WILLARD WILSON.

Eva, Tenn, April 11-Again the
grim monster, death, has visited
this community and the immortal
spirit of another of ons species has
been carried to the great beyond,
reminding US afIesh that we are in
a transitory state, fast hasting to an
eternal existence.
This time it was the dissolution
of eur beloved friend and neighbor,
Willard Wilson. Mr.. Wilson was
young man who possessed many
noble traits of character. One who
possessed character, Judging from
the manifestations Of his life, which
was founded upon the principles of
Jesus Christ.
May his loved ones yet plodding
along the rugged shores of time
fnd great consolation in the re-
membrance of those bright mani
festations of a reconciled attitude
toward God which this loved one
displayed, especially in the last
hours Of his earthly existence.
Look with eyes of faith to yon-
der sunlit shores of everlasting fe-
licity, and there behold the spirit
of your loved one now free. from all
that brings sadness and sorrow.
Behold him now in the presence

EGG SUPPLY is
NOW NORMAL

Nashville, Tenn, April 13.-A
telegram received from the United
States Food Administration, Wash
ton states:
"Rule IA prohibiting licensed
dealers from dealing in live or
freshly killed hens between Febru-
ary IL and April 30, has been amen
ded to end at midnight April l9."
This means that purchases of
live or freshly killed hens may be
made from farmers or other pro-
ducers commencing on Saturday
morning, April 20 and not before
that date.
The changing of this date from
April 30 to April 20 is in accord
ance with the policy of the Food
Administration to abolish all pro-
hibitory orders as soon as their
purpose has been accomplished.
The egg supply of the country is
now on normal basis and the
Food Administration desires to ex-
press its appreciation of the patri-
otto spirit with which this order
has been received and obeyed by
the producers and dealers in Tenn
essee. tits believed that the money
from the extra eggs produced has
resulted in increased profits to the
producers.
The Food Administration furth-
er believes it will be unwise for the
farmers to rush their hens to mar
ket as it will cause market gluts
and demoralize prices.
Hens that have stopped laying
should be sold first. Careful Gull
ing of the focks and the keeping
of those hens that are laying wiH
be profitable practice.

ever again harm or modest, but all
is one continued day Of peace and
happiness. Let that beautiful Wis
ion draw you closer to the compass
sionate Son Of God who made it
possible for Willard, for you and
me, nay for all men to be freed
from sin and prepared for everlast-
ing life in eternity.
Let us all be profted by these
sad bereavements by remembering
that soon We, too, will be called up
on to pass through the gates OF
death. 1t is not wise to put the
thought of death away from us. If
we refuse to think of it, we will not
be prepared for it, and when it
comes, we will be overwhelmed with
placK despair.
Remember, man is a being who
comes onto the stage of action, ez-
hibits few acts for good or evil,
steps off to return no more and
passes on to the eternal world new
er to have another opportunity to
perform those acts which prepare
the soul for eternal life.
May God bless, console and up

this noble young man who was
called to pass through the momen-

WHAT WE FIGHT.

The war was begun by the mill
tary masters of Germany, who also
proved to be the masters of Aus
tria- Hungary. These men have
never regarded nations as peoples,
men, women and children of like
blood and frame as themselves, for
whom government existed and in
whom governments had their life.
They have regarded them merely
as serviceable organizations which
they could by force or intrigue
bend or corrupt to their own pur-
pose.
They have regarded the smaller
States in particular and the peoples
who could be overwhelmed by force
as their natural tools and instru-
ments of domination. Their pur-
pose has long been avowed.
Ifthey succeed they are safe, and
Germany and the world are un-
done;i if they fail Germany is saved
and the world will be at peace. If
they succeed, America will fall
within the menace. We and all
the rest of the world must remain
armed, as they will remain, ard
must make ready for the next step
in their aggression; if they fail,
the world may unite for peace, and
Germany may be of the union
