A Soldiers Hesitation.

If you could see life as we see it
There would be no weeping, my
friend;
For we think of it more as pleasure
To visit some foreign land.
We think not of the times of ill
tidings
Or death on some bloody battlefield,
But we think of the time of return
ing
And getting once more home meal.
We expect to find you just as we left
you,
With always smile on your face;
Instead, you are sowing deep wrink-
les of worry
Broadcast over your face.
Why do you continually torment us
BY telling us how much we endure?
We know the hardships of soldier
Mucn better than you, we are sure.
When we brag of the life we are
living
Why not boost us on in our work
Instead of telling us what we are
missing,
Then wonder why so many desert.

Another Great Work.

One of the greatest, as it is one
of the most pitiful, tragedies of the
world-war is the largo number of
soldiers who have been blinded. In
many instances not only is the sight
of these men completely lost, but
they suffer also the amputation of
both hands or both arms, or an arm
and a leg, and in many cases are
rendered deaf as we'll.
In France alone there are to-day
nearly two hundred blinded men
with these additional mutilations.
There are in England, France and
Belgium over three thousand totally
blinded men, and nearly twenty-five
thousand men blinded in one eye,
many of whom will eventually lose
the sight of the other eye. How
many more will there be?
Thousands of blinded men cannot
be taken care of, and their wants re-
lieved, in the same manner as an
army of soldiers, or thousands of
orphans or thousands of mutilated
men. 1t is impossible to solve the
problem thru the ordinary channels
of relief or by ordinary means. Each
case must be handled separately,
with personal devotion. in order to
uplift, encourage and rchabilitate
these brave martyrs who nave given
their best for their countries sake.
This must be done primarily by vol
untary helpers with funds furnished
by private subscription.
The founders of this American
British French Belgian Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund and their
voluntary staff are dovoting their
own money time and lives solely
and exclusively to those blinded in
this war, and they will continue to
do so until the end. Needless to say
that any American soldiers blinded
will benefit to the fullest extent and
be re-educated to fit them for any
walk in life to which they are
adaptable by inclination, knowledge
or previous occupation; for the pur-
pose of the Fund is not to dole with
a word of undesired pity an cbolus
to meet the need of the passing hour,
but to lead the stricken victim up
from hopeless despair to renewed
hope, and send him forth into his
new world of darkness firm of tread
and resolution, equipped to do a
mans work and provided with tools
and materials to enable him to hold
his own again.
A committee for this work has
been organized in Union City, and
arrangements are being made to con-
tribute to the fund above set forth.
The work will be altogether volun-
tary-but it is of the utmost inn
portance. AS long as American sol
diero are in the war every COM
munity will be affected and every
one is interested. Some of our men
will be returning soon without their
eyesight. That makes it personal
work with us. But as long as the
Allies are protecting our interests we
owe them this duty if we never have
a soldier blinded in the battle. This
is one of the things entailed by war
that we cannot escape.

Judge A. H. Roberts, of Murfrees-
boro, was in the city last week. This
is the first visit to Union City of the
Judge since he exchanged benches
with Chancellor Mckinney. The
Judge is a candidate for Governor of
Tennessee as a Democrat. and from
all appearances he is recognized as
a favorite in the race. This is not
merely matter of popularity, but
is based on the fact that Judge Rob-
erts is one of the finest characters
and biggest minds in the State. He
received very warm reception here.
He got out and made personal can
vass during his visit, and the i'm
preston not only confirmed but
strengthened the popular opinion of
Judge Roberts.

"THE LIBERTY BOND"

Have you bought Liberty Bond of
the third loan?
Or, are you sitting still to let it be
known
You have no interest of war at heart,
So long as the boys are doing their
part?
Oh, you poor little citizen with a
heart of stone,
Can't you realize yet this war is your
own.
without our freedom, what can your
boarded money do?
For Kaiser Bill will capture it and
Buy a Liberty Bond. The investment
is good.
1t may pay your coal bill or buy
your wood.
The security is good with Uncle
Sans name there;
So preach it and talk it everywhere.
Buy War Stamp if your purse is
small.
Remember the widows mite was
greatest of all.
But think of the soldiers welfare
before your own,
And If possible give money for a
Liberty Loan.
We've sacrificed pleasure. You can
do the same,
To help win the war in America s
name.
You surely cannot refuse to give
If you expect our soldiers to fight
and live.

Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, d. C.-My Dear Mr.. Speaker: /
hereby tender my resignation as a
member of the Committee on Ex-
penditures in the Interior Depart
ment. This committee has had no
meeting during the present Congress.
excepting one short smoke talk and
so far as l can judge from investiga-
ton will have no public business to
Justify its existence, and is but a
needless and unjustifiable expense
upon the people who pay the bills.
AS you know there ere sixty stand
ing committees in the House organi-
cation, and more than half of them
are as useless and unnecessary as
the committee from which l am re-
signing. At time like this the
House should take account of mat
tiers of efficiency and economy with
in it's own confines with q view of
increasing efficiency and reducing
expenses.
Why could not some of these need
less committees that never meet and
that are occupying valuable room
and employing secretaries and mes
sengers that have no work to do be
utilized for various useful purposes,
such as inspecting camps, soliciting
labor for shipyards, doing any one
of the hundred and one things that
the Government is in need of to-day?
Instead of this, you and l know that
two-thirds of our committees are
useless, and, instead of being really
busy, the majority of our Congress
men down here are telling stories
and practicing up to see who can
spit the farthest.
The President is asking our bust
ness men to economic and become
more efficient. Could there be a
more appropriate time to initiate
economy and efficiency in our gov
eminent affairs?
