Bristol Has City MANAGER.

The adoption Of a city manager by
the town of Bristol, Tenn, with 3
population Of about 10000, may not bU
of the highest Importance from a Pc
litical viewpoint except for one reaso,.
1T adds to the evidence that the city
manager idea is spreading, leaving the
Inference almost a certainty that it is
a question of time only until admins
tration by city manager is taken up by
the biggest cities as well as the smaller
towns. The choosing Of a manager for
Bristol for a term Of three years prom
ises that the plan is to be given a fair
test which it should have if any COM
parison that will be satisfying is to be
made between the towns old political
system and the new. Unless q man
ager is allowed the necessary time to
work reforms and present results, the
handicap would probably be too heavy
and in case of failure would register
a mark against the city manager un-
Justly.

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard Of Cleanliness in
Residences and Business Houses.

The city of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed a unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and busi-
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions Clean" "Dirty" or Filthy"
Those places which do not satisfy the
board Of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health of the city.
The board of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences of the city and
/ affix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean" will not be
placarded, but those in which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des-
ignated as "dirty" or filthy until the
house owners remedy the conditions.
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
As the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
places of business until the board is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If,any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme pen
atty Of the law can be enforced.

Now that Greenwood and Lefore
County have done their part toward
furnishing men for the government the
attention of every citizen should be
given undoubtedly 70 aiding the gov
eminent in the raising of food crops
and provisions to support the en-
emies in the fields and for home con-
sumption.
Greenwood and Lef1ore County have
furnished their quota of men, Wis, a
good number in the First Mississippi
and an entire Battery of Artillery. It
is just as important that she fur
nish her part Of the provisions and
foodstuffs.
America is at war with Germany.
She is preparing to send a large army,
probably several million men into the
field. She is allied, technically and in
reality, with England, France, Russia,
Italy Belgium and Servia. These ma
tions have been active in war for
nearly three years and their resources
have been seriously drained. If
America puts her shoulder to the
wheel and furnishes them with the
necessary foodstuffs they will be en-
abled to continue the great work they
have started.
America must not only raise enough
to feed herself but to feed the world.
She must share alike all that she has
with her allies across the sea. = She
is sharing her great wealth with them
by lending them without interest three
billions of dollars. She is sharing with
them her men by raising an army of
several million men for service any
wherein Europe if needs De. She is
sharing her great inventive ability
with them. She is sharing with them
her food supply, such as it is. 1t is uI
to US to make the latter sufficient fol
them and for us, equally as much as
to send them men and money.

ly the nation but almost the entire

West cannot raise cotton. The South
can raise anything. For that reason
the North and West have always rais

cause of climatic conditions has raised
the cotton, thus avoiding competition
in the grain markets and having a vir
, tual monopoly on the cotton produc
ton.
The time has come when the Nortl

WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That Il Rooted May Easily BE
Converted Into Sun Parlor During
the Winter Months.

A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beauty Of
most any home. In order to serve the
best purpose it should be wide and
built around several sides of the house.
This will insure a cool, shady spot to
hang the hammock on a hot summer
day for rest and reading. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
nay be as deep as II feet. 1t is not
necessary to have all the piazza COW
cred with a roof. It Is a good idea
to have the part which Is to be rooted
over so constructed that@by the erec-
provided for winter use. In the VIM
ter a piazza which is entirely rooted
tends to shut off light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza root
should be high, extending to the bot
tom Of the second floor windows.
In the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning. or a vine
~trellis, which on nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling of closeness otherwise occa-
stoned. 1t is a good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that it should be
made so as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza is some
times a discomfort from the presence
of flies or a swarm of mosquitoes or
moths.
For a bungalow or summer cottage
near the salt water screens made of
copper wire are best as they corrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put in use SO that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up in the winter
the window sashes should be
painted with black paint over the red
wash which is put on in the fac
tory and has little preventative quail
ity in it.

ton Is necessary. A certain amount
of cotton must be had, but the South
must plant at least fifty per cent, of
her acreage in feed stuff.
It is not only, necessary to comply
with the wishes of the government
in the matter but it is necessary that
we raise foodstuffs for economic pur-
poses. Unless the South raises enough
to feed herself she is going to go hum
cry. It will not be permitted for the
grains raised North and West to be
shipped here for consumption by cot
ton raisers. The surplus crops of the
great wheat and corr belts will go to
feed armies of the United States and
to the allies in Europe. The South
must raise her her own food supply
or go hungry.
Wall street is said to be betting
ten to one that the war will be over
within ninety days, but that is no sign
that it will be over. It may end with
in that period and it may continue for
several years. A farmer has no more
right to hold back from planting grain
and foodstuff because Wall Street, or
any other body ,or person, thinks the
war will not last long than a young
man of military age and unattached
has to refuse to join the colors for
the same reason.
The back of a young fellow who has
not joined the colors is alluded to as
having a yellow streak a foot wide
running up and down it and he is made
to feel that he is an outcast, yet a man
with thousands of acres of land at his
disposal plants every one of them in
cotton despite the governments ap-
peal and retains his standing in the
community. That is not consistent. l
do not admire the young man who
holds back for any reason when his
Country calls him but l admire less
the mar who refuses to exert his eff
forts, time and money to the service
of the government in times Of stress.
The United States faces a serious
situation and the South faces a situa-
ton far more serious than any 9TH
er section of the Country. We must
feed ourselves or starve. We can
raise cotton at a dollar a pound and
the dollar won't be worth as much as
the present price we get for cotton
1t will be impossible to ship any more
cotton than is absolutely necessary
for the governments use.

The Pennsylvania state department
Of forestry and the state highway de-
partment have completed arrangements
for cooperation in planting shade trees
and fruit trees along the state high
ways. The trees will be growc from
seed by the forestry department in its
nurseries, transplanted in areas set
aside for the purpose, then turned over
to the highway department when they
have attained suitable size. Good
roads organizations will also assist in
the planting at that time. The spe-
cies already ~transplanted are Scotch,
