Editor Morgan County Press:

Sunhright, Tenn, Nov. B, 1919.
Editor Morgan County Press:
Last Sunday, the 18th inst, Hon,
VIM. Bullard gave q dinner in honor
of the soldiers of Sunbright and the
5th civil districss;of Morgan county.
The affair was an example of the gen.
erosity Of Judge Bnllard and his fam
lily. The Judge has, ever since the war
opened between this country and the
Central Allies, had the deepest sense
of feeling and affection for the boys
in the service of their country, and
when the opportunity presented itself
he entertained as many as would come
at dinner on the above date.
The following boys (who had been
in the service of the country were
present: Oscar Human, Walter E.
Human, Wilburn Hall, Mark Ham
bright, Everett Jones, Carl Trew, Dud-
ley Holiday, Harvey and Fred BuI-
lard, the last three being from Oak
dale. There were, also, present Mr..
and Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Harvey Bull
lard. and Mrs. Dudley Hollaway, all
of Oakdale. There were also some OF
the Judges own townsmen present,
among whom was Rev. H. A. Gamble,
who, after luncheon, the good music,
and fine stories and games, made a
short but splendid address along the
line of patriotism and Christianity.
The whole affair was very pleasant,
entertaining, and instructive and will
long be remembered by those present.
The speaker closed his address with
the following thought: Gentlemen.
vcu with others. have made the world
safe for Democracy and to great ex-
tent for Religious Freedom. In l716
Democracy raised its head above pollt-
ical oppression and fought it with the
vigor of lion and gained the victory,
and Democracy was established In
America. France caught the vision
and she threw down her old monarchy
and established q Republic, then the
I,atin-American States caught the
spirit and they threw down their OPP
pressors and established popular gov
ernments, the same spirit OF Liberty
has belted the earth, liberal govern
ments have been established around
the globe, but, boys, this has all peen
done through the shedding OF mucn
blood and the loss Of life, and you, my
brave countrymen, you put yourselves
up for the defense Of these great prin-
ciples, you, put yourselves up 20 ole
for them. Defenders OF your country,
YEA. even more, defenders Oh tne
rights of mankind GOD piess you'
long may you live" L A.,
The Judge was well pleased with tne
department Of the young, gentlemen
and they will always f1nd In MN
close friend and admirer.

DEP0RTING RADICALS.

The general public will hear with
pleasure any news of deportations OF
radicals. Foreigners who come into
this country for the purpose Of incit-
ing trouble between the government
and the people are dangerous, and
should be sent away. The danger does
not lie in their professed belief in rad
icsal rule. but in their willful misrepre-
sentation to the ignorant.
That the United States has for
wears permitted such individuals TO
hand on its shores is explained by the
hope that our system Of government
would assimilate them, but the tallacy
lies in the fact that no government
can assimilate a professional radical

fields where acres of noble ld-e4rult
trees gave spring time ,breezes rich
perfume and autumn winds oount1s
full harvest, now We find only here and
there a gflarled, Scared stub. With
care and attention few may i'll time
be brought to produce fruit again. but
in most every instance, if fruit is,*te +
be had. resettilg will 3Is Hssessariys
This will have to be done very grad
ually, extending over atlife q period
of time, due to scarcity of trees ana
to the immediate demand for labor
and ground to produce quicker food
crops.
In prewar years when European
orchards were at their best the fruit
export trade of the United States was
around $12,QO0,O00 annually, and now
with many European orchards exist
ing only in memory, we find an IN
finitely greater outlet and demand for
American grown fruits. Just in re-
cent years, many extracting COM
panies are using fruit juices so extern
sively that they have opened new
avenue for, fruit.
Not all sections of the United
States, however, are adapted to the
growin&of fruits, but in every section
we find that fruit in some form is fast
becoming recognized as daily food
necessity. Some of our grandfathers
and great-grandfathers must have
dipped into the future farther than
human eye could see" and caught a
vision of our needs half hoping and
trusting that we would kindly cart
for and train the trees they so ten
derly planted. About many old home
places we find these trees with their
large .girth and tremendous spread o.
branches which were they properly
cared for would speak for many years
yet of peace, plenty and possibility.
The writer has just visited some of
these old home orchards in Sewer
county-one tree known to be 78
years old still bearing. four other
trees on same orchard where the
owner sold $50 worth of apples this
year. The fruit from this old settled
section attracted the attention and ad-
miration of thousands of visitors at
the Knoxville fair. AS we think of the
necessity for fruit, it painssus to see
that many of these old-time, honored
and profitable orchards are declining
from neglect faster than young trees
take their places.
With the demand for fruit con-
stantly increasing, its area of con-
sumption broadening and our old trees
gradually declining from age and
neglect, where do we hear a more i'm
perative call of duty to ourselves, our
state and posterity than for the plant
ing of fruit trees? Tennessee has
been given every necessary element
for the growing of perfect fruit. On
your place you may see fit to plant
and care for one tree or for a thou
sand but unless you exercise this God
given possibility to the best that lies
within you, have you any right to
muTmur or complain about the scar
city Of fruit or the high cost Of liv-
ings

Lenine, the Bolshevik leader, 'has
initiated movement t6'1fee Russian
women from "the chains of domestic
slavery and the care Of children" He
has begun an experiment upon a7wide
scale.
Seven thousand Russian children Of
few years have been taken from their
parents to be brought up by the Boil
sheviki under state control. Their cdu-
cation will be at this public institute,
and in order to make the :emancipa-
tion of the mothers. complete, visits
are forbidden. Thus, the. children will
be socialized. No wonder soldiers are
on duty at the institute ftoh guard
them! -
We wonder what American mothers
would do under such circumstances
We are rather surprised that even in
Russia there has not been born an
other women's battalion to rescue
their offsptings. This experiment of
Lenine's will in the end result in fur
ther discred9t to his scheme, and will
give the world another example of the
folly of radicalism.. ..n

roll call, President Sidney G. Gill

Normal johnson City,. made one of
the best addresses ever; given at an
educational conference. President
Gilbfeath gave in most graphic and
convincing manner the new days and
new duties that confront the teachers
anil those in authority. Among the
many and timely observations was the
report Of a group of East Tennessee
counties through their superintend-
ents to the effect that Of the 936
teachers now employed in the schools,
15O were using temporary certificates;
notwithstanding this sad commentary,
the average was equally as efficient as
under the old law when there was no
uniformity n the tests and when in SO
many cases local politics and sinister
influences were brought to bear; that
the examinations by the ste result
IN higher standard as to require
ments. He pointed to the general un-
rest of the hour indicating the big
tasks for the teachers. All in all. it
was a masterful address al made a
profound impression.
The representative from the state
department of education, Prof. Mack
lin, made a stirring appeal on the
topic, Teachers Organizations;" like
all educators of the present, he point
ed out that teachers would never
strike but would effect wholesome re-
suits IN constructive way through
organizations
Both the speakers took occasion to
say that our county superintendent.
A. b. Peters, was attracting attention
over the state as live wire and
most progressive School man.
Supt. Peters made a most practical
address in the forenoon session. He
strongly urged the teachers to dedi-
cate themselves to all that is best in
this hour of grave responsibility.
The round-table discussions in the
afternoon brought out many subjects
OF interest; all the teachers took part
IN attention to every suggestion: our
truant officer, Mr'M. NJ. Goad. was
present and answered questions as tk<
the results of his:pficial work in the
county; the teachers were IMPRESSED
with the earnestness of Mr.. Goad IN
TINS connection; he has visited in
every section of the county, following
up the notices of absent pupils. MAX
ing warnings that have been observed
IN the main; in very few cases he had
to serve warrants; next Saturday
some patrons win be tried and the law
enforced as to fines; the chairman
thanked Mr.. Goad on behalf of the
teachers for the cooperation shown
and the trend Of his talk on this inn
