ONE DAY FOR HUMANITY

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 1.-The
Nashville, Chattanooga e st.
Louis Railway is heartily cooper
ataing with various other forces
over the country in an effort to
establish a perfect record on
October O. Fire and Accident
Prevention Day." Thru it's
safety department the road has
issued instructions to all en-
ployes to endeavor to make that
day one free from accidents or
fires in so far as it may lie with
in their power.
Special stationery has been used
by the several departu ents for
some time on which accident and
fire statistics have been printed
in red ink, and in this manner the
attention of thousands has been
directed to the day and it's object.
Under the caption "One Day for
Humanity is an appeal to every
employee to be particularly care
tul and to ask others to do like
wise.
Thru the various superinten-
dents special admonition has been
given the men to observe the day
with unusual diligence to the end
that the road may have a perfect
score to report. Superintendent
C. M Anderson of the safety
department says he hopes to be
able to report such a day.
The nations fire toll is 5000
lives a year, a fire loss of $500 a
minute, 10000 persons worthless
and 20, 900 homeless. The acct
dent toll a year is 35, 900 deaths
and 100000 injuries, to say
nothing Of the human suffering
and financial loss.
Persons who must use railroad
property on that day are urged
to be unusually careful, especial
ly at crossing where so many ac-
cidentS occur

The great American people mas
Just had another opportunity 10
observe what the German sub
marine can do. 1t is Germany,s
latest method of protest against
the iniquitous exploitation OF
war munitions and war sup
plies, which has been fostered
by this government for the past
two years. The majority OF
the American people are heartily
sick of this miserable business,
which has only served two ends,
first to make richer a lot of rich
men. and second to make the
price of necessaries for poor men
higher. How much longer will
this continue? We may be mis-
taken but an en- barge should be
declared at once by this govern
ment, and all alleged neutral gov
ernments, on every article OF
supplies or food destined for a
warning nation, or intended In
directly for a warning nation.
This decision on the part OF the
United States, one of the sup
pliers of the world, would bring
the wretched murder in Europe
to a close quicker than anything
that could be done, or at least
weaken the antagonists so that
their bloodshed and ruin would
be lessened. This cutting off Of
supplies from the combatants
would also be a great help to the
American people, many of whom
are suffering for the food and ma

the depths of the sea.

BOYS OF CORN CLUBS
MAKE ANNUAL REPORTS

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 6, 1916.
County Agricultural Agents are
collecting from boys who are
members of corn clubs facts as to
the raising of their crops. These
records are being compiled in the
office of the Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee,
and the complete result is to be
published later.
The 1915 results. which have
been available for some time, are
being shown on printed signs at
fairs this fall. These charts are
made from facts received by
County Agents. The number Of
boys enrolled in the county is as
certained, the number OF boys re-
porting in the county, the total
number of bushels reported in the
county, the total cost. the average
cost per busheI, and the average
number of bushels per acre.
Comparing enc year with
another, after these facts have
been collected, the county agent
is able to tell whether corn pro-
duction in his part Of the state is
improving ornot. No little inter-
g. t is being aroused in counties
that have county agents as to this

deep resentment. In the light
of the conduct OF the Admin

interference, we interfered most
exasperatingly. We have not
even kept out Of actual con

REDMEN INVADE
SOUTH PITTSBURG
GREAT SACHEM WEIGH
is PRESENT
Tracy City, WhitweII and Coal,
mont Tribes Well Represented
Bull Bat Degree
Conferred.

1uSSOdy hlSIII VI tLlIo HSCh
Redmen from the Tribes of Whit
well, Tracy City, and Coalmont,
Tenn, invaded South Pittsburg
and their war whoOps mingled
with the yells of the local tribe
was somewhat akin to the scenes
enacted along the Tennessee in
earlier days when the real Red
men inhabited this section of
country, but the mission of the
modern Redmen was a more
peaceful one. While the meeting
at this time was an especial one,
nothing unusual took place, other
than having the Great Sachem, of
Soddy, Tennessee, T. J. WEIGH,
| this being a complete surprise to
| the visiting members. and brought
about thru the activity of the local
Redmen.
Twenty-six members from the
tribes at Coalmont and Tracy City,
twelve from Whitwell and two
from Orme, constituted the list of
visitors, and these added to the
local tribe made more than a hun
dred present at the meeting Tues
day night, where oratory, cigars
and eats second to none were en-
joyed.
George Thompson, the biggest,
latest and bald-headest warrior
in the state, was very much in
evidence at the meeting with
scalps hanging to all parts of his
belt and big basket of dinner on
his wing, and stated that if any
one enjoyed the occasion he did.
The Bull Bat" degree was con-
ferred at this meeting. This de-
gree is one that has not been en-
joyed by the local tribe and one
which they say will be used con-
siderably in the next few weeks.
Another degree-the Pocahontas
degree-was conferred on D.
Tanner.
The Great Sachem, Mr.. Welch,
besides being prominent In Red
men circles, is one Of the leading
citizens of Soddy, and while not
an orator, he delighted the large
crowd with information concern
/ ing the Redmen of the state and
his presence here was enjoyed by
all the boys. Besides the speak
ing by Mr.. WEIGH, Hon. Walter
M. Cameron also delighted the
gathering with a short and i'm
pressive talk.
The table prepared to hold the
eats for the occasion was four
! feet wide and thirty-siX feet long,
and then could not near accom-
modate the vast amount of eats
on hand. The crowd fingered
around the camp until late hour
and those present stated that a
more enjoyable occasion was
never had in this city. South
