PRESIDENT WILSON in FAV-
OR KEEPING UP THE
SCHOOLS.
Efficiency Should Be Main.
tanned Despite War Burdens?

The Department of the Inter
ior authorizes the following:
President Wilson urges gener-
GUS support for schools of all
grades during war time. In a
letter to Secretary Lane approx
ing the Bureau of Education S
plan for an educational compaign
this summer and fall, he says;
Il am pleased to know that
despite the unusual burdens i'm
posed upon our people by the
war they have maintained their
schools and other agencies of ed
ucation so nearly at their normal
efficiency. That this should be
continued throughout the war
and that, in so far as the draft
law will permit, there should be
no falling off in attendance in
elementary schools, high schools,
or colleges is a matter of very
greatest Importance, affecting
both our strength in war and
our national welfare and efficien-
cy when the war is over. So
long as the war continues there
will be constant need of very
large numbers of men and WON.
en- of the highest and most thor
ough training for war service in
many lines. After the war there
will be urgent need not only for
trained leadership in all lines of
industrial, commercial, social and
civic life, but for very high a.
verage of intelligence and prep
aration on the part of all the
people. | would therefore urge
that the people continue to give
generous support to their schools
of all grades and that the schools
adjust themselves as wisely as
possible to the new conditions to
the end that no boy or girl shall
have less opportunity for educa-
ton because of the war and that
the Nation may be strengthened
as it can only be through the
right education of all its people.
| approve most heartily your
plans for making through the
Bureau of Education a compre-
hensive campaign for the support
of the schools and for the main
tainance of attendance upon them
and trust that you may have the
cooperation in this work of the
American Council of Education. "

that often.

JACKSON COUNTY TO Be
FREE OF ALL SLACK

$4,000 Now Pledge Tt
War Stamps.

We are glad to report that
Jackson county is now almost
entirely free of Slackers. On
last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday more than 100
men who had been reported as
Slackers were in town with the
committees Of their Districts,
and with only one or two excep-
tions every man pledged the a.
mount the committee had assess
ed him. The large list of men
who failed to subscribe did 80,
not because they did not believe
in supporting their country, but
because they did not fully under
stand their duty.
Jackson County has now
pledged to buy $3lO, 900 worth of
stamps. Those who subscribe
are not only making a safe in
vestment, which is payable on
demand at any money order Of
flee in the U. S., but they are
also showing their patriotism.
We understand that the slack
er list is now made up from the
following Districts.

Dear Editor:
have been thinking for some
time that | would write to
the paper and my friends in
Jackson county.
| have been in the service three
months and have been in two
different camps. | first went to
Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. c.,
where | stayed five weeks, and
and then came to this camp.
have been in three different
places in this camp, and like my
present work best of all. We
have plenty to eat and nice quart
ers to stay in. The work is not
hard and ! enjoy it.
The Y. NJ. c. A. buildings at
this camp are sure nice and just
the place for the boys to spend
their leasure time. They have
muisc, writing material, reading
matter of all kind and moving
pictures. We can go to town on
Saturday and Sunday.
Army life ism n'tas bad as some
may think. Of course we would
like to be at home, (that is no
more than naturaD but we all
have duty to perfrom in serv-
ing our country, which is more
important than anything else at
this time. | am willing to do my
part, and the fighting ] will do
will be for the ones that are left
behind and not myself.
Two of my friends have been
home on a furlough, and on
returning told me about what a
good time they had. Of course
that made me think of home
more than ever. would be glad
to spend a few days at home, but
it dosen't look like | will get to
soon. But | hope there will be
a day in the future, that all we
boys will be at home again.
Of the twenty boys that left
Gainesboro April 26, only a few
them are together. Some are at
home, having been discharged,
some are in France and others
on the way, while some are in
different camps in this country.
Three of them are in this camp,
none in my company. We will
not be here long. and you can't
tell from one day to the other
where you will be. All we can
do is to get in close touch with
our Lord and do as we are told.
Boys | would advise you to live a
different life. 1t is easier to live
a Christian life than not to. Now
is the time when you have an
opportunity.
My prayer is that each day we
will grow stronger and wiser.
and that God will use us to cor.
vince the Kaiser of his sins, AMI
hasen the day that this war vii
cease.
Would like 10 near from all m,
friends in Jackson county.

Popular Traveller Loses Ord.
er Book.

DrunllnefS who travel IN
the upper Cumberland country,
and in the country districts, will
appreciate the following expert
encr of Clay Reeves, a popular
traveller with Herman Bros, Lin
dauer & Co. Clay represents
his firm in the up-river section,
and when he fails TO sell 'em til
hardly worth while for the other
fellow to try.
Mr.. Reeves doesn.t come to
Nashville very often he is usu-
ally too busy selling goods to
spare the time. But whenever
he does find time to visit the
store he almost invariably brings
in a big bunch Of orders. One
day last week Mr.. Reeves ar
rived in the city, and immediate
ly made a bee-line for the store.
After shaking hands with the
boss" and the boys in the Of
flee, Clay sat down at a desk,
ready to write up his orders.
Reaching in his pocket for his
order book, he made the start
ling discovery that it was gone.
He knew that his book was
filled with orders, but he could
do nothing without it. Thinking
that he may have put it in his
grip. he went hastily to his hotel
and searched every corner of his
travelling bag, but in vain the
order book was not there.
He finally gave up the search,
and started back to the store.
On his way back, however, he
happened to remember selling a
big bill at Double Springs, and,
as that was the last place he had
made before coming to Nashville
he thought it possible that he
might have left the book there.
The train for Double Springs
was about due to leave, and Clay
forthwith boarded it. On his
arrival at that hustling little
town, and as he was alighting
from the train, he saw the depot
agent motioning to him to come
over to the ticket window. When
he reached the window, the
agent, with whom Clay was in
timately acquainted, handed him
his order book. The agent had
found it on the floor of the wait
ing room. after the train had
left for Nashville that morning.
He thanked the agent heartily,
and proceeded over to the hotel
and wrote up his orders, and
sent them by mail. And now
Clay claims that his only alibi is
that Tennessee is a prohibition
state.

To The Sentinel:
Though the enemy launched
their long talked of offensive,
the clouds of uncertainty obscure
the results of this, the greatest
battle of all history, the guns of
which are being heard all over
Europe. With a due sense of
appreciation of the great strug-
gle in which we are now engag-

ty should do their part in the
general state plan for All increase
of twenty per cent wheat acre
age. Even if wheat is not a sat
isfactory crop for export in your
community, grow at least enough
for your family and your tenants
1t is your duty. If you live in a
wheat growing community where
it is a satisfactory crop, SOW as
many acres as you can care for,
and grow as much to the acre as
possible.
Give wheat a favored place in
the rotation by sowing it on ear
ly plowed sod lands, bean and
pea stubble lands. Prepare the
land as early as possible.
Fertilize the land well. using
lime, phosphate, manure and
straw.
Get the best seed available in
your community. Perhaps most
seed is light and chaffy this sea-
son conditions were unusually
favorable for the development
of scabs and other diseases. 1t
will likely be different next sea-
son; hope that it will and go a.
head using every predaution
known to guard against low
yields.
Use seed of the 1917 crop if
you have it. If not, search out
the farmers of your community
who produced normal yields or
better.
Buy heavy plump seed of them.
1t is reasonable to expect that
high yielding fields fertility con-
sidered) were not seriously di-
seased. Get your seed quick be-
fore it gets into the miller's
hands.
Grow bearded instead of the
smooth varieties unless the
smooth is especially adopted to
your conditions. Bearded variet-
les such as Fulcaster and Stoner
are more resistant to the disease
than beardless varieties.
Use the tanning mill or take
your seed to your miller and
have it thoroly cleaned of light
grains and foreign material.
Don't cry over spilled milk. "
There is no known method of
treatment of the seed to kill
scab. Get the cleanest, best
seed that you can secure and go
| in hard for your share Of the
twenty per cent increase, Trust
the season for the rest.

We, the boys of Camp Mills
feel that we are doing nothing
! more than our duty, when we
are sacrificing our time from onr
various callingss and drilling
studiously that we may be quail
fled to do our part well when ii
comes ours to take a more active
part in the realities of this strug-
gle, which will be just as soon as
we can obtain our required
strength and we hope this may
be real soon, for we realize,
that we are very much needed in
France to day, as there are many
men now over there and soon to
be mary more, who must be sup
piled with both food and cloth
ing and it shall be our duty to
supply one division of them.
To morrew morning we shall
bid adieu to one of our beloved
comrades, who is more FORUM
alto than we. He being a senior
in service has been selected to
precede us in over sea duties.
We regret to sacrifice his congen-
ial association, yet we are re-
joiced to see him go, for we be-
lieve he will ever do his duty.
We only hope to join him over
there in the near future.
Our government has conscript-
ed men from every calling and
from every state in the Union to
fight for this common cause Of
human liberty, for the protection
of our rights and our homes, also
for the establishment of world
democracy, of which our own
government is a type. To do
this will require men, money,
food and clothing. The men we
have, many of which are in the
field, others are going as fast as
ships and clothing can be pro-
vided. The only thing that re-
mains for us to do is to furnish
the money. food and clothing
which can be done only by strict
economy, yet we must do it. for
our winning of this war does not
depend so much upon man pow
er as upon our being able by
means of supplies to continue
this struggle until starvation for
ces the enemy to come to time,
which may require more time
than we had thought, for with
Germany's access to the rich
grain fields and supplies of Rus
sia she may be able to hold out
much longer than she would
otherwise have.
So let US arise inspired by that
noble spirit manifested in that
patriotic message of Mr.. H. d.
