A LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS
AND AN APPEAL.

There are a good many soldiers who
have not the comfortable clothes that
they shuld have during the extremely
cold weather and if there is anyone
who would like to donate anything to-
ward furnishing garments for these
boys the donations will be received
at the Coppedge Drug Store or by
Mrs. Mann Wills.
The following letter was received
by a lady in Nashville and explains
the situation at Camp Sewer where a
number Of our boys are stationed:
Il want to congratulate you on the
success of the convention. The wo-
men of America are not lacking in
patriotism and / will tell you tht it
makes us fellows at camp feel that we
are not alone in the fight.
"The work you are doing has meant
a great deal to the soldiers at Camp
Sewer. Your form of organization is
to be commended, for it certainly helps
when a fellow sees what women of his
home county are doing for him. 1t
seems like sort of individual interest
they are taking in you.

All local merchants are standing
squarely behind Commissioner Garfield
in his fuel administration conserva-
tion orders and telegram has been
sent him to that effect. There is no
disposition to ask for any sort of modi-
fcation. Even the grocery men who
were granted permission under the or
der to remain open half the day Mon
days, have signed an agreement to
keep their houses closed the entire
day.
There is disposition here to look
upon this matter in philosophical way
Mr.. Garfield, understanding conditions,
with all necessary information at hand
is thought to know just what is neces-
sary to remove the fuel famine in the
quickest way possible, and our mer-
chants are doing the sensible thing by
backing him up to a man.
The fuel shortage is being felt here
as is the case throughout the country.
With the warmer weather and con-
certed action on the part of all in con-
serving all fuel possible, it is thought,
the action taken will son bring matters
to their normal condition. All together
and united support to ou govern
ment is the sentiment of this commun-
ity.

]. R. Payne, food administrator for
West Tennessee, has sounded the
doom of profteering and warned retail
ers Of foodstuffs that they will be
summarily dealt with unless they obey
the law in every respect.
DR.. H. A. Morgan has just returned
from Washington, where he, as food
administrator for all Of Tennessee was
in conference with Food Administra-
tor Hoover and other high national
food executives. He was in Memphis
Thursday for the purpose of outlining
the aims and purposes of the food ad-
ministration.
The Tennessee food administration
after more than a month Of efforts by
organizers, has virtually been complet-
ed. In a few counties the administra-
tors have not yet qualified, but the or
gantzation is in working order in
about three fourths of the counties.
These administrators will give their
energies toward aiding the govern
ment's program of food conservation.
j. W. Byrn has been named admins
traitor for Haywood county and will be
on the JOB from this time forward.
His selection is a good one as he is
well qualified in every respect for the
work.
1t is understood thatmaximum prices
will be set for all essential foods, and
one of the chief duties of county ad
ministrators will be to see to it that the
law fixing these prices is strictly con-
formed to.

ltcally The Austrian daleaa es, the
foreign minister addad, playe3 10 very
active role in the negotiations, merely
asserting to every German proposal.
A long statement dealing with the
Brest-Litoysk negotiations issued thru
the bolsheviki telegraph agency at
Petrograd emphasizes the absolute
German refusal to give any sort of
guaraneee of the evacuation Of occu-
pied territories.
"In such circumstances, says the
statement, the words self-determ-
nation sound like mockery of principles
amp the peoples concerned"
The statement then asks what OBJ
iect the Austro- o-uerman imperlalists
had on December rs in recognizing the
principles of a democratic peace and
answers:
"The same object as was followed
by Wilson, Lloyd-George and other
imperialists in exhibiting their demo-
cratic program and throwing humani-
ty under tie complete control of cap
ital" After wordy speculation as to
what prompted the Germans to take
the course they took in the negotiations
the statement continues: "The revolu-
ton cannot live in an atmosphere of
deceit an falsehood. The revolution
may not az a given moment be in
position 10 repudiate theannexationists
but it will never humiliate itself to call
black white and won't cover up the
brutal annexatonist pretensions with
the fig lea; Of democracy.
"The signiticances of the Brest-Lit-
ovsk pourparlers as they stripped
from German inperiaists its false coats
temporarily borrowed from the demo-
cratic wardrobe and exposed the cruel
reality of ennexationism of owners and
capitalists. There is nothing more to
be demanded from the pourparlers. !"
