WAR SAVING STAMPS
The Sale Has LuIIed on Account
Of Other Interests

On account Of the great efforts
made TO bring the third Liberty
loon and the Red Cross drives over
the top the attention of the peo-
pie have been taken off Of the war
savings and thrift stamps and TO-
cused on these government demands.
The work of these drives has
been accomplished, and accomp-
lished we'll and the attention of
the public will now be called to
war savings. Carroll county has
purch ased about $4,000 of these
sta mps, but this does not anything
like represent the county's quota.
There is yet much work to be
done.
The buying Of these stamps is
in a measure a patriotic duty, but
it is also an investment that the
government wants you to make and
one that will yield a nice income.

one-half acres Of corn as a domon-
stration, with good results. His
record shows nine operations in
preparing the land up to time Of
planting. This contrasts sharply
with the customary break, har-
row and plant" procedure followed
by many people. The record will
prove whether or not it pays. The
average yield of corn on his farm
last year was ten barrels per acre,
and he attributes this largely to
thorough preparation and frequent
shallow cultivation.

proving popular, and it was stated
there last week that there has
been more cross narrowing this
spring than in the past five years
put together. Before the meet
Ing adjourned an order was made
for tankage for hog feed.
In view of the fact that 100
pounds of tankage will replace
eight to ten bushels Of corn when
fed to hogs, several farmers are
learning that it is economy to sell
corn and buy tankage rather than
grow hogs without it.

MERCHANT ACCUSED
Much Excitement in Trial Before
Commissioner Lee

Ben Franklin Hunter, a Paris
merchant, a contributor to local
newspapers and a writer of poetry,
was brought here and tried before
United States Commissioner A. NJ.
Lee last Saturday. He was charged
with disloyalty to the government
and guilty of acts unbecoming an
American citizen.
The proof showed that he was
opposed to the war, that he is very
eccentric in his nature, and de-
clned to permit placards for the
third Liberty loan or for the Red
Cross or flags to be placed about
his business house. "Wednesday

missioner Lee discharged him.
Previous to the trial, however,
Hunter made a statement in which
he said that be had been over
radical and that he was willing to
help the Red Cross and make a
public apology.
A number of Parisians attended
the trial and testified for and
against the defendant. The Incl,
dent created much feeling in Paris
and for a while it looked like
Hunter would be treated roughly.

Statement is Unauthorized

While in Camden last Saturday
to deliver a Red Cross address,
Gov. Tom G. Rye was asked if the
report that be was candidate for

had a large crowd, made a fine
speech and quite a sum was sub
scribed to the Red Cross.

Farm Notes

We who grumbled about the
cool nights which held cotton back
last year now have no kick COM
ing. The temperature is warm
enough and ''Iittle stuff shore is
CROWN /" according to general re-
ports. Cross narrowing continues
with young cotton and corn. and
many farmers who have done none
or little of this work before, are
now cross narrowing their entire
crop from one to three times.
This is not only good method of
cultivation, but it also saves great
deal of time and labor. This is
especially true in regard to cotton.
where the cross narrowing saves
SO much of the labor usually in
volved in scraping and hoeing.
Lois Miller, OF the Hico COM
munity. has four-acre demon
stration in corn, which shows the
effect of thorough preparation and
frequent cross narrowing.
A terracing demonstration was
given on the farm Of L. G. Butler
Wednesday by County Agent G.
H. Moody, who used one of the
inexpensive farm levels. such a;
are advertised in agricultural pa.
pers. Running the line of levels
was shown to be simple and easy
matter. The only objection was
that a considerable amount Of stove
wood was used for stakes.

EVERETT RESPONDS
Grows Critical in Replying to
Sims Answer

Judge Everett requests US to
publish the following letter 10 the
event Mr.. Sims answer to his
challenge for joint canvass is
published in our colums.
Hon. T. w. Sims,
Washington. d. G.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of great
length, declining to enter into joint
debate has been received. 1t reads
like page torn from your old
campaign speeches.
Old Atlas must surely feel greatly
relieved, since from your letter,
you seem to have the western hem
isphere on your shoulders.
If, unfortunately, you should
die, McAdoo would, DO doubt, be
at a loss to know how to run the
railroads, and important legislation
would fail for the want of cham
Ipion.
Since reading your letter, | have
wondered what the other twenty
members of the interstate and for
eign commerce committee are do
ing, or why such men as Frank
E. Doremus, of Michigan; Sam
Rayburn, of Texas; Andrew j.
Montague, of Virginia, and manly
other distinguished men from sew
enteen states should be on the CON-
mittee, since your letter would in
dictate that you are doing all the
work.
You say "our district is close if
both parties poll the same percent
age of voting strength" ! sup
pose you have in mind how dan
gerously near" you came near be-
ing defeated BY your republican
opponent in the last election, when
eight or nine hundred democrats
not only refused to vote for you,
but actually voted for your repub-
lican opponent. The returns from
the last election in this congress
sional district, as you doubtless
know, show that you trailed be-
hind the democratic ticket more
than twenty-one hundrded votes,
and beat your republican oppon-
ent only 22I votes, while Cover
nor Rye in his district, beat Over
all 1881. and President Wilson
beat Judge Hughes 1852. Which
shows that the district is not close
when the nominee is able to poll
the strength of his party, which
you miserably failed to do.
With that record behind you,
no wonder you do not want to face
an opponent on the stump. / shall
make my appointments and feel
free to discuss your public record.
If at at any time before the cleo
ton you should decide to join me
in debate, / will cancel my APP
pointmpnts and arrange new dates
with you.
/ shall hand this letter to the
paess. Yours truly.
S. j. EVERETT.

Paul, Mimi:
Dear Sir-Your invitation to address
the Non Partisan campaign rally is de-
clined by me for the following reasons;
The name of your league implies that
it is non partisan, but in fact there is no
organization more partisan. AT this
time, when other political parties are try
ing TO put aside. for the good of the
country, any fractional spirit that might
exist, your organization is doing every
thing within its power to increase 1t.
At the time OF our entrance into the
European conflict your organizers con-
demned our government for entering the
war. When it became apparent that this
course would result in disaster for their
organization, ley changed their course
and made an eleventh-hour claim to pure
loyalty, but notwithstanding this claim,
the National Non-Partisan league is
party of discomfort. 1t has drawn 10 ii
