R PATTERSON. Former Governor of Tennessee; yian of Rare Eloquence;; "Saul of Tarsus Made Paul the Apostle." This is the story of a man who saw the heavenly vision and was not diso bedient unto it. It is the story of a man who formerly championed that which now he disavows a man who, five years ago, was champion and de fender of the liquor traffic, but who now is devoting all the consecrated effort of a changed life to the cause of nation-wide prohibition. This man is Malcolm R. Patterson, former Governor of his native State of Tennessee, the gifted son of aivequally gifted father. As one of the' young leaders of the Democratic party in Tennessee he took his father's seat in Congress, and later was twice elected Governor. Until about five years ago . the splendid ability and striking in genuity of this man were devoted to the defense of the liquor traffic agajfist the rising tide of prohibition .senti nimtx in yhts; 'State and the nation. When ay Governor of Tennessee .(he prohibition law passed the JLegisla-. ture,and came-to him for his signa ture, he vetoed it and accompanied ... . - -' . a Ex-Gov. Patterson, of Tennessee, Who Will Speak in Morganton January 8. his veto with a message, in. which he characterized the " act as "destructive and undemocratic." Although, the bill was passed over- his veto, Govern or Patterson's veto message and speeches, made in defense of his ac tion ,were circulated nation-wide by fch liquor interests in defense of thier traffie, , : ; - ; ?hen, in the very height of his ca reer as a statesman, Governor Pat terson was overthrown by the traf fic which he had upheld. The dark hours through which he passed were the providential means by which he was led to become a christian. His conversion has been likened to that cf Saul of Tarsus. From that day to this, he has been one of the strongest and ablest advocates of National Gonstituitonal Prohibition. At the National Anti-Saloon League Conven tion. Columbus, Ohio, November, 1913, be delivered an address of marvelous eloquence on the theme: "Why I Changed Front on the Liquor Ques tion." Immediately the demand for Governor Patterson to speak on this question came from every quarter of the land. Since then, he has spoken almost continuously from ocean to ocean, and seldom has an auditorium been found, even in the largest dties, large enough to accommodate the crowds that hae thronged to hear him. Governor Patterson declares: "I am neither ashamed nor abashed to acknowledge the wrong I did when I once advocated policies which made legal a trade which I have come to look upon as having no rightful place in the economy of christian civiliza tion. I favor prohibition in any form that will either reduce or destroy the liquor traffic. I favor it person-wide, town - wide. State-wide, nation-wide, world-wide."

Every now and then I hear some person speak of what "they" are do ing "they" have declared war, "they" are sending our boys abroad, "they" will have a hard time whipping the Germans, and every time Ijhear it I know that the person sojf speaking lacks either .patriotism or a full reali zation of the facts in the case. It is not "they" some far off, ir responsible group of men who are waging war against Germany. It is we you and I- who are doing it. We are fighting to protect ourselves fighting for ev?ry principle of govern ment in which' we have professed to believe, for every one of the hard won rights of individual liberty to which we have become accustomed, for the safety of our own firesides and our own personal security. Germany is not waging war against a group of men at Washington, against the President and Congress, against our army and navy merely, but against you and me, every one of us. It is you, if you are a man of military age, that the German soldier would consider it his duty to kill if he could; it is you, if you are too young or too old to fight, that he would enslave, as he has enslaved Poles and Serbs, if he could; it is you, if you are a woman, that he would drive into slav ery and degradation worse that slav ery, as, he has driven the women of Belgium, if he could. It is to pro tect your;, own . homes from destruc tion and to. save your own children from "suffering and " starvation that you are fighting. 'It is high time for some of us to realize just what. this-, war means . to us and just wha.t part we play in it, time for us to see our selves as the people against whom war is being waged and as the people who must' strike back.- I know, of course, that there are a few noisy folksy and possibly a' few sullen;" muttering ones, who still say that "we had no business in this war," that "they ought to have kept us out of -it," and that sort of stuff. There may once have been some reason for arguing with this class of people, but there can be .little now. The man who- does "not by this time know that the war was forced upon us, that we had to fight, and that we have to win, oi lose the . heritage of freedom of which we have been so proud is eith er a "Very ignorant man or, what is often worse, a man who has shut his mind against the facts. Such men are likely to be beyond the reach of information. All that can be done with them is to lte them alone and to see that they are not allowed to over step the bounds of legal responsibility in speech or action without feeling the heavy hand of the law. One United States Senator is reported recently to hve said the war was forced upon the country by Wall Street, and that it is a war of greed and wealth. The contempt that every right-thinking man will have for the creature who could thus slander the President, the great majority of the members of Congress, the brave men who are fighting for us, every one of us who is trying to do his part by the country, I, nor anyone, need attempt to put into words, but every one of us must feel it in his soul. It is well for us to remember, however, that the coun try is strong enough to protect even such men as this in the rights they abuse, and that they have the privi lege of thus insulting their country because the country is too generous to deal with them as the German au tocracy we are fighting would deal. Any peace that might come before the military power of German is ab solutely crushed would be worse for us worse for you and for me in a multitude of ways than two or five or ten years of war. This war must be won, and the victory must be com pleted. The German people must be left with not a single glitter of their dazzling dream of world domination. It must be made plain to them and to any other nation with similar lust for conquest, that the world can never again be subdued by force, and that no nation can trample on the rights of other nations without paying the pen alty therefor. To fight with all our might until this is accomplished is the one thing left for us to do For, let it be remembered always, that we fight that peace may come peace with honor and security. I am not optimistic enough to believe that this will be the last war. I wish could think so. I do believe, however, that it will be possible after this war to make the world safer for the weak er nations, and to make it more diffi cult and more risky for any' nation to plunge into war. It is useless to shut our eyes to facts. We are en gaged in the greatest war the world has ever known, but the trend of the age is towards peace. The hopes of universal pcaee, the predictions of an age of international justice that pre ceded the 'outbreak of 1914, unwar ranted as they were, were not more unreasonable than is the idea that the world must forever be exposed to such horrors as it is now experiencing.

Every pound goes much the old stvi hulls swell to twice the weight, or i pounds t pound of , ' A onic also doubles after being eaten but as they are 100 n cent roughage, the original pound becomes 2 pounds not 14 pounds. . Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third aea as far as a pound of old style hulls. In other words you -only have to feed 4 pound of Buckeye Hulls t' give the same food value as a full pound of old style hulls. - .. s Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls cost much less per No trash or dust. ton. than old style hulls.

Mr. Ben Faulk, Dothan, Ala., prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls because cows ; ' like them as well, they are cheaper, they. agree with the cows, and they go farther, one sack lasting as long as . two sacks of the old style. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. . It is easy to do this b wetting them dpwn night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
