of the war by the Government. has
proved beneficial. When we entered
the war no right-thinking person
would expect that mistakes would
not be made. We were and are still a
peace-loving nation. and our time has
mostly been taken up with the pur-
suit of peaceful occupations. AS to
the mistakes that have been brought
out in the investigation befor the Sen
ate, Secretary of War Baker and
others have been free to admit that
mistakes have been made; but they
have also taken steps, now that their
mistakes have been shown, to rem

thus we see that good has come from
these Investigations.
However, it is going to take the
solid backing of all our people for the
President and his co-workers to carry
through this war to a successful con-
clusion. Such display of partisan pol
tiles as has recently been shown by
some of the Republicans in the Sen
ate. smacks of treachery and no doubt
is rather pleasing to the Kaiser and

SUDDEN DEATH OF
ESTIMABLE WOMAN

The sudden death of Mrs. w. W.
Mitchell, of Greenfield, was a shock
to her legion of friends there. Mrs.
Mitchell died on the train while en-
route to Nashville for an operation.
The remains were brought back to
Greenfield on Monday and laid to
rest Tuesday.
The deceased was the wife of Dr.
w. w. Mitchell, one of Greenfield's
most deservedly popular physicians
and good man. She was noble
woman, and loved by all who knew
her. Her maiden name was Ed
monston, the daughter of the late
DR.. Edmonston, of Gibson county,
where her sainted mother died just
few days ago, and sister to Mr.
Frank Edmonston, of Greenfield.
All the bereaved have the pro-
found sympathy of a large circle of
friends.

Let us all join hands in a mighty
circle in the grandest cause that
ever confronted us. Let our creed
be "Feed the World" Can you
grow something? Everyone can and
should grow more this year than
ever. On small plot of ground you
can grow enough peas and beans to
furnish your own household, even if
you do not have any to sell. 1t leaves

Learn how to help us win and thereby

To help win, the people in town must
feed themselves as nearly as posi-
Bile while the farmers and stockrais-

Try it. Put away enough food to

boys in France. Will you join hands

HEAVY TOBACCO
DELIVERIES MADE
Two Dresden Handlers OVaTun This Week With
Tobacco Deliveries. Still Much Of
Crop UnsOR.

Both Messrs. Ezell and McCuan,
local tobacco handlers, have been
quite busy with large crews of hands
this week receiving tobacco, which,
for the first time during the season,
was in delivery order.
Ezell's receipts for Monday and
Tuesday were estimated to be about
10000 pounds, while Mr.. McCuan
received nearly as much. A great
deal of this tobacco was brought to
Dresden from long distances, some
coming from west of Martin and
west of Sharon.
Reports from the rural districts
are to the effect that chances for the
usual acreage this year are slim.
Plants are very scarce and many
farmers are awake to the fact that
we need food and feed crops, and
much tobacco land will be put to
corn.
Also the very unsatisfactory mar
keting conditions is discouraging
many growers, who feel that tobac-
co is marketed under different con-
ditions to any other crop, the price
generally being fixed by bunch of
jugglers sitting in New York, with
out any regard to it's value or the
cost of production.
There is a growing demand for a
loose leaf floor in Dresden, and it
would not be at all surprising if one
is established here to handle the
next crop.

STRONG EVANGEL-
ICAL DISCOURSE

The Methodist revival began Mon
day night with Rev. Caleb L. Smith
occupying the pulpit in the absence
of Rev. Butts, who was detained at
Union City. Bro. Smith delivered
very powerful discourse of an evan
gelical character, hitting social evils
death blows from every angle. He
showed the sin of card playing, of
swearing, of idling. He handled the
question Of immodest, immoral dress
without gloves, and he said that to
remove the sex feature aeF dancing
there would be no more dane
ing. His discourse was well illus
trated throughout and he carried his
audience with him. Bro. Smith has
a well-earned reputation as an evan
gelist. At the close of the service
the doors of the church were open
ed and Mr.. Carl Sandefer, son of Mr..
ana Mrs. Y. Il. Sandefer, presented
himself for membership.
Rev. Butts reached here Tuesday
afternoon and occupied the pulpit
at night. Services will be held the
remainder Of the week at night only,
but beginning Monday, night and
day services will be held--at 1880
mornings and 8:15 evenings. A spe-
cial service will be held Sunday af-

FOOD PRODUCTION
BOYS AND GIRLS

Weakley county has been called
on to submit the names of all boys
and girls who are patriotic enough
to grow some special patch of food
crop to be saved and placed on the
market this fall as war food. Every
boy who has joined the corn club,
pig club, canning club or poultry
club has gone on record as starting
patriotic work and will not need to
enroll in this work. However. the
county manager desires to enlist
large number of boys and girls who
members of these clubs, who will
promise to plant row or few rows
of some food crop TO be sold this fall.
Any food crop, such as buttcr-beans,
kidney beans, white peas, corn, late
potatoes, sweet potatoes may be
grown. If your father cannot spare
you the land, it Is suggested that
you use the fence rows and ditch
banks, which are usually very rich
and will be IN excellent place for
row of butter-beans, Irish potatoes,
or even corn. Also a hill of peas
planted at the end Of each row of
corn not surrounded by shade will
produce well.
The county manager is asking ali
teachers and Community Councils
of Defense to enlist a club of boys
and girls from their schools and CON-
munities for this work and send their
names in. To each boy or girl en-
rolling in this work will be given
patriotic poster as an emblem of Icy
atty. Parents should urge their boys
and girls to enlist IN this work and
start them in preparing to plant
something.
Send your list of names to Mr..
Heber Finch, county manager, Ores

IDENTIFY do not mean to re-attack I'M
til they are ready to do so on a
great SCALE" Reuters correspondent
at British army headquarters in
France wires tonight.
"They are being openly and enor-
mously reinforced, but the allies have
also strengthened their forces, and
it is not likely that the next thrust
will be any more effective than that
of month ago, when the German
people were told to expect a speedy
triumph.
"The expectation on this side is
that the battle may last we'll through
the summer. For one thing, it will
henceforth be impossible for the en-
envy to benefit by a strategic sur
prise similar to March Fl, when they
attacked on front of so miles.
All the enemy's onslaughts hither-
to have failed to attain their object,
owing to the impossihility of using
reserves, and resulted in the bottling
up of 100000 in the triangle Of
Hazebrouk, Amiens and Noyon, and
these troops, originally supplied with
weeks rations, are virtually starv-
ing in devastated region which is
difficult to revictual, as the ground is
marshy and pitted with shell holes
constantly under fire.
"There is a great concentration
of shell fire at Mt. KENNEL, which
already is stripped of trees. This is
probably the scene of the next big
attack.
"Details of the Belgian success of
the 18th of April show that it was
most brilliant, and also important in
results, for it played a part in foil
ing the attempt to cut off the ex-
pected British retreat from the Ypres
salient. Gen. Plummer congratu-
lated the Belgian commander warm
ly, saying the second British army
was most grateful for the help"

CASE Of LAKE ERIE
HOLIDAY IS HEARD
Dresden Attorney Faces DsbaTmsRt Pro-
sssfngs in the Federal Court
At Jackson.

jackson, Tenn, April 22.-Judge
John E. Mccall in the federal court
here, reserved for a future date his
ruling in the case of Lake Erie Holla-
day, the Dresden attorney, against
whom disbarment proceedings had
been filed on account Of alleged un-
ethical conduct.
During the October, 1917 tenn OF
the federal court, the Dresden attOr-
ney represented Lon and Alvin
Hampton and Dorse Bateman, charg-
ed with manufacturing and selling
liquor illegally. In the cases Of Al
vim Hampton and DOrse Bateman
pleas of guilty were entered by the
attorney and sentences were imposed.
A few hours afterward Hampton
made the startling statement that the
plea of guilty was not authorized
by him, and an inquiry into the con-
duct Of the attorney was ordered
by Judge Mccall, T. A. Lancaster,
Of Lexington, and District Attorney
Kyser, of Memphis, being appointed
to conduct the investigation.
In today's trial the prosecution
introduced witnesses who sought to
substantiate the contention of Alvin
Hampton, and letters written by Hol-
laday to the United States district
attorney, telling him that Bateman
was but tool of Hampton, and that
the latter was operating still. Hav-
ing previously represented Hamp-
ton at a hearing before the United
States commissioner in Huntingdon:
the Dresden lawyer was guilty of
misconduct, according to the con-
tention of the prosecutors. Attor-
neys for the defendant, however,
contended that he did not violate
any condolences, as there was no
proof that any of the information
contained in the letters to the dis
trict attorney had been obtained of
his former client.
Holiday, on the stand, related the
circumstances of how, after the hear
ing before the commissioner, Hamp-
ton had declined to employ him ex-
cept on the basis that he would be
paid if he freed him from the charge.
He further testified that he had not
been retained until the morning of
the day of the trial in October, and
then with the agreement that the
guilty plea should be entered.
In closing the case, Judge Mccall
stated that he wanted time to take
the evidence under advisement.
whether or not there is sufficient
evidence to warrant the court in
disbaring this respondent, ! do not
know" his honor stated. II think it
is patent to any man who has heard
this evidence and who has a sense of
the proprieties in the profession, that
Mr.. Holidays conduct is not free
from criticism" Memorandum of
final decision will be handed down
by the court shortly.
The above was taken from Tues
days Tennessean. Col. Holiday and
associates reached Dresden Tuesday
night, and it is understood from them
that the prospects for the dismissal
of the disbarment proceedings against
Mr.. Holiday are bright Prominent
attorneys interceded in Holidays
behalf

WATER SUPPLY LOW;
 MUST PUMP IN MORE
Wild Cat Brook to Be Utilized and
 Water to Be Puri-
fled.

The waiter supply at Lake Shuttle Meadow is sufficient for only about three months and because of tho possibility of water famine here the board of water commissioners held a special meeting last evening and decided to proceed at once to pumping water from the Wild Car brook in Burlington.
 This will entail a slight delay however, due to state board of health restrictions, and it may be quite d few days before the water in the brook IS diverted into the city mains. At pres- cnt the water in Wild Cat brook is somewhat polluted with organic mat ter and as soon as this is removed the water can be used. To ronovate and purify this water the city must install Someschlorine gus tanks and necessary equipment at the pumping station. The water will be pumped through this purifying machinery and will then be suitable for domestic use.
 Today there Is only 14 feet of water at Shuttle Meadow and as the city re- quircs between seven and eight mil- lions of gallons every 24 hours it is plain that the supply is raidly dimln- ishing. Chairman w. E. Rossberg of the water board says that there is a flow of about 3SS,000 gallons Of water a day in the Wild Cat brook and with it's tributaries this can be increased to almost 750,000 gallons. By the pump ing arrangement to be installed prac- tically this entire flow can be diverted into the city water mains.
