Tighten Up the ScreDs

How then shall we tighten up the

DONE We must stop all leaks econ

sugar. We must get more mileage,
give up pleasure and profit, knit,
work, inspire others, insist that all
obey the law, and watch out for spies.
The motor must have subscribe
to the Liberty Loan! Lubricate the
machinery with contributions to the
Red Cross!
There is, in short, only one thing
upon which we must all concentrate
Success! And Success will not come
until every man, woman and child
realizes his own vital responsibility in
the prosecution of this war as a great
crusade for universal democracy.
Are you doing everything in your
power to help win the war ?-helping
in every way and every day? Do you
feel that nothing matters except vic.

A war machine, today, is America.
Travelling the road of Success, 1t is
bound for Victory.
With the direction of the machine
we have, most Of us, little to do. We
must trust the man at the wheel of
State to drive forward with speed and
care.
But with the condition of the ma
chine itself we are implicitly concern
ed. For its effective operation we are
every one of us responsible. Every
American is, in fact, an essential part
of the mechanism which is to carry
the world forward to new era of lib
erty.
But the motor, alas, is not yet "tun-
ed up" 1t rattles badly. Loose and
imperfectly assembled, it knocks and
overheats.
Why? Because so many of us are
still careless and confident, indiffer
ent to our duty as citizens. Last week,
for instance, there were reported 537
violators of the lighting regulations in
New York. There still are profiteers,
still women who knit colored sweaters
for their own use, still persons who
repeat scandalous rumors, lettering
the Cause. Tightwads and slackers
still abound. No wonder. our war ma
chine Is still Intellectual. 1t needs the
regulation of a national conscience.

in this connection 1t should be remem-
bered that not once did member
of the Columbia team use unfair or
rough tactics in winning the game.
The Nashville papers report Of the
game concluded as follows:
The lasses from Columbia were bet
ter than the Hume-Fogg girls in pass
ing. The teamwork of the latter was
mot UP to their splendid work last
year, when they defeated thes same
Maury county girls. Miss Brush is to
be congratulated on her excellent
coaching. Miss Brown played a stel-
lar game, as did Miss Pattie Hillard.
Miss Corinne Ware and Miss Hill
also played an excellent scoring game
for High School.
Mr.. John McEwen, the well-known
local COW feed salesman, enjoyed the
game immensely. Once he lived in
MRury County. He is waiting now to
receive message reading, Come on
hcme--the sheriff is dead"
He liked the game, but was forced
to admit the Columbia chickens were
not nearly so healthy as when they
arrived. For Miss Mildred Brown
leaves destruction in her wake-that

Tuesdays Election /
Is Suffrage Victory
Mrs. Cats Opinion

New York, Nov. 7.-Suffragists
now are confident, in view OF the
election results, that there will be
sufficient votes in the Goth congress
to pass the Anthony amendment to
the federal constitution enfranchis-
ing the women of the United Stat 5,
according to statement issued
here today by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton.
The indications are" she said.
that Tuesday scored more victories
for suffrage than were ever before
crowded into any one election day.
Suffrage has apparently carried
Michigan by . substantial majority,
and South Dakota has likewise been
made safe for democracy by the
passage of Amendment E. the cit
izenship measure, which aimed to
enfranchise South Dakota women at
the same time that it disfranchised
South Dakota foreigners who have
been voting on six months resi-
dence.
"As to the congressional elections
we are we'll pleased. While it is too
soon to make any positive state
ments. it seems as if there are now
votes enough in the senate short
term to pass the amendment and
there will undoubtedly be votes to
spare for its passage in both houses
of the Goth congress"

Cold Weather Would
Cause Heavy Damage
To Sugar Beet Crop

Railrond officials assert that
should winter come on now and cold
weather continue in the western
part of Nebraska and in Colorado
and Wyoming, the loss to the beet
growers would be very heavy. In
some of the fields the crop has been
partly gathered, but in more of
them, owing to the scarcity of help,
the work of pulling and getting
ready for shipment to the factories
has hardly commenced. -.
In the sugar beet growing dis
tricts, men, women and children
have been called into the fields and
in many instances in some localities
the work has been carried on II to
Is hours a day.
The potato crop has been gather
ed land freezing weather will
not work any damage TO the tuber
crop. More than half of the pota-
toes have been shipped to market
and those held back are being, or
have, been, placed in winter stor-
age In towns, or close to the fields:
In the potato growing districts OF
the state where a considerable por-
ton of the crop is being held in
anticipation of higher prices next
spring, immense cellars, or caves
have been dug below the winter
frost line. These have been filled
with potatoes and covered over.
Some of these cellars are large
enough to hold 5000 to- 5000 bushels
of potatoes.

He HAD SUFFERED
FOR Is LONG YEARS
Timme OverComes Troubles by
Taking TanIac and Gains

"Not in years have I enjoyed such

"Well, I gradually lost weight and

lac, but since began taking this
medicine. / have been gaining
ground right along. 1t seemed to
suit my case just like it had been
made especially for me. I began to
improve right from the start and it
wasn't long until my appetite was so
ravenous that I could hardly get
enough to eat. I never feel the least
bit of pain or discomfort now after

Bakers Assert That Prices

Agitation of bread prices has be-
come general throughout the United
States in the last 80 days. More
than 50 hearings for change in price
have been reported in that time,
Bakers generally throughout the
country complain of a sharp de-
crease in business due to the, re-
vised regulations of the food ad-
ministration.
Because of this fact, men of the
baking industry insist that the av-
erage price of bread throughout the
United States is at the present too
low. Investigation by the bakers
hA revealed the fact that women
generally are not using substitute
fours in the making of bread. but
are baking an all-wheat -four loaf,
with which the bakers must COM
pete with loaf 20 per cent of which

LONDON LOSES
power TO GASP
At WAR news
Events Come with Such Light
ming Rapidity that There is
No Capacity Left. for
Surprise.

Iondon, Nov. 6.-The last days Of
the war have been so crowded with
enormous events that there is no
capacity left for surprises or sensa-
tons. The terms Of President Will
sons note to Germany dealing with
the freedom of the seas and COM
pensation to the allies, are endorsed
by all newspapers here. 1t is be-
lieved that Germany knew from the
terms of the Austrian armistice the
sore of peace it had to expect and
that its military and political situa-
tons give it no alternative but to
bow News comes from the front
that the hard pressed German armies
have no fresh divisions left to throw
into the battle. They have no greet
reserves of ammunition. The Ger
man people are demanding peace at,
any price to save whatever they
NAV from the wreckage.
From a British viewpoint, the
greatest humiliation Germany will
suffer will be in having its fleet sur
render or pass out of the war with
OUT one great fight to the death.
Free Speech in Germany.
Even the best informed men here
are unable to arrive at a/clear judg-
ment, from the many conflicting re-
ports as to the magnitude of the
revolt against war among the Ger
man people, or how strong is the
demand for the emperor's abdica-
ton. One fact is plain. There never
was such freedom of speech in Ger
many as today.
Diplomats and soldiers are each
trying to place the blame for their
country's downfall on the other.
Placards have blossomed out in Ber-
lin saying the emperor and the
crown prince must go. Correspon-
dents are permitted to telegraph
from Berlin that the vacillating
character of the emperor is respon-
sible for most of the nations mis-
fortunes.

LIVED LIKE CAVE

AMERICAN
Pittsburgher Tells Of Horrors
of Life in Austrian City
During Four Years
of War;.

Trieste, Nov. by Associated
Press)-The only American in
Trieste when the Italian forces land
ed was Arthur Baker of Pittsburgh.
1--WE had been living like cave
men for four years." he said to the
correspondent, never seeing a
friendly face and spending our en-
tire income on food. 1t required
$4,000 to live even indecently. 1t
was a common thing for rich men to
beg pair of trousers from acquaint-
ances. There was so much paper
money that it was vaiueless. The
only way to obtain thing was to
find something the other fellow
wanted, and then trade.
Fags Two Bits Each.
Farmers, gave up food on this
basis. Shoe strings sold for 81 a
pair and cigarets for a quarter of a
dollar each. Flour was SIS a pound.
Horse meat was the same price, as
also was butter. The people of the
city ate bread made of the bark Of
trees. In Dalmatia they ate grass.
Professor Slaughter Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has arrived here on
board a destroyer loaded with pro-
visions.
Many touching comments by suf-
ferers from the war have been heard.
An Austrian woman, born in Vienna
of an Italian mother, said today:
I'VE never thought the war would
end so. Just think, | have lost my
brother in it and also my fortune.
I worked for three years with the
Red Cross. I have fsoldier son but
have received no news concerning
him. We now realize it was the
fault of Germany"
Otherwise than for the losses to
the shipping business Trieste has not
suffered severely. There are plenty
of young men about the streets. The
people are clothed decently, show
ing that there is no shortage of
clothes.
Had Influenza Epidemic.
The influenza in October killed a
hundred persons daily here. 1t is
said>that thousands died every day
- Vienna in October, where it was
impossible to bury the dead owing
to lack of vehicles.
Vienna is reported to be quiet, ex-
cept for political demonstrations.
The soldiers are demobilizing as
they please in the. capital. =
Trieste~does not show dilapitated
condition OF other war cities, and it
was spared by the Italians in their
air raids. The streets of the city
are clean and houses look neat. The
public building is in excellent con-
dition.
The only war change visible is at
the postofice. The monument of
the old emperor there has its face
covered with ragged coat.
There are four Englishmen and
one naturalized American in Trieste.
