KEEP STOCK OFF RAILROAD.

Nashville, October 9, 1918.-The
state council of national defense has
undertaken a campaign for the reduc-
ton of the loss of livestock along the
right of way of the railroads in Ten
nessee. Figures compiled show that
last year on the railroads of ten south
ern states food animals to the value of
S2,500,000 were killed. This means
! Wtt truo e,,d q Isle ,ss;lsl-u. n-Ien-
nessee the losses have been proper
tionately large and the campaign in
augurated by the state council Of de-
Tense is launched on the theory that as
the people of Tennessee are anxious
to conform to the requests Of the gov
eminent agencies looking to conserva-
ton of food they will cooperate with
the council in this work. The reduc-
ton of these losses, even Is per cent,
would mean the saving of approx
mately 100000 in Tennessee alone.
/ But it isn't a question of dollars and
cents any longer for the railroads are
operated by the government and the
government pays the bills. 1t is a
question of saving of food for the
boys over there and it is not. rail-
road proposition.
The citizens of the stat are asked TO
back up this campaign and to urge up
on everyone who allows stock to run
at large the necessity of keeping such
animals off the railroads. Every COW
killed means that an average of 300
opunds of meat is destroyed to say
nothing of the leather and fats, while
ech hog means a loss of from $15 to
$25 worth of food.
Pledge cards will be sent to owners
Of stock with the request that they
sign them, agreeing to keep their stock
eff the railroad right of way during
the oiperd of the war. Similar cam
paigns are to be inaugurated in the
other Southern States.

Somewhere in France, Sept. s.

Dear Mother and folks at home.-i
Guess you have heard of my safe
arrival overseas. But know yiu will
be getting anxious to hear from me
before you get this letter, for it will
have been over month since | have
written to you, so l know you are
very anxious.
But you must bear in mind that it
will be impossible to hear from us as
often as you used to, "For Pm Long,
Long Way From Home"
Have been in France only a short
time. We were thirteen days crossing
the Atlantic, and believe me, it sure
was fine trip. But am sure some of
the boys will not agree with me, for
some of them. were sea sick near
" all the way across. There were on
ly a few that were ,nnt - L was
= So Sts-ftr soqr ueeK and watch the waves.
Tney would roll up like great noun
tains, and start off across the sea, one
behind the other as if they were hav-
ing race; but would not go far be-
fore they would meet still larger ones
going in an opposite direction, and
WREN meeting would roll up still high
er and burst, throwing it's sprays hun
dreds of feet high, making rainbow
colors. Sometimes great wave would
catch the great ship and toss it about
as if it were only a small tug. Some
{. the sailors said we had a very quiz
ct sea. Don't see how it could be
much rougher, If it had, guess some
Ct the boys would have died from sea-
sickness.
Most all of us strained our eyes
looking for submarine, but unexpect-
eddy failed to see one. But one day
when we were at mid-ocean, one of
the boys sighted what he thought to
be a U-boat, and of course we gave
the alarm. 1t sure was funny sight
20 see US brave" boys rushing to the
top deck, and am sure | was about
the first one to reach the top. Some
Ct the officers looked at the supposed
U-boat with their field glasses. They
soon found out that it was only white
cap, and believe me, | was one prouo
chap.
When we landed one of the boys that
had been sea-sick, asked if we had any
more water to cross, and when noti-
ned that we had to cross the English
Channel, wanted to know if there were
any danger of being sunk. He was
told that there was more danger than
ever. He hung his head down for
while, and then said: "Well, if | don't
get drowned or die from sea-sickness,
] will sure give some German hell"
And we all expect to do the same, as
cur comrades that have gone ahead
have done; although we expect to give
them the finishing touch. They are
being driven back every day and it is
mostly the Sammies that are doing it.
Well, guess had better quit writ
ing and go. to preaching. We have
preaching twice day on Sunday. Will
close hoping you are well.

Ten cities and counties of the eighth

making up the eighth district.
Contest No. l is open to all counties
IN each state that have raised their
quota in dollars. The county that af-
ter exceeding its quota rolls up the
largest over-subscription will have
the honor of naming one of the bat
tie tanks. To the county in each
state, after its money quota has been
subscribed, that has the largest per-
centage of subscribers according to
population, may have the honor of
naming one of the transport ships.
To the city in the district, with a
population TO $4,000 or over which has
raised its quota, if it has a fixed
amount, that makes the largest per-
centage above its quota, may name one
of the battle tanks. The city, under
the same conditions that has the larg-
est percentage of it's population as
bond purchasers, will have the honor
of naming one of the transport ships.
Contest No. 8 is open to all cities
having a population of 1900 and un-
der $4,000 that has raised its fixed
quota The city which has the largest
percentage of sales above its money
quota will be given the privilege of
naming one of the battle tanks, while
the city having the largest proportion
of subscribers according to its popula-
ton will have the privilege of naming
a transport ship.
The final contest is for cities be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 population, thar
exceed their fixed money quotas. The
largest percentage of sales above the
quota will give that city the privilege
of naming battle tank, while the
city with the largest number of sub
scribers, population considered, will
have the privilege of naming a trans
port ship.
Neither the ships nor the tanks may
be named after any individual, corpo-
ration or organization. No city or
county may be awarded two Of the
prizes.
Illustrated bulletins showing the pro
gress of the contest will be issued,
much after the plan followed in the
"0ver the Top"in the third Campaign.
The counties that are in the lead
will be praised, and those in the rear
will be roasted" but always the re-
marks should be received in the man
ner in which they are intended, as
mere pleasantries, and to stimulate
rivalry between cities and towns.
