persistent efforts having their origin in
Berlin have been made to get the
churches Of both neutral and belligeren,
countries to call a conference. which
under another name, practically would
be a peace conference, While the
movement received much support In
Sweden, Holland and Switzerland, il
has not met with favor in the entente
countries and America

secretary of the federal council Of
Churches of Christ in America, inquir-

WILL HE STAND FAST?
(Communicated)

There appeared in a recent paper
a picture of two war-battered French
soldiers, talking together in trench,
having just returnd from the firing
line to the rest trenches. Ono Of
them asked if he thought France
would win and the other replied.
yes, if the people at homc stand
fast"
In these words lies the whole sit
uation. We need not fear that our
hoys at the front will givc way any
more than the French people need
fear their own gallant soldiers will
fail. Those men who are giving II ore
/. than any of us-who are giving their
lives il nccc ss:iry. are the very ones
Of whose consistency and courage we
may be most certain. They will win
the war for us. if we ut home stand
fast.
Already the young men of Ameri-
CT have dedicated their lives, and
have gone to meet their fiery trial
and sacrifice on the battle line in
France. Hundreds of thousands of
our boys are now facing the cruel
foe. Into the trenches filled with
mud and blood; into the clouds of
poinson gas and the streams of liquid
fire, into the iron hail, and the whirl-
wind Of destruction, they have gone
with shining eyes and shouts of de-
fiancc, to fight for us, and for Il world
of brothers.
They'll drive the enemy back, WITH
OUR HELP.
Tazewell county, through its citi-
Zens, has taken over sector of the
Western front. Will we stand fast :
If we fail to put over the Third
Liberty Loan, we are slackcrs and
towards. as much so as would be Per-
shing's men if they threw down their
guns and fled at the sight of the
Huns.
Could we sit back i'm complaisance
and read such an account, what would
be our comment on such conduct?
If the question should be asked,
and it is likely to be by Pershinr's
men, "Will the Allies VIM" what
shall the answer be? And even it
should be the saline as that given
by the French soldier, how far shall
WE answer it?
Liberty bonds is the answer to the
question and in abundance.
1t is either buy Liberty Bonds or
force the government to lay direct
tax on land and other property, be-
cause the Government must and will
have the money necessary to finance
this war If you care to, put the pur-
chase of Liberty Bonds on purely
business basis. They are an anti
dote for taxes. They are an insurance
policy, insuring the success of this
war, and not only that, but insuring
whatever else you may possess in
way of property.
again ask, "Will we stand fast?"

\ BATHTUB, A SUMMER NECES
SIrY.

Mrs. Farmer, how about that bath
tub you vowed last August that YOU
were going to have this summer? Are
you going to give up the idea alto
gcther? | wouldn't. Think of how
muchit will rest you to have a tub
bath after you have been canning or
ironing all day.
You can have the tub without hav-
ing. water piped all through the house
Isn't there a corner of the pump house
that could be cut off for the tub so
that you would not have to carry wa
ter for the bath, except hot water to
take the chill off? A collapsible tub
can be bought for few dollars or n
movable tin or zinc one can be built
for small sum.
a shower bath is very much more
easily arranged than a tub bath. A
bucket to tip liver into an old dishpan
which has holes in the bottom will
make good shower. Two buckets,
one for warm water and one for cold,
would be better than one.
Get your boy working on the prob
lem for you, Mrs. Farmer. He will
solve it; for where is the boy who, if
he. likes bath at all, does not love
ashower ?-Helen Buquo, in Southern

is TAZEWELL A "SLACKER?

Mr.. L. l.. Greever, in an address
last Saturday evening in the New
Theatre, stated that he had been told
that very large number of the pco-
pie of this town, perhaps the major
ity are not observing the "wheatlcss"
meals and days requested by the U.
S. Food Administration, us means,
and the only means, of supplying the
wheat to our soldiers here and in
France, until harvest. Can this as
founding statement be true? The
speaker said he did not know, but
was told so upon pretty good author
ity. 1t surely cannot be that loyal cit
liens of Tazcwell arc so Indifferent
and selfish.
There are, at safe guess, howev-
err, many families in this town and
community, and also in other sec
tions, who have made little or no
change in their usual customs.
Buying Liberty Bonds and Thrift
Stamps will not feed soldiers. They
must have bread, and the best of
bread money can buy. Mr.. Hoover
tells us that Mt our usual and normal
rate of consumption there isn't wheat
enough in the United States to sup
ply the needs Of our own people and
have surplus sufficient for the needs
abroad until the new crop comes in.
Shall we divide with our boys who
are fighting for our safety, or eat all
and let the boys suffer? If even
hungry tramp came to our door ask
ing for bread we would divide with
him. If there were only two biscuits
we'd give him one. If there was only
one bisuit we'd break it and give him
n part Of ii. You have seen dog
share his masters dinner even tho
there was scarcely enough for the
master himself Are we so greedy
and "hoggish" as to eat our fill of
the very best three times day, Law
ishly and wastefully, and let the boy,
perhaps our own blood kin, suffer the
pangs OF hunger? Surely not, unless
we are degenerates. This subject has
been written about and talked about,
spoken about from every rostrum for
50 long row that urging, even calling
attention TO its necessity, seems SUI
perhuous and unnecessary, but from
he best information obtainable, even
from Mr.. Hoover himself, it is no
longer matter of doubt, but n GER
tainty that the people of the country
generally are not responding hearth
ly to the call to eat less wheat. On
the other hand, it has been stated
upon pretty good authority, that in
stead of eating less the people are
onsuming more wheat than they were
before, in spite of restrictions and
food substitutes. We don't know
about this, but the gravity and Sc
robustness Of the situation must be
pressed home and forced upon the at
tention of all our people. Ii is SAVE
