CRUELTY TO HORSES

We saw wagon horse, driven by
boy, stumble on the stony street not
long ago and fall heavily to the
ground. The boy, man taught, ours
ed him and pulled at the reins until
the poor beast was frightened half
to death. Then came along a wise
nan, handsomely dressed. He called
the boy from his perch and made him
hold down the horses head so that he
could no longer dash it about in
fright and vain effort to rise. He
loosened the check rein, loosened all
parts of the entangling harness and
pushed back the wagon until the
shafts were clear of the horse. He
spoke low and reassuringly to the
frightened animal, patting him and
encouraging him to rise When he
at last got him, trembling all over,
to his feet, he again patted him and
let him stand quietly, perfectly free
of trappings, for moment before he
told the boy to harness him again and
drive carefully. He took the name
of the horses owner and the name
of the driver, wrote them down, and
melted into the gathering crowd. But
he had preched a sermon without
words. We suspect he used words,
however, over the phone, to the own
er of boy and horse. Home and Farm

bombed. of the mutilation and muir
der by crucifixion and otherwise of
wounded and captured soldiers-of
all this beastliness there is plenty of
evidence, evidence that no one can
disbelieve.
The best answer to German peace
propaganda is sinking more U-boats,
sending more men to France, speed
ing up our work along every line,
and a heavy subscription to the
Fourth Liberty loan. Peace must
mean the triumph Of right and JUS
tice, the defeat of Germanism, not a
truce with it, not a compromise with
it. H'vTasA
Our soldiers in France are glorious
ly doing their part toward victory.
The Liberty loan subscription must
show them that the people at home
are doing theirs.

An act was passed by the Tennessee
Legislature in 1917 requiring the pay
ment Of poll. taxes at least 80 days
prior to the election in order to make
the voter qualified. The coming cleo
tion in November will be the first
state election held since the passage
Of that act. 1t is absolutely essen
tial that voters observe the require
ments or be debarred from voting.
There remain less than two weeks in
which to pay these poll taxes. Ev-
cry voter should do his duty at once
in the matter.

Surgeons agree that in cases Of
cuts, burns, bruises and wounds, the
first treatment is most important.
When an efficient antiseptic is APP
piled promptly, there is no danger of
infection and the wound begins to
heal at once. For use of man or
beast, Borozone is the ideal antisep-
tic and healing agent. Buy it now
and be ready for an emergency. Price

The communities surrounding Cow
ington are joining with the people of
the city in praying for the boys in
the trenches on the western battle
front. The blowing Of the whistle at
the light plant is a signal for people
to pray for their protection and sue
cess of our arms. Both white and
colored people are observing this
universally, and every night fervent
appeals are made to the throne of di-
vine grace, asking for blessing on
the boys fighting democracy's battle.
The people express an appreciation

beginning of these devotions.

HAVE SHOES MATCH GOWNS
Oil Paint May Be Successfully Used
on Canvas Footoear; Opera
tion Is Simple.

It is possible to have pretty shoes
at small expense to match light
dresses, writes a correspondent. Shoes
Of delicate colors are hard to find and
always expensive. One girl wanted a
pair Of light gray shoes and this Is
how she managed: She had pair OF
white canvas shoes which were some
what soiled. She first scrubbed them
with good white soap and water, using
small brush, then drying them In the
sunshine. She then mixed little black
and white oil paint until the desired
gray shade was obtained. This she
mixed in cup half full Of turpentine.
Very little paint is needed. Just
enough to color the canvas. Brush the
liquid over the shoes with q small
paint brush and you will be surprised
to find how nice they look. They dry
with no streaks. Match them In rib
bon for ties. OF course any colors
may be made to match any gown. The
artists paint is not expensive, the
black and white are only a few cents
q tube each.

COUL LINEN FROCKS|
Gown May Be Developed In
White, With Braiding
to Suit.
Skirt Is Very Narrow; Back Of Coat
Section Plain; Nsw Fabric Fine
for Separate Garment.

Frocks Of heavy linen, smartly tall
ored, are fashionable for warm
weather wear. They are expensive
when bought ready to wear, and GER
tainly not particularly cheap when
made at home, as good linen fabrics
are scarce and very high in price.
But unless one wishes to wait until
the very end Of the season, when
mark-down sales have brought prices
to a reasonable level, making things
at home is less expensive method
of dressing than purchasing them
ready to wear. and certainly more in
dividuality is possible.
The sketch offers q suggestion for a
linen frock, which may be developed
I'm white with soutache braiding In
navy, yellow or other color, or the
gown may be In color with white
braiding. 1t is a slip-over affair. an

Dark Sleeves In BIouses.

Dark sleeves are shown In some Of
the attractive new blouses of tan
georgette drape. For the woman al
ways watching for some practical
touch In new clothes, these blouses ap-
peal nightly. For the dark sleeves,
be It remembered, do not show soil so
quickly as light ones. It is O rather
gloomy thought to remember that they
probably really do become soiled al
most as quickly as do white ones. But
If you must wear Q blouse for con-
siderable stretch of time-on long
railroad Journey, for instance. or all
day long doing Red Cross work that
may be a bit dusty-you feel far fresh
er at the end Of the time in dark
sleeved blouse than In light one.

opening about five inches deep at the
side front making this possible. The
sash, tied loosely. may be in q color
to match either the frock or trim
ming.
The skirt Of the dress Is very mar
row, measuring not more than III
yards in width, and the back Of the
coat section Is entirely plain, with
only a short round yoke formed by
q continuation Of the front panels,
braided, to relieve its severity.
A very interesting and lovely cot
ton fabric brought out this season,
and which Is being used In large
quantity for separate skirts, might
be selected for this frock.
The material is satin finished and
closely Stimulates silk satin. 1t laun-
ders well and while closely woven
and with firm texture 1t is not as
heavy In weight as the linens usu-
ally selected for tailored garments.
Sateen is an old-time favorite, but
this new material does not show the
twill that sateen has.

FROCkS FOR LITTLE MISSES
oId.f ashioned Calico and cretonne 10
Being Used to Good Advantage
for Girls Apparel.

Frocks and the most interesting lit
tie aprons for little girls are being
shown in the shops developed In old
fashioned calico and fowered Gre
tonne. Dresses for the older genera
tion were shown In calico some time
ago, but 1t seems a material which
is particularly we'll suited to the small
girl because of its strength and the
brilliant colors In which it appears.
One dress, for example, is shown
In bright yellow with a red dot. The
round neck Is bound with plain red
and finished with a stiff pump bow,
several Of which are set in row down
the side Of the blouse, There is no
other trimming.
An odd frock also in calico appears
In a deep shade or blue figured in
white. 1t has q full skirt and lit
tie white repp sleeveless jumper bound
with the calico, is decorated with little
old-fashioned ladies cut out and ap-
pliqued on.
The figured voile dress Is the big
seller at present and all sorts of beau
tiful models in organdie are coming
In for great deal Of attention.
The newest thing shown in this fab
ric Is q frock for very little girl.
1t is Of white organdie with a wide
round collar and turned back cuffs
Of the same material in lavender, hand
feather stitched in royal purple, and
tied with perky little bows Of purple
ribbOn-Nugent's.
