FOOD ADMINISTRATORS TO
HELP In NEAR EAST DRIVE

Unqualified support of the United
States food administration will be
given the campaign to raise thirty
millions Of dollars in this country for
the relief Of the Near East, including
Armenia, Assyria and Persia, Mr..
Hoover has cabled from Europe. af-
ter full and complete survey of the
food needs, that it is imperative that
this campaign should not fail of sue
cess. He has expressed the hope and
wish that all members of the food adj
ministration should take an earnest
and active nart in the campaign.
Letters have been sent out by DR..
II. Al. Morgan, federal food admins
TRAITOR for Tennessee, to all county adj
ministrators enlisting their support in
the campaign. They have been asked
to place themselves and their organ
izations unreservedly at the disposal
of the local ~e''3r committees, and to
cooperate in every way possible in
their counties in putting over the
campaign. No more deserving APP
peal, says DIR. Morgan, has been made
to the generosity of the people Of
America and Tennessee, than that
made in behalf of the starving women
and children Of the war devastated
countries Of Armenia, Persia ana
Assyria. For centuries the Armeni-
ans have been ground down and OPP
pressed under the cruel and desDotic
heel of the Turks, their women and
children massacred. and now gaunt
starvation threatens the estermina-
ton Of the remainder Of their gallant
and heroic people.

McAD0O APPEALS TO BOYS
TO HOLD THEIR INSURANCE

The following appeal to the soldiers
and sailors of America has been writ
ten by w. G. McAdoo, former score
tary of the treasury:
Approximately four million officers
and men Of the army and navy are
now insured with the United States
for a grand total Of ar
most thirty-seven billion dollars
You owe it to yourself and to your
family to hold on to Uncle Sans in
surance. 1t is the strongest, safest
and cheapest life insurance ever writ
ten.
For your protection Uncle Sam
has established the greatest life in
sur 4nca company in the world la
company as mighty, as generous, and
as democratic as the United States
government itself. Just ais Uncle
Sam protected you and your loved
ones during the war, SO he stands
ready to continue this protection
through the days Of readjustment
and peace
The privilege Of continuing your
government insurance is a valuable
right given you as part of the COM
pensation for your heroic and tri-
rmnhant services. If you permit
the insurance to lapse, you lose that
right, and you will never be able to
regain it, But if you keep up your
| present insurance-by ane regular
payment Of premiums You will be
able to change it into standard gov
eminent policy without medical ex-
animation. Meantime you can keep
up your present insurance at substan-
tally the same low rate The gov
Iernment will write ordinary life in
surance, twenty-pay life, endowment
maturing at So, and other usual
forms Of insurance. This will be
government insurance at govern
ment rates.
The United States government
through the bureau Of war risk in
surance Of the treasury department
will safeguard you and your loved
ones with the spirit and purpose Of
a republic grateful to its gallant de-
tenders. To avail yourself Of this
protection, you must keen up your
present insurance. Carry back with
you to civil life, as an aid and an
asset, the continued insurance protec-
ton Of the United States government.
Hold on to Uncle Sans insurance.

4 Defense Of Mother Eve and Her
Daughters.
By Charles P. simonton


If Mother Eve first tempted Adam
('Tis denied BY maid and MADAME
Yet the serpent, tempting woman,
was a male;
Else our prehistoric mother
Females can't deceive each other /,

Clothes all men in forked trousers

If the fruit was mans undolng,
Cuileless Eve was sweetly wooing,
Bridegroom Adam, hungry on his
honeymoon.
That Satan is Of manly gender
None deny who would defend her.
For alone at night he roams DER
hill and glade;
Else, with his persuasive powers,
He'd have sought sweet Hymen's bow
Meier remained superaaLuated

Fer since that day, when men dis

Straight they cry: "Ihe woman

Vet know, if you look farther
Than the woman, you will rather
Find old Satan with his bifureatod

The ancient Greeks preserved the
story
Of the tempting apples glory
Atalanta thereby blessed Milanion's
suit;
When she would outrun her wooer
He dropped apples to Guido her.
Modern man asserts she slyly drop
ped the fruit.
Since Adam fell from his high station
Mans despised cold collation.,
For if cooked, the fruit might lose
deaths deadly germ;
Hence his wife must cook his ration
With wet stoyewood and dry passion,
Serve it hot. or else dissolve the
nuptial firm.
And 50 he calls her woman, woe

( Africanders call her oh-man)!
Claims sole right to pop the ques-

Then he cries and wrongly, too

stationed, guarding the Rhine.
Private Kelly is the only living

were decorated with medals of honor
