SOME MORE IMPROVEMENTS
MADE AT GLENN SPRINGS

DR.. A. B. Blaydes, of Atoka, has
lately had a crew of Is or 80 men and
teams at work on his lake at Glenn
Springs. This lake was built by Sam
uel P. Glenn about 40 years ago, prin-
cipally with wheelbarrows. The levee,
or dam, is four or five hundred feet
long, is built between two hills, is rs
or 80 feet high and the water covers
an area of some five or six acres.
This lake is fed by several large
springs, and DR.. Blaydes expects to
stock the lake with fine fish, and will
make Glenn Springs one Of the lead
ing summer resorts of West Tennes-
see.
There is no need of anyone's going
away from Upton county to health
resorts when we have such heaith-giv-
ing water and such cool, inviting
and ideal spot right in our own county,
and all should aid DR.. Blavdes in his
efforts to advance county institution.
Bids will be received for the leasing
of the hotel at Glenn Springs for the
summer within the next 80 days.

A POLITICAL TuG-OF-WAR.

1
The tugof-war scheduled for April
| 16, when the house OF representatives
will meet to choose d speaker and to
elect other officers for the sixty-fifth
congress, is going to be one of the
most adroitly managed tests of politi-
cal strength the old capitol has seen
in many years.
The republican members will have
their caucus ON Saturday, April A.
The democratic leaders had expected
to have theirs on the day before, but
when they looked at the calendar and
saw that day is Friday, the thirteenth,
superstition got the best of their res
| olution, Notwithstanding President
| Wilson, the head of the democratic
party, has always regarded Friday
| and the thirteenth as his lucky days.
Because believers in the old supersti-
tion that Friday the thirteenth is too
stiff a combination to buck, 1t is prob
able that the democratic caucus will
be held on Thursday, April II.
On paper neither one side nor the
other has strength enough to elect a
speaker. The death OF Representative
Sulloway, of New Hampshire, re-
duced the membership eject to 214
republicans, 3t4 democrats and the
| Ave independents, two of whom will
undoubtedly vote for Clark and two
of whom probably will vote for the
republican candidate for Speaker
| Martin, the Louisiana "Protectionist
| Progressive is still the prime OBJ
ject OF mystery-even to himself. He
says he doesn't know how he is 60

The suggestion that. Owing to war
conditions and the need of keeping
politics suppressed, the house may be
organized on bipartisan basis has
excited the risibilities of the leaders
of both political parties In the house,
who say that more striking exam
pie OF pure moonshine" was never
thought OF by the most imaginative
brain. To organize on a non-parti-
san plane 1t would be necessary to

mer. The question to be decided
would be: Who will step aside and
who will get the plums? Would a
Iao-ealled non.partisan organization
mean that Clark would step aside in
favor of Mann or that Mann would
step aside in favor of Clark in the
speakership contest? Would kitchin,
] the present leader of the house, be
forced to go away back and sit

in his place? Not If kitchin knows
