CURTAILMENT OF NON
WAR CONSTRUCTION

Maj. Rutledge Smith, Chairman, State
Council Of Defense, Nashville, Tenn:
The War Industries Board asks the
State Council of Defense to act as its
representative in passing upon pro-
posed construction, in order that all
building which is not absolutely nec-
essary may be stopped. This is part
of the new plan, of the War Industries
Board, by which permits from the
board will be required for construc-
ton projects, as specified in the at
tached circular No. 21. You will note
that permits are required for all new
construction projects, with few ex-
ceptions relating principally to gov
ernment work.
This plan has been adopted only be-
cause of the imperative necessity of
conserving labor materials and capi-
tai for war purposes.
The procedure will be as follows:
1.-The person interested in a con-
struction project will apply, with a
full statement of all facts, to the Non
to the appropriate local representative
of the State Council of Defense.
2-The local representative of the
State Council will then investigate
the necessity of the proposed construc-
tion and transmit its recommendation,
with summary of the facts to the
State Council for review.
3-The State Council, or its ap-
proved committee, will review the
case.
(a)-If the State Council decides in
favor of the construction, it will at
once send its recommendation with a
full staement of all facts, to the Non
War Construction Section of the Pri-
critics Division Of the War Industries
Board. The Non-War Construction
Section will then grant or withhold
the permit and notify the State Coun-
ell Of Defense, and also the individual
concerned of its action.
(b)-If the State Council decides

Fuel Administrator Burton has re-
sceived instructions to appoint num-
sber of assistants to be stationed at
public places throughout the county
on each Sunday for the purpose OF
stopping all cars with view to find
ing out whether or not they are violat-
ing the presidents request with regard
to running on Sunday. The sheriff
and his deputies are also called on by
the U. S. Fuel Administration to as
sist in this work.
All who, in the opinion of the Off
GERS, are violating the request will be
reported to the U. S. fuel administra-
tor Of Tennessee, who will take such
action as the situation demands.
The request mentioned, as previous
ly published, calls on our people to
cease using automobiles, motorcycles,
etc, including such vehicles for hire,
on Sundays until further notice, as a
gasoline conservation measure.
Under the presidents request cars
are to be used only on errands Of ex-
-treme necessity which cannot be done
on any other day and where no other
transportation power is available.
This refers to errands caused by sick
ness or death, or similar situations.
Gasoline is the life-blood of the strug-
gle in France and taxi and auto own
ers should not attempt to coin the
blood of our American soldiers into
money or pleasure by running on Sun
day.
In going to church, people are re-
quested to use buggies or farm wag-
ons, or else walk. The request closes
with the following statement: II de-
sire that our people attend church, but
] expect them to reach church in the
way God-fearing. patriotic people
should do in this HOUR OF GAS0-
LINE SCARCITY" These instrue-
tions are issued BY w. E. Myer, U. s.
Fuel Administrator for Tennessee.

write, the free world is going thru

new slavery; ( anyone still believes

But if you are of that race that has

make life worth living, if you have in
your veins the hatred Of wrong, d
just anger; If you have the pride Of

barbarism, the will to resist no matter

Each day we wait breathlessly the
message from the front, knowing that
the fate of the world hangs on the de-
termination of men to die when the
time to die has come, that greater
thing may live. Each day we who are
here are living in dread suspense.
Remember this when you start to sub

THE FOURTH \
LIBERTY LOAN

Uncle Sam has started out to raise
$6,0OO,OO0,000, which is almost exact
ly $4,000 for every man, woman and
child in this country.
This money must be raised right
away. 1t must be had by October 10.
OF course not every man, woman and
child in the country can lend $4,000 or
save that much to lend the government
by October 10.
Therefore it deyolves upon every
man or woman who can-and upon ev-
cry boy or girl who can save the PEN
nies--to advance the money.
The money is lent to Uncle Sam by
buying $4,000 bond of the Fourth
Liberty Loan, or a bigger bond if you
can manage to buy it. If that Liberty
Bond is bought, it will stand behind
the army that stands between you and
the Kaiser's army. You know what

Every foot Of territory that the Ger
mans have wrested from the allies is
,. n impressive argument in behalf of
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Every shell vomited from the Ger
man howitzers upon the French, Brit
ish and American troops in France is
a solemn warning to the American
people that they must put all their
financial resources back of their gov
ernment in this supreme conflict of
civilization.
Money is the very first necessity.
Unless it comes freely and ungrudg
ingly the war is lost. Without it we
cannot raise and equip the armies that
are essential to replace the waning
man-power of the French and British.
We cannot build the ships that must
be built in order to transport our
troops and feed the British and
French. We cannot continue the loans
To the allies which enable them to
keep their forces in the field. This
government cannot carry out any of
its obligations and responsibilities
except as the American people finance
all the undertakings.
{ Money is the most important thing
-and the least important thing. The
government must have it, but the indi-
vidual who holds it back is boarding
something that win profit him little
unless Prussian militarsm is crushed
for ell time. This is no holiday war the

of his opponents on the gridiron can
testify. His many friends here will
be glad to know that he is making a
fine record as a soldier and enjoying
the best of health. He is under Capt
Thomas Fauntleroy, a most excellent
young man, who, before volunteering
for army service, enjoyed the distinc-
tion Of being one of the finest newspa-
per correspondents in the south.

EARLY FALL FLOWING.

The benefits of early fall prepara-
tion of land are so conclusive that it
would seem unnecessary to call atten-
tion once more to the GesIrability of
this practice. In many sections of
West Texas and Oklahoma, as well
as in central Texas and central Okla
homa, the difference between success
and failure in crop production has
been measured by the early prepara-
tion of the land the preceding fall.
Seasonal rains in these latitudes are
apt to occur in the early fall rather
than the late fall or winter, and a
safe system of farming indicates the
Gesirabilty Of preparing the land in
such way as to receive and retain
this moisture.
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-09-20

ago There are a few sections where
.he crop is unusually short, but from
eaneral indications it will run from
thirty to forty per cent betterl than
sast year.
L addition to being one of the best
taHkers in the country, Mr.. S. F. Tho
pas is also making reputation as a
Ffoit grower. He shipped this week
several hundred bushels of wine-sap
lpples for which he expects to get a
sood price. His trees averaged about
n bushels each. The apples are of
a. quality.
Judge A. A. Freeman, formerly an
honored member of the local bar, but
for many years a resident of Victoria,

Judge Freeman was for many years a
ltonspicuous figure in national affairs.
Under the Hays administration he was
Assistant Attorney General of the

appointed Federal Judge in New Mexi-
go by President Harrison, which office
|he filled with distinction for many
years. Later he removed to Victoria,

SPECIAL RED CROSS NOTICE.

The American Red Cross, at the re-

sion, will launch a clothing drive on
Monday, September 2S, and continue
for one week. Our local chapter wants
the people of our county to do their
part in this great effort to relieve the
suffering of the sorely tried people in
Belgium and northern France. Every
household in our community has some
spare clothing, worn or outgrown, of
little value here but desperately need
ed by the destitute there. Garments
of every kind are needed. A specially
appointed committee will be at Red
Cross Headquarters here during the

these garments. We feel sure our
people will respond nobly to this call
and everyone in Haywood county will
do him or her part.
