Notice TO Food
Administrators
Dr. H. a. Morgan, Federal Food

Dr. HI Al Morgan, Federal Food
Administrator for Tennessee h6s
'rUnrIi1rfcated the followins 70 me
various county administrators;
Under the regulations Of the
United States food administration,
effective since November l, retailers
who violate the food control act by
charging excessive prices for neces-
sary food may have their supply cut
off. While the smaller retailers of
food are exempt from the licensing
provisions of the act, they are SUBJ
ject to the provisions of section A of
the law, which forbids excessive
prices on necessaries, boarding, de-
stroying foods or conspiring to re-
strict production.
The President, in executive or
der of November 27, authorized and
directed the United States food ad-
ministrators in prescribing regula-
tions for licensees, under section S,
food control act:
To find that a just, reasonable
and fair profit in the nomal average
profit which persons engaged in the
same business and place obtained
prior to July /, 1914, under free
competitive conditions-to indicate
if he shall see fit to do so, what
margin over cost will return such
a just, reasonable and fair profit;
and to take such legal steps as are
authorized by said act to prohibit
the taking of any greater profit.
The food administration has
power to instruct wholesale dealers
and ether food-handling industries
under license not to supply retailers
who are violating the provisions of
the act. There is no intention to
disturb legitimate business, and the
food administration will initiate
measures against only those who
are taking advantage of war condi-
tions to exact unreasonable profits
on staple necessaries.

Buy Pig and
Make Your Meat.

The national government through
the food admistration, having ask
ed this State to increase its hog pro-
duction fifteen per cent. in the year
1888, it will behoove each and ev-
cry household to figure on the pos
sibility of profit in buying and keep
ing pig We can say with GER
tainty that any family that makes
a garden can keep a pig and thus
find a market for the refuse green
stuffs and slops which would other
wise be a clear loss. Not long ago
we gave our experience in keeping
and fattening three hogs in 1917
and that experience has encouraged
us to increase the number to four
this year. The writer made a big
and good garden last year, feeding
much of the green stuff to the three
hogs and when they we're butchered
we found that wit h a cost of less
than $4,000 we had NOSE than
$4,000 worth of pork. Pig pens
in town can be kept clean and the
urgent need Of the year will GER
talnly make the town officials leni-
ent while vigilant. The lazy man
and "sawciety" woman have no
business with pig on the place
and these times have no business
with the lazy man and the saw
ciety' woman. More pigs and less
ish-heeled shoes are going to be
needed in the Year of Our Lord

RADICAL CHANGES
IN RAILROAD SER
VICE over U. S,

There have already been and will
be more radical changes in the
railroad service and general conduct
Of railroad business all over the
country and which will affect, to a
great extent, the entire 100000
miles of railways in the United
States.
In the first place, the roads some
time ago began to call in all travel
ing passenger and freight agents,
from the reason that the govern
ment has taken the dictation OFT
Of the hands OF the companies and
placed same subject TO the order of
Vim. G. McAdoo.
The next move, which has doubt
less already begun to take place, is
the withdrawal Of passenger SER
vice on many if not all roads, pos
sibly including the Louisville &
Nashville and the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis and at the least
it is is most probable that passen-
ser trains which have been run on
certain roads in competion with
certain trains on others will be dis
continued, for all the roads are now
practically blended into one system
and will be conducted in the man-
ner most conducive to war move
lnents and for the purpose Of quick
est bringing supplies to designated
points.

Banner and ReDnh=
lican Seem to Agree.

Chairman J. viii Taylor of the
Republican state executive COM
mittee has called that body to meet
in this city Jan. ID to set a date
and make plans for state conven-
ton to nominate candidates for the
Supreme Court and Court of Civil
Appeals. How much better it
would be for the committee to de-
termine not to call g convention,
but recommend that Republicans
do not make any nominations. The
Oemocrotic nominees are sure to
be elected and the year 1918 will
be good one for the elimination
of as much politics as possible -
Nashville Banner.
If "gentleman's agreement"
could be made by both parties
there is no good reason why this
year should not be without heat
ed political fight. 1t would mean
that the Republican party in Car
roll county would not have oppo-
sition and the conservation of
energy and money would be con-
siderable. The action of Democrats
will determine whether there is any
ground for the Banners suggestion.
The Republican has had its fill of
fusion, but this is not fusion. The
Republicans and Democrats can
solve the problem by voting for the
nominees of the dominant party in
state, district and county. The Ban
ners suggestion is worthy of con-
sideration. on.--Tennessee Republican.

MARSHAL
GENERAL CROWDER
MAKES PROMISE.

1t was given out from Washing
ton last Friday that Provost Mar
shall General Crowder in reporting to
Congress on the progress of the
draft, made the definite promise
not to take for army duty at pres
ent any other men than those list
ed in class one of the new draft
QUESTIONABLE, which class excludes
married men entirely whose wives
or families are dependent on them
for support, as we'll as other men
with dependents. General Crowder
estimates that from this class can
be secured million men physically
fit for army duty and he thinks
that number will be sufficient to
meet the present military needs of
the nation, but to assure the future
supply for those needs he recon-
mends that men who have reached
the age of Fl since the first draft
June 5, 1919 and who become of
age hereafter shall be added to
class one as they become available.
1t is estimated that this will supply
100000 men a year. The number
of men who registered themselves
last June was 9,586,505 and up to
late In December but $3.50 arrests
mad been made of those who sought
to evade registration. OF that num-
Der 2,265 registered later and were
released and zoos cases remained
to be prosecuted.

Wise Words From
a Big, Broad Man,

Z y i J. " " .
Persons who seek to stir up party
anlmosities or appeal to class preju-
dices while the war goes on are trai-
tors to the nation, whether they
know it or not" William Howard
Taft, former president of the United
States, declared at Springfield, Ill.
There may be injustices which
must be cured, but they can wait"
he said. They can wait until we
win that which will save US the
boat in which we are riding on the
sea. We are fighting for our lives"
Continuing the speaker said:
Nov We are having investigations
in Washington that are showing de-
feet; investigations that are bring
ing home to us the difficulties that
a republic with the machinery of
peace finds in becoming for time
a militaristic nation able to measure
swords with an adversary that has
been preparing for so years to con-
quer the world, and we must not
withhold our expressions, providing
they are made in proper spirit, but
when you find men using arguments
that are meant to be demagogic ap-
peals, you can mark down the de-
gree of their patriotism"

Vice. No one performing this SER

has charged reeistrants, nor unless
he agrees not to charge them. All
lawyers who have charged for aid

EARL COCHRAN one
OF HON0RED CADETS

Mrs. George W. Cochran, Sr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Chichester returned this
morning from Culver, Ind, where
they spent Easter week with Earl
Cochran, who is a cadet at the Gull
yer military academy.
Earl is taking, along with his
other studies, cavalry, which is one
of the most popular features Of the
practical instruction afforded by the
academy, the methods of instruction
being those Of the regular United
States cavalry service. The most
proficient riders of the $50 boys TAX
ing cavalry ;.re enrolled as the Black
Horse Troop, and this troop is we'll
known over the country because OF
the military appearance and good
horsemanship Of it's troopers. The
Black Horse Troop is shipped to
Washington at presidential Inaugural
tions and there have the honor of
acting as personal escort to the vice
president.
At Easter time, the cavalry men
were given tryout to fill ten vacan-
cies in the troop and out Of the $50
boys making the trial, Cadet Coch-
ran was selected as one of the ten
best riders chosen for the Black
Horse Troop. This is a great honor
and the highest compliment to the
horsemanship of the cadet.
