The club is in receipt of a letter
from our congressman, Mr.. Hubert
IF. Fisher, stating at the govern
ment contemplated placing in early
operation motor truck lines to sup
plement the presena mail service
One of these lines is to be tried be-
tween Union City and Memphis, anc
Mr. Fisher suggests that we try to
have it come through Covington.
The proper action has already been
taken, and we may have that service
before very long. Ripley, Dyersburg
and Newbern business men have
been asked to cooperate. A great
many of the trucks used by war de-
partment will be placed in this ser
vice. These motor routes have al
ready been tried in the middle west
and in the east, and have proven
success. Our country seems to be
on the verge Of a season Of great
prosperity, and a great many changes
and improvements may come IN the
reconstruction period. We should
be ready to get our share of all the
good things that may come our
way. This auto mail route, II estab-
lished, would be over the jeff Davis
highway, and would encourage the
improvement of the road. Much ma
chinery and material and many I'M
PIGMENTS have been used in the war
which might now be used in road
Improvement and other public serv-
ices.
Upton county has produced large
crop of sweet potatoes, and it looked
a few weeks ago Ike they might be
allowed to rot; but within the last
few DAYS the market has opened up,
and they can now be sold at fair
price. Sweet potatoes grow wonder
fully well in our soil, and can be
produced profitably at a price any
where above so cents per bushel.
There is only one or two things to
do with a crop of sweet potatoes:
They must be dug and marketed in
September while the market is good,
or placed in a government type house
and dried out so that they can be
kept into the winter or early spring.
There should be large potato dry
house in Covington and many small
ones on the farms in Upton county.
Let's endeavor to have these for
next years crop.

by Indians, and asked her father who
he was and what they had tied him
to the stake for. Upon accertaining
that he was to be burned, she resolved
to rescue him, and at night when the
guards were sleepy, she attempts to
liberate him and on two horses which
she had provided, they attempted to
escape, but were caught and the Prin-

stings of rattlesnakes as sacrifice
to their Gods, which is accomplished
and at the conclusion Of the annual
snake dance, the Princess is COM

their fangs. The action of the photo

snake dance and a love story with

RED STAR IS
BLESSING FOR
DUMB ANIMALS

Amongst the many societies which
have found their birth because of the
war comes the Red Star, which means
the same thing to animals as the Red
Cross does to man. A similar origina-
tion in France is known as the Blue
Cross.
The humanitarian work being done
for horses and dogs in the war SER
vice has very interesting side to it
as nearly every Blue Cross dog has
his favorite master and when his mas
ter-comrade fails to return the grief
OF the dog is not only apparent but
very often pitiable.. Quite frequently
this grief is shown by the dogs fast
ing or melancholy and as he goes
about his work searching out the
wounded on the battlefield he is al
ways eagerly looking amongst the
dead for the man he loves. Dogs are
used on the battlefields by all the
Allies except England. Germany uses
them too. The mortality amongst
these animals is great.
None but healthy, intelligent, quick
and even tempered dogs are accepted
in the service. Regular training sta
tions have been established and the
dogs undergo a severe discipline
They are taught to love their friends
all of the Allies-and to hate a Ger
man uniform. These animals aftei
finishing their training have, as a
rule, absolutely no fear on battle
field. Cases of their showing yell
low streak are rare.
Base hospitals and supply depots
have been established in France for
the care of wounded horses and tai
ented veterinarians retained to care
for them.

Although not qualified-from a

FREE SHOWING
Of SNAKE DANCE
FL MS HERE

In order that every citizen of Ray
may have an opportunity to see the
Snake dance film showing the Hopi
Indians in their celebrated religious
ceremony. Col. c. H. Harter, owner
and producer of the films, has ar
ranged with the management of the

wonderful photoplay at this theatre
on Jan. 20 and February 5, as compli.
mentary to his friends and acquain.
tances in Ray, and it will be shown
at this theatre absolutely free, and
without extra charge in conjunction
with the regular program
The history of the picture is as fol
lows:
About three years ago a young cam
era man went to the Hopi reserva-
tion in northern Arizona, taking his
camera with him. Learning that the
annual Snake Dance was about to be
given by the tribe, he went to Walpi
and after taking number of pic
lures of the village, he one day hid
himself in a thicket, close to the spot
where this wierd religious rite would
take place, and pointing his camera
through an aperture in the rocks he
photographed the entire dance, and
managed to get out of the village
without being seen by the Indians
He kept the films for two years and
then sold them to Mr.. Harter who had
known the Hopi Indian Princess We
tona since she was child going to
the Indian school at Carlisle, Penn
Mr.. Harter induced the princess to
come back to her old home at Phoe
nix, where she had also attended
school, and together they wrote the
scenario of the play after which they
went to Yuma, Ariz., and got a band
of Yuma Indians to impersonate the
Hopi scenes which were afterwards
blended with the films of the Snake
Dance, the Princess Wetona playing
the part of the daughter of the Hop
chief who had been sent to the Indian
school at Phoenix, and returned to he1
home at Walpi, Arizona, as mission
ary to her people.
The story is as follows:
Many years ago a French woman
was sent by missionary society tt
visit the Moqui, Hopi and Navahoe
tribes of Indians. While sOjournins
at Walpi, the head chief of the Hopi's
fell in love with her, and married her
A child was born to them, the mother
dying at it's birth. At the age Of
years the little princess was sent tC
the Indian school at Phoenix an6
afterward to Carlisle, Penn. She ha(
become Christian, and on her re
turn to her people on the reservation
she undertook to convert the tribe
but was met with sneers and ill usage
but her father.
| A great drought came on the village
and the chief being unable to invoke
rain, sought Powumba, the Katcina o.
Wisdom, an old witch, who told the
chief that the Gods were angry with
Princess Wetona for trying to *con
vert the people to her God, and that
no rain would come until the prin
cess was punished by death.
In the meantime the annual snake
dance was approaching and visitors
were flocking to Walpi to witness it
Among them was young English
tourist with a camera taking pictures
He one day wandered into sacred
Kiva, was discovered by some Indians
who brought him before the chief whe
after trial, sentenced him to death
He was tied to a stake and left to his
fate. The Princess Wetona out hunt

Thoughts of Hope
Written for THE EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. CRoZIER.

THOUGHTS
Let nothing wrong you, my friend,
As days are going by,
If you accept you can depend,
On Him that's always nigh.
How sweet the Joy that comes to man,
To know you've been made whole;
Today are doing best you can,
For Christ is in your soul
Hope is an anchor to the soul
His blood can cleanse from sin,
You'll answer when they call the roll,
And you will sure pass in.
Youll have a welcome in that home,
From Jesus and your friend;
You know that day viii surely come,
When here your journey ends.
God bless each one I say today,
Who has Christ in their heart.
That brings sweet peace Of mind, say.
Becaues you've done your part
How sweet to know you're on the way
That's you for you and I:
Just waiting for that coming day,
In the sweet by and by.
Have you started brother. friend, I say
For that sweet home above;
II not I pray make no delay.
There's naugmt up there but love.
There's lots Of room for every one,
II you accept the King;
Then when>your journey here is done.
To that sweet home He'll bring.
