SEED FOR NEW CROPS.

Every individual who remains close
" at home and about his individual af-
fairs tends to become provincial and
unduly well satisfied with himself.
Americans often have been accused Of
being provincial. Perhaps there is
truth in it. In any case, the best cure
is travel. When the boys come back
from Europe they will bring with them
all manner of new and available ideas.
The boys will have entered the new
environment at the age when learning
is easy, and with their interests very
much alive. They will observe with
more sympathy and intelligence than
mere students or tourists.
Hundreds of thousands of American
boys will see intensive agriculture at
its best. They will observe old soils
producing wonderfully, and new crops
and new ways of working old crops
will be studied. Alley will see whole
systems of good roads and will lean,
to value roads at their real worth.
They will see old forests made young
again, and forestry will afterwards be
something specific and important and
practicable. Young men from a new
country will take note of the arts and
accomplishments of an old country.
They will balance advantages and dis
advantages, and bring home judg-
ments and understanding concerning
many matters.
To save democracy will be a very
great thing; to learn wherein the
forms and works Of democracy moy be
bettered will be nearly as great. Since
it has to be, what good fortune it is
to be in France.-Country Gentleman.

Our Circuit Court.
The Circuit Court for the January
term, 1918, will convene on the fourth
Monday Of this month, being the 18th
day Of January, 1918, when the grand
jury will be organized and the court
will then adjourn until the following
Monday, being the first Monday in

At this second meeting, on the first
Monday in February, the work of the
term will begin, and the same calen-
dar of business will be followed that
would have been used if there had been
no such continuance.
This change or continuance in the
time of holding the court is due to a
request of the legal advisory board of
the state in reference to the selective

ENCOURAGE BUSINESS.

ENCOURAGE BUSINESS.
France, hard pressed and sorely tried
by the war conditions, to an extent we
have no ways approached in America
has never ceased to give active atten-
ton to business. The Paris shops con-
tinue attractive and gay, and in the
big provincial towns all possible bust
ness activity is maintained. Even the
modistes of Paris still turn out new
designs in dress, and French millinery
continues to control TIE vogue.
There has been no effort in France
to suppress the non-essentials in bus
mess, as is sometimes proposed in
this country. 1t is argued there that
all of these things are necessary to
maintain prosperity, and business pros
perity makes for the general wealth
of the nation. They furnish employ
ment and make money, and that is all
conducive to the national welfare. The
prosperous citizen is more valuable
than one out of business.
Certainly, business should be kent
going in the United States. If we
should send an army of 100000 sol
diers abroad there would still be more
than 100000 people left in the coun-
try, more generally employed than
usual, and the army must be provided
with food, clothing and munitions. In
dustry must necessarily be made more
than normally active while the war
lasts and industry and trade are so
Glossy linked that the conditions of
one must find response in those of the
other.
Business as usual was maxim
much heard commercial circles
when the war began. Business should
be better while the war lasts, and for
some time after it ends, than it was
under normal peace conditions.
There is no reason for any sort of
pessimism in the business outlook in
America. The only thing that can
keep business from being stimulated
by war conditions is undue caution
born of groundless apprehension. If
the war continues or peace comes,
there will still be large demands for
the products Of American industry.
This country will still realize high pri-
ees for all that it has to sell, and the
exports will continue to be large.
1t is patriotic to stimulate business;
good business means prosperity; pros
perity means money, and to win the
war money is one of the country's
prime essentials. The profiteer, the
man who seeks to grow rich out of the
nations or the peoples necessities,
ought to be put down, but legitimate,
prosperous business serves both the
nation and the people, and it should be
every way encouraged and stimulated.
The French example in this respect is
a good one to foilow.-Nashville Ban
