CAMP FIRE GIRLS
SHOW PATRIOTISM

9
About the most patriotic, most
commendable thing we have heard Of
ii a long time is the patriotic deed
Of the Dresden Campfire Girls,
who have agreed among themselves
that, instead Of spending money for
Christmas gifts for one another, they
viii take that money and give dol
lar each to the Red Cross. Girls, the
Enterprise sincerely and truly con-
graduates you. You have acted
most nobly. You have set an exam
pie that many of we who are older
might wisely emulate. God bless
you!
When it is considered that the
Campfire Girls organization is
made up of girls between the ages
of u and Is years-just the age
when girls look forward to their
Christmas gifts and giving more than
any other period OF lie, perhaps
we repeat when their ages are con-
sidered, you may understand the
sacrifices these girls have made. A
girl of their ages looks forward to
Christmas and the gifts she is to
both make and receive more than to
anything else. We have seen a num-
Der Of them congregate by a good
warm fire on Christmas morning,
unwrap their simple little presents,
hug and kiss and caress them and
go into ecstacy over each article. 1t
was not the intrinsic value of the
article but the spirit Of love and
friendship prompting its gift. Then
how noble in these girls to forego
this great joy for the benefit of our
young heroes in the training camps
and the trenches.

JONES GOES TO
JAILFOR ASSAULT

Clyde Jones, the young man of
Martin indicted for an assault upon
Rollie Phipps, which occurred at
Martin three weeks ago, entered a
plea of guilty in circuit court last
Saturday and was sentenced to Jail
for 60 days, together with a fine of
$50.
The trial began Friday morning,
lasting throughout the day. A great
deal of interest centered in this un-
happy event, since there was an air
of mystery surrounding the entire
affair Mr.. Phipps proved by repu-
table witnesses that he was at home
at the time the insult was alleged
to have been offered by him to Miss
Jones near the moving picture show
in Martin. Miss Jones was positive
that Phipps was the man who accos-
ted her on the street.
The jury was unable to agree and
by agreement, a nollie was entered
in the case as to Herman Jones, it
being alleged that Clyde actually
did the assaulting. There was bril-
liant array Of counsel in this case,
Gen. T. o. Morris, R. E. Maiden and
Hon. A. B. Adams representing the
prosecution and Hon. W. A. Harper
and Col. L. E. Holiday the defense.
The jury was composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: E. A. Maloan,
H. A. Sullivan, w. J. Jett, ]. v. Tay-
Tor, W. H. Brummitt, P. N. Bullock,
John Alexander, T. F. Wingo, Geo.

FARM EFFICIENCY
BASEDON ACCOUNTS

The complications Of war are eff
fecting farming the same as every
other business. The city man has
met the changed conditions by stud
ying his business and adopting more
efficient business methods. Farm
ers, too, must adjust their business
to utilize the labor and capitol in
vested TO better advantage.
There are many questions which
must be decided before determin-
ing what notifications should be un-
dertaken, and only thorough knowl-
edge of the farm business will fur
nish the best basis on which to make
plans.
The depletion Of farm labor makes
this one of the greatest problems
the farmer has to meet at the pres
ent time. Labor is the largest item
of expense in operating the farm
business, and directly effects the
farm income. For this reason the
amount of non-productiye labor done
is an all-important factor to be con-
sidered. When one knows how pro-
ductive his labor has been the past
year he is better able to plan for
the coming year.
Now is a good time to begin an
account, and / hope that many of
the farmers in Weakley county will
do so. II we are going to win this
war we must make our farms more
efficient, and in working this out
we cannot afford to guess what we
are doing. We must have accurate
figures on which to base our con-
illusions instead of depending on
memory and Imagination.
The county agent, Mr.. R. E. Ellis,
is giving special attention to this
matter just now, and would be glad
to have farmers who are interested
speak to him about it at once.-C.

ZERO WEATHER
DON'T STOP THEM

Even the terrible weather that pre-
vailed all during the past week did
not stop the growth Of the Enter
prise circulation, which is fairly
growing by leaps and bounds, while
old subscribers are ayailing them
selves of the few remaining days "a
get the paper at the before-the-war
price.
Verify, the Enterprise circulation
is going over the top!
All during last week-every day
new and renewal subscribers came
in. The average per day for the
entire week was 10-some new and
many renewals. This is nothing
short of remarkable, considering the
zero weather that prevailed and the
deep snow, which even prevented
the delivery of rural mail through
out most of the county.
1t shows that the citizens Of Weak
ley county want the paper that gives
them all the news Of all the county
all the time.
Business men and those who have
goods to sell might look to this fact.
All these people have money to spend
and they. are going to spend it with
the advertiser. We advise them to
do it. They viii get better values
and fresher goods, since the mer-
chant who advertises sells more and |
buys more frequently than the dead
merchant who viii not advertise.
Spend your money with the man who |
is not ashamed to tell you in print
what he has and what he wants for |
t.
Here are the new and renewal
up to last Friday night:

Planned it Long Ago.

When Dewey was in command of
our fleet in Manila Bay it will be
remembered that German admiral,
vonDedrich, tried to make trouble for
him. That was the first intimation
that the people of this country had
that the kaiser and his military ad-
visers were plotting against the peace
and welfare of this nation. Here is
a bit of interesting history which
throws some light on the purposes
of Germany, which every loyal Am
erican ought to know. One of the
representatives of the German navy
and of the German government, a
guest of our government as military
observer for his own government
was Admiral vonGoetz. l do not
know whether Admiral vonGoetz had
too many drinks under his belt or
why he was so indiscreet as to boast
of what his government had in mind,
but here is the official record of
what he said in 1898:
"About Is years from now nv
country will start her great war.
She will be in Paris about two months
after beginning hostilities. Her
move on Paris will be but "a step to
her real object-the crushing of Eng
land. > Don't Some months after
we finish our work in Europe we
will take New York, and probably
Washington, and hold them for some
time. We will put your country in
its place with reference to Germany.
We do not propose to take any of
your territory (?), but we do intend
to take a billion or so of your dol
lars from New York and other places.
The Monroe Doctrine will be taken
charge of by us, as we will then have
to put you in your place, and we will
take charge of South America. as
far as We wish to. s. s. Don't for
get this, and about Is years from
now remember it, and it will inter.
est you.-(Naval and Military Rec
ord, No. SO, Vol. LII, p. 57S.)"
u want you to observe that the
foregoing is not mere newspaper
rumor. 1t is the official record pro-
vided by Admiral Dewey. 1t NAV
naturally be asked, why this was
never made public by our govern
ment? do not know, but | pre.
sumo that our government did not
feel that it would be wise to quote
the language of a German officer
which might stir up trouble between
this government and that of Germa.
ny. 1t may be, also, that at that
time our government regarded The
language as the mere empty boast
ing Of half-drunken German off.
Ger and not worth serious attention
However, Admiral Dewey consider.
ed the language of vOnGOetz of suf-
ficient Importance to report it to

WAR SAVINGS

/ Thrift and reciprocity are tbs
atoms composing the molecules, and

stood, and patriotism needs to be
rekindled in many places before they
can be combined into perfect and
harmonious whole. The year 1918
will see considerable part of the
energies of this nation turned to-
wards accomplishing the proposed re-
suits.
Andrew Carnegie was once asked
which he considered the most impor-
tant factor in industry-labor, capt.
tol or brains He replied by asking,
Which is the most important leg
Of a three-legged stool. ?" Labor
brains and capitol are the foundation
stones on which most people stand,
If they. themselves, are assets and
not liabilities to the human family.
While intelligence and ability to
labor, are inherent qualities, yet in
most cases, capital, the third fac
tor has to be acquired by combined
effort of the other two, and the gov
eminent, through a reciprocal plan
is endeavoring to develop and build
up in its people this saving and re-
tanning habit, and at the same time
help raise the money necessary to
win the war.
1t is the small investor the gov
eminent is trying to reach through
its Savings Stamps, for under no
condition will it allow one person to
own more than $1,000 worth at any
one time.
They offer them the best security |
in the world. If necessary, the |
stamps can be cashed at any time
after thirty days for more than they
cost, by applying at any postoffice. |
If held for five years, they pay four .
per cent interest compounded quar- I
terly.
They put the pennies to work for
their owner and teach the saving
habit, thing greatly needed in this
country.
Save by denying yourself luxuries
and restricting necessities. Stop the
waste and extravaganza and turn
he savings into War Savings Stamps.
Extravaganza and waste are crimi-
ial acts at any time, but in times like
these they are treason.
Do not delay, but take your quar-
.ers, half-dollars and dollars, before
you spend them, to to the nearest
