Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-06-07

the democratic whip in the senate,
and an enthusiastic patriot. has
taken occasion to speak loudly in
praise of Senator Shields and has
added his testimony to the state
ment that Senator Shields stands
high with the president.
With the most perfect candor
the Banner can recognize no rea-
son why a senator of such marked
capacity and high personal stand
ing should, at a time like the pres.
ent, be superseded in Office.
In making this statement of its
reason for supporting Senator
Shields, the Banner departs in no
respect from its position that poll
tics should be, in so far as it is
possible, suppressed while the war
exists. 1t urges 10 Senator Shields
behalf the same plea that it makes
for Byrns, Mr.. Hull, Mr.. Padgett,
Mr.. Sims and Others of the Ten
nessee representatives in congress.
They should be returned without
opposition. Nashville Banner.

The next important thing in the
Huntingdon chapter and her aux

Representative Sims, Of Tonnes
see, Monday introduced a bill to
give the franking privilege to all
state officials Of states who are
charged With the administration of
the state confederate pension laws,
giving them the privilege Of send
ing free through the mails under
their frank any mailable matter
addressed to any confederate pen
sioner under the laws Of any state.
Mr.. Sims has just received a let
ter from Governor Rye, of Ten
nessee, saying the increased post
age rate increased by fifty per
cent the cost to the state ID send
ing out warrants to confederate
pensioners.
MIR. Sims explained that all
mailable matter going to pension
ers under federal laws was frank
able, ard that while the taxpayers
of all the states 10 the union paid
the federal pensions, only a few of
the states have to bear the burden
of paying the confederate pensions.
He said it was ''only just and fair
to those states that they should en-
JOY the ranking privilege as to all
mai able matter made necessary by
the administration Of the confeder-
ate pension laws

Farm Notes

Farmers on the east side of the
county are busy with bumper
crops according to County Agent
G. H. Moody, who was in that
section last week. Crops on the
ridges were needing rain aud vel.
coined the downpour which came
with the first day Of June.
E. N. Conyers of Rosser has a
field of red clover and alfalfa
which has stood for two years and
yielded considerable hay and pas
ture. He has decided to rework
and reseed it this summer for a
full stand Of alfalfa alone. Some
pure bred Shorthorn cattle add to
the progressive appearance of the
place.
Joe Robinson of Buena Vista
has herd of thirty-seren Duroc
hogs on two acres of alfalfa near
Hollow Rock Junction. They fail
to keep it eaten down so there is
still nice crop of hay to save.
Jno. E. Rowland of Buena Vista
has a corn club acre which was
planted in fine shape, but poor
seed prevented a good stand. After
replanting it is now growing nice
", proving the advantage of thor
ough preparation.
John Wyatt of Buena Vista has
an acre of alfalfa which yielded
40 bales of hay (more than Z tons)
last year This year a good crop
has been saved and on May 20 the
height Of the second crop measured
% inches.
Hobart Knighton of Westport
has cotton demonstration which
is being cross narrowed while the
cotton adjoining it is scraped in
the usual way This field is at the
crossing of the Westport- Hunt
ingdon and Buena a-Clarks-
burg roads where it can be seen
by many people.
w. E. Edwards of Westport has
corn demonstration which was
well prepared and has been cult
waited only with the section har-
row. 1t is in much nicer shape
than the fields nearby and has TAX
en- little time for cultivation.
E. U. Gooch of Yuma has cot
ton demonstration which gives
promise to repay the care taken to
get it in right. Tiny little feeder
roots eight inches long on one of
the stalks taken up BY the county
agent showed that they we're max
ing good use of the well prepared
seed bed
H. H. Springer of CIarksburg
learned by experience last year
something of the value of velvet
beans for pasture and for soil i'm
provement and so has several acres
in with corn this year
Laban johnson of the billiards
community has a fine corn club
acre on land broken last fall and
double disked this spring, giving
fine firm seed bed in which corn
is growing rapidly.
r. H. billiard has a nice dem
onstration 10 cross narrowing cot
ton by the side of the Lexington
road. 1t looks fine.

any way to win, the Huntingdon
chapter and the managers of the

allotment was two thousand dollars
and they raised nearly four thou

With the drive over, many other
things confront US, and Hunting

iliaries are again settling down to
work. There is much to do and
great loads to lift. Millions of
gauze dressings, bandages, hospit-
al garments, and other articles,
must be made for our rapidly in
creasing army. Winter will come
after awhile and we must have
ready for our boys thousands and
thousands of pairs of good wooden
socks and sweaters. And we are
going to do our level best with
this as our motto:
IF any little word of mine
Can help to cheer the fighter,
If any little coin of mine
Can make his burden lighter,
God help me speak and work and
save
And gladly give and giving,
We honor show to all the dead
By comforting the living.
For all who fight our cause to win
On land or stormy waters
Deserve the best that we can give
From freedoms sons aud daugh-
tiers"
And as we settle down to the
long summers task let's make up
our minds to cheerfully follow
-
those who lead and not sulk or
complain if our ideas happen to
differ with our leaders. Let us do
our best wherever we are and
whatever we are doing. Cheerful
acceptance of conditions we have
not chosen, honest effort to help
forward the plans for good around
US, even though we do not think
them the wisest plans this simple
course holds higher heroism and
truer loyalty than any other we

as YET received SFo COPY Of the state
ment for transmission to this gov
eminent. It is suggested that Holland
will content itself with the publica-
ton in the official gazette. This, it is
explained, is the governments usual
method OF making public all its acts.
Despitei the fact that the press ac-
counts Of the statement received here
INDICATE that the, Dutch governments
differs with the United States and
Great Britain Oh the legality ard the
frisndliness of the action in requisi-
t;oring the ships, officials here insist
that the legal position CT the United
State Is urassailable. Holland IS un-
derstood to protest against the seiz-
urc of the ships en- masse and TO their
arming. Both these arguments were
ccnsidcrei in the negotiations, the
failure of which resulted in the requi-
sit;on.
1t is felt here that when Holland
July realizes that the United States
has taken full care of the Dutch food
allowance and Dutch colonial trade
the feeling that the requisticning of
the ships is unfriendly will die away.
Thara ic No ,,nSsihility of anv chanra
in The action Of the United States, it
is officially stated. The ships are al

statement, as received here last night,

and neither would comment formally

Toxic, April Japan has propos-

though if such move should be sug-
gested jointly by the Entente Allies
| it would receive the most careful con
sideration, said Foreign Minister Mo
| tono in addressing b. joint session
Of Parliament on the eve of its adj
journment.
After reviewing the present con-
dition in Russian, the Foreign Minis
ter said the Japanese Government was
not concerned as to what form OF
Government Russia adopted. At the
present, however, German influence
had permeated almost all Of European
Russian and was tending to invade
Siberia. which Japan must view with
the gravest apprehension. Conse-
ouently, intervention had been dis
crssed seriously at home and abroad
In order tc prevent misunderstand-
ings arising from false reports, said
the Foreign Minister, the Governments
welcomed the opportunity to make
the statement that Japan was not pro-
nosing or initiating intervention. He
continued:
"The Imperial Government neither
suggested nor proposed military ac-
ton in Siberia. Nevertheless, it re-
CARDS with gravest apprehension the
eastward movement of Germany.
Hitherto Japan has received no joint
Allied proposal, but if such a proposal
is received il will be considered most
carefully. This will be especially the
case if the Siberian situation becomes
worse, requiring decisive steps on be-,
half of the interests Of the Allies, IN
which event the Imperial Government
will not hesitate to take prompt and
adeauate measures in a whole-heart-
ed manner.
at is desired to make it clear, how
ever, that the Imperial Government
does not regard Russia as an enemy.
Japan will not adopt an aggressive
nolicy toward Russia, and does not
hesitate to declare unreservedly ana
sincerely the deep and warm sympathy
of the nation for the Russian people
