A System of Transfers.

Somebody must cook and some
body must serve. Otherwise all of
US would have to do the thing for
ourselves, and then all of our eff
forts would be taken up in the
search for food and we would be
reduced to the occupation of the
cave man.
Civilization is a great system Of
transfers. Each one does the thing
he can do best and works for the
good of all.
1t is all for each and each for all.
There is just one way for us to
abolish the working class, and that
is to join it.
So any man who does a needed
service for humanity should be hon
ored. There are no mental tasks.
The necessary is the worthy, and
the useful is the sacred.

It Gives Information.

To this argument we make no
exception. but to the assumption
that all advertising is economic
waste a demurrer must here be en-
tered.
Advertising is telling who you
are, where you are, and what you
have to offer the world In the way
of service or commodity.
If nobody knows who you are, or
what you have to offer, you do no
business. and the world is the
loser through giving you absent
treatment.
Life is too short for the consumer
to employ detectives to ferret out
merchants who have the necessities
of life to sell. People who want to
buy things do not catch the seller,
chloroform him and cram the or
ders into his pocket.
Parties who want milk should not
seat themselves on a stool in the
middle of the field in hope that the
COW will back up to them.
We are part and particle of each
other, but little of the kindly glue
of human brotherhood is needed in
order to fasten us together

HAMILTON PARKS SAYS M'MiL-
LIN IS WEAKER THAN
TAYLOR.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 6--According to
Hamilton Parks, Sr., president OF the
Frank Cheatham Bivouac, Confeder-
ate Veterans, Gov. Hooper will be
reelected this year by larger ma
jority than two years ago. Mr.. Parks
is of the opinion that Benton McMil-
line is aconsiderably weaker candi-
date than Robert L. Taylor was. He
says that Taylor was the most popu-
lar man to go before the voters in
many years, and that If he could not
prevail no other regular can.
In speaking of the lining up Of Gen.
J. H. Mcdowell. of Memphis, with the
Roosevelt third termers, Mr. Parks
stated that this would have no .nflu-
ence on the Confederate vote. He
said that Gen. Mcdowell had made
many changes politically and that the
only Confederate vots that he would
take to the Bull Moose party would
be his own.
