THURSDAY, April 26th, 1917
Men of military age, who have mar
ried since a state of war against
Germany was declared, will not es
cape military service under the War
Department's policy. The Department
statement follows: "The War De
partment announces that all men,
married since the outbreak of the war
will be treated upon the same basis
Constipation and lndiae8tion
These are twin evils. Persons suf
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs. Ro
bert Allison, Mattoon, 111., write that
v hen she first moved to Mattoou she
was a great sufferer from indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed her
and there was a feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on her stomach ami
chest. She did not rest well at nignt,
r.nd felt worn out a ood part of the
time. One bottle of Chamberlain's
Tablets corrected this trouble so that
she has since felt like a different
person.
Party Line Courtesy
The quality of service on a party line
is largely dependent upon the co-operation
of the subscribers on that line.
No subscriber should use a party line
for long periods of time, to the total ex
clusion of others.
When a party line is found to be in
use, hang ' up your receiver immediately.
While it is off the hook conversation is
interfered with.
Each neighbor on a party line is. en
titled to a reasonable use of the telephone
service, arid should not be interrupted or
have the privacy of his conversation inter-
fered with.
The Golden Rule applies with partic- -ular
force to party line telephone service.

ilustrial and productive development
As a. tangible pirt of such prepared
ness measures, the members of the
various Boys' and Girls' Agricultural
and Live-stock Clubs, in a nation-wide
movement, will do a great deal to
ward contributing food and feed-stuffs
or the maintenance of both the mil
itary and civilian population..
"In North Carolina this year an
army of 5,071 boys and girls have
already begun work on their produc
tive projects. This effort will resolve
itself into 2.234 acres of corn, 82
acres of cotton, 1,215 pigs, from which
may be expected a very large progeny,
72 acres, of peanuts, 190 14 acre
patches of Irish potatoes, and 1,278
poultry flocks. What this means to
wards adding to the State's wealth
can be illustrated by stating that the
boys' corn crop last year Increased
the assets of the State by $20,000;
the pig work produced $10,056 worth
of pork,, and the Poultry Club was
responsible for raising of 35,000 birds
for egg production.
"Wars are not only waged with guns
and shells; they are fought along ec
onomic lines, with food, clothing, and
shelter, as three great emprirlcal
fundamentals. In Europe the call for
industrial patriotism was sounded al
most as soon as the call to arms was
i made. Women and children are now
tilling the soils of England, France
and Germany, so that the men who
fight may be - fed. This country J !
embarking on an era of suffering and
privation. Last year saw and incred
ible shortage of almost every com
modity used for food. Rice was the
only exception. With an Increased
army and navy to support and feed,
with thousands of men drawn away
from their normally productive oc
cupations, with the destruction of (mil
lions of dollars' worth of food by those
in Europe, who normally would be
pioducing, under such circumstanoes,
every man, woman and child who
grows an edible commodity is a pa
triot, in every sense of the word.
"Especially should all men and wo
den in public walks of life give heed
to this issue for increasing commodi
ties. County superintendents, rural
supervisors, county and home dem
onstration agents and all other citi
zens; imbued with the seriousness of
the situation should spare no efforts
to interest every boy and girl both
rural and urban, to do his and her
share in feeding the community. The
'xore we can produce, the wealthier
Y
In nrnnortlon to its food SUDDly. And
the truth of this statement finds em
phatic illustration in the present in
ternational conditions. The supreme
test of endurance alike for Germany
and England is concerned not with
men and munitions, but with food.
"With war declared, therefore, and
a war in behalf of the sacred prin
ciples of liberty and democracy to
which Ameirca is dedicated, every
man who rightly tills our soli may
feel himself as surely a defender of
fie nation as If he were fighting with
irtisket, cannon or battleship. But re
member that we say, provided this
tanner rightly tills the' soil. The cry
of America today is for food and feed
and plenty of it. In all the other
lighting countries of the earth there
is a deficiency of food, and with un
told thousands of men going to war
from our American farimB, American
canacity for production will decline
and both the demand for and prices
of food are likely to exceed anything
we have yet known.
"Patriotism and self-interest alike
therefore should prevent over plant
ing of cotton and tobacco and encour
age he heaviest possible production
of food crops In every southern state.
Soldiers can put up with worn or rag
ged clothes, but they die without food.
As' some one has said 'you cannot
c-arn your breakfast, mend your din-.
ner. or natch, your supper.' Food
feed ctods must therefore continue
.relatively higher. than cotton,,-
"We are fortunate in that war
comes while there is yet time to
chanee our plans so as to make acre
ape conditions fit the plain mandates
cf the market and of patriotism. No
one knows how much it will cost to
buy war priced corn, meat and flour
with which to make cotton, and the
only safe policy Is to make the farm
llrst feed itself, We must have am
ple food and feed crops and gardens
twice the .usual size.
"We are also convinced that condi
tions justify the heaviest use of fer
tilizers have not advanced so much as
frices of the food crops they help pro
duce; they are, therefore, relatively
cheaper than usual. The aim of every
farmer should be to make a maximum
crop on every acre, and to do this"
heavy fertilization is necessary. La
bor, too, will probably be higher
priced than ever before in southern
history, and we cannot afford to waste
it oh low yielding acres. It takes
about as much labor to cultivate an
acre making six nundred pounds of
lint cotton as one making two hun
dred. And because of high priced la
bor there will be more urgent need
fLan ever before for using (modern
labor saving machinery, owned either
Individually or co-operatively."
Let every southern farmer aim at
food and feed crops, bigger gardens
heavy fertilization and ample use or
modern and labor saving tools and
machinery.
