The value of farm pro ducts in i he United States for 101-1 was $9,872,93(5.001). This was $83,000,000 in excess of all past records, notwith standing the falling off of $300,000,000 in the value of the cotton crop because of tho European war. After all, the farmer is the backbone and stay of the country. He is our most important ns well as our most independent citizen. Now that he is getting fair prices for ins corn and cattle, even though there is a temporary drop in cotton, his pros perity runs neck and neck with his de serving. There is a fresh declaration of independence set forth in the “back to the land” movement.—Philadelphia Record. MANY DISORDERS COME FROM LIVER Are Yon Just at Odds With Your self?

A CCORDING to the Commission For Relief In Belgium, the American pco- /wt pie will probably have to feed the Belgian people all tills winter. "\Ve JwjL- 1,11 ve b'keu pains to investigate," said one ot' the commissioners last week, "and the host informed Europeans tell us that there will be no change in I he military situation this winter. It means that we must keep up the work until spring breaks or longer." it Ims been a race with hunger, this business of feeding 6.500,000 people with supplies gathered a half a world away. All Belgium depends on Ameri can food. Half of Belgium Is never more than a week ahead of starvation. Often Ii has come closer than that. Once the province of Limbourg, remote and hilly, was starving. In some communities the people had not eaten for two days, when one of our United States consuls managed to borrow from the Germans enough bread to keep the people alive until an American shipment drived to repay the loan. Once Captain Lucey, the shipping agent in Holland, had to borrow 10.000 tons of wheat from the Dutch government. Liege and. Hanmie and historic Ghent were crying for bread, and it was still several days before the next American ship was due at Rotterdam. This was a noble thing for Holland to do since the Dutch themselves are short on food. Yes; it is a race with hunger, and America, now that she has faced the starter, must win! This is America’s great and glorious part in the world war of 1914-15. That every American may have a personal chance to help some Belgian the Commission For Relief In Belgium has arranged its “parcel post plan.” Any one who wants to send a package containing between twenty and fifty pounds of nonperishable food need only put a tag on the package, address the tag to the nearest collection depot of the commission, stamp it in the regular way and drop it in the mail chute. If the giver puts on the package tag his name and address. TOGETHER WITH THE LETTER "II,” the money be has spent for stamps will be refunded. Packages mailed from GEORGIA should be addressed to BELGIUM RELIEF COMMITTEE, WAREHOUSE 14. HOUSTON STREET, ATLANTA, who are collecting agents for this district.
