If you spade your ground, bear down

Substitute Scarcity.
We appreciate some counties will
have difficulty in finding substitutes.
This simply means that wheat or

his stock must lie idle until he can
procure the same.

LET US REMEMBER that our asso-

upon America for food as they have
never depended before. and they ask
us for it with right which they have
never had before. Today they are our

throng of five thousand enthusiastic
persons of Gadsden, the war relic train
which left Atlanta this morning reach

display was eagerly visited by crowds
that packed the cars to the limit of
their capacity. The train was met by
the local committee, of which Colonel
T. w. Kyle was chairman, headed by
a brass band.

the keenest interest and everyone
agrees that it was a splendid idea to
bring such convincing evidence of the
country's needs direct to the people
who are asked to finance the war. There
is not the slightest doubt that substan-
tial subscription to Liberty Bonds will
follow in the wake of this unique dis
play.

AMERICANS WILL
ADMINISTER JOLT,
DECLARES GEORGE
British Premier Says United
States Preparations in Few
Weeks viii Give PruSSian
.Junta Surprise of Their Lives

LONDON, April 6-Premier Lloyd
George, telegraphing today to the lord
mayor of London, on the occasion Of
luncheon given to celebrate Americas
entry into the war, said:
During the next few weeks Ameri-
ca will give the Prussian military Junta
the surprise of their lives.
Premier Lloyd Georges telegram,
which was read to the assembled guests
by the lord mayor, said:
1.-THE decision of the American peo-
pie that it was their duty to join in
the great struggle of free peoples
against the attempt of overweening des-
potism to establish its own universal
dominion by military power, was one
of the most momentous events in his
tory During the past year they have
been bending all their energies to the
work of preparation. During the next
few weeks America will give the Prus-
sian military junta the surprise of their
lives"
Foreign Secretary Balfour said the
meaning of Americas action had not
thus far been appreciated in this coun-
try. To realize what it meant, Eng
lishmen must ask themselves whether
Great Britain would have taken the
same course in the same circumstances.
Mr.. Balfour said it was impossible
to exaggerate the services America was
rendering and the sacrifice she was
making freely by temporarily waving
her ambitions for great national army
by brigading troops with the French and
British.
I'm this hour of the supreme test"
said Ambassador Page in his address,
I'VE are hurrying and we will come in as
many millions as are needed-come
along with you and our French compan-
ions in arms so to redden the fields CT
France that rulers or nations that here
after mediate conquest will see there
the price free men paid for freedom, and
will hesitate and desist.
Your heroic example makes our part
of the task easier. 1t will be an i'm
mortal experience to share your unyield-
ing endurance. No nation that helps
stay this plague will ever outlive the
glory of it's achievement or the thanks
of succeeding generations.
1--WE have to thank you especially for
your sure shield against the subsection
of the seas and threatened attacks on
the lands beyond them. For this 1
speak our appreciation with a new I'M
Outstanding, and this understanding will
never pass from our grateful recollec-
ton"
The ambassador alluded to Mr.. Bal
four as "our good friend throughout his
long public career, whose speech stirs
us to higher effort" and assured him
that his historic service to us is al
ready linked with one of the most heroic
moods of our nation and will so abide
in our appreciative annals" In conclud-
ing his speech Ambassador Page pre-
scented to the city of London, in the
name of the American officers station
ed here, an American flag Gin token of
our appreciation of your kind remem-
brance of this day and of our apprecia-
ton also of this distinguished gather
