THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS We quote the following words from [ the President's speech to the Senate ! on the occasion of breaking off nego' tiations with the German government. "Notwithstanding this unexpected action of the German government, this sudden and deeply deplorable re ui us assurances, given this government at one of the most critical moments of tension in the relations of the two governments, I refuse to believe that it is the intention of the German government to do what they have warned us they will feel at liberty to do, I can not bring myself to believe that theywill indeed pay no regard to the ancient friendship between their people and our own or to the solemn obligations, which have been exchanged between them and destroy American ships and take the lives of American citizens in the wilful prosecution of the ruthless naval programme they have announced their intention to adopt. Only actual overt acts on their part can make me believe it even now. "If this inveterate confidence on my part in the sobriety and prudent foresight of their purpose should unhappily prove unfounded; if Ameri can snips and American lives should in fact be sacrificed by their naval commanders in heedless contravention of the just and reasonable understanding of international law, and the obvious dictates of humanity I shall take the liberty of coming again before the congress to ask that authority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our people in the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas. I can do nothing less. I take it for granted that all neutral governments will take the same course. "We do not desire a hostile conflict with the imperial German government. We are the sincere friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace with the government which speaks for them. We shall not believe that they are hostile to us unless and until we are obliged to believe it; and we purpose nothing more than the reasonable defense of the undoubted rights of our peopl" "vve wish to serve no selfish ends. We seek merelv t#i I stand true alike in thought and in ac. -tion to the immemorial principles of our .people which I have sought to I express in my address to the senate J only two weeks ago?seek merely to ? vindicate our rights to liberty and i justice and an unmolested life. These J are the bases of peace, not war. God ? grant that we may not be challenged I to defend them by acts of wilful inJ justice on the part of the government l of Germany." { It is doubtful if the principles upon J which the American civilization rests I have ever been better stated. It is inJ conceivable that there should in all J this broad land be a single dissenting l voice raised against this bill of Ameri| can Rights, as propounded by our > 'great President. I ?? THE BOLL WEEVIL IN CONGRESS The b?>U weevil has actually gotten into Congress and would be a blessing to the country if it were confined there. Hon. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, made an enlightening speech in Congress recently in which he asked justice for the cotton planter in legislation and in which he referred to the boll weevil menace. Mr. Heflin said the cotton crop would be small this year and next on account of the boll weevil. Some of the Eastern members were favoring an embargo upon cotton, not permitting the shipping of cotton out of the country. Of course that would be fine for the Eastern cotton mills. Mr. Heflin reminded his hearers that in 1914 when Southern Congressmen were pleading for relief for cotton planters on account of conditions created by the war, Eastern Congressmen said it was a situation over which they had no control and that we would have to grin and bear it. HI- TT /! ? mr. ileum explained that so far nothing has been discovered that distroys the boll weevil, but the Department of Agriculture has found that by certain cultural methods you can produce some cotton under boll weevil conditions. This is done by using an early variety, planting early and cultivating rapidly. If we have wet weather in the cotton belt during the months of July and August, it is exceedingly difficult to produce any cotton in the boll weevil section. The boll weevil is spreading rapidly and he will be in new territory this year, and the farmer who produced cotton last year may not be able to produce any this year, but there is one thing certain, if he will hold on to the cotton that he now has he will get a good price for it. 1 ite trouble about that suggestion is, however, that the cotton to a very large extent, has passed out of the hands of the planter and the higher price, to use a slang expression, "cuts no ice with L!-. II , i Jjim, Si is not mmrelylow price. * * 11 I I III M A Tomato Glab Girl Writes Mr. Editor: Will you allow me apace in your valuable paper to express my thoughts on a subject in which I am greatly interested? It is my desire to assist in making our land and country a better place to live in every year. In last week's paper I saw where our demonstration agent, Miss Mims, is coming back soon to begin with her year's work among the girls and women of the cuuniy. i was giau mueeu 10 near 01 her coming. I feel that by her instruction we shall do greater things in the year ahead than we did the past year in our tomato club work. I wish I could urge every girl in our county to join us in our great work this year, and demonstrate to ourselves what we can do by raising DAYS OF DIZZINESS Com* to Hundreds of Chesterfield People.

We only ask you to raise corn, Wheat oats and fodder, poultry an&^eattle and help us grow our vegeUde* and we will have plenty to eat jH)M at home and can get along cotton if necessary. em I would like to that through Miss Mims' hel|M?pn able to raise all the vegetables JIFwill need and believe we can geffiilotig without cotton if Mr. Boll WeeVil gets it. I would like to urge every girl-in the county to, feet a pencil and paper and write to Miss Mims and offer to join her in her great work of making our country free and independent. She will come and show you how to grow *your vegetables and how to can and preserve your fruits and veg euioies. Now is the time to begin to plan our exhibits for the County Fair. Miss Mima said she would help us in Wexford to have a fair of our own, and I am planing to get all the blue and red | ribbons, so come on come on girls, and do Vou best.

We want the people of Courthouse Township to keep this matter in mind, as we intend to keep after it until this station is located somewhere in this county. ffj f f L OlJgT" ~ lT?r ia 1 Iets are Ideal ^ id form no bad habits.

CLIP THIS AND PIN ON WIFE'S DRESSER Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel up corns or calluses so they lift off with fingers. , -r ? V__-?? Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati author, y, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened callus stops soreness at once, and soon the com or callus dries up and lifts right off without pain. He says freezone dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of frezonc will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft com or callus from one's feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inauguration of high heels. If your druggist dosn't have freezone tell him to order a small bot- ^ tie for you.
