saloon was open IN violation OF the
law, whereupon he leaned the victim

ARMY ENGINEERS SURVEY
STNUNTON FOR CAMP SITE

stanton. Va, Nov. G.-~Further as
surance That Staunton will secure the
government motor transport camp
seemingly IS afforded by the presence
here OF party of army engineers who
today will make surveys with the idea
of furnishing the war department with
detailed Information concerning de-
sirable sites in this county. The party
is in command of Captain A, +. Der
sinner, Of the quartormaster's corps,
and conjecture and sUrmiSe and OF
alternating hopes and fears, tho send
inf of this engineering group here, so
soon after the departure of other Of
ficers who made inspections on last
Saturday, is the very best guarantee
that stanton has yet had that it will
get the much desired government
station.
Apparently. the one party had no
sooner reported IN Washington as to
the result of their Investigations here,
than the other was dispatched to this
city 10 gather the sort of technical
information which RAY be regarded,
without undue optonism. to be the
prelude to actual construction.

THIEF TAKES $500 WORTH
OF OPIUM AND MORPHINE

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 6.--The biggest
robbery for many moons in Roanoke
occurred Sunday night, when the
wholesale store Of the Roanoke Drug
company on West Sa lem avenue, was
entered and about 5000 worth or
opium and morphine was stolen. SO
far as could be ascertained. nothing
else was molested, not even the sup
ply of cocaine or codeine. About 500
worth of narcotics had just been re-
ceived, but the case had not been
opened. or they would probably have
been taken. For boldness. this rob-
berry surpasses anything of the kind
that has been pulled off in Roanoke
for many a day
r. NJ Garrett. president of the COM
pany, was in the store last sunday
afternoon and the robbery was dis
covered shortly after midnight, when
a police officer tried the back dooor
and found it standing ajar. He i'm
mediatelv notified Mr.. Garrett, who
went TO the store and found the place
had been entered and the dope"
goods taken.
The robbery wa very much on the
same order of tho big Owens & Minor
incident in Richmond few months
ago. when ;he thieves made away with
about IS. worth CT narcotics.
Who ever committed the robbery
went through a second story window
at the side of the building and made
his way 70 the floor below where the
narcotic room is located. An entrance
was forced by removing the hinges
from the door. The narcotic room is
thoroughly closed in and could only
he lighted by electricity or the use of
A candle or lamp. That the thiaf was
prepared is evidenced by the fact that
he left an unused portion of paraftin
candle on an alcohol barrel.
That the man who got the goods
knew wha. he was doing is proved by
I the fact that it was necessary to go
to an upstairs room where the supply
was kept. all of which was carried be-
low and taken out OF original pack
ages, the bottle and tin containers
opened, the contents emptied into
something else, and the bottles and
boxes thrown in = pile on the floor.
Between 100 and SO battles were
emntied and seyeral tin boxes. the
latter containing s15 worth OF the
drug. each.

IN the achievements Of our own state

sis.
Asked on January 80 to reduce our
consumption of wheat -four by one
half Tennessee went nobly "over the
top" and according to the best infor-
nation we could obtain, reduced its
consumption largely more than the
amount requested. Many counties
and thousands of families discontin-
ued altogether the use of wheat prod
ucts. More than 10000 barrels of -four
were turned over to US for shipment
to our soldiers and our heroic allies,
every barrel representing an actual
sacrifice upon the part of our people
Mills and dealers almost unanimous
~ report the smallest demand by far
that they have ever known for wheat
products, eloquent testimonials to the
fidelity with which the patriotic peo-
pie Of the old Volunteer State have re-
sponded to the request of the nation.

dence in the loyalty and devotion Of
the vast majority of our people, deal

that Tennessee will again more than

doubtless will have until the end of
time, but loyal citizens should create
such a sentiment in their communities
that they will become the objects of
the scorn and contempt Of all clean
living, unselfish and devoted men and
women.
The end of our first year of the
Food Administration in Tennessee
draws near. 1t has achieved results
only because it had the unftalterms

the earnest prayers of the loyal men
and women of Tennessee. To each
