largely by virtue of the accumulated
household stores which are the results
OF home endeavor.
The food situation OF the world
must steadily degenerate as long as
the war lasts. II Is, therefore, OF
prime Importance to add every item
to tie total production. Furthermore
our overtaxed railways, which must
continue TO be overtaxed during the
whole course OF the war will be great
ly relieved IL we have Q larger area
OF gardens planted than last season.
II seems TO me that the experience
Of last season indicates that aside
from a moderate planting of perish
able vegeta les for immediate use
the substantial part OF such gardens
should be developed to potatoes and
beans. These two commodities can
be raised in practically all sections OF
the United States, are Of the utmost
value from a food point Of view. and
have the great advantage that they
can be preserved in the household
without artificial treatment.

Denies Being Stacker

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 49,
Denying that he is a Stacker, Len
G. Broughton, Jr., son of Rev. Len G..
Broughton, ID. d., formerly of London
and Atlanta, has issued a statement
here. Mr.. Broughton recently wrote to
Congressman A. w. Austin, raising a
question as to the classification of men
who have married since May Is of
last year. Reference to Mr.. Brough-
tons letter was made in communica-
tion from Provost Marshal General
Crowder to Congressman Austin. In
his statement young Broughton says:
81 did protest the action Of the dis
trict board for East Tennessee in
branding my marriage as one con-
tracted for the purpose of escaping
military duty and branding me as a
Stacker. Ny engagement to my wife
took place many months before the
breaking out of the war and it was
not until after the breaking out of the
war that ! was in a financial condition
to take upon myself the responsible
Ties of married life"
lie declared his willingness TO
serve his country in any capacity.
Broughton was appointed by Cover
nor Rye as a member of local ex-
cmption board but when informed that
Broughton was within the draft age,
the governor appointed another man
to take his place. He was chairman
Of the city registration board.

TO CANNING CLUB GIRLS

l want to remind you that it is
time that you have your plots pre-
pared and fertilized if you have not
already done so. It is impossible for
me to see you all before this should
be done The first year girls will
receive their tomato seed from the
government as usual, but the other
girls are supposed to have saved their
seed. If you have not done this you
can buy one package and plant it.
This will furnish all the plants that
you will possibly want, as you are
not to have so much in tomatoes this
year as you had last year. The sec
ond year girls are to plant okra,
beans, pepper, corn, cucumbers, and
other things that you can make money
of. The first year girls will plant to-
matoes. so in this way we are not
likely to have any more canned to-
matoes this year than we had last.
We want to can other things so that
we may furnish all the home merchant
may need. We have succeeded in
selling almost all the canned goods
that we put up this year. Some girls
have a good many cans yet but we
are selling these very fast. | want
us to can just as hard as ever this
year so that we may have something
to sell to our Uncle Sam.

"Mr. P. NJ Harding, Federal Food
Administrator, Vicksburg, Miss
''In order to eliminate possible
confusion, due to incomplete press
reports, the conservation program on
meats, until further notice, is Simply
beef and pork products on Tuesdays.
The whole basis Of the change is to
substitute our more abundant meats
for our less abundant wheat produtcs.
AS to our wheat and wheat' products
the 1918 Home Card sould be consid-
cred as absolutely minimum as we
hope that temporary reductions IN
meat restrictions will be offset by a
more rigid economy in all uses of
wheat products"

For the present Tuesdays is the
only meatless day of the week, and
people are not required, until further
Notice, to observe meatless meal

"In view of absolute necessity of
further conservation on wheat and
wheat products, the entire country
must adopt the ffty-ffty plan, using
only the substitutes on the original
official list, as outlined in Rule 26,
which provides for the use of one

Wheat -four substitutes include HON.

Therefore states not now on the fifty

appreciate some states viii have diff

simply means that Wheat or wheat
products should be sold only to the

RED LETTER DAY

gates.
The sessions were expected to oc-
cupy three days, but business was
transacted with such dispatch that
they adjourned Wednesday after
noon.
Tuesday night was the regular
meeting of the local camp, and Tor
the past six weeks drive has been
made to have large class to take in
on this occasion, and how well they
succeeded is shown by the fact that
80 applications had been passed upon,
and 63 applicants presented them
selves and were taken in. The Head
Camp officers had charge of this
meeting, and they expressed them
selves as being very much surprised
and gratifed that such large class
had been secured, stating that 1t was
the largest class they had ever seen
taken in at one time. The remainder
of the applicants passed on will DE
taken in later, they having been pre-
vented from being present on this oc-
casion.
After the business was transacted
and the camp stood adjourned, q pro-
cession was formed headed by Chief
of Police R. F. Robertson, and march
ed to the gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c.
A. building where one of the most
su1nptuous banquets ever spread in
-Tupelo had been prepared by the
Working Circle of the Baptist Church
for the Woodmen, and 275 enthusias-
tic Woodmen did full justice to the
occasion. Senator T. K. Boggan was
master of ceremonies and called on j.
E. Rankin, ESQ, to deliver the well
come address, which he did in an ap-
propriate manner. It was responded
to on behalf of the visiting Woodmen
by Mr.. Lamb. A numbeNof the Head
Camp officers were called upon for
speeches, and all responded in
happy and humorous vein, which kept
the large crowd in an uproar of ap-
plause until near midnight, when all
left knowing they had attended one OF
the mosS patriotic and enthusiastic
gatherings Of their lives.
The success Of the meeting is
largely due Mr.. c. M. Crane, Head
Banker and Clerk of the local Camp,
who has been untiring in his efforts
for the past six weeks to make Of the
occasion the complete success thai II
was. The bano,1et prepared by the
ladies' was all that could have been
expected, and they deserve much
credit for the patriotic decorations of
the building and the bountiful repast
served.
All of the visitors were loud in
their praise of Tupelo and the hos
pitality that was extended them dur
ing their stay here, and expressed a
Ges;re to return at no distant day.
