Get the Best Variety.

Some varieties of wheat will yield
we'll and others will not. What va
riety do you raise?
Some varieties and strains of corn
produce much corn, others do not.
What is yours?
Some kinds of alfalfa result in big
hay crops. Others give less. Do you
grow alfalfa?
These are big questions that
should interest any producer of farm
crops. If Tennessee farmers should
pay strict attention to the variety of
grains and grasses they grow, they
would be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars more than they are.
Each year would SEQ greater de-
posits in the bank of every county.
Sometimes it costs more to get
what you want, but when it comes
to getting high or a low yielding
kind of seed, it is best to go to the
high price.

Your July-August Chickens.

After chicks are sufficiently large
to wean, pullets and cockerels should
be separated and placed in colony
houses where they may have ample
roosting space. The colony houses
should be well ventilated, having
wire-covered fronts. This will pre-
vent crowding, sweating and, later,
roup.
July is a good month in which to
set eggs to hatch fall fryers. Care
must be taken to keep the setting
hens free from lice and mites. This
can be done by using sodium fuoride
to dust the hens and later the newly
Matched chicks.
July and August Matched chicks
should all be used for slaughtering
as the pullets of late hatchings will
not make profitable layers.

According to the Federal author

stated that George Sylvester Viereck,
editor of Viereck's Weekly, and for
merly editor of the suppressed Water
land, had admitted that he had been
paid 100000 by Count Won Bern
storff and former Austrian Ambassa-

Over the Sea.

In Union City, Tennessee,
There was boy that longed to be
With your Uncle Sam over the sea.
He welcomed chance to join hands
With the allies and their bands,
To whip the Kaiser and his clans.
But now as he lay in his tent awake,
He thought of home in the dear old

Home, sweet home, how dear to
relate.

Our Schools.

We believe it is our duty, outside
of any local prejudices, to suggest
plans for the management of our
public schools, and particularly for
the schools of Union City.
In the first place the German
language and literature should be
eliminated absolutely from our pub
lie schools. After the knowledge,
which has been established, of the
methods of German warfare and the
motives which have actuated Prus-
sianism in it's diabolical undertake
ings, the German language should
be obliterated from international
usage.
The schools which persist in teach
ing German should be branded as
slackers. The German language
should be. known, if at all, as dead
language, and if we have to teach
dead languages, it were a thousand
times better to teach Greek or Latin.
Now then; the greatest language
spoken and the greatest literature in
existence is the English. We should
first see to it that English in the
universal sense is taught in our
schools. We should be taught Eng
lish language, English literature,
American literature, the true democ
racy of the Allied peoples, the prin-
ciples of the democratic government,
civil and religious liberty.
There is nowhere on the face of
the earth people with more il
lustrious heritage than the English
speaking peoples. There is nowhere
a parallel in literature to the galaxy
of names headed by those of Shake
speare, Milton, Scott, Dickens, Ten
nyson, Burns. If we are to accept
other tongues then why not that of
our friends, whose gallery of illus
trious sons includes the names of
Moliere, Hugo, certainly no less ia
nous and truly no less brilliant than
Goethe or Schiller Men and women
of rational and healthy sentiment |
will no doubt welcome the decline
of the cult of Wagner, the master of
Baireuth, the craze for an erratic
and impossible music like the elabo-
ration of the Nibelungen.
Why not after all cultivate our
South American peoples.
Why German"
We cannot only afford to dispense
with German, but we can drop for |
a while during the war emergency
such things as manual training and
agriculture, until the school is pre-
pared for such things. The idea of
these things into the
school before we have been able to
employ and pay thoroly competent
teachers for other departments is
premature.
The department of agriculture
should be supplied with an expert
ment station or else it is a waste of
time and money Manual training
should be somewhat more extensive
than the present equipment
First eliminate all traces of Ger
man, then perfect the necessary de-
partments, and by that time the war
may be over and we can branch out,
but such branches should be cstab-
lished on bigger grounds.
If it is necessary we can dispose
of art until the school is ready for
it, but by all means if we have these
branches be ready to support them

NEWS NOTES.

DIR. william Bayard Hale, self
confessed head of the German in
formation service in the United
States, prepared the speech in de-
Tense of the Sinking of the Lusitania
delivered by DR.. Bernhard Dernberg
in Cleveland in May, 1915, accord
ing to Deputy State Attorney Gen
eral Becker. According to the testi-
mony the speech was edited and re-
edited by DR.. Hale in New York and
telegraphed to Cleveland.
Food Administrator Hoover in a
cable received released hotels, res
taurants and clubs from their vol
untary pledge to use no wheat until
the present harvest. Public eating
places, he said, would continue to
serve Victory" bread. The lower
ing of bars on the use of wheat be-
comes effective August 1. The build
ing up of an enormous reserve is the
cause for the action.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee ratified the tentative agree
ment on the excess profits tax. The
rate of from 80 to 80 per cent. on
net incomes beyond exemptions prac-
tically was adopted in final form.
The committee further approved the
tentative agreement on specific
exemption of $4,000 plus 10 per cent
on the amount of invested capital.
The military critic of the Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin admits that IAN
American danger is facing" the Ger
mans. Continuing he declares that
the Germans cannot allow the war
to drag on into the years of 1919
1920 because of the American mill
lions. He expressed the view that
the present battle must end in pre-
liminary decision
Air raids on a big scale on Berlin
and other German cities are not far

If Congress Were Adjourned.

II Congress Were Adjourned.
Members of Congress would not be
taxing the overtGxed public to pro-
mote their own political fortunes
thru wholesale abuses of the frank
ing privilege.
The Congressional Record, printed
and circulated at public expense,
would not be loaded down with un-
delivered, leave-to-print speeches and
other campaign matter intended sole
ly to serve Celfish personal or parti-
san political purposes.
The congressional distribution of
free seeds would disappear, as would
the prostitution of Government pub
LEGATION to political uses.
There would not be scores of po-
litical clerks and underlings about
the Capitol, paid for by the public,
to do the personal political work of
Congressman and Senators.
National legislators would cease
to be errand boys for Tom, Dick and
Harry in their districts.
Private pensions and private
claims and local legislation would no
longer clutter up the law-making
machinery.
The pork barrel would be bar
barrie relic of professionalism in poll
tics.
Patronage, as a trading element in
legislation, likewise would be only
shameful memory.
Both branches would set their
houses in order thru real and per-
manent parliamentary reform.
Congress would be organized, not
on basis Of political spoils, but on
a basis of democratic, business-like
efficiency.
Seniority, sectionalism and parti-
sanship would disappear.
National legislators would set the
people an example in efficiency and
saving by eliminating every nom
working, non-essential standing COM
mittee, which would mean about
two-thirds of them.
All the law-making business of the
public, from tent poles to treaties,
would be done out in the open.
Above all else, budget system of
national finance would be adopted
at once.
1t all costs enormously. A great
many are asking just what the cost
is. 1t ought to be easily possible to
tell exactly, but no one can do more
than wildly estimate.
Figuratively speaking, politics
keeps no cash register. Facts and |
figures are covered up. Secrecy,
subtle evasiveness, is a characteristic
Of the congressional political system.
Congress will not even disclose what
is paid to individual members in
allowance, to say nothing of
permitting the public to reduce
abuses like that of the ranking
privilege to dollars and cents.
Not all members play the great
game of congressional politics at
public expense. With some the blue
sky is the limit.
Congressman Fuller, of Massa
chusetts, spends no public money on
private or party politics. At the
other extreme it is conceivable that
he most professional and expert
politician may use directly and indi-
rectly as much as a million dollars
