CUT DOWN PLEASURE
RIDING ON WEEKDAYS
Fuel Administrator W. E. Myer Makes
Patriotic Appeal to Citizens of State
to Conserve Gasoline.

Nashville, Sept. 3O.-Federal Fuel
Administrator, W. E. Myer, today is
sued an appeal to the patriotic citi-
zens of Tennessee to refrain from pleas
ure riding in automobiles on weekdays
as far as possible in order that gaso-
line might be conserved for use of our
boys over there.
much just complaint has come to
me-" he says, "from every part of the
state in regard to excessive use of
autos for pleasure on weekdays. The
following from one of the most level
headed, patriotic men in the stote, is a
sample:
THE following persons burn more
gasoline needlessly during the week
than they could save on many Sun
days--------------
They start out early Monday
morning and run till late Saturday
night, and they don't do anything but
burn gasoline-and believe me they
burn it.
"'0f course there are others who
ride some for pleasure during the
week, but the foregoing mostly, not all
women and young girls, swerve and
drive and dip aimlessly along the
streets in their cars the whole week
through. The consequence is that on
Sunday they sleep after their weeks
ride"
Many of our people burn an excess
sive amount of gasoline on pleasure
during the week without thinking what
it means to our boys in France" con-
tinues the appeal. "The nation is now
short on gasoline for carrying NUM-
tons and food to our brave boys bat
ting and dying over there.
During the weekdays l, therefore,
urge our people to use their cars in
essential trips, and when in doubt,
don't use them.
Before you start, stop and consid-
er. The gasoline you burn on a pleas
ure trip may mean the death of some
boy on the battle front.
LET S be worthy of the men over
there. W. E. MYER,
U. S. Fuel Admir-, Tenn.

ASK OBSERVANCE OF
SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS
Council of Defense, Fuel and Food AID.
Illustrations Urge This as C0nser-
walton Measure.
T WI EVIIs
ROY KINNEY.

As a conservation measure for the
saving of man-power, fuel and food,
the people of Tennessee are urged to
rigidly observe all Sunday closing
laws which may be upon the statutes
of the state or several municipalities.
This apepal is signed by Major Rut-
ledge Smith, chairman of the council
of defense; w. E. Myer, U. S. fuel
administrator of the state, and DR.. H.
A. Morgan, U. S. Food administrator
for Tennessee
without committing our organiza-
tons to the wisdom or necessity for
such laws in time of peace" says the
appeal, 1--WE do believe that the rigid
enforcement of all Sunday closing laws
NOW will materially contribute to the
success of the nations war program
'In some sections Sunday closing
laws have been rather indifferently OBJ
served, while others have almost been
forgotten. This appeal is for a real
Sunday closing with conservation the
object"

RED CROSS NOTES

Don't forget that the campaign for
clothing for the relief of the people
of Belgium continues through Monday
of next week. You still have several
days in which to send your contribu-
tion-or if not convenient for you to
send it, just call the Red Cross Head
quarters and we shall be glad to send
for it. We have done this in many
cases and shall be glad to send to
your home for whatever you may have
to give. Let every home in Haywood
county have a part in this work. Don't
wait for a committee to call on you.
Perhaps you were out when the COM
mittee called. Just consider this di-
rect personal call to you, to come to
the relief of the Belgian people. If
you have not done so before, look over
your clothing supply and see what
you can spare in the way of out
grown or worn out garments for men,
women or children. Every household
has something it can spare which will
be of great benefit to these suffering
people.
Everybody who had lunch at the Red
Cross booth at the fair last fall will
be glad to know that they will serve
lunch again this year every day Of the
Haywood County Fair. Be sure to
hunt up the Red Cross there. You will
not only be glad because you have been
well served, but you will have the sat
isfaetion of having helped work that
is ministering to "our boys"
Are you reading the posters that
the publicity committee of the Red
Cross is issuing? You will see them
throughout the county, new ones ap-
pearing every week. They give a good
insight into the workings of the
American Red Cross.
We are grateful to Everett Bond for
posting them in Brownsville this
month.

Dear Mother-How is everyone at

are all well and feeling as good and in
as good spirits as / am. If you are
then you are perfectly all right. Just
came back from the village ! had din
ner up there today. / had good one.
We just got paid. l bought me a
French book with English translations
and am learning it, every now and then
| go out and find me some Frenchman
to try out what have learned on him.
1t is lots of fun. 1t has been right
hot here. About as not as it ever
gets at home and it is very dry here,
too. | have heard that it don't get
cold enough here to snow in winter.
As for the war, you know more about
it than do. For while we didn't
even get paper, but now we get one
every day.
Guess papa and the others are about
fishing now; they always go ahsst this
.--t;=ss. Certainly wish I were there to
go with them, but never mind, will be
some day, and look out, fish, next time
start after them, for have some
new ideas.
There are lot of things that are
noticeable, like all the chickens are
black (all the human chickens black.

cattle are Jersey colorod, but of hea-

see a grape vine with blooms, all sizes
and ripe grapes on the same vine
The same is true of the fig bushes.
This is a great country for fruit
AS a whole, Frame is a good ountry
and the people are exceptionally nice
to us. Think like France better than
do England. Another funny thing
is that you can buy some American
made articles cheaper in Europe than
you could back in the states.

Our nation is doing great things

must do great things in the home lines.
Wheat gives every farmer an oppor-

There is great reason for growing

Grow wheat on your farm. Make

SOME PEOPLE STILL
WASTING FOOD

To preach food conservation in sea-
SON and out of season is everybody's
duty now, and we must see that all
classes are reached Here is one illus
tration, one of hundreds that might be
given: II have just been round in the
back yard of tenant whose house |
am having painted" a friend told us
today "and there thrown away in a
slop barrel were four big pieces Of
fresh flour bread-more bread than my
family of four consumed for break
fast. There was utterly no excuse for
thsQEing this bread away except that
,it gotten cold, when the fact is
LA lIiszys made much mort whole
81 Band healthful bread than 1t orig
inally was when eaten hot" And an
other friend told US of similar incl
dent this week. He said that while his
family of five, using wheat literally in
the days before the present war, found
twenty-five bushels of wheat lasting
thenlla year, tenant family Of five
in the same period, made way with one
bundled bushels almost before the
year was out.
Every four years our people pro-
duce hs much as they have saved in
$50 years" says Prof. E. G. Branson;
and we must all be candid enough to
confess that just such lack of thrift
as the foregoing Incidents illustrate
accounts for too much of our poverty.
1t is to be hoped that the war will get
US to the point where we will recog-
nize the wisdom of teaching thrift in
the schools not only through war saw
ings societies but by more direct meth
eds. Through simple but well planned
courses in domestic science, girls
should be taught to cook economically
and how to use leftover dishes; and
cur arithmetic problems might be SO
formed as to teach our boys both thrift
and good farming.-The Progressive
Farmer.
