Give us glad faces of victory as
we trove among our fellows O
Lord for Thou art the Author of
our faith. Our hearts are fixed on
Thee; and we know that our right-
eous Cause cannot fail because
Thou canst not fail. Quicken our
spirits and our pens to impart con-
fidence and gradness to our fighting
men and all our fellows. Make us
hearteners of the peonle and bear-
ers of cheer and inspiration. So
would we speed the day of triumph
and of peace and of the world's new
awareness of Thee gracious Sover-

is falling nil'. Not only are the upper
classes shrinking lull admissions are
decreasing. The hoys are lured from
their siudie- by the temptation of
abnormally high wages.
If these lads were being utilized
in essential war work or if they were
engaged in work giving theni val-

great majority of them are going iti-
. to occupations classed as nnn-essen-Itial;
and worse still so far as the
hoys personally are concerned they
i are taking jobs that demand tin skill
; and offer no future.
It happens that unskilled lahor at
i present is in such demand that it
obtains pay out of proportion to the

IN GERMANY'S OWN COIN.
In tin- I'ranco-I'iii ssiati war
w hen (he i Ierman
had
ui't'oiinil
iM a
and
great French army
France asked for an
at Sedan
armistice.
marck replied :
"(lennaiiy desires to promote
II
re-estahlishnienl of peace. The best
means nf assuring il is to ilcpruc
I'ranco of her army."
That same policy is far more ap-
plicable today than it was in 1SI).
At that time (iermany was not
obliged to annihilate her enemy's
arms in order to re-establish peace
because iermany herself was the
real aggressor and France would
have submitted to an honorable
peace. Now. we know that then-
is absolutely no way of insuring
to ourselves and the world except
annihilating tiernian military pow-
er. e therefore do (Iermany the
honor of adopting HUniarck's for-
mula. W e find that his own words
fit the picscnt situation better ihan;
any we could devise ourselves. We
"desire to promote Ihe re-establish-j
ment of peace." and "the best means '
of assuring it is to deprive t Iermany ;
of her army." j

There is a good deal in that as
jj' you discover when you have got it
pat and imiinated over it a while.
The German people whom it most
-nearly and powerfully concerns.

''studv it and figure out its applica-
ei !tion.
To them it means revolution.

tion is their concern not ours. It
means the elimination of their auto-
cratic millitary government that
is to say government by an army
with one man at the bead. It means
concretely the elimination of Kaiser
Wilhclm as the representative of
ih.it system.
The German people have got to
choose between their kaiser and Ger-
many. If they stick to Wilhclm
or in kaiserisui represented hy any
other man. Germany will be de-
stroyed. We are fighting for the de-
struction of "arbitrary power" and
must destroy everything that asso-
ciates itself with such power and
supports it instead of helping to
destroy it.

It can be followed anywhere ad-

the battle of civilization. Men and

sartorial standards are reversed.
If anybody is to feel ashamed it
is the person who needlessly wears

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.
The campaign for political con-
trol of congress is now in full
swing. The Democrats argue that
a change would affect the condi-
tions within the administration
which iie'ike for harmonious co-
operation in all branches of the
government for the successful con-
duct of the war; that it would un-
favorably affect the president's
prestige and his moral strength as i
leader of the allied forces and that I
it would be hailed by the enemy a.-.
evidence of lack of confidence and!
support of the president's war pol- !
icies on the part ot the American
people. The Republicans aigue
that the president is not aggressive
enough that he is too slow in ac-
tion and that a Republican con
gress would mean a more vigoroi:
prosecution of ihe war and a guar-
antee against an inconclusive peace.

giiments. Which will have

Remarkable Achievements of
Wholesale Groceryman In Raising
Livestock and Farm Products
J. R. Pennington Raises Exceptionally Fine Duroc-Jerseys
by Methods Acquired From Practical Experience-
Astonishing Results in Raising Potatoes by Thor-
ough Cultivation Has Prize Winning Chickens and
Hogs on 1200-Acre Farm Near Ardmore Enthusi-
astic Supporter of National Food Administration
Program.
It is indeed unusual to find a
man engaged in commercial pur
suits m the city that is a practical
livestock and farm products raiser.
Ilardlv without an exception where
I ou find a business man farmer the
I farm management is left to some
other man. This is not the cac
jwitli Mr. Pennington for he finds
Itime to look aflerhoih departments
laud the result that he has produced
Ion the farm by close study and ex-
periments is nothing short of
astounding. The w riter found bun j
one ol the mos thorough and prac-
tical fanners in the whole Soiith-
w est .
In relating his experiences he
disclosed information on advanced
methods that are most plausuhlc
land practical. Information that is
not found in the textbooks of the
'agricultural schools of ihe country
in farm journals or other mediums
' ui approved farming and livestock
methods.
Duroc-Jerseys His Hobby.
His hobby if any is the raising
and breeding of high bred I hirnc-
Jersey lings and let it be said right
here that his herd is cnmpo.scd of
individuals with the blood strains
of some of the best and most valua-
ble animals in the whole country.
And the most surprising thing of all
disclosed in his interview is l he fact
lhal these aristocrats have been sold
on the market for pork. Think of
descendants of the famous Model
8 and Long Wonder liell who be-
longs in the $1000.00 individual
being sold on the open market. What
are the farmers in this section
thinking of not to avail themselves
of the opportunity lo start a herd
from this wonderful breed right
here at their door? There is some-
thing radically wrong. They should
not be sold at so much per pound1
but by all means should be bought
hy the winners m tins section in
order to raise the standard of the
ling population.
I!ul before going into the feed
proposition it might be said in pass-
ing thai ihe selection nf the Duroc-
Jersey breed as most adaptable
prolific and profitable in this sec-
tion was reached only after a num-
ber of other breeds had been raised
in the same pen fed the same feed
and received the same treatment by
Mr. Pennington.
While the hundred head of cattle
on the 1.200-acre farm are as yet
high grade the herds are headed by
I w o magnificent animals one a Red
Poll and the other a Polled Dur-
ham both registered and of choice
pedigree. A registered cow and calf
promise to be the nucleus of a fu-
ture pure bred herd.
Naturally the success he has at-
tained in the raising of hogs is large-
ly due to his thorough study of the
proper and greatest result producing
feed and constant experiments. The
results reached by these experiments
have stood the hundred per cent test
with him and should be of inestima-
ble value lo every raiser of hogs in
this section in point of information.

"A run of alfalfa is good" said
Camp Chaplains
( l!y Harvey O'Higgins)
When our citizen soldiers were
first gatherred into camps and can-
toniments in this country there
were of course not enough army
chaplains to provide the new troops
with ' church services and religious
instruction. Camp commanders were
therefore authorized by the war de-
partment to accept in their discre-
tion the services of ministers who
volunteered to visit the men in the
camps and preach to them. At the
same time all the churches of ev-
ery religion and almost every sect
united to cooperate with the army
authorities in training and selecting
their best priests and pastors min
isters ami clergymen anil religious
leaders to wear army chaplains'
uniforms and give their services to
the soldiers here and abroad.
Xow. it has developed that some
of the volunteer camp pastors have
taken advantage of the situation in
ways that must be checked. They
have been guilty 0 "proselytizing"
or circulating "insidious propagan-
da" and of .expressing "indiscret
sympathy with disloyal and dissat-
isfied enlisted men." The war depart-
ment has accordingly decided that
within three months after July 24
1918 the services of camp pastors
shall be limited to the properly ac-
credited camp chaplains to wear
the uniform and whose loyalty and
responsibility are known and guar-
anteed. The order barring unauthorized
religious workers from the camps
has brought a protest from a small
section of the sectarian press al-
though that order was first submit-
ted to the committee of six who ad-
vise the secretary of war upon re
ligious matters and also to the com-j
Mr'. Pennington "but during the
time the pig is growing I consider
a stand of Sudan grass far ahead
of alfalfa. Sudan grass when once
properly rooled is the fastest and
most persistent growing grazing
that T have ever had any experience
with. Fven when it is cropped to
the ground it is only a question of
a day or two before it affords am-
ple feed again. Its dependability
is unusual and the growing pig
thrives on it. As an intermediate
teed. I obtain the best results from
a mixture of short soured syru
and cottonseed meal. Along with
this in the latter part of January I
sow on the same acreage barley
oals cane and rape. This provides
feed both green and grain from the
early spring until about the lirsi of
August The barley starts to grow-
first and the hogs feed on the green
sprounts until it commences to
toughen and grow to a head. The
later begins to toughen and grow
harlev however in the meantime
is followed bv the green oats which'
to a head. The cane and the rape
I in Hie meantime are supplying green
feed and when the barley first ma-
tures in the bead and later the oats
they get the benefit of both green
anil grain feed a mixture that is
practically fattening enough lor
marketing purposes and too fatten-
ing for breeding purposes if ihey are
allowed to run as long as the feed
lasts."
"For all 'round purposes" said
Mr. Pennington on the chicken
question "the I'arred Plymouth
Rock to my judgment is the most
dependable. While they are not as
steady in their laying as some oth-
ers the comparison of weights of
the year's products of the I'arred
Plymouth Rocks with those that
are more prolific will if anything
be in their favor. They are a sturdy
breed good rustlers consistent and
dependable setiers and their devel-
opment in weight for market pur-
poses is not excelled by any
oilier."
400 Bushels of Potatoes to Acre.
"Four hundred bushels of Irish
potatoes to the acre from a con-
servative estimate is what I raised
last year" he stated. "Understand
me however this was not on a large
acreage but on a patch consisting
of seven rows of from "0 to 75 feet
in length each. Our family of
seven together with two of our rel-
atives who were living with us nine
in all ate all the potatoes that were
used in our home from the time
they were large enough to serve un-
til digging time and then I sold
two sacks of them and had enough
potatoes left to last us until along
in Xovember."
This is bow he accomplished it:
He put bis man to work with a one
horse plow with instructions to
break the ground as deep as be
could possibly get the plow to bite.
In making the furrows for plant
this same plow was used set so that
it went into ihe ground clear up
to the beam. Then this same opera-
tion was repeated in the same fur-
row leaving allowing for the dirt
that fell back into the furrow a
mission on training camp activities
and approved by both. The object-
ors declare that the order "strikes
at the root of religious liberty." With
a rare misunderstanding of the sit-
uation they complain that the gov-
ernment is "trying to prescribe what
soldiers should hear and what thev
should believe." And they are be
ing encouraged by those pro-German
sympathizers who have been so
busily stirring up religious differ-
ences and sectarian strifes in this
country in order to impair our na-
tional unity and set us fighting each
other instead of fighting Germany.;
The order is plainly an exercise I
of necessary military authority of
the simplest sort. It is directed'
against no religion any more than ;
the order that only military medical!
officers shall practice in camp is I
directed against any school of med-
icine. It strikes at religous liberty
no more than the proscription of
unauthorized orators in camp strikes
at liberty of thought. It is neces-
sary for the maintenance of military
discipline for the protection of the
camps against German agents and
propagandists and for the military
control oi military areas. The only-
persons who could reasonably ob-
ject to it would be the disloyal and
disaffected who find themselves shut
out from an opportunity to insti-
gate disloyalty and encourage dis-
affection where these would be most
dangerous to a successful national
defense.
At least 1.500.000 persons in the
United States are drug addict of
whom 1.000.000 are known as such

depth of about fourteen incnes.
The notatoes were then planted and
the furrows leveled with a garden
rake leaving the seed potato at an
average depth of twelve inches.
Later the patch was hilled at an or-
dinary height and the soil again
leveled. This was all the cultiva-
tion this patch received. It was
then left to work out its own yield.
"Don't expect your potatoes to
grow at any greater depth than
that of the original seed for it does
not occur" he stated. "That is my
reason for having plenty of depth
at the original planting. It allows
plenty of room for all ihe potatoes
to grow ;yid make a hill of the pro-
portions that nature intended it to.
In other years I found many under-
sized potatoes and many that had
not grown at all for lack of room
and this decided me trying a
greater depth. 1 know now how my
potatoes will be planted hereafter."
Here is another example to fol-
low. It takes a little more time and
a little more work but surely the
results warrant even more by fat
added effort. This as can be plainly
seen has also been worked out along
the Hues of sound and practical rea-
son. Conservation Should Be Uppermost
"Conservation." he added with
emphasis "should be the uppermost
and continuous thought of every
line American citizen no matter
how small the item might be. It i-
not an indication of closeness or
more commonly expressed stingi-
ness but lo the contrary is a sacred
patriotic duly that no one should
evade or overlook through negli-
gence. Xegligcnce in this connec-
tion is nothing short of crime. Ev-
ery ounce that can be used for feed
or food that is allowed to go to
waste is taking just that much away
from our boyy over there and our
allies who have stood the most try-
ing limes imaginable in order that
we may have plenty."
It is surprising that there are men
on farms in Carter County who
complain of the uncertainty and
poor returns from their agricultural
efforts when there is such a guid;
as J. R. Pennington to advise them
of methods which have invariably
proven profitable. Raise pure bred
hogs use nothing but registered
bulls diversify crops and follow the
practices which have been proven
most successful by untiring and ex-
haustive experiments and if success
will not have been reached the
trouble lies in the man.
