TENNESSEE MUST FURNISH
14,52S MEN FOR U. S. ARMY

Washington.-Formal announcement
has been made by the war department
that 687, 900 men will be selected from
those registered on June for the first
national war army and to fill up va
cancies in the national guard and the
regular army. Tennessee's quota to
the national army is 14,528.
Probably 1000 of the 1859 local ex-
emption boards have completed their
organization, giving serial numbers to
the cards within their districts and
filed certified copies of these numer-
ical lists. The Office Of Provost Mar
shall General Crowder had received g.
800 lists up to early last Friday and
undoubtedly hundreds more have been
received since then.
It was stated authoritatively that as
soon as the last board had reported
to the acknowledgement of the state
the federal government could begin the
drawing. The fact that all numerical
lists are either in Washington or in
the mail will be sufficient. It will not
be necessary for all to reach Washing
ton. Contrary 70 expectations, full
credit viii be given each state for en-

TO MERCHANTS AND OTHERS
WHO USE PRINTED MATTER

The Covington Leader has lately
Purchased the entire plant of the Tip
ton Record. This plant has recently
purchased a good collection of new
type and other facilities for job print
ing, and the Leader had also pur-
chased a splendid assortment of the
same kind Of material.
Now, since the combining of both
the plants, we feel safe in making the
assertion that there is no printing
office in the state better equipped for
turning out commercial printing Of
every kind than this ofice-in fact,
we do printing of every description,
from the largest scarehead poster to
the daintiest invitation or card.
We will continue to make prices as
reasonable as possible under present
conditions, and respectfully solicit
your mail order, assuring you of our
best and most prompt service and
highest appreciation.
Hoping to be favored with an order
for whatever you may need in the
near future and thanking you for IA
vors in the past, we are
Cordially yours,

PLAN FOR EGGS AT SEW
ENTY-FIVE CENTS A DOZEN
Save the PulIets That Will Be the
MOney-Makers This Winter When
Eggs Will Bring Fancy Prices.

Shipments of poultry to market at
the present time show many healthy,
early, well developed pullets going
forward.
This is a grave mistake for the
reason that in every community there
are those who would willingly pur-
chase and keep the pullets for laying
purposes this fall and winter, if they
knew who had the surplus. Is it not
possible for those who have more pull
let's than they need to advise their
county agent or let it be known at
the stores? Those who want to pur-
chase can let their needs be known in
the same way.
We are going to need all the layers
we can get this fall and winter when
eggs will, in all probability, bring 75c
or more a dozen.
Do not forget that it is the pullet
weighing two pounds early in July
that will lay in the early fall. The
late Matched pullet (say May or June)
will not lay before January.
Market all cockerels as soon as they
weigh IA pounds, and market the
hens over two years old, but be pa
triotic enough to save the young hens
and all pullets that have any likeli-
hood Of being layers Save the pullets
even if they are not as much as a
first cross Of some pure breed, and at
this time buy a couple of purebred
Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red,
Wyandotte or Orpington cockerels
and raise them up for next years
breeding sires.
To wait to buy males in the fall, as
usual, will be too late Most breeders
are selling cockerels close and they
will be expensive this fall. A cock
erel of good breeding that can be
bought now as fryer at $500 will
cost $500 or more by September Is.

JOINT DISCUSSION TO LARGE
CROWD AT THE COURT ROOM
Macon and Gwinn Debaters on Cues
ton of Holding Constitutional Con-
ventiOn for Tennessee.

To packed and jammed court room
Hon. L. e. Gwinn opposing, at this
time, a constitutional convention and
Hon George A. Macon, of Memphis,
urging the necessity of a convention,
debated the question, as was previous
ly announced, Saturday afternoon, be-
ginning at $3.50 o'clock.
Mr.. Macon opened the discussion
and gave his reasons for advocating
the necessity of a constitutional con-
vention He favored such changes in
the constitution as would abolish the
fee system, change our system of tax
alton in order that the state might de-
rive more revenue, eliminate the taxa
tion on state bonds, and many other
proposed changes. He charged that
only the misinformed and persons ac-
tuated by selfish motives are oppo-
nents to the movement. He argued
that whatever amendments were sug-
gested by the convention would be
submitted to the people for ratification
or rejection. He insisted that the basis
of representation is fair, inasmuch as
it was voted for by the legislature
unanimously, including Upton coun-
tvs representative.
Mr.. Gwinn, in following, argued
that the time for holding a conven-
ton is inopportune, that the country
is at war and new conditions will
arise at the conclusion of the war,
that the people, owing to the war, will
not devote the proper consideration to
the proposed measures for changing
the constitution. He charged that the
basis of representation in the conven-
ton is fiagrantly unfair, Republican
counties of 1000 or 5000 population
having the same representation in
the proposed convention as Upton
county with its population of 100000
He said, however, that the basis is SO
that Shelby and Davidson and other
large counties would have their full
representation.
The audience was enthusiastic and
pretty well divided. Hon. Chas. B,
McClelland presided and introduced
each speaker on this occasion. Mr.
Macon spoke for As minutes and Mr.
Gwinn replied in a speech of one hour.

The discussion was closed with a re-

At $50 O'Clock Saturday night,
Messrs. Gwinn and Macon addressed
an audience in the school building at
Munford on the same question. They
were given a hearty welcome and each
speaker was heard on the subject for
more than an hour.

FETZER'S BACKERS.-It would
be Of decided interest to the readers
of your publication to know upon
what basis or privilege a candidate
for the nomination for alderman,
where there is a contest, gets the as
sistance Of an assistant corporation
counsel to protect his interests in
recount.
This specific case that I have in
mind is in the Seventh ward, where
VIM. r. Fetzer is interested in a re-
count of the ballots against Chas. E.
Merriam, and, according to the pa
pers, an assistant corporation coun-
sci is looking after his interests. Does
the work of the corporation cOunsePs
office carry with it service of this ma
ture, or is it because the administra-
ton is particularly interested in see
ing that Mr.. Fetzer is properly repre-
scented?

ask a girl for a kiss. If she refuses

You are mistaken in your belief
that you will not have a good time

self, l do not like a girl who is
"mushy." A girl can be jolly and have
a good time without being "'mushy."
Just keep to your ideal and you will

JAKE LOEB A TARGET
Possibly for the first time in the
wards history the residents of the
18th ward are witnessing an alder
manic campaign conducted along
constructive lines. And for the first
time the underworld gang of the
West Side is being pushed into the
background.
John J. Touhy, the young Demo-
cratic leader who was one of the
members Of States Atty Hoynes
successful campaign and who is now
the regular Democratic candidate for
alderman Of the 18th ward, is ignor-
ing the Mike de Pike" crowd that
are seeking his defeat and is teach
ing the people Of the ward something
Of the politics played by the City Hall
machine and Jakey Loeb, president
Of the school board.
TOuhy has gone into the czar-ike
tactics Of Loeb in discharging eff
cient teachers who were members of
the Chicago Teachers Federation.
The people of the ward are encourag-
ing TOUhy in this.
In speeches last night TOuhy also
attacked the State street merchants
who are seeking to divert all business
to the loop. He is asking an extern
sion of business to the West Side.
His attack on the proposed traction
grab has also proven a popular sub
jeCt.
The apathy that was apparent in
the 18th ward campaign last week
has entirely disappeared. Attend
ance at recent Touhy meetings seem
to bear out his contention that the
18th ward residents are tired of being
the football" Of gang politicians.
The recent vice and graft scandals in
which politicians interested in de-
feating Touhy because he is a
"Hoyne man" figured has stirred
them to wrath Thew saw ''NTikn dc
