tarism has given out a letter written by
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
to Mrs. Clarence E. Allen Of Salt
Lake City, Utah, the mother of a boy
who was killed in France, declaring
himself as opposed to all bills before
congress providing for compulsory mill
tary training. Coming from Senator
Penrose, although he has been in some
instances lately breaking away from
the old order Of things, his stand is re-
freshing In the letter he says:

slant, protesting as a mother against
certain legislation pending in Congress
providing for compulsory military
training.
II am opposed to the Legislation now
under consideration, and do not believe
it is necessary to resort to compulsory
military training in order to maintain
suitable and adequate defense for the
country. 1 am Of the opinion that a
small standing army, and volunteer
force when needed, will meet all the re-
suirements of the situation.'

The War Savings organization Of the
Ninth Federal Reserve district, in an
effort to stimulate the buying Of treas
ury savings certificates in denomina-
tons Of 800 and $1,000, are sending
out some cleverly gotten up literature
showing the need of saving. Statistics
gathered by the American Bankers as
ISOLATION shows that of 100 men at the
age Of 25 years, all self supporting
and with good prospects, 40 years lat
er, 81 are in the poorhouse or totally
dependent on other g charity, Sc have
died, 6 are still working for living,
3 are well to do and l Is rich. Stats
ties further show that Of every 100 wild
ows IS are dependent on charity, Al
are working for living and Is are in
comfortable circumstances. The zenith
of wealth and earning capacity is plac-
ed at IS years. A study Of the figures
is Illuminating and convincing, and
shows the great need and good Of saw
ing, if but in small amounts and these
certificates, which compounded at pei
cent really makes some over AZ pei
cent certificates, at maturity, is pointed
to as gilt edged and safe investment.

Recommends Rank Of Rear Admiral.
Washington, Oct. 8.-Permanent
rank of vice admiral for Rear Admirals
Sims, Benson and Mayo is proposed
in bill ordered favoraby reported
by the senate naval committee. Presi-
dent Wilson had recommended the
rank of full admiral for Sims and
Benson and this was provided for in
the measure as it passed the, house.
The senate compromise resulted from
opposition to giving the rank Of ad.
miral to Admiral Benson, and also to
insistent demand that equal recognt
ton be accorded Admiral Mayo.

"The present trouble with the ne

GLAD TO HEAR FROM PECK

Among the visitors at the state
capitol during the state fair week was
Capt. T. f. Peck, who was commits
sioner of agriculture during the four
years Of B. W. Hooper's administers
ton. Throughout his term of office
Capt. Peck manifested deep inter-
est in the fair and in the agricultural
welfare of Tennessee. He is still
member of the board Of fair trustees,
having charge Of the live stock de-
partment Of the big exposition. He
was something of live wire when he
was at the head of the agricultural
department and under his guidance
the bureau accomplished great deal
of good for the state. After leaving
the department he busted himself
with his lands on Croker Greek in
Monroe county, Tenn. These lands are
in the very midst Of what is known as
the Croker Creek gold field. Capt.
Peck has not lost sight Of the prob
ability Of finding gold on his holdings,
but for the present his farm is devot-
ed to live stock. 1t is model farm,
the crops this year have returned
abundant yields, and arrangements
are now about completed for mining
for gold. The farm comprises over
800 acres and some gold has already
been found on that part of it border
ing on the creek. There is also good
water power for whatever operations
may be undertaken.
Capt. Peck says his grandfather
from first to last mined about $780,
10000 Of pure gold on Croker Creek
by the use of the crudest of tools.
With shovel and pick he brought to
light two nuggets, each weighing one
and one-fourth pounds, The north
slope of the Unaka mountains has
gulches draining into Co
ker creek, all furnishing pan gold.
Some specimens of the Croker creek
gold was seen in the geological dis
play at the State Fair.-Banner, 21st.
