STOP THE UNNECESSARY SHIP
MENTS OF FOOD.
(Lynch5urg News.)

The Council of National Defense
has sent out request to the public
begging that the practice of sending
food to the soldiers in camps and in
environments be discontinued for sew
eral reasons. In first place, the boys
do not need the food, as they are
the best fed people in the world In
the second place. an enormous guam
tity of food is practically wasted in
this way, wasted because it is not
needed, and it might be used by those
who do need it. Then much of it,
the council says, and it seems rea-
sonable, is spelling because of the de-
lays in transit, in heated express
cars and mail cars.
The request is made that this be
brought especially to the attention of
the relatives of soldiers and of their
friends, so that the practice may be
stopped
OF course the government regrets
exceedingly that it should become
'NSN'7''e'' W ih''NS tiiiS ictlucSl, DuJ IL
IS reasonable request, if not ali
absolutely necessary one. 1t is like
iy to become necessary one in order
that every particle of food may be
saved, either for home consumption
or for shipment to our allies, chiefly
Tor home consumption, as the food
sent is not usually Of the kind that is
sent abroad, but may readily take
the place of food suitable for ship
ment
There is another serious objection
to making such shipments: They
add TO the demands for shipping
space, which is now already over
crowded with things absolutely es-
sential to the business OF the coun-
try or to the conduct of the war
Every individual owes it to his
country at this time to limit his
wants and especially his pleasures
in order to help along. Useless ship
ments of whatever character should
be held back until transportation is
relieved from the fearful congestion
that now weighs on it.

/ For fifty years Germany has been
organizing and laboring to supplant it
with "Kultur," the genius of Infdeli-
ty. Her college professors have been
obsessed with it. Her universities
have seethed with it. In acclaiming
myself and Cod" the Kaiser has put
the Imperial seal upon it. When our
armies have run it to it's lair-when
they have crushed it-naught will
have been gained unless the glorious
Banner Of the Cross is hoisted-even
as Moses lifted the serpent in the will

Germany are babe to gather about it
and beneath ii as sadly they collect
the debris of their ruin for the re-
! construction of The Fatherland.

A "PREFERRED CREDITOR"

Our S. o. S. call, the last call, i"
sent out last week. has brought II
number of responses from different
sections of the "News" territory. In
many cases the "batwings" and the
white sails" only were enclosed. In
other instances the subscribers took
time to says something pleasant and
encouraging A few of these letters
are given here. Says our friend, w.

THE AWAKENING OF BUCHAN.
AN.

(From Buchanan Sc;,ool HeraldO
One more Christmas has come in
Buchanan. The Christmas of 1916
the rain came down almost inces-
sanity. The mud was deep and slip
perry, but what did thai matter TO
those of us who had with us those
we loved. The home fires were burn
ing brightly and hte holly and mis-
tictoe with their red and white ber-
ries hung in fcstoons from pictures
and lamps. From one end of the
county to the other there was plenty
and the stranger in our mids. was
fed.
At night the neighbors children
would come in and often the older
folk with them and as the banios
played, the young ones would LEAD
Down Maggie" or "Circle Four"
while the older ones sat by the fire
and talked of other Christmases and
looked with pride on the fine speci-
mems of young manhood and woman
hood-their children. In the hearts
OF some was the secret hope that
sometime Mary and John would have
Il home of their own and "settle
down" or part of the farm as their
fathers and mothers before them had
done.
We were satisfied with life and
our surroundings. Did we not have
enough to eat and to wear? What
else was there in life? In some
places q newspaper seldom made its
way. The outside world had its du-
ties and pleasures. Our mountains
cut us off from that world and we
lived separate and apart with our
own duties and our own pleasures.
Some of us knew that on the other
side of the world that "they" were
at war, but who very few of us knew
or cared
And so Christmas of 1916 passed
away.
The very first spring days came
en-, women and children went to the
new ground and began clearing for
the usual crops of corn, beans, and
potatoes, but there was vague I'M
rest, for some had thought that war
was imminent.
AT last the memorable day, April
z, 1917, came! War mad been declar-
ed on Germany. Who Germany was
some Of us did not know or care.
In that subtle way that news is
passed from cove to cove. from noun
tain peak to mountain peak, so the
news Of the declaration of war reach
ed every mountain home in sur
prisingly short time
The chief topic of conversation
now became the WAR. Many and
varied were the opinions expressed
by the menfolk as to the cause, the
number Of men needed, as to how
the army would be formed and as to
the probable duration-the women,

NOBODY HURT.

We have had one "workless" Mon
day and the world still moves and
the people still live and eat, notwith-
standing the direst predictions.
Every store and business coming
under the schedule wisely arranged
obeyed the law so far as known. De-
spatches says that the effect of this
one days observance of the injunc-
tons of Mr.. Garfield, are already
seen in improved shipping conditions
Vessels are being loaded at the
whafves. coal is being shipped to the
freezing families in the large cit
les. The ends nave fully justified the
means. Nobody is hurt.

The State school business is an ey.
err present source of discussion and
criticism. Each succeeding session of
the General Assembly has the ques-
ton up. The present session propos-
es a thorough investigation and a
sitting of the entire system. The
school question is the States most
important and far-reaching one-one
that seems difficult to handle to best
advantage. Let the Investigations. if
made, be thorough, and be made by
men who know something about the
schools and the needs, and who are
disinterested from political stand
point or any other selfish standpoint.
The State needs modernized school
methods, and needs them badly.

THE COORDINATE COLLEGE.

Miss Lottic NJ. Evans, the we'll
known President of the Richards
school, is the representative of "thc
cause" for Tazewell county, and was
asked to say something, if she choose,
through this paper on the subject,
to the people of the county. She
replies, under date Of january Goth:
IL do not care to assume the re-
sponsibility of an article at this stage
of the game" and adds: "To my
mind it is either coordination mt this
session Of the Legislature or co-educa-
ton to which | am overwhelmingly
opposed. The change that is apparent
in Woman's legal status can only
mean that, SO far as my prophetic
vision can reach. | never want to
see the time when we have co-edu-
cation, consequently hope the leg
islature will make provisions that will
ultimately eliminate the necessity of
it. Thanking you, etc.
Very truly yours,
LII LIE vi. EVANS.
Governor Stuart, in his message to
the legislature, recommended that in
view of the existing conditions, no
new legislation involving great np-
preparations, be undertaken at this
session. There is not likely to be.
And there is little or no danger that
the educational interests of Virginia
will collapse and go to smash if this
coordinate college is not built right
away. The women, up to this time,
have been given about all and every
thing they have asked, and in this
great war crisis, they should defer,
and must, to the judgment and adj
7ice Of our wisest leaders.
