INCOME AND COSTS.

1t has been estimated that the av.
'erage daily income of each person in
the United States is los cents, and
the present cost Of the war on each in.
dividual daily is 2S cents. This is a
considerable portion of our per capita
income, but nothing to compare with
that required in some other countries,
In Great Britain the cost is more than
the income by 4 cents day. The in
come is 70 cents, the cost of the war
IA cents. In France the income is 81
cents and the cost so cents. In Ger
many the income is "A cents and the
cost is 40 cents.
The cost of the war averages SO a
day for every soldier enlisted. The
total daily expense of the allies is
$1l5,OOO,OOO, as compared with$4S,-
100000 for the enemy. The expendi-
lures of the war up to August were
in billions-in the United States lit
tie over two; Great Britain nearly
twenty-one; France nearly seventeen,
and Germany nearly twenty.
How some of the nations involved
are going to pay even the interest on
their war debts cannot be figured out,
We have had various rumors of repu-
diation in Russia. In Austria-Hungary
the cost will be more than the nation
al income, No great nation in history
has ever repudiated its war debt, but
there has never before been such a
war which took all the resources of
men and money as this. There really
is no precedent for it.-Chattanooga

Leslie's Weekly remarks that the
war can't last for another year, as "it
is "too terribly exhausting." It would
be fine indeed if you could draw any
such conclusion, but you can't. Be-
fore the war started at all, most peo-
pie declared positively that such a
war was impossible, as it would be
too exhausting- the impossible
happened. During the first year Of
the war many observers declared that
! it would not last more than few
months, as it was too exhausting, but
it has now lasted well into the fourth
year, and the fact that it is so exhaust
ing has nothing to do with its dura-
ton. AS a matter Of fact, it is not
nearly so exhausting as is generally
assumed Much of the so-called ex-
haustion is really beneficial. Millions
of fiabby youths who never would have
amounted to anything have been turn
ed into cal hen. Millions Of women
who never thought of much but dress
have been forced to devote themselves
to helping their fellow-beings. Mil
lions Of citizens who saw little in life
but eating, drinking and dollar-chasing
have turned 70 the production Of
things that the world needs. Thous-
ands of lives are being lost, and other
thousands of fighters are being MAIN
ed, but it is better to wear out in use
full service than to rust out in supine
inaction or go down into degeneracy
and oblivion. The nation is girding
itself to the fray, and the release Of
energy that is going on is really con-

More than 100000 worth of poul-
try are marketed every year.
"The manufacturing output of Ten
nessee's cotton mills and other indus
trial establishments runs over $780,
100000 year. And yet Tennessee
ranks as an agricultural state.
Everywhere in Tennessee-on
farms and in towns-there is visible
evidence of the new prosperity that
has spread over the south.
''The manufacturer seeking outlets
for his products should turn to Ten
nessee, and with the cooperation that
leading Tennessee newspapers offer
new advertisers, even better results
can be expected than in states where
such cooperation is not SO generally
rendered.

There is no gainsaying Tennessee
offers opportunities not found in any
other state in the union. The middle
section Of the state is the most perfect
for agriculture that can be found on
the globe. Land is rich, and the eli
mate is such that anything that can be
raised anywhere can be raised here.
This advertisement, while it gives
much excellent information as to Ten
nessee, does not half tell its advanta-
ges. Tennessee is coming into its own.

PROSPERITY OF TENNESSEE.

fROoFEhlI1 Of 1ENNEOOEE.
In the January 10 issue of Literary
Digest appears an advertisementwhich
gives more real information about the
wonderful prosperity of Tennessee
than one would find in long search of
statistical reports. 1t shows that Ten
nessee is one Of the most prosperous
of the southern states and that it is
the section for manufacturers seeking
an outlet for their products. The body
of the advertisement, which was pre-
pared by the Massengale Agency in
Atlanta, says:
'Never before have the farmers of
the south had such a golden chance as
now to serve their country and build
their own fortunes at the same time.
They are free from debt for the first
time in generations. Most of them
are getting wealthy. Those in Ten
nessee produced crop in 1916 valued
at $220,8S8,000. Last year they did
even better, the 1917 crop of staples
amounting to $685. ,75O. The Ten
nessee farmer evidently had the prop
er conception Of the food problem, for
he raised 25,OOO,0O0 bushes of corn
more than he did in 1916. Tennessee
in 1916 led the 10 strawberry produc-
ing states, 1880 acres being planted
AN increase of 81 per cent over the
previous year.
"These figures do not include the
tremendous fruit and truck produc-
ton Tennessee produces annually
100000 bushels Of orchard fruits,
100000 pounds of nuts and vast
quantities Ok flower and other nursery
stock. The valuation of vegetables
and potatoes raised annually in Ten
nessee exceeds $15,000,000. Trucking
interests are rapidly developing. The
tomato district in West Tennessee is
one of the largest in the world. 1t is
no unusual thing for a Tennessee
trucker to clear $500 to $500 per acre
on one crop or in one season.
Tennessee is famous for her hors.
es; they carry away honors from ev.
cry race track. Fleece from Tennes-
see sheep won first prize in a compe-
tition at London. A Tennessee steer
won first prize at the international

Tennessee mines of coal, copper, ce.

more than $25,OOO,OOO,OOO annually;
