eve were bounding along"
said a recent traveller on a local
South African single line rail
way, Eat the rate of about seven
miles an hour and the whole
train was shaking terribly. I
expected every moment to see
my bones protruding through
my skin. Passengers were roll
ing from one end of the car to
the other. I held on firmly to
the arms of my seat. Present
ly we settled down a bit quieter !;
at least, I could keep my hat
on and my teeth didn't chatter.
''There was a quiet looking
man opposite me. I looked up
with a CHASTITY smile, wishing
to appear cheerful, and said:
GIVE are going a bit smooth

Yes he said, we're off the
track now

FRIENDLESS BARLEYCORN

Poor old John Barleysorn.
One by one his laurels are
falling from him, his friends
slipping away-the friends who
used to give him their hard
earned money just to be in his
presence.
Not long ago he was a jolly
good fellow. When he entered
cares were cast aside, worries
forgotten and the world became
rosy. Men of prominence in the
worlds affairs slapped him on
the back, called him good
friend and honored him with
golden words Of poetry.
But John played a losing
game one bound to beat him
in the end. Toasts of Tonight"
were drunk with rousing cheers,
forgetful of the tomorrow"
But the "tomorrows" came with
relentless persistency and with
them came the disillusionment.
Employers learned to know the
hangover" look or they were
not long employers. Employees
learned this, and, bowling to eff
ficiency, quit John.
So, now, almost deserted, John

Every Household
TO Have a Chest
of Home Remedies
Home Pharmacist Can Duplicate
Suggested Chest at Small
Cost

Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws, Su-
perintendent of the State Fair
Department Of Public Welfare
says: '"The money wasted in
proprietary medicines by the
average household would more
than equip a really useful home
medicine chest if spent for the
right kind of medicines. Every
home could have a medicine
chest which should be kept
stocked with few essential
home remedies. This should be
for emergency use only, or for
very trifing injuries. These can
be had from your local pharma-
cist; the remedy he sells you
will be fresh and officially reli-
able.
Avoid Peddlers
The travelling medicine pedlar
should not be patronized. Rene
dies with fancy trademark
names and much advertised pro-
prietaries are necessarily expen-
sive; you have to help pay for
all the advertising and for the
high salaried officials of the cor
poration that puts out what is
often fake cure. 1t is best to
use no medicine except on adj
vice of a non-advertising reput-
able physician. Everyone should
have a family physician; he
should be called upon as freely
for advice as for prescriptions.
Otherwise remember that your
local pharmacist can supply you
best from his fresh stock of U.
S. pharmacopia medicines"
A sample household medicine
chest has been prepared for ex-
hibition at the State Fair by
DR.. I. J. Murphy, Sec. of the
Minnesota Public Health Asso-
citation. This can be duplicated
by any druggist for about $500.
It contains: Alcohol, 4 o..

clothing bedraggled, to drink
himself into forgetfulness. One
by one his pet sayings have sue
cumbed to the sane light Of rea-
son. Pictures are painted with
steadier hands, and poems sung
with clearer reason.
Il can drink today and let it
alone tomorrow" said one Of
Johns friends. But that friend
is dead.
my boss drinks, so why
shouldn't I drink ?" asked anoth-
er friend. But that friend has
lost his job. The boss went
broke.
"You can't hurt a drunk

down flight of stone steps,
got up and reeled toward home.
But on the way home he mis-
judged the speed Of a motor car

So, almost friendless and
alone, John Barleycorn sinks in
the back door and drinks to
drown the thought of tomorrow.

Obion County School Fair.

: Obion Countys first school fair wa
held at the courthouse on Dec. II
a day notable in the annals of tht
: county as the beginning of a mos
important branch of future schoo
work. Although only about twenty
schools were represented all the
spaee available in the lower court
room for the display was occupied by
an assortment that, all things con
sidered, was simply amazing. There
was plain sewing of the kind popu-
larly supposed to have passed away
with our grandmothers, crochetine
and embroidery of the daintiest
workmanship, besides cakes, dough-
nuts and biscuits of a most tooth
some quality.
Evidences of our boys inventive
genius were most gratifying and well
worth going to the courthouse to see,
had there been nothing else eXhib
| tied. There was an engine, a real
live one that would run and puff,
road drags, harrows, hay racks, a
VIOLIN bow and all, wind mill, little
farm fenced and cross fenced, with
barn and outhouses, a beautifully
made upholstered couch, and doubt
less many other articles equally as
meritorious as those just mentioned.
Really one could not possibly do JUS
tice to the fair in one short Deem
Der day, to say nothing of part of
an afternoon. There were speci-
mems of penmanship that would be
credit to any school, maps, one
especially of Obion County, extreme
ly well done, original calendars that
displays originality as we'll as artis-
tic talent.
This exhibit, prepared as it was
by the children in one month with
no special training and in some in
stances handicapped by lack of
proper materials, as for instance one
lllIlC wy w III nlISSo LII Ills
gate out of tin from an oyster can,
opens up the whole question of school
improvement in this county. These
children are we'll worth all we can
do for them and their interests
should be paramount to all others.
Why then are we so slow about con-
solicitations of schools that will give
them opportunities equal at least to
those enjoyed by children of the
cities.
Mr. Rulings, our wide-awake
county superintendent, instituted
this school fair in Obion County, and
expects to have one next year that
will far surpass this one-in short
the school fair has come to stay

but should include the double-track-
ing and rock-ballasting of every
trunk line in the country. But the
railroad officials themselves should
be just, The tariff should be just
to all the patrons of the roads. There
should be no discrimination Of
freight rates, There is general
demand now in the South especially
by the big shippers for reduced rates
from terminals and functions without
regard to the smaller shippers and
shipping points, and heretofore rail-
reSd companies have been almost
forced 10 comply with these demands.

sion is nor made up OF men big

TOR the benefit Of another, There
should be no discrimination IN

shippers over the small ones On the
same basis OF shipping expenses
there should be no system in ship
ping that retards the growth es I'M
terror points for the hsne6t ot the
large terminals aud functions ON the
same general lines Of road.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be equal 10 the job and
the work Of adjustment should be
done without fear or favor. At the
same time the railroads of the coun-
try should be allowed margin
enough TO make f1rst-class double
track road of every trunk line.

TIE Jingo.

The Presidents message should
have included also those of our citi-
zens who are continually buckina
and snorting about the imaginary
menace of German hostility to
America. More particularly is this
noticeable in Col. Henry Watterson S
utterances in the Courier-JOurnal.
The President has cautioned modera-
ton in speech ever since the war be-
gan and sober judgment in our at
titude toward the warning countries,
but the Courier-JOurnal seems to be
pitched almost to frenzy with it's
daily editorial Dervish dance. None
of these editorials has shown how
America has provoked the hostility
of Germany, unless it be that Ameri-
can manufacturers are furnishing
supplies to the enemy allies. There
is no breach of international rights
in that. But Germany has provoked
America in disregarding the rights
of neutrals and numbering American
citizens on the high seas, and instead
of Germany seeking war with Ameri-
ca, those of the Watterson type are
seeking war with Germany. Presi-
dent Wilson is trying to avoid war.
At the same time he has to contend
with the hyphenated German on the
one hand and the Watterson lingo
on the other. Months ago Mr.. Wat
terson was right in the assumption
that the Kaiser could more honor
ably have declined to engage in war.
But it was the bitter feeling between
England and Germany that kindled
the smouldering embers, and brought
on the greatest strife of ages. There
has been no deep-seated prejudice
against the American nation, but in
German aggression American lives
and commerce have incidentally
been involved.
Germany is not striking at Ameri-
ca but England, and much com
mentary it is that England has very
poorly defended herself. The Eng
lish people are not fighters. England
paid Hessian troops to put down the
American revolution, but France, the
country that has produced the great
est soldiers in Europe, sent men to
America to aid Washington in driv-
ing these solutions back to sea. 1t is
England's lust of conquest and pow
er that Germany hates-not Ameri- !
ca--and our President is right in
asking the press and the public to
refrain from immoderate speech and
demonstratioe.

Railroad Eduities.

The railroads should not bear the
brunt of undue agitation. From
some of the press stuff they seem to
have been martyred by demagogues.
Reducing it to fact, we believe this
agitation included the demand a few
years ago for a two-cent passenger
rate. This has not resulted altogeth-
er satisfactory either to the people Oh
to the railroads There was no real
good basis for it anyway. The rates
then in force averaged much less
than two cents a mile, including
tourists and special trips.
The railroads of the country should
be well paid for their SERVES. The
prosperity of the country depends
largely upon the railroads, and there
fore the tariff should be ample not
only to defray the running expenses
