Compulsory Education.

see In Fridays issue an opposition
to compulsory school laws and II the
Editor does not object | wish TO express
my views on the subj 'ot. will just
take the liberty 10 say that what we
need most Is compulsory school laws.
There is every day an increasing de-
mand for educated men aid women,
and especially men. II we had com.
pulsory school law in Tennessee we
could come nearer filling the demands.
Our boys and girls would not grow up
in ignorance living In a mile or two Of
school. Some say the boys cannot be
spared for six months out of twelve
They are kept at home one or two
months for farm work and when farm
work is over perhaps some ready money
is needed which necessitates their re-
naming -oat-of school another month,
by the time the third or fourth month
Of school is reached the child is not
interested in starting to school and if
he does start can not go with the class
that has not missed school. Therefore
he does not try as he might, soon lags
behind and finally stops altogether.
This may not be.the case with girls
as most parents think their girls should
be educated and so they should be, but
no more than the boys
This year Lawrence County called
for more men teachers than could be
supplied and Lawrence and every other
County are calling for more competent
workers. Every newspaper you pick
up you may see an advertisement for
some man or woman to work but it is
always an educated one.
! If tits only "a farmer or a railroad
man wanted he is called who has an
education. And Rambler if you hap
pen to be young man you surely
haven't any sweetheart or she would
long ago have inspired you with higher
ideals, or If you are married man |
wonder how many boys you have and
wish to keep at home to work. You
may keep them at home now but if you
do not give them an education you viii
find they viii not stay there when they
are nineteen or twenty. Home ork is
all right and should be encouraged and
. taught but if you wish to keep home as
it should be put some education into it
If every father would strive to give hi
children an education there would b.
no need for compuIsion, but as long a
children are kept at home from the ag
of ten to twenty to work, say give u
laws to insure the education of ou
country.
Is am personally acquainted with
family who lived in one hundred yards
of school and church. The children
we're not sent to school and neithe
parents nor children attended church
If they had been forced to send tn
y childrento school they would likel
have been found at church also
g Rambler says men should be allowe
/ to vote on the laws governing schools
think man who is willing to den
e his children an education should not b
4 allowed to vote at all.
Now | wish to ask you to get out an
N learn something of what men and VIC
men need an education for and get tn
moss off your back.

The great white plague leaves no nation on the earth untouched by It's scourge of death, and wide as the world Is the fight which is being made upon this dread disease. On Novem- Der 14 next there will meet in New York city, for three days session. the doctors and scientific men of both hemisphe-es who have entered the fight against this great destroyer. tu- berculosis.
 Secretary Root, of the state depart ment, last May sent out request to all the diplomatic officers of the Unit ed States. asking them to reinforce the invitations delivered by the ex- ecutive committee of the American International Congress on Tuberculo- ais to the various nations to send off, ciai representation to this next ses. sion of the congress.
 In response to this communication the United States diplomats in this hemisphere and in Europe have suc- ceeded in enlisting the interest of medical and scientific men in what promises to be one of the greatest medico-sanitary campaigns of history. Responses daily received by Acting Secretary Bacon, in Washington. and by managers of the congress in New York indicate that Europe as well as South and Central America will be ably represented.
 So vast and vital Is the scope of this international conference that

 Next to such dwellings, special sanitariums. under certain conditions, form the greatest danger for the az. gravation and dissemination of con. sumption. Thousands of patients, en. toying many hygienic advantages at home, are bundled on to sanitariums and return in miserable condition, or not at all. Experience teaches that the older sanitarium the more dan. serous 1t is for patients, attendants and the community in winch it is To- cated.

Memphis Youth Is Lost In MIssissIppI Cane Bottoms and Has . TerrIfy. Ing Time.

1, Memphis, Tenn.-Lost for twenty.
 four hours in bleak Mississippi
 canebreak. and for over twelve hours
 in tree seeking safety from numer- ous wild beasts which besieged him, Bert Lancaster, of Memphis, had an experience which he is not likely to forget.
 , Lancaster, together with a compan- ion, Billy Shea, recently returned from what Is commonly termed a "pleasure outing trip" However. they do not refer to their escapade in the same happy phrasing, particularly Lancaster, who was made victim because of his ignorance of wood craft. He is exhibiting to friends myriads of mosquito bites, and em- phatically discouraging hunting in the land made famous by President Roosevelt a few years ago.
 Lancaster and. Shea sought the Mississippi canebrake for several days pleasure in hunting and fishing, and incidentally to recuperate from the stern realities of business. They went with all the necessary paraphernalia, and, because of the wildness and wooliness of the region, carried along in addition guide. Camp was pitched they were fairly successful hunting and fishing. and everything went along smooth until the fourth cay rolled around and completely altered all their. plans.
 It was late in the afternoon of that day when Bert Lancaster decided to go squirrel hunting. Accompanied by his guide, Lancaster walked about three miles from the camp, when the guide left him, after admonishing him to keep close to large lake in the vicinity, which had been fixed upon by all as good landmark.
 For some time the ambitious nim- rom obeyed instructions. but being beckoned on by good luck, and bag ging many squirrels, he went further from the lake than he intended. When he started to return the shades of night were beginning to thicken. and he was not entirely sure of his way. The imp of the perverse changed his course, and he began walking in circle. This maneuver he continued until he came to complete realiza- tion of the situation.
 To be lost in Mississippi bottom after nightfall is enough to give the most stout-hearted rigors. Bears there are and plenty of catamounts in this territory, and everyone ac- quainted with the latter knows him

POPCORN FOR sEAsICKNEss.

It Is not generally known that pop corn is one of the best remedies for nausea caused by seasickness or car sickness. In one case known to the writer a lady starting on on over land Journey of several days duration was before many hours had passed attacked by the usual symptoms She decided to try the new remedy. what ever 1t might be, that she had been assured she would find in good sized box that had been given her at her departure.
 Although rather incredulous, the traveller tried the popcorn she found In the box, and to her qualification the nausea gradually disappeared She ate freely of the corn every day whenever there was the slightest in- dication of nausea, and thanks to this simple precaution the Journey was accomplished with an unwonted de- gree of comfort.
