SALVATION ARMY.

To the Soldiers and Sailors of Obion
County: l have been appointed by
Governor Roberts as chairman of
the campaign to raise $4,000 in Obion
County for the Salvation Army. l
am satisfied that you men know much
more about the workings of this or
ganization than l, as you have no
doubt been personally associated
with them during the last Great War.
This is a very small sum for this
county to raise to help such worthy
cause, and every soldier and sailor
with whom 1 have talked, advise me
that they will gladly aid the Saliva
ton Army in any way they can, and
have never heard one single person
say ought against them. My idea is
this: You soldiers and sailors know
what worthy cause this is, and can
do more in helping to raise this quota
by telling your friends what you
know personally of the organization
than all the advertising in the world
would do, and believing that you
will be glad to do this, | am going
to ask as many of the soldiers and
sailors in Obion County that can and
will, to meet me at the courthouse in
Union City, next September the 1st,
Monday, at D. m, and assist me in
raising this quota in every District
of the county. 1t will not be neces-
sary to get any large individual sub
scriptions, as it can easily be raised
with from $1.00 to $500 donations.
Mr. Hunter Elan, the cashier of the
Third National Bank, of this city,
has kindly consented to act as treas
urer for this campaign, and If every
one will pay their subscriptions by
check made payable to Hunter Elan,
Treasurer, their Cancelled check will
be their receipt, saving any unneces-
sary expense in mailing receipts, and
lot of labor for the parties aiding in
raising this quota. We can easily
raise this $4,000 in one day If all you
boys will help just as little, and all
of us feel better by having helped
such a worthy and deserving organ
ization as I believe this to be.
Meet me at the courthouse here in
Union City on the first Monday in
September at 2 o'clock p. M, and
bring your friends and any one else
interested with you.

Heavy Animals Scarce.

A threatened annual shortage of
100000 heavy work animals makes
it imperative that farmers at once
sbegin to breed for heavy horse and
mule colts.
Experts say that the war greatly
reduced the number of heavy ami
mails from which to breed heavy
colts. They say also that many grow
ers have concluded that tractors
would reduce the demand for big
farm stock, and have ceased to breed
for big colts.
Investigations have shown that on
farms where tractors are being used
the demand for big animals has been
reduced only one-half animals per
farm.
To overcome any possible shortage
of this type of animals, and to help
themselves have supply of animals
for watch there will be heavy de-
mand within the next few years,
farmers in group in each commune
ty should buy a big stallion.
The farmer who has big animals
for sale within the next few years
will be one to cleanup big money.

Start the Orchestra f!

Once there was an orchestra lead
or. He was not a brilliant musician,
but one day, while a theater was
burning and hundreds of people
were going mad with fear, he Twill
ed his baton and ordered his men to
play Dixie" The men played it
violins, comets, drums and all. The
effect was marvellous. Order was re-
stored and the audience filed out in
an orderly manner, with admiration
in their hearts for the-leader and his
orchestra.
The orchestra leader is type. He
not only leads orchestras. He domi-
mates political conventions, he quells
street fights, he is the master of any
situation when his fellow-men dis
card their thinking apparatus and
become swayed by the mob mind"
Kipling says:
'If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
Then the World iG yours and every
thing that's in it,
And, what is more, you'll be a man,
my son."
This country is passing through a
%
is an epidemic of strikes and other
symptoms of unrest. Old H. G. L.
blames it on somebody else, who
blames it on old H. C. L. This phe-
nomenon is produced by mob psy-
chology," species of unreason, by
which a man does a rash thing be-
cause his ncighbcr does. The rea-
son for such thing as composite
mob mind" is that the individual
members of the mob refuse to use
their own reasoning powers, but rely
on the inflamed mind of someone
else. A mob" means a gathering of
people for a particular purpose or to
witness particular event. If the
whole population &C the United States
is swept by an epidemic of unrea-
son, then the whole population con-
stitutes a mob"
If the gay tune of the orchestra
can make men smile in the face of
death, then it is the duty of every
thoughtful American citizen at this
time to stand by his fiddle and from
bone and thus help to keep his neigh
bors calm.
If you are pinched by the high
cost of living-and you are-be calm.

USES OF THE SWEET CLOVER

Sweet clover may be used in
North Dakota in, about the same
manner as alfalfa. It's main uses
will be for pasture and for hay. Less
important will be it's use for silage,
green manuring and seed produc
ton. Sweet clover viii, produce val
liable pasture, especially for cattle,
sheep and horses. The plant will
be less valuable than alfalfa for hay
and probably better as a silage
plant. AS seed production is always
certain there will not be large re-
gions looking to other regions for
a seed supply, as with alfalfa.
Each district will grow its oun seed
to a considerable extent.

sUNFLOWER sILAGE

Sunfower has recently been tried
out for silage. Mr.. Ince of the North
Dakota Agricultural College states
that it has a number of advantages
which should make IT'S successful
employment in hits way Of great
value. Namely, it is a plant which
can be grown in northern ATTITUDES
and it is capable Of yielding q large
amount Of succulent material for
feeding purposes. Montana has led
the way in a careful scientific inves-
tigation of the possibilities Of this
crop and their trials seem. to. in
dictate that sunflower silage is a
palatable feeding stuff Of excellent
quality. In the summer of 1918
some sunlowers were cut and placed
in a layer between corn in one of
the silos at the North Dakota Elk
detrimental Station. The analysis
show that the sunfiower silage was
considerably richer in protein than
corn Stage and nearly equal in the
other nutriments. This is but one
trial. The results of other trials
are needed before any grand con
illusions can be arrived at.

nature, we are compelled to say that as
long as Negroes violate white women there
shall be mobs in spite of our denuncation. -
This is just about as fine a defense for
lynching as a member Of the mob would
want. 1t is easy to infer that lynchng is
for rape, and that all rapsts are among
Negroes. There are as many rapists among
white men to the population as there are
among Negroes, and when it comes to Negro
women who are raped by white men we
hang our heads. And yet, when any men,
Der of the Negro race stands up and brings

dent nor calculated to promote right rela-

dnarly harmonious and we regard our
Negroes as unusually intelligent. honorable
and law-abiding.'
Lay this paragraph alongside the facts
that have come to light concerning this
Arkansas "revolution. The Negroes were
being robbed Of their cotton. They had en-
ployed reputable white lawyer to go in the
courts before a white judge and a white
jury to see to it that they got their equity
in the cotton-their equity and nothing
more Because they refused to be robbed
the planters got mad. The Negroes were
murdered upon the slightest pretext. In the
search for high-powered rifles the Negroes
were reputed to have had the best that the
soldiers and civilians could do was to find
among the Negroes few rusty pistols.
They said Negroes must have hid their high
powered rifles, and that is what is called a
"revolution.' Race relations are usually
good when Negroes submit to everything,
and are very bad when they protest against
high-handed wrong.

odist says:

ARKANSAS METHODIST A LIAR.

There is not much chance for stamping
out lynching until we get the press Of the
country to deal with the facts as they are.
The Arkansas Methodist in a recent issue
has long editorial on Race Relations 1t
starts out with the following paragraphs:
1T is not always possible on the first
press reports to obtain sufficient evidence
from which to dEaw correct conclusions con-
corning complicated public events, such as
the race revolution attempted last week in
Phillips County,; but there seems to be
good ground for believing that the Negroes
who, without apparent provoction, attack
eel and killed a number of white men and
resisted the efforts to restore order had
been led by revolutionary propagandists to
OF ganize for the purpose of numbering their
landlords and taking possession Of property
with the idea that this was patriotic duty
and they could enjoy the fruits Of their
lawless action.

them with a mixture of creosote and
