URGES LOYALTY
Foreign Born Residents Given =
Chance on July 4

The people OF Tennessee are
urged to do everything possible to
aid the foreign.oorn residents Of
this county in having every oppor-
tunity to express their l1galty TO
the Stars and Stripes in the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July.
y President Wilson has sent out a
request that celebrations be SO ar
ranged that the foreign-born ele-
ment be encouraged to take part
in the programs. He believes these
people are anxious to let Ameri-
cans know they are loyal, and that
in the forthcoming patriotic cele-
brations they should be given
every opportunity to express their
feelings.
There is large element of for
eign-born people working in the
various industries in this country,
many of whom feel that they are
under suspicion, and they would
welcome any chance to disabuse
the minds of the American people
of this idea. President Wilson
asks that complete cooperation be
had and is of the opinion that fol-
lowing the celebration better feel
ing will exist between the elements.

WEST TENNESSEE CLAY
State biologist to Make import
ant investigation Soon

State Geologist Wilbur A. Mel
son was ia Huntingdon last Friday
comforting with Mr.. H. B. Ham
iltOn, who is making geological
survey of Carroll county.
In conversation with the editor
of the Democrat we were informed
by Mr.. Nelson that he would soon
make important Investigations in
Carroll county and secure samples
of clay for laboratory testing, with
the view to determining whether
the clays of this county are suit
able to replace the important clays
now being imported for use in the
manufacture Of electric insulation,
chinaware, pottery and other cer-
amic products, some Of which are
used 0y the government.
The state geologist would be
glad to receive samples of white
clays from anyone sufficiently in
terested to send them to the de,
partment.
1t appears that this country is
now and has been for many years
importing a quarter of a million
tons of clay annually from En-
gland, and the government desires
to divert the tonnage used ia this
importation to other purposes dur
ing the war by producing this clay
at home.

BOY SCOUTS To
BRING RETURNS
Organization Comes to the Front
in New Public Service on
Election Night.
ARGUS TO FLASH BULLETINS
Customary Information viii be
Given, Results to be Shown as
Quickly as Gathered.

Boy Scouts have come TO the
front in a new public service.
Tuesday night they will gather
the election returns for the local
newspapers. The public looks to
the newspaper offices for the re-
turns on election, and as in the past
the local dailies will join forces in
compiling the unofficial returns.
The money the newspapers have
expended in the past for the collec-
ton of returns this year will be
given to the Boy Scout fund in re-
turn for the service the scouts will
render. Each scout who is selected
to serve the newspapers will be re-
warded at the scout headquarters.
1t is expected that the service rem
dered by the scouts in gathering
election returns will be the means
Of providing the public with infor-
nation as rapidly as ii can be gath
cred, as the boys have demon
stTated their worth in public ser
vice in many ways in the past
Scout Executive W. F. Bacon will
select the boys to carry the mes
sages. Boy Scouts are dependable
in every undertaking they are CIV
en-, the instruction they receive in
discipline being not unlike that of
the soldier.
Judges and clerks of election are
asked by the newspapers to CO.
operate with the Boy Scouts so that
the public may receive the informa-
ton as rapidly as it is possible to
obtain it
Because of the fact that the pub
lie is interested first of all in the
wet and dry issue, it is expected
that these ballots will be counted
first.
