grass seed drills that do fairly good
work on sand or loamy soils but on
heavy, clay soils they are an utter
failure. The narrowing will not in
jure the wheat but will be a benefit,
The high price of clover seed this
season will be the cause of many
farmers not sowing the usual amount
per acre and there is danger of
adulteration especially when the
price is as high as it is this season.

The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1918-04-05

THE worst Stacker is that Democratic official
who is dawdling around and doing nothing
but draw his pay
ITO THE casual observer, it looks very much
L like that General Eye" is sadly in need OF
an "eye-opener
WAS it fair to send the boys over there un-
w der the impression that ample war sup
plies would Immediately follow?
ALTHOUGH T. R. only has one eye and one
"A ear. he has backbone that defes the raw
ages of time and the denunciation OF Democrats
COME Democrats think that writing notes,
- holding patriotic meetings and passing reso,
lutions will win this war-at least that is all
they seem to be doing.
A GOVERNMENT that has the the power TO
"A take private property from the owners GER
tainly has the power to take wheat that the Peo-
pie may live. But, will it?
WE shouldn't be surprised if Mr.. MCADoo
w hasn't influence with Mr.. BURLEsoN to
secure for the railroads adequate compensation
for CARRYING the mails and parcel post.
NOTICE that l44,OOO baseball bats have been
lN sent to France. These, along with few
notes, ought to do great damage, but guns, air
planes and ammunition would do greater.
THE Democratic idea of correcting mistakes
is to camouhage the public with promises
and forget everything else except the salaries
they are drawing and how to keep in office
TT THE Republican party should resort to the
fragrant methods of trying to influence vot-
ers that the Democrats are now using, what a
howl would go up from the great unwashed.
DEMOCRATIC official always resents sugggges-
IL tions from any source, as they imply that
he is not on to his job and he feels that atten-
ton should not be called to his incompetency.
DEMOCRATS say this is not the time to worry
- people by finding fault. Neither is 1t a
time to mislead them as to the preparations be-
inc made to protect our soldier boys at the
front.
T IKE all the others, Democratic promises as TO
u our preparations for war are found to be
absolutely worthless. He kept us out OF war,
he put us in war and there is reason to believe
he is going to keep us there.
MIR McADoo's great grasp on the railroad
lNI situation was such that he couldn't see
that the railroads needed an increase OF freight
rates until he took charge. And now the peo-
pie are contributing to support the theory that
Government ownership is the thing

the same.

IJAS the Administration gone to sleep that 1t

chimes in which our brave boys must battle Tor
their lives? Those responsible for neglect are
worse than criminals and should so be treated.
WHEN Secretary BAKER said on February Il
w that the first airplanes were beng sent TO
to France five months ahead of time, didn't he
know it was untrue? Wasn't the conduct OF his
deparment already discredted without further
irving to deceive the American people!

THE "boys in the political trenches are nav

IF one-half the time had been put in trying to
stimulate production of foodstufts that was
frittered away in conservation, much more
would have been saved.
DROPOSITION has been made to let women
vote-and then don't count the votes he
publicans in the South were introduced to that
method, some years ago.
ONLY visible result of Secretary BAKER s abb
" sence in France is that the War Depart
ment didn't accomplish any more than II ne
had remained at home.
r EFT GEORGE do it! GEORGE CREEL is the only
II man who can successfully explain the dis
crepancy in the number of airplanes promised
and those that will be delivered.
IF the size of the Third Liberty Loan was re-
L duced becouse of an over-estmate OF ex-
penditures, it had better be increased and let us
see if we can not get some results.
A TTENTION is called to fact that General
n PEACE has never answered the question as
to why he dissolved certain injuction without
consulting the plaintiffs in regard to 1t.
TUST how Mr. McADoo finds time to run the
J Treasury Department, the railroads, the Fed
eral Reserve Banks, the War Corporation and
Farm Loan matters, attend meetings OF the War
Cabinet and play golf is best explained by the
results we are getting.

Food Administration.
To District Chairmen and COmmi

To District Chairmen and Commit
teemen:
Home Cards.
On account of the shortage of food
stuff and owing to our great respOn-
sibility to feed our boys across the
waters, also our allies, Mr.. Hoover
has decided that it is necessary to is
sue another pledge or home card to
impress US more forcibly of the inn
portance of conservation. The 9th
of this month was, at first, set apart
for the beginning of this campaign
but it has been postponed until the
End of November. You will receive
on or before this date your district
prorata to be distributed by you. Each
and every family must have one and
it will be your duty to see that they
get it. Use whatever method you
deem most efficient and convenient
in getting these into the homes-de-
liver in person, through the schools,
etc. Even though peace should be
made, we must still feed our boys
and allies until another crop is made,
and it will be necessary to save every
thing.
Sugar.
Merchants will not be allowed pur-
chasing certificates for sugar on their
nome tanner AIloaVlC any long
er. They will only get sugar for
home use, and not for canning.
Merchants will be permitted to sell
sugar to families in towns or thicl1ly
settled communities, two weeks sup
ply at the rate of two pounds per
month to each individual, and to those
who live in the rural district, or not
close to stores, thirty days supply at
the above rate.
Insurance Policies.
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
is mailing insurance certificates as
rapidly as possible. They are behind
for the like of clerkical help. So if
you have a kinsman in the army, it
is not necessary for you to write or
to be uneasy about his insurance be-
cause you have not received the in
surance certificate. 1t will be taken
care of and you will get it as soon as
the department can get to you. In
case he should die or get killed, you
will get the insurance all right. I
urge that every one take the advant-
age of taking out the war insurance
of 100000. 1t is the best thing
you can do to see that your boy has
it.
Yours very truly,
