mot a Morphine War;"

Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, in letter to
Federal Judge Landis, of Chicago,
written after Mr.. Gibbons had receiv-
ed a letter from Reed Lands, the
jurist's son, writes: UNLESS Ger
many is beaten, unless America beats
her, our national fate will be as ig-
nominous as Belgium's. Nothing
absolutely nothing-politics, cost,
rank, life, present welfare, nothing
should be permitted to interfere with
our effort to save our national eX-
istence. A Swiss statesman had been
quoted as saying that Germany has
been fighting the war with liquid fire
and the Allies with hot air. If there
ever was any truth to such charge
then it is time for America to make
it spell lie We know we will never
win the war by jabbing ourselves
with a morphine needle and then raw
ing about what an awful wallop we
are going to land on the Boche. This
simply isn't a morphine war-not
the way Germany is fighting it
and that is the only way that can be
considered if we have within our
hearts the will to win"

POOR SEED.
TEST YOUR SEED.

There is enough seed cor IN the coun
try if it is tested ear by ear and the
good separated from the bad. You dc
not know positively thai your seeC
ears will grow until you have trieC
them. 1t toe late to try them after
you have planted them.
HOW TO TEST.
Get busy today. Select your best
orn. lake few grains from various
part sof each ear and plant them IN a
shallow box filled with wet sa Vdust or
sand. First mark off the surface of
the sawdust by strings stretched across
the box, laying it off like checker
board. These squares should be about
two inches each way. Number each
square and one ear t. correspond.
Then place the grains from single
ear IN its own square. Cover the seed
by window glass. Place the box IN
your lIvingroom and keep 1t moist.
After SIX or seven days examine each
grain. Save for seed only the ears
represented by squares in which every
grain grew strong. Discard the rest.
ANOTHER WAY.
Ii you prefer, you may use a towel
and corn cob to make the test
Draw a line lenght wise through the
middle of the towel. Draw cross lines
every Iour inches on the center
line. Number the checks and the ears
to correspond. Place the grains in the
proper places. Fold IN the sides OF the
towel and roll 1t around the cob being
careful to keep every grain in is place.
Soak the roll in water for two hours
and then place 1t IN bucket and cover
with cloth to prevent evaporation.
Examine after six days.
This is not as tedious as it seems.
Test few ears anyhow to satisfy
yourself that you are in no danger.
TEST SHELLED CORN.
II you have shelled corn test hun
dred grains. You may have to get
get new seed or plant at a thicker rate. |
If the seed is bad, the stand will be
irregular, ton thick in places and too
thin IN others. "Replants' are Of
little value and pruper thinning is |
seldom done. 1t is easier to test your
seed ear by ear tnan to thin or replant,
but if you do not test, pant ample and
then thin to stand.
We regard this matter with serious
concern. There is enough good seed
if we will take time to tiud 1t. | hone
you will.
Very truly yours,
w. q. Adsmond,
County Agent.

TWO ACCIDENTS.

Some days ago two serious accidents
occurred near Vandever. John Hyder,
son of A. e. Hyder, sustained very
serious wound while making ties. He
was chopping with a double bitted axe
and as he made a stroke it flew off the
handle and it came down in such way
as to strike him on the rig shoulder.
The cash was deep and long one, ex-
tending from the top of the shuolder to
the spine. He bIed very freely and
was greatly exhausted when DR.. V. l..
Lewis reached him. The wound was
Hressei and the patient is doing well
but is ID very bad connItion. He has
q family and his resources are limited.
which makes the burden much heavier.
ESQ. A. M. DAVIS had leg broken
in two places below the knee few
days ago az q result of his leg catch
ing against stuup when he was rid.
ing on the running gears of his wagon.
DR.. w. A. Reed was called and re-
duced the fractures. Esq. DAVIS is
getting on as veil az conditions will
permit and will be able to be out in
short time.

NO MORE WHITE BREAD.
After Next Saturday Bakers Must Use
rs Percent of Substitutes.

After next Saturday all bakers will
be required ito cease baking white
bread and rolls. The bread now being
used can scarcely be classed as white
bread, for there is considerable per
cent of other substitutes and larger
amount of whole wheat is also put into
the flour than IN normal times.
After Saturday all bakers will be re-
CURED to use 25 percent of wheat sub.
stitutes, which Will not mean, as IN
the past, larger portion uf the wheat
shall be converted into flour, but will
mean that rs per cent of other graf rs,
potatoes or other substitutes must be
used instead of flour.
The bakers Of Tennessee are called
to meet IN NasvIlle today to arrange
for meeting the demands of Food Ad-
Hoover fer the rs percent
substitute.
This order has been forcasted for
some time but it has very likely been
hastened by the fact that the flour
pledges signed by the people to use less
wheat flour thar in pre-war times have
been very largely ignored.
1t seems clear that people will eat
what they want so long as they can i
get it and the only sure way to produce
the proper measure of conservation in
wheat is to force the people to use a
arge portion of other substitutes by
actually put 0g it into the wheat flour.
