HlRSUTE CONSERVATION
LATEST WAR MEASURE

Los Angeles, Cal.-Conserva-
ton Of whiskers Is the latest
wartime measure advocated
here. If every man and youth
would refrain from getting a
haircut and shave for a month,
mathematicians figure something
like 100000 would be saved in
labor, time, rent, electricity and
gas.
This, however, admittedly
would be hard on the barber and
the opposition Of the ladies to a

hirsute adornments on beau and

MISCONSTRUED.

There appeaed in recent issue of
this paper short article entitled
Hiding Behind Cornstalks and Wo-
ems Shirts" upon which an entirely
wrong construction has been placed.
We have been since informed that
the expression was used by patri-
otto speaker here recently, and sig
nificance of its use in the article
referred to implied direct thrust
at the speaker making use IF the
words. There was no intention on
our part to reflect upon this gen
tlemen, who in large measure, is
giving of his time and means to
the prosecution of the war, and
whose entire family is patriotic to
the last degree, and who, further,
has made the supreme sacrifice of
offering m only son TO the cause of
democracy. If the nation were made
up of families like the one repre-
scented by the speaker referred to,
there would be so necessity of horn
blowing, and ranting over The coun-
try and begging and bcseeching to
put over the top Liberty Loan Red
Cross, Y. Nj. c. A. and kindred
drives, and there would be no vacant
places in Red Cross work rooms, nor
lack of bandages for our wounded
soldiers.
The speakers charge that there
are men in this county hiding behind
cornstalks and womens shirts has
been sustained by the discovery by
the local board that some of the men
in the county have made false affi-
davits, and are not "::ctivcly en-
gagged in farming" and have never
been engaged in farming in any
capacity until very recently when
they changed their occupation in
order to evade army service. Such
men, and those being party to such
transactions are "slackers" of the
most vicious kind, and must be here
after classed with that enemy of the
sheep raiser known as the yellow
dog.

THE LIMIT OF INFAMY..

Germany has about reached the
limit in the catalcg of infamies. For
the future she must begin at the be-
ginning and go over the same or
similar ground in the future. The
latest act Of vandalism and hellcry
was the sinking OF the British hospit-
al ship, Llandonovery Castle. This
"Mercy Ship" laden with broken
fragments of humanity, bound for
home and loved ones" as the Roa-
noke Times aptly puts it, was de-
libcratcly, without excuse, just out
of pure, unauthorized dcvilishncss,
sent TO the bottom with most of the
unfortunate aboard. There will be ii
day Of reckoning" further says the
Times, as surely rs there is God of
Justice in the heavens. Until it comes
we can only reckon up the score and
keep careful count"

SUSPEND OR POSTPONE UNNE-
CESSARY WORK.

The suggestion is made, and
good one and reasonable, too, that
all work which calls for the expcndi-
ture of money and the employment
of men, be postponed, at least for n
year, and every dollar and all man
power, be put into some occupation
or business for winning the war, as
far as is possible and expedient to
do so.
All road building except main
tenancc, all repairs to buildings, new
buildings, painting, fencing, etc, has
been named among the enterprises
which may be postponed, at least for
Il time, and the men employed there
in released for other work neces-
sary. Ice cream and soft drinks arc
not needful but luxurics and sources
of needless expenditure which might
we'll be discontinued, it has been sug-
gested, and men employed in these
industries released for other work. 1t
is admitted, of course, that as far
as possible business should go on as
usual, but business cannot go on as
usual in all departments, and the

LAYING BY" TOO EARLY G.?

Owing to the advanced and rapid
growth of corn some farmers are
tempted, if not forced, TO lay by ear
ly this year. The best farmers have
said that corn yields are Increased
by blowing us late as possible, even
after it has tasselcd out. The late
summer suns bake the ground, and
weeds and grass come whooping.
Some think grass and weeds do lit
tie harm in well grown corn. Grass
and weeds "eat" the corn food in the
soil. If there is enough on the table
for all the company it doesn't mat
ter, but to feed Il dozen hungry peo-
pie when there is only about enough
for six, means that somebody must
go hungry. The same in the corn
fields.

BUYING LIBERTY BONDS
BELOW PAR.

The charge has been made that
certain citizens in Taewcll county
have bought Liberty Bonds below
par, the purchases being made thru
banking institutions outside of the
county. OF course these gentlemen
have perfect legal right to do this,
but in the teeth of the urgent re-
quest of the Government that such
practice be not engaged in, it is
certainly a questionable business
transaction in t he present emcr-
gency, and no man who regards his
future in this country can afford,
even for monetary gain, to engage
in any practice that will not be
looked upon with favor by the pc
ople. The war will end one of these
days, and when the boys with empty
sleeves, eyesight gone, and their bod
les torn, return home and gather at
the country store and talk over the
hardships they endured for us, the
man who didn't "play on the level''
while they were gone will have to
hide his face in shame and disgrace
Buying Liberty Bonds is not mon
ey-making investment, but an invest
ment for the happiness and security
Of posterity.
After the war the young men who
return as graduates from the most
wonderful training school on earth
will be the dominant factors in the
nations social, industrial and politi
cal life. They are learning great les
sons now that they could not learr
here in q dozen life-times.

GRAHAM PEOPLE STIRRED.
Graham Daily Nesw.)

Graham people were stirred Sun
day afternoon by an excellent address
by the Rev. ii. E. Kelso, of Taze-
well. The meeting took place in the
Methodist church and the edifice was
well filled with an audience that was
very attentive as well as responsive.
Mr.. Greever could not be present,
but the Rev. Mr.. Kelso handled the
situation admirably ana likewise han
ded the German kaiser and Prussian
autocracy some sledgc hammer blows.
His mission was to attempt to inject
renewed enthusiasm into the people
in the War Saving Stamps drive
and at the conclusion of his speech
cards were passed among the audi
ence and additional pledges obtained.
Attorney j. w. Hicks introduced
the speaker of the occasion, telling
of some of the hardships of the Civil
War and warning the people to pre-
pare for still greater sacrifices. Mr..
Hicks told of seeing women working
in the corn fields of Tazeweil county
the other day, and recalled how the
women of the south took the places
of the men during the War between
the states. The Methodist choir fur
nished appropriate music for the oc-
casion. 1t is believed that the rally
will do lot of good and help to
further stimulate the people to their
duties and responsibilities in the
emergency.
Meetings were held at many points
over Tazewell county Sunday, with
speakers present to talk to the peo-
pie on the issues of the war. V. l..
Sexton, of Graham, addressed pat
riotic rally at Falls Mills Sunday
morning, which was well attended.

PROFITEERS CAUGHT.

The investigation made by order
of Congress into the cause of high
prices locates definitely the trouble.
Meat packers leather dealers and
other manufacturers, by the report
of this Committee, have made cnor-
nous profits since the beginning of
the war, one of these as much rs
267 per cent on its capital stock. The
retail shoe dealers, says the report,
are getting a larger profit than the
wholesalers. "The Commission has
reason TO know" says the report,
that profiteering exists. Much of it
is due to advantage taken of the
necessities of the times. Some of it
is attributable to inortlinate greed,
and brae-facd fraud"
The report of the Commission
covered large number of industries
steele, leather, meat, COAL copper,
milk, canning etc, all of which
showed enormous increase of profits
during 1917, over Is and 16. Subtcr-
fuges reported to Of various Kinds
by these institutions coming under
the ban. In many cases, salaries of
officers were enormously increased,
one concern rs much as = million
dollars, overhead expenses, commits
sions, were used as camouflage The
commission makes no recommendati-
on or suggestion as to what shall
or should be done to these profitecrs,
who taking advantage of the occasion
put up prices in order to fill their
own Golfers mt the expense of the
poor. A good many folks, however,
could prescribe, Jail sentence per-
haps, and confiscation of excess pro-
fits for the war chest fund, would
not amiss.

BEST ON EARTH.

81 wonder whether you American
men when the test comes, are going
to live up to your very high reputa-
ton. AS husbands you are considered
to have no equals on the face of the
earth. When little jars occur, as they
do in the best households, we have
been known to tell our lawful spouses
that we wished we had married
American husbands, Even now, I
suppose, you have to eat things that
you don't particularly want. The true
patriot is the man who can eat an

his face, and tell the woman who pre-
pared it that it is as good as the

CONNECTION IN GERMANY.
(The Roanoke Times.)

The head huns ought to agree OH
a story and stick to it. Hardly had
the Kaiser finished enthusiastically
proclaiming that "the good old Ger
man sword" would surely hack its
way to victory than Won Kueh!mann
his Foreign Secretary, threw all Ger
many into something closely resem-
bling Mysteries by bluntly announcing
that a military decision was "im-
possible" and hence diplomacy must
be relied on to end the war. To say
that the effect of this admission in
Germany was distressig is 10 put il
mildly. Won Kuehlmann is in n fair
way to be told "this way out" But
he has let the cat out of the bag and
there's the devil to pay in conse-
quence. Verify, "the evil that men dc
lives after them"

WEARING OLD CLOTHES AND
OLD SHOES.

A number of men in this town,
and perhaps in other towns as well,
are practicing economy these war
times, by hunting up their discarded
clothes, having them cleaned up and
pressed and their old shoes, and hav-
ing them repaired for wear. B. F.
Lewis, the shoemaker, says that he
did six dollars worth of mending for
one mana rich man, too, and is kept
busy, with his helper, Mr. Lee Kim
ball, and machies, repairing shoes,
that had been thrown aside.
Alex Dickinson is kept buster than
ever fixing up old clothes, making
them look like new ones. The people
are learning economy. 1t is no long
er pleasing sight now to see man
OF woman either, dikcd out in new
costly clothes and twelve dollar
high-top, pcg-heeled shoes, always
an eysore and an abomination, bui
more so now. 1t is a sin to waste. Its
foolish always, doubly wicked and
foolish now. Men and women SHOULD
be judged now as heretofore, by the
clothes they wear. That is whethe,
they are new or old clothes.- If ole

ARE YOU CONSERVING?

If so, you are never guilty of
throwing away the water in which
meat has been boiled. Instead, YOU
allow it to cool with the fat on it.
When cool the fat may be removed
and used in cooking. The water may
be used as soap stock.
If SO, you are never guilty of
throwing away small amounts of
cooked vegetables because there is
not enough for another meal. They
may be put into your Conservation
Soup Kettle, which is always ready
for such leftovers.
If so, you are never guilty of
throwing away the leftover break
fast coffee. While it is not good
warmed up for a beverage, it may
be used for mixing gingerbread or
for gelatine desserts.
If SO, you are never guilty of
throwing away the cake that "fell".
Instead, you put it in the steamer
and re-heat it.
If so, you are never guilty of
throwing away cooked corn on the
cob. The grains may be cut off with
sharp knife and used for soups,
creamed corn, fritters, or any num-
Der of delicious dishes.
If so, you are never guilty of
throwing away the water in which
rice or macaroni has been cooked.

takes his money and his products

MUCH WHEAT HARVESTED
SUNDAY.
Graham Daily News

Wheat harvesting is progressing
in Tazewell county, in spite of the
showers. Many had their forces out
all day Sunday and much grain was
put in the shock on that day. The
department of agriculture necently
let it be known that Sunday harves-
ting was approved by the depart
ment, where it seemed necessary.
The wheat crop in Tazewell county
is good, although it is claimed by
some that the meshes only contain
two grains where three had been
expected.
