RHODES DIED DISSATISFIED.
His Last Words Were, $50 Little Done,
So Much to Do"

80 little done, so much to do"
This was the sigh Of Cecil Rhodes,
rene of the greatest men the world ever
knew. John Hays Hammond, who
knew him well, tells about Rhodes ia
the American Magazine. He says:
"The achievements Of Rhodes are al
most unthinkable. Long before Amer
lean trusts were attempted he formed
what was then the greatest business
combination in history and became alb
solute autocrat Of the diamond bust
ness Of the whole world. He organized
q huge consolidation Of gold compa
MES. He was the first financier coura-
geous enough to institute deep level
mining on the Rand, the method on
which now depends the future of the
greatest Of all gold fields.
mo Roman emperor ever won more
territory than Rhodes brought under
his native British flag. Through the
chartered company, Incorporated in
1889, he added to the British colonial
dominions territory equal to the COM
bined afeas,of the British isles, Frances
Prussia, Austria and Spain. He made
possible the federation Of all South At
rican states and planned to link Cape
Colony and Cairo by rail, project that
be carried halfway to fruition before
he was cut off by death when he was
only forty-nine years old.
"Yet with this record of empire build
ing behind him his last words as he lay
dying were these:
So little done, SO much to do"

Cut Down Labor Hire

Do more work in the the winter;
all harness and machinery should be
repaired for spring and summer use.
Repair old buildings and construct
new ones before the spring rush be-
gins.
Plan ahead. By so doing a farmer
can often do with at least one hired
man less.
Neighbors may work together to
make up crew. 1t is often possible
by rotation from one farm to another
for the operators to perform all work
with very little or no hired help.
Retired farmers should get back
on the old farm, or some other farm,
and drive team, or do something to
help with the farming operations.
Stimulate the workmen's desire to
do more work each day by treating
them well, paying fair wages, provid-
ing good houses. and paying extra for
overtime.
Organize all difficult work SO that
the fullest use of every man and team
will be secured.
Stick to the staple crops adapted to
your locality.
Buy new labor-saving machinery
such as binders, larger cultivators,
and tractors.

100000 SMITHS" HAVE
WAR-RISK INSURANCE

There are more than 100 900

allowance files of the bureau Of War
Risk Insurance of the Treasury de-
partment-1,040 John Smiths, 200
John A. Smiths, 1860 William Smiths
and 200 William H. Smiths. It takes
ITO card index trays and a good
sized squad Of filing experts to keep
track of all the enlisted men in the
fighting forces Of our country who
answer to the name Of "Smith."
There are MORE than 100000
cards in the allotment and allowance
files of the bureau on war-risk in
surance, and because of the great
repetition of certain names, Secretary
McAdoo has asked all soldiers and
sailors to give their full names, not
initials, in applications and in cores
pondence, and to write all names in
clear, legible hand, printing them
out rather than using script.
There are 262 John ]. O'Briens
in the files. and in so cases the wife's
name is "Mary." There are $4,000
Millers and $4,000 Wilson's on file
in the bureau. There are 1000 John
Browns and 1900 John Johnsons.
1t is not enough to say George
Miller" for there are 1,040 of these,
nor is it enough to say George j.
Miller" for this is not unique. The
full name and the complete postoffice
address are necessary to Identify
the man.
The honor of holding first place in
the alphabetical card catalogue sys-
tenn goes to Clayton Aloysius Aab,
second-class seaman, now somewhere
on the high seas on an American bat
tleship. He is closely pressed, how

HONoRs GOV. BOB TAYLOR

Senator Robert Love Taylor has
been dead more than six years, and
while no granite marker is necessary
to keep his name and memory fresh
with the citizens of the Volunteer
State, he has "builded his own mon
ument forever in the hearts OF his
people," an appropriate and impos-
ing spire has just been erected by his
widow at the head of the little mound
at Old Gray Cemetery, Knoxville,
which contains all that is mortal of
Tennessee's apostle Of sunshine. The
monument, which is constructed OF
South Carolina granite, is four feet
and 10 inches square at base, and
stands 20 feet and five inches in
height. On one side, facing the
grave, are the words. Robert Love
Talyor, Julv 81, 1850-March 81,
1912" Lower down is the word,
"Taylor." while another side bears
a quotation from one Of his lectures.
The grave is by the side Of that OF
tile late senator's first wife, Sara L.
Baird Taylor. Plain and simple
though it is, the monument erected
IA the memory Of Tennessee's most
popular citizen for 80 continuous
Years is imposing, and being situated
on a high point in the cemetery, can
Be seen for some distance around IN
every direction.
The monument was constructed az
the direction of Mrs. Robert L. lay
Tor. widow and third wife OF the late
senator, whose home is at Bristol
The monument bears this inscription,
the quotation being taken from one
Of the senator's lectures:
II would rather be the humblest
among those who have given hope TO
the hopeless and happiness to the dis
tressed Of my race than to live IN the
history as a conqueror with my hands
stained with innocent blood would
rather have my name written among
those who have loved their fellow
man than to wear the laurels that en-
circle the brow Of the Iron Prince;
/ would rather sleep in some quiet
churchyard, unknown and unremem-
bered save by those in whose hearts
/ have scattered seeds Of kindness
and upon whose lips have conjured
smiles of joy than to be confined IN
4 sarcophagus Of gold, with desolate
domes my monument, and widows
and orphans as living witnesses Of
NV glory. Commercial Appeal

LIBERTY LOANS AND
THE SAVINGS BANKS

The effect of the Liberty loans and
the war savings stamps on savings
banks deposits has been watched with
keen interest by economists and fl
nanciers. The experience of England
was very encouraging; in the year
1916 the English small depositors pur-
chased billions Of dollars Of war bonds
and at the same time increased their
deposits in savings banks over
$50, 100000.
The belief is entertained that the
result in America has been very SINH
lar to that of England, and that de-
spite the purchase by the American
people of some $10,000,000,000 of
Liberty bonds and S500,000,000 Of
war savings stamps. very fair pro-
portion Of which were purchased by
savings bank depositors, savings
banks deposits have increased.
Full reports have been received
from the savings banks in New York
state. They show a decrease in de-
posts for the last year of only 49,
but an increase of q, 252 de-
positors. The loss in deposits is insig-
nificant; the increase in the number
Of depositors is very significant. With
increased cost Of living and other
war conditions. the decrease in depos-
its might well be expected; the in
crease Of depositors shows that the
saving habit is greatly growing in
our country,

WHY GROW A WINTER
COVER CROP?
A winter cover crop saves the Ia

A winter cover crop saves the land
by stopping erosion.
The cover crop saves food by pre-
venting teaching. 1t is estimated that
southern soils have lost probably ten
times as much BY washing and leach
ing as in the removal Of plant food
through crops.
On the stock farm the cover crops
save hay by affording grazing for
the colts, calves, sheep and even the
larger stock. Farmers with plenty
of green crops never feed their sheep
any hay except when the ground is
covered with snow, and feed much
less to all other stock than average.
The cover crop saves grain. A
crimson clover pasture will take the
place Of half or more Of the corn nee
essary to carry herd Of hogs
through the winter, and will prac-
tically eliminate the need Of grain
for sheep and calves except in the
worst weather,
It saves the fertilizer bill when a
legume is used. A crop Of crimson
clover, bur clover, sweet clover,
red clover or vetch plowed under in
the spring is worth more to an acre
of land than ton of average COM
plete fertilizer. A legume crop turn
ed under paves the way for a bump
er crop by the use of only two or
three dollars worth of acid phos-
phate.-L. r. Neel in Southern Agri-
culturist.

What Farmers Are Asked to Do

Vh"N a hiSAs are ASKED TO DO
The situation demands of the farm.
ers Of the country four things in par
ticular in reference to production:
/. To maintain and strengthen good
methods of farming. This is to as
sure as large or larger production
next year and in later years as may
be required.
2. To produce as much Of the food
and feed needed in the locality where
it is to be used. This is to relieve
transportation.
3. To produce a surplus of export
able grains. This is for the benefit
of the allies.
4. To avoid producing more of per-
ishable products than can be cared
for. This is to prevent unnecessary
losses.

Sow Wheat from Good Fields

Undoubtedly the wheat crop in Ten
|nessee has been seriously damaged
by scab. 1t is impossible to deter
mine the extent of the injury. This
disease has been observed in the
state for a number of years. The
damage is more severe in some sea-
sons that others, due to weather con-
ditions.
There is no known method Of con-
troll Of scab, except to obtain clean
seed so far as possible.
Farmers should sow wheat from
fields which produced the highest
yields. It is reasonable to assume
that fields which produced high yields
were not seriously affected. The
farmers Of each community know
what fields produced the highest
yields, and should secure seed from
those fields.
It is possible that weather condi-
tions next season will not be favor
able to the disease. and that damage
will be light; but it is considered
worth while to take the precautton
of sowing clean seed as far as pos
sible.
