Congress is hard at work devising ways and plans for raising money. Hut the issue must be met—the money musf come. It is hotter to spend millions now than to lose billions later. Congress has passed the I'resi . dent's select conscription measure for raising an army. No doubt this was the wisest course to pursue, as under it all will be treated alike. At first there seemed to bo consider- 1 ".able opposition, the volunteer plan being favored by many. But op- j position gradually melted away and , the measure passed overwhelmingly, i In this issue The Gleaner is pub- ; lishing an address by President Woodrow Wilson to the faamers of the United States. Experience has proven that au army can no more 1 wage war without food than It can fire arms and amunition, hence the President has issued this address to the peoplo at large of this country, urging them to plant and produce all the food crops possible. Not only to phut and produce, but ta lake care of it and use it econom ,-.icalJy. The other countries in the war with Germany have sent their mon to the ImttlclieMs and tliuy will need all that America "'an spare. What the I'resident has to say is founded on reason nnd facts, and it is incumbent on this country to pro duce enough for home consumption and some to spare. The prico of food stuffs in this country are higher now than at any time in the history of the country, unless it was right at the close of tl e civil war and for one or two years following. At that time wheat, corn and hog meat were about the price these articles are now commanding. There was a reason then- scarcity, but it is not tho real reason now. The high prices obtaining now arc in no small measure due to the greed of unconscionable manipula tors who are willing to make gain though half tho world go hungry A-JTbe government should push I vigorously the investigations on hand and atop the unholy business. The staple crops last year were many millions of bushels below the abundant crop the year before, but were many millions of bushels above the five year average, hence it is contended that the extreme high prices are unwarranted. The foreat Bcrvice of the na tional Department of Agriculture Is taking active stepa In re-stock ing tho mountain streams of the country with trout nud bam. The Unit shipment of 20,000 speckle and rainbow trout was made this week.

Ihe President of the United State* Appeals to You And to the Men, Women and Chil dren on the Farms. My Fellow Countrymen : The entrance 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 na tional life and actions which calls for immediate consideration ana settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel ana ap peal with regard to-them. We are rapidly putting our navy upon an effective war footing anu are about to create and equip a great army, but these are simple parts of the great task to whicn we have addressed ourselves. There Is not a single selfish element so tar a* I can see, in thecauss we are lighting for. We are fighting foi what we believe and wish to be thfc rights of mankind and for the fu ture peace and security of the world. To do this great thing wor thily and successfully wo must de vote ourselves to ihe service with out regard to profit or material ad vantage, and with an energy anu intelligence that will risa 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 o. capacity and service and self-sacri fice, it involves. 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 foou for ourselves and our armies anu our seamen, not only, but also for a large part of tne nations witu whom we have now made common cause, In whose support and oy whose sides we shall be fighting. We must i supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, submarines or no submarines, what will every day be needed there, an«J abundant materials out of our Holds and our mines and our - factories with which not only to equip anu clothe our own forces on land ano sea, but also to ciothe and support our peojik', the galljnt fellows under arms, who cau no longer worn, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms ano to kcejj tho manufactories there in raw material; coal t okcep the fires going in ships at s«a and in the furnaces of hundreds of factories across the sea; Steel out of which to make arms and amunition botu here and there; rails for worn-out Yallways back of Ih • fighting fron s nnd. locomotives mid rolling sloe* to take' the place of tho»3 every day going to pieces; mules, horsjs, cattle for labor and military ser vice; everything which the people of England and France and Italy and ilussia have usually supplier themselves but cannot now afford tho men, the materials, or the ma chinery to make. It is evident to overy thinking mun that our industries, on the farms, In the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific, and more effi cient than ever and that they must be more economically managed ana better adapted to the particular re quirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to say i» that men and wo men who devote their thought ano their energy to these things will bo serving their country and con ducting the fight for peace ana freedom Just as truly and effect ively a« the men on the battlefield or in tho trenches. The industrial forces of the country, mon and wo men alike, will bo a great national, a great International Service Army, a notable and honored host engag ed in tho service of the nation and the world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere. Thousands, na,v, hundreds of thou sands, of men otherwise liable to military service will of right and of necessity be excused from that ser vice and be assigned to the funda mental, sustaining work of the fields and factories and mines, and they will be as much a part of the great patriotic forces of the na tion as the men under flra. I take the liberty, therefore, of addressing this word to the farmers of the country and to all who work on the farms; The supreme need of our own nation and of the na tions with which we are co-operat ing la an abundance of supplies. Calomel Dynamites A Sluggish Liver Crashes into sour bile, mak ing you sick and you loose a day's work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury, Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes in contact with sour bils it crashes into it causing griping and nausea. If you feet bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, Just 6o to your druggist and get a 60c Dttlo of Dod son's Liver Tone, . Which is a harmless vegetable ■ substitute for dangerous calomel Take a spoonful snd if it doesn't 1 start your ilvsr and straighten vou up better and qulrker than nasty , falomel, and without making you sick, you lust go and get your money back. if you take calomel today youll be sick snd nauseated tomorrow; besodes it may salivate you, while 1/ you take Dod son's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full Of ambition and ready (or work or play. It's harmless, pleasant 'snd ssfe to five to children; they like it adr. | , jgHjßiii •' •• .vat:j &SS and especially of food stufrs. The importance, of an sdequate tooa supply, especially for the present yesr is superlative. Without an abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war the whole great enterprise upon which we have embarked will break down and fail. The world's food reserves is low. Not only during the present emergency, but for some time af ter peace shall have come, both our own people and a large proportion i of the people of Europe muat re ely upon the_ harvests of America, n Upon the farmers of this country, 4| therefore, In Urge measure, rests - the fate of the war and th? fate o! s the nations. May the nation not 1 count upon them to omit no step I that will increase the production o! v their land or that will bring aoout - the most effectual co-operation in the sale and distribution of their K products? The time Is short. It J is of the most Imperative impor tance the everything possible or t done and done Immediately to make » sure of large harvests. I call upon • young men and old men alike and > upon the able-bodied boys of th * land to accept and act upon thi' i duty—to tqrn In hos»s t6 the farms . and make certain that no pains ano no labor is lacking in this great i matter. I particularly appeal to the far ' mers of the Sjuth to plant abundant foodstuffs as well ,as cot ' ton. They csn show their patriot - 1 lam in nO better or more convincing ' way than by resisting the great ' temptation of the present price o.' ■ cotton, snd helping, helping upon > a great scale to fe;d the nation and the peoples everywhere who " are fTghtlng for their libel tiis snd our own. The variety of their cropr ' will be the visible measure of their " comprehension of their national ' duty. The Government of the United 1 Statea and the government of the several States stand ready to co operate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in secur -1 ing an adequate supply of seja, an adequate force of laborers when most needed st harvest time, and the means ot expediting shipments ot fertilizers and farm machinery, as well as of the the crops them selves when harvested. The course of trade shall be as unhampered as it is possible to make it and there shall be nq. unwarranted manipula tion of the nation's food supply, by those who fiandlq It on its way to the consumer. This is oar op portunity to demonstrate the effi ciency of a great democracy ond wo shall not fall short of It. This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether thay are handling foodstuffs or raw materi als of manufacture or the prod ucts of our mills and factories: The eyes of the country will ba espe cially upon you. This Is your op portunity for signal service, effi cient and disinterested. The coun try expects you, as it expects al. others to forego unusual prolfts and to organize und expedite ship ments of supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an ey. to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who en list in the ranks, for their people, not for themselves. I shall conil dently expect you to deaerve ana win the confidence of people of every eort and station. To the mi-n who run the rail ways of the country whether thay be be managers or operative em ployea, let mo say that thi rail ways are the.arterljs of the na lion's life and that upon them rest the immense responsibility of see ing to it that those arteries suffei no obstruction of any kind, no in efficiency or slackened power. To the merchant let me suggest the motto, "Small Profits and Quick ened Sevice," and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of th war depends upon him. The food and the war aupplies must be car ried across the seas no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The pieces of those that go down must be supplied and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does the work of th* world waits on him. If he slackens or fslls, armies and statesmen are helpless. He also is enlisted in the grest Service Army . The msnufscturer does not need f be told, I hope, thst the nation looks to him to speed snd perfect every process; snd 1 want only to remind hla employees thst their service Is sbsolutsly indispensable . and Is counted on by every man who loves the coui/try snd its lio ertieSk Let me suggest that every one who crestee or cultivates a gar den, helps and helps greatly, to . solve the proolem of feeding the nsUons; wnd thst every house wife who |irsctices strict sconomy puts herself In the ranks of those who ssrve ths nstlon. This is the time for A merles to correct her un psrdonsble fsult of wssteful ex , travagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful provident use snd expend iture m s public duty, ss s dic tate of patriotism which no one can now'expect ever t i be excused or forgiven for Ignoring. In the hope that this statement' of the need* of the nstlon sna the world in this hour ot supreme ', crisis may stlmulste those to whom ' It comes snd remind all who need reminder ot the solemn duties of a time such as the world hss never seen before, 1 beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give aa prominent publication and aa wide circulation aa possible to thla appeal. 1 venture to suggest, - also, to all advertising agencies that they would perhaps render a. r very substantial and timely ser j vice to the country if they would r give It wldespresd repetition. And I I hope that clergymen wIH not ; think the theme of it an unworthy : or Insppropriste subject of cpm- J ment snd homily for their pulpits. J The supreme teat *6f the nation I has come. We must all speak, act > and serve together. WOODBOW WILSON. *. " • SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson Vl.—Second Quarter For May 6,1917/ THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Te*t of th# Lesson, John xiil, 1-17. Memory Voraot, 14-15—Ooldon Taxi, , Mark x, 44—Commentary Prepared by Rav. D. M. Stearne. N The last evening of the moat wonder ful life ever lived on this earth had. come. The living and true Ood in tinman but not atnful flesh had been on earth over thirty-three yeara, thirty year* in the humble Nazareth home and orer three yeara In His public ministry, filled with the Holy Spirit, - going about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for Ood waa with Him (Acta x, 88). Thla was the patfeover that He bad so de sired to keep with tliem before He Buf fered (Lake xxll. 15, 10). The time liad come to which He had looked for ward before t lie world was (I ret. 1, 20). and. notwithstanding all their bllndnesH and unbelief lie waa still loving this little company whom He had chosen to lie Ills disciples. There Is a lot 'oi comfort In the first verse of ■ our lesson, with which I have in my mind Jer. xxxl, 8, and rejoice in the fact I hat. He still loves this bit of His property, although He knew It so tbo®- ougbly before I ever beard Him say that He loved and gave Himself for me (Gal. 11, 20). I'etcr and John hav ing made ready the passover feast in the upper room to which the Lord • Himself bad directed them,- He aat down with the twelve, saying as He took part with them that He would not eat of It any more nor drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom ' of Ood should come. Then ne insti tuted the supper by which we com memorate HIH death till He shall come 1 again. Some time during the evening there was a strife among them as to j which of them should be accounted the , greatest— l suppose In the kingdom of 1 which He had spoken— and He had to teach them again that lowliness was : true great news and He waa among them as one who served (Luke xxll, ' 7-30; Matt. xx, 28). Verse 2 reads in ' the revised version "during aupper" in- I stead of "supper being ended" and _ that the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot-to betray | Him. In Lake xxil, 1-0, we read that I before the feast Judas bad been to the j chief prleats and had agreed with them i to betray Him unto them. Yet here I he Is at the table with the others as ] If he waa a true disciple and none of j the others lind any suspicion that he I was not. Bee verses 18-30. What a desperate hypocrite the devil i can make of a person when he la al- J lowed to tuke control! If we allow his suggestions to enter our hearts he will soon enter In himself (verses 2-27). i How Infinitely patient was our Lord to tolerate the presence of suuh a one t and to wash Ills feet with tbe others, os He seems to hare done, knowing all the time how devil possessed be waa! ] The key to Ills great humility, His grace to do the lowliest things and to be patient ivlth the devil himself and to lieur such Insult and injury as came upon Him Is seen in verse 3. He knew who II» was, that He came from heav en and was going back home and that the Father hud given all things into His bauds. lie wss not aiming to be somcltody. for He wus the only real somebody that ever lived. Real-tfreat ness can stoop gracefully to lowliest service, but It Is Impossible to those who are aluilng at greatness. Only as we believe that we reully are what Ood says we are, because of our being redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, can we walk worthy of aucb a high calling. We are not aiming to be children of Ood and Joint belra with Christ, for such we are by our receiv ing Him (John I, 12; I John ill, 1, 2; Itom. vill, 10, 17), But belnfe such by free grace we should hold ourselves ready for any service by which we can glorify Him. His sevenfold act of verses 4, S, ns He rose from tbe supper and pre|wrcd to minister to them Is suggestive of perfect humiliation in or der to perfect set-vice. This act of ministry In the matter of water for their feet wus within the reach of any of theui, hut |ieople .who are striving for greatness, as they were, are not apt to think that any lowly service Is In their line. Water for the feet was au act of common courtly, as in Oen. xvlii. 4, and Implied In Luke vil, 44. Having done for them wbat any of them might have done. He said, "I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you" (verses IS-17). When Peter objected to allowing Illm to wash bis feet His reply, "If I waah thee not thou bast no part with me" (verse 8), might well search us all and leud ns to aak. Can I truly say "Unto Him who loved me and washed me from my sins in His own blood Y" (Itev. 1, 6.) Then to Pe ' teru request for more thorough wash ing His' reply, "He that Is waabed ueedetfa not save to wash his feet, but Is clean every whit." suggests the dif ference between a sinner's being washed once for all and the dally cleansing of s lieliever. As Christiana we are In constant touch with tbe de filement* of slu and the world and need continually tbe washing with wa ter by tbe word or Eph. v, 2a This He will let us do for one another provided It la done lovingly, with water neither too hot nor too cold. It la possible that no sentence lu this lesson la more often quoted than verse 7, "Wbat I do thou knoweet not now, bat thou shalt know hereafter." which may have both a near and a faroff Interpretation. A Good Friend. ▲ good friend stands by you when In need. Orsham people tell how Doan'a Kidney Pills have stooo the test. Mrs. Phillips endorsed Doan'a over seven yeara ajo ana: again confirms the story. Coulo you ask for more convincing testi mony t Mrs. R. C.

V Cor. of The Gleanqy. A DRAFT LAW DEMANDED. Washington, D. C., April M.— President Wilson is insisting on a draft law. The country is sqare ly behind President Wilqpn in this matter as this war tHat has been, forced on us by the barbariam ana | savagery and lawlessness of Ger- ( many is not going to be any child s j play and the only way to build a powerful, efficient and victorious, army, is to draft tbe men who are | capable and fit, and tbe country re-1 alizes that tbe sooner the draft law is passed the better It will be ana the sooner will victory be achieved. SUBMARINES PRACTICALLY. CONQUERED. It takes Americans to "show the world" how to do things; we have only been at war a few weeks, and American brains .have practically conquered the German submarine already. Before tbe war commenc ed the steamship companies of the world had practically made these ocean liners into floating palaces, so that when Germany submarined a great ocean liner, something like three to nine million dollars went to the bottom of the ocean.. We are now going to build wooden ships, Just as cheaply as they can be built ao as to carry the necessary car goes. Within about three months the, first of these skips will be launched, and after that they will be completed at the rate of about three a day, so that when • Ger many sinks one' of these instead of sinking six million dollars she will sink only about 90 to 90 thousand dollars, so where our losses woula have been one dollar before, we will lose in proportion only one or two cents. The suggestion f Kills sim ple solution was made to the gov ernment some weeks ago by two different engineers at practically the same time. Mr. If. A, Eustace of Boston a mining engineer ed Mr. P. A. Clark of New York, was the other party. That suggestion is \rorth a billion dollars to human ity. There It more CsUmh In thla Motion of the country than all other diseases pui to gether, and until the laat few yeara was sup posed te be lncraimble.

"To return to the simple life is a proposition that be wel comed by that is interestaa in health," says the State Board of Health. Continuing it sermonizes thus, "Too long have we been liv ing on the 'fat of the land' ana feasting out of the 'flesh pots' with indigestion, constipation ana other stomach troubles as., the conse quence, and it it takes war or the high price of food to break ua away from these things and restore us to the things that are right and good for us, then are not un mitigated evils." The movement to return to na ture and simple life is the solution offered to the high cost of living problem but health experts and en thusiasts have found it to be the only way of right living or health ful living known today. .They have adopted ltas a safe road to health, they say that a return to nature means good digestion, sound sleep, a clear head, a placid mind, con tentment and Joy to be alive. But first they say It means get ting close to nature—living'out oi doors as much as possible by work ing, playing and resting in the open air and above all by sleep ing in the open air. "Outdoor sleeping is tbe bast life preserver known." It means also going to the garden and orchard for your bill of fare—tomatoes, lettuce, celery, tur nips, spinach, Deans, corn, peas, mel ons, berries, apples,,peaches plums, and all otHer fruits and green stuffs untouched by fire. The real value of adopting the simple life, according to the ihealtb experts, Ilea in the pleasure we find in living It. To do it grudgingly or without knowing or appreciating its benefits, we botch it, and fall, but to love health more than ap petite and seek It, is to have health, comfort, efficiency and a long life. "Start the Simple Life—Begin it Today" is tbe motto of the health movement. i WHOOPING COUGH. One of the most successful prep a rati on* in use for this disease is chamberlsin's Cough Remedy, S. W. McClinton, Blandon Springs, Ala., "Our baby had whooping cough as bsd as aoy baby sotud have it. i Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it soon got him welL. .Obtainable everywhere. adv. Por every non-bcllgerent ahlp sunk by Germany, a neutral coun try begins to prepare for war. "I'haaberlaln's Tablets Have Dm ' Wonders Par Me." "I have been a sufferer from atomsch trouble for a number of iyears, and although I have oaea a great number of remedies recom mended for this complaint. Cham berlain's Tablets Is the first medi cine that has given me positive and and lasting relief,'- writes Mrs. An na Ksdin, Bpeneerport, N. Y„ "Chamberlain's Tablets have done bonders for me and I value tham very highly," Obtainable every where. adv. Let it be remembered that tbe American flag as borne by the gal- i lant American aviators Is already j flying far above the battle line of > France, V MakeUieofthePorches. "Make more use of tbe porches' is tbe advice of the State Board o! Health in pointing out ways and means by which peepie may not only get well if they are sick out may keep well. The Board says, "People use their porches too little. Some people might as well live In . .in tenement houses or a lone-room hut as far as they make of their pornh space. They consider tbise 'adjuncts to their houses more as 'ornaments to be used on Bnndays ' and special occasions, if at all. I Fortunately for the people of the ! Sooth, freah air is easy to be" had in both winter and. summer, bat generally speaking people dont yet appreciate this fact. Even in the spring and' summer people are lotf to leave their houses for the out doors, even for the porch. They have not yet learned that mucl} of their work can be done in the open air. A corner of the veranda or the whole side porch can be fitted up with screens and curtains for a gen- | eral living room or work room, or the same may be used for a break fast or dining room. Sitting in the open air when reading, resting or talking has its health value, and ahonld be a custom more widely adopted in the South for health s sake. ( It has taken centuries for us to find out and know that fresh air is the cure of consumption, pneu monia and colds, and 'probably it will take another century to make us know and use fresh air as a pre ventive of these, and some other diseases. HICKORY CHIPS. Now the latest thing in spring suite for yonnx men is a snappy khaki model. War is getting along pretty well, despite the fact that it has fewer brass buttons than form erly. Prussian junkers manifest a disposition to do anything for the Herman people except get off their backs. Canada expects to have a thous and trained aviators by tbe end I of the year, and Canada hss a good deal on its mind BCBides aviation, too. The flag has come forward with the flowers among the decorations for the Easter season, represent ing duty as well as beauty. In the matter of a nam# for our new West Indian islands, why not folio# historical precident? There are .British West Indies, French West Indies' and Dntch West Indies, wby not American West Indies? Herr Zimmermann, the Oerman foreign minister, ©ota plains that Mr. Wilson stole his Mexico- Japanese correspondence, broke off relations with "extraordinary roughness" and lots of other hor rid things. Cheer up, Doctor, he's not through with yob yet I Tbe arraignment of a Pennsyl vania Representative in Congress, in a Federal Court on the crimi nal charge of spending more than $5,000 to promote hiß election last Fall, and his plea of "nolo con tendere," may remind candidates and tbe country that gradually we are acquiring corrupt pract ! ces acts that have teeth. Prussianlsm Imperils Europe. It ' imperils Germany.ltself. Moreover, it imperils the United States. Strange tho' it may seem, sui dal melancholia seldom drives the victim to enlist. We see by the papers that Gen. Haig ia extending his tenure of of fice some 10 miles daily. China, Ruasis, America'and France is republics constitute a pretty large proportion of tbe human race. The Germans are said to be plan ning an invasion of Russia, but it appears that they had better be careful bow they set foot in that rejuventaed country. It' Is not strange that there are sympathizers with Germany in the United State#, but that there are champions of Hohenzollern despot isms-is strange. It la becoming more and more evident each day that the people in Germany are looking more anx iously to tbe bread supply than they are to the mythical glory of scientific retreats. Most of us will go through this war about m we did in tbe Spanish- American war—that is, we will not know or feel the difference, except what we see in the papers. It may be tbat Hindenberg has executed a real master-stroke of of strategy in his retirement, but the British and French, lacking his abiltiy, Just mistook it for an or dinary retreat and kept coming. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, that able and courageous rea -1 blooded American wants to see the United States "strike with all the [ power at Its command." That is the only wsy tor a great power, when once the war is on. Germany has gone out of her way to drag ua Into the war; for , American ships she torpedoed re . cently, were of no service to the Allies, whatever, so she must have sunk them for the purpose of , "dragging ua into the war,' so she can say "We cannot tight tbe whole , world," and save ber face in suing ' for peace. ■ A SYMBOL OP HEALTH. The Pythagorians of Ancient . Greece ate simple food, practicea temperance and purity. As a badge . t»-y. used the five pointed star [ ! which they regarded as a symbol of health. A red five pointea star appears on each package of Cham berlain's Tablets and still fulfills its Its ancient mission as a symbol of , health.
