own shortcomings and those of others of his kind. He sees only the delinquencies of others and forgets perchance his own may be even more glaring and de- structive. He weaves a halo around his precious brow and be- spatters that of his neighbor with ooze and slime. He sees evil where good exists, failure where success is assured, and poverty when prosperity is in the ascendent. If he, like the un- ruly kid, wants to pull anybody's nose he would confer favor upon suffering humanity by tweaking the bump on his own face. It needs it.

The Dinosour was prehistoric animal of great size that was weighted down by it's own hide of armor. The advocates of a tremendous standing army have been likened to it. The Dodo is a bird that can't fight, can't fly, can't run, can't protect it's own
 or itself. The name of Dodo has been hung onto people who want no army, who do not believe in
 preparedness of any nature, who
 would turn the other cheek and
 take another whack. Both ex- tremes appear to us to be even more than unwise. They appear to be even foolish, the one in- viting arrogance and the other courting prompt disaster. Far better would it be to have navy capable of protecting the vul- nerable points of our coasts, an army of 200, ,000 or 250, 900, and a National Guard in the different states expanded to approximately a million men under federal su- pervision and removed from po- litical interference or dictation. Such a course would practically insure immunity from foreign invasion, or at least the ability to

AGAINST CHILD LABOR

In courageous and determined language Margaret Foley, of the Boston woman's suffrage work CTS, has raised her voice against child labor.
 It is a crying disgrace to the south that the chief opposition to the national child labor bill comes from representatives of the southern states.
 This is easily understood. The mills of New England have en- tered fields of the south in order that they may be close to the supply of raw material. Chil- dren are employed in the southern cotton mills because child labor is cheap. For this reason all of the influence that can be brought into play has been directed to- ward keeping southern repre- sentatives in line. They oppose the national child labor law, and will so long as this interest lasts.
 Tennessee cannot escape from criticism. There was an anti-child labor bill promptly passed at the last session of the general as- sembly, and was as promptly de- clared unconstitutional.
 To protect the citizenship of the nation it is first necessary to protect the children. To talk of preparedness and not prepare for the future men and women of the country is foolish.
 Each state should exhibit cer- tain sense of pride. Each state should enact laws looking to the protection of it's young, and then each state should cooperate with the government in making a na- tional child labor law possible.
 In her address before the West Tennessee State Normal Miss Foley brought out important facts which should not be overlooked. Unless concerted and determined action is taken the national child la labasSsz'& vii! be defeated, and the humiliation of the defeat I will be that it will be caused by southern Democrats. The chiy- airy of the south has changed. We are beginning to display the same hungry spirit of conner cialism that can be found in the east.-Memphis Commercial Ap- peal.

You have, we presume, been doing little cleaning up and polishing up around your premi- ses of late. That is good, and very commendable, and we ad- mire you for it.. But let us gent ly whisper in your ear that one lone cleanup is not enough. Things look nice, and clean, and pretty just now, but in a few weeks they will begin to take on a dingy and ragged appearance, and every additional week will but emphasize the depressing and destructive effects of indif- ference and neglect. Do it again, and keep right on doing it at frequent intervals. It will add cheer to your own life and to those of your family and friends. It's a good thing to do and we hope to compliment you on keep ing right on with your cleaning shd pqlishing up.

With summer coming along you will naturally soon be more or less peeved at the weeds that spring up on every hand. You may, in fact, be doing a little private cussing on the sly. But did you ever stop to think that many of these weeds make good articles of diet? They do. There are ten weeds that can be used for food. They are the dock, nettle, sorrel, purslane, milk weed, dandelion, pigweed, lambs quarter, marsh marigold and brake fern. Is the high price of living bothering you? Eat weeds. Would you enjoy a welcome change from the usual daily grind of foodstuffs? Eat weeds. Would you place meal before your neighbor that will make him gasp and wonder where you got such delicious delicacies. Use weeds. And when you want to feast on something that really costs nothing, just simply eat weeds.

OUR GREATEST MENACE

The people of the United States are facing the menace of war on every hand. From every point of the compass.
 We are having diplomatic trou. bles with England, and Canada
 (England's possession) is to our north. We are at the breaking point with Germany to the east. Mexico is thorn in our flesh tc the south, and now comes Japan as possible and dangerous ad- versary to the west. From every point of the com pass
 And yet there is an even great CT menace to the future of our country right within the circle of the compass itself within our own borders and among our own people.
 That menace is the hyphen.
 Englishmen, Frenchmen, Ger mans, Austrians, Italians, Rus sians, Serbians, men who sprang from every nationality are for getting their American citizen ship and violently espousing the cause of one nation or another in the unhappy strife which is destroying our neighbors across the water.
 Men who came from other countries to escape oppression and sought asylum in our land of freedom are denouncing our own government and our congress because we as nation do not champion the cause of the par ticular country from whence they came. This condition is not con- fined to the people of any one nationality. It exists wherever foreign togue is spoken mildly in some instances, insanely rabid in others.
 A man is either loyal to this country or he is not. If he en- joys the blessings of American citizenship and the protection of the American flag the least he can do is to respect his flag and his country and demonstrate his loyalty by his acts.
 Carrying a hyphep sviS,1nd on sSs, Sis,Issllgtta llgttaipsqzs,i5s ss5 of loyalty to this country.
 We are a nation made up of people of many tongues. The very nature of this admiXture of nationalties, collectively consti- tuting a great and rich and pow erful nation, becomes at once it's greatest and most serious menace.
 A people may stand and four ish only as they remain loyal one to the other and all to a common flag. Divided they become a mass of snarling, pickering, fighting factions, each bent upon the de- struction or elimination of the other.
 And the hyphen is producing this disastrous effect in America today.
 But it is not yet too late to pause and take stock of our selves and of the position in which we are placing our common countrywide place we know as home, and which feeds us, and clothes us, and provides us with the luxuries and pleasures of life.
 Let European monarchs and European peoples fight their own battles. Our business and our duty is to consider our own indi- vidual interests, and those inter- ests are the interests of our country.
 If the time should come when it becomes imperative that the United States should take up arms against any foreign coun- try, then we should do so as American citizens, as a united country ac naonlo who Lpom

The question is not now. Why
did God say 20 make the heart
of this people fat? 1t is did he
in this manner put them to sleep
in Him? There is no mistake hut
what We close our eyes in sleep.
So we learn in this scripture.
that God put those people

And the next thing left US to
do is to find out who they were

who it is that is sleeping in
