A GROWING SUB
SCRIPTION LIST

The wonderful, almost phenomi-
nal growth of the Enterprise sub
scription list during the past four
months speaks well for the citizens
of the county, as well as for the pa
per itself. IL means that Weakley
countians are going to keep abreast
of the times; that they are going to
be reliably informed on current
events; that they are going to be
posted on the county happenings,
tate happenings and the great events
connected with the European war.
1t also means that they are going
to read the advertisements Of the
best merchants in the county.
All these people have money to
spend and are going to patronize the
merchant who invites them to patron
ize him. For instance: Three weeks
ago merchant advertised molasses
buckets in the Enterprise. It was
little four-line local, costing about
80 cents, but it brought man to
Dresden who bought $40 worth Of
molasses buckets-and after getting
here he spent some more money.
But the interesting part is he told the
dealer here that he could have bought
the buckets at his home town, in three
miles of him, and would have saved
a 1O-mile drive, but he didn't know
his home town merchant had bucket
in his house. He had no way Of
knowing, because he had been very
busy at home and depended on the
Enterprise to keep him posted as to
where to purchase his needs as well
as on the county news events and
the war situation. He got both.
Here are the new and renewal sub
scribers for last week up to Friday
oUoninp.

.INTERFERES WITH PLAN
President Wilson Asks Withdrawal of
Sales Amendment to Food Bill.

Washington, July President
Wilson has asked the withdrawal of
the amendment to the food bill which
would prevent members of the ad-
visory commission of the council of
national defense from selling to the
government, according to letter re-
ceived by a member of the senate
agricultural committee today.
Passage of the amendment, the
president believes, would bring about
disa arrangement of the system devised
by the govern ment for mobilizing the
war industries of the country. Its in
cIusion in the food bill would neces-
state establishment of a new means
of securing fair prices for materials
now contracted for by the various
committees of the defense council s
advisory commission
The president points out no mem
Der of The advisory commission has
power to control the terms under
which contracts with his firm or any
other firm are made and that it is
impossible under the present system
for firms to exact excessive prices
from the government for war ma
| terials.

TylE BoY WAS RIGHT.

a few days ago At a little town In
New Mexico a mother bade farewell To
her son ~ he departed for a tralnlns
camp. The poor woman was almos,
overcome with grief. Her boy-hor
onls son--was going to M himself to
become "a member OF Uncle sans
mighty army. She felt that she was
bidding him goodbye forever. "oh.
my boy; o viii never como back to
me n you 40 to France she sighed
between sobs.
The boy clas9ed his mother to h.s
breast. uttering such words OF COM
fort as he could under the circum-
stances. lie assured her that the
chances were he would return. "Bu,
he said, III die fighting In France
] shall he better off h you will
be here In this counsry u Germany
wins the war"
Il Is not an easy matter 70 sive IN
ones son and wee him march away 70

IL a whole sermon in the words utterd
by the young man. II u young men

nation In its time OF need-and II
thousands more OF them do not take
the same step In the months TO come
what will be the fate of the mothers
the sisters. the daughters and the
sweethearts left behind?
Perhaps an extract from the diary
OF n captured German soldier would
bring home quite vividly what the fate
OF our women would be in case the
Huns invaded America. He wrote as
follows: Three women hanged 20
trees. We have destroyed eight
houses with their inmates. Out or
one house alone. two men with their
wives and an elghteen-year-old girl
were bayoneted. The girl made me
feel badly. she gave me such an IN
necent look: but nothing could be
done against the excited crowd, for az
such times they are net men but
beasts"

is a heart-breaking experience. sur
