WAR SAVING STAMPs

The Fourth Liberty Loan drive
is now out of the way and more
time and interest can be and should
be given to the sale of war savings
and thrift stamps. Only eight
weeks remain for our people to re-
deem their pledges and meet the
quota allotted to this county.
The sales have been quite lively
during the last two weeks. Many
have redeemed their pledges, but
there is yet much to be done if the
county comes over the top as it
has done in every other PROPOSE
tion placed upon it by the govern
ment.
The small investor, who felt that
he was unable to buy bonds and
vet desires to help his government
10 some way, can find just what he
wants in war savings and thrift
stamps. 1t is a good Hnves-
ment and encourages thrift and
saving, two very essential things
to success.
During the next few weeks every
pledge should be taken and those
who did not pledge should con-
tribute as literally as possible to
the success of this undertaking.
The county must not fall behind in
this proposition.

NO LET UP

1t was feared by many that Ger
many's peace note would result in
the slowing down of our war &C
tivities, particularly in our sup
port of the Liberty loan. But we
believe it had the opposite effect.
The amount of bonds asked was
oversubscribed, and there was GER
trinity no weakening of the war
spirit in this community.
The people as whole are trust
ing our president to guard our in
terests and to direct our diplomacy.
Our duty is to give strength to his
arm.
To make our enemies know that
peace is imperative, we mustspeed
up every preparation to continue
the war, and this our government
and people are doing. THERE'S no
let up and should be none until
Germany gives up the fight by an
unconditional surrender.
The time was when Germany
might have gotten a compromise
peace. But she was winning then
and would not consider peace terms.
She has sinned away her day of
grace and she will have to abide
her fate. We need no such a ma
ton as Germany has proven her
self to be. The edict has gone
forth that Prussianism must go.

Notice to dinners

Inasmuch as cotton seed are
valuable for the food properties
they contain and in order to pre-
serve those qualities, they must
be ginned dry and kept dry. You
are, therefore, ordered not to buy
colton,that has been picked and
piled on the ground or otherwise
subjected to a damaging amount oil
moisture. To do so would place
you 10 violation of the federal
food administration regulations.
In connection herewith farmers
are cautioned to so house and
handle their cotton that it will be
dry when it is brought to the gin.

AQUARIUM IN BACK YARD
Something That Any Boy Who Is In
terested Can Easily Construct
! by Himself.

The ideal artificial aquarium is a
tub, pail or tank sunk in the
earth in the back yard, says Edward
r. Bigelow in Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine. When ] visited
Doctor Burgin Of Philadelphia l
found him engaged in the delightful
pursuit Of caring for a combination
aquarium formed by little ponds and
tanks in his back yard.
Any scout who likes to use tools
can make a waterproof box by oiling
the boards and using waterproof
cement at the joints. If the tank is
well made it will not require any
thing in the joints, since the damp
ness of the ground in which the box
is to be sunk and the water within
the box will prevent varying and
the opening Of the joints.
A good substitute for the home
made box is a half-barrel or lard
tub, well cleaned, or an ordinary
Eashtub; indeed, any receptacle that
will hold water will answer the pur-
pose. It should be set in the earth
because it looks more natural there
with the surface of the water level
9Th the surrounding ground.

Cost of Dogs

1t is estimated that there are
about 10000, 900 dogs in the United
States. 1t is also claimed that an
average dog ate $34 worth Of food
yearly. This amount of money
put into hog feed would keep a
a brood sow for ten months. 1t
is estimated that $1,000, 900, 600
worth of food is consumed in the
United States every year by dogs.
The country might conserve a lit
tie along this line to a very great
advantage.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1918
DEMOCRATIC TICKET

The Democrat wants to urge
upon the democrats Of Carroll
county the importance of doing
their duty to their party ticket in
the November election. The party
has q ticket il every way worthy
of their support, and it should be
elected from end to end. 1t is
claimed that the republicans, es-
peciallE in East Tennessee, are ac-
tive and win endeaEor to yet out q
foil vote, making it important that
democrats should be atthe polls on
the day of election.
1t is the patriotic duty of every
voter to 90 to the polls and vote.
This alone can make democratic
form of government stable and Sc
cure. Do your duty BY going to
the election and voting your choice.
It is important that democrats
vote their ticket and thus give
strength and encouragement to
their administration at Washing
ton.

SIIBSCRIBES HER QUOTA

Carroll county has done what
was considered an impossibility.
When her quota in the Fourth
Liberty Loan bond subscription
was fixed at $25l, 900, it was not
believed possible that that amount
of bonds could be sold in the
county. Those having the cam
paign in charge went to work, and
by faithful. energetic effort, the
goal was reached and the amount
slightly oversubscribed.
This success is not only COM
pliment to the workers, but it is a
decided compliment to the citizens
of the county. 1t shows their
loyalty to the government and their
purpose to do everything in their
power to help bring the war to a
successful add victorious close.
Hundreds of Carroll county boys
are on the fighting line and prepar-
ing to 60 to the front, and their
home folk are interested in their
welfare and are Loyalty doing their
part in meeting the demands of the
government, in helping to supply
the munitions of warfare and in
adding to the comforts of the boys
10 the ranks.
The workers and subscribers are
to be congratulated upon the feat
ACCOMPLISHED.

CHILDREN MOCK GOOSE STEP
Belgian Little Ones Display Much Of
the Spirit That Has Marked
Their Elders.

An incident that illustrates the in-
domitable spirit Of Belgium under
the heel of her oppressor is men
toned in Brand Whitlock's personal
narrative Of his war experiences, in
Everybody's. In describing the sort
of humor which is a form of cour-
age, he says:
"This peculiar savory wit, this
sardonic spirit, was everywhere in
play, and it was not long before even
the children of the Marolliens, as
they played at war, marching and
counter-marching there under the
shadow of the Palais de Justice, had
a new game.
"Achtungp (Attention!) the
little captain of the band would
shout, brandishing his wooden
sword. Mach PARISH Ito Paris! }
"And then the little command, do
ing the goose step, the absurdity Of
which did not escape even the chill
dren, would begin to march-back-
ward.
I ut was thus that the children, do
ing the goose, step in the Quarter
des Marolliens, in order to mock the
Germans, celebrated the battle of the
Marine"

1t is certain that republicans in
Tennessee, presuming on the leth-
argy that prevails in political
circles, are going to make a mighty
effort to elect a governor of the
state and senator. Tennessee,
however, is a democratic state

with the proper effort by demo-
cratic leaders in the various COM

as to the result. Every effort

COTTON DECLINES
 43 TO 5l POINTS
Increased Spot Offerings Causes Falling Of on New York Mar ket-Selling by Liverpool and the South.

New York, Sept. 19.-Denials of yesterdays runners of price fixing were followed by rallies after an early break in the cotton market today. btN prices eased off again in the late trad ing, owing to reports of increased spot offerings The general list clos ed easy at net decline of 43 to 5l points.
 There was selling by Liverpool and the South, and also considerable sell ing for Wall street account, but the offerings were we'll taken at the de- cline, with trade interests. including brokers with Japanese connections, among the buyers. This served to steady the market, and prices soon rallied on covering. which was pro noted by denialS that any prices had yet been settled upon in case price fixing was undertaken, and reports that the first subject to be considered uN lilt COtfilllltAtt bl tue " dl lilNQS- tries Board would be the matter of alioting high and low grade cotton.
 It is believed that last year foreign buyers obtained an unfair proportion of the higher grades and that it is proposed to induce exporters to take a bale below for every bale above mid ding this season. Toward the close there was increased selling by the South and a renewal of liquidation.
 Prospects of cold weather in Okla homa were factor on the midday rally. It is reported that gins in Louisiana will suspend operations for the week beginning tomorrow.
