COUNTIES make
FIRM EXHIBITS
More Counties win Show This Year al
the Eaet Tennessee Division
Fair.

Better exhibits of farm and home
work will be made this year, and
more counties will show than ever be
fore. is the statement made by officers
of the East Tennessee Division Fair,
which is to be held at Knoxville, Dc
tober 7 TO H.
Long before the time for the close
of entries more counties had asked
FOR space than there was space avail
able. As a result Of this, the fair au-
thorities had to clear another entire
floor, and win assign space on this
floor for the county exhibits that can
not be accommodated on the floor first
set apart for the work.
The Land Building, IN which ,hese
exhibits are to be staged, is a large
building. too. Not only is 1t large, but
it is ideally arranged for handling
many exhibits with case. So il has
not been for lack Of space that the
room has not been large enough TO
accommodate the demands it has
been because of the unprecedented de-
mand.
This large, demand, it is thought, Is
due to the fact that farmers this year,
particularly farmers Of East Tennes-
see, have been growing more than
they have ever grown before, and
their wives have been canning and
drying moreiand doing all that the war
has placed upon, them.
If you have not had part in the
arrangement; of1the exhibit from your
county, you area unfortunate. Better
come to the fairsanyway, to see what
your county hasN done.

HENS PROPER ENVIRONMENT.

Yon can't keep normal, healthy
hen from laying eggs. It's the nature
OF the fowl. But you can do a great
IDEAL to encourage the hen in fattening
her batting average. You can do
much by providing for her the proper
kind of poultry house, ventilating it,
making it sanitary-in other words,
by providing the proper environment.
And every additional egg that is laid
while we-are at war helps by just that
much in releasing meat for shipment
overseas, where it will count to the
limit in the great battle of military
resources That is why, in the COM
oined Government exhibits at the East
Tennessee Division Fair there will be
displays to Instruct on the question Of
proper environment for the hen, as

From the Declaration Of Indepcnd-

According to this legend, Zobeideh came here to recuperate from a fever in the year 191, and a Cure was quickly effected. thanks to the salubrious climate, hence the name Tab (fever) rig (poured aWay), or fever destroying.' As & matter of cold history, however, Tabriz was in existence four centuries before the birth of the beautiful Zobeideh.

WAR BRIDES

The following from the pen of the
Interior Journals old friend, Will
G. Mckinney, formerly of this city,
but who has resided at Montgomery,
Ala, for the past dozen or so years,
appeared in the Journal, of that
city: "Do you think it right for so
many of our southern maids to mar
ry soldiers? Montgomery it seems
is doing more than her share to fur
nish war brides. 1t seems that they
are following Wilhelm's advice to his
people, where he tells them to marry
and raise warriors. Girls remember
and bear in mind the old maxim,
"marry in haste and repeat at lei
sure" and marriage is life time
job. Also remember that soldiers
are away from their homes and
friends are strangers in a strange
land, anG we must take in considera-
ton, that their manners and GUS
toms are different from ours. In one
respect they arc similar to Arabs
they dwell in tents and silently steal
away between the two suns never
perhaps to return. Young Ladies,
remember and consider well the con-
sequence of taking unto yourself a
soldier for husband. You run the
risk OF having family to care for;
and his leaving you to go to war to
be killed in battle. Then you will
be war widow; living on the mer-
cy of your kin, or again he may re-
turn helpless cripple for life, and
there will be more burdens for you
to bear. 'Selah.'"

/ There is one man at least in the
United States Senate, who does not
stand for the foolish courtesy usu-
ally observed in that body toward
members, especially when the ques-
ton of loyalty is involved. During
the discussion started by the Repub-
licans, who are playing politics while
our brave boys are making life and
death fight in France, he demanded
that LaFollette be expelled from the
Senate and Berger, the Socialistic
candidate in Wisconsin be informed,
and said other things with the bark
on them. For three months or more
committee of the senate has been
pretending to investigate the utter
ances of the arch traitor from Wis
consin and to this good day, not
withstanding the proof of his disloy-
atty is so great that he who runs may
read, it has not had the courage to
report that LaFollette should be en-
PEELED. A New Jersey man was sent
to Jail for year for making a dis
loyal remark about our soldiers and
this man is permitted to insult the
entire American people with sedi-
tious and traitorious language utter
ed in the highest of law making bod
les. There is neither Justice nor
equality in this. Let's stop making
fish of one man and fowl of another
and stand up all traitors against

to read that Of all the states she has
furnished more soldiers for the pre-

lation, by long odds than any of
them. 1t is stated by the war de-

quota of volunteers and drafted mer
900 per cent. or 500 greater than
all the states. Besides this she was
the first state to over-subscribe her
quota of the first liberty loan and
came within a scratch of doing so in
the second. She has also more than
done her part in contributing to the
Red Cross and other patriotic or
CARNATIONS, putting her at the head
