FUEL VALVE OF FOOD.

\ Consider the furnace. theoretically

production Of heat. If the proper am

properly managed, the chances ar :
that it will heat the house properly.
If. on the other hand, too much or too
little fuel is put into st, If the fuel
contains too much noninflamable ma
terial. if the fire is not kept clean Of
ashes, or if the hampers are badly
regulated, the furnace operates inef-
ficiently or ceases working altogether
Perhaps the most important thing
next to putting in the fuel is to clean
out the ashes. If these are allowed
to accumulate in the ash pit. the CRATE
bars may be burned out.
Food is taken into the human body

THE YAMA YAMA IN TO WIN.

The Yama Yamas were in town
with their menagerie last Thursday
night. They captured Bill Parkhurs;.
Sidney Bloom and NJ Green. Of Rich
field and held them over night for
ransom but when they heheld their
victims in broad daylight the next
morning they turned them loose with
a warning to hit the grit. The ami
mails which appeared in this menag-
erie were like the Bible description OF
man "fearfully and wonderfully made"
At ten thirty the masks We're all re-
moved and the animal cages opened
so that the freaks soon disappeared
and about 100 couples Of X p. folks
and their friends appeared on the
scene. Next to the masquerade the
most exciting incident was a basket
ball game played by Gilbert White.
Bill Newman, Art Hansen. Judge
Boutwell, and DIR. H. Baugh. all ex-
perts who not only never played be-
fore but never heard OF the game be-
fore judging from their crack shots at
the basket. From the applause the
players received you would think them
a bunch of heroes spelled with lower
case letters. At some time the next
the party adjourned and ev-
eryone went away feeling that a
most enjoyable evening had been
spent.

GUN DISCHARGED
LOAD ENTERS FACE

Mr.. Johnnie Smith, about Fl years
of age, and residing three miles
northwest Of Martin, was terribly
injured on last Thursday, when his
shot gun was accidently discharged,
the load Of squirrel shot entering the
chin and tearing off part Of his face.
The accident occurred near Mr..
Smiths home. He and three other
men were squirrel hunting, and he
undertook to remove the gun from
the buggy, the trigger or hammer
struck the side of the buggy, when
the gun was discharged, the load Of
shot entering the under side Of his
chin. All the teeth in his lower jaw
were carried away and his under
jaw badly lacerated.
Smiths companions carried him
home, thinking him dead, but he re-
vived and the attending physician
thinks he has splendid chance for
recovery. However, he will be dis
figured for life.

DRESDEN'S FIRST
ELECTRIC SIGN

1t will perhaps go down in history
that Dresden was the first town in
the county to install flash electric
sign-and the Weakley County Bank,
always to the fore in progressive,
up-to-date measures, enjoys the dis
tinction of installing this electric
flash sign, which is the national flag.
This beautiful, attractive emblem
OF liberty may be seen going and
coming in the window of the Weak
ley County Bank any evening. It
has attracted widespread attention.
It shows the patriotism of Killebrew
and Bruce and it demonstrates the
progressive spirit of this bank.
The Weakley County Bank will do
more than this-it will put in a large
plate glass front, thus adding greatly
to the attractiveness Of the place.

CITIZENS PLAN TO GIVE
BIG DEMONSTRATION
Each of Three Squads Leaving Dresden
to be Presented Comfort Kit
and rendered Barbecue.

When the Weakley county
soldier boys leave Dresden for
camp it will be with a long,
lingering memory of the re-
ception rendered them in Dres-
den upon the eve Of their de-
parture. It will be with q de-
termination to honor the flag
and reflect due credit upon
those who arranged and gave
them the magnificent reception
which is being planned for
them. It will be with renewed
determination to win new glO-
ries for themselves and the
grand old county of Weakley
that gave them birth. These
boys will not be permitted to
leave here without the seal OF
approval, without a due mark
of appreciation of their ser.
vices nor without the stamp OF
the love and ESTEEM of their
countrymen, for plans are in
the making that will show ou1
Weakley county boys how well
we at home wish them in their
journey to battle the great
foe.

for travel and to receive some Of
the automobile money for mainten-
ance.

BIG STOCK SALE
DRAWS BIG CROWD

The W. L. McCaleb livestock sale,
held in Dresden on Wednesday, at
tracted a large crowd to Dresden,
despite threatening weather, which,
however, kept hundreds away from
thesale. A heavy rain fell just be-
fore noon in the heat Of the pony
sale, which was continued at the iv-
cry barn.
Everything was sold, except the
sheep. The prices bid on the sheep,
one pen selling, were so low that Mr..
McCaleb announced he could not at
ford to let them go. In all 81 ponies
were sold, some as cheap as rs,
while others brought good prices.
The goats, 100 in number, sold rap
idly, as did also rs head Of CATTLE
the mules and hogs.
Bidding was not up to McCaleb's
expectations, and prices received for
the stuff was not altogether salts
factory. The sale was cried by
Messrs. Freech and Blair.
In the drawing contest the heifer
went to jim Essary, near town, ana
the pony buggy to Col FTeech, OF
Bradford.

Greenfield Training School.

i Mr.. Grant Clark informs the En-
terprise that plans have been per-
fected for the opening Of Greenfield
Training School on next Monday,
and that the outlook is for the most
suspicious opening in the history Of
this well-known institution. Mr..
Hendrickson, the new president, has
been on the ground for some time
getting things in readiness and the
citizens Of the town and community
are lending him every encourage
nent in his efforts to make this the
banner year Of the Greenfield Train
ing School. This school has worked
a revolution in that community
one that will count for good in the
years that are yet to come, and it
should have the backing of all good
people.

A Tale of Two Sleeves.

The film, "A Tale of Two Sleeves"
which will be shown at the Kozy on
Thursday night and at the Lillian
Theatre, Martin, Friday night, Aug.
"a, is a picture well worth seeing by
everyone who is interested in auto
biles or travel, states Mr.. Moran, Of
Moran & McCuan, distributors Of
Overland cars in Weakley county.
It not only shows the wonderful
mechanism Of the Knight motor, but
some Of the most beautiful scenes
of the Rocky mountains as viewed
from a WHY'S Knight car are brought
wildly before you.
1t took months of labor and thous-
ands Of dollars before the WHY'S
Overland Company would permit this
film to 60 before the public, but,
like all Of their products, neither
time nor money were stinted to make
it success.

soldiers and committees of citizens,
after appropriate addresses at the
square. 1t ispart of the program
also to provide each boy with a
comfort kit, containing all the lit
tie articles he will need in camp;
and one of Dresden's generous citi-
zens already has purchased 800 good
razors, one of which he will present
each boy. The comfort kits viii be
made up by the Red Cross ladies of
the various towns, while the money
to pay for the kits and contents win
be subscribed by patriotic citizens
who propose letting these boys know
that Weakley countians are back Of
them.
At Tuesdays meeting the county
was divided into sections and each
community is required to raise it's
part of the funds necessary for the
three demonstrations. The total
amount needed will be about 81, 200.
At small meeting in Dresden ON
Monday afternoon the sum of $225
was voluntarily raised within ten
minutes, demonstrating the enthu-
siasm manifest here.
| The districts allotted to the sew
eral towns in which to secure dona-
tons are: Dresden, Nos. 1, A, 5, 4,
10, "a and rs. Martin, Nos. 2, 8,
ID, 10, II and 20. Greenfield,
Nos. 9, Is, 16, 10 and %. Sharon,
Nos. 8 and 10. Gleason, Nos. s,
II, IL and 20.
Since boys from every community
in the county will be included in the
number to be thus honored, it is
presumed that every community will
want to do its share toward raising
the sum necessary for the enter
tainment and patriotic citizens of
these communities are urged to send
in their donations.
In each of the above designated
towns there is a local finance COM
mittee and contributions may be sent
to them, Or any contribution sent
from any portion of the county to
Senator R. A. Elkins, at Dresden will
be credited to the community from
which sent. Mr.. Elkins is chairman
of the general finance committee.
This ought to bet will be the
most memorable day in the entire
history Of grand old Weakley coun-
ty. The mothers and fathers, sis
tiers and brothers, wives and sweet
hearts will assemble in Dresden to
bid these soldier boys God-speed, to
breathe prayer for their victory
and for their safe return home. It
will draw the largest crowd to the
old town ever witnessed here.
God bless our noble soldier boys

community, with a central committee
! in Dresden.
Weakley county's quota of 275 will
assemble in Dresden in three squads,
the first on the day of Sept. a, leav-
ing the following day ;the second or
Sept. 18, leaving the following day,
and the third on Oct. 2, leaving the
following day. In each squad there
will be about or near 100 boys. They
will remain over night in Dresden
and it is proposed that the homes of
the town be thrown open to them for
the night and breakfast next morning
before leaving. This will be done.

scribed in well-bound book, togeth-
er with a brief history Of each.
This, together with the photograph
will be filed away in the archives of
the courthouse; a historian will be

Of each boy, both here at home and
upon the battlefields, the date Of his
sailing, landing, dates and places Of
battles he engages in, wounds re-
ceived, if any, date Of his return
home, etc. This record in the long,
long years to come win be Of price

British Front, France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 22.-The fierce battle
which began at dawn today on the
outskirts of the city of Lens contin-
ued throughout the day at close quar-
tiers and late this afternoon there
was no dimunition in the intensity
of the struggle between the attack
ing Canadians and the Germans.
The Canadians this morning fought
their way forward with bombs and
bayonets and occupied important
enemy defenses northwest and south
west of the heart Of the city and
since then the Germans have been
.seending in wave after wave Of in
fantry in desperate counter at
tacks.

All the counter attacks by the Ger
man crown princes forces against
Gen, Petain's men on the newly cap
tured ground in the Verdun sector
have been ill-starred; those Of Crown
Prince Rupprecht against the dough

brought nothing more than an az

casualties his troups have suffered
in their attempts to save the impor-
tant coal center from capture.
