His good wife will have to do the
writing talong with all the other
work. until 'Nels" heals up, which l
hope won't be, long, as he is the old
est writer in point of service on the
force and we all miss him.
Confession of an Editor-Don't
criticize the editor because he don't
get out splendid paper every week.
Some weeks there's no ads, no news
no anything doin' that would make
the paper interesting, and if the ed
itor had brains enough to make every
paper a hummer in spite of such
handicap he could make big money
somewhere else, and wouldn't have
to edit paper in a small town.
Howard Courant.
mo news, no ads, no anything
doin'." Holy smoke, what's an edit
or for nohow? My opinion is that if
an editor can't get out an interestin'
paper without any, or all, of these, he
would better get out of the business
and find himself job where brains
are not one of the requirements.

Austria is 500 per pound owing to

WOOD IN SMALL TOWNS

Two months ago the Commercial
Appeal urged the people in the small
towns to prepare for using wood fol
fuel during the winter Coal was
still in sight, and they Spaid no at
tention to the call.
Ninety-nine out of hundred in
the country and in the small towns
80 years ago, used wood for fuel.
Coal has displaced wood, not be-
cause it is better fuel, but because
it does not require the young and
the old to exercise at the wood-pile.
There is enough wasted wood with
in two miles of any town in North
en Mississippi, Western Tennessee
and Eastern Arkansas to furnish the
people fuel all the winter.
Let the people Of these towns, in
stead of holding mass meetings and
demanding relief from the coal agent.
form club and get few wagons
and have wood-chopping. In one
days time they could chop enough
wood to last a month.--Commercial
Appeal.

SOME SMALL JOBS"

What about that SUNK" piled about
your farm-yards, against buildings
or under trees and the machinery
that is taking all the weather as il
comes? If you lack shed room, why
not take the tongues off all machines
you can and see if you can't get ev-
erything in the dry somehow, and
then gather up all the scrap and re-
fuse lumber and put it into the wood
shed, and NOW all the weeds near
the house? Meanwhile, see if your
self-respect is not measurably in
creased before you get through with
the job.-Progressive Farmer.

COL. ROBERT GALLOWAY DIES.

Col. Robert Galloway, one of the
most prominent citizens Of Memphis,
died at his home in that city Friday,
after an illness that lasted over two
years.
It was through his influence that
the land now comprised in Overton
and Riverside Parks was bought, and
largely through his efforts that the
great parkway was built, with its
nearly 20 miles Of splendid finished
roadways.
The Commercial Appeal says that
he will be remembered and honored
in Memphis as long as the city stands
for his work in building the magnit-
icent park system, with which he was
connected from the beginning Al
though other able and public-spirited
men were members of the park COM
mission at different times during Col.
Galloway's membership, they them
selves would be the first to admit
that his was the dominating person.

MUST STOP CUSSING MULES;
SUPPOSE THEY CAN DO IT

A dispatch from Somewhere in
France" says:
"Pity the poor mule skinner! He
now is prevented by general order
just issued from swearing at those
Missouri products which the soldiers
know as ebay burners" and it is
hard, according to the drivers, very
hard.
"The order does not provide severe
punishment for muleteers breaking it.
and it does not make it absolutely
necessary for them to coax a mule
with soft caresses instead of harsh
language, such as army drivers say
the animals understand. 1t merely
suggests, in effect, that mules, like
horses, will respond better to kindness
than to 'cusses.'
"I am now treating this mule like
he was a brother, said red-faced
skinner today. But l know it's no
good. l believe in living up to or
ders and suggestions to the letter,
but I'm from Missouri. I've been
around mules all my life; and / never
saw one that didn't like to be cussed
at. Old Aristides there has been
cooking his ears at me for three DAYS
