Now that the smoke of the politi-
cal battles is drifting away, per-
haps we can get down to business
and dig up Il little prosperity for
this community. We have whooped
it up for our favorite candidates
and given them the benefit of our
influence and our votes. If we are
equally energetic in whooping it up
for our local community we may
accomplish some definite and tan
gible results that will bring at least
a semblance of prosperity to us.

A MODEL COMMUNITY

Down among the mountains of
Tennessee, high on the Cumberland
Table lands, lies the little town Of
Clifty. 1t is just a little mining
town, peopled by hardy, indus
trious set of people, but it is show
ing to the world how neighbors and
friends may "dwell together in
unity"
We have said that it is a mining
town, but it is more; that the people
are hardy and Industrious, but they
are more; they have the true com

Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only

disease, requires constitutional treat

stead of fifteen or twenty families
(about the number interested in the
Community each having to own
and maintain a team, three or four
teams were amply sufficient.
Again they discovered that in
stead of fifteen or twenty sets of
agricultural implements being need
ed, only three or four of each kind
were necessary, and of some, only
one-a great saving all must admit.
Each stakeholder bears his pro rata
share of expense and furnishes his
pro rata amount of labor.
Briefly, the plan has proven such
success that the community now
has its own silo, blooded hogs and
cattle, and last year their exhibits
led al others at their county fair.
But these are not all of the re-
suits. The close business associa-
ton necessary in the successful
working out of the plans has de-
veloped spirit of community
brotherhood that is a pleasure to
witness. In this little town is ex-
emplifed a typical brotherhood of
man. The welfare and comfort of
the most humble is as carefully
looked after as that of the most
wealthy, They have splendid
school, church, Sunday school, and
recently "A commodious club house
has been erected that is proving a
power for good to both young men
and older ones.
We have briefly sketched the re-
suits of this community plan of CO.
operation as showing what a true
community spirit will accomplish.
Many features of interest have
necessarily been omitted from this
article from lack of space. But
should any other community desire
to know more of their workings,
letter addressed to the postmaster
will receive prompt and courteous
answer and full information will be
given of plans that can not fail to
benefit any community.

"A QUEER STORY OF 'es

The story is told Of trooper who
gained admission to the ranks during
the Spanish-American war even
though possessed of set of false
teeth while munching bareback and
which followed when this soldier
broke his teeth while munching hard
tack and was forced to discard them.
At the close Of the war he fled

ages caused by stomach trouble, he
being unable to digest his food prop
erly. Then for the first time it was
discovered that the man had been
able to slip past the medical examin-
ers, though possessed of set OF false
teeth.
But today, just as the feeding of an
army has improved, so has the stand
ard of physical examination been
raised, and privates and officers alike
are forced to. pass under the critical
eyes of thirty members Of the medi-i
cal corps. each of whom is special

The examinations at Camp Dodge
are being held under the direction Of
Major Fairchild Of Clinton, and that
10 percent of each company is regu-
larly rejected is an Indication of the
severity of the inspection. The men,

The final step in the examination

state of unpreparedness that has existed in this

INJUSTICE TO FORD.

Henry Ford, one of the largest employers OF
well paid labor in the United States, denies
that he has threatened to discharge men who
leave his plant for service in the national
guard.
The denial is good to read. It brings re
newed faith in the American spirit, which, APP
parently, slumbered in the breast Of even the
most ardent opponent Of the principle OF self
defense.
The Gate City had knowledge of, but did not
print, the rumor which placed Henry Ford IN
the position of forbidding his employees to serve
with the armed forces Of the country. What
ever his subordinates may have said or be
lieved, Mr.. Ford now declares that he is not
discharging militiamen and that anything
that President Wilson calls upon to do |
will do.'
We quite like the sound of that.
Our only regret is that Henry Ford's reputa-
ton, gained through his conduct and utter
ances during the European war, has put the
American people in an attitude of suspicion
where they would be ready to believe almost
any report of his preparedness activities.

MEXICO'S MUNITIONS.

While one need not take too seriously the
Japanese protestations of love for the United
States-any more than the Japanese need
dwell happily upon Americas professions Of
admiration for Japan-the rumors of Japanese
aid to Mexico in the event of Mexican United
States war can be dismissed, at least for the
present.
Japan as Foreign Minister Ishii declares is
interested at present in suppl wing munitions to
the allies and dealing with the Chinese revolu-
tons of various degrees And. point not
mentioned by Baron Ishii Japan is believed
to be increasing her own armament and devot-
ing part of her munitions capacity to home
purposes.
Japan has a perfect right, and in normal
times would have strong inducement, to sell
arms to Mexico That would be no unfriendy
act against the United States. In war with
Mexico the United States would maintain
complete blockade, shutting off all Mexican
commerce, but Japan would have the privilege
of a venture in blockade running
1t is doubtful if Japanese arms can reach
Mexico even if Japan has arms to SELL Further
as far as we know at this moment Mexico has
all the arms she needs-good, reliable weapons
manufactured in the United States and sold to
the Carranza government with the sanction of
the United States government. If Japanese
war equipment has been bought by Carranza in
the last year it must be only small percentage
OF the total now In possession of the Mexican
armies.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE MTLEsToNEs.


The milestones the road of life
Are not the battles fought and won;
Are not the monuments of strife
The foe repulsed, the grand work done;
For every triumph, great or small,
Is bordered black with some regret
The memory of foeman's fall,
Some brave mans forever set!
What glory has battle won
When he who lost must lie supine?
What pleasure in the swift race
When thousands never cross the line?
The strong, the swift so richly blest
That winning seems babys sport
Their laurel is sorry jest,
They do not love the flattering court!
They do not heed the songs Of praise
Which swell forever for the king;
They scorn the laurel and the bays
A crawling crowd is quick to bring.
A kindly word that saved fall
A loving smile for one in tears
These are the milestones they recall
While looking back across the years!
