WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

In view of the fact that this county
has fallen far below it's quota in the
recent War Savings Stamp drive,
there will be a public speaking at
Crossville next Saturday, September
Z, to show the people of the county
their duty and to attempt to put the
drive over.
The request that the people assemble
at the county seat on that day to hear
the speaking comes almost in the ma
ture of command and G. W. Cline.
chairman of the War Savings Stamps
Campaign, has been directed to keep a
list of those who are notified and fail
to be present and report their names
to the National War Savings Commit
tee. This matter is becoming serious
and every person who wishes to stand
fair had better be prese mt and come
with the purpose of buying War Saw
ings Stamps. Due to the lateness at
which time this notice was received,
the information that can be given to
the public is necessarily brief, but it
is none the less urgent.

WRECK AT OZONE
Several Slightly Injured, None Seriously
Engine Damaged Soma.

Saturday the west-bound passenger
train ran into the rear of freight
train at Ozone. Seven or eight per-
sons were considerably shaken up and
the passenger fireman was slightly
injured. but no one was seriously hurt.
1t seems that the freight was too
long for the siding and was standing on
the main track waiting for the east
bound passenger. The freight cen
ductor had failed to put out fiagnan
for the eastbound passenger and the
train jammed into them before they
we're expecting It. The caboose Of the
freight was completely wrecked and
the passenger engine was damaged
considerably bat went on to Hartman

Love Letters in Hymn Book

A pair Of lovers who had been for
hidden to speak or write, attended the
same church. and their plan was the
exchange of hymn books. AS the
young man was an officer of the
church he did this little job before
service. Most delightful and satisfac-
tory love letters could be pieced to-
gether by following certain lead-pencil
marks, and in order to elude even a
Sherlock Holmes of the household, the
letters were made to read from the
end to the beginning of the book.

the hens may have green feed during

GOOD LIVE STOCK PAYS.
The crisis confronting the owners
of live stock is certain to create
efficiency IN our meat production. 1t
Will not only force US to build more
silos and sow more winter pastures:
but it will compel us to breed our
sows and cows and our ewes to better
sires than we have been in the habit
Of doing.
All of this will be caused BY the con-
tInued nigh cost Of feedstuffs. Scrub
stock cannot profltably be fed high
priced feed.
On the. other hand, however, Tenn
esseeans are confronted with the fact
that meat and meat products are
bringing record prices on the markets,
which means that good live stock is
more profitable than ever before.
Ihis is aptly put as follows: 1.-THE
higher the price Of feed the more
expensive it IS to keep poor live stock.
The higher the price of human food
the more profitable it is to keep good

All these men are paying their share
of the joint payment IN blood of the

They are not seeking to profit oy the

CITES UNPARDONABLE PROFIT.
So much for the men who pay.
Now for the men who profit in mon
ey. If such profit is excessive it is
iniquitous.
But a proper money profit is abso-
lutely necessary, for no business can
be permanent without profit no more
than a working man can pei mansntly
work without wages. The unpardon-
able profit is that of the man, espec
tally the rich man, wro, having 6
preahed paciticism and unpreparedness,
now when war comes, sees brave men
face a death which paclfcism and
unpreparedness Shave made infinitely
more probable while he himself and
his sons profit by these other mems
courage and sit at home in the ease
and safety secured by the tact that
these others face death.
The worst profteers in the country
are the men and the sons of the men
who decline to face the death which
their own actions have made more
probable for others.
NONE STROVE HARDER.
Unless in exceptional cases there is
no need to discuss individuals in

two years and half before this coun-
try went to war. He rec ceived the

price people who were themselves.
Of course. efficiently playinS the pro-
German game.
He is a multimillienairs. IT any of
his kin are killed their families are
not merely guarded against poverty.
but are sure of wealth. The son of
Mr.. Ford ought to feel it absolutely
on him to go to war.
There is not in this country any
,ther man who ought to feel it more
necessary to atone with his
ife for the dreadful wrong done this
country by the preachers of pacificism
and unpreparedness during the two
,ears and a half that preceded our
into the war. Yet it is
in the press that Mr..
Ford's son has obtained exem ption

Wealthy father.

bench and not at the council
