MOVEMENT FOR FAIR
IN SEQUATCHIE COUNTY

Dunlap, Sept. 7.-There is a
movement to have a county fair
in Sequatchie county some time in
October. Each year the public
schools of the county have a rally
and educational exhibit and it is
proposed to transform this into a
fair, which a very little effort
would do. The school rally last
year was especially interesting,
and contained many valuable ex-
hibits. The Tribune, the local
paper. published at Dunlap, is
advocating the movement vigor-
ously, and endeavoring to get the
citizens interested. A fine fair
could be held if only for one day.
1t is mentioned toutilize the court
house for the exhibits of vege-
tables, preserves, canned goods,
grains, etc., and exhibit the live
stock in the adjacent streets. A
band could be secured for the day
and make the affair most enjoy
able. A carnival company could
also be secured. Active arrange
ments in the matter will probably
be placed in the hands of COM
mittee in a few days, the citizens
being called in meeting for the
the purpose of appointing pro-
posed committee.

FAITHFUL DAD.

The following was contributed
by one of our correspondents who
thinks it is worth printing:
The editor of a country weekly
who happened to be in quiet
home and found, What Is Home
Without a Mother?" over one
parlor door and God Bless Our
Home, over another, thus moral
ICES in manner which contains
a sermon within Itself,
Now what is the matter with
God Bless Our Dad" He gets
up early. lights the fire, boils an
egg, grabs his dinner pail and
wipes off the dew Of the lawn
with his boots while many moth
err is sleeping. He makes the
weekly handout for the butcher,
the grocer. the milk man and
baker, and his little pile is bedly
worn before he has had it an
hour. He stands off the bailiff
and keeps the rent paid up. If
there is a noise during the night,
Dad is kicked in the back and
made to 60 down stairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother
darns the socks, but dad bought
the socks in the first place and
the needles and the yarn after
ward. Mother does up the fruit.
Well, Dad bought it all, and jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself
and draws the neck from the
ruins after everyone else is serv-
ed. What Is Home Without a
Mother?" Yes, that's all right,
but What Is Home Without a
Father?" Ten chances to one, it
is a boarding house, father is un-
der slab, and the landlady is a
widow. Dad, here's to you, you
have got your faults you may
have lots of them-but you're all
right, and we'll miss you when
you're gone.

Why Not The Navy7
Editor News:

Editor News:
No doubt everyone approves of
Mr.. Raulston S army suggestion,
but it seems as if the boys of the
Navy from Sequatchie Valley
fail to get a volunteers share.
In the present var the army and
navy are weapons Of the United
States. The army is for often
sive work; the navy will always
be in the defensive. The follow
ing questions will, hope, make
the readers of the. News see more.
clearly the Importance of our
navy.
What makes the U-boats hard
to find?
What protects our coasts and
commerce from attact?
What makes it possible to send
an army to Europe?
If our army fails IN Europe,
who will you depend on to pre-
vent German invasion of the
country in which you live?
To this there is only one ans
wer, the navy. The present ma
Wy has been in the making since
1906, and to my knowledge there
has never been a battleship hav-
ing conscripted men aboard.
When the sailors of Sequatchie
Valley read Mr.. Raulston's plans,
they will all ask themselves the
same question, why are not sail
ors included in the Honor Roll?

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

cation? Is it only a veneer, a
something on the surface of the
life of nations said to be civilized
and equipped with all the advan-
tages and comforts coming from
civilization? Why is it that af-
ter nearly 1000 years from the
birth of a redeemer that camps
have to be established to teach
the youth of a nation the best
methods of slaughtering the youth
of another nation claiming a like
amount of civilization" and
worshipping the same God? These
questions naturally arise when
one reads the following taken
from the news columns of the
Chattanooga News:

This is not the battle cry of
the blood-thirsty Hun. 1t is not
the frenzied shrek of the heather

Just how to jab an enemy under
the chin so that the point of the
bayonet will reach the base of the
brain but will not hang in the bone
and be difficult to extract, has been
carefully explained so that the
boys, without actual demonstra-
ton, are quite sure that they can
perform the operation with ease.
But if it hangs put yonr boot in

Up EFFORTS TO HAVE
WAR COME TO END
PoNTlFF'S BELIEF, SAYS ROME
REPORT, is THAT MILITARY
POWER rs MORE EFFICIENT
THAN INTERNAL REFORMS.

Washington, ept S.-Pope Benedic
will not relax his efforts for peace
An authoritative source here today de
clared the Vatican does not consider
President Wilson's reply to the late
note has closed the matter
Already a new plan for satisfaction
OF the United States, demands for
overthrow of German militarism has
been informally advanced 1t is this:
The Pope already has proposed and
President Wilson has accepted the
doctrine Of universal reduction Of
ornaments
The Vatican is credited with the
belief reduction Of ornaments
would destroy more el1ectually the
power Of German military autocracy
than would internal reform OF Ger
manys constitution
Further replies are expected at the
Vatican within the next few weeks
from the central powers and from
certain of the allies Following re
ceipt ana careful consideration OF
those replies another note will be ad-
dressed by the Pope to the world.
An authentic altho unofficial OUT
line of the present position of the
Vatican has been made from here. /
II is roughly as follows:
I. The crime the allies charge
against Germany already stand con-
demned in the public utterances of
his holiness.
2 In his potential character as a
Judge or mediator the Pope cannot
now express his opinion as to whether
the allied charges are true and Ger
many guilty.
3. "The issue has been joined as
the lawyers say, and the only way to
determine justice of the allied claims
and the guilt or innocence Of Ger
many is not in the heat Of battle, but
in the calm of the council chamber.
Further, the intimation has been
broadly made in behalf of the Vati-
can that Germany is guilty on Ger
nany's own admission
Restoration Of Belgium is one of
he terms of the Pope's proposal, and
his means he considers Germany
guilty Of at least this violation of in
law

idering President Wilson's reply az
