PROVED SPIRIT
 OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America
 Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri- flee of the American people must be attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied arr mics and the civil populace.
 Upon this spirit of service and sac rifice will depend Europe's fate in the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which is almost be- yond comprehension. But with the new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression, our exports must be almost doubled. Instead of 11,S2O,- 900 tons, we must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe in the coming year-as much as can be pushed through our ports.
 If the Allies had not been fed by America. it would have been impos- sible for them to maintain their de- fense-against Germany.
 Meeting this world need on purely voluntary basis, the American people have exclusively proved that democ- racy is success ana that in time of need it will rise to its own defense.
 If there were no other accomplish ment to Its credit the very fact that it has shown the strength of democracy has in itself more than justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the world.
 Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet Americas food problem on a basis of voluntary action and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove irresistible.
 "Many thinking Americans" said Mir. Hoover, "and the whole world have been watching anyiously the last four months in the fear that demo- cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident that it could not be done. Contrary proof is immediately at our door, and our people have al- ready demonstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently in many di- rections and upon the mere word of inspiration aside from the remarkable assemblage of our Army and finances
 The history of the Food Administra- ton has clearly shown that the trust of those who put their faith in delnoc- racy has not been misplaced.

UNCLE SAM" AND
 THE HOME GARDEN
Well Known Civic Leader Shows F.* Vegetable Garden Will Cut The
 Family Store Bill In Half

Atlanta, Ga.-Special.)- )-"Few peo- pie realize the actual money-saving power of the home vegetable garden and what it can be made to contrib ute in the way of food for the fam fly table," says President H. G. Has, tings, of the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce, and the Southeastern Fair, in discussing the matter Of food supply for the South in 1919.
 Uncle Sam, through the United States Department of Agriculture, said MT. Hastings, estimated the value of the vegetables produced last year in home gardens of the United States at three hundred and fifty mil lion of dollars. This means that much actually saved by the garden makers from their store bills.
 "Whenever there is lack of food or money to buy food, no matter wheth- CT it be due to worldwide food scare ity, boil weevil damage or other cause, the first word Uncle Sam passes out to the sufferer is to make good bis home garden. Why? Because the right kind of a home garden is the quickest, cheapest and best source of food supply there is.
 'The great trouble here in the South is that our people don't take the home garden seriously enough, or give it the attention that it's importance as food producer and money-saver justi- fies. 1t ks mostly made with lick and a promise' and the cultivation and replanting it gets during the growing season is mostly of the unfulfilled pronIse kind.
 With the present and certain-to-be continued high food prices on the one hand, and the very great uncertainty cash crops will sell for next fall, it is time above all othSs to play safe "This is no time to gamble on cot l ton None of us can tell within 15
 cents pound what it will sell for next fall. The farmer who makes few UT 'uO DULY uOuto loi Aooo, Pi his own and family needs on home acres, is safe regardless of cotton | prices, and he is the only one who | is safe.
 "The right kind of a home garden maintained all through the season and , given square deal in the way of cul tivation, is the greatest store-bill-cut ter on record. A quarter to half an i acre garden for the average family will cut the store bill in half"

APPROVES SUFFRAGE
 AND BONE DRY LAW
Senate Votes to Ratify National Pro- r hibitfon-Ask Enfranchisement
 of WOmen-TO Exclude Ii Foreigners.

Little Rock, Jan. 15.-By unanim- ous vote on each measure the Senate adopted the resolution of Senator Ga zort, requesting the United States Sen- ate to adopt the resolution providing for woman's suffrage; Senator Bone resolution ratifying the federal amend. ment for nationwide prohibition, and the House resolution by Representa- tive Doyle on the same subject.
 There were no negative votes cast by the Senate on any prop esition.
 To Eliminate Foreigners.
 When the joint resolution, introduc- ed by Senator Hartje, providing for equal suffrage, was read, Senator Greenhouse asked that it be referred to the Committee on Constitutional Amendments, in order to make sure that it contained a provision eliminat- ing the voting privilege of foreign full citizenship. He contended that the simple declaration of such persons to become citizens of the United States was not sufficient to entitle them to the privilege of voting. He said that some of these residents, after filing their first pa apers, never apply for completion of their citizenship. Un- der the present constitution such for eign-born residents are permitted to vote in t ne elections in Arkansas, and some have held office without legally being citizens of the state He considered this an injustice. The reso- lution was refer. ed as requested
 Representative E. o. Bagley of Pu- laski county, heading a, special com nittee from 'he House, lerfed the :'ehate of tn, organization Of that body.

GRAND DUCHESS ADVOCATES
Unpopular Because of Pro-Germanism
 Is Succeeded by Younger Sister.

Paris, Jan 15.-The government of Luxemburg in an ofiiciel note today informed the French government of the succession to the throne of Prin- cess Charlotte Adelgonde, in place of Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide, who has abdicated Princes Charlotte took the oath as grand duchess this afternoon before the Chamber of Dep uties of Luxemburg, which previously had approved her succession. 1 The new grand duchess, Charlotte, is the eldest of five sisters of former Grand Duchess Mare Adelaide She was born January 23, 1896, and is IS months younger than the former grand duchess.
 The people of LuXemburg have been irate at the Grand Duchess Marie be- cause of her friendliness to the Ger man invaders. who overran the tiny duchy at the outbreak of the world ! war. As soon as the country was 
 freed from the invaders the demand for her abiication became insistent. 1 There was strong sentiment for the esta ablis shment issued an urgent sp- peal that the dynasty be not over thrown, and the Grand Duchess offered to abdicate if her people desired such action.
 l One of the gravest complaints of the LuXemburgers against the Grand Duchess Marie was her action in giv- | ing her consent to the betrotnal of one of her younger sisters to Rup- precht, then crown prince of Bavaria,
 and once commander of the German
 armies on the Somme front News of the engagement of, the young duchess
 and the middle-aged widower-soldier
 aroused such storm of protest in
 Luxemburg that the breaking of the
 enga cement was announced few
 weeks before the signing of the ar
 mistice.

NOT FIT TO PRINT Ry Wal McPeak

E If the Armenian and Syrian Relief
 Campaign is failure in the Southwest
 this reason might possibly be offered:
 The people were not told all tfe facts regarding the war sufferings of the 'Armenians, Syrians and Persians at the hands of the Turks.
 The truth of the matteris, a book or
 newspaper would be debarred from the l United States mails, if it undertook to
 publish the whole story of Turkish
 atrocities in the Near East.
 The tortures and mutilations and
 butcheries, the rapes and thousand
 other indecencies perpetrated upon Armenian women and girls constitute the most unprintable narrative in the
 history of barbarian. They make the invaders of Belgium look like a Sum- lday School picnic party. And-they are facts, coming straight from trust !worthy witnesses, United States con- suls, missionaries, relief workers, and escaped refugees.
 | But without making known the de- tails of the whole. hideous story, one | fact alone should be sufficient to get a, response from the great heart of America: Right now four million lshelterless men, women and children I are dying a slow death from starvA- ition, and will assuredly perish unlest lwe come to their aid. Armenia looks to America for hel
 salvation" says recent cablegram| What will you do about fl February

IS VIRTUALLY RATIFIED
Only One State Needed, With Three
 CORtesting to Be That One.

Washington, Jan 15-Legislature of B states-one less than the re- quired three-fourths- ratified the prohibition constitutional amend ment. Several legislatures are ex- pected to take action tomorrow with la, probable race between Nebraska Missouri and Minnesota, as to which will be thirty-sixth on the list.
 Ratification was completed today by the legislatures of Iowa, Cobra do, Oregon, New Hampshire and Utejh, making a total of 12 in two days. Of the 35 states that. have taken action, only IA have certified their action to the State Department. They are: Virginia, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Carolina, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, Montana, Della ware, Massachusetts, Arizona, Geor- gia, Louisiana and Michigan.
 The amendment becomes effective one year from the date of it's final ratification. Additional legislation by Congress is necessary to make it operative and ground work for this has been laid. This legislation will prescribe penalties for violations of the amendment and determine how and by what agencies the law, shall be enforced
 If ratification is completed this month many officials here believe the country will become permanently dry next July 1, the date on which the special wartime prohibition re- gently enacted by Congress, goes into effect. This law prevented the man. ufacture and sale of intoxicants for beverage purposes and remains in forca until the demobolization of the nations armies is completed.
 Court action to prevent the amend ment becoming operative has been started in California, where an order temporarily restraining Governor Ste phens from signing ratification of the amendment has been obtained. It has been said thGt similar action may be taken in othcr states in which state laws require that federal constitution al amendments must be submitted tC referendum.

Have we grown careless of taking precautions against contracting influ- enza because we have become more accustomed to it. It may be. Wheth- CT that is the cause of it's being more prevalent in the land or not, we cant say. Certainly it is that we are los ing many good men and women al- most daily from this disease.
