PIG CLUB DAY
IN OKOLONA
Tuesday November 10

Now that the war is over we
can put our mind back on things
we need to think Of.
Guns and shells are no longer
needed, nor are soldiers. All
drafts are cancelled and the fac
tories that have been making
cannon will go to making plows.
But the world must be fed now
and we are the ones that must
do it.
We should put on this Pig and
Corn show and make it the best
in this part of the state, that ii
will help to stimulate the produc-
ton of two of the most important
staple crops produced in the
south.
Eighteen months ago when !
came here it was impossible to
buy over a dozen registered Pigs
in this partof the county. Since
that time the county has become
full of them and we are now
coming to the point where we
| are ready to learn that the pure
blooded hog subject to registra-
ton makes the best sausage
after all.
Now is the time we will start
the Victory Pig Club. Every
club boy is entitled to be a mem
ber.
He must take a barrow pig 10
to IL weeks old and see who can
make the biggiest peice of meat
out of him at the least cost by
next June. We will then help
feed the Boys until they return
and will also have nice lot of
money for ourselves. A ten dol
lar prize will be given the winner.
But in the mean time don't
forget the corn and pigs here
next Tuesday, and the farmers
are reminded that every farm
product should be brought in to
see if you can't beat your neigh
Dor andwin the handsome trophys
which will be given away that
day.

Should Prove
An Inspiration
To Others

Just at the present time, as most
everyone knows, the subject of Lib
erty Bonds is foremost in the minds
Of our people--and justly 50. But, as
is usually the case, there is certain
class that have not gotten the spirit
of this great movement. There are
those, we regret to say, who have not
purchased single bond in either
campaign, men who are able to do so
men who without the least restraint
could buy many thousands of dollars
worth. It is to this class we desire to
call the attention of one poor man,
Gus Foulks, who resides six miles
East of Greeneville. Foulks' it is
said, has not place to lay his head
does not own one foot Of land and has
nothing in the world at stake outside
of the fact that he recognizes that he
is an American citizen and that our
government needs his help, his little
bit" at this time, let it be what it
may. This poor man bought a $50
bond Monday, representing possibly
the savings of life time. He did
not even know what to do, where nor
how to proceed to get this bond, and
was furnished this information by the
mail carrier on his rural route. 1t is
such patriotism as this that our coun-
try needs. 1t is such sacrifices we
dare say as the purchase of this bond
will mean to this poor man that our
people have to get instilled into them
before the American government can
feel safe in this great world strug..
gle. And It is to be hoped that in
citing this one instance it may be the
means of inducing that class who are
able and who have not as yet pur-
chased Liberty oBnds, to do so dur
ing te next four days. Greene county
must 90 over the top--and to do this
we must not have a "shirker'' in the
camps.

Russia Preparing
In Serious Manner
To Re-Enter War

Petrograd, April S0.--Russia is
preparing in a most serious manner
to re-enter the war, 50 far as pos
sible under the present circumstances.
The Pan-Executive Council at Mos
COW, on the eve Of the receipt Of the
forty-second ultimatum from Ger
many, adopted War Commissioner
Trotzsky's plan of universal military
training for all from sixteen to forty,
and the conscription of all workers
and peasants. Those not belonging
to these classes will be rtained but
not taken into the army until neces-
sary. British, American and Japan
ese representatives attended the meet
ing. All parties agreed that Russia's
slogan will now be to "return to war
as soon as possible"

Battle of Ypres Is Strategic Struggle

Concerning Employment Of Reserves

tarily shortened. The present battle
therefore, is a gigantic struggle on
the part of Fceh to save his reserves
and save the channel ports. Whether
in the end Foch will decide it better
to lose the ports rather than his re-
serves cannot be known at present.
The argument in favor of this pro-
cedure is based on the probability
that it will require more than Ger
many can supply to keep her front
intact to the channel towns for any
considerable period. A long thin line
might be cut at point that would in
volve annihilation for the Germans in
Calais and Bologne.
With the powerful American army
in France by the end of the summer
to increase the allies reserve strength
strategy might even then be carried
out if in the meantime Yon linden
burg reaches the channel
The Americans now fighting before
Amiens may be the nucleus for just
such an opportunity. 1t is highly
possible they are undergoing a post
graduate course in trench training
now rather than that they are being
used to guard any critical point Of the
line. For this purpose Foch is doubt
less using only the best proven veter-
ans Of the French army.

New York, April SO.--Dangerous
depletion of the German reserves
henceforth win be necessary if Won
Hindenburg continues his effort to
capture Ypres and advance toward
the Channel ports
The battle Of Ypres, which is the
first real battle for the channel ports
in the present series Of combats is in
reality a strategic struggle between
Won Hindenburg and Foch, concern
ing the employment ftheir reserves.
There is no longer any doubt but that
while up to the present Foch has re-
fused to hazard his own reserves for
defensive purposes. If Won linden
burg Is stopped before capturing the
channel ports and if the allies re-
serves have not been thrown into the
conflict, Won Hindenburg has lost by
all the rules of the war game as even
the German people understand them.
Not only will the total German
slaughter be very much greater than
the allies, but also the German front
will have been extended to useless
distance that soon must be yolun-
