day later a delegation Of non-coms,
veterans In the service, called on the
quartermaster-captain and demanded
that they be. supplied with candy and

A member Of the transport quarter
master staff recounted this to civil
lian who was commenting that the
soldiers were cramIned aboard the
transport like cattle" The trans
port man smiled wisely at the crit
icism and said: They don't mind
that, but you ought to have heard them
kick when the candy gave out"
The soldiers demand for candy is
a reminder that since the selective
draft act went into force the soldier
has been unable to secure liquor, at
least, In any regular quantity. Also,
Hit will remind the knowing that even
moderate users of alcohol soon de-

does more to prevent collisions, hard
words and i'll feeling -one thing that
keeps the traffic moving smoothly
and that is real smile.
As he motions with his original
eomical gestures to the drivers OF
vehicles when to come ahead, Peter
wears that everlasting smile. No traf.
fie is dense enough, no weather is
too hot, nor is any driver too grouchy
to spoil that smile. And the result
is that everybody else smiles, too, and
there is no pessimism at Merchant
and Fort street. N.-.,.=

No. $500 G.. U. O. of OF.

If there is young man who has
made for himself a name and record
worthy of mention, it is the one
whose likeness we present to our
readers in the person Of Mr.. Carl
Prevatt, who was, born in Camden,
Benton County, Tenn, 1888. Leav-
ing home more than 19 years ago,
he has travelled extensively and
gained wide and varied experience of
the ways of the world. The change
part of his life came years ago and
since that time he has proven him
self a worth to the community in
which he lives. AS chairman of the
Board Of Deacons Of his church and
Noble Grand of his Lodge, he shows
great executive ability. Much Gre
dit is due him for the very splendid
show made by the Odd Fellows in
their Annual Sermon on last Sum-
day. Much credit for his success in
life is due to his faithful and loving
wife, who was Miss Minnie Keeling,
of Paudauch, KY. They are COM
fortably and conveniently located at
