Homes

OUR returning soldiers and sailors, used to
~ life in the open air and to rigid, Army
sanitary Standards will not be content with
cramped or unhygienic homes.
These men will insist on spacious rooms,
with plenty of air and light, wide verandas,
roomy sleeping porches and sun parlors, and
modern bathing and sanitary facilities.
Houses that do not meet the above require
ments will have to be remodeled ShackS
and tenements must go.
Many thousands of new, sanitary dwell
ings are imperatively needed.
Now that Federal building restrictions
have been removed, there will be most
unusual demand for all kinds of building
material.
The sooner you begin the better, for
while we have good stock OF lumber
hand there will be a great need for
lumber.

Autos To Be Used
In Loan Campaign.

In connection with the request of
the Fuel Administration that the
use of automobiles be discontinued
on Sundays until further notice,
there comes from Washington au-
thority to use all autos necessary
on Sundays during the FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN, COW
ering the time from September 18th
until October 10Th, inclusive. and
all auto owners so using their ma
chimes during that time on Sundays,
are requested to plainly placard
them with the words "LIBER TY

and question. 1t is hoped that
Liberty Loan workers will not abuse
this privilege and that all will assist
in seeing that the people generally
are informed Of this ruling.

Plan Drive To
Exterminate Rats.

Nashville, Sept. 20-The impor.
lance of rat determination over the
country has been brought forcefully
to the attention of the state coun.
Gil of national defense, in requests
sent out from Washington that
campaigns with this object in view
should be launched by every com.
munity in the state.
Rats and mice consume annually
food that it takes 100000 men to
produce, at the same time they in
crease fire risks and menace health.
The loss in dollars and cents has
been estimated by the Biological
Survey at $2C0000,0OO annually.
These rat determination cam
paigns have the Endorsement of
Herbert Hoover who says 1T is
an undertaking thoroughly in line
with the constantly needed work of
food conservation"
Bringing the matter to the point
Of effect on war work Of the gov
eminent, the elimination of food
for 10000 additional fighting men
would be available by Kidding the
country ofrats and mice, this on
the basis of five supporting men to
each man in the trenches.
Major Rutledge Smith, chairman
of the state council, says the killing
of rats, mice and the making of
buildings where grain and food are
stored rat-proof, is a form of war
work that should commend itself to
all thinking people in the state, and
he hopes to see whole communities
line up on this rat-killing campaign.

We need it there to run ambulan-

den sickness or death, and no other
means of travel could unemployed,
Doctors can use their cars to see

1t is my duty to call upon the
Sheriff of the county with all his

The above named officials, togeth-

How Germany Rules
Conquered Countries


Copies of the Journal de Geneva
received at Washington shows just
what sort of a peace the Germans
enforce on a conquered people when
they feel able to dictate to the con-
quored.
By cable from London and from
the Geneva newspaper just men
toned it appeared that among other
terms forced by the Huns upon the
Rumanians, the whole male popula-
ton from age ID to age go is SUBJ
ject to forced labor at the will of
the Prussians. Under this decree
Rumanian farmers have been re-
quired to work at long distances
from their homes and for the sole
benefit of the invader.
Officials here point out that
America could expect no better
peace terms from the Huns in case
the fortunes of war should turn
against this country and the Ger
mans should dictate how we should
make peace and manage our affairs.
1t would mean that a farmer in
Missouri might be required to leave
his family and farm to get along as
best they could while he was put on
train with thousands Of others
and taken to the passes of the Ale
ghanies to build Notifications for
the Huns against any possible re-
bellion of Americans against their
conquerors.
The same tactics have been fol-
lowed in Belgium, in Serbia, in Po-
land and in the Ukraine Of Russia,
wherever the Germans have made
themselves the masters. Rumanian
elections have been dictated at bay
onet points and the people are not
permitted to pass from one part of
the country to another without spec
ial permits that are very hard to
obtain.
1t is this known history and these
known traits of the German charac-
ter that make the most telling
for subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty Loan, 1t is only by
subscribing the full loan that we
are able to maintain armies and
keep up the fight and it is only by
creating an army to smash the Hun
forever that we can absolutely as
sure ourselves that this country will
not undergo the fate of Belgium or
Rumania or North France.
If there were enough "slackers"
among the people of this country it
would only be question of time
until we were in the same condi-
ton as Rumania. The world opin-
ion is firm that Germany had set
out to make itself master of the
world.

DO XO Want To
Win This WARP

If you do not want to win, you
must then want to become a Ger
man slave, for Peace without Vic
tory means Slavery. Picture your.
self as the Belgians are today, I'M
derneath the yoke Of a brutal Ger
man master. Picture your wife,
or mother, brother or sister working
in a hell-hOle of a German munition
factory, virtually slaves making
shells with which to kill you. Pic
ture the Crown Prince sitting in
Washington as the ruler Of the
United States. Picture the name
"Neue Berlin instead Of New York.
These things will surely happen if
Germans wins this war.
The WINNING OF THE WAR"
rests with you-you personally. 1t
is no longer question of fighting
ability-our boys on the Western
front have proven that. If you can
keep them supplied with more
shells and high explosives than the
German worker can, the road to
Berlin will be easy. 1t takes work
real work, to build high explosive
plants. Building one Of these plants
is your job in this war. So come on
boys work to back up our Glorious
Boys OVER THERE, who as fighters
are vastly superior to the Germans.
Do your bit and help them drive
the Kaiser to where he belongs.
Don't let a dam Hun be better,
bravier, fighting worker than you
IT IS UP TO YOU.
