God, our country and ourselves,
we have but little time left for

This is a wonderful farming
country, the ground lays well,
and the soil is rich. If these
people were only half as advanc-
ed in improvements as the peo-
pie of the U. S. A., they would
be far beyond anything we could

feed of all kind. We have not

wheat fields are far beyond any
thing | ever saw at home.
We have in been in the land of
weeds and underbrush for the
last two months pushing back
the Hindenburg line. This has
given us all we wanted to do, but
it is great sport to have things
going our way, with the Huns on
the run. 1t is hard to see our boys
going back wounded, but their
heads are up, and they say it's
all for a good cause. Its wonder.

play their nerve there has nev-
er been anything like it. Our
advance has been so fast that
supplies could not keep up with
the fighting force, and at times
we only had bully beef. hard

water.

good Lord for guiding US safely

We have been in the front

etc.
Then you have reached your
limit and there is danger ahead.
Certain upper East Tennessee
and Central Basin counties are
over balanced with wheat.
When the present urgent need
has passed, they will wisely de-
crease the acreage of wheat and
increase the acreage of pasture
and hay crops to save the soil,
to feed more livestock, and to
use labor to best advantage.
For the State as a whole. the
war-wheat program has been of
real benefit to the farms.
1t is surprising that all farmers
do not use a checking system to
pay farm bills. It is much the
best to pay as few bills by cash
as possible, and to keep little
cash around the house. The
sum estimated to cover all bills
for the month can be sent to the
bank by mail, and checks drawn
against the account.
Every check stub is a good
mean of keeping track" of.
what has been spent. And the
endorsed checks serves as a re.
ceipts for the payment of the
bill.
AS the endorsed checks come
back from the bank from time to
time they should be kept as re-
ceipts that the bills have been
paid. 1t is well to keep these
for two or three years and to
keep important ones even longer.
The less money handled the
less likelihood of mistakes. and
the more business-like the ac-
count will be. Efficiency in
Keeping money is Judge by the
small amount in the farmers
own purse. The simplest, surest
and best plan is to deposit in the
bank all money received and
check it out for expenses.

Woodrow and the King.
From Sunset Magazine.


Man Is a queer critter. Apparently he
loves to make him a fetish, crawl in front
OF II on his belly and beat his forehead
on the ground In AFFECT submission. Since
the lawn of history men have made and
unmade kings as easily as 4 child makes
mud pies. They have lifted one OF their
number on the throne, worshiped him,
trembled at his power, kissed his feet
and. firing OF him, they have often killed
him as the OK Is slaughtered. Again and
again they have proved that kings are
common clay depending for their preroga-
tive solely upon the scquiescence Of their
equals, yet the worshiping of royal per-
sonages as though they were appointees
OF the Deity has continued to this das.
Woodrow Wilson'S grandfather was n
humble subject OF the mighty British
king. Woodrow Wilson sat at the kings
table. the elected, representative OF tho
richest, most powerful nation on earth.
Woodrow Wilson addressed the king. But
he did not say "Your majesty" or Your
royal ~highness." Knowing that the elect
ed head OF 100, oo0, 900 people occupies a
more exalted position than the heredi-
tary. titular n nominal ruler of 49,
900, 900, knowing .he hollow emptiness of
royal pomp and ~trappings, knowing the
character Of the common clay Of which
kings are made, Woodrow Wilson de-
clined by humble speech to give homage
where one was due and smashed an
other precedent and addressed the king
as plain "Sir" and You"

PROHIBITIONS AFTERMATH.

When the wave Of ratification OF the
prohibition amendment was sweeping
h country the statement was made
that prohibition would increase the use
pf opium and cocaine. This statement
Is incorrect. The effect will be just to
the contrary. The succession OF drug
habits In as follows-tobacco. alcohol,
opium, cocaine.
A man generally starts the use OF
drugs by smoking cigarets. Presently
that drug loses the kick and he goes
10 a larger, stronger dose Of tobacco.
That leads to alcohol. After a while
he wants q stronger kick than he can
get from alcohol and he takes on
opium or some Of its derivatives. When
opium no longer gives the sensation
that is satisfactory he goes to cocain.
Not every drug addict follows in
these steps in their regular order. Many
shortcut and m begin differently,
or having begun differently progress
differently. Some opium users do not
and never have used alcohol, but the
fact that there are exceptions does not
disturb the rule. The institutions
which treat the morphine and cocaine
habits stress the necessity Of keeping
away from the use of alcohol. Some
authorities who treat the whisky habit
insist upon the dis~continuance OF to-
bacco.
Prohibition Of the use Of cocaine
practically has been operative for sew
eral years. For a number of years
there has been practical prohibition OF
h use Of opium. The opium user
now depends on the b~ootlegger.
Now we r to have prohibition OF
the use Of alcohol. The opponents OF
the prohibition amendment would have
US think that making whisky difficult
to get will cause men to take up a
new habit calling for a drug that Is
more difficult to get. The answer IL,
first, that II Is not good physiology.
The science Of the thing teaches us
that when we break the alcohol Ink
we throw the links beyond that out OF
operation. When we shortcut n step
in q progression the tendency Is for
the progression to stop. Some of the
people who, having become hardened
to whisky, take up morphine under the
old order, under the new will not be-
come addicted TO anything.
The second part Of the answer is that
It has not worked out that way. The
prohibition Of cocaine and opium has
not increased the amount OF alcohol
addiction. Nor has II increased the
number Of opium and cocaine addicts.
The states and cities where there has
been prohibition Of alcohol for a num-
Der Of years have had nc increase In
the use Of opium and it's derivatives
and cocaine. That there will be All In
