SOUTH MUST FEED ITS OWN PEOPLE Peril is Pointed Out by Secretary Ously if The South Lags ' IN MAKING ALL WE NEED FOR OWN USE Demand Cannot be Exceeded for Food Stuffs of All Kinds. "If the South neglects this year to provide her own food and feed, she is likely to suffer serious privation, ahd she will put a burden upon th? Nation which may prolong the war and even imperil our victory," say > Clarence Ouslcy, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. "I am aware that these are strong ' words," continues Secretary Ousley, "but they are none too strong. I am r?ot expressing an alarmist persona! opinion. T am seen g through tin -eyes of 4S agricultural colleges ami of county agents in ne arly ev? ry agricultural county. 1 have recently crossed the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I have studied the reports gathered by the department's 18,000 representatives and as many more employees of the agricultural colleges. 1 have considered the conclusions of the lnt( i national Institute of Agriculture at Home, which has reports from all the world. Humanly Impossible to Exceed Hern and. "The plain, hard truth is that with 40,000,000 people withdrawn from productive industries and engaged in the business of destruction, it is n-?t nuiuuuiy pussiuitJ iui pixmucuon on tho whole to exceed normal demand. The question is whether production can equal necessities demand. "England, France and Italy must ho sustained or their population can not stand the strain. They have been en scanty rations for more than three years. JThe chief cause of Russia's collapse was hunger. Soldiers can | not fight when their wives ami children are starving". Transportation May Re Lacking "Secretary McAdoo has given warn ing that transportation may be lacking in 1018, to haul food and feed to States and communities that do not provide for themselves. Many cattle tiaye been sacrificed in the drought .regions of tho Northwest and the Southwest during the last few months, because railroad cars could r.ot be obtained as needed. Military movements must have first consider- j aticrn, and military movements will be j 'greater in 1918 than in 1917. The I prime question for the farmer is not! r hat product will 1 ng the highest j price, but what products will insure' food for his family and feed for his live stock, and the answer is: A vegetable garden, a milk cow, a brood sow, a poultry flock; ample corn, oats peanuts, etc., and then as much cotton or tobacco as he can cultivate' 1 t i' V J I, v "It Is the 1il|?*liowt demand of patriotism it is the first requirement of living- that in 1 !>18 every State, every county, every neighborhood, every farmer, he as nearly self-sustaining' as possible. No 'l ime (o Gamble. 'Tor the South to plunge on cotton or tobacco or any Other speculative crop and to depend upon the corn holt or bread and meat will he for thn South to engage in a gamble whi *h may cause privation to its people ard disaster to tho Nation. For any man now to determine his business operations from the standpoint of profil alone, without regard to the Nation's needs, is for him willfully to profitee in the blood of his fellows who ar< fighting in France for the proserva tion of the Republic. No man can l>< excused for not taking his share o the responsibility. "My whole life has been spent ii the South. I know the southern fan cr. He will do his duty as he see it. I am appealing to every man i the South to make known those fact ? lO consjfier it him wurMiHra^ I'J man them known?and 1 shall have n doubt of the results. If they are n( made known in a way to impress tli crisis that confronts us, there may Y hunger in this bounteous land hunger over yonder in Europe, whei it will spell ruin for all that is worl while in America." ? o The New York assembly by a vo i '1 n to 3.r> decided to defer aetic indefinitely on all pending prohifc lion bills. YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN! Cincinnati authority tells ho* to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with finjers. You corn-pestered men anil women need, suffer no longer, wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because at few drops of freezonc applied directly on a tender, aching com or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be I'ftcd out, root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezonc cost very little at any drug- store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any frcer.one tell him to got a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.?adv?(4) o COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.

Enormously long 'ambulance trains are passing through Ficge and Namur, Belgium, on their way to Aix-la-Chappeile and other raits of Germany v illi wounded men from the French battle front, according* to The Tclegraaf frontier coirespondcnt. Many of the wounded have been detrained at Namur, says the correspondent, who adds that the hospitals m Northern France have not sufficient accomodations for the great j stream of sufferers. The Telgeraaf Sevenar correspondent says the first transports with wounded have arrived at frontier towns. Commenting on this fact, The Tclegraaf says that while the German communications speak of the light German losses, it is significant that even in the most out of the way places in cierniany wuunueu are arriving. | Better Farming A. 2 ' ' H ,, /!$$& -sK JOT| ; '**. * i3^vL : ^ Y v ^ -*a^SS5?|^^ ^ '^ ( \ / f/? * /r ;; - Witt The America Kill The Kai f Chas.

AEROPLANE WORK UNDER INQUIRY Washington. Investigation into delay in the aeroplane program was begun by the senate military committee today behind closed doors after several days of discussion in the senate which culminated in the assertion by Senator Overman of North Carolina, that part of the trouble was due to German spies in the Curtis plant which has extensive contracts. Members of the committee were pledged to secrecy and Chairman Chamberlain announced that no statement would be issued until the inquiry had been completed. Maj. Gen. George O. Squier, chief of signal officer, and Colonel Deeds, of the aviation branch were the first witnesses culled. They remained with the committee nearly four hours. The committee plans to hear tomorrow Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. Senator Overman furnished Chairman Chamberlain with the names of his informants, so they can be called. I lis speech followed several days of heated debate during which it wa> charged that instead of having by -July 1, 12,000 airplanes in Fiance <r oady for shipment that number would total enl\ M7 and that the Air. riean airplane was 90 days behind schedule. .<v nntor Overman said although lie would make no charge against any tne employed ot the Curtis concern tin re were spies there and wore no . cretary of war ho would commands or the plant and put in new employees. \ niotalic brace used in the ; or., truction of airplane frames from which a piece ot metal had been i ">_ moved and lead inst rled so as to weaken it, was exhibited hv the senator as a sample of spies' work. The first machine tested at the plant fell, he said, and investigation showed that this tampering had been the cause. The decision to conduct the inquiry behind closed doors was reached by the miltiary committee after a number of members had urged this plan in order to permit the committee to inquire fully into the situation without the necessity of guarding agui.isl ^closure of military secrets. * in the South i jL W Y . <>' i WL n rarmer ser's Wolf Famine r, Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. dependent upon this country, a ful , union.

Among those most in demand is the now famous "toasted" cigarette? LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this favorite brand have been shipped to France. There is something homelike and friendly to the boys in the ' sight of the familiar green packages ; with the red circle. This homelike, appetizing quality of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is largely due to the fact that the Burley tobacco used in making it has been toasted. "It's toasted" was the "slogan" that made a great success of LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year. Now the American Tobacco Co. is making 15 million LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes a day. A good part of this immense production is making ivs way across the water ? cheer our boys. FIND GERMANSPYS IN AIRPLANE PLANT Newark. N.

The police say a search of their room here disclosed the blue prints. She told her story cf German spies in the Curtiss plant after being questioned by Inspector Corbally, who immediately notified the federal authorities. Ainoldi was formerly employed .t the Curtiss Plant an an assistant superintendent. Mrs. White defended him, and said, according to the po'ice, that her husband had sought t? have her sign a statement implicu nig Arnoldi as a spy. This Whi. dc nied.
