What "his BIT" Really Means.

was intended to convey the impression
Of "his ALL" but the term "bit" as used
In this country rather minimizes the

"his bit" in sense of smallness rather
than in a sense of conservation Of their

TAZEWELL FARMERS HELPING
TO FEED THE WORLD.

We are reliably informed that the
farmers of Tazewell county are get
ting ready to plant larger acreagcs
i'll crops than ever before in the histo-
ry OF the county. They have realized
that next to the fighting men in win
ming the war stands the Turner, and
that the United States is depended
upon by the rest Of the world for
bread. Just at this time there is n
cloud darker than any yet that has
arisen on the horizon in the east,
that portends disaster unthinkable.
The Yellow Peril may rise up out of
the ocean at any time and make a
desperate attempt to break the brit
tie thread that connects us with our
army in France. In such an eventual
ity, food products will be needed in
greater quantities than ever before
TO insure an ample supply to our
fighting men. The increasing sub
marine menace has made it necessary
to dispatch more foodstufrs than are
apparently needed to the allies in Eu-
rope in order that their absolute ne
cessities may be met. The Govern.
ment has guaranteed to the farmer n
reasonable profit on his products in
order to stimulate the raising of more
stuff, but this is not the sole reason
the farmers are theoretically putting
forth extra efforts-thcy are inform
ed as to the conditions of the worlds
food supply and know that hungry
army cannot win battles.

AMERICAN AND GERMAN Eff

The searchlight of war has brought
out many interesting facts, and one
Of these is that the Wanted German

greatest farmers on earth. Investiga-
ton shows that in efficiency in agri-
culture, measured by the produce per
acre, America being graded 100. Bel
gum leads the world ut 2O5; Great
Britain comes second, at 1864; and
Germany third at 155; America is
fourth.
But the better test is the man test
rather than the acre test and here
America leads the world by over ?

duces 43 and Germany Al. The Amer
lcan farmer cultivatcs 81 acres, the
German farmer but 7. With the aid
OF watts quantities of fertilizer the
German produces at a much greater
cost per bushel and he produces much
less than half as much per man.

that it HIS become m cbscssion with

and pride in the fact that TaZewell
County has prepared in one thing if

has been made in these columns to
the organization of the company, and
many people are familiar with the
progress made. There are IA great

ance OF the object of these compan-
les which are being organized in the
different counties throughout the
State. The especial reason why these
companies are needed in this section
IS apparent to many. a great deal
OF the coal used in the war industries
and in the transports and warships
OF the United States originates in the
mines of Southwest Virginia and in
West Virginia. Any concerted action
on the part of enemies could tie ND
the coal mining industry and do I'M
told harm to the country. The inter-
ruption or delay even for day to the

In the Southwest would be disastrous
to the nation. Suppose, for instance,
that during last month, when the al

Tor food, and the hundreds of ships
tied up at the karbors waiting for
coal, enemies of the nation had
blown up one or more of the main

what one days delay in coal ship

WAR STAMP SALES MOVING IN
VIRGINIA.

Richmond, Va, March 5.-Corpora-
tons and the larger business institu-
tons of the State are manifestinp
an interest and spirit of cooperation
in the War Savings campaign that is
bringing considerablcp leasure to
those interested in the work. This
interest is one of the most cncour-
aging sings indicating the intimate
success OF the campaign, in the opin-
ION OF Thomas b. McAdnms, Direc-
tor of the campaign in this State.
Stamp sales have been showing an
increase in this State during the last
week and it is believed that the in
creasing mouth-to- mouth advertising
given the campaign is responsible to
a large extent for the individual pur-
chascs. However, those in charge of
the work believe that ultimate sue
cess can be attained only. through
the most efficient cooperation and
the use Of powerful organizations.
Much interest was manifested by
members of the State Committee in
the formation of the War Savings So
ciety at the terminal offices Of the
chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company. This society is composed
OF five clubs, representing the various
branches of the company and has a
membership of 500, all working hard
for the success Of the campaign.
Competition is becoming of the
keenest kind, and as result 500
Thrift Stamps, 25 War Savings
Stamps, and five War Savings Ger
tificates have been sold by the mem
bers Of the organization. Such or
CARNATIONS are recognized as DOW
erful factors in the success of the
campaign and it is probable that at
tempts will be made to have similar
societies formed in every lrage CITY
and institution of the State.

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING

Evidences are accommodating that
the habit of saving among American
people, especially among patrons of
savings banks and postals savings, is
outstripping the financial demands
made upon the government.
While no exact figures are availa-
BILE at present. it is known that postal
savings deposits have steadily gained
during the year 1917. and notably
since the first of july of that year.
which was after the first issue of the
Liberyt loan.
The reports from savings banks
also show n steady gain, and the
same is true of cooperative building
and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers. 1t is es-
timated that the savings Of the whole
people of the United States, ordinar-
lily S5,0GO,000,00O to $4,000, 900 900 an
nually, were increased to $4,000
100000 to 5,000,0000OO in 1917.
The repsonse of the people to the
national need of economy and saving
has been general and generous.

"rwo-roN ORDER" REVOKED.
You Can Buy AS Much Coal Now AS
Your Pocket Book Will Stand.

u.
Richmond, Va, Mar. State Fuel
Administrator Harry +. Bird today
issued orders from his headquarters
here lifting the "two ton" restriction
which, during the acute stages of the
fuel shortage, had been imposed upon
coal consumers throughout the state
and from today coal can be purchas-
ed in more liberal and substantial
quantities. The easing of traffic con-
gestion throughout the land and more
moderate weather conditions, joined
to brighter out look for the labor
situation, all joined to make it posi-
sible for Fuel Administrators Byrd to
take this important step.
THE regulations existing in Vir-
ginia governing coal have been re-
voked," said Senator Byrd, today, and
pending receipt. of the general policy
adopted by the Fuel Administration,
users of coal may obtain as large
supplies ase are permitted by the To-
cal fuel commissioners, who will be
guided in their libcrality by local con-
ditions.
"This revocation order becomes eff
fective today and will abolish the
"towton" policy in Virginia until
such time as the U. S. Fuel Admins
tration makes know it's general poll
cy. This order applies to all grades
Of coal"
At the present time the Federal
Fuel Administration is busily engage
ed in studying fuel conditions all ov-
er the country in order that it can
the more intclligently formulate its
program regarding the regulation of
fuel for the coming year. A state
ment will probably be issued from
| Washington within the next few days
In the meantime, without in any
manner desiring to create the i'm
preston that conservation in fuel is
not still imperative, State Fuel Ad-
ministrator Byrd reached the conclus-
ion that he would be justified in re-
moving the drastic regulations con-
filming purchases of domestic coal to
two tons.
Virginia has all along been in the
forefront of the more fortunate states
in the matter of her fuel supply and
there has been less suffering and less
Inconvenience to big business in Vir-
ginia during the past winter owing
to coal shortage than probably in any
other one state The State Fuel Adj
ministrator has constantly kept his
watchful eye over the entire situa-
ton and it is in large measure ow-
ing to his diligence and the efficiency
OF local boards appointed by him and
working with him that the crisis in
Virginia was met and solved in so
creditable Il manner.

LET HIM LIVE.

AS long as flowers their perfume give
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for Il million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears;
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the sailed brine of Scotchman's
curse.
l would let him live on Il dinner each
day,
Served from silver on golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but things to
eat.
And I'd make him 81 bed of silkcn
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down end fillets of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when TO its comfort he would
yield,
1t should stink with rot of the battle
field,
And blood and bones and brains of
men
Should cover him, smother him,-and
then
His pillows should cling with the rot
ten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier boy.
And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
He should never, never, never slecp.
And through all the days, through all
the years.
There should be an anthem in his
cars,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of
Moaning and moaning and moaning
A rayyaged French girls bastard
And ! would build him a castle by
the sea
AS lovely castle us ever could be;
Then I'd show him ship from over
the sea,
AS fine ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet
Laden with everything good to eat:
Yet scarce does she touch the silvered
sands,
Scarce may he reach his eager hands,
Inan hot and helllsh molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch on the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In "No Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the Kaiser private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass
I'D march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads they crucifed. 8
In the fearful gloom Of mis- living
tomb
There is one thing / would do before

The wonderful words of the "Star

COAL OPERATORS HAPPY.

The u. S. Fuel Administration has
promulgated Il new price for coal in
what is known as the Upper Clinch
Valley" field, allowing an advance OF
forty-five cents. This makes the in
dustry profitable, even to those oper-
ators who have heavy overhead ex-
penses, and obstacles to overcome
that do not exist generally. Some of
the operators were already making
money Mt the former price, and this
addition in price will remind them of
the balmy days of 1917, when six dol
lar coal was common.
The upper Clinch Valley" field
embraces all the operations on the
Clinch Valley in this county and on
Lewis Creek in Russell county.

Read What Father Lynch Said

X recent attack of pleurisy left me in a rundown condition. My strength did not return as fast as I desired, nor did my general health improve as 1t should, and bronchial cough distressed me greatly. I con- suited my physician who recom- mended Linonine. Before I had finished the first bottle began to i'm prove, the cough disappeared entirely and I commenced to gain in flesh and strength. Linonine has my hearty en- dorsement, I recommend 1t to all who are in need of builder, or who suffer from bronchial or lung troubles.
 REV. H. J. LYNCH, Pastor St. Peters Church, Danbury,
 1eR6-1905.
 Linonl Ie has been the most ef- fective remedy for all forms of coughs, colds bronchitis and wasting diseases for many, many years. It was best in Father Lynch's time, it is best now. If coughs or colds threaten to bring you low, or have already done so. 1t will bring about a rapid improvement, and you will be yourself again in @ very sort time.
 Look for this familiar trademark.
 All druggists sell Linonine.
