HEAVILY INSURED

sented $1O5 ,OOO in Insurance Funds
 When They Went to the Post
 Thursday.
 Laurel, Md, Oct. 22.-When the great three-year-olds Hourless and Omar Khayyam walked to the post Thursday in their great match race only about four men knew how heavily the colts were insured. Hourless carried $S5,0OO and Omar Khayyam $20, ,00O, total of S105, ,OOO.
 Capt Duhaim of the Pinkertons, and the agent of the insurance com pany, fearful that an accident might happen to the horses, guarded them carefully in the parade and tQld the throng lined up along the fence rall not to wave their hands or hats as the horses passed.
 While this is big insurance for horses, it fails to represent their real value. August Belmont would not part with Hourless for $1O0,0O0 and Wilfred Viau laughed when this sum was mentioned to him at Saratoga The insurance on the Persian poet will be increased during the winter
 The horse that carries the greatest amount of insurance is Campfire. R. IT. Wilson placed the value of $1OO,- 900 on him last winter after the son of Olambala had won the Futurity and retired the best two-year-old of

EXPECT RESULTS
FROM The SOIL

Now that increased production is so
important from the national point Of
view, and so desirable from the per-
sonal point of view, it behooves every
farmer to look to the soil for results.
The soil has been compared to a
bank in which the farmer may or may
not make deposits. To keep the bank
account where personal checks will be
honored deposits of money must be
made. To keep the soil account where
crops may grow and yield well, de-
posits of fertilizers and lime and ma
nures and elovers must be made.
A letter addressed to the Division
of Extension, University of Knoxville,
will bring your information as to the
needs of your soil in actual punds Of
fertility. That is, if you do not have
that information at hand yourself.
If you do not know what your soil
needs, come as near getting the right
things and the right amounts as you
possibly can.
Apply them and you may expect re-
suits from your soil.

Governmental
IDEAS OF HONOR

President Wilson on several occa-
sions, notably in his War Message, Of
April 2 and in his reply to the peace
note of the Pope, has called attention
to the fact that no peace can be main
tanned with the Imperial German gov
eminent; that no autocratic govern
ment such as this can be trusted to kee
faith; that only a free people a hold
their purpose and their honor steady
to a common need, and prefer the in
terest of mankind to any narrow inter
est of their own.
The president was only r~estating a
difference between two systems Of
governmental policy, two different gov
ernmental ideas Of national honor, that
has long existed. The quotations Civ
en- below show the American idea of
a nations honor from the inception of
this government down to the present
day and the idea of national honor held
by the German government since the
days of Frederick the Great.
"The foundations of our national
policy will be laid in the pure and i'm
mutable principles of private morality.
There exists in the cours of nature an
~indissoluble union of virtue and happi-
ness, between duty and advantage, be-
tween honest policy and public felic-
ity. The smiles of heaven can never
be expected on a government that DIS
regards the eternal rules Of order and
right, which heaven itself has ordain-
ed."-George Washington, Presidenr
of the United States. April, 1889.
1--WE are at the beginning of an age
in which it will be insisted that the
same standards Of conduct and respon-
sibility for wrong done shall be OBJ
served among nations and their gov
ernments that are observed among
the individual citizens of civilized
states. - Wilson, President
Of the United States.
Eve are now in a state Of necessity
and necessity knows no law. Our
troops have occupied neutral Luxem-
burg and perhaps already have enter
ed Belgian territory. This is a breech
of international law. The wrong we
hereby commit we viii try to make
good as soon as our military aims
have been attained. He who is mem
aced as we are, and is fighting for his
highest possession, can only consider
how he is to hack his way through"
The German Chancellor Addressing
the Reichstag, August 4, 1914.
The German Chancellor was simply
following the keynote given by Fred
erick the Great speaking in 1740: "The
question of right is an affair of minis
tiers. Take what you can; you are new
er wrong unless you are obligedto give
back"
Contrast the American and the
German standards Of national honor.

come it will be a peace that will leave
the ruthless German autocracy utterly
laid low. St. Helena opens her arms
TO Kaiser Wilhelm, and he will be most
fortunate if he is condemned to no
worse penalty for all his crimes. The
boosted German progress has been
founded on falsehood, intrigue and
u~nderhand methods; in a purely mate
rial that progress is wonderful,
but the whole principle of it is wrong.
The Germans for generations have
been deliberately fed on lies. A Ger
man officer was made prisoner on the
French front the other day, and the
things he told showed that he was to-
tally ignorant of the real war situa-
ton. The Berlin authorities had de-
clared that the United States would not
take any active part in the war. We
were only in it for dollars, and we would
never risk fighting, Anyway, we would
be unable to raise an army, and the
reports that had been made as to the
landing of U. S. troops in France were
wholly untrue. Such was the tale
that had been told the German soldiers
to cheer them up. When this officer
was taken before Gen. Pershing and
the latter told him what vast war
preparations this country was under
taking, and what a big start had been
made in sending forces to Europe, the
prisoner broke into tears and exclaim-
ed; "Then Germany is lost" That
German officer, himself a victim Of the
system which he had so faithfully
served, correctly sized up the situation

forget or overlook the fact that an adj

securing that personnel. The differ

A SHORT ROAD TO POWER.

Why is it that, although we have in
this country the freest system Of edu-
cation in the world, and according to
our own belief, the best, we neverthe-
less send our boys and girls, especial
~ boys, who not only cannot make a
passably good speech, but who cannot
V e express themselves briefly and
inteligibly in an ordinary business
meeting?
There is a screw loose somewhere,
1t is, of course, not to be expected that
even the best of teaching could make
orators, for eloquence and the power
to move an audience are gifts granted
to but few; but it is not too much to
ask that when a boy has been gradu-
ated from a high school and is serv-
ing as a member Of the executive COM
mittee of a snowshoe club or a Bible
class he shall be able to make an oral
report to that committee without "hem
ming" and having" repeating him
self and becoming as garulous as Sa-
mantha Allen.
The trouble is partly with the school
perhaps chiefly. In the young mans
lazy, wandering report you have only
a repetition Of the kind Of r~ecitations
he has been allowed to make in school
for the preceding ten or twelve years.
His teachers, instead of demanding
concise and clean-cut statements,
have been content to accept any offer
ing in which they could discern a we'll
intentioned answer. So long as he
could convince them that he knew
what to say, all was well.
But not all the blame can be laid on
the schools. Parents, too, are at fault.
Suppose a soldier were allowed to
SLOUGH up to his superior officer, omit
the salute, and lean against a tent pole
while he delivered his message, should
you expect him to have any military
carriage or "snap?" That is exactly
what the average father let his boy
do when the boy tries to tell him
something. Instead, he should insist
that when the boy comes to him to con-
vey a message or make a statement he
shall stand at attention in the intel
lectual sense; that he shall click his
mental heels together and make his
mind address his superior with vigor
and alertness.
Finally, there is the boy himself. In
the end it is he, and he alone, who can
stop his slovenly speaking, and learn
to be clear, concise and pithy. Prac-
tlce, young man, practice! Think over
what you want to say, and say it aloud
to yourself, alone. Study it, to see if
you have said all that you want to say,
and said it clearly. Then see if you
can say it in fewer words; and if you
can, do it. At last, when the great
occasion comes, speak clearly, and loud
enough for everyone to hear; then sit
down. In a little while you will have
a reputation as a wonderfully effective
speaker. 1t will not be altogether de-
served, but other speakers will be so
Ineffective by contrast that it will
seem as if it were.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

We beg to announce that the First National Bank and the First Saw
ings Bank & Trust So, of Brownsville, Tenn, have beencons ~idatedunder
the name of THE FIRST STATE BANKof Brownsville Tenn, withapaid
up capital of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, and with the same officers
and directors who have managed the business of the First National Bank
for so many years.
Since the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank System, which
is really the United States Government Banking System now. there is no
special reason why a bank should operate under a National Bank charter
if the state laws are good especially if the bank is member of the Federal
Reserve System. Within the last few years good bank laws have been
passed in Tennessee. Supervision by State authorities, examinations and
restrictions are ample for protection of depositors, and the laws are
adapted to local needs. THE FIRST STATE BANK will not only be u-
der state supervision, but has already taken steps to enter the Federal
Reserve Bank System, and as a member of this System will be under Gov
eminent Supervision as well as State control.
The Bank is larger and stronger than ever before in its history, and
is in better position to serve its customers. The same careful policy which
built up this large, successful business will be continued by the officers and
directors, with due regard for the safety of the funds entrusted to them by
deposHors, and for the best good Of the whole community.
We ask for the FIRST STATE BANK a continuance of the confidence
and support with which you have favored the First National Bank in the
past Certificates of Deposit may be held by our customers until maturity
and then exchanged for new certificates, or the change will be made at the
pleasure of our customer. All outstanding obligations of the National
Bank are now obligations Of the First State Bank.
New check books will be furnished to depostors as rapidly as possible
be h onored by the First State Bank.
