WAR SAVINGS

War Savings Stamps mark an epoch in our national life. ."-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
 Many a successful business man has said that the saving of his first dollar was the most important single act of his life; that it marked the beginning of habit and a course of conduct to which he attributed his success.
 Something very analogous to this, it is believed, is going to be the effect on the American Natio0 of the War Saw ings campaign. Not only are millions of individual citizens going to begin to save, but this habit of economy and saving is going to be a collective move- ment, a movement not of individuals

FARM PROSPERITY
 lS HOME MADE
Can Be Continued indefinitely In South If Farmers Do Their Part,
 Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- )-That the present wave of farm prosperity" in the South is nome made" and can be continued, indefinitely is the interest ing statement made recently by H. G. Hastings, President of both the Southeastern Fair Association and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. MT. Hastings said: "Unthinking people are very apt to attribute the present wave of farm prosperity in the South to the present high price of cotton rather than to its real cause"
 Naturally. the high price has helped Q great deal, but the real reason for the money being in the farmers pock- ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot ton crop was made the farmer owned it instead of owing it to supply mer- chant at the end of the season, as was usually the case in times past. Never before had the farmers of the South come as close to feeding themselves, their families and their live stock from their own acres as in 1917. They had need of few. store purchases and made few or no debts"
 If the 1917 crop had been made on the old basis of plant all cotton and buy all food at present prices there would be supply merchant prosperity, but little or none on the farms"
 Naturally. the temptation is great to increase cotton acreage and dc crease food and grain acreage in 1918. The man who does 1t is foolish. The whole world is short of food and this condition will not only continue but get worse as long as the war lasts. Continued high prices for food is as cor. tain as sunrise each morning"
 Real money-in-hand fasm prosper. ity is absolutely dependent on the growing on ones own acres of all the food. meat. grain and forage needed for home needs. Once that is provid. ed for. every other available acre can safely be planted in cotton or other cash crop. The larger part of the cost of making cotton or other cash crop is in the food, grain and forage consum ed in making It.
 These items home made can be produced at from oue-third to one half the price the merchant charges and home production of them means just that much reduction in the cost of making the cash crop.
 Farm prosperity in the South car and will be permanent just as long as our farmers continue their farm oper ations on home made basis"

SHOULD MAKE ARKANSAS REJOICE
Snow Is Worth Thousands of Dollars to Arkansas Farmers, Says
 MT. Nicholson.

Little Rock Jan. 12.-While the peo- pie of Arkansas are shivering and wading through the snow, they should not overlook the fact that the white blanket that covers the state is about the best thing that could have hap pened for the farmers of the state
 This snow is worth thousands and thousands of dollars to the farmers of the state said J. Nicholson, az ricultu1ist of the Arkansas Profit able Forming Bureau, yesterday q should say that it is of as much ben eih to the land as would be light dressing of barnyard manure.
 This cold weather would kill thou sands of acres of small grains and clover were it not for the protecting blanket of snoY. If, as is probable, the snow will soak into the ground
 the cnow melts gradually, tho mois- ture will soak into the ground slowly and be of immense benefit. Such a thorough soaking of the ground will un eek the clements of the soil great ly increasing the soils fertility.
 Food is the most important thing in the world today. There is every reason to believe that the present snow will considerably increase the yield in that light, you will see that the snow is something to rejoice over not to grumble about. It may cause discomfort just now but all of us can afford to bear this cheerfully when we consider the increased production

KEEP FLANDERS COAST
Is Plan Advocated by German Ad.
 miral After War.

London, Jan. 12.-A dispatch to the Central News from Amsterdam says that Admiral von Tripitz, former Ger man minister of marine and the fore most advocate of Germany's subn,a- rine warfare. declared that while ,lte Germans must keep the Flanders coast, the annexation of Belgium to Germany was not necessary and that solution of this problem could be found.
 Regarding the political situation, Admiral von Tripitz is reported as having said that all sorts of things might be possible, but that he did not think they would go as far as an agreement on an armistice be which the operations of submarines could be paralyzed.

FOOD SHORTAGE GROWING DAILY
Harvests in Germany Poorest in Years-PeOple Are
 Alarmed.

Amsterdam, Jan. 12-The month of November marked probably the black est period in the history of the Ger man food supply 10. indeed in the actual supply, bu: ih the outlook for the winter and spring. The public lad already become aware that the breadstuffs harvest was pocG and the fodder harvest bad, but further rev. citations came rapidly during the month which must have an all but catastrophe effect on thinking people in Germany. The supply of vege- tables, it became known, is very inad- equate everywhere, there is hardly any prospect of help from the fish trade. and an alarming drop is shown in the prospects of the already scanty supplies of milk, butter and fat.
 Finally, oc1 top of all this, it be- came clear during November that the potato harvest is disappointing in the extreme. The quantity shown in the official returns is indeed so d;sappoint- ing that the authorities refuse to ac- cept the revised estimates, declare the farmers liars, and propose to call in the military to requisition stocks Moreover the quality in different parts of the empire is reported as ex- tremely poor, so that an unusual per centage of loss can be counted on with certainty.
 It is now regard d as certain that both the meat and bread rations will have to be reduced in the early spring, despite des. ..eratc effort to gather up all the remaining food stuffs in the occupied territories. This latter movement is likely to be ex- tended to extreme limits during the winter, with the result that the in- habitants of all occupied territories face the prospect of absolute starva- tion for Gernany's benefit.
 In an effort to stretch further the supplies Of breadstuffs, orders have been given for a wider use of potato flour, but this movement is found diff ficult owing to scarcity of potato flour. To obtain more at this time is not easy, for it is necessary to dry and mill the potatoes, which takes time, and just now more than the usu- al time owing to shortage of labor, coal and other requisites. Hence, un- til February, bread must be stretched with fresh potatoes, a measure of doubtful expediency. |,
