 By Herbert deMareau Painting valued at $7O,OOO Exhibit held on Third Floor

This Wonderful plcture IS ID feet Wlde ana To Ieet high Interest in it should be intensified now, as it is famous artists conception of scene on an European battlefield and shows Christ, the re- deemer.
 "The Redeemer, was painted 13 years ago and seems to be prophecy of the turbulant times that were to come.
 A dying peasant soldier in the foreground of the canvas is the first impression of this wonderful painting, but upon drawing nearer one catches the glow of painted sunset in wonderful realism and glmpses distant campfire and the outline of a cannon wheel This sad and impressive scene sud- denly takes on an inspiring beauty the spirit
 like figure of Christ catches the eye. This beauti
 fully executed figure has appeared to redeem the
 dead soldier. step further and the observer
 plainly realizes the problem which the artist has
 so ably solved.
 The picture is a masterpiece of coorng. The
 feature of the entire work is the remarkable eff
 feet derived from the transparency of Christ when
 viewed from distance.

PERMISSION TO
RAISE RATES
AGAIN DENIED
W, B. "a. LINE
BY BILL PRICE.

An exceedingly interesting issue
may be the outcome OF the decision
just rendered by the Public ServI e
Commission OF Maryland, declining to
permit the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis railway to increase its
passenger rates in that State on a
level with the rates allowed the
steam railroads by the United States
Railway Administrator cents a
mile for One-way fares.
The road, seeking to be put on the
same basis as steam roads, asked to
be allowed to cancel round-trip re-
duced fares, except at the full rate OF
3 cents; increase by 10 per cent in the
fares for monthly communication tick
cts; cancel a number Of certain kinds
of Communication tickets altogether,
and withdraw stop-Over privileges.
Denied on Technical Grounds.
The denial OF the application was
upon the technical ground that the
W. B. and A. asked for the increase
on less than statutory notice, but in
lengthy decision the commission re-
views the financial condition OF the
road and gives much time to regrets
that IL is compelled TO take this &C
ton in the face OF what Il regarded
as a request from the United States
Railroad Administration that Il per
nit increases on about the same
terms as were recently granted to
steam roads.

A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY

The growing of sweet potatoes il
becoming one of the most profitable
industries in this community, and i;
destined to be the leading branch OF
farming in this section of Weakley
county.
One young farmer in this commu-
nifty cleared this year from four
acres in sweet potatoes 1,40O. An
other gentleman produced a big crop
at the cost of 33 1-3 cents per bushel,
and still others have made good mon
ey growing sweet potatoes.
The soil in this locality is peculiar
ly adapted to sweet potato growing,
and since Esq. Will Hawks, by hard
work and the exercise of splendid
judgment, has gotten the northern
people to liking our sweet potatoes
there is little danger of Cutting
the market. What is needed is an
association through which to market
the potatoes. Growers all over this
section have lost this season from 10
to 20 cents per bushel because there
was no system in marketing.
The Enterprise desires to see this
industry grow, prosper and thrive,
and we want to see the producer get
all he possibly can from his crop, so
we urge the formation of an associa-
ton for marketing and packing, etc.

ADOPTING FRENCH
ORPHAN CHILDREN

Mrs. c. A. Waterfield, wife of a
former beloved Dresden pastor, who
has the Craftsmanship of a tier of
counties in this section of the state,
including Weakley, spent several
days in the county last week in the
interest of the French orphan chill
dren. Mrs. Waterfield, who is han
ding the matter so admirably, in
forms US that on last Sunday at Mar
tin % of these fatherless waits we're
adopted by philanthropic citizens
! there.
The sum required to support one
of these children who have lost their
fathers in the great war is only
| $3.50 per annum. This sum is TAX
en- in charge by committee from
the French government and every
penny of it goes to the support and
maintenance of the child. The party
adopting the child receives a picture
of that child and letter from him
or her.
There are thousands of these chill
dren left fatherless and homeless by
the cruel war who will suffer unless
some of US take upon ourselves the
responsibility of providing for them.
Though you may never see them,
you will receive frequent lettrs from
them, and these letters alone are
worth the expenditure. We have had
the pleasure of reading some of thse
letters. They boil over with graft
tude, expressed in childish simple
ity, and bring joy to the heart of the
recipient who has agreed to expend
the small, insignificant sum of $3.50
per year for the support of the
child, bereft of father, and often of
home.
Mrs. L. E. Holiday has been chos-
en- to look after this matter in Ores
den and vicinity, and will be glad to
give any information desired.

FEW GENTS DESTROY
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair! Make it Thick
Wavy and Beautiful
Try This!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the
hair of it's lustre, it's strength and its
very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching of the scalp,
which if not remedied causes the
hair roots to shrink, loosen and die
then the hair falls out fast. A little
Danderine tonight-now-any time
will surely save your hair.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first APP
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which IS
so beautiful 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
of abundance, an incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most viii be after just few
weeks use, when you will actually
see lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-grOwing all over the scalp.

them as with a fathers care and a

home and business to serve these
boys; what will the rest of us do?'
Is there anybody thinking of those
restless, heart-sick, cooped-up boys,
far from the common comforts of
home, who will not give the last spare
dollar in his purse to the war-work
campaign for funds for the beauti-
full service?

WHY NOT NOW?

Eventually there will be a hare
road from Dresden to Martin. Why
not now?
Why wait for conditions that may
never develop to make this public
Improvement? This road is needed
every day in the year. During the
next four or five months it will be
badly needed. A year ago there
was not a truck operating between
the two towns. Today there are no
less than dozen. Even this spring
trucks came through Dresden from
the extreme northeast portion of the
county and the vicinity of Palmers-
vile carrying tobacco to Martin.
Good roads and trucks cut the dis
lance to market half in two-and
then some.
But this road from Dresden to
Martin, as the Enterprise advocated
when this paper began its campaign
for a 4O-foot highway to Martin, is
travelled more than any other road
in the county. With its present
splendid system of up-keep and the
excellent attention given it by the
good men having the dragging con-
tracts, it's present condition of wear
and tear will prove that it is the
most extensively travelled thorough
fare in the county. What is needed
is hard road.
We are receiving a great deal of
our goods sold by Dresden merchants
from Martin. We could receive more
by having them shipped to Martin
and then, brought through on trucks
if we had a hard road.
There is no good reason for wait
ing until the wars over to lay the
plans and put the scheme in opera
ton.
Why not now?
