Will Battle for Retention.

Advocates of government ownership
admit frankly that they will put up a
fight to have the government take per-
manent possession Of the roads and
wires. They are not confined either to
the democratic or republican party.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, democratic
whip of the Senate. sounded a warning
of what was to come when. in an ad-
dress to the Senate not long ago, he
declared himself in favor of govern
ment ownership, and said it was an
issue that should be espoused by the
democratic party. There are govern
ment ownership supporters among the
republicans Among these are Senators

Situation Will Be Changed.
Since the railroads and the wires
were SdhSu OVoT Ny InS government,
the railroad and wire men Of the
country have had little to say about
the matter. The country was at war
and they offered their cooperation to
aid in winning the war. But once
peace is made, the situation will be
entirely different and, it is predicted.
they will not be slow to put before
the country arguments against gov
eminent ownership. They will likely
insist that they could have operated
the roads and the wires more efficient
ly than the government had they been
allowed to increase rates, as the gov
eminent has increased them. They
will point to the high rates on the
roads and the slow delivery of tele-
graph messages under government
control as good reasons why these
utilities should be again intrusted to
private operation.
Also the country will be in debt bill
lions of dollars for war expenditures,
and taxes must remain high for some
years to come. The railroad and wire
men will ask whether the government
wishes to roll up billions more of debt
for the taxpayers to pay for the sake
of taking over permanently the rail-
roads and the wires. when the public
will have to pay as much as or more
than they would have to pay for SINH
lar services under the operation by
the old owners.

RABBIT FOOD WEEK"

Why the American People
Should Breed Rabbits
For Food.

horsemeat in butcher shops will soon
be formally placed before the Do

granted. Then our next door neigh
bors to the north will be eating horse.
meat as they have been doing in
countries both across the Atlantic and
the Pacific.
Meat is in demand now in our
United States and for our allies. The
food administration is urging us to
have backyard gardens" "Raise
pig" "save meat" and In every way
conserve food and meat is one special
article in demand. Hogs III town are
almost an impossibility; chickens and
gardens are hard to manage together
in small town lot.
Rabbits require little room, can be
fed at an average of not more than
eight cents apiece per month. They
will eat most anything: corn shucks,
bean vines, morning glory vines, etc,
and in the winter when there is no
green feed they eat hay, oats, beets,
fodder and most anything a sheep Or
COW will eat.
Young rabbit meat is tender and
nutritious, even more savory than
young chicken. "The food value Of
RABBIT venison is recognized by nearly
all doctors. A New York physician,
writing in the California Cultivator,
gives the following interesting table:
Beef gives So percent net nutriment.
Mutton gives SIS percent net nutri-
ment
Pork gives rs percent net nutriment.
Chicken gives so percent net nutri-
ment.
Rabbit gives s3 percent net nutri-
ment."

solve the meat question,

IN FLANDERS FIELps.

In Flanders fields the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our places, and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from failing hands we throw
The torch, Be yours to lift it high
If We break faith with US who die
We shall not sleep, tho poppies blow
In Flanders fields.
In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And ftful flashes like the gloom,
While above like eagles fly,
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders fields,
Sleep on, We brave, The shrieking
she'll,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury Of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is well,
Your flaming torch aloft we bear
With burning heart and oath we
swear
To keep the faith, to fight it thru,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

George G. Lannon's
Died Last Night


While it was not unexpected to
many Of our people, the death Of Mr..
Geo. G. Lannon's, which occurred at
his home IN West Irish street, at 10
o'clock alst night, ibrngs sadness to
thousands Of Greene county citizens.
Mr.. Lannon's had very wide ac-
quaintance both in and out Of the
county, and it is we'll within the
bounds Of truth to say that no man
had more warm personal friends than
he. He was held in high esteem be-
cause Of his big heart. Much Of his
time for several years past has been
given to Sunday school work, and in
this he took great delight. Through
his untiring efforts and assistance
many Sunday schools have been es-
tablished in the remote districts of
East Tennessee. He was an active
member of the Asbury Memorial
church Of this city and for many
years has been one of the main stays
Of this local church. In public mat
tiers he always manifested deep in
terest and could always be depended
upon to contribute literally of both
his time and means to any public en-
terprise. AS a member Of the well
known Lannon's Wagon Co., his con-
nection with the company took him
into several other different states,
thrreby by extending his acquaint
ance and popularity. He was a
member Of several secret organiza-
tions. His life was gentle, but like
the still waters, it was deep. In his
heart he carried those he loved and
his hand was never weary; his step
never wavered in ministering unto
caring for those dependent upon
him. At all times, under all circum-
stances, he walked in the we'll beaten
path of righteousness, and when full
~ conscious that he was nearing the
last Of earth, he appeared to be fully
impressed with the idea that at the
end Of time eternity began, and
that the bright faith that sustained
him during those trying hours Of
suffering would only grow brighter
as he journeyed toward the infinite
and the final gloom Of death be dis
PEELED by the radiance Of Gods love
Could all live the just and upright
life Mr.. Lannon's lived, and die in his
trusting faith, death could no longer
be called "The King of Terrors," for
he inspired no terror there.
Mr.. Lannon's is survived by his wife
and three children. His brother,
Mr.. Henry Lannon's, also resides in
Greeneville. Funeral services will
eb conducted from the home We'd
nesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In
torment will take place in Oak Grove
cemetery. sv
