FARMERS OF SOUTH
SHOW PATRIOTISM
MUST RESIST TEMPTATION OF
COTTON'S PRICE AND FEED
THE NATION.
SUPREME TEST OF NATION

Must Supply Abundant Food Not Only
For Ourselves, But Also For Large
Part of Nations With Whom Ameri
ca Has Made Common Cause.
Washington. In an appeal to all
citizens of the country, I resident Wil
son stressed the opportunity for the
farmers of the South to "show their
patriotism," which he sard can be done
in no better way "than by resisting
the great temptation of the present
price of cotton, and helping upon a
great scale to feed the Nation and the
peoples everywhere who are fighting
for their liberties end our own."
The President's address follows:
"My Fellow Countrymen : The en
trance of our own beloved country
into the grim and terrible war for
democracy and human rights which
has shaken the world, creates so many
problems of National life and action
which call for immediate considera
tion and settlement that I hope you
will permit me to address to you a
few words of earnest counsel and ap
peal with regard to them.
"We are rapidly putting our Navy
upon an effective war footing, and are
about to create and equip a great
Army, but these are the simplest parts
of the great task to which we have
addressed ourselves. There is not a
single selfish element, so far as I
can see, in the cause we are fighting
for.
"We are fighting for what we be
lieve and wish to be the rights of
mankind and for the future peace
and security of the world. To do this
great thing worthily and successfully,
we must devote ourselves to the ser
vice without regard to profit or mater
ial advantage, and with an energy and
intelligence that will rise to the level
of the enterprise Itself. We must
realize to the full how great the task
is and how many things, how many
kinds and elements of capacity and
service and self-sacrifice it involves.
Things Nation Must Do.
"These, then, are the things we
must do, and do well, besides fight
ing, the things without which mere
fighting would be fruitless:
"We must supply abundant food for
ourselves and for our armies and our
seamen, not only, but also for a large
part of the Nations with whom we
have now made common cause, in
whose support and by whose sides we
shall be fighting.
"We must supply ships by the hun
dreds out of our ship yards to carry to
the other side of the sea, submarines
or no submarines, that will every day
be needed there, and abundant mater
ials out of our fields and our mines
and our factories with which, not only
.to clothe and equip our own forces on
land and sea, but also to clothe and
support our people for whom the gal
lant fellows under arms can no longer
work, to help clothe and equip the
armies with which we are co-operating
in Europe, and to keep the looms am"
manufactories there in raw material,
coal to keep the fires going in ships
at sea and in the frunaces of hundreds
of factories across the sea; steel out
of which to make arms and ammuni
tion both here and there; rails for
! worn-out railways back of the fighting
fronts locomotives and rolling stock
i to take the place of those every day
going to piecee; mules, horses, cattle
for labor and for military service;
everything with which fhe people of
England and France and Italy and
Russia have usually supplied them
selves, but cannot now afford the men,
the materials or the machinery to
make.
Industrial' Patriotism.
'It is evident to every thinking man
that our industries on the farms, in
the ship yards, in the mines, in the
factories, must be made more prolific
and more efficient than ever, and that
they must be more economically man
aged and better adated to the par
ticular requirements of our task than
they have been; and what I want to
say is that the men and the women
who devote their thought and their
energy to these things will be serv
ing the country and conducting the
fight for peace and freedom just as
truly and just as effectively as the
men on the battlefield or in the
trenches. The industrial forces of the
country, men and women alike, will
be a great National, a great inter
national service army. .
The Supeme Test.
"I take the liberty, therefore, of
addressing this word to the fanners
of the country and to all who work
on the farms: The supreme need of
our own nation and the nations with
which we are co-operating is an
abundance of supplies, food supply
especially for the present year, I
superlative. Without abundant food,
alike for the armies and the people'
noW at war, the whole great enter
prise upon wnioh we have embarked
will break down and fall. The world'3
food reserves are low. Not only dur
ing the present emergency, but for
some time after peace shall have come
both our own people and a large pro
portion of the people of Europe must
rely upon the harvests in America.
Upon the farmers of this country,
therefore, in a large measure, rests
the fate of the war and the fate of
the nations. May the nation not
count upon them to. omit no step
that will increase the production of
their land or that will bring about
the most effectual co-operation In the
sale and distribution of their products?
The time is short. ' It is of the most
imperative importance that everything
possible be done and done immediate
ly to make sure of large harvests. I
call upon young men and old alike,
and upon the able-bodied boys of the
land to accept and act upon this
duty to turn in hos9 to the farms
and make certain that no pains and
no labor is lacking in this great
matter.
Appeal to South.
"I particularly appeal to the farmers
of the South to plant abundant food
stuffs as well as cotton. They can
show their patriotism in no better or
more convincing way than by resist- I
ing the great temptation of the present !
price of cotton and helping upon a
great scale, to feed the nation and '
the peoples everywhere ""ho are fight- .
ing for their librties and our own. ,
The variety of their crops will be the j
visible measure of their comprehen
sion of their nation! duty. ;
"The government of the United .
States and the governments of the ;
several states stand ready to co-oper- '
ate. They will do everything possible
to assist farmers in securing an ade
quate supply of seed, an adequate
force of laborers when they are most '
needed at harvest time and the ;
means of expediting shipments of fer- 1
tilizers and farm machtnery, as well
as the crops themselves, when har-
vested. The course of trade shall bo
as unhampered as it is possible to j
make it, and there shall be no unwar
ranted manipulation of the nation's
food supply by those who handle it
on its way to the consumer. This is
our opportunity to demonstrate the ef
ficiency of a great democracy, and we
shall not fall short of it.
"This, let me say to the middlemen
of every sort, whether they are hand
ling our foodstuffs or our raw mate
rials of manufacture, or the products
of our mills and factories, the eyes of
the country will be especially upon
you. This is your opportunity for sig
nal service, efficient and disinterest
ed. The country expects you, as it
expects all others, to forego unusual
profits, to organize and expedite ship
ments of supplies of every kind, but
especially of food, with an eye to the
service you are rendering and in the
niHr nf those who enlist in the ranks.
for their people, not for themselves, j
I shall confidently expect you to de
serve and win the confidence of peo
ple of every sort and station.
To the Railroads.
"To the men who run the railways
of the country, whether they be man
agers or operative employees, let me
say that the railways are the arteries
of the nation's life and that upon
them rests the immense responsibility
of seeing to it that those arteries suf
fer no obstruction of any kind, no In
efficeincy or slackened powy. To
the merchant, lef me suggest the
motto: 'Small profits and quick ser
vice'; and to the shipbuilder, the
thought that the life of the war de
pends upon him. The food and the war
supplies must be carried across the
seas, no matter how many ships are
sent to the bottom. The places of those
that god down must be supplied and
supplied at once. To the miner, let me
say that he stands where the farmer
does; the work of the world waits on
him. If he slackens or fails, armies
and statesmen are helpless. He also
is enlisted In the great service army.
The manufacturer does not need to be
told, I hope, that the nation looks to
him to speed and perfect every pro
cess, and I want only to remind his
employes that their service is abso
lutely indispensable and Is counted on
by every man who loves the country
and its liberties .
"Let me suggest, also, that every
one who creates or cultivates a gar
den helps, and helps greatly, to solve
the problem of the feeding of the
nations; and that every housewife who
practices strict economy puts herself
In the ranks of those who serve the na
tion. This is the time for America, to
correct her unpardonable fault of
wastefulness and extravagance. Let
every man and every woman assume
the duty of careful, provident use and
expenditure as a public duty, as a dic
tate of patriotism which no one can
now expect ever to be excused or for
given for ignoring.
"In the hope that this statement o!
the needs of the nation and, of the
world in this hour of supreme crisis
may stimulate those to whom it comes
and remind all who need reminder of
the solemn duties of a time sucn as
the world has never seen before, I
beg that all editors and publishers
everywhere will give as prominent
publication and as wide circulation as
possible to this appeal. I venture to
suggest, also, to all advertising agen
cies that they would perhaps render
a very substantial and timely service
to the country if they would give it
widespread repetition. And I hope
that clergymen will not think the
theme of it an unworthy or inappro
priate subject of comment and homily
from their pulpits.
I "The supreme test of the nation nas
I come. We must all speak, act and
erve together!

Lesson
(By E O SELLERS, Acting- Director of
the Sunday School Course In the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1817, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 22
JESUS ANOINTED AT BETHANY.
LESSON TEXT John 12:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT She hath done what
she could. Mk. 14:8.
This is a lesson of Jesus in the
home. It occurred at the beginning of
passion week. We have before us the
master; the worker, Martha; the wor
shiper, Mary; the witness, Lazarus;
the traitor, Judas, and the people with
out. An unconscious bit of wisdom
fell from the lips of that good house
wife who exclaimed, "How much bet'!
ter my neighbors' houses 'look when I
have my windows clean." Too much
we are looking through the eyes of
selfishness. Out of this lesson let us
learn to look through unselfish eyes.
I. Unjust Criticism (vv. 1-6). It Is
six days before Jesus' last Passover.
The accounts of Matthew and Mark
suggest It to have been within two
days, because they mentioned this
feast after telling of the conspiracy of
the chief priests and elders with Ju
das, who came to his determination to
sell his Master after the reprimand
given hlra on this occasion.
(1) The Value of Good Deeds. Je
sus did not forget, in the supreme
hour of his life, the friends whom he
loved. To bring them some further
spiritual gifts, he had come 'to their
home In Bethany. Doubtless he also
had in mind the desire to nourish the
faith which had been kindled In the
hearts of all by the resurrection of
Lazarus, just as he returned to Cana
after having performed his first mir
acle (John 4:54). Jesus was Very
God of Very God, yet he was very
much of a real man; therefore he en
joyed the pleasures of home as much
as other men, and the joys of kinship
and brotherhood.
(2) The Wealth of Good Deeds. Out
of her love Mary expended $51, prob
ably her whole treasure, In the pur
chase of this alabaster box, and put
it aside to use it upon him at the
proper time. We do not think that she
stopped to calculate the cost of this
ointment. Love never estimates value.
Her deed proved a safer guide of con
duct than the calculating prudence of
Judas and the other disciples (see
Matt. 26 :S). Such deeds are always
looked upon with suspicion. The Isca
rlots usually are the leaders in criti
cizing the actions of others. Envy lay
at the bottom of their criticism, but
good deeds are unconscious, for we
read that "the house was filled with
odor."
(3) A Standard of Good Deeds
(Mark 14:8); "She did what she
could," and we have also the record
of good deeds, a memorial to her
(Mark 14:9). A large number of peo
ple who never give of their own to the
poor nor to the kingdom of God are
willing to criticize others who do give
out of the gratitude of their ' loving
hearts.
II. Gracious Commendation (vv.
7-11). Jesus praised where his disci
ples and Judas criticized. The poor
they always had with them (Mark
14:7). This must have been a chal
lenge that evidently they had not at
tended to the poor as they should.
Jesus also tells them frankly that
whatever they do for him they must
do speedily. Jesus' judgment upon
Judas Is a rebuke of the disciples ; his
exposure of the sophistry of the crit
ics and of their subtlety is suggestive.
Upon Mary's act he bestowed the
highest possible praise. "She hath
done what she could." That is all that
Is asked of anyone (H Cor. 8 :12). Such
commendation as Jesus bestowed upon
Mary he i,es,towed upon no other, and
his wonderful predictions concerning
her (Matt. 26:13) have been literally
fulfilled. Jesus' judgment upon Mary
is also suggestive. He shielded her,
"let her alone;" He approved her
works as being good, and he inter
preted her innermost purpose in the
act which she had performed. This
outward act was literally the pouring
forth of her heart's adoration and wor
ship Martha was in part taken up
with her household service. Lazarus
was In part taken up with his enjoy
ment of the presence of Jesus, but
Mary was wholly taken up with Jesus
himself. Does the record surprise us :
"Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world,
this also which she hath done shall be
spoken of for a memorial of her?"
Judas, under the Judgment of Jesus,
was stung (Matt. 26:14) and hurries
at once to the enemies of Jesus to
strike a bargain with them for the be
trayal of his Lord though he did not
secure from these enemies the equiva
lent of what she had poured upon him.
Christ will bi no man's debtor. He
takes the poor offerings we lay before
him, and crowns them with the rich
est reward. Mary's gift of ointment
received words of commendation of
which she never dreamed, and a re
ward far beyond her fondest hope, and
has been the fount of countless deeds
rich with love. Many people had gath
ered, not only for Jesus' sake, But
that they might see Lazarus also. He
drew people because of what Jesus had
done for him. yet he drew them to
fesus. This brodght him also undei
ondemnatlon, for we must share th
itterness of the foes of Jesus.
