oped. We are furnishing them mar
ket for their products. We are furnish
ing them cheap day labor and the profits
are leaving Tennessee to enrich other
sections OF the country.
Now some things are not pleasant to
contemplate, but we had better analyze
conditions, understand them, and do
what we can to improve them.
While small percentage Of our farm
ers are wide-awake, and proving that
they have the capacity TO profit by their
opportunities, we all know that too
many OF them are clinging to- obsolete
methods OF farming and farm practice
that every year reduces the fertility OF
their farms and makes it harder for
them to provide the comforts and con-
veniences for those dependent upon
them. We know they cannot continue
indefinitely the hopeless struggle. Grad
ually they, too, will sell their birthright
for mess Of pottage, and they will
join the vast army Of day laborers with
little hope OF ever becoming again in
dependent producers.
The value OF Tennessee soils and their
ready response to intelligent treatment
is known. Our climatic conditions and
splendid rainfall are also we'll known.
Capital also knows that men trained in
scientific agriculture can be secured who
can take the neglected land and the
labor that will then have no choice and
rebuild those farms and make them
produce bountiful crops and return good
dividends for the invested capital.
The possibilities OF our soils and adj
vantages of climate and rainfall are too

DELIVERS SERMON
ON cHRIST-S WORK.
DR.. J. E. Stuart breaches in Nash
vile Church.


An eloquent sermon on the Enrich.
ment of Christ's Work" was preached
at the Woodland Street Christian Church
Sunday morning by DR.. ]. E. Stuart, O
Union City, Tenn. DIR. Stuart occupied
the pulpit in the absence OF Elder r,
Lin Cave, pastor Of the church.
The Sunday morning sermon was re-
plete with number of incidents in the
life Of Christ to show how his disciples
and audiences were enriched by his
teachings and works. The speaker drew
vivid picture Of olden times when
Christ was on earth and pleased his
hearers by an exhaustive review OF the
instances in which Christ is said to have
helped the people both materially and
spiritually.
DIR. Stuart declared that Christ en-
riches his followers to-day in like man
ner; that those who believe in him and
try to keep his law are benefited in a
multitude Of ways, and that every ma
terial accomplishment in the world is
due to the influence Of Christ. Regard
ing the spiritual help which we get from
study of the scriptures, DIR. Stuart
said there is more knowledge to be
found in the teachings Of Christ than in
all the books on philosophy and knowl-
edge that have been published.
The strain of pessimism that char
acterized the literary efforts of ancient
philosophers is not to be found in the
works of Christ. said DR.. Stuart. Nash

CUT OFF GIRLS HAIR;
Then He SOLD Wigs
Helpers of Ingenious Berlin Schemer
Were Professional
Husbands.
BUT ONE FELL FOR CUPID

Berlin. March THE police have un-
earthed a bogus marriage bureau which
had been run for the purpose Of obtain
ing a cheap and plentiful supply OF
women's hair. and have arrested and
convicted Isaac Braiman, the chief mover
in the scheme.
He had the ingenious idea Of taking
advantage of the custom among Jewish
girls OF cutting of their hair before
marriage in order that their heads may
accommodate more easily the wig which
is an essential part of a Jewish wife $
attire in Russia. Galicia, and elsewhere.
Braiman had in his pay a number of
rascals who were dressed regardless OF
expense and introduced to the girls as
the sons Of wealthy merchants. After
the wedding the husband usually dis
appeared. in order that he might renew
the same trick in other towns.
Not only did Braiman receive commits
sion for the marriages arranged, but he
sold at a big profit the hair bought
cheaply from . le deluded women, and he
would still be reaping a harvest but for
the fact that one of the mock husbands
fell in love with his intended victim and
denounced the whole plot.
The ingenious trafficker in marriages
and hair is now under lock and key for
ten years. and has been ordered to pay
compensation in so actions for damages
by the women he duped.

MUSEUM TO Protect
Chinese ART works
Celestials Hit on This Step to Stop
Rapid Expectation of Treasures
of Republic.
HAVE NUCLEUS FOR COLLECTION

Pckin, March IA proposal has been
made to establish a national art museum
in Pekin TO conserve Chinese works of
art, many fine specimens of which have
been shipped TO Europe and America.
The Chinese are becoming alarmed at
the rapid leakage OF their ancient art
treasures and wish to stop the devasta-
ton before II is too late.
Recently a quantity of ancient paint
ings. beautiful old porcelain, colored
screen. and a hundred cases of jade.
reached Pekin from the Jehol Summer
Palace. At present these treasures are
housed in the Wuying hall of the palace.
and it is suggested that. with those from
the old palace in Mukden they would
form a substantial nucleus for museum.
1t is felt that unless the princeless
specimens OF early art that are scattered
about the country are collected together
at once future generations will have to
go abroad to inspect the crafts of their
forefathers
