HEATHENS VS.. CHRISTIANS.

Prof. Gus Dyer's definition of the
heather and The Christian" is pref
ty apt More lectures like that of Mr..
Dyer delivered at the Methodist
church recently should be heard in
this and every other community. 1t
would be fine idea to have Mr.. Dyer
speak in every community of Maury
county.
If there Is anything that must be
combatted and overcome, if we are to
have real community progress, it is
the spirit of selfishness, the lack of
public spirit so characteristic of many
who but for this failure could be yer,
useful public servants. One does not
have to be elected or appointed to
office to serve the public. His oppor-
tunities are often just as great or
greater in private station.
There is not a community IN this
county where the "heathens" speaking
in Dyers sense. do not impede prog
ress. There would be better schools,
better churches and improved roads
If there were more of Mr.. Dyer's
Christians that is men and women
who would rather serve others than
have others serve them. Many like to
sit back and shift all the burdens OF
public service, of general community
welfare to the shoulders of others.
They are perfectly willing to enjoy all
the benefits that come from the un-
selfish efforts of others but they sim.
ply decline to be participants in the
effort necessary to bring about the
benefits.
AS Mr.. Dyer well said the Christian
is the individual man or woman, who
would rather serve than be served.
That is the real spirit of the Christ,
1t is the first essential Of the true
follower of the lowly Nazarene. 1t is
this that lifts the Christian above all
other creeds and religions 1t is this
spirit that lights and illumines the
whole world. This unselfish desire to
do for others that all may be benefit
ted is the very spirit Of the Christ who
suffered and died that men might live
after DEATH 1t is the spirit that has
builded asylums, and hospitals and
schools for the afflicted and the deaf
and the dumb. 1t is the spirit that
moves all of our charities.
All have this great privilege and
opportunity of being Christians, of
getting the spirit of the Christ. How
very, very few of us really avail our
selves of it. Why not a life of SER
| vice? Why complain at the frequent
demands that are made upon our time
and means and efforts for the good of
others? After all is not that very
/ thing the best opportunity to really
enjoy this life? What does the wo-
man or the man who lives apart from
the activities Of the world, who has
no place in the movements to make
the pathway of humanity easier and
better and brighter, really get out OF
| life? What a barren, what bleak
and what a narrow road must the
heather travel. Who would ex-
change the glorious privilege of being
an unselfish. humanity serving Chris
ton with all the burdens that the
term implies for any life OF ease and
luxury and selfishness that the most
opulent heather" may lead?

THE SALARY BILL.

Rocky road ahead for the anti-fee
BILL" says headline. No doubt OF
it. When the legislature separates the
overpaid officials of the larger coun-
ties of Tennessee from their fees and
substitutes reasonable salary new
chapter will be written. 1t is not go
ing to be an easy task. Just twenty
years ago the legislature enacted a
bill putting all county officers on sal
aries. 1t was Immediately attacked
successfully in the courts. Since. that
time at each recurring session an
effort has been made to bring about
the same reform.
The fee system ought to be abol-
ished. There can be no defense of it..
At the same time the salary act should
take care, as far as possible, that no
injustice is done. Some of the CLASH
6cations in the new act are wrong.
Some Of the salaries allowed are so
far below what they should be that
needless opposition is going to be in
Cured. The officials of the county
should be fairly and adequately com
pensated There should be no impair
ment of the public service through a
false sense of economy. Make the
compensation liberal and equitable,
taking into consideration the respon-
'ibilities as well as the duties of the
officials affected, and then enact a gen.

The plan of these sales is as fol-
lows: On the days advertised a pur-
chaser who buys an article on sale
at its regular advertised price is en-
titled to buy another article of the
same kind for l cent. For instance,
the regular price Of Rexall tooth

Unequally adjusted rear wheel
brakes are a potent cause Of skidding
and it is wise to make frequent tests
Of the parts for incorrect adjustment.
1t Is necessary to have someone with
you to watch the wheels. Drive the
car along a dry road, accelerate
quickly and then suddenly apply the
brakes. If one wheel slides while the
other is revolving, it may be taken
for granted that the brakes are not
holding with equal effectiveness.

Bouquet From a
Passing Stranger

Last year Russell Winslow made a
tour of southern Oregon by automo-
bile. He stopped here a week and
was enamored of our climate and
scenery. On his return home he
wrote story Of his trip for Realty" +"
national magazine Of development,
circulating especially among those in
terested in real estate, in which we
find the following bouquet for Ash
land:
While this county has a number
Of progressive cities and towns, Ash
land might justly be given first place.
No city in the west has a keener ap-
probation of the value of recreation,
health and climate than has Ashland.
Within the city limits and In the i'm
mediate vicinity of Ashland there are
more than fifty highly mineralized
springs, including lithia springs, and
others containing combinations of
magnesia, sodium and iron. Ashland
voted bond issue of SITS, 900, which
was spent upon the development of
their springs and parks.
Tourists and campers are made
welcome without money and without
price to the many advantages Of
Lithia park. A camp ground has been
provided for them which is we'll light
ed and we'll cared for. The camp
grounds are connected with the vari-
GUS city conveniences. Gas stoves are
even available for the use Of the city's
guests, the gas being on tap by drop
ping coin in the slot. Throughout
the park are numerous natural
springs Of pure mountain water, as
well as fountains of mineral water.
Adjoining Lthia park are Chautau-
qua park and City park, while stretch
ing upward and southwark from
Lithia park toward the not far dis
'tant Siskiyou mountains is Ashland
canyon with thousands Of acres Of
natural playground. This canyon is
controlled by the city Of Ashland and
the national government, while the
upper part Of the canyon Is in the ma
tional forest, so that for all time to
come visitors will be assured of the
preservation Of this natural beauty
spot. From Ashland fishermen and
hunters are within easy reach of
splendid trout fishing and big game.
Wonderful views are to be had from
the gracefully curved and hard-sur-
faced roads that lead outward and
upward from Ashland"
Such advertising, though costing
the city not one penny, is worth thou
sands upon thousands of dollars, and
II continued for long will result in
doubling the population of this city.
The development work along resort
lines was made especially with the
view Of attracting and charming
strangers, to the end that what was
lacking in local publicity effort would
be made up by enthusiastic strangers
passing this way.

Sees HEAVY SHORTAGE
OF ALL AUTOMOBILES
Indications Are Detroit Is to Sufel
Freight Embargo.

THE question of most vital Importance
to both the automobile dealer and the
public right now is the shortage Of motor
cars" says the secretary and treasurer
of an automobile company. The state
ment applies to the entire country.
Detroit is the center of the automobile
industry, and the large majority Of the
cars which Gomez to this section are man
ufactured in that city. II is an admitted
fact that nearly every automobile fac
tory in the country is behind on its orders.
and while many of them are enlarging
their plants to take care of the increased
business, 1t will be some time before
these new buildings will be ready to give
the needed relief.
In addition to the fact that more peo-
pie are buying automobiles than ever,
there Is the constant demand from Eu-
rope for American-made cars. Further.
the shortage of material is another handi-
cap in the United States. as never before
were there such uses for steel and other
materials which go into the construction
OF an automobile as at present This Is
due largely to the war demand and the
| demands OF increased business brought
about by the war.
Another very important factor in the
situation is the freight car shortag ge
which is general throughout the country
! The transportation facilities of our great
railroad and steamship lines are totally
inadequate to handle the goods offered
| TO them. This Is nothing new. as 1t has
| been the situation for two years. and
growing constantly. Yet the ordinary In
6ividuaI never comes to realize just how
bad the situation is until he purchases
something that has to come from some
distant city by freight"

The use Of motor cars in the European
war and in the Mexican campaign has
taught many useful lessons and sug-
Eested interesting ideas. The possibility
Of defeating a sudden raid of the enemy
