THE soLpIER,s CHANCES

Great as the danger and large as
the lossts in the aggregate, the indi
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out Of the war unscathed
or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics OF
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming g
home to one chance of being killed
F'ortN-nine chances of recovering g
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to one from bull
lets; in this war one man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scatheless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents ana
to the families and dependents of all
those who make the supreme sacri-
fee for their country.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF PUTNAM COUNTY

/ am a candidate to represent you
in the next General Assembly, and
as the time is short, feel it will be
impossible to see the people in per-
son, therefore, take this method nf
saying to you that there perhaps are
very few people within the borders
of this county who are not personally
acquainted with me.
l think my experience with the
Tennessee legislatures for the last
ten years renders me fitted for the
place. l believe that am as we'll
acquainted with the conditions Of
Tennessee and her financial affairs
as any person in Putnam county. My
long experience in state affairs gives
me an acquaintance with the people
of the whole state, which l believe.
would be valuable to me in serving
the people of Putnam county, and in
bringing men to my aid in passing
such legislation as you may desire.
am not asking for this Office that
honors may be bestowed upon me.
for all the honor and glory of the day
belongs to your boys and mine who
are fighting that the world may be
made safe for democracy.
If you believe ! have been honest
in my official duties with you in the
past and will be true to you in the
future, will thank you for your sup
port. / am, Your friend,
SID CARR.

gar Draper Harris of Cookeville R. 5

$500 STEERS in CHICAGO

Last Tuesday an Iowa farmer sold
two car loads of steers in Chicago
There were 81 of them and they av-
eraged 1851 pounds per head, selling
at the top market price for that day,
$3.50 per hundred. They brought al
most $500 a head exactly $295.21-
or $14,955.71 for the lot. Thus it ap-
pears that the packers are not the
only men who are getting money out
of beef.

The Boys Conring-HomS.

All doubt about the early return OF
the soldiers from abroad and from the
camps is now set at rest.
General March has issued orders for
the rehabilitation Of the armies with
out unnecessary delay.
The orders provide for the immedi-
ate discharge Of the development bat
talions. These include 9S, 1873 men who
have been passed by the various local
boards: but who being found unfit for
service abroad, were organized into
special units with the idea of trying to
develop them into fitness.
Next there will be mustered out all
conscientious objectors who are not
under arrest.
Third in order will come men who
have been cutting spruce for airplanes,
and fourth will be discharged the men
who are in the central training schools
for officers.
Already orders have been issued that
will bring home not less than 100000
men within the next two weeks. and
by that timd is expected that others
will be going But at the rate of 10000
day, which will mean that the entire
100000 men now under arms in the
United States will be loose within the
next three months.
General Pcrshing has orders to hur-
ry home all the wounded. sick and
convalcscent who are able to travel
and also sick and wounded who other
wise would have been retained in the
expectation that they would soon re-
join their respective commands.

vision is TO he reviewed in New York.

he asked to give each OF the discharg-
ed soldiers thirty days pay whether
they re-enlist or not.
The soldiers are to be brought back
from Europe as rapidly as possible and
so far as is practicable they are to be
landed at ports nearest to their homes:
but as to how far this can be worked
out has not yet been ascertained.
Under the law, all soldiers are enti-
tied to continue wearing their uni
forms for three months after their dis
charge.
General Pershing has not yet been
able to furnish a complete list OF the
killed, wounded and missing; but will
give that at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The prisoners number 5.73s.
