GREAT NORTHERN GETS

Railways in State Given United

Information was received in Glass

Of this amount $479, CSC, 531 is for
equipment, $440, OIL ,O31 for additions

The Great Northern road was given
as it's allotment $14,582, 900 and the
Northern Pacific $14,O59, 900.
The various roads asked for ST.
2S7,2O9. .46 but the director general
cut this down by $349, 247, 1928 in the
belief that many of the projects laid
down were not needed were not as es-

The greatest amount is allotted to the
railroads now carrying the greatest
bulk OF war munitions, equipment and
supplies.
The Pennsylvania railroad system
receives the highest amount, $'12, 656-

HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK
How an Italian Officer Travelling on Train
Helped a New Born Baby.

One of the ways to say that Q man
Is good hearted is to descend to ex-
pressive Americanese slang and say
"he'd give you his shirt"
A young Italian officer did exactly
that-gave the shirt of his back to a
baby just born. 1t was during a flight
of the Italian refugees just after the
italian army had been tricked by the
AuStrianS.
Here's the story:
An Italian officer. who had been a
volunteer worker at the station when
the crush came through, walked into
the American Red Cross office at DO
logna, Italy. and told of a poor young
IN who had given birth to a baby
on the train in which he was riding q
few nights previously. They had been
riding for over 16 hours, and the

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

The events of the past four years
have shown that we have got to put
a complete stop to the day of dual
citizenship in this country. There is
only room for one kind of nan in this
country, and that is an American who
is an American and nothing else.
There is no room for a ffty-fifty
allegiance in this country. If any
mar says that he loves another
try as much as he does this, send him
to the other country. Accept no d.
vided allegiance. We have room in
this country for but n nationality,
the American nationality; for but n
flag, the American flag; and that
rules out the red flag of anarchy just
as much as any other flag. And we
have room in this country for but one
language, the English language.
Remember, there are two sides to
the principle laid down, of American
ism. Any man who does not sub
scribe to and act on the principles
thus laid down, is not an American
and should be sent out of this country.
But if, in good faith, he shows him.
self to be an American, it is a base
and an unworthy thing to pay any re-
gard whatever either to the creed he
processes or to the nationality from
which he or his parents sprang.
1t makes no difference where a mar
was born or what land his parents
came from. And it is no concern ir
civil life as to what is the method If
which he worships his Creator so long
as he is an American in good faith ant
nothing but an American. So oul
business is to insist upon an abso'
lutely straight out Americanism il
this country. Our business is to in
sist upon a policy of preparedness, {
permanent policy of preparedness t.
hold our own against every species o.
foreign aggression and to be ready t.
do our duty to make the world SAT-
for every we'll behaved power to liv'
its own life as long Al it wrongs nj
other power, be it great or small
These are the two duties in the mat
ter. 1t must be remembered that tn
only Americans entitled to the un
stinted admiration of all others ar
the men to whom the supreme goo
fortune is granted to wear the uni
form of the United States army o

And that much is III business. t
back those men in every way neces
sary for raising the money to clothe

back them through u public ser

servant who does his full duty to tn
country, and holding him to the sharp
est accountability if he fails to d
his duty.

HAVE YOU DUG UP?

There are still three more days IN
which the good citizens of Glasgow
and Valley county who have not got
around to digging up" for the Red
Cross funds can make good. There
should not be a man, woman or child
in Valley county that cannot say that
they have answered the call and have
given all they could to the Red Cross.
We have heard scores upon scores
of times of the great good the Red
Cross is doing back of the battle lines
in Europe but how many realize the
great service that is being done by the
Red Cross right here in the United
States.
In this country it is plain that the
old Red Cross as we know it in June,
1917, has given place to a new organ
ization-an organization transformed
by the twin magicians of patriotic
service and patriotic contributions in
to a society with a scope and oppor-
tunity unequalled by any similar body
in the world.
So far, service has unbalanced
money appropriated for work in the
United States. The canteen services,
for instance, with which every Amer
lean soldier is familiar who has been
transformed by troop train across the
country, has not been supported by.
money from the war fund. The work
Of giving assistance and advice to the
dependent families of soldiers and
sailors has all been borne by the Red
Cross workers.
Millions have been spent for blan-
kets, sweaters and wooden things for
our boys in camp waiting to go to the
front. Funds are needed for the forty
base hospitals in this country and for
furnishing comfort and ARE of u
boys in camp.
The stay-at-home American cannot
realize what the Red Cross e in
this war. Just as it is the worlds
most colossal struggle, enlisting more
millions and creating greater havoc
than any other war, SO are the de-
mands for mercy greater than ever
before. Without the Red Cross this
war cannot be won by the United
States and the allies. The Red Cros:
is always in the thick of battle-firs
to aid and the last to rest.
1t needs every dollar that can be
raised for it; every bit of loyalty
that can be mustered. No money spent
in the war reaps so rich a harvest Of
gratitude and service. The Red Cros:

GOVERNMENT RESTRICTS
IMPORTATION OF RUBBER
Tire Manufacturers are Cooper
ating with Administration by
Changing the Size of Tires.

Asked regarding government re-
strictions on the importation of rub
Der, and the endeavor of tire manu-
facturers in cooperation with the
government to restrict the manufac-
ture Of unnecessary tire sizes, Mr.. j.
c. Weston, vice president and direc-
tor Of sales of the United States Tire
company said:
"The intention of the government in
the control and restriction of the i'm
%portation of rubber is to conserve ship
ping space, and the program that has
been laid before the manufacturers of
rubber goods has won their unani-
nous support for the war trade board
and the shipping board.
"In addition, the manufacturers of
tires are heartily cooperating with
the government program for the
eventual elimination of Unnecessary
tire sizes. The elimination will sim
ply the problem for each user of the
motor car of reducing his cost and
making it possible for him to secure
the tire size he needs, in good tires,
more readily than the market and
manufacturing conditions now iper-
nit.
"Plans for the withdrawal of GER
tain tire sizes from use by manufac-
turers of motor cars will not in any
way interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the tires to users
who need those particular sizes at any
time"
Mr.. Weston was very insistent in
his statement that there is nothing in
the present or probable future situa-
tion to occasion the slightest appre-
hension of a shortage of tires for legi-
mate use.
However, there never was a time,"
he said, "when users of auto cars
could so we'll serve the nation as by
making the most of their cars i nlegi-
mate commercial and passenger serv-
ice and refusing to hoard or unneces-
sarily anticipate their needs in tires
or other motor a supplies"
Mr.. Weston called attention to the
fact that the government has not at
the present time imposed any restric-
tions on the use of motor cars by the
automobiles of the country, but has
relied on the patriotism of the car
owners to exercise a proper discre.
ton in the use of their vehicles, with
a view to conserving their cars and
tires. Mr.. Weston is of the opinion
that the motorists of the country car
be trusted to cut down mere pleasure
riding to a minimum and to take
every possible step to save tires, OF.
and gasoline.

THE HOPE Of THE o r
BY HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

THE hope Of the world is not alone
that the armies Of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope Of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force of
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dam
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, Of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

county superintendent. This commit
tee will, under the law, meet at the
court house next Monday morning to
conduct the examination The ques-
tions are prepared by the state Board
of Education and the papers are sent
to Nashville to be graded.
Prof John P Graham. the present
county superintendent, does not have
to take the examination as he holds a
life certificate. No other person in
the county now holds certificate who
will be a candidate and it is not
thought probable that any one will
qualify and if they do the chances for
defeating the present superintendent
before the county court at its January
term are not considered encouraging.
Prof. Graham is now, serving his

he said that the man who knocks the
governments plans for raising money
or crticises what other patriots are
doing is a Bolsheviki in a. land of
freedom and should be ostracised by
decent people.
Mr.. Smiser was presented by Chair
man Sloan as a fellow townsman re-
turned from faraway land, whom
everyone was glad to welcome home.
The speaker expressed his pleasure
in being back at home with his feet
upon his native heath and spoke of his
first trip to Alaska. when he learned
that people are much the same every
where one goes. He said that he
would not attempt to detail the causes
leading up to the entrance OF America
into the war and to dwell upon the
greatness of Woodrow Wilson, whom
everyone recognizes as the worlds
leading statesman and foremost war
chieftian, but that he would relate
some of his experiences in Alaska,
which illustrate the spirit of patriot
ism that inspires the people of the far
northland and binds them to us as
brothers. AS proof of the unity OF
the people he related an incident in
which Maury county negro appeared
in. his court charged with a minor Of
tense and he didn't press the case too
hard against the culprit because it
developed that 81 Hopkins was from
CoiHmbia' and once Tented a house
from him.
Mr.. Smiser said that the population
of Alaska is $4,000, one half being ma
tive esquimauX and indians and the
other half representatives of almost
every nation under the sun, but they
are all progressive, intelligent, pat
riotic people who are ready to do
of $6S7,O0 in the Third Liberty Loan,
Alaska subscribed almost three times
that amount or $1,137, 900, and with
a per capita subscription of $3.50
ranked second only to Delaware in
the whole United States. Alaska has
gone well over the top in every drive
for the war, raising from one to three
times the amount asked for each
cause.
Describing journey he made
across Alaska and down the Yukon on
mission for the government, Mr..
Smiser said that he found the people
in even the most remote sections i'm
bued with the single purpose to- win
the war and crush Hunism from the
