THE DOG VERSUS THE SHEEP

1t is the general belief among
those who have right to know that
many thousands more sheep would be
raised by farmers if it were not for
the destruction of the industry by
dogs; not alone what are known as
sheep-killing dogs, but all sorts Of
dogs. Dogs delight to chase and be
among lambs, and even mature sheep.
The very serious shortage Of wool
which we are facing, as well as the
call for meat foods Of all kinds, COM
pels thinking folks to desire a law
for the wholesale slaughter Of dogs,
of all breeds, which are not confined
by their owners. The fact that dog
will consume as rnuch food as child,
and often more, adds to the popular
opinion along these lines. The pres
ent is no time for a patriot to keep
pack Of hounds, such as we met on
a lonely road in July-two men on
horses, followed by at least twenty
dogs, all out for a days sport. 1t
is held that besides being serious
drain upon country's resources
dogs are germ and parasite bearers,
and are producers of hydrophobia
among stock and cattle. Generally
they are unprositable luxuries. or dan
gerous nuisances, especially to the
sheep raisers-yes, and to chicken
raisers also.-Home and Farm.

me one american Idea

AS our boys in kin or friendship
go into this war by joining the ranks
of those who use guns as they fight,
we realize all the more that we, too,
must fight by producing more and
whether at home or not, is that Of
winning the war for democracy.
The producers have been doing
their share. They will continue to do
SO. And as they learn better what
to do they will be more successful in
their results.
The call of leaders as they look at
the worldwide situations is that
more foodstuffs can be produced and
that more be saved. This does not
mean that the organization Of the
farm is to be changed All realize
that this may be a war covering
many years. and if our agriculture
were to be disorgarized for this pres
ent year, the years that are to come
would be inadequately handled. We
must build our farms for permanent
usefulness.
And in this connection, it may be
for agriculture and all war work may
well be considered from a permanent
point of view. We shall need much
food whether the war lasts or not,
and certainly if the war lasts.

FROM JOHN WHITE

Mrs. Dora Byars has received the
letter from which we print excerpts
below, from her brother, John White,
who is with Recruit Co. 27, Detention
Camp, Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg,
Miss:
! have been over and got my shot
for typhoid, and won't have to do
anything this evening.
There were a few Of the boys who
fell out after they got their shot,
but it has not hurt me any yet, and
j don't think it will.
Yes, have good bedding and ev-
erything else that / need. Army life
/ is all right for those who like it, but
il don't like it and there are not many
boys here who do like it. But | am
going to do the best that | can, and
maybe ] will like it after while.
4 Speaking Of it being too hot to
pick cotton, if it is as hot up there
as it is here, | would say it is too
hot to pick cotton. 1t is too hot here
to do anything, although there are
some who work all the time. But
I'VE only have to drill six hours q
lday-four hours in the morning and
two in the evening--so it isn't 50 hard
after ALL The only trouble with me
Is that | don't get sleep enough, as
we have to get up in the morning
at 5 o'clock and don't go to bed until
10 or II at night. We have to go to
an entertainment every night, which
is not much entertainment to me;
but after we get out Of this camp
we won't have to go unless we want
to.
don't know so much about getting
furlough. / heard some saying that
there would be no chance to get a
furlough, but am going to try. If
can't it will be all right any way,
Just so / can hear from home and
know that they are getting along all
right
Be sure that | VIII take care Of

often as / can. am not worrying
about the homefolks, and | don't

Stomach Out OF

UE0eTf Try M
Nothing Better 20 Straighten You out
After Eating Too Hzueh. Tones
Liver, Regulates Bowels. Acts
Pleasantly. Guaranteed.

Many people eat too much every
day and most eat much too much
some days. That is why Americans
sufter more than any people in the
world from indigestion, biliousness
and constipation.
With little thoughtfulness and
care, however, q great amount of
TINS distress could be avoided and
you'll never realize how true this IS
until you become one Of the several
million people of this country who
keep a box of Natures Remedy (NR
Tablets) constantly on hand and use
II whenever Indigestion, biliousness or
constipation threatens.
Unlike laxative purges, cathartics,
such as Oil, calomel, ETC., which mere
iy force bowel action, Natures Remedy
exerts beneficial influence upon the
entire digestive and eliminatiVe sys-
tem--the stomach, liver, bowels and
even the kidneys, Its purpose is to
promote vigorous and harmonious ac-
ton OF all the organs that handle the
food and body waste.
That is why the results which fol-
low the use of Natures Remedy are
always a delightful surprise to those
who first try ii. The action while
prompt and thorough, is as mild and
gentle and pleasant as Nature her
self, and the thorough cleansing the
body receives brings a feeling OF
real relief and benefit such as no
laxative pill or cathartic ever pro-
duced for anyone.
Get a Csc box of Natures Remedy
l(NR Tablets and try 1t. There is no
risk in doing so, for it must give you
greater relief and benefit than any
liver or bowel medicine you ever used
or money back instantly It is sold,
and recommended by your
druggist.

SENATE ADOPTS COMPROMISE
AFTER DEBATE
Efforts to Materially Change Substi-

/ Washington. Aug. 30. = National
prohibition moved a considerable step
forward yesterday in congress. With
out a record vote being taken or re-
quested, the senate late yesterday
adopted the leaders compromise on
"bone-dry" prohibition, effective July
II, 1919, and continuing during the
war and until the American troops
are brought home and demobilized.
Adoption of the compromise legisla
ton came after spirited debate be-
tween champions and opponents Of
prohibition, but many marks of lack
Of interest, including vacant seats
both on the floor and in the galleries,
because the compromise was regard
ed as insuring approval by the SEN

Efforts to materially change the
Sheppard substitute were futile.
Efforts to advance and defer the effee-
tive date and to extend time for its
operation against beer and wine were
overwhelmingly defeated without rec
ord roll calls.
That there was any agreement /
among the leaders against having
record votes was denied by Senator
Sheppard and other advocates and
also opponents Of prohibition legis-
ation. The general understanding, it
was declared, extended only to sup
port of the compromise amendment

Keep Farm Records

No business can be run efficiently
without records. Records must be
kept if intelligent conclusions are to
be reached covering the profit made
or loss sustained. 1t will not do to
take the amount of money in bank
at the end Of the year and say II
have made SO much money this year"
Aside from the value Of records as
an aid to successful farming, they
are rendered imperative by the federal
income tax law now in operation. The
farmer is included in this law as is
every business man, and he must be
prepared with exact knowledge of his
affairs if he is to escape inequitable
taxation.

Good Livestock Pays

The crisis confronting owners of
! livestock is certain to create effici-
ency in our meat production. 1t will
not only force us to build more silos
and sow more winter pastures, but
it viii compel us to breed our cows
and our sows and our ewes to better
sires than we have been in the habit
of doing.
All of this will be caused by the
continued high cost of feedstuffs.
Scrub stock cannot be profitably fed
high-priced feed.
On the other hand however, Ten
nesseans are confronted with the fact
that meat and meat products are
bringing record prices on the markets,
which means that good livestock is
more profitable than ever before.
This is aptly put as follows "The
higher the price Of feed the more ex-
pensive it is to keep poor livestock.
The higher the price Of human food
the more profitable it is to Keep good
