FOOD CROP ESSENTIAL.
CALLS UPON
SOUTH TO FEED ITSELF.
Transportation Lines OF North Too
Busy Haulii Soldiers and Supplies
for Army to Carry Food for South.

Washington. March 21.-"If the
South this year does not produce it's
own food and feed and has to ex-
change cotton for the food and feed"
says the United States department of
agriculture, "it will be poorer rather
than richer"
The department is conducting a
campaign in Southern States to con-
vince the farmers of the South that
every important consideration makes
it necessary for them not to plant
more than the usual number of acres
to cotton, but TO increase the quantity
of Southern food crops. The depart
ment declares that the necessity is so
vital that on i. may hang the winning
of the war in Europe and whether or
not the conflict shall be transferred to
| this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
/ One Of the factors that make it abb
solutely necessary for the South to
produce its own food and not to rely
upon the north in any degree is the
extent to which the railways are be-
ing called upon to transport the men
and supplies of tine army. The total
present army of the United States is
| given by the war department as prac-
tically 1,500,Uv0 men. OF these SOO,-
GOO men are estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture to be in the
Southern States. On the basis of
transportation figures given by the
war department, it is estimated that
to carry the men from Southern
camps 62,290 cars or $500 trains. To-
required
In addition to transportation of
troops, there is the problem of sup
plying them with food for themselves
and feed for the maintenance of the
American array alone, transportation
Will be required for 1,7O4,32O tons
this year. On the basis of 10000
pounds per car this would require s5,-
ZIG carloads, For the maintenance
Of animals used by the army, trans
portation will be required for 1883
tons per month. With hay and grain
averaging $4,000 pounds per car this
would require S,O52 cars a month or
96,624 cars a year.
The magnitude Of the task of feed
ing the troops in the Southern States
is indicated by the number or7-,aSgs
camps in this section Of the coun-
try. Among The points where there
are large camps are: Anniston, Mont
gomery, Little Rock, Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon, Louisville, Alexandria, Hat
tesburg, Charlotte, Fort Sill. Colum-
bia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Fort
Worth, Horston, San Antonio, Waco.
Petersburg.
In addition to these are numerous
aviation fields and special training
camps at other points in the South.
Other items 10 be figured in the trans
portation demand are the haulage of
export materials to Southern seaports
IN order to relieve the congested
Northern seaports and the haulage
made necessary by the construction OF
ships at various Southern seaports.
The South must feed itself, SAYS the
department of agriculture. 1t points
TO the recent warning by Mr.. McAdoo.
director general of railways. that
transportation may be lacking in 1918
to haul food and feed to States and
communities that DO not provide for
themselves.

POWER or ICY RULES WORLD
Pain, Declares Woman Lecturer,
Should Never Be Resorted to in
Correcting Unruly Children.

woman Is lecturing in the East
on '"The Influence of JOY" It is also
an attack on the influence of pain,
which parents so much resort to in
the management of children. She de-
clares, according to the Ohio State
Journal, that pain should never be re-
sorted y to make children good, and,
hence, she advises that all spankings
and whippings should be eliminated.
There is nothing in pain to recon
struct child. Joy is the only medium
that should be used Make child
happy. instead of sad. is the gospel
of child training. The power that
lived, moved and ruled the world, she
said, was the power of joy; and this
was the influence the parent should
use in training the child. This is not
the way of parents. The rule is to
whip the child to make him good. It
cannot result that way. A kind word
and a gentle association are far more
powerful than rod or any other
method for producing sorrow or pain.
The other day we heard mother
shout to a little boy ''I'll skin you
alive" That is enough to make a
worse boy out of bad one.
mild power wins $. is an Did id
adage and every parent should take

AAPplEsT PERIOD OF LIFE.
Generation That Really Knows What
Gladness Is Has Not Eeen Born,
Asserts Church Paper.

Some sage has arisen to remark
shat human life UP to about fifty years
ago was not worth living-that only
the Inventions and institutions OF the
last half century have made life bear-
able. N
Unfortunately. there is no way accu-
rately to gauge the degree of happi-
ness of any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can knew for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is the
best that is attainable to lis, and lucky
is he who gets his share of 1t.
Happiness. like health. is known to
US chiefly through it's opposite. Health
is known through disease and pain,
and happiness through disappoint-
ment and misery.
The masses Of mankind, until this
century almost dumb. now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes of centuries are finding ut
terance in the free speech of our day.
The vail may cause the unthinking
to suppose that the sun of human
happiness is suddenly ohscured. But,
to the contrary, the remedies follow
ing the better understanding of wrong
conditions steadily improve the CON
ditioHs under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear of wrongs, the fewer wrongs we
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about it
until doomsday, and no doubt they
will; but the age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe is the
one that has been longest dead, and
the generation that really knows what
happiness is and can realize its full
possession is a long time yet unborn.

HALF SOLID HER SAVING BANK
Shoemaker Finds Eight Hundred Dol

Shortly afterward Engle picked up

Engle opened the first fat purse.
There was $500 in bills.
Then Engle turned to the second
purse. From that one came flashing
diamonds, necklaces, rings and ear
drops. More than $500 worth.
The shoemaker gathered up the bills
and the diamonds and put them safely
away and turned to his work. Count

Then a frantic woman burst into the

people realize the truth. when they
learn what base motives actuated their
rulers in condemning whole genera
ton of the earth to war and death.
Is it not shame that the world
should have been so disturbed? 1t is
because in the cold, dark northern
plains of Germany there exists an an
tocracy, deceiving a great people,
poisoning their minds from one gen.
Grafton to another. and preaching the
virtue and necessity of war; and until
this autocracy is either wiped out or
made pawerless, there can be no
peace on earth. The golden dream Of
conquest was almost accomplished.
A little more advance, a few more
wagon loads of ammunition, and there
would have been no battle of the
Marine. no Joffre, a modern Martel,
to hammer back the invading hordes
of barbarism. And there must be no
German peace. The old system, left
in control Of Germany, of Bulgaria,
Turkey, would only seek favorable
moment to renew the war, to strive
again for the mastery of the world
Fortunately America bars the way

who will allow no compromise with
brutal autocracy. {

]. J. Murphy and Peter Daugherty,
members Of the board of railroad
commissioners, addressed . meeting
in the opera house last Thursday at 2
o'clock p. m. The time was unfortu-
nate. resulting in small attendance.
but the addresses were both good.
Mr.. Murphy confined himself to .
discussion of what the board is doing
for the improvement Of grading of
grain. Everything possible seems to
have been done by our state authori-
ties in this line, but to make the
matter effective some congressional
Legislation is necessary. and efforts
are being made to secure this legisla-
tion.
Mr.. Daugherty spoke in behalf of
Gov. Norbeck and explained in a very
convincing way the efforts that the
Governor has been making to better
conditions. He took up the various
proposed amendments, explaining
them and urging that the voters sup
port them at the coming election.
He made some comparisons between
what may be termed progressive laws
affecting the interests ofthe farmers
in this state with those Of other states
chiefly North Dakota where the nom
partisan league is in control, and
showed that every one of the laws
that the league is taking great credit
for enacting have been on the statute
books of South Dakota for years, and
most of them i'm much better shape
than those of North Dakota. He
closed with aglowng tribute to the
South Dakota soldier boys, and urged
their loyal support at home, by in
creasing as much as possible the pro-
duction Of food products.

Germany Fears Revolt

James W. Gerard former Ambassa-
dor to Germany, told the members Of
the Society of the Genesee, at their
dinner in the Harvard Club last night,
that Germany would never dare to
bring back to their native land until
the end of the war the million f her
soldiers now held prisoner in Russia.
"These men," said Mr.. Gerard, "would
preach in Germany of the freedom that
they have learned while in Russia, and
would probably cause the downfall Of
the German Empire. Historians have
never given sufficient credit to the
French soldiers who helped us win our
freedom for later bringing on the
French Revolution"
The former ambassador also warned
against the Vaccinations of German
spies in the United States
Germany has admitted" he said,
chat she had 1000 spies in France at
the outbreak of the Franco-P russian
War. You can imagine, now that she
has grown wealthy, how many she has
in the United States"
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who also
spoke, praised Mr.. Gerard for his con-
duet while in Berlin.
"No ambassador in the last fifty
years." he said, "has to face so difficult
a problem and has acquitted himself so
we'll"
