TRADE AT HOME

The following lately appeared a;
a page advertisement in a Sunday is
sue of that great paper, the Nash
vile Banner The point in it applies
with equal force to Covington as to
Nashville.
It has been said that a Community
is no better than the men and wo-
men who live in it,, How true this
is If YOU or / fail to do OUR part
ip the work of building up our city,
our city suffers.
A city is similar to an individual
the wrong medicine will KILL,
while the proper medicine will CURE.
Take, for instance, the habit Of
trading out of town. Nothing will so
quickly kill the business interests Of
ones home town.
But let each individual apply the
remedy Of 'trade-at-home," and you
will see that community thrive and
prosper like sick man who grows
strong under the proper treatment.
The practice Of buying away from
home is worse than a curse to the
people of any community will
spread and grow like a contagious
disease unless checked by the indiv-
idual efforts Of every citizen.
REMEMBER THIS-you have your
duty to perform toward your home
town, just the same as your neigh
Dor has.
YOUR individual efforts will 60 a

tarding the growth Of Nashville.

FIXING COTTON PRICES

A valued exchange says that
cotton price-fixing for the period
Of the war appears not only possible,
but probable Directly or indirectly,
nearly every important commodity is
now controlled" and prices virtually
fixed. Iron, steel, coal, farm impN-
ments, fertilizers, feeds, wheat, meats,
fats, coffee, sugar, cotton seed and
cottonsted by-products and wool arc
under government regulation. Nu-
merous conferences between represent
atiVes Of the cotton spinners and the
government war industries board have
been held. and it is officially an
nounced nat a basis has been agreed
upon for fixing the prices Of man
ufactured cotton goods. The next log

For reasons not necessary here to
discuss, there is not labor enough on
the average farm to harvest the
crops. The situation is most acute
just now in the grain regions. 1t
will become acute in other regions as
other crops mature. The only hope
of sufficient labor is the mobilization
of men and boys Of farm experience
in the towns and cities for work in
that line.

NOT AN OFFICERS DUTY


A party Of ladies and gentlemen
from Covington were returning home
recently from Cold Creek. where they
had been spending few days at the
clubhouse there, when it became
necessary to stop on account Of a
puncture Of a tire of one Of the four
cars in the party No sooner had
they stopped, they state, TO repair
the trouble than a Lauderdale county
officer came up and began shopping
around, giving the ladies and a little
girl in the party quite a fright with
the display of his big pistol It is
opposed that he was looking for
bootleggers, though it is needless to
say that he found none Of the fluid
he was looking for in this party.
This thing of an officer reaching the
conclusion that every stranger he
sees passing through the country is
either a bootlegger or IS carrying
booze or beer for his own use is a
serious mistake, and is likely to get
some of them into trouble, especially
when they carry the matter 50 far
as to flash pistols around and frigh-
ten and intimidate ladies. Moreover,
there are other crimes in the cate
CORY besides bootlegging- there are
murder, arson, robbery, gambling
and other crimes too numerous to emu
merate here, to be looked after, and
some of the officers might be en-
ploying their time to better advan-
Eage by looking as closely after vio-
lators of the laws regulating the
above as they do after bootleggers
and transporters of liquor

One Of the best and cheapest ways
to control weeds on farms is to
keep a flock Of sheep. In addition
to cont olling weeds without cost,
sheep will render a profit by produc-
ing nutritious food and wool, and
will assist materially in meeting de-
mands on the nation for meat and
wool production If weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop leaves
they will die, but it would require
a great amount of hand labor to keep
most weeds under control by this
method. Sheep will keep the weeds
down and the more weeds they eat
the less will be the cost Of upkeep,
and the greater will be the supply Of
feed released for other stock. Many
rough or permanent grass pastures
That require moving can be kept clean
by the use of sheep, while at the
same time the cattle-carrying capac-
ity of the pasture is increased.

EXISTS ONLY IN MEMORY
"LittIe Red sehoolhouse" 10 Now One
Of the Things That Belong
to the Past.

"The little red schoolhouse" was
rallying cry in more than one national
political campaign Of recent years, and
government bulletin issued a week or
so ago had a long article about the
insanitary conditions of 'the little red
schoolhouse." We are warned to pre-
serve intact "the little red school
house," to clean up and scrub out and
paint 'the little red schoolhouse," and
30 on.
And, Notwithstanding all this propa-
ganda about 1t, who in this part of
the country has ever seen or knows of
the existence of "red schQolhouse,"
little or big, unless 1t be one Of red
brick? The phrase is intended to en-
brace schoolhouses in the country dis
tricts; but there is hardly n red cOun-
try schoolhouse in Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, or any western state. Most
of the buildings are white, some are
Of no color ut all, except a weather
beaten silver gray, and there are
few log schoolhouses, and maybe
somewhere there is red one.
Possibly there are a few scattering
red schoolhouses in the country dis
tricts of New England and the East.
That is where the phrase '1ittle red
schoolhouse" originated. With true
Yankee thrift they painted them red,
Just as they painted their barns, red, be-
cause red was the cheapest kind Of
paint. The country boys and girls Of a
century ago and later were taught in
little red schoolhouses, and the phrase
"little red schoolhouse" crept into print
and the oratory of the hustings. To
say that a man was graduated from
the little red schOolhouse meant that
he was n self-made man who began
at the grassroots.
To speak or write of the preserva-
ton Of the little red schoolhouse meant
reference to those homely virtues
and simple. tastes of the country, free
and unhampered by oppression Of
either church or state. And the slo-
gan, "little red schoOlhouse," has come
down to us and is part of the Ian
guage, long after the little red school
house has disappeared.
