Plan to do all or the fall blowing

the grass before blowing. Your soils
need the nitrogen and humus.
Mulch the garden with leaves if

You can afford to pick all of the

price will pay yon to do so.
II you haven't good brood SOW on

you there. There is nothing better
than a good sow on the farm for

You will make money by painting

payed and it will do so so now.
Now is the time to terrace your
lands and phil out the stumps. Do
this this winter and save time and
worry next spring.
If your land is wet and will not
produce well, it will pay you, to cut
some drain bitches and put in some
thing.
There is a lot of work that can be
done on the rainy days such as clean
| ing up ditch banks, repairing harness
/ and adjusting fences.
II you have been wise enough to
select your seed for next year. you
should then place them where the

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Adminlstra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Leaves
of Bread for Every American.
NuMBER u

BY adopting cleaner threShfng meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully,
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent TO about seven one-poundl
loaves Of bread for every person I'M
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown BY
reports from 80 grain states to the r..
5. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent. the estimated average
In normal times ITO the lowest possis
Bile minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases of compulslon were COM
paratiyely rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars sin pocket
as a result of the grain saved.

proved SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europes fate in the
months TO come. In the past year we
hive carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which Is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have conc, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 1920
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons OF food to Europe in the comilf,
year--as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them 10 maintain their de
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have concsusiyciy proved that delnoc-
racy Is d success a1o that in time OF
need ii will rise to its own defense.
Ii there were no other accomplish
menf TO Its credit the very fact that It
has shown the strength of democracy
has IN itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to. meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"sIany thinking Americans said
Mr.. Hoover, @and the whole wotlc
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize Il
meet autocratic Germany. German,
has been confident that it could not b.
done Contrary proof Is imlnediatel,
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability I,
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many dl
rections and upon the mere word o
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assembiage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Administra
ton has clearly shown that the trus
OF those who put their faith In dem0c
racy has not been misplaced.

People Of McNairy county will be in
terested in knowing that we have sold
up to the last day of October within
the county through the banks. post
( ffices and other selling agencies. ap.
proximately total of $l65,000 in
War Savings stamps. The population
Of McNairy county has been estima-
ted at 1850 and with an allotment
Of 500 90 for each person. the quota
Of McNairy county is approximately
1927, 900.
The State Director, by direction
and authority of Hon. Joseph A. Nc
Cord, governor Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank for the Sixth district,
which has full authority in the War
Savings campaign, has set apart De-
cember i as final pledge redemption
day when War Savers are called upon
to go to their regular sales agency
where now their pledge cards are on
file and there purchase whatever bal
ance Of the pledges has not been ta-
ken up to that time. This county
cannot afford to be trailing in this
matter. When the campaign ends on
the last day OF the year we must by
all means be able to report to State
Director Preston that our pledges
have been met in full and that we
have fulfilled our signed obligations.
1t is confidently asserted that il the
pledges are thus redeemed this coun-
ty will have met its full allotment
and will have made another record Of
meeting the war demands Of the gov
eminent. Aside from jealousy of our
record as county, we are a part Of
the great state of Tennessee. Up to
date we lead every southern state in
War Savings and hold an honorable
place among them all. McNairy
county is counted upon to help per-
feet Tennessee's showing in this re-
spect in order to maintain her proud
position of having not failed in any

II was unfortunate for the
country and particularly for the
democratic party that President
Wilson has been so PARTISAN in
his selection Of leaders in great
war measures, and especially in
the makeup Of his peace commits
sion. There is not a man on it
Of gigantic craftsmanship. He
selected Mr.. White as an osten-
sible republican, who has never
been known as anything but a
soft shelled, fosilized old embas-

not consulting his own party as

Some things we can understand
and some we cannot. We see
why hogs and wheat are so high,
because the world must be fed,
but we cannot see why cotton
should be going down every day.
The people must be clothed as
well as fed. Cotton is as low
now as it can be raised. The ac-
tual crop is short and the demand
must be great. yet the price de-
clines. The wheat and hog crop
is lerge and prices are advancing.

The President delivered his
message to Congress Monday. 1t
gave the reasons for his going to
the peace conference. He said
reconstruction was as great a
question as the organizing of the
army. He was not emphatic in
regard to ownership of railroads.
His appearance before this joint
assembly of Congress was not ac-
cepted by the body with as much
