Won't You9

AS a representative Of the U. D.
G. of Dresden, and in behalf of the
Chapter, | am asking every man
and woman in the county to join
with us in making June 7 the
greatest day in the history Of
Weakley county.
This is the first time the county
as a whole has had an opportunity
to do honor to the Confederate
soldier. The monument is to be
dedicated to the Confederate
soldiers of the county. 1t is for
all alike, and everyone who loves
and honors the memory OF the
men who donned the gray should
be present and assist in making
the day one of halIowed memory.
Senator Luke Lea and Congress-
man Finis j. Garrett will speak
for US.
The parade will form on the
public square at 11:15a. M, and
march to the depot to meet the
11:45 train, which will bring Sena-
tor Lea and other guests.
This may be the last time we
will have an opportunity to do
honor to the faithful Old Guard
who wore the gray. Never was a
drawer or more chivalrous band of
men that went forth to do battle.
The annals of history give no
account Of a drawer army. The
boosted soldiers Of Wellington, the
charge Of the Light Brigade nor
the famous stand Of the Old Guard
at Waterloo shows no more bravery
or heroism than did those soldiers
who follwed Lee, Jackson and
Forrest,
Let's honor them, boysI-King

NOW is THE TIME TO ACT

Before the campaign becomes active and judgement be-
comes affected by self-interest or prejudice, voters infor-
nation leagues should be organized in all the Counties. The
direct primary law is theoretically perfect. In practice it
lis found faulty. It's purpose is to permit the people To- rule
in fact as we'll as in theory. To make it possible for voters
to act intelligentiy they must have information of an un-
biased and reliable kind. Everybody, almost, favored the
adoption of the direct primary system. Opposition to it
has been growing, since its adoption, largely because those
in Whose interests it was framed do not take advantage of
the privileges it confers. A great amount of energy is
|expended by all party organizations and by all candidates
at heavy expense, but only a mere fraction of the people
vote. The cost of the last primary election to the people
of this county was about $3.50 for each vote cast for the
office of governor. Lack of information lies at the bot
tom of much of this indifference. Elsewhere are a num-
Der of names of candidates for state offices at the last
election, for whom the people voted, and of whom they
knew next to nothing. They apparently sprang from no
where, had apparently no credentials, and were appar-

The brief session held by Congress previous to the holi-
days gives no premoniton of an effective working ses-
sion later. Both parties are evidently already preparing
ready fired give no indication that either side is bent on
any more serious business than to make a frame for a par
|tisan platform next summer.
In view of what is going on in Europe, one would think
that the anxiety of Congress would be to prepare our
country for what may come either through the involve
ments OF war or the changed conditions that will come
with peace.
When peace does come, and it must after a while, then
it seems to us that our institutions will be tried as never
before. Our trade will be as a ship when suddenly the gale
that has been raging suddenly calls in its waring forces.
and the ship is left without steerage-way, tumbling amid
still angered pillows.
Has any statesman ever tried to compute how many men
Iwould be thrown out of work, were peace proclaimed to-
morrow? When they are joined by thousands from the
|old world, coming to us for labor and bread, what then?
What should this congress do? We would say: make a
swift revision of the tariff and enable all manufacturers
Ito resume work.

and covered with a board served as a seat for one Of the
larger pupils; a stove minus three legs, proped up with
stones, these are samples of the equipment. With tools
brought from the homes needed furniture was made; cook
ing utensils were borrowed from the parents, and later
were donated, only fifty cents having been paid out by the
school for this purpose. Listlessness has become attention
on the part of the pupils; discipline has improved, and an
Indifferent school has been placed in the very front rank,
all because a teacher had an ideal. What this little, poorly
equipped school can do, any school in the state can do. In
stead of cold lunches and undressing lessons, real live
schools can be made. Every school trustee and every par
ent who received last weeks Press, it is hoped, read Miss
Skartvedts paper printed in last weeks issue, and resolved
to bring their own school up to the same standard.

which a fair knowledge of all candidates could reach the
voting public. The life histories of candidates should be

When this is done voters will be able to choose their candi
dates with intelligence, and a higher standard of official
service will result. No business firm would think for
a moment of selecting it's trusted employees with as little
investigation as to honesty or fitness as the people employ
in selecting their candidates for office. Now is a good
until the heat of battle beclouds the vision.

SHE HAS STARTED SOMETHING.

Miss Lola S~kartvedt, a teacher in the Crystal district
has started something that will be of great benefit to the
schools Of the county, something which should spread
throughout the state. That something is the serving OF
something hot for the MONDAY lunch. This involved the
teachinr Of domestic science, and that led to manual train
ing through the necessity of providing needed equipment.

school could well be for the introduction OF such things,

LEAVES COMPETITORS BEHIND


SILVER CITY. N. NJ. Aug. z.-Ever'
since the first automobile came to Silver
City motorists have bucked the long sand
grade Of Church hill Several months ago
Silver City was startled by a challenge
from dealer in a widely advertised car.
The challenge stated the dealers desire
TO post 800 as soon as any other COM
petitor would do likewise. The two would
then repair TO Church hill and the 500
would pass to the one that could go far
thast up the grade
A week ago J. A. Smith bought a 1916
Maxwell. Smith drove his car a few days
and late one afternoon ascertained that
the 800 proposition still stood and COW
cred It. The trial was booked for that
evening.
MAXWELL Makes the start.
BY agreement. the Maxwell was to
make the first trial. Smith took long
start and tore up the fret part Of the
incline in second gear. Just before he hit
the sandbeds Smith shifted into first. He
charged Buckley at lively gait; Cactus
Charlie leaped into the mesquite just in
time. Then he started In pursuit, yelling
like demon and losing ground at every
jump. The Maxwell slowed down at the
last sasd spot. but carried through to
the harder going near the top and at the
peak was actually gathering speed.
The other car essayed the hill in first
gear from the start and at a steadier
speed. 1t plowed through the lower
stretches OF sand in good shape. also ex-
celled the best performance prior to the
contest. but began to move jerlily in the
heavy going nearer the end and stopped
with about twenty feet OF sand stu to
navigate.
Tho second and third attempts fell short
Of the first. An effort to rush the lower
hill on second speed as the Maxwell had
done resulted in disaster when a quick
shift into first was tried. Buckley turned
the 500 over to Smith and the Maxwell
rolled down, unuuestioned champion OF
