DIGNITY GIVES
PLACE TO Joyous
KING Of CARNIVAL
All Memphis on Streets CeIe-
brating the World at Peace
and Democracy in Victory
Over AutoCraCy.
NOISE WAS KEYNOTE
OF VAST CELEBRATION
Parade DisSoIves Into Sections

ing Services -Theaters Take
Part-LittIe Disorder.

Dignity was dethruned in Memphis
Monday night and the joyous KING OF
carnival usurped his place. For the
world was at peace, democracy had
won a signal victory over ~autocracy
and all Memphis was on the streets 70
fittingly celebrate the event. AND II
noise and laughter We're keynotes OF
happiness never in the citys history
was such a merry crowd on the streets
and never was a momentous event more
fittingly observed.
Men, women and children weaved
through the streets, shouting and sing
ing, throwing powder and confetti,
blowing whistles and horns, beating on
drums, tin pans-anything that would
make a noise. For noise was the para
mount feature of the evening, There
was little music and no dignity in the
racket that made a Veritable pande'
monium OF Main street, but there was
a great deal of enthusiasm and patriot,
ism and high spirits in the noise, and
everyone was satisfied.
A huge sign with a deep, border OF
black adorned the Ford Motor COM
pany's plant Monday. 1t read;
Closed for the day to attend the flu
neral OF Kaiser Bill. Interment in
Potter's field"
day night. For down the street drove
a big float with a huge black coffin
resting on 1t. The casket bore this
line:
THE Kaiser's Last Submarine"
But noise-lots of noise-was the real
keynote of the celebration and every
conceivable type of racket maker was
very much in evidence. Dime stores
we're raided during the day and scores
Of small frying pans sold to the cele-
brants made ideal castanets. One man
dragged a big garbage Can down the
street to act as a sounding board for
an electric horn. A miniature bathtub
suspended from a pole was carried on
the shoulders of two men who were
armed with huge clubs, initiated a boil
er factory. Two boys who had placed a
washtub in a w~heelbarrow had beaten
that one useful article out of all sem
blance Of shape. One nan found a lard
can lid in the street and it made a
beautiful racket as he kicked it Town
the street. He used the lid for a foot
ball for several blocks.
It was a merry, good humored crowd
and the man who could make the most
noise was the ideal c%elebrant,
An attempt at a systematic parade
was quickly frustrated by the celebrants
for hundreds who had not been counted
in on the parade lineup insisted upon
marching, and soon the regular parade
dissolved into sections, each sectiln
added to by scores of enthusiasts. But
that was the kind of parade that the
crowds wanted and the crowds ruled
Memphis Monday night. Now and then
France, Italy or England was carried
by and then only was there a strain OF
seriousness in the celebration. For
thousands of heads were instantly
barred and the crowds stood at reverent
attention while the flags went past.

AMERICAN IRA NSPORT SUNK.
Was on Return NOyagc-NO Soldiers
Ahoartl-SiX OF Crew Missing.

Washington. July 5.--The United
States army transport Covington,
homeward bound with feet of troop
ships conveyed by American destroy
ers, was torpedoed in the war zone
Monday night and sank the next day
while an effort was being made to
tow her to port. Six men Of the crew
are missing. but the others with ofi-
GERS were landed at French port.
No soldiers or passengers were
aboard. The missing men are: e. C.

In announcing the sinking of the
81 %Covington, formerly tho Hamburg
American liner Cincinnati, the Navy
Department said the submarine
which 5GHt Il torpedo against the
ships ai"n irst forward OF the en-
gine "com at 9.l7 o'clock at night,
was no: e'%htcd.
The theory that the submarine
made of In haste would seem to be
borne out by the fact that the trans
ports crew was transferred to one of
tho dcstroycrs without apparent IN
cident. Some surprise was OCCASION
cd by the fact that the submarine
did not return after the fleet had pro-
ceoded and undertake to finish the
sinking Of the Covington.
The Covington was the first Ameri-
acn transport to be sunk while in
convoy, the former IIamburg-A -Ameri-

other American transports sunk in

when returning home without the
protection Of war craft.
No Submarine Seen.
"Thc torpedo struck Just forward
OF the engine room bulkhcad." said
tho Navy Departments announce
ment, and the engine room and fire
room were rapidly flooded. With its
motive power gone the vessel was
helpless and facing the possibility Of
the tOrpcdoing OF another ship in the
convoy, the COvingtOn was tcmpOrar-
lily abandoned. This was done in cX-
cellent order and the officers and
crew were taken aboard q destroyer.
Tho submarine was not seen.
at daybrcak the captain. several
officers and number OF members OF
tho crew returned to supervise sal
vaging operations. Another vessel
and two tugs took the Covington in
tow in an effort to get her to port,
but she was too badly damaged to
keep anoat and sank"
Circumstances surrounding the
sinking OF the Covington evidently
were similar tO those when tho Brit.
ish liner Tuscania was sent down of
the North coast OF Ireland while
carrying some 1900 American troops
to England. The vessel was with q
fleet Of ships conveyed by destroyers
and was attacked early in the night

wait or else stumbled upon the con
voy accidentally.

TELLS USES FOR ALL OLD RAGS
NO textiles Should Be Thrown Away,
Says VI. L. EXDert.

There is a definite use for all fey
tlles' even in WORKOUT condition. Old
rags have many uses in the house
hold as well as in commerce. Miss
Mary +. Robinson of the extension
service of the Missouri College of
Agriculture gives the following sus-
gestions for the use of these CASTOR
textiles:
Underwear and hosiery may be
used for wash clothes, busters, dust
less mops, braided and woven rugs.
Badly worn sheets, pillow cases,
and parts of muslin underwear after
being Numbered may be torn and
rolled into bandages and dressings
for first aid chests or Red Cross work.
Parts of old table cloths may be re-
cut for luncheon cloths, table nap
kins, doilies and runners.
Worn towels make good wash
cloths. Worn turkish towels make
padding for kitchen holders.
Worn curtains make good padding
for ironing boards or dish cloths.
Pieces of wooden goods, percales,
and ginghams may be used for patch
work comforts and quilts.
If beyond practical use in the
home, cloth or rags should never be
thrown away or burned. They are
needed in the manufacture of paper.

horse editor of the Appeal every
quill man in the state clapped his
hands.
Some editors think when they have
advocated a good move in their paper
they've done their full measure of du-
ty. MIR. Blanton's ways is to get out
among 'em. Think, plan, organize,
1t will be recalled the same maxim
today is making France able to meet
the trying exigencies of war. 1t is the
method that is going to be carried
out all over this country to marshal
and supply Americas fighting men
and keep the wheels of industry turn
ing.
The Monroe County Appeal is an
SPACE, 6-column weekly. 1t is filled
with letters from soldiers, soldiers
photographs. what local organizations
are doing to speed up the war, and
the like.
Paris is a town of two thousand or
better, and the people do more travel
ing on the fine country roads of Mon
roe County than on the single rail
road that serves the town.
Every editor in Missouri reads with
grim satisfaction the Hints by the
Horse Editor as Mr. Blanton's week
ly column of home town philosophy
is headed.
Follow public opinion while pre-
tending to lead it, one great editor
laid down as a maximum for newspa-
per success.
Help along public opinion until
it gets to see right says the horse
editor and he has the largest circu-
latiOn of any country paper in North
east Missouri to attest to the sound
ness of his rule"
