10000 Stenograph=
ers Wanted By
the Government

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 6. 1917
Hon. John A. McIlhenny, President
of the Civil-Service Commission,
Washington, D. c., recently wrote
to Draughon's College. Nashville,
urging that College to help the
United States Government to secure
more stenographers, both men and
women, the Government now being
in need Of ten thousand stenograph-
ers and many book-keepers, at sal
aries ranging from one thousand
dollars to twelve hundred dollars a
year to begin on.
In his letter, Mr.. Mcllhenny urges
young men and young women who
are not trained for Government
Office positions to begin now to take
the necessary training, as the pros
pect is that the demand will con-
tinue indefinitely.
Draughon's Nashville College is
now receiving from business men
more than one hundred calls a
month for bookkeepers and steno-
graphers.
To show its patriotism, Draugh-
on's Nashville College is Offering
special terms to all who desire to
prepare, at college or by mail, for
these good positions. ~"

Lexington People VIII Get tho Benefit.

There's nobody in Lexington any
better known than W. V. Barry
and in giving his experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills, ror the benefit
of Lexington kidney sufferers, he
has nothing whatever to gain.
Why experiment with unknown
or imitation kidney remedies when
you have such a good reason to try
Doan's?
Profit by the test Mr., Barry has
made for you.
W. V. Barry, editor Of the Pro
GREss, Jackson street, Lexington,
says: Il have recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills before and am glad to
do so again. From time to time
since | first learned of this fine
medicine, have had occasion to
take it for kidney disorders and
have always had satisfactory re-
suits

Germany's resources are approach
ing exhaustion.
The submarine afforded the only
hope of dealing effectively with
England and great hope was placed
on its effectiveness, but through
greatly destructive, it failed in its
mission. 1t has not starved Eng
land, it becomes more and more
plain that it can't do so, but
brought the United States and other
countries into the war, making the
evil that it has done Germany's
cause largely overbalance the good.
So the German people are hungry
and impatient and are beginning to
ask When shall we have England
beaten?" The answer is never, il
the submarine is the only Deepen
dance, and England now has the
United States behind her with all
Of this country's vast resources in
men, money and natural wealth.
1t is surely not soon, under any
conditions or by any means, that
the Germans will have England
heated. Gen. Haigs army with
continued American reinforce
ments and the combined Britist
and American navies are in the
way. So is Americas food supply.

Predicted in 1919.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 10.-Lo-
Gusts will invade East Tennessee in

Those counties in East Tennessee
which will be affected will include
Knox, Claiborne. Hawkins, Sullivan,
johnson, Carter; Washington,
Greene, Granger. Hamblen, Jeffer-
son, Sewer, Blount, Louden, Roane,
Cumberland, Rhea, Bledsoe, Ham.

Middle and West Tennessee will be
affected in 1919 The pests will APP
pear in intersections in 1923.
The pests will do most Of their
damage to fruit trees shade and

eist Bentley. g They attack all for
est trees except the hickory. They

any manner" :

Something Private"
John Allen Said.

1t will never be too late to pay
tribute to the memory of Private
John Allen, who died recently at
his home in Tupelo, Mississippi and
of whom Editor George Morris
said in the Memphis News Scimi-
tar--"He never brought a tear to
any eye until he died"
BY the way-the distinguished
Mississippian was brother of the
late Jim Allen of the great Allen
West Commission Company, of St
Louis, and hence the uncle of our
Terry Allen, who went several
months ago from Jackson, Tenn,
to Southern Texas, as Captain in
the United States Army.
1t was said of Allen that his hu
NOR, while at the other fellows ex
pense, never carried with it a sting
for instance:
One time, when in Wisconsin as
a guest of Col. George R. Peck, a
Federal veteran, and when address,
ing a Grand Army Of the Republic
Convention, Private John Allen
said.
Veterans of the Union army, |
never saw your faces before, but |
saw your backs often during the
war But for the fact that a South
ern soldier would not shoot a man
in the back, you would all be in
your graves tonight. You would
not think in looking at the rotund
obese form of George Peck that he
was ever a Splinter but for the fact
that he could outrun a mimic bullet,
] would have shot him dead in bat
tie. ! am glad missed overtaking
him, otherwise we would not be
here this evening eating the rich
things that come from the land
where grow brave men and pump
kins."
Among several other reminis-
cences of Allen told by Judge John
F. Phillips, of Missouri, is this one:
He was the contemporary of
Gen. 10 Wheeler, in Congress. The
roll was called on vote on some
pending bill while Allen was in the
cloakroom. Appearing at his seat
at the close of the call, the clerk
called his name, inquiring how he
would vote. Allen asked how Gen.
