AN ADDRESS TO THE PATRIOTIC
PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE
ON SUGAR

Everyone knows what patriotism
means. 1t means stand by your coun.
try, and this is addressed only to those
who are willing to stand by their coun-
try.
Those who are unwilling to stand by
their country are SLACKERS, and it
is your patriotic duty to report them
to your county food administrator, So
that they can be punished and pub
lished as SLACKERS.
The greaest shortage since the war
is in sugar. You may not know how
great this is, but your government
knows, and the patriot is willing to
take the word of his government. Mr..
Hoover knows how little sugar is
available for the allied countries and
their armies, and how keep the short
age is, and he knows that to maintain
in our allies the Will to Win the War
will require the last ounce that we can
spare.
How much sugar are you willing
to spare to win the war?
And to stop the toll of American
blood and treasure?
Our allowance is two pounds per
month, We can live on this and we
must live on this. This sugar regula-
ton comes home to everyone and con-
stitutes today more than ANYTHING
else the measure Of our loyalty and
patriotism.
Don't leave this to guess. Ascertain
the facts. You are either patriotic or
unpatriotic; you are either keeping or
breaking your pledge to the food adj
ministration. There is no halfway
ground.
Their are communities in Tennessee
which have not gotten their two
pounds because they could not get IT,
because other communities were get
ting more than two pounds. Help us
to expose these slackrs, who ar willing
to betray their country for the sake
Of their appetites.
Such offenses as these in times like
this, are a reflection not only upon our
democracy, but upon our common hon
esty.
The accomplishments of the food
administration in Tennessee have been
most gratifying, but there are some
who have not obeyed the sugar rguIa-
ton. 1t is not too late for them to re-
form and come over on the side Of the
allies. 1t should be a mark Of dishonor
to use more sugar than the monthly
ration. Patriots will observe the reg
ulation implicitly; others should for
felt the fellowship of decent people.
Faithfully yours,
H. A. MORGAN,
Fed, Food Admir- for Tennessee.

IRISH RECRUIT IN
NAME OF AMERICA
Change of Feeling in Matter of Send
ing Aid in Redeeming World.

Dublin, Sept. Sir the strenuous
effort which is now being made To
bring Ireland into line in the matter
of recruiting for the army the infu-
ence of America is being strongly in
voked.
lrist nationalists may not "ioin up'
to help Britain ont of tieht corner,
nor even France. hut Americas call is
another matter. Just now the call of
America is heard at almost every
,street corner. it is blazoned from pos
ters on the walls. it shrieks from the
columns of the newsnaners. The re-
cruiting council Of Col. Artlur LYNCH
have decided on America as the chief
stunt" in this campaicn. Hence. it
i in the name Of America that voupe
lrishmen are being called to do thei,
duty.
1t is pointed out that hardly A fam
ily in the entire countrv but has its
branches in the United States: hardly
one who has not cousin in the
American armv. The addresses of the
Roman catholic bishops of America
ere circulated broadcast: the work of
the Knights of Columbus is cited.
MESSAGES from individual Irish-Amer-
icans and from Irish Catholic associa-
tons are circulated.
The note of all Of them is: Where
will Ireland find a friend among the
nations Of the world if she sulks in her
tent and allows the war to be won
without her aid?
Information which comes from va
rious parts of rho country indicates
that young Irishmen are revisino their
views, or rather the views which have
been cut and dried for them by Ger
man and pro-German agents.
Ireland's contribution to the fighting
lire and to the casualty list has been
considerable. Still there is no denying
the fact that The country has slacken-
ed off the supply and that at time
when all the other allied countries are
men up to so years of |
age. For the revulsion of feeling
which is taking place American infu-
ence is mainly RESPONSIBLE.
1t is reported the authorities are
about to select representative contin-
gents of Irish birth or descent in the
American army to come here for train
ing or on recruiting tours.

TWO AMERICAN ARMY REASONS
FOR SUPPORTING LIBERTY LOAN
Grantland Rice, Noted Sporting Wri-
ter, Relates Two Dramatic Incidents
of Firing Line.

Lieut.. Grantland Rice, with the
American expeditionary Force in
France, sporting writer of national
reputation, poet of the James Whit
comb Riley stamp and American fight
ing man, sends to the Liberty Loan
committee of the second federal re-
serve district, two humanity vital rea-
sons why the 'Home Forces" should

the Somme to Alsace, along various
parts of the front since he went across
several months ago, writes:
"The sergeant sat at the edge of a
thicket just this side of the River
Vesle.
'His detection was so complete that
he failed to pay any attention to the

dropping here and there through the

This is just a sample of how the A.

what it has been up against.

DO YOU WANT THE WAR to END?

You do! Everybody does; the enemy

You are voting right now on ending
the war; you're saying in a practical
way how soon and how much you want
it to end.

KEEP THE BOYS WELL FED
Brownsville Can do It's Part Only by
Buying Its Share and More of Lib
erty Bonds.

Is there a man, woman or child in
Brownsville who would not willingly
go to bed hungry every night if il
should be necessary in order that the
boys who are fighting our battles 5000
miles from home might have plenty to
cat?
fortunately it is not necessary for
any OF us to go hungry ourselves, but
it is necessary for US to see that the
boys in khaki do not go hungry. I'm
Gle Sam must have money to buy food
for the soldiers, and that is why
Brownsville is asked to buy at least
$4,000 worth of bonds of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. There is whole lot of
satisfaction in the thought that
Brownsville, by subscribing only its
minimum quota of the loan,' will pro-
vide food for 10000 soldiers for a
whole day, or, figuring in another way
it will keep 500 soldiers wei fed for
an entire year. These figures are bas-
ed upon the government estimate of
43 cents day as the cost of feeding
a soldier in the American expedition
airy forces in France.
If Brownsville should fail to sub
scribe its minimum quota of $4,000
of this loan, some other town would
have to do more than its share or some
of the boys in France might 90 hun
cry. But Brownsville will do its share
end more. We cannot fail if we think
for a minute every time we sit down at
the dinner table in our comfortable
homes of the boys-our own boys
who are fighting and dying for us and
for the safety of our homes.
