FARMERS AND SCHOOLS

Not long since a fat stock show
was held at Chicago and five of the
eight prizes awarded for fat short
horns were won by animals exhibited
by state universities, whereat New
York paper exclaims: "When univer-
sites can beat farmers at raising cat
tie, what is left against the argu-
ment against higher education 2"
Hadn't heard any such argument late
ly. Most everybody now seems to be
going in for all the education he can
get. But back to the show. Purdue
University won first and second prizes
oklahoma won fourth, Kansas ffth'
and Ohio eighth, leaving third, sixth
and seventh to farmers. And the uni
versities did about as well in the grade
cattle competition.
This record indicates that some of
the western schools, at least, have
been studying something else along
with football. 1t indicates that there
is much to be learned even about so
commonplace a matter as raising a
yearling. Time once was, Of course,
when it would have been insisted that
in school was not the place to learn
such things, but the above showing
seems to suggest otherwise. Moraliz-
ing ON the significance of the forego-
ing, the same New York paper OBJ
serves: "The farmer who does not go
to school is likely to go to the wal"
Farmers, however, are gong 70

though many of them are doing this,
but going to school nevertheless. They
are studying soils and crops and live
stock and implements and farm opera
ton as never before. They are devel-
oping in efficiency about as rapidly
as any other class of our population.
But the needs which it is their prov
ince to supply are indeed very great.
They should have the sympathy and
cooperation Of the country.-Chatta-

that adoption Of this plan by southern

will materially add to the food supply

power over either the army or navy
is not only dangerous and vicious but
it is in direct contrayention of the or

In great emergency like this there
be no division of authority. There
must be supreme and directing hand.
The power requisite. is vested in the
president, a power that has never been

to circumscribe the president in the
exercise of his war powers is simply to
create further division among the
American people, raise doubts in the
minds of some and finally give en-,

WANTED
IN us SHIPYARDS

Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
has just wired this office as follows:
1.-THE number of men that we can place
aad maintain in France win depend
upon the number Of ships available
Tor their transport and their supplies.
For that reason I want to ask the
friends and families Of the men in
the national army to lend their sup
port in every way to the shipping
board to the end that the necessary
efficient labor may be enrolled in the
United States shipyard volunteers.
They are doing a work of vital impor-
tanuce to the defense of the nation,
and the men who enroll in the ship
yards are undertaking a patritic serv-
ice as great as any that can be per-
formed behind the firing line"
The above message from the secre-
tary of war is 50 plain as to render
comment unnecessary. The work of
getting men for the shipyards has
Deen given the right of way over all
other war industries, and it is hoped
that everyone will do his full duty
and assist in securing a full enroll
ment Immediately of all competent
men.
A chain is no stronger than its weak
est link. Our weakest link is our lack
OF ships. There is no Moses to sepa-
rate the waters and allow our men and
supplies an overland route to France.
We must comply with Gen. Pershing's
request and build bridge of ships.
Registration cards for the enroll
ment OF men have been sent to the
chairman of county councils all over
tennessee. Wages and working con-
ditions at the shipyards will be excel
lent, but We primarily request that
all men engaged in occupations essen
tlal to the welfare of the United
States forces, will remain in their pres
ent positions, and that laborers will
not go forwad to the shipyards until
they are properly enrolled and notified
when and where to go by the United
States inspectors.
Yours very truly,

Director for Tennessee Depart
ment of Labor, U. S. Public

WARMING GIVEN
AGAINST BOARDING

For the information of consumers
Of flour and sugar, your attention is
called to the part Of the Federal Food
Law that relates to BOARDING,
which reads as follows:-
Section Six: THAT any person who
wilfully boards any necessaries shall
upon conviction thereof be fined not
exceeding $4,000 or be imprisoned for
not exceeding two years, or both.
Necessaries shall be deemed to be
boarded within the meaning of this
act when either (a} held, contracted
for, or arranged for by any person in
a quantity in excess of his reasonable
requirements for use or consumption
BY himself and dependents for reas-
enable time; (b) held, contracted for.
or arranged for by any manufacturer,
wholesaler, retailer, or other dealer
IN a quantity in excess of the reason
able requirements of his business for
use or sale by him for a reasonable
time, or reasonably required to fur
nish necessaries produced in surplus
quantities sea sonally throughout the
peiod of scant or no production; (c)
withheld, whether by possession or
under contract or arrangement, from
the market by any person for the pur-
pose Of unreasonably increasing or
diminishing the price"
The food administration has ruled
that consumer is entitled to buy 4S
pounds and have it in his possession,
If he lives in town, and if he lives in
the county he is entitled to buy sc
pounds and have it in his possession.
Consumers who have more than their
allotted amount Of -four on hand
should at once eport in writing to the
county food administrator giving the
number of pounds they have and when
1t was bought, and at the same time
expess willingness to turn same
back into the regular channels of
trade. If the food administration is
not advised of the excess quantity of

The following significant remarks are

is about right. The peace negotiations

The occasion of the presidents po-
tential prediction was his appeal a
few days ago to the farmers of Illinois
to increase their production of food
crops. He was urging the vital neces-
sity of food in order to win success.
Others beside the president have,
however, been apprehensive that a
crisis was approaching. The food sit
uation has become acute, and much
want and disorganization prevails in
several of the belligerent countries.
Even the drastic system of Germany
seems to be gradually disintegrating
under the terrific strain.
And, on par with food famine con-
ditions, the financial situation in the
central group, and some of the allies
is one of practical bankruptcy. The
problem of obtaining money where

large on the horizon. Credit is break

know that the world outside the class
