ROAD WORKING DAY IN
RUGBY

The Morgan County Press had a
very good editorial in it's issue two
weeks ago on good roads, saying
that good roads furnished an un-
erring index to the public spirit
of community, and we wish to
add when these roads are made
good by the labor of the people
themselves that public spirit is in
creased one hundred fold.
The roads leading to Rugby hav-
ing received no benefit from Road
Tax Appropriation like the other
sections of Morgan County,
the people determined to do some
thing themselves to better their
roads. l say people-for the wo-
men and children helped as well as
the men-for the ladies got up a
Fourth of Jul Y entertainment, and
an ice cream supper, netting a
handsome sum towards the better
road fund. Then when the Cover
nor of Tennessee decreed that all
men should work the roads on
July 9th most of the able bodied
men of the community turned out
also the boys and girls, young and
old. cooked and served them such
a dinner as a king might be glad to
eat, thus lifting labor to its right
full place Of honor.
Several men in town, under
standing road repairing gave their
services free by the day directing
and working with those employ
ed by the roadsfund collected.
We hope to show the County
Court that we are at least worthy
of the loan OF the countys Dig
scraper, and beg to state that Rug
by is not dead, as some of the
countv's wiseacres have said. We
would like to hear if any other part
of the county observed the day.

rs SUNDAY BASE. RALL
ILLEGAL? 1
To the Editor of the Morgan County

To the Editor of the Morgan County
Press.
Section '6s37-.shannon's Code of
Tennessee, provides that any per-
son who shall engage in playing
base ball, cricket, or any other
game that is played with ball, club
or bat on the Sabbath day, or any
person who shall aid or assist in
any way in playing said games on
the Sabbath, shall be deemed gull
ty of misdemeanor- and upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined
not less than $25 nor more than
$50 for each offense.
I do not know of this section
and statute being repealed. Ger
tianly there was no demand for re-
peal. In the absence of a statute
expressly prohibiting these shame
full, ignorant acts, decent respect
of the people themselves, much less
the teaching of their creatorshould
suppress this business.
Again those games are in open
violation of the Mosaical law "Re-
member the Sabbath Day to Keep it
Holy" But we cannot greatly
wonder that the children do these
violations, when the example is
set by the parents.

Special to The Morgap County Press
The Sunbright Reds crossed bats
with the Q & G team of Oakdale
Sunday August 9Th.
The game was called at l 100 p
m, sharp.

We consider this one Of the best
games ever played in the county.
1t was a pitchers contest. Walker
certainly did throw a fine ball; so
did Denton for the G Il c team.

OF course, IL silver could be trans

more valuable than silver and there
would be no particular gain. But it
would add to the wonders that SCI
ence has accomplished. In days Of
radium and x-rays, wireless tele-
phony and aircraft, submarines and
electricity, one cannot afford to
laugh too boisterously at any pro-
posal, though it might have sent q
man to the insane asylum a century
ago.

largely avoided here.
But will everybody do them
There is only one possible way ia
make such regulations mean any
thing. It is through the cooperation
of the whole community. Americans
don't do that sort of thing well. The
average person grunts and opines
that "they" ought to enforce those
rules. Who are "they?" The only
"they" that can possibly accomplish
real results, are the whole public.
There is a present-day sport, alto
gether too popular. known as buck
passing. II. seems to have had its
origin in a practice incident to a
certain low and evil game Of chance,
in which depraved persons at times
indulge. Passing the buck is not I'M
like letting George do it."
This is no time for passing the
buck, or for letting anybody except
yourself do it. Do your share; do a
little more; hope that everybody else
will do his; and remember that your
example will be worth more than any
amount Of conversation, advice, lee
turing, or grumbling.

Fish and Oyster Industry
Shows a Big Increase

The products Of the canned fish and
oyster industry for 1914 were valued at
$5.2S.44. according to a report issued
by the Census Bureau. The number of
establishments reporting increased 1872
per cent over those Of 1909. while the
increase in product value was AL per
cent.
The production of smoked or dried fsh
was the only one OF the various forms
Of fish preparation that decreased. and
this did not materially affect the gen.
eral increase. The output of canned
fish and oysters jumped from $4,000. 900
In 1909 to Xl.0O0.000 In 1914 The total
number Of establishments In the indus
try during those years grew from 467

CLEAN UP. AND KEEP CLEANl

The health authorities Of the Dis
trict have issued a call to the COM
munity to adopt measures best cal
culated to keep infantile paralysis
from invading Washington. The
rules, aimed especially to combat the
present epidemic that has become so
strongly lodged in New York, are
simple, understandable, and in no
caseinvolve serious expense.
Most Of these regulations, indeed,
ought to be enforced all the time, in
every season, on general principles.
We are told to keep in good physical
condition; be clean; get all the fresh
air and sunshine possible; keep the
flies out, kill them if they get in, and
allow no deposits that can afford
harbor, food or breeding places for
them; keep children from contact
with others that are not we'll, espe-
cially those from places where the
disease has been prevalent; notify
the health authorities of suspicious
cases of illness; and, specifically as
protection against the infantile
paralysis germ, a simple, inexpen-
sive, antiseptic gargle is recon-
mended.
All these things are rather easy
to do. If everybody would do them,

GETTING THE STORES CLOSED

The Consumers League has gone
about it's effort to get more mer-
chants to join the Saturday after
noon closing movement in the right
fashion.
Instead Of heckling merchants on
this point they claim to have signed
up 5000 persons who agree to do
their buying at other times than on
Saturday afternoons.
Most folk who undertake move
ments Of this sort do not understand
that It is the buyers, not the mer-
chants, who keep the stores open.
The process Of closing them at
nights was educational, and came
from the cultivation of a daytime
habit Of buying among shoppers.
Just so the practice Of closing them
on Saturday afternoons will be &C.
complished.
Already, during the simmer
months, many Of Washington's lead
ing stores close o. Saturdays at 1
o'clock. Others will do SO, it is safe
to predict, as soon as their patrons
permit them to do 50. Merchants re-
alize as we'll as anyone that the ex-
ira time of for employees fits them
better for work the rest Of the week.
