industrial training and work shops
for the adult blind will eventually
be established, equipped and main
tanned.
The immediate work before the
commission is the preparation of a
registry of the blind, describing
their condition, cause of blindness
and capacity for education and in
dustrial training. Upon this reg
istry or survey future work will be
based.
Another department that will
follow will be a bureau of informa-
tion and industrial aid to help the
blind find employment and develop
home industry. 1t will also be the
duty of the commission to devise
means to facilitate the circulation
of books and to promote visits
among the aged or helpless blind
in their homes.
This is work that appeals to
all the people and in which the
State should have the hearty coop
GRAFTON of the citizens and agencies
already organized. Many other
States already have such commits
sions with departments well organ
lied and workshops and schools in
actual operation. Tennessee, it is
hoped, will soon take her place
along with them.
One thing about such work is
that at this time it's Importance is
emphasized by the demands that
are foreseen on account of the war.
The members of the Tennessee
Commission are keeping this in
mind and hope to be ready for
whatever are made.

LOYALTY.

Planting big food crops is the
greatest thing that these men can
do for their flag. If they are not
willing to do it, then / have no
hesitation in saying that they are
disloyal. There are only two sides
to this question now: a man is
either for the flag or he is against
it. Ii he is for it, he is willing to
do anything in his power for his
country. If he isn't willing to do
anything in his power he might
just as well be frank about it and
come out openly on the side Of
Germany.
II the supply merchant is patri-
otto he will urge the farmer to
plant foodstuffR, even though he
himself suffers financial loss. Is
1t any great thing that we are ask
ing these men to do when we are
asking our boys to enlist in the
army and navy, possibly to be shot
up for their flag?
Every home maker should secure

GERMAN PAPER TELLS OF
HARDSHIPS OF A SOL
DIER'S FAMILY.

The Committee on Public Infor-
nation has made tho following
translation of a story appearing in
the October Is, 1917, issue of the
Leipziger Volkszeitung:
ga sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought
to our attention from Upper Ian
genau in Silesia. One of the hired
men of DR.. Mueller's agricultural
estate has been for a long time at
the front. His wife, who had
worked alongside her husband be-
fore the war after the usual custom,
remained in the ranks of the field
hands and accordingly retained
her farm cottage. October l this
woman got the following letter:
"'The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as
of this date to the field service for
January l, 1918. On that day you
are to give up your house. The
work which you are doing on the
farm does not compensate the farm
for the loss which accrues to it
through the continued support of
your family. Look out for your
self away from this farm; your
house is needed for other use.'
"The woman communicated the
notice TO her husband with these
words: II must tell you my dis
tress; soon [ shall not be able to
see the paper for my tears. What
shall | do? Winter is at the door
and the cottage is full of little
children
"Thus the bailiff of the estate of
q bloated landlord turns a family
with eight children out of doors in
midwinter while the man is at the
front. Comment takes care of it.

A BIG CHECK.

A check for $4,000, represent
ing the first installment of the
Jackson district contribution to
Army 7. M. q. A. work, has been
mailed to W. r. Cole, the State
treasurer, by William Holland, the
district treasurer, of Jackson. The
Jackson district, composed of IL
counties, had quota of $4,000.
The first installment was 5000 in
excess of the quota and, we learn,
there is still more than $4,000
pledged, represented by deferred
payments. Carroll County took
the lead, her citizens pledging
more than double her allotment of
$4,000. Benton County is still a
little shy of putting up her $500.
Holladay helped it along last week,
and we want to thank our friend,
Robert Shultz, for his work.

A Word From the President.

The best way in which to impart
the greatest efficiency and energy
to the relief work which this war
will entail will be to concentrate it
in the hands of 6 single experience
ed organization which has been
recognized by law and by interna-
tional convention as the public
instrumentality for such purposes.
Indeed, such a contribution Of
administrative action in this mat
ter seems to me absolutely neces-
sary, and / hereby earnestly call
upon all those who can contribute
either great sums or small to the
alleviation of the suffering aud the
distress which must inevitably
arise out of this fight for humanity
and democracy to contribute to the
Red Cross.
