THE TEST is PERSONAL

M ORE and more we are
JUk learning by the acid test
of war that patriotism is
a personal quality, not a class
affair. There are pronounced
socialists who are eagerly and
courageously doing their part
in behalf of the country, at
home and in the field. There
are others whose conduct is in
serious question. There are
capitalists who come in these
same two classifications. The
same may be said of laborers,
of newspapers, of bankers,
farmers, democrats, republi-
rams, liquor men and prohibit
onists. The old order has
given way to the new. The
standard by which men are
measured these days is verti-
cal, not horizontal. When the
test is applied it often brings
surprising results. We find
sterling virtue at times where

THE WAR COMES FIRST

M HE American people are
VI more interested in win
ming the war than they
are in politics. The fact ex-
plains the very light vote cast
at the primary election. Ex-
cepting where war interests
enter in the voters are rather
Indifferent. 1t is just as well
they are because the war is the
one worth while subject these
days. If we win the war all
other problems will be easy.
Lose the war and nothing else
can make it right.
1t is a long time until the
general election and the cam
paign may well be held in abey-
ance until fall. There is other
and more pressing work for
the present.

SOAKING RAIN
VISITS COUNTY
HELPS ALL CROPS
FOR NEARLY THIRTY HOURS j.
PLUvIoUS is ON THE JOB
IN THIS SECTION.
GREAT BOON TO THE PASTURES
Prospects for the Farmers Have
Never Been Better at This Season
and in Spite of Labor Shortage the
Work is Well Advanced.

Maury county was visited with the
heaviest rainfall that it has had this
year from Saturday evening until
Monday morning. The rain began
shortly after dark on Saturday and
did not stop until during the early
morning hours today. 1t rained with.
out ceasing for more than thirty
hours. 1t was ground soaker, but
not a gully washer. The rain fell
gently and did no damage to the land.
Pastures especially needed good
soaking rain They had not been thor
oughly wet since the last snow melted
away. While the spring had been un-
usually early the grass has suffered
from the lack of moisture and one
could almost imagine that he saw it
gro waiter the deluge of the past
thirty hours.
While the rainfall was large it
came so gently that few of the
streams of the county were out of
banks during any part of Sunday. All
were unusually low for the season Of
the year. The rain will be of immense
value to the wheat and oat crops. The
latter has not had enough rain during
the spring and the growth had been
slow, but this rain will give the crop
a splendid start
Taking the situation as a whole the
crop prospects of the county have
never been brighter than they are
now. Everything is looking good. The
labor shortage is acute, but because of
the exceptionally open spring the
farmers probably have their work as
we'll advanced as it has ever been.
They have taken full advantage OF
every hour to prepare the land and
get the crops planted. Probably a
larger proportion of the corn crop
will be early this year than has been
the case in long time.

PATRIOTIC SERVICE IN
PRODUCING MORE POULTRY

Raise more poultry.
Your country requests it, not from
any selfish motive but because to
raise more poultry means that farm
ers will have more money and money
means prosperity.
Then again we need it for food for
ourselves and for our allies.
In Early February many expressed
themselves that, with a closed season
on fowls until May 1, we would have
a glutted egg market and not end Of
congested markets with low prices.
In places, we have had, it is true, a
50% increase in production and to the
surprise of many, eggs have, since
February 10, sold for 40% more al
any day than they did the same day
last year and feed price is little if
any higher than year ago.
No Tennessee farm should this fall
have less than 100 well-developed pull
let's for winter egg production. Set
enough eggs during April to accomp-
lish this; 800 we'll selected eggs
should be sufficient This means
about the same number of cockerels
for market consumption, which, if
fed out we'll, will pay the cost of the
eggs set and show nice profit over
feed cost.
If the women, girls, and boys of
Tennessee could fully realize what the
boys over there are sacrificing for
them they would be willing to spend
in return the little extra time neces-
sary to accomplish this increase by
setting the needed number of eggs
and giving the chicks proper care.
One of the best ways is to join with
the other boys and girls of your com
munity in poultry club. County
home demonstration agents are work
ing to develop these poultry clubs.

Quite number of women, represting

were present, among them being:
Mrs. Frank Everett, County Chair.

Gamble, Miss Elizabeth Whitthorne,
Mrs. H. 0. Fulton, Mrs. Wilkes Dob

The reports submitted at the confer

an ability that surpassed anything
Tennessee women have ever yet un-
dertaken. The achievements of the
women during the past year along
lines of war work have been very
gratifying. Women are always ready
to do their part in any emergency
that the nation has ever been called
upon to face.
The lecture by DR.. Anna Shaw,
chairman of Council of National De-
Tense, was a masterpiece. She has
all the qualities for perfect leader,
