THIS SHOULD MAKE YOU
 SMACK YOUR LIPS WHEN YOU THINK PIES TO COME

If little Jack Horner lived in Ska w2v he wouldn't be dreaming of Christmas pies, with big fat plums Iwaiting for his greedy thumbs to extract. Not Skagway Jack. He'd be thinking of summer huckleber- " pies of which the bloom on the bushes on A. B. mountain now give promise.
 "Theleu be enough berries for everyone in skagway to have pies during the season and to can for winter pse," is the report brought hack by those who have recently tramped up A. B. to the berry patch The quantity of bushes is said to be larger than ever before, and ev- cry bush loaded with bloom.
 Two years ago a forest fire des- troyed the berry patch but the bush es are reported tAis year to be ready to respond to the call of the Amer ican table.

 SEA LEGS so THEY LOST
 BALL CAME TO sKAGWAY

Under a spanking breeze the baseball nine of the United States cable ship, Burnside, sailed into skagway last evening and dropped an chor at the ball park. They were a jolly crew, and the roll os the sea on which they'd been cruising the past month for broken cables, was stiii in their legs.
 That was the trouble. They'd have been all right on deck but the diamond didn't pitch enough. When the game ended, the first night game in Skagway this season, the score stood S2 to 4 in favor of Skag way.
 Baker caught for the Burnside team, Mills and Wallace pitched and Brown was in command. Cole and Dortero were the Skagway bat tery. A big crowd of fans enjoyed the game.

am greatly Interested in the
improvement of rural life in our
State. | believe the rural pro-
blem to be one of our most SER
ious problems. For this reason
| have given it my most serious
thought. After careful consid-
Grafton | am persuaded the only
way to improve and enrich rural
life is through community organ
ization. For this reason | hope
to see every county in our State
organized into community units
with the school house as the cen.
ter where the people can meet to
consider all their common inter-
ests.
The proposed campaign will be
put on in every county where it
is desired. The request must
come through the county super
intendent of public instruction.
| feel sure every teacher in
the State will be greatly inter-
ested in this great work for the
teacher is the logical community
organizer. | hope all interested
in better rural life will give our
teachers hearty support in or
ganizing their communities. If
the campaign is put on in your
county, some time during August
or September your committee
will be called to meet at your
school house to organize. A
program will be arranged by the
teacher and county superintend-
ent. Be sure to attend. If in
terested, write your county sup
erintendent or me for booklet of
information.

The Immortal Cowards.

We are the Cowards immortal
the men who feared dishonor
and who quailed at shame.
Because we respected self
more than life and dreaded de-
gradation more than death, our
names are flaming torches.
We saw the whip the Persian
brought from Greece, and there
fore did not cringe to see his
million spears. And every Alpine
pass has heard our trembling
prayers beseech kind God for
strength to perish if we might
not hold our mountains clean for
freedom.
Had we not paled beside our
women as the Turk set forth to
sweep the West, we would have
failed to beat him back, No
wound that weapon brings could
make a torture comparable to
their debasement.
And at Waterloo, because re-
treat demanded all our pride. we
chose the path to glory and bless
ed the bayoDets in our breaking
hearts.
From Concord and from the
Alamo we call to you, from Val
ley Forge and from Holaklava,
from the wastes and the wilds
and the frontier blockhouse, and
from every grave that marks a
martyrdom. we cry you to your
duty-carry on.
The price of liberty is dear,
but liberty is more precious than
its dearest price.
Fear God and conscience and
humiliation AMI injustice and de-
feat; serve your fears with valor,
and defend the high faiths OF
Humanity. From August, 1917,
Cosmopolitan.

Municipal Election.

An election is to be held in
Cainesboro, Saturday, July 28, to
elect a Mayor and board of AL
dermen. This election should in
terest every citizen in the corpor-
alton, not because we have not
heretofore had good men in
these places, but we must keep
good men in them. We hope
that everybody will wake up
and take an interest in this thing.
1t seems to be running in Kind
of a loose way. Lets tighten up,
and get some real life into it and
have corporation that every
citizens will be proud of. One
that a stranger will recognize as
as soon as he gets inside the
limits, and will not have to ask
if the town is incorporated.

STATE wide Community
CAMPAIGN.
Will Soon Begin in Every
County for Better Educa.
tiOnal, Farming and
Health Conditions.

! No greater nor more important
campaign has ever been waged
in Tennessee tina that soon to be
waged by our educational forces,
assisted by the departments of
Agriculture and Health. This
campaign is for community or
ganization to secure better edu-
cational, agricultural, and health
condition.
No effective work can be done
along these lines without organi-
zation. The reason people living
in towns and cities have advan-
tages that people living in rural
districts do not have is because
of organization. If the people
of the rural districts will organ
ize as is planned in this cam
paign they can bring to them
selves unthought of improve
ments.
First, we believe there should
be definitely fixed community
boundaries and every citizen
should know to what community
he belongs and owes allegiance.
We believe there are no better
boundaries for our communities
than those fixed for our schools
and the people belonging to a
school should constitute a COM
munity.
AS the county has a common
center, the court house, so the
community must have a center
and we believe this center should
be the school house. Every COM
munity should have a community
house, place where the people
can meet for any purpose and
where school is conducted.
The people of a community
need to meet and determine those
things that will be for their best
interests as a community.
We believe every patriotic cit
izen desires to see better educa-
tional, agricultural, and health
conditions in his community and
we urge every community to or,
ganize and appoint committees
whose duty it will be to look af-
ter these interests. These COM
mittees will receive most hearty
cooperation from the state de-
partments representing these in
| tereStS.
The educational committee
should see that the community or
school house is comfortable, at
tractive and sanitary, that the
grounds are beautiful and made
homelike, 1t should see that the
social advantages are as they
should be. 1t should create a
demand for long school terms,
efficient teachers and a more
strict enforcement of the attend
ance law.
The agricultural committee
should consider, the community
problems along the lines of pro-
duction, distribution and conSer-
vation-ali the problems relating
to the agricultural activities of
the farm and of the home.
The health committee by max
ing sanitation the care of the
community can protect the health
of the individual. The major
causes of death in our stote are
found in diseases that are to a
large extent preventable. Though
an active committee aided by To-
cal physicians and the state de-
partments of health, many of our
most dreaded diseases can be

A DAY AT Fl. OCLE-
THORPE.
BY CLARA COX EPPERSON

Miss Lenice Ingram, of Rock
wood, and |, met my sister, Mrs.
Lucus and her party Of five, in
Chattanooga, Friday night. The
South Carolina party had enjoy.
ed a beautiful trip in their car
from Laurens, via Atlanta to
Chattanooga, over a pike that
was a smooth boulevard all the
way.
On Saturday morning, Joined
by Misses Ara and Clara Ander-
son in their car, we went out to
Oglethorpe, reaching there at
II o'clock, just before the lunch
hour and after all drills were
over with the exception of a sig
nal drill which we enjoyed. So
we were fortunate in finding our
boys from Cookeville, Algood
Laurens and some from Nash
vile, very soon.
The barracks occupied by the
men of the training camp are
side by side, down a long, wide
driveway, and on the outside of
each is the number of the COM
pany. Across the driveway from
each is the mess hall for the
company, with the number also
on the outside of the building.
We walked up this long drive
way, asking for the boys we
knew as we reached oach ones
company. Soon we had in our
procession, Edwin Lucas, Sam
Epperson. Donald Russell, Jere
Barnes. Will Craig. Mr.. Quarles,
Paul Sloan, David Lansden. and
many others from Tennessee and
South Carolina. We then rested
under the trees and watched
with interest all of the compan-
les march from the barracks over
to the mess halls for lunch. so
we formed a pretty good idea of
how many boys were there, and
| realize tn at it is wise mother
who would know her own son in
the ranks of so many Khaki-clad
boys.
One thing that is very notice
able, is the way the boys have
Strengthened up and the erect
bearing that makes them all ap-
pear much taller. The square
shoul ders make them also look
larger, and the brown ruddy
complexlons show exposure to
weather and sun, but also that
both have been good for health
and the clear bright eyes prove
that the life has been free from
dissipation, for sleep they must
if they hold up in the rigid re-
gime of study and work; for
with the physical work they
have had to study very hard and
stand examinations as if they
were in school: so it has been 3
months of very profitable exper-
ience, if they can be spared the
sacrifice of life.
The morale of the training
camp is one of good humor and
jolly comradeship and that day
we could hear the splashing of
the shower baths as an accom-
paniment to the cheerful songs
that went up from each barracks
for they knew that another week
of work was over and a good va
cation was before them. Most
of them were excused from du-
ties at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon until taps at 10 o'clock Sun
day night or reveille Monday
morning. But that morning
there had been an inspection of
barracks and men, and all who
did not have their cots made up
neatly with clean linen and
strapped just so. to the wall,
their guns in spotless order and
themselves in good condition,
even to their teeto. were made
