Resolutions of Respect.

Brother teacher and members of
the Lawson Wesley Class: We are
again called to make record of the
sad death of another fallen brave
from our class, Clarence Jenkins,
who, like thousands of others, has
choerfully answered the call of his
country and went to the front to do
his best and if necessary to give his
all, which we arc grieved to say fell
to his lot.
Clarence was good boy during
his boyhood, good young man dur
ing his young manhood, and had he
been permitted to return to his many
friends and loved ones, every indica-
ton pointed to life of usefulness
and service.
He was a member of the M. e.
Church in Humphreys County, Ten
nessee, where he lived with his par
ents for several years before having
come to Union City to make his home.
He became member of our class
soon after it's organization, and was
a regular attendant as long as it was
convenient He enjoyed the fellow
ship of the members and the instruc-
tive lectures by our teacher, and was
often heard to speak in high terms
of the class and the good he was re-
ceiving therefrom and how he en-
joyed attending when possible to do
so.
Gentlemen of the class, Clarence
gave his all for us and humanity that
we could in the future have a peace
full world in which to live and pros
per. Let us therefore thank God for
his life and what he did while with
us, and ever cherish his memory as
one who died for us. Let us as a
class and as citizens extend to his
parents and remaining members of
the family our deepest sympathy.
Respectfully submitted,
S. d. WOOSLEY,
JACK BRATTON,
M. L. STROUD,
Committee.

/. In feeding his laying hens one
Tennessee farmer is using as mash
patent feed composed of 40 pounds
meal, 20 pounds meat scraps, 40
pounds bran. This mixture could be
improved by making it so corn meal
and 20 each of bran and meat scraps.
Inasmuch as one can get the corn
meal and bran at home, which is the
major portion of the ration, and since
Tennessee farmers are in a position
to buy meat scraps nearly as cheap
as feed manufacturers can, poultry
men may expect to get feed much
cheaper thru home mixing.
Feed manufacturers, in mixing
poultry or other feeds, always use
as their base the cheapest, feed in
their particular locality whether it
is corn, wheat, oats, barley, or rye
For many Tennesseans the following
will be about right for scratch
feed: so per cent corn, 20 per cent
each of wheat screenings and oats.
This will give as satisfactory results
as any feed one can buy in the open
market.

Identifies Dead Boy.
Committee.

The father of Jack L. Miller, IT.
year-old boy who died at the Gen.
eral Hospital Thursday, identified
the body of his son Sunday and ac-
companied the remains to his home
at Kenton, Tenn, where the burial
will take place.
The sight of his dead boy in the
parlors of Mcdowell & Monteverde
Sunday was the first the father had
experienced for moro than year.
At that time, Mr.. Miller declares, a
tramp came to his home in Kenton
begging food and shelter. The vaga-
bond persuaded Jack to run away
from home. Since that time young
Miller had never let his relatives
know of his whereabouts.
The boy died of pneumonia at the
General Hospital. A great deal of
difficulty was found in locating his
father, and it was thought for a
while that the body would be laid to
rest in the potter's field.-C CONNER

WHY "DOUGhBOYS."

A doughboy is an American soldier. and American soldiers. infantrymen, artillerymen. medical department. sig nal corps sharps, officers and men alike. are all doughboys. Our car toonist is one, so is General Pershing
 The term "doughboys" dates back to the Civil war when army wit was aroused by large globular brass but. tons on infantry uniforms. Somebody Che must have been a sailorD dubbed the buttons "doughboys" because they reminded him of the boiled dumplings of raised dough served in ships mess and known to all sailors as dough boys. Originally it referred only tC an enlisted infantry man. but the A F. F. applies it to all branches and all grades of the service-The Stars and Stripes.

F. w P Smith, who recently came out from the Shushanna district. says the majority of the people who will winter there this season are well equipped for good seasons trapping and 1t looks as though the foxes, vol vernes and lynx will be very plentiful there this winter X good season is looked for Mir. and Mrs Nelson. Capt. Erickson and wife, and Wm. and Mrs James will winter in tn" Shu-hanna. About twenty persons will be left in the camp at the end of the mining season. MT James, who is the discoverer of this camp. had q crew of men working the past season and did very well This is Mr James first season at hydraulicking and the result has been very satisfactory. Ar rangements are being made to put in new Improvements and work on q larger scale will be carried on next year
 Ilck MuIIet, one of the pioneers and trail breakers of the country, is especially well equipped for a win ter's trapping.
 The government is building cabins for the protection of mushers and travellers along the trail from McCar- thy to the Shushanna diggings. Dick WOodman and James Hussey of Me Carthy will have the cabins completed early this fall!
 Information from reliable au- thority states that arrangements have been made to have a trail built to the diggings from Mccarthy. which can be used both summer and winter. This will be q great help to the people of Shushanna. who look forward to very prosperous season next year
