Meath the Daffodils and Poppies.

In the fields of France and Belgium,
many bright-hued peoples wave.
Colored by the blood of heroes shed
for those whom they would save.
All the colors of the rainbow, eye
before had never seen,
For the blood of many nations has
been poured upon the green.
When the cry went out from Belgium,
that her rights had been spurned
BY q nation that called treaties
scraps of paper to be burned"
Quick response was made by heroes,
from the nations far and wide,
And those heroes now are sleeping
meath the peoples, side by side.
Heroes from the homes of millions,
from the huts of poverty.
Who their lives have freely given as
a shield for you and me;
From their blood has sprung the
peoples and the daffodils of France,
AS the brotherhood of nations proud
ly makes its great advance.
We have hometies over yonder, where
those bright-hued peoples wave,
For our loved too are sleeping in
those poppy-covered graves;
But their memory is sacred and our
hearts cannot forget,
Tho they sleep beneath the peoples,
they are our heroes yet.
lie us meet and do them honor, let us
speak their names with pride,
For they gave their lives in service
and for us they freely died.
May the daffodils and peoples proud
ly wave and never cease,
Till the world shall be united in a
universal peace.

John Howe Peyton.
JULIEN N. GEENs
August 10.

The death of John Howe Peyton Is
a loss to Tennessee. He was build
er not only of railroads but of insti-
buttons. He was interested in all
things that tended to make home and
soul better. He attempted to help
farms, schools and churches. APP
parently he was well balanced
man. 1t is reported that worry about
going abroad depressed him. In a
moment of mental depression he took
his own life. Surely his reason was
dethroned. He was vigorous man
and a lovable man. We hope he will
find in the next world that peace of
mind that he did not enjoy here.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 8, 1918.

Dietzel's Jewelry Store will pre-
sent Vernon Dalhart, the gifted
American tenor, in recital at Rey-
nolds Theatre on Sept. 26. Mr.. Dali
hart made his debut with Savage's
Girl of the Golden West" and as a
result of his sterling work was en-
gagged to sing the leading role in
Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pinafore." The
critics have been unanimous in their
praise of Mr.. Dalhart's singing. He
has an exceptionally good tenor
voice, sweet and clear, and knows
how to use it. He is rightfully
proud of the fact that he is Ameri-
can born and has received all his
training here. He forcefully illus
trates that distinct success can be
obtained without European name or
reputation. Mr.. Dalhart has toured
the United States and Canada and in
almost every city he has been i'm
mediately engaged for a return con-
cert. His repertoire is large and
varied. He may soon be numbered
among the stars of the concert and
operate world. 1t is rumored that
Mr.. Dalhart will attempt the SEEM
ingly impossible feat of singing a
duet with himself. Can it be done?

ROUNDUP CHAMPS TO DEFEND

Yakima Canutt who won the cham

months cowboying In filmland with
Doug Fairbanks and Bill Hart. Dave
White winner of third last year has
sent word down from Canada that he
is in the best form of his career and
is coming back to win the title.
Though many familiar faces will
be missing among the Roundup per-
formers this year, because they are
now over there" there promises to
be no shortage of material for many
of the contests Many OF the little
Wild West shows have gone out of
existence and the Pendleton Round
up, staged this year as u benefit for

LABOR DAY

1t is we'll that the government has
set aside day out OF the year. dedi-
eating 1t to the cause of labor,---a
day when we are called upon to turn
our thoughts to this great element
of the world. At ordinary times we
are likely to take the conveniences
of life for granted and to overlook
the fact that from the beginning to
the close Of our day labor Is the
basic element which provides these
conveniences.
Every article we use, whether II
ia made OF wood from the forest, iron
from the mines, or any other product
OF nature, requires labor at every
step from the procuring OF the raw
material to the final touch of manu-
facture. The army of labor must
keep step with the world day by day
to render civilized life possible.
If these are the obligations OF the
nation to labor In times OF peace, how
much greater do they become In
times of war? The army of working
men Is lessened by the drafting of
men for the nonproductive industry
OF war. New duties are incumbent
upon the men who are left. Ships
must be built equipment and ammu-
milton for the army made there must
be an increase in the coal mined and
shipped. and additional supplies OF
all kinds must be transported.
without the army of labor at home
there could not be the army of com
batants In the field. The obligation
of the United States to It's body work
ers Is great. The workers have
shown In the main loyal acceptance
of the aims OF the Government and
loyal endeavor to assist In carrying
out these aims.
Labor Day this year OF all others
should bring different classes OF
closer to each other in
sympathy and understanding. Sol
dier and civilian, capitalist and work
er, we are people inspired by one
great purpose. Let us give honor to
the force of working men who help !
TO make the attainment OF that pur- /.
pose certain.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
tral Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls one-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
var average.
Counting the American, Allied and
Eerman- Austrian crops, as well as the
aeutrals. the L. s. Food Administrn.
sion has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
I917-l9lS Is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 191T-loiS crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half Of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
Il requires la0 to l60 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili
des of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-thlrd than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 20.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break Of hostillties in Europe, France
produced an average of 752,542 tons OF
sugar each year. For l9lT-lS the
French production WAS 2l9il6 tons
with 81 factories operating, as com
pared with more than 200 that were
iu existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar In 19lT-1S
,han i'm 1867. when the total output
was 2024l5 tons.
Italy in 1917-1S produced 100SoO
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
IfO.250 less than the annual output Of
sugar for the five year pre-war Pc
Rod
One of the great difficulties expert
snced in Italys beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor 10 handle
the crop. Thousands OF men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity OF
beets harvested.
