Sheriff End Family Enjoy Dinner.
Sheriff and Mrs. Walter Griffin and
daughter, Miss Annie Margaret, were
entertained at real good old fash
Toned country dinner Thursday BY
their mother, Mrs. J. H. Griffin at
Williameport. Sheriff Griffin as re-
suit of the square meal is rather lazy
today. The man who has ever lived
on a farm can realize just whit is
meant by good old fashioned din
ner. Turkey steamine bot with juicy
rich gravy, boiled ham that can be
scented by hungry man for a mile
away, lig fat biscuits, CT kes three or
four stories high with "fillin' an ZACH
thick, hot steamng coffee, strong
enough to almost have a kick. Gen-
tle-men, but it makes a town feloa s
mouth water and his stomach long

HUNS AND KAISER
GOV. RYE CALLS ON PEOPLE TO
RALLY FOR GREATER PRoDUc.
TON OF SWINE IN STATE,
FIR DAY, JAN U AIRY II
Each County Has Been Asked to In
crease Pork Production IS Per Cent
Opportunity for Farmers and
Business Men to Help.

To win the war against the Huns
more hogs are needed. This, in sub
stance, is the theme of a proclamation
issued today by Governor Tom G. Rye
calling the people of Tennessee to
rally at the court houses of their re-
spective counties for the purpose of
making plans for increased pork pro.
duction.
The proclamation follows:
To the People of Tennessee:
In order to win this war, to save
civilization from the wreck which
Prussian autocracy would make of it,
there must be an increase during the
year in the food production of this
Nation. Tennessee has been asked to
increase its pork production by at
least fifteen per cent. Pork is vital
necessity of the war. The present
supply will be inadequate to the needs
of the Nation and its associates who
are fighting to save liberty and civil
ization.
Under the direction of the United
States Food Administration Friday
January 18th, next, has been desig-
mated as Hog Rally Day" upon which
occasion the people are urged to meet
at their respective court houses and
take such steps as will be necessary
to meet the demands of our govern
ment.
Recognizing the. Importance of this
movement, approaching fully the
need for increased pork production as
a vital measure of National Defense !
therefore call upon the farmers, the
business men, the bankers and all
patriotic citizens to assemble at their
respective county seats on Friday,
January II, 1918, Hog Rally Day."
and pledge their united efforts to in
crease the pork production of their
counties by not less than the desired
fifteen per cent. | especially appeal
to the bankers and business men of
the cities and towns to do everything
within their power to stimulate and
encourage this movement, to lend
credit to those needing it, to purchase
brood sows, to assist in the organiza-
ton of boys and girls pig clubs by
offering premiums to stimulate the
members thereof and in every other
way possible.
Our Nation is at war Every citizen
of the Republic and of Tennessee is
at war. Our duties and obligations
are great but the opportunities for
service: service for the Nation, for
Human Freedom and for Civilization
have never been so great Let us
measure up these opportunities for
service and resolve now to do every
thing that we can to meet them.

WOMEN WANT TO KNOW
How to Make the Most of the House
hold Food Supply,

In these strenuous times of high prices
and regulated food consumption, the
earnest housewife welcomes any source
of practical suggestion that will enable
her to cope with the grave problem of
keeping the cost of the food supply of her
home within the limits that income and
circumstances will permit. To do this.
she realizes that everything to this end
must be made to count for all it is worth
or there will be deficit, instead of an
easy balance that makes for peace of
mind Every woman does not know all
the secrets of economical cooking, al
though most women can, more or less,
manage to produce good meal out of a
good food supply. This fact being grant
ed, however, does not prevent leftover
portions of food from each meal becom-
ing waste, if not Immediately converted
to the useful purpose for which they
were intended. This is what every woman
would prevent, if she could, and to make
it possible for every housewife to do this,
a special cook book has been compiled
by experts which leaves nothing untold
in this direction. This valuable volume.
called 1.-The Cook Book of Left Overs -
is to be obtained at The Reformer, while
they last, for one coupon clipped from
any edition of the paper, and as cents.
Every bit of food saved from waste helps
to win the war, and leave more for our
boys at the front. therefore, the woman
who desires the best for her home, and
Canada, should get one of these War Cook
Books and apply it in the cause of great
er food conservation.

THE MAP OF EUROPE.

The old maps of Europe will be of
about as much use as waste paper after
the war and its final adjustments Ex-
cept as mementos of days that are
gone, serving to refresh the memory of
what used to be, they will be nothing
but mere scraps of paper. One would
seem quite safe in predicting that
here will be changes in territorial
boundaries that some national unities
viii be established which do not now
exist, the loss of provinces by one ma
lion and their accession by another, but
wiseacres are rash in risKing their rep
utations by declaring just what is
going to happen. No statesman, how
ever farseeing he may be, however high
in place of authority, can predetermine
the course future decisions will take.
There are multitudinous elements of
discord with any principle of unity,
which may be fixed upon as the guild
ing principle for the settlements of
peace. The mind of President Wilson,
Of Lloyd George of Great Britain of
Clemenceau of France may be preoc-
cupied with a certain conception which
is fixed and immovable, but when they
sat down to arrange the particulars of
Europe, would they each draw the map
of Europe alike?
The question of the precise arrange
meHt of these particulars need not be
made a subject for anxious thought at
the present time. The time for working
out the puzzling problem has not ar
rived, so far as the statemanship of
the countries in alliance against Ger
many is concerned. Germany alone
has a principle of unity which is easily
applied, presenting no difficulties at all
in resolving all the discords of Europe
into harmony that would be pleasing
to Germany if no other The kaiser
has it in his mind, and if he should
get his way, of which there is very lit
tie possibility in view of the present
circumstances, he would simply draw
a map of Europe with Germany writ
ten large all over it.
The war in Europe came upon the
present generation of men The mind
can grasp only the immediate why's and
wherefores. If it tries to trace cause
and effect to the ultimate, to establish
a causal connection between all hu.
man events of which there is any re-
corded history, it loses itself in be
