptist church and an ex-confed-
crate soldier. He belonged to
Company l., Sixth Tennessee regi-
ment, and died true to the old
south and its cause.
We often wonder why we grieve
over the departure of dear father,
for we feel like all is we'll, and we
shall see him again in the great
beyond; yet there is that sweet,
sacred tie, that we can't help, but
to grieve over the separation, and
long to hear his voice again.
He bore his suffering so well,
and prayed God continually to be
with him in the last hours, and ]
feel assured that he was. For /
can now see that sweet, calm face
as death was claiming it's reward.
Without struggle or frown,
life seemed to pass away, will
ling. for he had said he did
not want to live and suffer as
he was, and he looked forward to
death with more pleasure than Of
fear.
We shall always love the men,
DRY of father, and ever long to see
that dear silver-haired pilgrim in
the evening time of life. trustful
of God, and reverently bowling his
head meekly in the presence Of his
great Affections and saying, mot
my will, but thine be done"

STRIKE ENDS

IRONW GOD, Mich, Aug. 8. -
The strike of miners in the Goge-
t5c range was called off today and
all strikers urged to return to
work.
The strike committee on Sunday
voted this action unanimously.
None of the strikers demands
were granted by the mining COM
panies.
A general strike of all miners
was called a week ago, affecting
5000 miners. Only about 500 OF
the men walked out.
All mines except the Colby and
Ironton mines continued workin0
large crews.
With the arrival of the Michf-
gan mounted constabulary and the
subsequent arrest of IA strike
leaders, the backl-le of the strike
was broken.
Since that time men have been
returning to work in large num-
bers each day.
