"Your War and My War"

We think we are doing much. Let
Us read and compare what Canada
has done.
From the very day war was decIar
ed, Canada began to give. And there
has never been one moments cessa-
son in that giving. Of men she has
@iven, of happiness; Of courage; of
devotion and Of m money-whieh is the
Ittlest thing Of all to give but which
means so much after all.
War divides the loyal people of q
country into two classes: those thai
20 away to fight, and those that stay
behind to serve. And in Canada one
f21s thaG those at the front have
sorved magniicently; and those LEFT
20 do their work at home nave giver
zone the less splendidly; none less
kravely. After all, war is compris-
Cd in the word GIVING.
Some shall give their happiness
some shall give their fondest desires
.aeir dearest hopes; their hearts am
bitions Poets lay down their pens
to hold gun; musicians leave the
golden palaces of their souli for
me fields Of battle, nor turn whar
rafting chains raise the drawbridge
cehind them. But these are little
t1ings to give.
Canada has made up its mind to
Give its sons to service, and its
daughters to uffcring-to give itself
and ali its possessions to the enc
slat liberty and democracy shall not
vanish from the earth, Canada
lnows, as England and France know.
IS WE are beginning to know, that
there are things that are worse than
death. Life uron 2 Hunnish earth
Is OF these the first.
What Canada has faced we arc fac
jag. For it is Canada's war no long
er It is no longer England's war,
cr Frances, or Italy's. It has come
at last to be Americas war; your war
and my war, and the war of those
We love. And YOU and / and those
We love must Kill and be killed-must
fgat and bleed and suffer.
No enc knows what will come after
this war; what chaos; what disor-
Ganization: what revolutions; what
suffering. But one thing we can
know and that surely. That never
again will the old world be the calm
and gentle place that we knew and
dwelt on before Teuton barbarisn
with barred fangs leaped upon its
kindly throat.
We will lose our men in the battle.
That We cannot help. But meanwhile
we CAN help. We can give orr lives
when our lives are needed. We can
give Of our happiness. We can give
Of our comforts and luxuries. We
can give Of our love, devotion. We
can give Of cur service. And we can
give of our money.
Money is good only because there
stands behind it a nation great
enough, and honorable enough, and

Farmers should Plant Sweet Potatoes

John F. Mckay, farm market spe-
cialist for the A. G NJ. College, has
issued an appeal to the farmers of the
State to plant sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be planted as
late as August 5th in this section Of
the State, but the earlier they are
planted the more certain will be
the crop. It is said that the vines
are beCger than the sips tor late
planting, and there are few farms
In Jones county where an abundance
of vines cannot be secured from the
early paintings.
The soil should be well prepared IN
order to insure a fair yield Of sweet
potatoes. The potato requires a
loose soil, and they will not thrive
where the soil shallow and hard.
There is no doubt but that the
corn crop mas been materially curtali-
ed by the recent dry weather. As
sist IN preventing corn shortage,
as potatoes can not only be used 10
place of bread, but they are excell-
large crop of sweet potatoes will as
ent for fattening hogs.
Irish potatoes should also be plant
ed. 4 fall crop Of Irish potatoes
can be grown with little labor, and
they can be kept all winter, which is
an advantage that the spring crop
does not possess,--Laurel Ledader'

the people may not live In fear OF war
between capital and labor.
8. Endorsement of the Democrat
ic administration; (a) on the bank

war measures against Germany; (c)

Therefore, being a trained servant

made close study of the psychology
Of the mind, having been schooled in
the closest economy as teacher, hav-
ing a thorough college education, and
knowing from both theory and prac-
tice how to sympathize with his fell
low man, Mr.. Dawsey should receive
that recognition at the hands OF the
voters that merit alone deserves.
Also confident of the wisdom of DEM

principal of the Lamar County Agri-

Grafton as a candidate to succeed the
Mon. Pat Harrison in Congress.
Prof. Dawsey is fortunate IN going
before the people so well equipped
in education, character, and very
progressive platform. In him the
voters will find safe man.
Having been reared on the farm
and making his own way through col
lege by dint of close application, Mr..
Dawsey early learned how to sympa-
thized with the common people IN
their social, educational and financial
affairs. Consequently he has spent
twenty years Of his life as principal
and county superintendent Of schools,
building better schools, making a bet
ter people, and training the youth of
the land for more prosperous coun-
try.
With signal success as teacher
and principal, Mr.. Dawsey rose in his
profession year after year until he
was elected superintendent of educa-
ton of Harrison county. Twice was
he elected, with overwhelming ma
jority, and served that county (then
the largest in the State). with splen-
did ability and marked success.
AS is we'll known, Mr.. Dawsey was
pioneer IN the consolidated school
works in Mississippi, having built the
/ first consolidated school in the State.
Likewise he was the prime mover in
establishing the excellent Agricultu-
raj High School at Perkinston. More
than this, he districted organized
and built the splendid school system
for Harrison county. of which he is
justly proud.
For the past three years Mr.. Daw-

OF the best In the State. He has had
students from twelve counties and
three States here for the past year.

Washington, Feb. 1.-President VIII
son today tried direct action to whip
up congress on needed var legislation.
He summoned eleven democratic SEN
ators to the White House to urg !!
Tspeed up" tactics on the railroad cor.
troll bill. Threats of some senator to
| block the bill unless limited to
| strictly war time measure had reached
the president IS ears. A faction of the
| interstate commerce committee stands
unqualifiedly for such Limitation of the
control period.
The president acted in view of the
delay in measures he believes necessary
TO throw the balance against the kaiser
this year. He warned yesterday that
this is :he crucial period Of the war.
ThIsC who were called to the White
House we're Senators Martin, Thomas,
Owen, Gerry, Phelan, Shields, Under
wood, James, Jones of New Mexico;
King and Smith of South Carolina.
During a conference with eleven of
his party leaders, the president coun-
selled against further discussion of the
Chamberlain "war cabinetp and
munitions minister bills on the
floor. He continues strongly opposed
to them.
He declared the railroad control bill
must be speeded up in the face of the
critical conditions this year presents
in the war and strongly urged that
there be a minimum Of talk and a
maximum Of action.
The president, however, probably viii
be unable to stop the promised discus
sioA Of fhe Chamberlain measures.
Senators Wadsworth and Hitchcock al.
ready have served notice that they
win speak next Tuesday and Monday,
respectively, on the bills.
Congress has failed thus far to enact
