Rural Development
National Problem,
Says DR.. Butler

The problem Of rural development is
a national problem" DR.. TAFT Butler,
editor of the Progressive Farmer, told
the members of the Country Life con-
ference at the West Tennessee Normal
school Tuesday morning. THE prob
lem" said DR.. Butler, lis unique neither
TO the North nor South, nor any other
section; there is just as great a need
for improvement of rural communities
in New York state and Iowa as in Ten
nessee, Arkansas or Mississippi"
Statistics, he said, would show that
81 per cent Of the population Of this
section is in the rural communities, yet
a great deal more is being lone for the
betterment of city life Than for country
life.
Better education he believed to be one
OF the chief means toward solving the
problem Of rural development. This
part of the problem must be solved be-
fore rural communities car be built Up,
he said. Rural women must be trained
to become better wives and mothers,
n better homemakers. Rural teach
ers, rural doctors, rural preachers n
farmers must all be better educated.
The rural problem declared DR.
Butler, must be solved with rural
innings. rural JeAlDOOkS ana rural OI-
Ranization must be used; city textbooks
and city organization a not succeed. y
A QUESTIONABLE sent through the
rural communities of this section had
shown, DR.. Butler said, that AZ per cent
of the people of rural communities get
their information from the daily papers
and farm journals; 10 per cent from
public gatherings; s per cent from books
n other reading material. He said that
rural peoples must be encouraged to
read more and get more ideas from the
outside world.
The first step toward solving the
rural problem, should be, DR.. Butler
said, the searching out of the true
problem, whether 1t be better schools,
better church, more livestock or what
not
The Rev. r. A. N. Wilson, of Panola
county, Miss, pronounced the invoca-
ton at the opening of the second days
session Of the conference Tuesday
morning. He later led in several of
the round table discussions.
A wire was received by DR.. A. A. KIM
cannon, who is presiding over the con-
ference, from p. P. ClaXton, U. s. COM
missioner Of education, stating that
representatives of his department are
en- route to the conference. They are
expected to arrive Wednesday,.

GERMAN SAILORS SHOT
BY OFFICERS, MAN SAYS

THURSO, Scotland, June "A. CBy the
Associated Press.)-German sailors
were shot by their own officers when
they attempted to obey commands Of
British officers to return to their ships
and shut the seacocks. This statement
was made by Lieut.. Nuttall, of the
steamer Alouette, who reached here
from Scspa Flow.
Il pulled alongside a German de-
struyer when ! saw the ship begin to
settle" said Nuttai. and ordered the
Germans back to close the seacocks.
thet German officers shot three dead.
We opened fire on the officers and sew
eral Of them dropped. Others among
the Germans then returned and closed
the seacocks.. The Germans were also
driven back to four or five other de-
stroyers and closed the seacocks in time
to keep the vessels afloat.'
Lieut.. Nuttall, reports that the En-
den has been pumped out and is now
afloat. The Baden's crew were forced
back to that vessel and compelled to
shut the Seacocks.
Directly the first red flag and Ger
man ensign were hoisted on the first
battleship," he added, "the German ad-
miral put off in a motor boat to the
British air station ashore. He stated
that the ships were sinking, and re-
quested assistance. The admiral was
arrested. Naval men believe the trip
was a ruse to lead to the belief that
the crews were taking charge Of the
ships. This however, was not sub
stantiated by what actually happened"

M0LLIE QUlRK AGAIN
AFTER KALLAHER MONEY

The morning session of United States
district court Tuesday was consumed
in arguments regarding the admissibili-
ty of testimony in the case of Mollie
Quirk, who is suing the estate Of the
late Patrick Kallaher for $400, 900, al
legged to be due her for almost an entire
lifetime of services as companion with
out any compensation. The basis for
acttonais founded to a great degree-on
a promise said to have been made to
Miss Quirk by Kallaher between 1910
aSd 1912.
Judge John e. Mccall ruled that all
transactions and relations involving
love, devotion and the like, prior to
1910. be excluded from the evidence
when the jury takes the case.
Kallaher, who was an old resident OF
Memphis, died, leaving a large estate.
The plaintiff who claims to have met
him in Waukesha, Wis, when she was
but 16 years of age, asserts she devoted
the greater part of her life in effort to
contribute to his happiness and CON-
fort.
At a former trial, a judgment
for $500, 900 was rendered but the APPEL
late court set that Judgment aside.
