ment this, even after signing
the pledge.
The baby" bonds the small
est ones--cost SALT during the
month of June. However, this
does not mean that if one signs
the pledge on June 28th that,
that will be the price for the
rest of the year for the baby
bonds increase one cent with
each month. In July, they will
cost $4 IS and in August, 4.19,
and so on, increasing one cent
until Decem Der 31st.
There must be 30 backsliders
in the War Savings campaign
says Washington. At the meet
ings, for signing the pledges to
be held in school houses, and
village halls all over the Country
on June 2Sth, the ia me Of every
person in the dis trict will be
taken, and entered into report
to be sent later to Washington.
There will be the names OF those
who buy" and the names of
those who don't buy. Those
who are able and "don't buy
will be rated among the "slacA-
ers" and the friends of the
kaiser those who do buy will be
clased as loyal Am orleans, patri-
OTIS and leaders in the stay at
home army.
No one is asked to pledge
more than $1,000 in the baby
bonds, though $1,000 may be
pleged for every memb ber Of a
famiiy-.if there are five in a fam
ly, each may subscribe for $1,000
in bonds. The bonds will be re-
deemed in January, 1923.

Lets Have No SlackerS

The War Savings campaign
which is now on and which Will
be concluded in every state IN
the Union on June 28th is unlver-
sal. That is, it is for everyone
the workingman as well as the
millionaire. In fact. 1t IS prlmafl-
ly for the small wage Garner
to give him chance to show to
Uncle Sam that he is one of his
patriotic citizens. Milllonalres
invest in Liberty Bonds, for the
most part--but the War Savings
Stamp was devised for everyone.
With this Country at War, and
the younger men at the front,
fighting for democracy and those
at home, it is up to the older men
women and the children to do
their part. 1t is not to be a mat
ter of choice with them, Whetnef
or no they do their part 1t IS
to be compulsory.
Everyone MUST buy War
Savings stamps and on June ~
they must pledge themselves to
buy a GER tain amount before tue
year is out. 1t is not to be un-
ders TODD that all stamps are to be
paid for on June 29th-this is not
the correct idea. The idea is to
pledge" on June 28th, and to so
arrange ones affairs that on that
day, each man, woman and child
know just how much he can'buy
in War Savings Stamps before
Decem Der 31st, At that, each
must strain to the utmost to buy
all he can, and if possible aug

we can comply with
this request without hardship to our

fruits and vegetables grown at home
which supply US with very desirable

from the use of wheat. The people OF
the state, generally speaking, are very
prompt to respond to an appeal from
our government,
We have a large crop of new pota-

should be consumed locally, as it will
save transportation if we use the foods
we have at home, and not call upon
the railroads to carry foods, when we
have abundance Of cereals to meet our
needs The fruit crops Of berries,
plums, peaches, etc. are before US and
should be used at this season of the
year, as they are delicious and very
health giving.
I'M connection with these fruits and
potatoes, our war gardens are produc'
ing large quantities of varied vegeta-
bles which the housewife should di-

no one need complain of sameness
in the meals.
At this time no canned fruits or
vegetables should be used, on the con-
trary, the housewife should endeavor
to can and preserve any surplus Of
fruits and vegetables available for
their future needs.
Sugar may be secured for this pur.
nose, and the government encourages
its use for preserving purposes.
These short-lived foods (fruits and
vegetables) may be used literally
where there is an abundance OF them,
to save them from waste.
The housewife If in need of help
or encouragement, should turn to the
home demonstration agent in her
county, and ask for suggestions and
instructions as to the best methods OF
preparing and preserving fruits and
vegetables. These agents have been
scientifically instructed and theif

OVER THE TOP" THREE TIMES
That Is rhe Record OF Fred Rector Before
He Was Wounded.

1t will be remembered that a short
time ago the Chronicle mentioned that
Fred Rector, son of .. b. Rector,
was a messenger on the battle front in
France. That does not seem to be
his only activity either for in recent
letter to his folks, he states that he
went " over the top" three times
before he was wounded. When he
wrote he was in a hospital, suffering
from three wounds but he felt conf
dent he would recover. The follow
ing extracts from his letter are of
interest:
81 am in a hospital; am wounded.
| got three wounds, two in the lett
hip and one in the back from a high
explosive shell, but don't be scared for

suppose you are reading in the
papers every day about the big battle.

small ones but this one Is a good one.
Well, ! am satisfied, | went over the

We make the captured Germans carry
back our wounded. They are sure

Since receiving the letter from
which the above extracts were takes,
MIR. Rector has received second let
ter from Fred and he in getting along
very well nd indications favor his
speedy recovery.

on the Essential modification urged
by the President, " 161 Republicans
voted for and IA against what Pres

voted for and ll8 against the amend

Democratic contemporary says "Clear.
ly no fair mind can fail to give to the
Republican Congress a clean bill of
patriotism in uphoiding the President
to the full and in putting aside all
partisan considerations" How then,

CROSSED GREAT DIVIDE. "
George E. Taylor Passed Away Monday
Morning Of tuberculosis,

Geo. E. Taylor, aged 29, died at his
home here Monday morning at 4;25,
after an illness of few months, with
] tuberculosis,
The deceased has been working as
travelling salesman for the McClut
| Hardware Company, Knoxville, IL
several years and had not only reached
! the point where he was drawing a
handsome salary but was held In very
high esteem by his employers.
About eight or ten months ago he
realizes that his strength was not so
great as usual but did not know that
the dread white plague had gotten him
within its grasp. A few months ago
he gave up work and sought medical
aid, only to be told that the disease mad
secured such hold as to render his
case hopeless. He spent few weeks
at a sanatarium at Ashevllle, N. T.,
| but about two weeks ago he came home
realizing that nothing could be done
and he had only to await the dread
m essenger.
His wife and his mother came with
him and remained constant and patient
attendants at his bedside until death
came. His father, X. M. Taylor, ana
sister, MISS Nell Taylor. of cambridge,
were present at the funeral. one
brother, William L. Taylor, who is
with the colors at Camp Gordon, ATT
lanta, Ca, was also present. as we'll
as numero relatives and frlenus mere.
Another brother, J. Lee Taylor, is
with the coloIs in France.
The funeral services were conducted
at the house by Rev. W. c. Martin.
The Masonic Looge OF Crossvllle then
took charge of the remains and laid
aim tenderiy to rest with the impress
sive rites OF the orcer, in the cemetery
here.
No effort was spared by the people
of our town to show by every mark of
kindness the deep sympathy felt for
the pqreaved and the high respect in
which the deceased was held.
The deceased was man of quiet and
g entlemanly manners,a person whom
everyone learned to love and respect
the more they learned to know him in
fulIness of his hne manhood and
friendly kindness. 1t has been on very
rare occasions that any person has
won the universal esteem of all our
people more fully or quickly than did
Mr.. Taylor. There was as inexplalA-
able something about his quiet man
ners that attracted and held one as is
rarly the case. His death is deeply
regretted by a wide circle of friends.
The deceased leaves wife, the dau~
ghter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ. Martin,
who are among our most respected and
highly estmeed people She will leave
tomorrow for cambridge, IN company
with Mr.. aud Mrs. Taylor and son and

Warships have to be cleaned on the
outside. On one ship alone 200 men
worked all day scraping off 600 tons of
animal and plant growth. This tre-
mendous quantity of sea life had ac-
cumulated in less than two years, dur
ing which time the ship had Travelled
many thousand miles. The weight of
the barnacles was so great that from
Is to 40 per cent more coal was con.
sumed in maintaining the normal speed

found that instead of working a few
hundred men in the mines there it
was very easy 10 work at least a
thousand men and by that means very
greatly enlarge the coal output of the
state. He stated that such arrange
ments wcould be shortly perfected and

English Military Critic Warns Allies
of Dancer

London, Jan. 25.-The situation on
the western front Is critical, in the
opinion of Col. G. A. Repington, one
of the foremost English military crit
les. In his first contribution to the
Post he criticizes Premier Lloyd
George and the war cabinet severely
because, he asserts, they have failed
to maintain the strength Of the Brit
ish armies in the west thereby Great
ing the present conditions
The Germans, he says, now have 165
divisions on the western front, or more
than all the allies combined, eXclud-
ing the Italian theaters. Remarking
that the accumulation of this immense
force may be either to sup 'rt nego-
tiatiOns or for grand attack, the
writer says all the evidence points to
the impending delivery of a series of
great attacks. .ut-h
''The American troops are not COM
ing in as fast as some sanguine esti-
mates, foretold" he writes, "but feel
sure that General Bridges, who ac-
cOmpanied Mr.. BalfOur to the United
States, must have given the war cab
