production, with the preserva-
ton of soil fertility, and with
better methods of marketing. TO
sell what we produce to the best
advantage is just as important to
us now as to produce a surplus
to sell. We have got to give
more thought, more time, more
energy to our marketing, or else
sell things for less than they are
worth. In a word, this is time
for sane conyer sation on the
part of the farmer-a time for
him to consider carefully how to
produce at the lowest cost, to
keep up his capital reserve of
soil fertility, to supply his own
needs as far as possible, and to
get the full value of whatever
surplus he has to sell.
He is called on to feed the
world; but he is not called on to
feed it with the cheap food of
the days before the war at the
expense of himself and his fami-
ly. Hereafter he must farm not
so much to raise things as to
make money out of his farm and
his work.

Better Health Planed For
All Communities.

Aiming at the development of
the community spirit through
the establishment of public health
nurses and the enrolling of the
children of the state in an organ
ization to fight for better health
of the community is one of the
big features of the next years
program of the Tennessee Anti
tuberculosis Association. AT the
present time the society has four
nurses who are combing the
state with exhibits and who are
not only canvassing small cities
and towns, but are also mount
ing on horseback and penetrat-
ing into the small mountain
towns with their message of
health.
Figures just completed by the
State Board of Health show that
ASH people died from tubercu-
losIs in Tennessee in 1918. Rigid
investigation Of health conditions
IN various cities have shown that
for every person who dies, eight
are left seriously infected with
the scourge so that in Tennessee
more than 5000 are sick.
! When Governor Roberts was
confronted with this report and
the program of the Tennessee
Anti-Tuberculosis Association,
he accented the chairmanship of
the December drive of the Socie.
ty for funds to carry on this
work during the coming year
Before thus aiding the Society,
Governor Roberts made sure that
the State Board of Healrh, Char
tiles and Education endorsed its
work and finding that they die
he threw himself into this move
ment to make Tennessee the
healthiest state in the union.
At present there are too few
sanitoria where the disease Cal
be treated. Travelling medica
clinics are a necessity. There are
not enough open-air schools
where infected children can b,
segregated and cured. Nor,
public health nurses are required
to arouse the communities to th'
peril of this plague. And sine
the program Of the Tennessee
Anti. tuberculosis Association in
cludes all these things we ar
glad to endorse it.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

In preparing for the Third Red

the peace time program of that

The latest reports show that
80, 900 service men still are in

quiring Red Cross attention.
Hospital canteen and motor
transport service must continue.
And the fifty base hospitals
organized by the Red Cross be-
fore the United States entered

Army during the war period now
are back from the fields and
must be reorganized and held
ready for any call. civil or mill
tary.
The Red Cross has a great as
signment of work on its hands
in this single particular alone.
The cessation of the war, sad
ly enough, did not at once re-
store comfort and plenty to be-
reaved and stricken lands, and
the American Red Cross, as a
sort of Big Brother to All the
World" is having to maintain
it's overseas activities on a vast
scale, and for an indefinite time.
For one thing, all the surplus
medical and surgical supplies
and the supplementary food
stores of the American Army
abroad, has been turned over to
the Red Cross for the relief pro-
grams now being carried out in
Poland. the Balkans, Siberia and
other countries.
The American Red Cross.

FARMERS ARE NOT RE-
CEIVINC ASQUAREDEAL.

The great war touched our
lives at almost every conceivable
point and changed them almost
everywhere it touched them. For
one thing, it changed our whole
scheme and system of farming.
The call for food became so in
sistent that We had to disregard
almost everything else, at least
to force everything else into a
subordinate place to answer that
call. Now that this call has
ceased it is time for a reckoning
as to where we stand and for a
readjustment of plans and poll
cies. Freed from the temporary
stress of the greatest possible
production, we must lay out for
ourselves a permanent policy OF
safe farming.
The war, with its insistent de-
mands for food, gave to the
farmers of the United States,
for the first time in the country's
history, something like a fair
price for what they produced, as
compared with the prices other
people were receiving for their
contributions to the general
wealth and welfare. The farm
ers are not yet receiving a fair
wage for the work they do. as
compared with workers in other
lines, nor a fair profit on their
investment, as compared with
the profits received by men in
other businesses. They have
made a start toward it. and they
have a chance steadily to improve
their condition and standing
also a chance, and a periously
imminent chance. to lose all they
have gained. To hold their own,
they have only themselves to de-
pend on; opposed to them, more
or less directly, they have urban
capital, organized labor. and it is
but fair to say most of the
authorities and agencies of the
government. There is no reason
to suppose that any Of these is
wilfully or consciously hostile to
farmers, but. there is on the part
of all them a general misunder-
stancing of the farmers real sit
uation and a general lack of ap-
probation of his contribution to
the needs of the world. If farm
ers had made such profits during
the war as the manufacturing
and mercantile interests of the
country made, the daily papers
of the cities would not be big
enough to hold the fulminations
agairst agragrain greed. If the
farmers were to threaten the
country as the railway employees
have lately done, the very dome
of heaven would resound with
the outcry against them.
This is not written to persuade
any farmer of his hard lot ir
life, or to stir up any feeling
against any class of citizens, but
it is high time for American
farmers to realize just where
they stand and what they have
to face. If farm products in
this country are ever sold at a:
low prices compared with the
prices of manufactured product.
and the wages paid urban labor
as in the past. the farmer will
see their present prosperity van
ishing like a mist before the sun
If they give heed to the advice
now being Sc freely offered then
to give all their efforts to in
creased production, thev will in
veitably bring down the price
of what they raise below tn
cost of production.

S28.52O.0O

Deficit ............. SZ8, ozU.OO
The above table Of revenues does
not include the special ward taxes
now in existence and the deficit of
S28,520.00 is the amount that will
have to be provided for by the new
parish-wide tax proposed to be voted.
Two and one-half mills on the as
sessment of $16,500:O0 will yield
a revenue of $42,250, which, in I'd
dition to taking up the above deficit
will give a surplus of $12,730.00.
However, as it will be necessary,
in the event of the parish-Wide tax,
for the general fund to take care of
all repairs to buildings and other
matters heretofore cared for by the
special ward taxes, which items are
not provided for in the above
schedule of estimated expenses, your
committee is of the opinion that the
new tax should not be less than two
and one-half mills.
We further recommend that this
tax be voted for period Of ten
years.
