PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE.

Whitwell people are showing that
tbev are made Of the right kind OF
Gtuff. Last week they had a general
clean up of theil town, and enthusi-
esm ran 40 high that at rousing
meeting of their Business Mems Assoc
citation Thursday night, they deter
mined to apply to the County Com
missioners for the use OF the rock
crusher in their section. pledging that
il the county will put the crusher at
work in their town and crush $1,000
worth Of rock, they will furnish wag-
ons and teams and put il OF the roads.
The T G, I. & r. r. Co. has offer-
ed quarry free for the purpose.
Those are the kind Of ''get-togeth-
err movements that make one feel
that life is worth living. This beats
the efforts Of county officials to place
taxes on fair and equitable basis, In
order TO secure those benefits of good
highways and good schools which peo'
ple desire. For the people to unite
and accomplish such work IL Q
shorter, quicker and cheaper method
OF getting at 1t.
We hope the Road Commissioners
will sec to it that the Whitweli people
get their desire in the matter, Inc
fact OF il is that the pike never hAs
reached Whitwell vet. IL 10 mention
ed az going to the depot crossing at
Whitwell, but it really leaves of Of
the Little Sequachee Bridge, north Of
this place. The road was graded and
laid of in some places anew, and q
very poor quality Of ebert put on 1t.
in fact, a large amount Of money has
been spent on it. One Of the reasons
why the road is not better is because
people who had fine beds Of ebert re-
fused to sell il except at an exorbitanf
figure, so we understand, and thus
stood in their own light. The road
question means SO much in this coun-
ty to everybody that no one citizen
should hold back the enthusiasm OF
others, when by his help a great deal
can be accomplished. It is time for
every one to put his shoulder to the
wheel in the good roads movement. Ii
personal effort is not made towards the
building of good roads, they will have
to. be built by the bonds system, which
is very expensive. aud is putting too
much money in the hands OF other
people for the mere use Of their mon
ey.

COUNTY COURT HAS OPPOR'
TUNITY.

The County Court which meets Mon
day has great opportunity to assist in
securing the Dixie Highway thru this
county. 1t is not now a question OF
$500, 900 bonds. an issuance which will
not be stood for by the people. but a
business. like arrangement of resources
towards the end desired.
In the first place, If the Dixie High
way passes thru this county. 1t must
mass over mora or less completed road,
and the road funds for these complet-
ed roads will be available as q nucleus
around which to build a Dixie High
way Fund.
In the second place. the Acts OF
1918, page AT, give county courts au-
thority to raise funds without appeal
ing to the Legislature. and possibly
$50, 900 can be raised in this manner
by special tax. which would be very
little increase in tax rate.
Besides this. the County Court
should call for any outside assistance
possible. This latter should be placed
in the hands of committee of three,
one from each of the three divisions OF
the county, with instructions to solic-
it personal assistance of money or con-
tributed labor, and report to county
Judge at earliest date
All this should be done as quick as
possible, so that Judge Williamson
can get the matter Of what Marion
county is going to do before the COM
missioners appointed by Governor
Rye, and it takes definite propositions
to accomplish anything now. Mir.
James in pushing the route ovei
mountain to Crossville, said that ne
did SO because mono of the other routes
had definite plans. and Monday will
be the time to show that Marion coun-
ty has definite plans. !,

Strickland Murdered on Lonely
Mountain in Alabama.

Huntsville. Ala, April 10 The
local authorities have established to
their own satisfaction the identity of
the man whose bones were found on
the top Of the mountain near Hobbs
Island several weeks ago. His name
was Strickland, and ne came from
Odenville. Ala. In one Of the pockets
of the dead man was a letter which
contained the name of Eula Hard
wick, which furnished the only clu-
that might lead to the identity of the
body. Eula Hardwick was found at
Odenville and she asid that she had q
middle aged cousin named Strickland
who disappeared from home about
Christmas time and had not been heard
from since. There il no doubt that
the man was Murdered. His skull was
thirty feet from the bleaching bone
of his body, and the skull was fractur-
ed in three places. The mountain
where toe skeleton was found is selG-
ON visited by anybody. and the sever
al weeks Of wintry weather that pre-.
vailed from the day of the crime until
the victim was found during the lat
ter part of March. had wiped ont ali
| traces Of the murderer.

A large number Of citizens are dis.
gusted at the forest fires which are
raging around here. An effort will be
made to have the legislature pass a
bill ordering deputy sheriffs to organ
ize posses of citizens and put out for

age Is being done locally. as the woods
have not been fired for some two

this reason, also, there is large

JEWISH CENTER IS

Says Rabbi S. S. WiSe-IS
Opposed to Bigger Navy.

avowed supporter OF Zionism. the

tinct nationality 10 be located 1T or
near Jerusalem. which is now on
foot DR. Wise spoke OF warmth OF
the question Of Zionism and explained
that ZiOnism does not mean. as is Oft
en- Imagined. the return OF all Jews
10 Palestine. but u does mean the re-
creation OF q Jewish center IN the land
of their fathers. which shall AFFORD

Pleased With South Bend.
Or. Wises first impression OF South
Bend was one that reflected very cred
itably on the good Judgment and
social sympathy OF the community.
Dr. Wise explained that Rabbi Cron-

DR.. Wise also paid a very high
tribute TO Rabbi Cronbach. He said:
Il am not surprised TO learn OF the
keenness of South Bends social Wis
ion and the frmness of its grasp upon
social problems in view of the fact
that the community life enjoys the
fine and enlightened cooperation OF a
man distinguished in the American
Jewish ministry for his unusual quail
tiles of mind and spirit"
Or. Wise was eager to speak of the
problem of bigger army and navy
which he considers one of the crucial
a calamity" he said, IF our nation
should suffer itself TO be Gardernized
onto a vast militaristic program at a
time when we must hold ourselves in
readiness to function as the worlds

only If we have kept our hands clean.

again, "and militarism are irrecOncil-

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds
or More.
PhvsIcIan,s Advice.


I'D certainly give most anything 20
be able 10 fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
Eively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements OF food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers Of nutrition are
normal Instead OF getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and 10 pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount OF fat
the nutritiVe processes must be artifi-
Cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can
best be accomplished by eating a Sar-
sol tablet with every meal. Sargol is
q scientific com binatioE OF six OF the
best strength giving. fat-producinS
elements known 10 the medical pro-
fession. Taken with meals, 1t mixes
with the food and turns the sugars
and starches into rich ripe nourish-
ment for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect is remarkable. Reported
gains OF from ten 70 twenty-five
pounds In single month are by no
means intrequent Yet its action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less Sargol is sold by all good drug
Slsts everywhere and every package
contains guarantee OF weight in
crease or money back
CautlOn:-While SargOI has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment or nervous indigestion and gen
eral stomach disorders. II should not,
owing TO It's remarkable flesh produc-
Ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing TO increase their weight
ten pounds or more.

PASSED AWAY
MRS. j. w. HESTON DIED AT II
O'CLOCK THIS FORENOON.

Mrs. Heston, wife of DR.. j. w.
Heston. president of the Madison
State Normal school, died at their
apartments in East Hall at IL o'clock
this forenoon after a prolonged ill
ness. The remains were removed to
their new home in North Egan ave
nue., recently finished, but not occu-
pied on account of Mrs. Heston's ILL
ness. Funeral announcement will be
made later.
Mary Ellen Calder was born in
Harrisburg, Pa, December 2S, 1862.
Her father, DR.. James Calder was
formerly a minister and missionary
to China, but later in life he left the
ministry and entered the field of ed
ucation and was for many years pres
ident of the state agricultural col
lege of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Heston
therefore has spent her entire life in
the atmosphere of education for since
her marriage she has shared the ed
ucational duties of her husband who
has given his entire life to education
al work and nearly all of Ii In execu-
tive service.
Mrs. Heston was married in 1881,
and has thus given thirty-four years
of her life to the duties of wife and
mother. She leaves to mourn her
early departure, not only her husband
and her mother, who is still living
though 81 years of age, but two sons.
Charles, who is an electrical engineer
In Rochester, N. Y. and Edward, who
is a physician in Seattle and Roslyn,
Wash, also a niece to whom she was
much devoted, Miss Small OF Harris
burg, Pa. Miss Small has been with
her aunt during the last two months
OF her illness. Both sons were home
recently and spent over a week visit
ing their parents, DR.. and Mrs. Hes
ton. but as both were holding re-
sponsible positions in far away places
they had to return home before their
mothers death occurred.
Mrs. Heston was a woman of do
nestle disposition, placing the high
est value on home interests and
home duties. She will be remember
ed by many young people in the state
of South Dakota whom she has met In
a social way and encoura ged to strive
for better and higher things. Mrs.
Heston's illness has extended over a
period of several years and may be
readily traced to very unusual ex-
periences forced on her by political
conditions in the state schools some
years ago. Her health was not ro-
bust enough to throw off those pol
sons and she declined in health until
complete breakdown two years ago
brought on conditions which resulted
in her untimely death.

ABERDEEN THRIVES
C. N. HERREID, FORMER Gov
ERNOR OF SOUTH DAKOTA,
SAYS DRY LAW HELPS
BUSINESS.

Minneapolis, Oct. 2.-Prophecies
of the wet element in Aberdeen, ).
D., that business depression would
follow the voting out of the saloons,
have not been fulfilled, according to
Charles N. Herreid, former governor
of South Dakota, who was a Mime
apolis visitor today. He declared
that Aberdeen has been better off fl
nancialy and in every way since the
saloons were closed out July i.
THE readjustment that SO many
feared was not noticed In business
said Mr.. Herreid. Aberdeen is a
rapidly growing. UP to date city. Ii
any city would be injured. a city that
is striving to become a great distriD-
uting center and which is in close
competition with other cities would
be most likely to suffer.
Aberdeen is such a city and bust
ness is better today than 1T was be-
fore the saloons went out. The places
formerly occupied by saloons are
rented to men in other lines of bust
ness and these men are doing a good
business. Business in all lines has
improved. and citizens of Aberdeen
are better off. 1t is certainly better
in morals and there are going to be
more home owner than ever Derore.
with these conditions In Aber-
deem, l certainly have no time TO
listen to speakers who say that Min
neapolis or any other city is going TO
suffer In a business way by voting
the saloons out. Minneapolis Will
not be sorry"
