The big drive On war savings
and thrift stamps viii command
the attention of patriotic citizens
Of Carroll county today. The war
time spirit Of true-blue Americans
will manifest itself By every man,
woman and child. that can pos
sibly do SO, enlisting in the army
that stays at home" and signing
the pledge to invest in definite
amount in war savings stamps dur
ing the remaining months of 1918.
This is a demand the govern
ment makes upon us to help fl
nance the war. It is a good prop
osition financially and at the same
time we are doing a patriotic duty.
It is easy TO talk patriottiissaEs, b bat
that time has passed and we must
now practice patriotism.
The real value of this compaign,
to say nothing Of the duty it IN
wolves, will be inestimable to the
country during and after the war.
1t will teach the habit Of saving
and investing, a habit the value Of
which most of US have failed to
learn and appreciate.

SIGNS OF DIsINTEGRATION


There is no doubt but that there
are signs of the inevitable disinte-
grafton of the armies of the CEN
trail powers. They may be able to
overcome these conditions and get
their forces back in first class
shape again, but there is talk now
of internal disturbances that can
not fail to hurt the army.
Even Germany, war weary and
ill fed, is in a state of unrest so
acute that talk of revolt against
the imperial government is com
mon among the military and civil
population. The checking of the
great armies operating against
France and Italy, after the boast
ing of the German leaders and
four years Of hard lighting, can
not fail to have its discouraging
effect.
Austria is all torn to pieces in
ternally. and the serious injury
done its army by Italian victories
will add to the fury Of the people
who see no relief from their hun
ger under the present conditions.
These signs look good to US and
we expect to see more signs Of dis
Indignation as the war continues.

Worms are destroying a very
large per cent of the tomato crop in
the Irrelevant community. There
was a very promising prospect for
a bountifnl yield, but the worms
are doing much harm to the crop
and the farmers Will be heavy
losers, One grower stated that
there appeared to he worms in
most all his tomatoes. When the
worm. which enters from the out
side, begins 10 work, the tomato
is worthless.

HELPING OVERSEAS

If we save and thereby better
our financial condition and at the
same time help our government
win the war are we deserving Of
ereditq The editor Of the Duluth
Herald thinks not. In 8 recent
editorial he wrote:
When Uncle Sam asks US to
save to help win the war he asks
US to do ourselves a great favor;
and vet, simply because the need
is great and the appeal urgent,
and because the nation pleads with
us to do this simple thing, we are
prone to look upon it as great
favor to the country, and to stick
feathers in our hats and 60 strut
ting around because we granted it.
It's patriotic, all right. 1t helps
the country-not only now, but
later; not only for the war, hut
for the trial of national fiber that
comes after the war-but it helps
us even more.
And it is so easy, so much more
helpful to ourselves than to the
country, 50 small a thing to be
compared with what our boys in
arms are doing that it really is a
joke to pin roses on ourselves for
doing it.
I'VE ought to do it. We must
do it. But instead Of expecting
Uncle Sam to decorate US for her.
oism we ought to get on our knees
and thank him for the opportunity
Of getting little sound sense
pounded into us at last. And that
goes as to the average individual,
and as to the nation and people as
a whole

DISAGREEABLE CONDITION

DISAGREEABLE CONDITION
It is very disagreeable when one
finishes reading the list of casual
ties and finds some relative or
friend who has laid his life upon
the altar of his country, or is SER
iously wounded, and then turn to
another page of the same paper
and find names of individuals who
are robbing the government or
pro6teering out of our war condi-
tions. To take advantage of the
by profiteering is a
grade of thieving reprehensible in
the extreme. A Stacker IS high
toned gentleman 10 comparison.
A man who will graft rather
than help under these conditions,
is a mighty poor citizen, and should
be shown up to bis neighbors and
made do his part. Everyone should
help.

MRS. n. Y. Omltn, q most eX-
cellent christian lady, died sudden
" at her home in Irrelevant.
Sister Ellie Walker Smith was
born April %, 1865, died June 81.
1918, aged 50 years, month and
80 days. She was married to H.
g. Smith November 8, 1881. To
this union was born one daughter,
Maxcie Smith Heron. The SON
in-law, John H. Heron, is
now seeing service under the Stars
and Stripes in France. Sister
Smith protested faith in Christ at
the age of nine years and united
with the G. P. church of which
she lived consecrated member
until her death. She leaves a hus-
band and daughter, six brothers
and one sister of the immediate
family to mourn her going. name
", Monroe, Bud, Jack, Ferd,
Bunk and Leonard Walker and
Mrs. Beulah Ellington.
She suffered an attack of heart
trouble about o'clock Friday af-
ternoon and died in a very short
time. Before anything could be
done for her, life was extinct. She
was one Of those strong christian
characters, always leader in the
the church, and many times at
church, and also at home, she
would shout the praises Of her
Master, always expressing a will
ingness TO 90 and live with Jesus.
No act of kindness escaped her no.
tice and appreciation and her hands
continued to labor for those she
loved, and her many deeds Of
kindness have been rewarded by a
crown with many stars.
The writer knows no words that
can console the husband and daugh-
ter except to say that they can rest
assured Of the fact that she is safe
in the great beyond, as all who
knew her will testify, and all her
neighbors who knew her so we'll
can testify that she is at rest.
Funeral services were conducted
at the G. P. church by her pastor,
r. H. jackson, assisted by Rev.
Burroughs of Milan. The service
was very solemn and impressive
one. Five brothers and one neph-
ew were active pall-bearers. The
immense crowd in attendance evil
denced her popularity and the es-
TEEN in which she was held by the
town and community.
Many beautiful floral tributes
tokens Of love and esteem) were
laid upon her casket. Burial fol-
lowed at Irrelevant cemetery.
Sister Smith was a member of
the w. 9. I. o., secretary of the
Ladies Missionary Society, she was
a member also of the Woodmen
Circle and was their chaplain. The

Her death was a sad shock to all
who knew her.

FARM N0TES
Items Of Interest From County
DsmonstratOr Moody

Most farmers finished saving
clover hay last week, a large acre.
age Of peas have been sown, early
corn is laid by cotton is form
ing squares and crop conditions
generally over the county look
good.
There is a tendancy on the part
of a number Of farmers to lay
BY" corn entirely too early and u.s.
ually with too much ridge. Ac-
cording TO County Agent c. H.
Moody, there is no ceremony in
laying by corn as there is to a
wedding or funeral; but the crop
should be worked until it needs no
further working and then just quit.
On the demonstration plots over
the county corn is being worked
with scratchers, a Gee Whiz cult
vator or l4tooth harrow run
around the rows near the corn and
working the surface of the entire
middle shallow, level and often.
In these plots there is no crust, no
ridge, no burrows and no clods.
This sharply contrasts with some
Of the aioining fields, which are
composed mostly of ridges and
burrows and clods and crust.
Hays Holland, of Mckenzie, is
trying to find time to put up his
new Indiana silo, which is 1928
feet. Six Of these silos near Nc
Kenzie mean more economical
feeding Of livestock next winter.
Carroll county needs more and bet
ter cattle and silos to feed them
from.
T. NJ. Miller, of the Hico CON-
munity, has saved six acres of fine
red clover on which 20 hogs had
pastured for some time. No diff
ference could be detected 10 the
amount and quality Of the clover,
but there was wonderful differ
ence in the hogs.
Roulhac Harris is cultivatiug
his entire crop as ii it were a dem
onstration plot. Ii it pays on a
small plot why won't it pay on the
whole farm9 1t does.
The Hico Community Club in
regular meeting Tuesday night
voted to hold a one-day commun-
ity fair this fall. 1t will be re-
membered that Hico won first prize
with a community exhibit at the
county fair last fall, so we are ex-
pecting something good this year.
H. w. Wood demonstrated the
possibility of making the old sweet
potato crop last until the new
cider crop comes in, when he fed
the county agent on old sweet POI
tatoes and new cider Tuesday OF
of last week.
Lee Mann's sons have been do
ing some nice work with young
corn BY removing the center tooth
from a Gee Whiz, hitching two
horses to it and running right on
top of the row. This left a mar
row hard strip in the drill, which
was then pulverized BY cross har-
rowing with section harrow.
The field meeting at Rice's store
Wednesday of last week was at
tended by Mr.. Moseley, a poultry
specialist from the division Of ex-
tension, Knoxville, who talked on
the care of poultry and eggs and
the construction of poultry houses.
He says the new ruling of the
food administration requiring all
eggs for market to be candled is
the best thing that ever happened
to the egg industry.
o. B. Rice, Of the Tenth dis
trict, has a corn demonstration,
which he is now just scratching
with his Gee Whiz. Just under
the level surface of dust there is
plenty of moisture. Corn on ad-
joining land is twisted for want Of
rain. while this demonstration
piece is green and growing.

The United States has large
stock of cotton. on hand at the
present time, and indications are
that, another large crop will be
raised this season. Unlessthis cot
ton can be exported the prices

who fear that there will bea short

trouble was real, but the allies are

You should be ashamed of
yourselves to take money from Uncle
Sam when his soldiers are fighting
for you in France" said Casimer
Gaeta, a Capitol Hill employe, to
nine Italians in the court of Alder
man Hilton, where last evening they
had been taken from Jail to answer
charges of defrauding the govern
ment. You should be doing all you
can to help the United States" said

try. Italians should be for the Stars
and Stripes. You should pay the
money back you took as railroad
fare. You should be ashamed of
yourselves to run away from work
ing for Uncle Sam. Shame, shame, 1"
he shouted accusingly.
The Italians were part of the II
workmen brought from Rochester,
n. Y, to labor for the ordnance de-
partment at Middletown. They had
been arrested yesterday for leaving
their work with United States funds,
and after a preliminary hearing had
been taken to Jail to await further
examination AS they stood about
in the alderman's court they looked
the picture of despair and jabbered
vollubly among themselves at being
hailed into court. William ]. Feath-
erstone, commissioner of the bureau
of fire and police at the ordnance
camp, was the prosecutor in the
case. 1t was made clear to the ac-
cused workme nthrough Gaeta, the
interpreter that unless they came
across" with the $202.05, paid by
the government for their carfare
they would be taken before United
States Commissioner Leroy J.
Wolf, who would hold them until a
Rochester man, who paid their fares
with Uncle Sans coin, could reach
Harrisburg to testify against them,
a matter of probably three weeks,
during which time they would be
compelled to remain in prison.

they complained through Gaeta.
After they had thus justified their
leaving camp and with loud protes-
ations that they meant no disloyalty
to the government, that their appe-
tites only controlled their actions, the
matter of raising the money to clear
themselves confronted them.
Major William B. Gray over the
telephone, told the alderman he did
not wish to be severe with the men,
