nessee Farmers are planning to make
their farmers institute meeting here
on the experiment station farm, Sep
tember 8, 4, and 5, a gathering in the

exceptionally strong one, and suits
every county in West Tennessee. DR..

SECRETARY McADOO 81
ON WAR TAXES.

The Ways and Means committee Of
the lower house of congress is now con
sidering revenue legislation. Secreta-
ry McAdoo favors fiat war-profits
tax of 80 per cent. In a telegram to
chairman Kitchin he says.
1T is my strong conviction that the
taxation of genuine war profits is the
only way to reach real war profiteer-
ing, and that it is at the same time a
thoroughly justifable measure upon
economic grounds as well as certain
and indispensable producer of large
part of the present revenue.
"The patriotic producers of America
should be content if one-fifth of their
war profits are secured to them, uspe-
cially when we reflect that the men
who are fighting and dying in France
to save the liberties of those who stay
at home, and who make it possible for
them to continue in business are lin
tied by act of congress to 1896 peryear
for their services and have to give
their blood in the bargain"

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzche was one
OF the most noted of modern German
philosophers. How much has his phi
losophy affected the views and charac-
ter of the Germans of today? Is not
the answer written in the blood of the
women and children, the old men Of
occupied France and Belgium? Are
not the Lusitania victims witnesses to
German adoption of Neitzche's faith
Here is his indictment of Christian
ity:
with this I conclude and pronounce
my sentence: condemn Christianity,
To me it is the greatest of all imagin-
airy corruptions. The church is the
great parasite; with its anemic ideas
Of holiness, its love, and its hope. The
ether world is the motive for the de-
NAL of every reality. l call Christian
ity the one great curse, the one great
intrinsic depravity, the one great in
stinct of revenge, for which no expedi-
ent is sufficiently poisonous, secret, UNI
derhand, to gain its ends. / call it the
enc immortal shame and blemish upon
the human race"

STRANGE BREADS
OF OTHER LANDS

Recent dispatches from Germany
have referred to bread made of beech.
nuts and acorns. This serves to recall
that in earliest days both of these were
put to the same usage, says the Media
tor. Acorns are still made into bread
by certain Indian tribes, and in colon
ial times acorn meal was common
among the natives. It is said that
after being boiled several times the
acorns lose their bitter taste, becom-
ing sweet and wholesome.
Almost everything that grows has
been called upon to make bread for
man. In remote ages the Egyptians
of the Nile valley prepared bread from
the seed of lotus flowers. These flow
ers grew abundantly in the mud of the
river bottom, and when the annual
overflow receded there was harvest
of Lotus flowers, just as the harvest
of wheat today.
Early records of the north European
peoples, particularly in scandinavia,
shows that the poor subsisted partly
on bread made of nothing more sub
stantial than ground moss. But this
had such slight nutritive value that it
was almost worthless as food. The
Germans are eating potato flour bread,
also familiar makeshift Of otherdays.
When the ground potatoes are mixed
with rye or wheat bread it is not I'M
palatable.
The Italians are adding to scant war
rations with chestnut bread. The
chestnuts of Italy and Spain are much
larger than those of America and chest
nut bread is familiar article of diet
in both lands. We also hear much of
banana flour, which is used to some
degree in South America. Numerous
attempts have been made to introduce
it into this country, and it is now being
manufactured commercially. If we
may believe those who profess to know
banana -four is both nourishing and
palatable.
The Mexicans and South Americans
grind peas and beans into a meal,
which is then made into little cakes
and fried. All kinds of cereals are
eaten as bread the world over, millet
being one of the most popular in the
east. Should the war continue for a
number of years, it is just possible
that he American people may be COM
PEELED to make the acquaintance of
other breadstuffs than those to which
they are accustomed.

FOOLED AGAIN

Said the kaiser to his men, go and
wade in gore again, at this pinch; for
the French, we've bled them white,
and Americans won't fght-it's a
cinch. You have heard those Yankee
chaps are just suffering for scraps
with the Teut am Wilhelm, always
right, and ! say they will not fight,
worth boot. There is but handful
dear, bet your boots; just handful
has been brought here to schap with
me und Colt, and my Teuts. They are
moneygrubbing gents; they can't fight
worth fifteen cents, take my word; do
not fear that bunch of jays, with their
awkward backwoods ways-it's absurd
| will stand upon this hill, /, your kali
ser, Unser Bill, on its brow; and I'll
watch your Aighty ranks going thru
the yielding NNnks, like pillow. Here
! take my kingly stand with my scep-
ter in my hand--go ahead l will keep
you in my view while the crimson
fields you strew, with your dead"
Then the kaiser from his hill saw the
mighty legions drill to the fray; and
he saw the Yankees come, to the stir
ring beat of drum, making hay. And
he saw his soldiers chased, punished,
ratified and disgraced, shot and spiked;
oh, they struck their hardest trots, hit
ting but the highest spots, as they
liked. Who can tell the kaiser's woe,
as he watched the scene below, red and
wet? But the Yankees, full of vim,
didn't make a hit with him, we may
bet.-(Copyrighted, 1918, by Geo.

HOW ONE BOY is DOING HIS BIT

A small Johnson county boy has a
goat and cart. Each morning he har-
nesses the goat to the cart, loads in
the milk that is not needed for his
brothers and sisters, and starts for the
cheese factory nearly mile away.
There he turns the milk over to the
cheese maker who weighs it and gives
him credit for the correct amount.
being business boy he seldom stays
long at the factory, but drives around
tc the whey barrel where the goat is
taught to stand until the can is filled
with whey. The whey is used to feed
pigs.
Last year this boy hauled nearly
SIS worth of milk to the factory in five
months and he had the milk from only
one cow. This year he has three cows.
The milk this boy hauled last year
made cheese equivalent in food value
to the beef in the ration of soldier
for one year.

TRANSPORTING OUR TROOPS.

The world has been astonished at the
great number of American soldiers
transported to Europe in the last half
year. The number now approximates
100000, and the loss of life in trans
porting them has been almost infnites-
imal.
The success with which We have
moved our troops from the scattered
camps in this country and across 1900
miles of ocean to the battle front is
great evidence of American efficiency.
We have not only surprised our enc
mics; we have surprised our friends
and ourselves.
The British controller of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this
movement across the sea as "a trans
port miracle" We have been inclined
to attribute this achievement solely to
cur navy and our shipping, but the
British controller speaks in high praise
Of the share the American railroads
had in the work. He says:
eff the American railroads had not
been operated with success the whole
transport movement might have failed,
bcause it was essential to quick trans
portation that the troops should be
ready for the ships"
Director General McAdoo seems JUS
titled in his statement that while the
development Of the policy of the rail-
road administration requires time,
progress has been made toward that
goal.

RED CROSS NOTES

In spite of the intense heat Of the
Fast week, ladies have been busy IN the
surgical dressings room.
We urge others to come and help
in this as well as the sewing depart
ment. These supplies will now be
needed for our own soldiers, who will
soon take actual part on the battle
line. This is a call to which no true
Red Cross member can shut his or her
ear. Scarcely one in a thousand has
the faintest conception Of the CHASTITY
horrors taking place "over there" at
this very moment. Our sons, fathers,
brothers, friends, are there-and hav-
ing sent them, how can we desert
them?
The ladies wish to thank Messrs. d.
v. Bond and ]. W. McCleish for their
kindness in putting together the ship
Ping boxes. These boxes, as packed
by the ladies in our rooms, are shipped
directly to France from headquarters.
Some ladies who were at the station
enc night last week to see friends off
on the Canno Ball, relate the follow
ing: -Four soldier boys, one a marine
and three aviators, got off the train
and asked for food. These boys came
from camps in Arkansas, and had
nothing to eat all day, said the connec-
ton in Memphis was so close they
could get nothing. They got off here
thinking of course they could find
something to eat, but as they did not,
they had to wait until morning.
I'm all the welter and confusion of
wars and rumors of war, runs one
deep low tone of harmony. Beneath
the painful discord is one healing
tone, broad unifying diapason. 1t is
the Red Cross. Among our strident
humanities, this is the one thing hu-
man. In angry pride We may quarrel,
strive, envy, contend, wound and STAY,
but in gesture of mercy we all, |
friend and foe, suddenly fuse and
blend. One touch of mercy makes the |
whole world kin. The Red Cross is |
the inarticulate protest of humanity |
against the doings of nations. 1t is
the assurance of the Christ that He
has not wholly abandoned His world. |
The Red Cross does not strive to cry,
neither shall you hear its voice in the
streets. 1t is the bruised reed which |
shall not break, and the smoking flax
that shall not quench until judgment
te sent forth to victory"
Frances premier, George Clemen-
ceau, says: France will never be able
to express to America what the COM
ing of the American Red Cross has
meant to her. The Red Cross has el-
ready accomplished a most admirable
errand of mercy in dressing the wounds
OF the soldiers and sailors.
"You Americans have not come over
help with the intention of claiming
credit, but in an unselfsh spirit, with
out asking for anything except per-
mission to help. The work you are
doing has brought you very close to
our wounded men, to the sick and des-
tltute people of France, as well as tot.
our little children" "a
go league Of kindness, woven in all
lands,
You bring loves tender mercies in
your hands;
Above all flags, you lift the conquering
sign,
And hold invincible Loves battle line."

GIFTS OF THE DEAD.

Ye who in Sorrows tent abide,
Mourning your dead with hidden
tears,
Bethink you what wealth Of pride
They've won you for the coming
lyears.
Grieyous the pain; but, in the day
When all the cost is counted Ger,
Would it be best that We should say:
We've lost no loved ones in the
war;"
Who knows? But proud then shall
We stand
That best, most honered boast to
make:
My lover died for his dear land"
Or my son fell for England's sake"
Christlike they died that we might
live;
And our redeemed lives would we
bring,
With aught that gratitude may give
To serve you in your sorrowing.
And never pathway shall We tread,
No foot of seashore, hill or lea,
But We may think: "The dead, my dead
Gave this sacred gift, to me-"

Spectator.
