toward manhood, was to have
assumed a half interest in the
business which his father owns.
The best that the writer can
say of the lad was this: He was
an average American boy, and
his one regret was his inability
to serve his country in the war
with Germany His was a pa
triotism that is monument to
the family, for in it we know the
material was possessed of true
American man in the growing
Not better than the best, he
was, however, as good as the
best. We are proud indeed of
our son, and from the express

he had a strong hold upon the
hearts of his acquaintance.

The colored community of Farmville

in order to retain their own and to
succeed as Il race they must give
moro attention to their younger peo-
pie movement has already begun
which will mean more to the future
population than any other cndcaVor
in the history Of Farmville.
The young men and others have
organized what is called, The Com

time will develop into Y. NJ. G. A.
Tho club is making great progress.
They hold services each Sunday after
noon in the basement Of tho First
Baptist Church, from $50 to $50.
On last Sunday afternoon they
were favored with a lecture by Mr.
J. G. Collins, Of Evanston, Ill, who
is n very successful and conscientious
Y. M. G.. A. worker. The young men
received high inspiration and were
greatly benefited by his excellent re-
marks.
He laid much stress upon the ac-
tivity Of Christianity. He also stated
that the soldiers who are now being
discharged from tho service and re-
turning to their homes are active
men and have new ideals Of living
and unless there he some organiZa-
tons in the community, as the Y.

LOOKING FORWARD

In a very short time we are going to have an election. 1t will
be different from any election held in Tennessee during the his
tory OF the state. For the first time the good ladies will be given
the opportunity to vote and to assume a part OF the responsibility
for the public officers who are to be selected to serve the people
pected. They will want to show that they appreciate the work
OF those noble women who worked SO long in season and out of
season TO obtain for them the right to cast their ballots. Voting
IN elections was not a pleasing exercise some years ago. II was
not u%ntrequenty a riot of disorder. OF late years our elections
have been peaceable and orderly and with ladies at the polls they
VIII continue to be, Memphis men will see to it that nothing unto
ward happens to mar the peace of the occasion. Women will
WELD a great influence both by their votes and their presence
They are not bound up in factions and can vote as they choose
and tor the best men. The day Of the yellow dog candidate is
passed. A woman can vote AGAINST her husband, her father or
her brother II she believes him unfit, and she ought to know best.
Inc ballot is secret and there is no one to criticize. This new ee-
nent IN politics ought to have a purifying effect and should place
public affairs upon a higher plane. Other activities in which
women participate are improved by them and it should be the
same with politics. They can work and root for the candidates
OF their choice as men do and the, can rejoice when they are
successful. They can not throw up thei~ hats, because this gear
costs too much to be trampled on. But they can manifest their
pleasure IN other ways less expensive and demonstratiye II the
weather is bad, carriages will be provided them lust as il thew
were gong to the matinee and the experience will be pleasant and
beneficial.
The good ladies' should make themselves and their power felt
a good beginning may mean much. If they are indifferent they
VIII show lngrahtude to those men who, defying the sneers and
tieers of their fellows, worked and voted to obtain the vote for
women. They have been given a weapon for their own defense
and protection and they should use it wisely.

FOOD

Chairman Hoover engages in gloomy prophecies concerning
me food supply in Europe, where there is sure to be scarcity and
suffering before very long. This should admonish the Aemrican
people and especially the South to make provision for the flu
ture. FOOD is the one thing that people can not do without. There
IS much food at this season of the year that may be stored nm
fruits and vegetables arc a splendid form of food when preserved
and canned, and when plentiiully put by the question of meat
will not be so pressing. People can get along without meat
when they make UP their minds to it or when they have to. Veee-
tables and fruits are wholesome and our canning and preserving
clubs should be encouraged to do all they can. Much Of the food
supply depends on them and they have it in their power 10 re-
lieve the situation a great deal. Food shortage in Europe means
that this country will be stripped to feed the overseas people
whom we seem to think more about than we do OF our own, The
spring and summer gardens have done we'll and contributed
largely 70 the food supply, The fall garden is still to be looked
after. The South is particularly fortunate in having a soil and
climate that makes 1t easy to produce an abundant supply of food
If It is only planted and cultivated. Ii people could only realize
the seriousness OF the situation they would go to work witt a
will and provide themselves with food while thew nav.
The ravens can not be depended on TO supply us with nourish-
inent. Alter supplying Elijah they seem to have quit the busi.
ness and we must look out for ourselves or suffer the conse-
quences. Wheat may be high priced and corn scarce, but fruits
and vegetables can be made TO take their places in a large meas
ufe. Nothing, that a person can do will pay quite as well as pro.
dncing food at this time and this means any kind of food rpor
which the human family can subsist. The fall garden should be
attended to. 1t is the sheet anchor of the food supply at this time
