Capt. W. N. Hughes, Jr., of the reg4
ular army and the inspector instruct.
or Of the national guard Of Tennessees
has recently returned from an inspecs
tdon tour all over the state. Referring
to the tour, he states that he was very
much discouraged over the weaknesk
OF the guard and the apathy prevalent
nearly everywhere.
AT only one place, and that at
Memphis" said Capt Hughes, did Il
find battalion up to its full strength
The guard is in good condition inl
Memphis, but elsewhere there Is not
company that is up to full strength.
Tennessee ought to support three
full regiments, but at present there Isl
only one full regiment and two bait
talions, or one and two-thirds regi1
ments. three battalions making regiI
meat.
Another thing that should cause
chagrin to citizens Of Nashville and
Middle Tennessee is that the old hisS
toric First Regiment is out of busis
ness entirely. 1t does look bad that Id
Middle Tennessee enough men can't
be found to make up the four company

AMERICANS ON SHIP SUNK
Sinking Of Norwegian Vessel May Re-
vive Submarine lssue--ls regard
ed As Serious.

Washington. Secretary Lansing has
instructed Consul Osborn at Hayre,
France, to forward Immediately all
available details of the sinking in
Havre Roads of the Norwegian bark
Silius, from which seven American cit
liens were rescued. Consul Osborn
previously reported that the Silius was
torpedoed without warning on the
night of March 3.
If torpedo did destroy the BARR,
which was bound to Havre from New
York with grain, the government re.
sponsible will be held to strict &c.
count.
Officials seemed inclined, however,
to refrain from forming an opinion I'M
til 1t was known positively that tor
pedo and not a mine sunk the ship.
Should Consul 0sborn's investiga-
ton establish that torpedo actually
was responsible, the United States, Of
ficials indicated. would view the mat
ter as even more serious than II u
passenger carrying vessel was involv-
ed. The State Department considers
that American seamen have even a
greater claim to protection than pas
sengers. A passenger travels at his
discretion. while a seaman is COMPEL
ed to do so by his occupation.
So far dispatches to the State De.
partment have simply said the vessel
was torpedoed without warning.

THE WORKERS AND
THE PLUM TREE

The time draws near for the auad
rennial shaking of this famous foil.
age. Also there are intermediate
harvests, raised from lesser sprouts
of the same root. Theoretically,
when the campaigner comes around
and asks your vote for some friend
or leader. he is seeking to advance
the interests of state and nation.
Interest in public affairs is most
necessary, and many Of our ills flow
from lack of such interest. So when
a man solicits your vote It may be
merely spontaneous enthusiasm for a
righteous cause. But too frequently
1t is a task tacitly bought and paid
for.
The plum tree Is rich and fruitful

lie building is the ideal life. They
prepare themselves for this service,
not by studying business administra-
ton, but by making themselves solid
with the politicians.
The man who controls fifty votes
Is quite an autocrat in his own little
kingdom. While our civic reformers
are toasting their feet before the
open fire on cool nights, the polite.
al worker is ever active. It Is more
recreation than work to him. He en-.
Joys the chances OF the game and
the social life Of campaigns.
In some hangout or loating place,
or working through some organiza'
ton he gathers little group around
him. His underlings may not sus'
pect that they are being led for ul
terror purposes. But in some subtitle
way, they control the casting of bal
lots, and vastly influence primaries
and elections, particularly the form

TO this force. No word OF under
standing may have passed, yet when
the appointments are made, the claim
OF the political worker is not easily
ignored.

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
MOVEMENT

This is an age of tourists and tour.
ing. People keep their eyes open as
they pass through towns, anxious to
see what refinement and civic spirit
they can find. A town that beauti.
fies its public streets and that has
attractive residence grounds draws
interest from all over a state.
Towns ought to take the greatest
pains to beautify the streets thru
which this stream of motor travel is
passing. also to clean UP neighbor.
hoods through which railroad tracks
run. When motorists find dilapidat.
ed buildings. i'll kept grounds, sta.
bles decorated with circus posters,
etc, they carry away disagreeable

The view from the railroad car is
usually one of tumbled down chick
en- coops, piles of ashes and rubbish.
Property owners perhaps say to
themselves that the strangers that

the same they know the name of the
town.
Many towns realizing the import.
ance of the effect produced on trav.
ellers take pains to make little park
spots near railroad stations and
along Main streets. 1t is astonishing
what change can be made in a
dingy square by planting a few trees
and shrubs.
Everytown should have commit.
tee to look specially after the ap.
pcarance of these arteries OF travel.
The owners OF property abutting o
them should be urged to cooperate In

Reports indicate there will be a

roads are getting cars in shape for
eastern hauls. The Moapa Valley Is
already planting melons and the fruit
indications on the Provo bench are
said to be better than for some
years.

THE FLY
NUISANCE

Public sentiment has made excel.
lent progress In regard to the fly
pest. Many of us can remember
from our childhood how Indifferent
people were to this plague. They
accepted it as one OF the trifiing an.
noyances Of life, to be ignored by aft
sensible people. To fret because Of
the attacks of insects was regarded
as sign of childishness and lack of
self control
1t was more customary in those
Days to build stables quite near The
houses. In many places the fash.
ion prevailed of attaching them di.
rcctly to dwellings,, sometimes con.
nected with woodshed or carriage
house. No good reason appeared FOR
this proximity except possibly that
on a stormy day the owner could go
out to his beasts without getting wet,
very poor excuse for a thoroughly
undesirable arrangement.

People would stand the nuisance all

vermin with feather busters, brooms
and newspapers. After about an hou,
the flies would be as thick as ever

BUILDING
SIDEWALKS

One of the problems that the mod
ern town has to meet, is the build
| ing OF sidewalks fast enough to meet
I the needs OF the community. High
cost OF labor and material, higher
standards OF public comfort. make II
an expensive proposition Most towns
spread out now in scattered way,
and do not huddle together as they
used to. It was comparatively mex.
pensive to provide walks for an old
fashioned concentrated town, but
very costly to build them past all
the vacant lots found In the out.
skirts.
But there seems certain injustice
in spending a lot Of money for road
improvement and doing little for the
great mass OF people who walk. The
practical result in many places is
to drive the pedestrian element to
the middle OF the street, where they
suffer discomforts of dust, dirt, and
mud, to say nothing Of having to
turn out for every vehicle that passes.
The man who demands now the
finest type of cement walk, was
pleased as a boy when they ran a
tar concrete walk past his house.
His father probably thought it a
great advance when they laid Gin
iers or gravel path. However, a.
town must keep up with the times,
and 1t has to compete with its neigh.
bors.
The great majority OF places seem
10 be laying cement walks. II is
costly, but probably pays In the long
run II well laid. Many towns howev.
er, have spent large sums on this
but owing to careless
ness or dishonesty Of contractors,
hey now see their costly cement
showing many broken sections.
A town that builds walks to its
outskirts with reasonable prompt
ude makes itself very attractive to
newcomers. Probably every dollar
,pent that way comes back in the
'orm OF new taxable property. A
own that anticipates future needs,
s likely to grow to meet the facili-
les that 1t provides.
