and went into the kitchen to prepare
the meal.
Dora came home from the party
flushed and excited with the dandy
time" she had had. Howard Hale had
danced with her more than with any
other girl; and both women saw quite
plainly that something like romance
had begun under their own roof. To
the elder sister the knowledge came
with a chilling. benumbing weight. She
tried to set IT aside, and be glad of
the others happiness, but her own
heart cried out in revolt. She saw be-

the victory of renunciation.
After Rales first call at which ETH
quette required the presence Of the
family, Emily invariably left the field
clear for her sister, who had intimated
that she wished this. Emily was find

One evening Hale came when Dora
was out, as she had not expected him.
Emily met him with the information.
After few minutes talk he said:
"Will you answer me frankly, truth

In surprise she agreed to his re-

asked.

At this Emily quite broke down,
sobbing out something rather unintel-

his heart, he seemed to understand.

session emphatically refused to give
Governor Philip the privilege to APP
point successor to the late Senator
Husting. Notwithstanding the Governor
intimated he favored Congressman
Lenroot Why Gov. Philip craved for
this power, alert politicians think they
know The refusal, it has developed,
is a complete victory for the Lenroot

turned down the Governors plan is re-

Go-to-School
Campaign On

From our great and wonderful
government at Washington has come
a call for patriotic service to our
boys and girls. This call does not
summon them to the field Of blood
in France or to the arduous duties
Of the hospital, but to the quiet life
of the schools. They are to go there
to prepare for lives Of usefulness and
honor in the government service in
the coming years. When the war
ends, and it will end before many
years shall have passed, there will be
an imperative need for trained men
and women in every department of
governmental activity; there will be
need of chemists, physicists, linguists,
social workers, nurses and econo-
mists. The positions will be honor
able and lucrative. They will be
filled by those who are now in their
teens for there will be no others to
fill them. But to be ready for such
patriotic service will require the
training of the high school and col
lege, The governments request is,
imperative that every boy
and girl shall go to school and that
those who are fitted shall go to col
lege in order to prepare for govern
mental positions in the next few
years.
To promote this movement there
will be a mass-meeting held in the
Northern Methodist church, Greene
vile, on Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Biddle, chairman Of the local
committee; DR.. Gray, president of
Tusculum college, and Prof. Pierce,
of schools, will make
brief addresses, and the music will
be of high order. To this meeting
the boys and girls of the county are
requested urgently to bring their
parents and hear the message Of our
great President.

New Rules Adopted
Effective At Once

This newspaper has always con-
tributed literally to everything that
has come up. We have made cash
donations to every movement inau-
gurated in the city. Especially has
this been true of all patriotic move
ments. Our space is the same to us
as -four and sugar is to your grocery
man. Our people have no more right
to expect us to give our space than
they have to expect the groceryman
to give his -four and sugar. We have
been liberal, considering our limited
means, and for this reason we are
forced to adopt certain rules here
after by which we will be enabled to
realize something for the space in
our newspaper, and this applies to
both The Daily and Weekly Sun.
In the future we will make
charge of lie word for all notecis
calling attention to entertainments,
ice cream suppers, district meetings,
school entertainments, etc. With the
increased expenses falling upon US
daily, this step has been absolutely
necessary. The rate announced is a
most reasonable one, and by counting
the words in the notice before it is
sent to the office you can tell just
what it will cost.
We will also be forced to adopt
the cash in advance rule on this class
of work, as it would be unsatisfac-
tory to have to open up accounts for
such small amounts.
We hope that we have made it
clear to everyone and that we may
not be embarrassed or be forced to
embarrass anyone hereafter by de-
handing pay for these notices that
should have been paid for all these
years.

Allied AirpIanes
Bomb Frankfort

GENEVA, Aug. 16.-An official
dispatch received here from Frank
fort, Germany, says that Monday
morning at o'clock that city was at
tackled by twelve aviators, who drop
ped twenty-six bombs, killing twelve
persons and iniuring FIVE others.
Reports from Basel, however, as
sert that the casualties were far more
numerous. These say that bomb
fell in the crowded Kaiserstrasse,
killing many persons and stopping
the street cars, that another fell in
the middle of the large station and
several in its vicinity, while two more
fell in the barracks and still another
near Goethe's House, which was I'M
damaged.
The Basel dispatch says the aerial
attack has increased the panic reign
ing in the Rhine towns.

Claxton Lifts Ban
On Married Marns


DR.. P. P. Claxton, United States
commissioner Of education, has or
dered the repeal of the married.
teacher regulation barring married
women from the profession, which
has been for some time in force in
Tennessee, as well as in other states.
The war, however, has changed this
condition, as it has changed many
other conditions which proved made
quate. DR.. Claxton says; "This rule
never did have much to recommend
it, and the war has made it impossible
of enforcement"

Freak newspapers have afforded a
good deal of entertainment in their
day. One of the most remarkable was
the Luminara, published some years

Ink containing phosphorus, so that the

equally unique production was the

perused, could be eaten, thus furnish

MAJOR VILE WANTS BLOW BACK

Albert Vile, former postmaster at Iditarod, has filed suit in the district court against Harry T. Mclean and the United States Fidelity and Guar anty Company to recover the amount of the shortage of Mclean, while the latter acted as assistant postmaster.
 The complaint alleges that Mclean was acting as assistant postmaster and the bonding company was his bondsmen in the sum of $1,0OO. It sets forth that Mclean embedded $369 from the postoffice which Wiles was forced to make good and the complainant is asking the bonding company to reimburse him for the amount and also for the costs of the suit.-Juneau Empire.

ST. LOUIS resents the implication that it is a German city" It's Cham Der of Commerce has forwarded to the authorities at Washington, D. C., statistics showing that St. Louis has IS per cent foreign-born and is seven- tn in the list of cities which have the largest percentage of population born in Germany. The results as given are: St. Louis, .O69; Cleveland, .07; Chi cago, .O8; Detroit, .0S; Cincinnati or; Buffalo, 10; Milwaukee, IT. Yet it is no crime for city to have a large percentage of German-born population. The test is whether the population is loyal or disloyal to the United States.
