,OUTHERiI MONEY
FOR SOUTHERN MEN
Great Drive of the Y. M. c. A
For an All-Southern
Program.

Beginning on October TO- and con-
tinuing for ten days, there will be
pressed in all the southern states, a
Simultaneous campaign to raise the
funds necessary for the work Of the
" NJ. G. A. throughout the southern
states.
This work has been enlarged and
extended by reason of changed condi
tions that are brought about as re-
suit of the war. The Y. M. c. A. has
determined to do everything that it
possibly can to reach the men and to
throw around them wholesome and
stimulating influence. This necessi-
tates considerable increase in the
working force of the state committee;
that, of course, means more money
must be had, and more vigorous
campaign must be prosecuted to Sc
cure the needed funds.
For several weeks there has been
sent out from Nashville much litera-
ture explaining the work Of the Asso-
citation, defending it against the crit
icism that has been made concerning
its war activities and showing the
necessity for an increased budget for
work at home. This literature has
been sent to the leaders of Christian
effort in all the various communities
of the state and now after they have
had time to read and consider the ap-
peal that has been made. they are
asked to put some of their dollars
into an investment for men.
The work contemplated includes the
regular work of the Association
through its buildings and ,.lso an ex-
tension to the rural communities
through its organized county work.
It also endeavors to reach the work.

and railroad centers. 1t is also put

The boys work is one of the strong
features of the program of the "Y"
and through the competent leadership
of experts, everything is being done
that is possible to help the boy in the
critical> time of his life decision, One
OF the great features of the boys work
Is the establishment of three boys
camps where the boys of the state
can be brought together for vacations
under wholesome and inspiring influ-

one of the three sections of the state
and each camp will be equipped with
proper athletic and other supplies,

is an opportunity for the people of Ten
nessoe to show their appreciation of
their manhood and they will use the

and special committees will call upon

and the response is sure to be liberal.

COMMUNITY WORK
Strong Words of Commenda-

The Community Work program and
emphasis of the Young Mems Chris

DEMONSTRATION
OF BUCKS RANGE
Factory Man Here Friday, Auspice,
of Rhodes -Burford Company,
Local Dealers.

Friday afternoon, last, considera-
BILE interest was shown in range
demonstration at the Rhodes Burford
store in this city-being the occasion
of the visit of factory representa-
tive of the Bucks Range.
A large platform and exhibition
space was arranged in front of the
furniture store, and when Mr.. E. A.
Kupper of the factory, started his
demonstration the crowd had swelled
to large proportions. Mr.. Kupper
explained some of the exclusive fea-
lures of Bucks hot blast heaters,
showing how stove heated floor, roast
ing some potatoes in the ash pan of
the stove and, to show how powerful
overdraft drives heat to base, he bak-
ed several pans of biscuit in the ash
pan.
One of the exclusive features of
Bucks hot blast is the patented hot
blast ring which causes fire to burn
around the outside like the wick of
a Rochester lamp radiating heat i'm
mediateay after the fire is started.
In order to show that the fire burns
around the outside and not in the
middle like ordinary stoves Mr.. Kup-
per placed five dollar bill in the
stove and left it there during the
demonstration, this was merely to
show that the fire did not burn from
the center.
Bucks hot blast is the result of 70
years of experience by the Buck
Stove and Range Company, in the
manufacture of stoves.
And, a great many features were
explained during the demonstration.

IN MEMORY OF
Raymond Coley Haskins

Raymond Coley Haskins, son of R.
M. and Dollie A. Haskins, was born
June %, 1902, departed this life Oc-
tober rs, 1919, aged seventeen years
four months and four days.
He professed religion in August,
1915, Immediately uniting with the
Missionary Baptist Church in which
he lived devout, consistent member
until the end.
He is survived by an almost heart
broken mother and father, two broth
ers, j. j. and w. P. Haskins, a large
number of relatives and friends, all
of whom admired and held him in
high esteem, because of his happy,
genial disposition, his high and noble
ideals of life.
He was an obedient, devoted and
loving son, kind affectionate broth
er and true and faithful friend.
He quietly fell asleep as he had
lived, in the full triumph of a living

One in particular being the fuel used
which was slack, being the cheapest
fuel obtainable. Mr.. Kupper ex-
planned to the people how the Bucks
hot blast burned all the gas from the
slack, producing very fine coke
which is then consumed IN the stove,
making terrific heat, thereby show
ing the fuel saving qualities and
proving that Bucks hot blast will
pay for itself in the saving on fuel
bills.
After the demonstration was over
and fire removed from stove, solid
cake of coke was made which is now
on display in the Rhodes Burford
window bed.
