Although the demand FOR men to
serve overseas under the Red Triangle
has in no measure been met and
while many more, especially those
endowed with the gift of leadership,
are needed; DR.. w. w. Alexander,

from all walks of life, ranging from
university heads to auto mechanics.

CAN SHIP HOGS
BY ACTING TOGETHER

1t will be to the advantage of farm
ers il they make shipments OF ;at
finished hogs from the county direct
to the central market.
The great value of cooperative
shipment is that it enables group
of farmers, each with less than a car
load, to cooperate and load car,
thus getting the benefit Ct car-lot
freight rates, as well as Of reduced
commission charges in selling by the
car load.
The price that farmers will re-
ceive for their hogs will be the actual
market value at the stock yards, less
the cost of delivery to the stock
yards. The price that one will receive
for hogs on a market is usually great
er than that which one would receive
thru the usual methods of selling,
which | assume to be selling on foot
to local droyer. The reasons ;Or
this are obvious. Tie local drover
buys the hogs from group Of farmers
as cheaply as he cai., He ships them
TO the same market to which the farm
ers can Ship them, The dr2yer. is not
in business for pleasure. llhere are
expenses which he must meet. For
this reason he usually buys from the
farmer at a margin on the central
market large enough to allow him
good profit and pay for his expenses.
If farmers eliminate this local drover
and ship direct. their profits and ex-
penses affect their own pockets.
Farmers will get a fair deal, and
market, provided they consign to a
reputable firm. 1t is not necessary
for a man to make trip to market,
but in the case of the first cooperative
shipment from a county, it is wise
thing to have the prominent men go
on the yards with the stock and sec
how they are handled.

BONE DRY LAW IS
UP HELD BY COURT
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
SETS AT REST QUESTION OF
LAWS VALIDITY.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE consti-
nationality of the statute of 1917 pro-
hibiting the movement of intoxicating
liquors in this state, as well as the re-
ceipt of such liquors and their posses
sion after an unlawful transportation.
was on Tuesday upheld and sustained
by the Supreme Court at its final opin-
ion session at the State Capitol
The validity of the statute was at
tackled in two cases argued before the
Supreme Court at Jackson in May, ap-
pealed from Upton and Carroll coun-
ties. The convictions in the two cases,
one against Harrison Kizer and the
other against Arthur Hall, were af-
firmed. In third case, Blackman
and Albritton VS.. State, the proper
CONSTRUCTION Of the, statute was in.
.voKed. This case also was affirmed.
Justice Williams. delivered the opinion
of the court in the three cases.
The court held that the statute
does not violate the provisions of Che
constitution which. provide. that the
subject of every statute must be ex-
PRESSED in it'd title. The Subject Of
thetttatutefMass stattf by thsstturt
to be the making more effective the
prohibition laws of the state, and it
was held that the several provisions
of the act are all within the scope Of

The court oyerruled the contention
that the personal transportation of in
toxicating liquor within or into the
state which the statute prohibits is
confined to intoxicating liquors which
have been received from common or
other carrier, and it is held that all
transportation or movement of intox-
icating liquors from one flace to an

PROTECT CHILDREN
(By United Press.)

(by OHlteu HreSS.D
CHRISTIANA, Aug. 5.-Norway has
decided on the square deal for ille-
Ultimate children.
Laws recently enacted give "com-
plete national recognition" to the
child born out of wedlock. In doing
so, Norway takes the lead among
modern nations.
The legislation establishes the re-
sponsibility of the state in providing
for the nurture, protection and edu-
cation" of Nightmares.
The state henceforth will hold both
parents equally and continuously re-
sponsible;" the child to be entitled to
bringing UP, maintenance, training
and education-from both father and
mother.
The new attitude thus established
is that the child welfare problem must
be solved for the sake of the child and
the state.

SOUTH'S FIRST CARLOAD
OF CHEESE JUST SHIPPED
Special to The Herald.

special 10 Inc Herald.
SHOUNS, Tenn, Aug. 5.-Farmers
near here in both Tennessee and
North Carolina are boasting of having
made the first carload shipment of
cheese of southern manufacture ever
made in the South. The shipment,
consigned to Winston Salem, N. c.,
was made the last part of July. Eight
cheese factories contributed to the
car; five in the mountains of North
Carolina; three in Tennessee. The
three factories in Tennessee are all
located in Johnson county: Shouns,
Trade, and Laurel Valley. In the
shipment were Cos boxes of cheese
weighing 1866 pounds, which will
bring the farmers more than $4,000
Two hundred farmers were interested
in the shipment. The cheese, it is
understood, is all for southern con-
sumption.
The development of the cheese in
dustry in these communities is the re-
suit of educational work done by the
extension division of the two states, IN
cooperation with the United States
department of agriculture. Farmers.
who have had poor outlet for their
milk, are now able to market their
whole milk at reasonable PRICES and
receive the whey back for feeding pur.
poses, whereas in years past they
have not been able TO make the cows
pay their way.

TENNESSEE FARMERS DO
MUCH WORK WITHOUT help
G. Il. ALFRED
Farm Help Specialist

Division Of Extension, University of
Tennessee.
Farm help pecialists of the state
divisions of extension and the U. s.
department of agriculture for the
southern states recently met in con-
ference at Birmingham, Alabama, Cor
the purpose of perfecting plans for
meeting the farm labor shortage dur
ing the coming year. The spirit Of
the meeting was one of service.
Southern farmers have worked
harder this year than ever before,
have taken up the slack, ind made
their plans in such way as to re-
quire as little labor as possible,
They are proving their patriotism in
a very practical way. Many who IN
past years have done no actual labor
are taking the lead in the fields.
The negro farmers are imblbing the
spirit of patriotic service. Formerly,
in many communities, the colored
men have done little or no work On
Saturday. This custom is being abol-
islled and thousands Of negroes are
working the full six days. Of. the week,
Men of the towns and cities have
gone out by the hundreds 1, work in

these men have. worked, report ex,
cellent results. The plan having
proven successful this season, viii
be extended next year so that. if
necessary, it will furnish harvesting
assistance in all part of tne State.
The women of the south are also en-
listing for farm service. Thousands
of town and city boys are replacing
men on farms. Stringent vagrancy
laws are rapidly putting an end to the
career of the loafer. Farmers every
where are making greater use Of two
three, and four-hourse teams, and of
labor-saving machinery. Cooperate re
clubs have been organized among
neighboring farmers for .hreshing,
silo filing, and similar work. Farm
ers are planning their work ahead,
putting their machinery in repair be-
fore it is needed, and in many other
ways increasing the efficiency of
their man power.

ALL STATES REPORT FAVOR
ABLY ON PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT

Atlanta, Ga, May livery state
legislature which has met since con-
gress passed the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution has
passed favorably on the amendment,
and when the Georgia Legislature
meets in June it will ratify the amend
ment by an overwhelming majority.
Such at present is the status of the
movement for nationwide constitu-
tional prohibition. as described by J..
A. Christian, superintendent of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League, who is
busily preparing plans whereby the
prohibition forces of the state will
rally their full strength both in and
out of the Legislature to put the
amendment over the top in this state.
r'Eleven states have ratified the
amendment since it was submitted by
congress" states Mr. Christian. Five
OF these are wet states-that is, they
are not statewide prohibition states.
80 tar every safe whose legislature
has met has ratified the amendment
with the exception of Nebraska, and
that was not test, as the Nebraska
legislature met in special session and
simply postponed the amendment I'M
til its next regular session.
We do not expect to lose single
dry state. Alabama will probably
give us the hardest fight of any in
the dry column. If we win in every
dry state we must still have four more
states in order to put prohibition into
the constitution. The four most
likely are Louisiana, which is 45 per
cent dry; Florida. which is 81 per
cent dry; California, which is "a per
cent dry; and Minnesota, which is 90
per cent dry. Vermont is nearly 80
per cent dry and we have a chance
there; Ohio is AZ per cent dry and
the liquor forces are scared stiff.
II we hold keen fighting edge
to the end of 1919 we will win. The
sight OF the goal, coupled with the
sacrifices and prayers of dead and liv-
ing heroes, is the challenge to the
manhood Of America"
