RAISE MORE AND BETTER
HORSES

Spring time has rrived again and
the farmers are looking around for
the best type of horse to breed to.
The time has arrived when we must
go to grading up our foundation
Stock of Of kinds, especially brood
mares must be larger to raise larger
mules from. You need the larger
mares because they will do better
farm work and because they will
produce better and larger mules and
horses. 1t takes weight in the collar
to do first class farm work. Just SO
deep as you plow your soil just SO
deep you can make your soil. Put
nam county has paid out thousands
of dollars for large mules from Mis-
souri,, while II we had commenced to
grade UP as other states have done,
we could have saved this money.
The draft horse has been my hObby
for 80 years, and now hav elived o
see them acknowledged to be tkel
hest agricultural and commercial
horse of the world The man who
fails to try to raise some draf colts
this year is one year behind; SO get
into the procession. Try some Of
them; you will like them.

CROPS IN TENNESSEE

Flowing and other farm work made
rapid progress and are well advanc-
ed for the season. The planting of
corn has become general and it is
coming up in some central and west
ern counties. A little cotton has al
30 been planted, though drought in
the cotton section and fear of late
frosts have delayed this work. Wheat
is generally in good to excellent con-
dition; rain would be beneficial in
most western counties. Potatoes are
coming up and show god stand.
Glover and grasses are looking un-
usually well. There is an excellent
prospect for large strawberry crop,
also for apples, which are in full
bloom. Peaches were mostly winter
killed

VISITS CAMP SEWER

Il wish all the mothers OF Tennes
see could visit one of the national
camps and see how well cared foI
are the soldier boys and how happy
and contented they are. 1t is the
busiest place at Camp Sewer ! ever
saw and the cleanest, the streets are
swept and the boys have become so
clean in their habits that they are
ready to pick up matches and trash
on the streets of Greenville. It GER
tainly makes us old housekeepers
who haye prided ourselves on hav-
ing clean back yards feel that we
can learn few lessons from them. -
So spoke Mrs. Sid Jenkins when ap-
preached by reporter and asked to
tell of her recent visit to Camp Se-
vier, in company with her mother,
Mrs. R. A. Elrod of Murfreesboro,
and her siste, Ms. ]. A. Shirley of
Cookeville, to see Corporals Fowler
and Hubert Elrod, Of the 18th Ma
Chine Gun Co.
Il never saw such pile of wood
as the boys have cut, showing trey
need not suffer from cold, and visit
to the kitchen revealed stacks of
canned goods such as peaches, pine
apples, etc., and a peep into one OF
the ovensfound a fine looking beef
roast being prepared for dinner. A
Mr.. Weakley, from Tennessee, whom
we saw on the tain, said the best
eats he had while in South CarOli-
ma was while visiting in the camps.
Our boys show the result of substan-
tial food, steady habits and outdoor
exercise in their general appearance.
We did not see sickly looking boy,
and the report was that there was
no sickness in the camp worth speak.
ing Of Everybody was so friendly
and kind, taking delight in showing
ds the workings of the guns, and the
routine work. Among others we saw
Mr.. Buck, who sent word Of love to
all his Putnam county friends, and
said tell them he was well and hap
py and might be able to get home
for day or two before going to
France. He certainly looked fine in
his khaki"
Sunday we spent in Greenville,
attending a concert given at Textile
Hall, one of the largest halls in the
state, and 1t was crowede to its ut
most capacity. The music was fur
nished by the band of the 115th Reg
iment, and here we saw Albert
Smith, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rut.
ledge Smith. He had been chosen
as an usher for tn occasion, fifteen
having been selected from the regi-
ment by the colonel for neatness of
person and equipment at inspection.
He was surely glad to see US, as were
all the boys from home
I'VE went by way of Atlanta, but
returned by way of Asheville, and
SO grand is the scenery that if there
had been no other recompense. we
would have felt repaid for the ex-
pense. There were % German pris
oners taken or of our train and left
at Hot Springs, N. c., where there
are now over $500 German prisoners.
This is a beautiful place and the
Germans that we could see from the
train look as if they were well TAX
en- care of by Uncle Sam. The trip
from here to Greenville is not long.
One can leave here at midnight and
get to Greenville for supper. and it
is well worth going to see the patri-
otism and spirits of our boys"

CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION

CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION
1. Drastic modification of the draft
classification list which will affect
in one way or another the status of
every one of the millions OF. register
ed men is proposed in a plan sub
mitted to President Wilson by ofic-
ials Of the provist marshal generals
office and the department of labor.
2. While the primary purpose of
the new program Is a publication OF
the second, third and fourth classes
of registrants who are not engaged
in any productive industry, attention
also would be given to lower Sec
tions of class one, and the effect 1t
is believed. will be to solve the ma
tion's labor problem and largely in
crease the output of the necessities
Of life.
8. The proposal would utilize the
draft machinery for putting industri-
al slackers to work. Eevery regis
tered man who has been granted de-
ferred classification would be given
to understand that such difference is
not a legal right but privilege and
that If unfair advantage is taken of
that privilege it will be summarily
revoked
4. 1t is proposed to make careful
survey of the lower sections Of class
one and other classes to identify
those men who are idlers or are gain
ing their living through non-essential
or undesirable pursuits. Under the
latter head, it is suggested, there
might be listed gamblers, bookmak
ers for, races. pool rooms. etc. I'm
less these men go to work in some
useful endeavor, they will have their
classified status changed so as to
send them into military service i'm
s. Of1cials have indicated that the
next step in the plan would be to OBJ
tain authority for industrial ella ss'f-
cation of man power of the roun4rv
up TO the age of 30 years
g. Rv this metho1 1t is believed
that the labor problem will be effect
ively solved.

THE PEOPLE ARE SUPREME

Public opinion finally rules the ma
tion, and SO long as the press re-
mains courageous public opinion will
not fail to assert its influence. The
people are not responsible for gov
ernmental intolerance, nor will they
long countenance departmental i'm
potency. Criticism is not disloyalty
Indeed it is often OF loyalty. The
best government is that which in
vites criticism Of its acts. A presi-
dent is elected by the people. He
must be answera'ble to them. 0 one
man is wiser than the aggregate
opinion of citizens. So long as a
president is right he is entitled to
commendation. When he is wrong
he should never be = immune from
condemnation. Neither his opinions
nor his policies are sacred. .-Pendle-
