4 CARD FROM MAYOR MASON.
To the Citizens Of crssnsvills.

To the Citizens Of cresnsvills,
have served as mayor Of your
city for nearly six years and during
that period have given almost all my
time to the Improvement and general
betterment Of the Town. There is
no one who knows this fact better
than you voters and citizens. Let
any one recall the condition of the
Town six years ago as compared with
its condition now and he win see the
tremendous amount of time and at
tention that has been required Of
its officers in developing Greeneville
from country village into modern
little city. / asked for the third term
as Mayor two years ago that might
be able to complete the work Of inn
provement we then had under con-
struction, and stated that would not
be candidate for another term. !
have made this statement to number
of my friends since, and ! will now
say that ] am not DESTROYS of making
the race for the fourth term. The
honor which the voters of the Town
have conferred upon me by three
times electing me Mayor fully salts
Ifies my ambition in this respect. But
so many of the citizens and voters of
the Town have solicited me to stand
again for election as Mayor, stating
that they did not deem it wise to
change the administration until all
the financial details Of the great inn
Iprovements put through in the Town
had been finally adjusted, and since
these parties have always been my
good friends and supporters, ! feel
limpelled at their solicitation to again
annOunce my candidacy. Naturally,
after having been elected three
times, / do not wish to be defeated
in my fourth race, and | therefore So
illicit the support of all the voters Of
the Town irrespective of party affili-
atoms. ! think have given satisfac-
ton to the great majority of the cit
liens. / wish positively to state that
every dollar of the public money
that has been spent in improving the
town can be accounted for. The pro-
ceeds of every bond sold was checked
out by myself and my bank and other
records are open to the inspection
and calculation Of all parties. Some
Criticism has been made because /
have not issued from time to time
in the last two years statements of
the financial condition of the Town.
In reply ! will say that the Recorder
got behind in the keeping of his rec
ords and it has been impossible for
this reason to issue these reports.
There was no other reason. have
absolutely nothing TO conceal in the
administration Of the affairs of the
Town. We have been providing the
services of two book-keepers to as
sist the Recorder in the recording of
his records and we hope TO be able
to submit at an early day to the cit
liens an exhaustive statement of the
financial condition of the Town.
Respectfully yours,
! D. P. MASON.

been given the Red Cross drive

BOYS LETTERS TO MOTHER
Missives Written From Trench or En-
campment Have Much More Than
Ordinary Meaning.

The soldier boy should understand
that he must do a good deal of the
letter-writing himself. He should not
depend upon the mother or sister to do
1t all. A letter from home Is a grand
influence but letter home makes the
writer truer, stronger and nobler. Re-
member every word the boy writes has
a mission in 1t, and that mission en-
braces himself as well as the loved
ones at home. A boy can make for
himself a fine character by simply
writing to his mother. He cannot hold
converse with her even by mail with.
out becoming better boy. He Is not
In near as much danger from army
follles and sins after writing letter
to his mother. Any boy who writes
frequently to his home will make bet
ter soldier and come out of the war
truer man. The army is school and
letter writing Is a recitation that shows
boys intellectual and spiritual prog
ress, and 1t will do what q recitation Is
designed to do-stir him to do his best.
A letter to mother is loving thought
of her and these loving thoughts make
the boy a brave, truer soldier.-Ohio
State Journal.

The Japanese Week.

In old Japan the week was entirely
unknown, and 1t was not until the pres
ent era that the ichiroku, or holidays,
one of the zones" and "sixes" of each
month Il. e., on the first, sixth, elev-
enth, etc.), were introduced. But that
was speedily abandoned for the week
system. Sunday is an official holiday,
with names adapted from the Occiden-
tai names, as follows: Nickayobi (Sun-
day), Getsuyobi (Moon-day). Kayobi
(Mars-day), Suiyobi (Mercury!day),
Mokuyobi (Jupiter-day), Kinyobi
(Venus-day), Doyobi (Saturn-day).
Sunday is in vulgar parlance also call
ed Dontaka, which is a corruption of
the Dutch Zontag, and Saturday is
called Handow-that is, "half-Sun-
day."

Club In Every Home.

There might very well be canning
club in every house. In few cases,
of course, the club must consist just
of the husband and the wife. But, in
the great majority of cases there will
be a large membership-som boys
and girls, a grandmother or grand
father, or both. And it could be made
a mighty interesting organization, be-
cause, in the first place, it would be
a military organization fighting for
the freedom of the world. Think of 1t |!
Mother as the general In command,
directing campaign against the
kaiser, and all the other members Of
the family constituting units In the
army, each with a particular and Inn
portant duty. A thousand times you
have wished that you could have
fought beside grandpa when he was a
soldier in a great war Here is the
chance. Three generations fighting
shoulder to shoulder on the right side
of the greatest war the world has ever
seeni

MAKING SUCCESS
AS HOME CANNER
Department of Agriculture Re-
duces Essential Principles
to Simple Terms.
FULL INFORMATION ON WORK
Small Children, Grandfathers and
Grandmothers May Be Efficient
Soldiers In Service Of Nation
by Assisting.

Anybody who can do good house
work and who will make a serious ef-
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
1t Is not necessary to discuss those
principles here. The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
in plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it-both general
information and specific information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition to that, the department of
agriculture has an army of home DEM
onstrators, experts in canning. who are
anxious to give practical. first-hand in
struction, and one of whom Is within
reach of practically every housewife In
the United States.
Operation and Equipment.
The operation is simple. Means of
instruction are adequate and easily
available. The equipment is neither
expensive nor hard to find. An or
dlnary wash boiler with some strips of
board at the bottom Is as good can
ming boiler as can be found. There is
no equipment required In canning be-
yond the ordinary articles to be found
in the average household.
The things that must not be so read
lxy lie "a nj nf auaruhndv
to see to 1t that all fruits and vege-
tables not required for immediate use
shall be canned and carried over into
the winter, to increase the food supply
of world that, for some time to come,
cannot be very far from the verge of
hunger.
There is, as everybody knows,
shortage OF available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds of labor that are necessary
to produce food. But here is an op-
portunity for those who cannot plant
and plow, harvest and gather into the
garner-an opportunity to make avail
able large quantities of as good food
as there is in the world.
Housewife as Director.
Probably the housewife, In most
cases. will have to be the director of
the canning operations. But, in most
cases, she will not have to do all, or
even the greater part, of the labor. In
most of the processes of canning, boys
and giris-even comparatively small
boys and girls-can be efficient help
ers. Old persons-grandmoth who
have ceased to be active heads of
houses and grandfathers who have
long since retired from buslness-can
do excellent work in helping along the
canning operations-can render as real
and as efficient service to the nation
as their stalwart sons who are growing
food crops or making munitions of
war or building ships.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-06-29
Practical cannerorams.

Get down to cases-cases of home
canned products.
A row of filled preserving jars Is a
good defense against winter.
Sterilized, sealed, saved-the three
ass" of home canning.
S. o. S.-Sterilize on stove-another
way of saying boil those Jars of fruits
and vegetables so they will keep per-
fectly."
The useful life of preserving jar
filed in summer ready by fall. emptied
In winter-hungry to save more food
next spring and summer.
A wooden false bottom in a home
canning outfit Is raft that keeps lots
of perlshable food from being lost.
An all-round good thing for the ma
tion-a rubber ring on a preserving
jar.
A fourth floor apartment is a fine
place to produce a canned garden.
Persons of every level should can,
the family in the top fiat as well as
the dweller in the bungalow.
You don't need even n foot of earth
to raise canned garden-in fact the
less dirt the better in home canning.
The colors of those jars of canned
and preserved products put service
emblem in your kitchen.
Brighten the corner in that kitchen
canned beans, fruits, ber-
ries.

Martyr and Coward.

A witty judge declared recently that
"a patriot was a man who refused to
button his wifes blouse. A martyr
he went on, '1is one who attempts and
fails, while hero tries and succeeds"
"Then what is a coward?" asked a
curious bystander.
"Oh, a coward" replied the Judge,
"is man who remains single SO that
he won't have to try.s

This is the situation at the present
time. The submarine Is the weapon Of
the German empire whose seacoast is
both small and completely under the
control Of Great Britain so far as con-
Germs its use as base for sea power.
Germany had, 1t is true, great mer-
chant marine before the outbreak of
the war. But she knew very well that
The Colorado statesman., 1918-06-29

that merchant marine owed Its very
existence to the forbearance of Great
Britain and that at the first breath Of
war 1t would melt away.
Germany, therefore. determined to
pin her faith on railways which should
pass through lands under her control.
This is the secret of the Berlin-Bag-
dad railway. This Is the reason why
Turkey was brought under her domin-
ion and Serbia was sacrificed. To this
belief in her continental destiny Is due
the desire to exercise her influence
over Austria. The fulfillment of her
plan involved the control of CONSTANT
nople, since only Mt Constantinople
can the water separating Europe from
Asia Minor be crossed. Serbia had to
be subjected to her dominion because
the only practicable path for rail-
way to Constantinople was through
the Morava valley which lay in Serb
ian territory. If Germany Gao control
this route she need not consider her
unfavorable position as regards the
sea. She will have a commercial high
way unassailable by any power. She
will also have a vast territory capable
of economic development. She can
finally make the present sea routes so
dangerous by attack from submarine
bases, either In the north or in the
neighborhood of Constantinople, that
they will have TO be abandoned. The
freedom of the seas will have been
destroyed, the economic unity of the
world seriously impaired, and the
work of centuries rendered of little or
no avail.
Must Destroy Land Power.
The submarine is significant to US
then not because through its use sew
eral hundred American lives have been
lost or because a few American ships
have been destroyed, but because the
whole fabric of international eco
nomic life is threatened. The only
way in which to save that life-and
that it Is worth saving none win deny
is to destroy Germany's land power,
or cause her to realize that the world
will not permit any nation so to con-
duct herself as to imperil ideals which
after so many years of toll and trou-
BILE on the part of the civilized world
have received all but universal recog-
milton. That we as Americans are in
terested in these questions is thus
quite evident. At first blush the in
terest which we have in securing to
Serbia an outlet on the Adriatic, or
in the rehabilitation of the Balkan
states does not perhaps appear. Nor Is
the reason evident, perhaps, at first
why we should insist upon the emanci-
patton of the Slavs submerged in the
Austro-Hungarian empire. A strong
Serbia and a weak Austria, however,
are absolutely necessary if Germany
Is still disposed to use the submarine
in the manner in which it has been
used. For only under these condi-
tions will the land route upon which
she has staked so much become impos-
sible. Only when such a land route
has been abandoned will Germany be
forced to return to the sea-. When
she does she will find it necessary to
observe the rules which have been
elaborated to protect the freedom of
the sea. Only when she does so can
we hope for a further development
in the direction of the economic unity
of the world which means so much for
human progress.

FOOD THE SOLDIER REQUIRES
Twelve Ounces of Meat or Its Equiva
lent, Fruits, Fat, Bread or Cereal,
Sugar or Sirup.

The general knows to q nicely just
what part each regiment is to play in
campaign, and the girl may learn TO
marshal the foods represented in the
five great groups so that she knows
just which group of foods will pro-
vide strong muscles to carry the sol
der into battle, which will furnish
strong bones to meet the onslaught,
which the heat for the struggle. and
finally, how much diiving-power is
needed to carry 1t through, according
to Winifred Stuart Gibbs in st. Mich
olas.
So, then, when we marshal our forces
u ounces of one, or of combination,
of the following: Meat, poultry,
cheese, dried vegetables, fish or eggs.
To vary the above he may count every
glass OF milk drunk equal to an ounce
Of any one Of the others.
The soldiers, either in home or mill
tary life, must have four pounds Of
fresh fruit and vegetables in order to
keep the bOny structure in good condl-
ton. He will need the three-quarters
Of cupful of fat (this includes but
ter, Oil, the fat Of meat eaten, or any
other fat in the daily dieD to keep
him warm, and to this group he must
add one and one-fourth pounds Of
bread or cereal; and finally, in order
to complete the necessary amount of
driving-power, he must have two
ounces of sugar or one-third of a cup
full of sirup.

NOTICE
TO
Water Consumers

Water rents for quarter ending APP
ril first are now due and payable,
and if not paid before Feb. LIST, will
be in arrears.
We hope our customers will come
forward and pay their rent promptly,
as we need the money badly.
1t cost us more than twice as much
to pump water in 1917 as it did in
1916, and Notwithstanding the fact
that we have cut out all dividends to
stockholders, we are finding II very
hard to collect money enough to meet
current expenses.
We are also finding that it Is TAX
ing much more water than usual to
supply the town, and we suppose 1t
is owing to the fact that so many Of
the people leave their spigots open
to keep from freezing, but we hope
they will discontinue this practice,
as it takes fuel to pump water, and
fuel is something We must conserve,
as the time may come when we will
not be able to get coal at any price.
Please call at the office, 1872 High
street, and pay bill promptly.
