PRACTICE THESE RULES
AND BE PATRIOTIC

Use cereals (meal, cereal breakfast
foods, etc., freely, taking pains to pre-
pare them with great care and to
vary the kind used from day to day
if necessary to keep people from tir-

Remember that a quart Of whole
milk a day for each child, to be used
as a beverage and in cookery, is moi
too much.
Try to make the dishes served Of

The price of wheat raised by north
ern and western formers has been
fixed. The price of cotton, the prin-
cipal staple Of the south, has been left
without control. The result has been
as against a normal price Of cotton
from Sc to 10c, the present price Of
TINT commodity exceeds SOC and has
reached as high as 3Gc plus. Demo-
Gratis from the South have fought ev-
cry attempt to control the price Of
cotton. Why? Here is the answer.
Ffty-seven Of the largest southern
newspapers Joined in a statement in
the Literary Digest seeking addition
al advertising for their columns based
upon the unprecedented prosperity Of
the south. They made the statement
THAT THE SOUTHERN FARMER
IS REALLY ROLLING IN RICHES"
They give the reason. The cotton
crop of 1917 exceeds $1,000 900, 900 in
value.
The increase Of farm crop values in
sixteen southern states in 1897 over
1916 was $2,0OS,s S,s89,o00.
The total increase in farm crop
values in thirty-two other states was
81, ,0O0, ,591 .059. In other words nearly
50R Of the total increase in farm

TIMELY WARNING GIVEN
DeSoto People Mustn't Monkey
With Airplanes

Louis Ludlow, writing from
Washington, under date of Decem.
ber 26th, says that, since airplaneS
will soon be in practice over Flor
ida in large numbers, the aircraft
board has directed that the fol
lowing be posted conspicuously
throughout the state;
eff a military aviator is forced,
through motor trouble, to make a
forced landing, the public is eau.
toned as soon as it is ascertained
that the aviator is not injured, to
keep clear of the machine, not to
touch the control wires, instru-
ments, etc, as an unframed per-
son may so disarrange these as to
cause a serious accident when the
aviator starts to leave the field.
"If there is a military post or
encampment near the scene of a
forced landing, guard will at
once be sent to the spot. If ne
military organization is available,
the police of the nearest town are
requested to provide a guard at
once for the machine. This will
enable the aviator to leave his ma
chine to telephone to his proper
headquarters, secure supplies for
repairs, etc.
In case the machine is wrecked
in landing, or has fallen out of
control, the military authorities,
if present, otherwise the police,
will prevent the public from ap-
preaching the wreck. 1t is indis-
pensable, in order that the cause
of the accident may be determin-
ed, to leave the machine as nearly
as possible in the same situation as
found after its fall, after having
done as much moving of the parts
as necessary to free the aviator.
"All railroads and steamship
companies are requested to in
struct their employees to render all
the assistance possible to aviators
who may be forced to land in out
of-the-way and remote places, or
in the water, and to stop any and
all trains or steamships to pick up
the aviator, and to stop again for
the purpose of letting him down at
any station where his duties re-
quire his presence without regard
to whether this place is a regular
stop or port Of call"

ploy drummers, clear millions of
dollars annually; they sell all
kinds of goods from pins and shoe

that they do not employ drum

In THEIR EFFORTS
To Gain Ground on the Various
Battle Fronts
VICTORIES WON BY ALLIES

Defeat Austrians-British Win
at Cambrai and in Palestine.

British troops on the Cambrai
front passed the last day of the
old year in desperate and sue
cessful fight to break down Ger
man attacks. Preceded by liquid
fire the enemy attempted to rush
the British positions on front of
1900 yards around the Welsh
ridge,
The first rush brought the Ger
mans into first positions on the
ridge, but the British in bril-
liant counter attack threw them
out and restored the position. On
the center and northern ends of
the attacking line British artillery
and rifle fire repulsed the Germans
completely. Elsewhere on the
western front there has been only
artillery duels.
French troops on the northern
Italian front scored a brilliant
stroke in the capture of important
positions on the Monte Tomba
sector between the Plave and the
Brenta. Besides the positions,
the French took from the enemy
/, 400 prisoners, 60 machine guns
and 7 large guns.
German airmen continue their
raids on Padua. As in the two
previous raids, the third attack
caused few casualties, but the in
cendiary bombs did much damage
to costly and historic buildings
and art objects. The facade of
the cathedral of Padua was blown
down. Pope Benedict has pro-
tested to the central powers a.
gainst the raids over Padua and
Treviso and asked that they be alb
stained from in the future.
Repulsed in their attempt to re-
take Jerusalem, the Turks have
been pushed back to the northwest
until four defensive lines now
stand between them and the Holy
City. General Allenby's forces in
ficted heavy losses on the Turks
and captured more than 600 pris-
oners. In three days the British
advanced seven miles northwest
If Jerusalem.
Il have good hope that before
his new year has passed, the pur-
pose to which we have set our

sage to the viceroy of India. The
advent of 1918 finds the allied
sorces in strong positions from the
North Sea to the Adriatic, on the
Flanders and Aisne front.

There are ripe Strawberries
right now in the Owens garden,
and there will continue to be until
spring, but although he has made
strawberries pay, Mr.. Owens does
not put all his eggs in one basket
in any season He plants only
comparatively small patches of
any vegetable at one time, ships
nothing to the northern markets,
but depends entirely upon the To-
cal trade for consumption of his
products. His problem so far, he
says, has never been to find a mar
ket at home for what he can pro-
duce, but to grow enough vegeta-
bleS and maintain a sufficiently.
constant supply, to satisfy local
demands.
There are few months in the
wear when Mr.. Owens does not
have something to sell from his
garden, or when he does not find a
ready market, at good price, for
what he grows. AT present he is
selling cabbage, radishes, turnips,
okra and beans, while a succession
of paintings of beets and carrots
are coming on; his sweet potatoes,
planted eight weeks ago, are
bursting the beds; the first of his
tomatoes are beginning to ripen,
and sweet corn, Strawberries, rhu-
barb, string beans, lima beans,
mustard greens and half a dozen
other crops will be ready to gather
in a few weeks.
