have grown powerful for a work
higher and nobler than peace,
prosperity and happiness at
home. We are not at war to
increase our own wealth and
happiness. We shall be poorer
in money, millions of dollars,
and the loss of priceless lives,
but we shall have given peace,
happiness and prosperity to the
whole world. Hence we shall
fight on until the last battle has
been fought, the last victory has
been won, then if spared to re-
turn to enjoy with you the fruits
of our common labor.
If it is ours to fall on the field
of honor, we shall enjoy them in
another life, for death is only a
portal to higher, more beauti-
ful and happier life, for those
who are worthy. Though we
may be deprived the pleasure of
reading on earth the accounts of
our deeds of honor, | believe we
shall some time read them in
eternity, for when the history of
our nation shall have been fin
iseed, and the recording angel
hands it to the omnipotent Judge.
it will be a divine poem, OF
which the history of each state
shall be a canto, and the biogra-
ply of each soldier and patriotic
citizen shall be a verse.
| wish all who read this may
write me a personal letter. We
get veay little mail.

We are just getting through
the 4th Liberty Loan Drive. Our
quota (Collingsworth County,

the drive was on last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, on which
days the vast crowds of people
met in the courthouse lawn,
where patriotic speeches were
made by able men, interspersed
with the finest music by a String
ed Band Of Haiiwaian people.
There was also present two SOL
dier boys, who had been on the
front ''over there" One of
them had been gassed and the
other one had one foot shot off.
They were travelling over the
country in the interest of the
Liberty Loan. They said the
Americans were sure doing their
part in sending those Huns
where they deserved to go, and
that they were net going to stop
till they got to Berlin. Said they
would return Oct. %, to Join
their comrades over there, and
were anxious to be with them.

Dear Sister:
1t is with the greatest of pleas
ure that | write you, as it has
been quite a while since you have
heard from me | am getting
fine and enjoying myself.
OF course you would like to
hear the news, but don't think
that because we are near France
that we get more news than you
do at home. What news we get
of the war is from the newspap-
ers, and that is not much. You
get the news in the States as
quick as do here.
England is a nice country.
Everything is green here now,
which makes the country look
good to us. The roads most ever
where are piked, and it is easy
to go any where you to want to
90. The roads are easy made,
there being from ten to twelve
inches of soil and under that
there is hard chalk rock, which
make the finest of roads. 1t has
rained most ever day since |
have been over here. which is
the worst fault | find with this
country.
Most of the Jackson county
boys are still with the company.
Whitaker was taken with the
mumps and is now in the hospit-
al. Hugh Berry is still with the
company. The boys from home
you would not probably know.
We don't have things quite so
nice. mere as we did in the States,
as this is only a rest camp. We
are living in tents, and don't
have any cots or springs to sleep
on. 1t is not so bad as it sounds,
as | am getting use to army life,
and it is proving good for us.
1t is nothing to see seven OF
eighat airoplanes flying. over this
camp any time during the day,
and they are getting to be very

while and enjoy some of the good

HOME CARD CONSERVATION WEEK.

The week beginning Monday
December 2 has been selected as
the date for the new home card
conservation week. On the Sun
day before the beginning of the
campaign a message from the
Food Administration directing
attention to the New Home Card
will be presented in all the
churches of the state.
During the previous week the
Food Administration will utilize
the splendid four minute organi-
zation of the state in preparing.
the people for conservation week.
1t is expected that by the dates
named the epidemic of infunza
will be over and public meetings
will again be permissible.
Recent military developments
in Europe should not in any way
dampen the ardor of the people
for food conservation, it was
stated at the Federal Food Ad-
ministration at Nashville, for
the reason that the redemption
of territory in France and Bel
gium that has been for the past
four years under the heel of the
oppressor will add to the burden
placed upon the people of this
country. These people must be
fed and the supplies necessary
can come only from the United
States. AS the victorious cam
paign of the allied armies con-
tinues more and more people
must be sustained so that it is
more than ever important that
every conservation regulation of
the Food Administration should
be religiously observed.
Even sdould there be a cessa-
ton of war there would be no
lessening of the efforts of the
Food Administration for thous-
aIds of people. not now within
the reach of the allies, in coun-
tries like Serbia, Runabia and
Aasenia and Bohemia and Po-
land who are starving, would
have to be supplied with food.
These supplies must come large
ly from America.
The actual rehabilitation of
parts of the allied armies would
not change the situation for
new crops cannot be sown and
had harvested and prepared for
food under a year. The Food
Administration is going to direct
all of its energies during conser-
walton week to bringing to the
attention of the people these
plain facts so that there may be
no letting down in the conserva-
tion campaign.

Jackson County Boy Enjoys Bathing With
Rockies in Gulf Of Mexico.

On last Sunday our commander
selected a swimming party from
the tenth company. | happened
to be one of the lucky number.
We assembled at 1:30 o'clock in
front of the receiving ship, form
ed in double file and marched
out on the pier where the boats
were.
The pier is about fifteen feet
above the water, so the boats
had to be lowered by the means
of cables fastened in pulleys.
Some of the boys went down in
the baot, while the others lower
ed it. Those that were left on
the pier to lower the boat had to
slide down ropes after the boat
had been lowered.
All in the boat, about thirty in
number, two men to each oar,
we began trying to row. Be-
lieve me it was some awkward
bunch of Rockies" trying TO
row a boat. Occasionally we
would get our oars tangled, splash
the water with great force, but
slow progress. We finally sue
ceeded in rowing about one half
mile from the shore. The water
was shallow, being not more
than i've feet deep, but the
waves were very furious, espec-
tally to a boy from the interior,
that had never been aboard a
sailing vessel.
We at once began to jump over
board and play III the waves as
they would roll up sevaral feet
sometimes covering our heads
completely. This was great
sport but all of a sudden we were
startled by great porpoises that
would come to the surface and
then submerge beneath the
waves again. These porpoises as
you may already know are the
scavengers of the seas.
We also saw a great number
of jelly fish which was some
thing new to a Jackson county
boy.
After our swim was over we
returned ashore, came by the
canteen had some pop, candy,
and ETC., and then back in
D-camp where we are at present
on the account of Flu.
If this doesn't reach the waste
basket | will write more in the
future.
would be glad to hear from
any of my Jackson county friends
as it is impossible for me to
write to all.

DEMOCRATS WARNED TO
GET OUT FULL PARTY
Vote NOV. Is.

Democratic National Committee
shows the National Organization
is deeply interest in the election
of all Democrat nominees.
October 2S, 1918.
Hon. Hill McAllister,
Maxwell House,
Nashville, Tenn.
My dear Sir:
This national Democratic or
ganization feels a keen interest
in the success of the Democratic
candidates for Senator and Con-
gressmen in your State. The
national administration in this
period of suprume crisis occas-
ioned by the war is naturally
very desirous of seeing its real
friends selected to fill the impor-
tant positions mentioned. Dur
ing former wars each national
administration in charge of the
affairs of the government has
felt constrained to urge the elec-
tion of those OF it's political faith
to these positions. | know Of no
reason why there should be a de-
parture from this wise policy at
this time, especially since it is
generally conceded that the
present administration has con-
Quoted the affairs of every de-
partment bureau, the division of
the government on the wisest
and soundest policies. This is,
Furthermore, no time for divided
councils, or for a disturbance of
that unity which is so essential
to the continued successful pro-
secution of the war.
Senator John K. Shields, your
nominee for United States Sena-
tor, has rendered constant and
valued support to the national
administration. His wise coun-
sci and his splendid ability have
been at the service of the gov
ernment at every stake, and the
National Committee and the ma
tional administration, who are in
an attitude to recognize and APP
preciate its value most fully, are
exceedingly desirous that Sena-
tor Shields may be reelected by
both a safe and maximum major
ity.
desire also to say that the
Tennessee delegation of the.
House of Representatives have on
all occasions given their valued
and able cooperation to the ad-
ministration and to the govern
ment in connection with all i'm
portant phases of the govern
ment's war and domestic activi-
les. | trust, therefore, that
the. each may receive the most
favor..ole consideration of the
voters in their respective dis
tricts.
Judge A. H. Roberts, your
nominee for Governor, has a
splendid reputation for ability,
loyalty, and patriotism. May |
therefore express the further
hope that every attention be CIV
eu to the success of his candida
CIV, in order that his election may
be made doubly sure.
1t is not at all improbable that
partisan Republicans will make
a widely-concerted, but quiet,
effort during the last two weeks
of the campaign, to get out the
fullest vote possible May |
therefore caution and urge our
local Democratic leaders, officials
and workers likewise to use
dvery effort to get out our vote,
as the only safe caurse to pursue.
The Democratic National Com
mittee is at your service and at
the service of these candidates
in every legitimate and feasible
way. | shall thank you to keep
me advised of the progress Of

JACKSON COUNTY BOYS
WITH THE C0L0RS''

We have travelled over roads,
the best in the world, and a.
mong mountains as beautiful and
inspiring, as our own majestic
Rockies.
We have roamed over pastures
las green and beautiful as the
bluegrass regions Of old Ken
lucky.
We have admired herds of
cattle as fat and thrifty, as
those which Craze on the green
pastures of Middle Tennessee.
We have associated with peo-
Pile as kind and hospitable as the
people of our own dear south
land.
We have hiked, travelled by
rail and in trucks.
think they have gotten us
mixed up with the cavalry. not
only because they shipped us
from port in cattle cars, but they
have given US barns to live in.
There are from ten to twenty in
one billet, as they call them. we
call them stables. Our bed mates
are rats, and in adjoining rooms
are horses, cattle and hogs, that
quarrel all night. But we do not
mind this, for we are expecting
these conditions to soon be sup
planted by conditions more ex-
citing.
We are glad to be here and to
follow the American Eagle, that
wonderful bird, which John saw
on the Isle of Patmos, and our
forefathers prophetically chose
as the sacred emblem of our nat
ional existence. For young as
we were the nation longed to
forever live in the greatest and
highest way, and the idealization
of the early Americans now has
concrete form. The majestic
eagle which our forefathers so
greatly admired, has given way
to the great American battle
aeroplane, the master piece of
American inventive brains,
! This great bird in flying high
and far in these days, bringing
his men and power across the
Atlantic, to fight the eagles of
Austria and Germany.
How beautifully he represents
our country, the great mountains
where he lives and the plains
where he feeds.
Not only is he represented in
the great aeroplaine, but his
wings are our gaeat fleets, his
beak and talons are the guns,
the bayonets, the shapnels, and
the explosives. His heart is the
courage of i. the men, who are
fighting for the rights of other
men, and the future of the hum
an race.
You can see how well the
spirit of our country, when you
see the glorious accounts of our
fighting.
The Germans have fought
desperately, reckless of cost, for
they know what it is to have our
nation, with its hundred millions
of people and its fifty billions of
annual income. fighting on the
side of liberty and right.
| The German Emperor did not
fear until he saw our unlimited
supplies and innumerable army
pouring into this country to pro.
tect the intolerable rights of the
human race.
This same majestic bird, which
John saw and whose voice ht
heard, is today flying high above
the din of battle. crying with
, loud voice come and see." Tn,

on us. Liberty and Democrac.

QUOTA PREPARED
FOR EVERY STATE
Figures for Vermont Placed at 321 and

and Measuring Tests First Step
Against Preventable Deaths.

! WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-To every
state i'll the union was assigned YES
terday q definite quota of lives to be
saved in Children Year, which will
| be started by the children s bureau of
| the department of labor on April 6,
the first anniversary of America s en-
| try into the war.
In seeking to prevent at fewest 100,-
| 600 of the annual total of 300.O 900 pre-
ventable deaths Of children under )
years, the children s bureau. with the
assistance of the 5000 local committees
of the woman s committee of the coun-
ell of national defense, will carry the
campaign into every community to
urge conservation of life here as a pa
triotic duty in view of the unavoidable
wastage Of men abroad incident to war.
A national weighing and measuring
test will be undertaken first as o sort
OF - stock taking to afford basis for
computing results at the end of the
year.
Saving Of infant lives will be only
one part of the bureau extensive
program for the year Plans are being
made also to protect 10000, 600 chill
dren under Is years old against anv
attempt to relax safeguards of child
life. The United States is expected
to profit by the experience of other
warning countries, where the impor-
tance of maintaining child labor re-
strlctions and school standards is being
recognized as never before.
Assignment of definite quotas to each
state emphasized the bureaus an
nouncement that each community must
bear its full share of responsibility in
making the campaign as success
In the first analysis every commu-
nifty must save its own babies if thew
are to be saved at all. - Miss Julia La
throp, chief of the bureau, said ''For
some OF tlr1r>stTetes possibly vcrv high
mark III the campaign has been set. but
that was unavoidable with the data at
hand. The apportionments were made
on the basis Of population, rather than
on the infant mortality rate, because
statistics for the latter are not sui
ticiently complete. Thus, states with
atelv greater task than states where in
FAINT deaths are more numerous.
- do not believe any objection will
be encountered, however. for from all
indications each state will be eager to
SurPass the goal assigned it. The re

promote the health and welfare of chill
dren are to be more vigorous than ever
