have asked them to undertake.
No one is asked to do the impos-
sible, but everyone is asked to
increase acreage, and to increase
acre yields wherever possible.
Farmers are signing pledge
sheets which list the crops on
which they expect to increase.
Food and feed crops are the ones
wanted. When a farmer signs,
he gets a red, white, and blue
honor card to place in a conspi-
cuous position. This honor card
stimulates him to do the things
he has promised to do and show
his neighbors that he is with our
Government in the winning of
| the war.
No patriot will pass by this OPP
Iportunity for war service.

HAVE YOU TESTED.

Farmers of Jackson County
The question is still before you.
Have you tested your seed corn?
1t is necessary this year, for the
winter has been severe and much
of the seed corn is bad frozen
germs are common.
No one can tell whether seed
corn is bad or not by looking at
it. Don't fool yourself, You
can't do it. You may be able to
tell somo bad kernels. Tut you
will miss more than you find,
Test the seed corn. Don't
plant it until you know that it
will grow. Ask your county
agent for directions. if you do
not have them. 1t will pay you
to know what you are planting.
The farmer who plants bad corn
this year is unpatriotic, and as
we'll a very bad business man.

The WARS SUPREME LESSON: NO MAN
LIVETH TO HIMSELF.

The great war in which We are
engaged is shed ling new light on
nearly every problem the world
has known. There is hardly a
question which men discussed
before 1914 from a dog tax to
questions of personal morals
which has not been newly illum.
mated by the terrible struggle.
The fundamental change is an
awakening to the fact that no
man liveth to himself; that every
man is responsible to his fellows
for the use he makes of his tai
ents, his physical strength, his
wealth.
We realize now as never be-
fore that every man who has
weakened his body by disease or
dissipation has weakened Ameri-
ca and has thereby weakened all
the rest of us.
We realize now as never be-
fore that every man who has
wasted material things, who has
made himself poor by extraya-
gance or carelessness has at the
same time made the Nation poor
er-has weakened America and
so has weakened all the rest of
us.
We realize now as never before
that every man who has failed
to contribute to the general
wealth and welfare, whether be.
cause of idleness and shiftless-
ness, or ignorance, illiteracy, and
lack of training he, too, has
made America poorer, weaker,
less powerful, than she would
have if he had played a strong
mans part; and we are all poor
.er because of his idleness, shift
lessness and lack of skill and
knowledge.
That is the new lesson that
the war is teaching us. 1t is
teaching us that human brother
hood is not a mere philanthropic
or benevolent attraction but
about the most fundamental of
all material facts.

PRODUCE.

Every man, woman and child
in Jackson County should seek to
be a producer. When you have
decided to be one, take these
things in mind for accomplish
ment.
Produce food and feed crops
this year for home consumption
and for sale. The war asks this
of the farms of Tennessee.
Produce in the garden plenty
of the staple, non-perishable
crops for home use and for mar
ket. The war asks particularly
that you grow enough to feed
your family.
Produce of the perishables only
enough to feed your family, but
do that. The war demands that
you do not ask transportation to
carry perishables to market when
cars may be needed for other
purposes.
Produce, but produce consist
entity.

We don't think any one would
object to the Mayor having the
vacant lots cleaned up on the
north side of the square. These
lots are loaded with old scrap iron
tin cans and what was once a
touring car. A stranger remark
ed the other dav, or rather pass
ed a compliment on the town by
saying that it reminded him of
a deserted village somewhere in
France after a fierce battle with
the Huns" We hope the pro-
per authority will see that all the
old garbage and junk piles are
hauled away at once. The town
would look more like a civilized
people lived in it. There seems
to be no effort at all on the part
of the officials to keep garbage
and rubbish off the streets and
vacant lots. The shape they are
in now is enough to cause a stran
ger to make remarks because
they can't help seeing the junk
piles before anything else. Old
scrapers that were left on these
lots after the road commission
ers quit work on the roads sever
al years ago, have been stored
away on these lots and left there
to rust and decay. They seem
to think they will have no furth-
er use for them and it looks as
though they will never be used
again.

From War Fronts Enthu-
SiaStiC Over Conditions

WASHINGTON. April 17.--Secretary

people for renewed support for the war,
The secretary expected to see President
Wilson sometime during the day to re-

The American soldier has made

day assured newspaper men who met
him at the war department The
French and British authorities are uni

durance and soldierly qualities Of our
men"
The big thing for America to do is
to support the war. support il financial

of America is in France. 1t is barred
and ready to strike. The rest of the
body is here in the United States and
IL must support the arm. This sup
port should include subscriptions to
Liberty Loans as well as moral sup
port of high confidence"
The condition Of American troops, the
secretary said. is excellent. They all
are well physically and well in every
other way" Their spirits are high. their
behavior admirable and their relations
with the French and British cordial
and sympathetic, he said.
"One rarely meets an American sol
der I'm France who does not smile and
wave his hat" Mr.. Baker said. The
only sad Americans there are those who
fear they NAV have TO come home before

Everyone Is Confident
The American. British, French and
Italian armies are f1lled with this ire

Everyone is quite confident of the

sentiment is one of inspired determine

so far as the work Of our forces is
concerned. il gives one the impression

Secretary Baker said he had been in

tent to which American newspapers
carry the war news. European papers,
he said, were UNNECESSARILY behind
those of this country in that respect.

situation had been aptly covered by

that alternate periods of cheerfulness
and anxiety must be endured for some

German prisoner of war in this coun-

today to be put TO work. Eight hun
dred and fifty were ordered to the task

the Tcutons taken by the Yankees re-
main in French prison camps.
Under the regula tons for the control
of prisoners of war, promulgated by
the secretary of war; the adjutant gen.
eraI of the army is given authority to
establish the rate of wages to be paid
for the labor of prisoners. 1t is ex-
pected that sum representing % or
so cents a day over and above the
maintenance of each prisoner will be
fixed Each mans earnings will be
placed to his credit at the camp ex-
change to be used in purchasing necessi-
ties not included in the equipment fur

i'm their possession.
The proposal that interned aliens, in
GLIDING crews of informed merchant
ships, also be put to work has been
taken under consideration. Under in
ternational law, they cannot be forced
to work except at such labor is is nee
essary to keep their place of internment
in sanitary condition. 1t is expected
that these prisoners will be given an
opportunity to volunteer for other work
at fair rate Of compensation
That some com plants of German
food and camp conditions have come
from American prisoners in Germany
became known today. Some of the
men reported that they did not have
enough blankets, while others said they
were given either poor quality food or
| little of it. International Law re-
quires a nation to feed it's prisoners as
it feeds it's own soldiers. This Ger
many is not doing, though the United
States is scrupulously observing that
regulation. Now America purposes
that the informed sailors and other pris-
oners already on hand and the U-5S
men coming here shall work for their
chow"
TO relieve American prisoners in Ger
many from poor or insufficient food, the
| United States government has estab-
lished the same system as the British
! feeding the prisoners herself. This is
| done through the American prisoners
! central committee at Berne, Swltzer'
| land This committee supplies food

| cans are detained are inspected regu-
larly by Spanish embassy agents who
! take up with Germany any complaints
that German food instead of the Amer1-
can supplies is given the men. Three
| ten-pound packages of food are sent
every two weeks and clothing is re-
plenished every six months Apparent
Iy the complaints of some prisoners have
resulted from German substitution oil
made in Germany products for the
American goods.
