KINGSTON, Tenn, March H.
How boys and girls can do the part
they are called upon to do in conserv-
ing food is indicated by a movement
which the Roane county home demon
stration agent, Mrs. Florence Foster,
is starting. Many boys and girls are
already in clubs and have definite
program to work out, but those boys
and girls who are not in clubs, who
probably do not have the time to
give to all of the club work duties,
can do much. These boys and girls
are pledging themselves, each to can

year. This campaign is meeting with

REALIZATION OF WAR.

"War gods Of the Prussians at last
have driven home to Memphis their
grim hellishness."
That was the opening sentence in
the Memphis Commercial Appeals re-
port Of the death Of five Memphis
soldiers in action in Northern France.
1t was grim and heart rending dec
laration to five Memphis families.
But that is the realization that is to
come to hundreds of other families
in Memphis and in Columbia and
wherever men have gone forth to bat
tie for the principles of liberty and
to crush the hellish thing of war on
the other side of the Atlantic before 1t
puts its bloody feet upon the soil of
America.
A few days ago the citizens Of
Nashville held memorial service for
a fine young man from that city who
found watery grave when stink
ing German submarine torpedoed the
transport Tuscania.
Other cities and communities are
feeling the keen edge of war as the
daily casualty lists are announced by

SPREAD THE SPIRIT.

NJ It's q pity that more people could
not have heard that sizzling address
on patriotism delivered last night at
the Garden street Presbyterian
church by Chaplain w. e. Edmond
son, who spent "a years Us a preacher
for the sailors. This grizzled seaman
Of the gospel could not be classed as
an orator of the finished tpye, but he
has that elemental Of personality
which draws an audience to him and
holds them in sympathy with his ut
terances, and the secret of his power
Is the sincerity of his words.
Chaplain Edmondson lifted the war
with all Of Its horrors from the battle
swept lands of France and Belgium
and Italy 1900 miles away and set 1t
down in the midst of the tranquility
OF Maury county, where people have
been profiting. IL not profiteering,
without making any real sacrifice
either to win the war for the prin-
ciples OF democracy or even to sup
port the fighting men who are keep
ing the war away from the very doors
Of, the homes Of Maury county.
This speaker was one that could be
heard with the conviction that he was
inspired by both patriotic and reli-
gious beliefs, for he has four times
offered his services as fighting man.
but has been rejected on account of
his age, and his prayer today is that
he could be given the privilege Of
laying down his life while facing the
enemies of God and Humanity.
! Governor Rye has called a great
statewide war council to be held in
every county seat in Tennessee on
the first Monday in April. The gov.
ernor wants each county to have a
speaker on that day. Maury county
could do no better than to make an
engagement now with Chaplain Ed
mondson to be the speaker in Colum-
bia on this great occasion. Siam

more industriously and with the fer
vor of patriotism, there would be no
reduction this year In the total amount
OF an-power-devoted to
the filling of the soil.
But this is question the import
ance Of which is so great that the food
administration has acted wisely in
suggesting as one of the principal
subjects for discussion at the county
meetings to be held on the first Mon
day In April. Conditions may vary in
different counties and, consequently,
may be handled by different methods.
The great thing to do is to secure the
laborers and then put them to work
in such a way that an avalanche Of
foodstuffs will be produced with
which to overwhelm the enemy of this
nation and the enemy of all other ma
tions that maintain liberty as the
first principle Of government.

part of war. There is no cause to
quail, There will be sadness. of
course, but It will be a sadness haloed
by the thought that these men who
are dying SO bravely, SO willingly. are
not dying in vain.
Every death of an American sol
dier will call to arms another, and
another, and another to take his place
to avenge that death and make more
complete the final destruction Of the
war gods Of the Prussians."
Columbia has yet been spared the
loss of soldier in action. Maury
county has not yet appeared on the
casualty list as the home of man
who has laid down his life for his
country But Maury county men are
over there. We don't know how many
or where. But we do know that what
ever number or wherever they are
they are giving an account of them
selves that will shed glory upon the
fighting stock of Tennesseans.
1t would be well for us to steel our
hearts for the inevitable message of
death that is to come to old Maury.
But until Maury county blood has
been spilled upon the battle-ground of
humanity we can not have that poig-
nant feeling of participation in the
war that will make us realize that 1t
Is our war and that 1t is a battle for
the protection of the women and
children of this county who would be
the victims Of the brutes of Germany
If ever they trod upon our soil.

BUY COAL NOW.

1t has not been long since the peo-
pie of Columbia and other communi-
ties Of Maury county were suffering
an acute shortage Of cold and that
at tmie when they were in the
throes of the severest winter for
many years. There is every prospect
that the war will still be upon us
next winter and nobody can forecast
what the weather will be. With the
war still being waged, the same con-
gestion Of transportation will exist
next winter and another coal short
age will result. Prices will be no
lower and we will have another Sc
ries Of heatless days with limita-
lions upon the quantity of coal that
one person or family may purchase.
To avoid such situation as that,
State Fuel Administrator Myer is
urging consumers to lay in supply
of coal now for next winter. He ad-
vises that domestic consumers lay
in not less than so per cent of their
full annual requirements during
March and April, and promises that
he will permit them to buy additional
coal later in the summer If they will
lay in so per cent now.
Although it may be somewhat In
convenient to have great quantity
of coal stored through the summer, it
will not be nearly so announcement as
not having any stored next winter.
The fuel administration has issued
bulletin to the county administrator
giving all the details for this prepa-
ration for the fuel needs Of next win
ter. Any coal dealer can give a pur-
chaser this information.
Consumers are given the privilege
of buying from local dealers or from
the mines, but the proper thing for
consumers to do is to buy from the
local dealers, because 1t was these
firms that met the emergency in a
patriotic manner during the hard
winter through which we have just
passed. They operated at little profit
and made as equitable distribution of
the limited supply as 1t was possible
for them to make. Now if there is to
be heavy demand for early deliver
les they deserve the trade Of their
territory.

FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

Z The state food administration has
set up the problem Of farm labor as
one OF the first to be solved in the
1918 food production campaign, and
has asked that at the, county war
councils, to be held throughout the
state on the first Monday in April,
this subject be given special consid-
GRAFTON by the people. aa
This Is by no means an insuperable
problem. Although the draft for the
army and the thousands of volunteers
have depleted the ranks of the toilers
Of the soil. and the great government
projects, such as the powder plant
at Nashville and the nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals. have also drawn heav-
lily upon the man-power of the farms,
there Is still enough labor available
for crop production on vast scale If
II will but be utilized.
There are two primary conditions
that must be created before any pro.
gress can be made toward securing
sufficient supply Of labor to pro-
duce the great food crops that are
needed. These are:
Willingness on the part Of the
landowners to pay wages that are in
keeping with the high bids of the in.
.dustrial enterprises.
Willingness on the part Of persons
who are capable of farm work to en-
gage In that form Of labor.
Under normal conditions the mar
ket price Of farm products may gov
ern the scale of wages on the farm;
but now the scale of wages is going
to govern the price of the products.
Last years crop was practically made
before the labor shortage had become
acute; consequently the profit to the
producer was much greater than he
would be justified in expecting every
year. because the advance in prices
came mainly after the crop was pro-
duced or arrangements for its produc-
ton had been made. The govern
ment Is so concerned about the pro-
duction Of an adequate crop of food
stuffs that the producers may put
their confidence in the purpose of the
government to see to 1t that those
who produce foodstuffs are going to
get price for it that will cover the
cost OF production with a profit.
After reaching a determination to
pay wages high enough to induce lab
orers to stay on the farm rather than
go to industrial works, the next, and
perhaps the more difficult, task will
be to induce men who have never
been farm laborers 90 take UP that
form Of employment. There is no
real shortage Of labor in the United
States. The shortage Is in the will
lingness to work. The army and war
industries have not, we venture the
assertion, done more than take up an
equivalent OF the labor wastage in
this country. II that could be acurate-
ly estimated.
II Is not laborers that is needed so
much as more labor.
II the boys who spend their time in
idleness during the summer could be
induced to work on the farms. and
those who habitually work on the
farms could be induced to wort
s.fs
