Your local newspaper is in no
sense a special child of charity.
1t earns every dollar it receives
and is second to no enterprise in
contributing to the unbuilding and
betterment of the town and CON-
munity. It's patrons reap far
more benefits from its pages than
its publisher and in calling for the
support of the community, it asks
no more than what in all fairness
belongs to it. Patronize your
home paper as you would any
other enterprise, as a matter of
business, because it directly or in
directly helps you. and not as q
matter of charity.-C E Miller in

fully pictures the horrors perpe-
trated by the Huns and expresses
surprise that there should be any

Surely" he writes, our peo-

Huns. Every young man ought
to be anxious to join the colors
and help put an end to the Hun
kaiser's outrages.
Thousands Of French and Bel
gian girls and women have given
birth to children as a result of the
outrages of German soldiers. The
Huns say they will train them to
be soldiers.
Thousands of old men, women,
boys and girls have been killed by
the German soldiers, who delight
in beheading, disembowling
shooting and burning in the terri
tory they have occupied.
If we don't win over here in

Women Are Eager to Serve.

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip. wife of
the President of the National City
Bank in New York, has been ex-
tremely active in war relief work,
both as worker herself and as
director of the thousand and one

Writing in the September issue
of Harper's Bazaar, now ready,
Mrs. Vanderlip makes this state

| (the main element in our best fer.
tilizer) to every acre thus treated,
so you can. have some idea as to
the cash value you are adding TO
every acre each year, besides. it
prevents your land from washing
in the winter and furnishes green
pasture in the late fall and early
spring. the times most needed.
You don't have to go to Osla-
hona, West Tennessee or Texas
to grow clover and alfalfa the
only difference is that they have
the lime already in the soil natu-
rally, and we have to apply it
here, but 1t only has to be done
about every three or four years,
and for this reason the State of
Mississippi has established a lime
stone crusher at Okolona, Miss },
and is selling the crushed lime
stone, ready to apply to the land,
to the Mississippi farmers at actual
cost, which is now only 60 cents
per ton, the freight to Iuka is 6S
cents, so q ton of it delivered f. o.
b.. luka, is only Sl.25 and this is
sufficient to line one acre. lwould
like to see S acres in clover on ev-
cry farm in Tishomingn county,
but plant one acre anyway as a
starter this fall and increase next
year. It will grow here all right.
for / have testedit out myself and
have some clover and alfalfa. both
now growing nicely, knee high
and over. and would be glad to
have you examine it at any time.
The best time to SOW for this lati
tude would be as early in Scptem-
Der as we have good season in the
ground, but you can SOW up to
October 25th with good results.
Where you have corn and cotton
growing you can sow between the
rows aad cover with a ge whiz
harrow, but apply some crushed
limestone or wood ashes to the soil
first to get the best results, and in
every instance thoroughly inocu-
late the seed either with prepared
cultures or soil from a geld where
clover has been growing success,
fully. Ask for circular giving full
instructions how to prepare the
land and how to treat the seed
with proper incubation.
If you don't intend to SOW clo-
yer or alfalfa, apply the lime to
the soil anyway, for it will help
your other crops of corn, cotton,
and most every other crop equally
as we'll. Tishomingo lands have
the foundation soil that will abso-
lutely hold what we put on them
in the way Of enrichment. so let's
put this enrichment ON them at the
very earliest possible date, and
hold it there by the aid of terraces,
and a good crop in winter to pre-
vent washing, and get out of that
habit of buying fertilizer every
spring to make crop on, just be-
cause we are too lazy to give our
soil little attention in the fall to
keep all the substance from wash
ing out of it during the winter.
Yours for better soils and big
ger crops,

Why We Must Fight

/ Sarah bernhafdt. writing or the
barbaritics and beastly lnsts of the
German invaders of Frances tells
a story Of horrors which though
known 10 many people IN this
country, brings clearly 10 light the
magnitude and the awful deprav
ity of the German brute and his
total disregard for the saercdncFs
of womanhood.
Ordinarily the details of the sto
ry would be too horrible to print,
but the country must need sacri
fice its modesty to truth that we
may know why America must
fight and why American men
must face the horrors of the bat
tlcfeld Of France to save the vir.
tuous womanhood OF this country
from like debauchery.
Madame Bernhardt says that in
the section of France occupied for
two years by Germans, but from
which they have been driven, that
country faces the problem of
what to do with at least 100, 900
children of vi olence--the babies OF
hatred, brutal fathersand of desc
Grated maids and wives. and when
the German is finally thrust from
France there will be other armies
of these children to be cared for"
In all the terrible pages of this
worst of wars she says. there
is none more tragic, more sinister,
more devilish than this that reg
listers the brand of bruta lity and
lust. and she asks what is to be
the fate of these little ones bcgot
ten by such brutes, borne by
mothers who necessarily lived III
an awful realization Of their agony.
and who hated their offsprings as
they hated their lustful brute
fathers.
These babies of hate is one of
Frances great problems. They
have been discussed in many of
the medical societies, and the qucs-
ton has been asked in France,
"what right have they to live 7"
Madame Bernhardt takes the po-
sition, however, that despite the
condition of their birth, they must
be cared for, but she would re-
move them Immediately from the
side of their mothers who should
never be allowed to know whether
they had lived or died.
These are the conditions that
exist in France today. Besides the
thousands of women who have
been violated, other thousands
have been murdered and their bod
les left to rot in their homes which
have been despoiled and in many
instances the only thing left to
greet a returning soldier is the
charred bodies of wife and daught-
ers in the embers of burned
home.
! Is it any wonder that the French
soldier avoids encumbering him
self with a prisoner when he can
possibly do so.
The body of every French girl
taken from French home and
found in the captured German
trenches, calls for the death of a
score of German brutes.
And yet there are men in Amer
ica who have no more soul than to
resist the operations Of a law by
which this country is endeavoring
to raise an army. Clarion Ledger.
