The Drift Away From
The Farm.

If the farmers were getting
what they should receive of the
price paid by consumers for
farm products, they could be
prospering. They could provide
attractive homes for their famil-
les; they could educate their
children and surround them
conveniences that would insure
the majority of them remaining
on the farm. But unfortunately
they are not getting it, and each
year the farmer is encountering
new handicaps, increased taxes,
increased freight rates, decreas.
ed productivity of his soil and
increased demands for necessary
living expense. Many farmers
are getting discouraged and leav-
ing the farm, trying to find a
place in some industrial capacity
where they can hope to increase
their earning power. Some
leave the farm and succeed;
many more date the beginning of
their drifting from the time they
cut loose from the farm.
Our population is constantly
increasing. They must be fed;
the food must be produced if
they eat. Farmers are drifting
away from the farms until pro-
buction would not meet consump.
ton demands. Industry could
not prosper if food could not be
had for those engaged in that
line or become so scarce and
highed priced as to take all the
earnings of those engaged in
industry.
The conditions that are driving
people away from the farms
should have the sympathetic
interest and cooperation of all
classes in improving, for all are
dependent upon a productive
and profitable agriculture for
their own individual prosperity.
Agriculture is the Oldest voca'
ton known and all other acti'
vities grew out of the needs Of
the farmers, Those engaged In
other activities have developed
those activities, have kept
abreast of progress and have
made their work attractive anC
profitable, while with the masse:
engaged in agriculture a moi

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
AT NASHVILLE JUNE S.
To the Business Men Of Ten.
nessee Who are Interest
ed in Good Government
and Better Business.

AS | come in contact with the
people of Tennessee, | find few
if any satisfied with present day
conditions. Represented Of each
interest seem to feel that their
lot is the hardest and their bur.
don the heaviest. Desiring, if
possible. to find a reason for all
this, | recently addressed a COM
munication to outstanding busi-
ness men Throughout the State
seeking information as to the
Why's and Wherfores of the
present business con ndition.
There was somewhat of a simi-
larity of opinion in the replies I
received, especially in one direc-
ton, namely, that the war left
business in an unsettled, un-
stable and unsatisfactory condi-
ton, and that we were as un.
prepared for peace and a re-
sumption of busin ss as we were
unprepared for war. This con.
dition has resulted in a more or
less indifference on the part of
all the people and lack of
appreciation of Efficiency, Thrift
and Industry, which are, SO
essential in the readjustment
period through which we are
still passing.

of the Hermitage Hotel, for the
purpose of discussing every
angle of the subjects embodied
in the general theme GOOD
GOVERNMENT AND BETTER
BUSINESS" At this meeting
will be discussed:
First Good Government. NUM-
cipal, State and National, in its
relation to the people, for the
purpose or arrivins at con-
clusions as to-
How the Government can be
made more responsive to all the
people.
How the burdens of Taxation
and Administration can be more
equally distributed and lightened.
How Economies can be put
into effect, and how a greater
love and respect for the Govern
ment can be klndled in the hearts
of all people.
Second Efficiency in bust.
ness is needed more today than
any time in our industrial his.
tory. There is a disposition on
the part Of too many to shirk
responsibilities. to drift the tide.

mites for developing the States

er for farming prevented a large
number of the farmers from at

Mass meeting assembled take
special pride in our endorsement
of the past record of the Hon.
Cordell Hull. who has So ably
represented the Fourth Con-
gressional District of Tennessee
in the United States Congress,

should feel highly honored with
furnishing such man for the
Chairman of the National Exec

specially recomend that every
Democrat of the Fourth Con-
gressional District lend him
their full support in the coming
campaign.
1t is futher resolved the Mass

ment at it tooth and nail for himself, while God as
says sefforgetfulness is greatness
No. He says better than that, for it is the sef-for
gefuness which is the result of the fullest service of
others that is true greatness.
But you say it isn't natural Of course it isn't.
Pts supernatural But the fact is that most of the
greatness of God which understand is an ex-
empifcation of Gods prescription
Didn't Jesus Christ sink Himself into nothingness,
almost in serving US? And then He died for our sins.
Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him and given
Him name that is above every name" Yes that's
the road greatness and the first step is taken when
man believes what God say about Jesus Christ.
Oh you men and women who eagerly read news
papers, why don't you devote some time each day to
Gods great newspaper-the Bible?
