form into a criminal successfully,
There must be an effort toward his
physical improvement at the same
time.
"If your physical self is not in
perfect harmony, you are fit for
treasons, stratagems and spoils.'
Can you remember an unkind, un-
pleasant word or deed of your own
of today or yesterday, that you can
not trace directly to a physically
imperfect state - temporary or
chronic?
Unhealthy words and deeds differ
only in degree. Growing at a friend,
swearing at an employee-these are
symptoms of an off-condition physic-
ally. Emphasize and exaggerate
that same condition, and you arrive
at the physical state with its similar
mental state, which produces greater
crime.
"If we begin today with the
physical instruction of every child in
America, we will rear generations in
which crime will be as rare as i'll

Spencer Editors in Bloody Battle

A rather sensational battle was
fought on the street in Spencer
about 900 O'Clock Sunday night,
when the editors of the two pa
pers of the town, H. Jack, of the
Roane County Reporter, and S.
A Simmons, of the Times-Rec-
ord, had a clash, and as a result
of the affray Simmons is in the
Roane County Hospital with nine
knife wounds in his body.
According to the story of the
affair heard here the editors met
on the streets Sunday and com
menced q discussion. Simmons,
becoming excited struck Jack ov-
er the head with his cane, it is
said. Jack retreated, walking
backward, and it is said that
Simmons followed and again
struck him several times, and it
was at this point, so the account
goes, that Jack drew a small
pocket knife and began defend
ing himself.
Simmons was taken 20 the hos
pital, where it was learned that
his wounds though not of a dam
gerous nature would keep him
there several weeks. Two Of
the knife thrusts were in his
chest and the others in his abdo-
men. Jack suffered some small
cuts on his face and several
