Rumor and some newspaper
comment would have it that Sec
rotary Houston, of the U. S. De-
partment of agriculture, has made
the statment that twenty-five cents
would be a fair price for cotton.
There is absolutely no foundation
for this rumor. Secetary Houston
is making public statment of this
fact and wires Prof. G. A. Keffer,
director Of agricultural extension,
University of Tennessee, to make
known throughout Tennessee the
falsity of the comment.

IT TAKES MONEY

The big fourth liberty loan drive
has been launched. The amour.
of bonds to be sold is large, but
should not in the least stagger the
people Of this country
To lick the Kaiser is the bust
ness ofthis country and it is going
to take men and money to do it.
Our boys in France are there to
suffer and sacrifice and they are
doing everything that can be done
to make possible a victory that
means all this country desires. 1t
takes money as we'll as men to win.
We fellows at home, enjoying the
blessings of a free country, are ex-
pected to furnish the money. To
furnish the money we must buy
bonds.
The winning of the war is a big
business, but we are in co-partner-
ship with Uncle Sam, who is a
mighty strong partner. 1t fact, it
is a partnership business, and it
should be gratifying to US to know
that we are partners in the great
est undertaking this country has
eyer attempted to accomplish.
Like all things worth while, it
takes money to make it go success
fully. We are to finance the war,
and the best way to do it is to
bny bonds. 1t beats taxes, and if
we don't buy bonds we will have
to pay taxes.
Every man who can do so should
buy some bonds and thus help fur
nish the money that is going to
put the Huns out of business.
Each one must do his part.
