does this representa-

census is not taken until Octo
Der 25 of each year from which there
in an income of over $s per census chile

it is clearly impossible for the scnco
board to know its income from othei

SENATOR w. ]. STONE

The death of United States SEN

takes from public life a very strong
man. The democratic party, in
which he was great leader, will
feel his loss. He held the import
ant position of chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee
at the time of his death, and was
one of the strong members of the
United States senate.
Senator Stone was born in Ken
lucky. May Z, I848. His home
was at jefferson City, Mo-, the
state capital.
In 1876 he was a presidential
eIector on the Tilden and Hen

where he served as a member from
the Thirteenth Missouri district
until 1891. He was governor of
Missouri from 1898 to 1897. and a

DON'T OvERDO 1T

The farmers are we'll up with
their work. While much feed and
foodstuff have already planted,
and arrangements have been made
for the planting Of much more,
yet there is a strong inclination,
especially in some sections, to
plant largely of cotton.
We admit that the present prices
are very tempting to the growing
of a large cotton crop. A big crop
at present prices would put the
farmers of Carroll county in
mighty fine condition.
But the government needs food
crops this year, the farmers have
been urged to grow stuff that can
be used in helping to win the war,
and it is patriotic to forego the OPP
portunity of making big money in
raising cotton and possibly max
ing less by growing food crops.
1t is also possible for too much
cotton to be grown to maintain
high prices. The cotton market
for the last two weeks has given
some indication of what the price
may be next year. The price of
cotton next year is a thing no one
can be certain about. Farmers had
better be careful or the cotton
proposition may be overreached.

The reserves usually win the
battle. and whatever army has re-
serves athand is usually victorious.
The reserves are fresh and eager,
and they know that they are called
upon to win battles when the front
ranks have failed. and they 90
after it with a will. The great
Wellington on one occasion said
that the presence Of Napoleon on
the battlefield was worth 100000
troops. He took occasion to ex-
plain later that while he did make
the assertion. he never said that
Napoleon's presence on the battle
field was worth 10000 reserves.
The reserves have a store of &C.

condition, and they go at him de-

Another instance of a similar
character came in recent letter
from John Lambert, of Hunting

haps, the first boy from Hunting

letter to his father he stated that
he had found fighting close by his
side one of his boy friends that
lived right near his home, before
they came from Chicago to Hunt

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July /, 1914, to-
January l, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, 194.570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4,000,000 bushels.
Pork exports for the 3b years amount
ed to almost 2,000000,000 pounds Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, 484, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-04-19

General Foch, as commander-in,
chief OF the allied armies, holds q
most responsible position. If he
succeeds in measuring up to the ex-
pectation of the allied nations and
wins the war, he will be honored
as few men have been in past years.
But should disaster follow his eff
forts he will go to the junk pile as
many great men in past history
have done.

FRIDAY. APRIL 10. 1918
a STIFF PROPOSITION

The Democrat is no pessimist,
and we believe the allied forces
will win this war, but there is no
denying the fact that at this writ
ing we are confronted with very
stiff proposition. The situation
very critical, and the news that
come from the front is not en-
couraging.
The kaiser is determined, if pos
sible, toannihilate the British army
and will spare no effort in his
power to accomplish his purpose.
Lloyd George admits that the fight
on the western front was a very
serious one, and that British SUI
premacy was threatened.
Should the kaiser continue to
drive back the British army and
pour into the battle fresh reserves,
as be has been doing for the last
two weeks, he will make the situa-
ton still more serious. II the
British army should be defeated,
the French would have to submit
to terms of peace or be defeated,
and the American army would be
left in a most critical position.
With England and France whip
ped the United States would find
herself in a war of long duration
We would finally win, but at ter
rible sacrifice. 1t behooves every
American to do his best now and
in every way possible help to bring
victory on the other side of the
waters.

RED CROSS NEWS
Large Crowd Attends Big Day at
Hollow Rock Saturday

Last Saturday Hollow Rock put
herself on record as another town
in Carroll county that can easily
90 over the top on Red Cross work.
1t was her donation day for the
Red Cross Auxiliary, and pro-
gram similar to the one used in
Huntingdon, April /, was carried
out. 1t was a huge success in every
way, and considering the crowd
and territory covered, they out
stripped Huntingdon. Early Sat
urday morning the people began
to arrive with their donation Of
everything good to eat for the
dinner, and donation to be sold at
auction. These were piled in heaps
in front of the postoffice and looked
after by a special committee. The
donations for sale consisted of one
thoroughbred Duroc pig, one
thoroughbred Poland China pig,
chickens, corn, hay, beans and
peas, dried fruits, canned fruits
and vegetables and many other
items.
The ladies served a splendid din
ner in a vacant store room that
was crowded from 1870 to 1:30.
At 2 o'clock the large crowd as
sembled at the tabernacle, where a
splendid program was given. Mr..
Robert Presson, of Hollow Rock,
presided. The young ladies' choir
sang some potriotic songs and
prayer was offered by Rey. Jones,
pastor of the Methodist church,
followed with an address by Hon.
j. Sam johnson, of Huntingdon,
who took for his subject Are You
Worth Dying For" He dealt
some sledge-hammer blows at the
fellow who is not doing his part in
helping to win the war. and was
frequently applauded by the large
audience. At the close of his adj
dress he called for cash donations
to be used by the local auxiliary
in making bandages and hospital
garments for the wounded soldiers,
which met with hearty response.
Miss Loucretia Owen then thanked
the audience in behalf of the local
Red Cross, and the crowd then
went over in front of the post
Office for the auction. Following
is the cash results for the day:
