confident that when men really are
needed in the harvest fields the town

shut up shop and go to their aid.

they can make by keeping open their
shops when nearly everyone else is

WARTIME AGRICULTURE

DR.. Seaman A. Knapp once
rendered a momentous service to
the cause of agricultural progress
by summarizing in ten brief SEN

have stood out like beacon lights

this new year begins the first new

FRIDAY. MARCH %. 1918
THE NEW BOARD

The new board of mayor and
aldermen that was indicted into
Office last week is composed of
good men. The members of the
board that retired last week we're
good men. There is no use in
contrasting the two boards as to
their personnel. The old board
did many commendable things and
doubtless left undone some things
that should have been given more
careful attention. The new board
will indeed be fortunate if it makes
no mistakes.
There is much that should be
done and it is going to take atten-
tion and work upon the part of
members to bring about best re-
suits, and we hope the present
board will take proper pride in the
town and use their efforts in bet
tering conditions along many lines.
We need more civic pride, we
need more boosting and advertis-
ing, we need more cooperation in
work for the town. The mayor
and aldermen should be leaders in
this work, especially where there
is no commercial club or other
civic organization to take on the
work. In this line of work they
are entitled to and should have the
hearty cooperation of everybody.
The new board has splendid OPP
portunities before it and we hope
it will measure up to every re-
quirement.

DAY OF PATRIOTISM

The cooperation of county
judges, chairmen of county courts,
magistrates and members of the
draft board machinery is being
sought by Governor Rye in an eff
fort to organize patriotic meetings
throughout the state on April !
at l p. m.
1t is the plan of the governor
and the State Council Of National
Defense to have such patriotic
meetings held in every county in
the state simultaneously. The aid
and cooperation of all public Of
ficials is deemed necessary in this
undertaking and all are strongly
urged to do their utmost to further
the cause of patriotism in this
manner.
A reconsecration of patriotism
is expected to come through these
meetings. The State Council of
National Defense has prepared a
special address to be delivered at
all of these meetings, and it is
hoped that every county in the
state will take part.
There should be no lack of inter
est in these meetings. This county,
needs evidence of patriotism man
ifested on every hand. The gov
eminent is in a great struggle with
a monster evil-Prussianism, and
needs the moral and financial su p
port of the entire people.
So long as there is a lack of evil
dence of patriatism, just so long
will the enemies of our country
use this fact to the hurt of our
cause. There are plenty of spies
and German sympathizers to send
the news to Germany. We hurt
our cause by criticizing our lead
ers, failing to attend public meet
ings called to consider war meas
ures, or by refusing to do what
we can in the way of sacrifice for
the cause.
We hope to see a large crowd at
this meeting and anything else will
be very Disappointing.

TO ENROLL BOYS

Before the war continues much
longer everyone is going to find
something to do, some sacrifice to
make.
A campaign was begun last Mon
day to mobilize the boy-power of
this country. 1t is expected to en-.
roll at least 100000 boys for SER
vice on the farms this summer.
Boys between the ages Of l6 and
q are eligible to membership in
the reserve.
Each state has been given a
quota, and the indications are that
in many states these quotas will
be exceeded. The drive will be
conducted in practically the same
way as the United States Public
Service Reserve in securing the
100000 shipbuilders. Directors
have been appointed in all the
states and strong state organiza-
tons are being perfected.
The public and private schools
are to be used as mobilizing GEN.

relling agents. Women's clubs are

A Carroll County Boy

DIR. |. N. Penick, who is doing
some able, practical preaching at
the Baptist church this week, was
born and reared in Carroll county.
Being a Carroll county product
and one to whom our people
can refer with pride, makes him a
very welcome visitor to our town.
His home was in the Buena Vista
community, and it was not until
sfter he had reached mature man
hood and assumed the marriage
relations that he yielded to the call
to preach. Speaking from a point
of education he had not prepared
himself for such a great undertake
ing. But approaching the situa-
tion and exercising that determine
ton and will power, which has
characterized his life and made his
work so successful, he entered
school and studied and preached
until he was equipped for his life
work.
A little church at Martin, occu-
plying a small frame building on a
beautiful site, in that since very
attractive city, called him as its
pastor. That was over twenty years
ago. The church has prospered.
1t now occupies one of the finest
church buildings in the city, and
is one of the strongest and most ac-

couple of Sundays ago, he refer
red very beautifully to bis first &C.
quaintance with the Huntingdon

and he was here in the CAPACITY of
an encouragement OF the mem
bers of the bar at that time, who
have since passed away, were Gov.

Eleven splendid lawyers and most
excellent citizens have passed over
the river in those thirty-two years.
At that time the Huntingdon bar
was one of the strongest to be
found anywhere in West Tennes-
see. Judge Swiggart was practic-
ally a young man then, with black
hair and keen eyes aud a strong
intellect. He entered upon his
duties vigorously and held his hand
we'll with the legal giants he found
at this bar. He was later made
circuit Judge, a position he held
for some time. mall his relations
with our people he acquitted him
self as a true man, and when he
quit the local bench he did so pos
sessing the high respect of every
body. Years have told on his APP
pearance some, but be is intellect
ually strong andspeaks with force.

preme things which America asks
Of the farmer in this crisis The
Ten Commandments of Wartime
Agriculture" let US call them.
We believe the ten things men
toned below indicate as briefly as
it is possible to do the main things
which America asks of the south
ern farmer:
/. That he plant a maximum
acreage in food crops.
2. That he strive for maximum
productiyeness Of every acre.
3. That he equip and inspire
every farm worker for maximum
efficiency
4. That he arrange for a maxi
mum production of meat and dairy
products.
5. That he double garden pro-
duction.
6. That all women and children
be enlisted in canning and poultry
raising.
Z. That every member of the
family aid food conservation.
s. That wise and profitable
marketing of crops be promoted
as a stimulus to increased produc-
ton,
8. That economy and thrift be
practiced and the resultant savings
lent to America.
10. That all schools, all farm
ers' organizations, all women's or
CARNATIONS, and all business mems
organizations cooperate to give
100 per cent efficiency to this pro-
gram. The Progressive Farmer.
