CLOCKS TO MOVE
to Change Time and Eve
erybody 10 Work Earlier

Clocks viii be moved up Sunday
morning one hour to conform to the
new law recently enacted by Con-
gress.
Railroad officials viii move their
clocks up and changes in schedules
will cause all trains to operate an
hour earlier than at present. Travel
ers are warned to watch sharply or
they may miss connection.
Our people will get their first real
taste of daylight saving when they
start to work Monday morning
Alarm clocks viii explode shortly
after the crack of dawn, and it prob
ably will require vast amount of
will power to roll out of bed an hour
earlier than usual. But what a grand
and glorious feeling it will be to leave
the old store or Office an hour earlier
in the evening.
The following appeared Wednes-
day as special from Washington:
Most night trains technically will
be one hour late next Sunday morn
ing as a result of the changing of the
time under the new daylight savings
bill. Director General McAdoo today
ordered railroads to move their
clocks ahead one hour at O'clock
Sunday morning in conformity with
the law. Trains will leave destina-
ton Saturday night at the old time

of the Irrelevant section this season.
Truckers will grow from one-half to

the tomato crop to be a good payer

arc becoming alive to their interests,
especially as this county is adapted

CALLED TO PRAYER
Gov. Rye Issues Proclamation TO
the People

Gov. Rye Tuesday issued the fol-
lowing proclamation calling upon the
people of Tennessee to observe Good
Friday as a day Of prayer.
AS we APPROACH the closing days
Of this Lenten season / would invite
the people Of Tennessee to a day Of
serious reflection and special prayer.
No days of any passion week since
the sacrifcial sufferings of the Savior
of mankind have been crowded with
more tragic interest to humanity or
been fraught with profounder con-
Germ to the people of the earth than
at present.
SIN view of the travail of the peo-
pies of all nations at this hour and
while the seige guns of war are
voraciously devouring the flower of
Christian citizenship it is meet and
proper to revive the general obser-
vance which as a memorial custom
has in light measure been lost to
the popular mind.
"The frightful carnage of the last
few days and the fortitude of those
who have fallen suggests to me the
greater sacrifice or rather the great
est sacrifice ever made to commemo-
rate which Good Friday was institut-
ed. Remembering as we do those of
our sons who have gone forth to pay
the supreme sacrifice if necessary for
humanity, as we'll as the boys who
have already gone over the top, not
into No Mans Land, but over the
top into the land Of every man who
honors God and obeys the call Of
duty as they have done for liberty
and mankind.
81 respectfully suggest that all the
people of Tennessee observe Good
Friday, March 30, as day of prayer
to God for His richest blessings upon
all who are contributing to the sacred
cause so near and dear to the hearts
of us all,
"Inasmuch as Good Friday was
to commemorate the death
and suffering of our Lord, and has
been recognized by the statutes Of
Tennessee as of such Importance as
to be made a legal holiday,
"Now, therefore, /, Tom G. Rye,
governor, do proclaim this special
day of prayer and suggest that all
the people of every community re-
pair to Their respective places of
for the proper observance of
the day that commentaries the cru
cited or the Savior of the world, and
that all business pursuits be suspend
ed for this purpose.
''In testimony whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed at
the capitol in Nashville, this 18th
day of March, 1918, A. D., in the
one hundred and forty-second year
If American independence.

SECURE WOOD

This is fighting timel
It takes lighting to win the war;
Railroads and munition plants
must have enough coal to keep
everything moving at top speed,
il we fight right.
Our allies must have enormous
amo nts of coal, if we fight right.
There must be twenty thousand
100000 miners taken out of our
coal mines and drafted into our
army, if we fight right.

Are you YELLOW or are you

Are you a real man, or are you

Do you think you are foolng

You do9
Well. you had better take ar
other and better think, and if you
still think you do''-hurry up the
call for the foolish wagon, for you
need it and need it badl
Do you think you are going to
let the other fellow risk his life
for you and you stay at home
Sinking behind some woman's pet
ticoats, or perjuring yourself to
pile up more dollars9
Let me say. you are wrong, and
very wrong again.
If you hide behind some wo-
mans petticoats, the other woman
who gives her man will make this
country so hot for you that life
even to yellow slacker-will be
unbearabie.
Our women did it in 1861, and
their daughters will do it in 1918
DO you know we are in LIFE
and DEATH struggled
Those who risk their lives are
going to see to it that YOU get
into the FIGHT too. They are
not going to fight the kaiser and
carry yellow parasitic Stacker on
their backs.
Now that you understand your
self
Let's talk about next winters

1t is the opinion Of the best
posted men, that there will not be
enough coal to fight with and keep
all of our necessary industries
running and keep all of our homes
warm next winter.
NOW AM GOING TOFIGHT!

FIGHT IF YOU STAY IN TEN

If it comes to the point, that
either our allies and our boys

That's what everybody said this
winter, but when they found they

animal circus offers one of the best
opportunities for the study OF nat
ural history obtainable. A year 5

be entertained. but you will have
the chance to witness a spectacle

the feeding of hundreds of ferocious
wild animals. 1t is sight you will
not forget. After each afternoon S
performance the intoxicating ami
mails are given their daily rations.
During this period one can see the
lions, tigers, leopards, pumas, jag
uars, and other members of the
giant cat tribe in uproarous activ-
ity. Their ferocity and great
strength is openly shown. To wit
ness their feeding gives one bet
ter idea of what it means to be a
trainer of jungle-bred beasts.
The 1900 animals with the show
are all actors. Every one of them
has a stunt to do-they earn their
keep. The shows program is al
most entirely given by them. Sixty
