In writing of representatives in
congress Savoyard, special news
paper writer has the following to
say about Congressman Hull:
There is that modest man,
Cordell Hull of Tennessee. By
many he is regarded as the most
valuable man in congress to-day.
He has made special study of
the question of taxation, and
possibly he knows more about
the income tax than any of them.
He is saturated with the philoso-
ply of it, and if he remains in
congress, Cordell Hull will live in
history in the front rank Of
the very elite of wise statesman.

another man his place. then by
the same token and for the same
reason, President Wilson could be
turned out. They are in perfect
accord and both have been
equally faithful and patriotic.
The foregoing are some of the
reasons why the Courier believes
it our patriotic duty to return
Senator Shields to the Senate.
We believe they are not only
sufficient but compelling.
So far the opponents .of Sena-
tor Shields have offered but
three reasons why he should be
defeated. Briefly they are:
1st, Gov. Rye wants the place.
End. Maj. Stahlman is the
personal friend and supporter of
Shields.
Bird, Some eight or ten years
ago. in the unfortunate political
upheaval that so sorely disturbed
and divided the party, Senator
Shields ran for Supreme Judge
(not a political office) as an in
dependent, since which time he
has been a loyal. consistent
democrat, having been elected to
his present position by the regn-
lar democratic caucus, and hav
ing openly and loyalty supported
McMillin for Governor in 1912.
Can these reasons be regarded
as good and sufficient by any
fair-minded. patriotic man. in
this time of national peril, to
defeat Shields? We think not.
The fact that the critics of Sena-
tor Shields do not assail his
record, but instead harrangue
the people about Major Stahlman
and his alleged disloyalty
which can not be an issue, is
proof conclusive that his record
is not only good but invulnerable.
The people will Judge Shields BY
his record his votes as a sena-
tor-and they will not condemn
him because somebody happens
to be far or against him.
The man who would now seek
to rekindle the fires of factional-
ism. the man who would try to
revive party bitterness for polit-
/ ical effect, is very much akin to
a traitor and should not be
tolerated. Factionalism is buried;
politics is adjourned. !"

THE SENATORIAL RACE.

Inc Courier does not presume
to dictate to the people Of Smith
county as to how they should.
vote in tie coming senatorial
primary. and this article is net
meant as an intention to unduly
influence anyone, if that were.
possible. However, we feel that
a fair discussion of the claims of
the aspirants for this high office.
is not only timely but proper:
and we submit these observa-=
tons to the people for what they.
are worth and leave the matter.
with the voters.
There are but two candidates
before the people. Senator
Shields is asking an endorse
ment of his record and Governor
Rye desires the place. In the
pending national crisis when
factionalism should be tabooed
and politics is adjournedp,
what is our solemn. patriotici
duty as between these two men?
Obviously, if we eliminate fac
tional and personal politics, (and'
this is no time for either) Sena-=
tor Shields should be reelected.
And this conclusion can be east
ly reached without any dispar-
agement of Governor Rye, be-
cause all the logic of present
conditions is in favor of Senator
Shields and no good reason has
yet been offered why he should,
be retired just to give the place
to some other man..
General Chas. T. Gates, a man:
of conceded ability and splendid.
patriotism. seeing that condi-
tons were against him and real-i
izing that it was impossible to.
defeat Senator Shields, grace.
fully retired from the race, and
no doubt the Presidents famous
sentence. politics is adjourned, ;,
had much to do with his with
drawal. If man of such splen-
did attachments as Gates couldl
not hope to win, how could the
friends of Rye expect success
for the Governor, who in point
of ability, can not class with
Gates or Shields. Gov, Rye is a.
good man. but his candidacy for
the senate is utimely aud ill.
advised. and his Overwhelming
defeat is inevitable.
The reasons of Senator Shields
reelection are potent and many.
some of which are -
1st. He is a man of conceded,
ability and unquestioned inte-
gritty.
end. He is regarded by his
colleagues and the President as
the abIest constitutional lawyer
in the u. S. Senate today.
3rd, He has served but one
term and is asking an endorse

good.

political enemies are seeking his

COTTAGE. CHEESE WORKER.
Department, Of Agriculture Send
Woman to Encourage It's Use.

Department. Of Agriculture Sends
Woman to Encourage It's Use.
The bureau of animal industry OF the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has named Miss Lille Baxter,
teacher OF Ida Grove. Iowa, to encour-
age in Iowa the production Of cottage
cheese on farms and also to stimulate
it's use in homes.
Miss Baxter. one of forty nine women
agents named for as many states, is
to cooperate with federal and state
agricultural and home demonstration
agents. Miss Gertrude Van Hoesen. OF
Chicago, formerly teacher Of household
arts at the University of Chicago. is
the leader in the cottage cheese work
for the central western states.
The work in Iowa will be part OF the
department of agriculture's national
campaign, in cooperation with the
United States food administration, to
encourage the use, as well as the pro-
duction, Of cottage cheese, which ex-
periments by the department have
shown is equal in food value to meat.
Cottage cheese can be made from skim
milk or buttermilk, now largely wasted
or fed to animals, and it's extended use
is expected to save a large amount OF
meat which can be used by the armies
andy allies Of America.

PLANT CORN THAT WINS.
Thorough Seed Testing Is Essential to
Victory Crops.

It is generally admitted that more
seed corn is dead or OF low vitality
than has been recently recorded. Corn
is the basic crop of the corn-belt states.
Seed for replanting will be very scarce,
if obtainable at all, and replanted corn
always gives ali inferior yield. The
cultivation of empty hills is a serious
waste of energy, to say nothing Of the
loss of the corn. Every good farmer
knows that this year it is folly to plant
any seed which has not been tested.
If Of low vitality. every ear should be
tested. Testing requires no elaborate
equipment or special training. A little
care and few hours work may insure
stand Of corn and normal yield.
In view of this situation. the depart
ment of agriculture appeals to every
corn farmer to plant nothing but, thor
oughly tested seed. Any neglect to
secure the best possible seed can not
be atoned for later. Be sure that you
have tested seed for your own crop.
Do not rely on replanting. Help your
neighbor to do likewise. See to it that
no one in your community fails to plant
tested seed.
If you have not tested your seed corn,
or are unable to secure tested seed
corn locally, You can secure assistance
from your county agricultural agent
or your state agricultural college, but
the final success Of all efforts now be-
ing made TO secure an adequate sup
ply OF seed corn will depend upon the
cooperation and effort Of individual
farmers. Plant only tested seed.
Ordinarily a short crop is the per-
sonal loss of the grower. but this year
it means also a loss to the nation and
the allied cause. Planting untested
seed corn is to go into battle with un-
inspected ammunition. Your govern
ment appeals to each member OF its
agricultural army to make sure that
the seed ne plants will grow.
