FORGIVEN

The voice Of man was heard above
the roar Of shell-fre and flame,
A voice calling out of the war-lit
night, "Christ" Christ, the Holy
Name.
The man saw in vision across the
Christ and His dripping blood
And the weepers on the hill, the place
where his holy Mother stood.
Christ! Christ" he breathed, "they
are fighting men rehind the line
yonder who die,
Their hands are stained with mems
blood and they are guilty, but SO
am |.
Look down on the war fields tonight
and forgive each of the dying men,
AS you forgave on the cross, Lord, so
will we forgive. Amen"
And there under the sky Of shell-fre
and flame, the man forgiven,
Through the shell-lit skies, Christ
waiting at the open gates Of heav-
en-.
And the men who came to cover up
his body with ths broken sod.
Saw smile on the dead mans face
as if death snlled in the presence
of God. ..

Hamblin county has a tax assessor
who believes that the assessment laws
of Tennessee mean what they say. He
lists the property at it's actual cash
value and requires the owner to swear
to his schedule. No matter what may
be said in the way Of criticism, the as
SCISSOR is complying with the laws of
Tennessee. However since no other as
SCISSOR in the state is adhering to the
letter of the law, this officers action
may not be practicable but it is en-
tirely correct. If the law cannot be
enforced or strictly adhered to, why
not repel or modify it? But were ev-
cry assessor in the state compelled
to comply with the statute and his
oath office, the problem would be sol
we'd. Were this done, our rate would
be lowered and the actual amount
paid into the county treasury would
not be materially changed. Give us
nlnety-six Ike Lanes, or better as
sessment law--orboth.

The Food Administrator only asks
that each individual eat one pound
less of wheat flour per week, one
ounce less meat a day, one ounce less
sugar day, and one-third
fats day. This is very sElail de-
crease, but should each person in the
United States adhere strictly to this
rule, the food problem would be solv-
ed. In year it would save 133,OOO,OO0
bushels of wheat two thousand mil
