THE REVISED COVENANT.

The revised covenant of the League of Nations was framed criticism the original draft, which originated largely in this country. Substantiall, every change that made has already been discussed by the ablest in the country and recapitulation here of that discussion would be merely tiresome
 Throughout the whole time since the first draft was published the central ideas which make the League thing desired in every civilized country have withstood every assault from the small and diminishing ranks of the opposition.
 Since the close of hostilities only two ways to make peace and secure it have been suggested One way the of way. which has been tried times with out number Nations have been subjugated, new

From political standpoint of the best appoint mens that have been made in Alaska was that of H Claude Kelly be Clerk of the Court at Fairbanks good appointment first of all because the man named competent and possesses those personal traits of afability and purpose to accommodate and give service that necessary in any public servant, and next because he is faithful worker for Alaska.

Kentucky Dog Law.

A newspaper, item tells us that
since Kentucky's new dog law
went into effect Janury l of this
year 10, 0,l63 more license tags have
been issued than in last yeer,l, 200
dogs have been killed and several
sheriffs have been indicted for
failure to carry out the provisions
of the law. A hundred and thirty
seven charges have been brought
before the grandjury against the
sheriff of one county. To all of
this [ would say, "Amen."
The one great argument against
q real dog law has been that it
could be enforced. Commissioner
Cohen is showing that such law
can be enforced, He says that
since the law is new and many
people do not fully understand it
it will not be his policy to- deal
harshly or implacsbly with people
who fail to secure dog licenses
promptly, but that he means to
see that it is enforced and that
sheriffs will be held to strict ac-
countability for it's enforcement.
That is the right spirit and Ken
lucky is setting other Southern
States good example in its deal
ing with dogs,-Southern Agrjcni-
turist.

Camden is noted for her open

jovial citizenship, her charming
women, beautiful girls and sturdy
young men, but in one respect the
stranger within our gates receives
q very unfavorable impression of
Camden. In the first place we are
very untidy as town. Weeds are
in evidence on every street; Vines,
brambles and underground almost
bar some of the sidewalks; fences
|.dilapidated, vacant lots ragged and
germ-laden ordors float out from
many of the back allies. Why say
more? .Excapt-lets all get busy

DANGEROUS NEW DISEASE

A very destructive disease Of
the Irish potato called the potato
wartdisease, long known in Europe
has been found in this country.
1t has not yet been found in Ten
nessee; but there is suspicion
that it may have been introduced
in foreign potatoes received here
in 1912.
The symptoms of the disease are
spongy outgrowths on the potatoes,
especially~at the eyes. They in
crease in size and may grow as
flarge as the potato itself. A num-
Der of warts tnay~erise at different
eyes, causing the. potato to become
spongy, warty mass. The warts
are light brown at first, becoming
darker, and fuanlly black with
age. When badly diseased pota-
toes decay in the soil, it becomes

WHY NOT CAMDEN, TOO?

Would it not be wise for Waver-
ly to have an ice plant? During
the past month of hot weather on
two or three occasions, our ice
dealer has been without ice to
serve his customers aud that, too,
at time when ice was worse
needed than at any time.
Why don't some of our business
men organize stock company and
put in q plant here that will give
the town ice and furnish ice for
the surrounding country? We
are informed that necessary ma
chinery can be bought for around
SO, 900 and that all told the plant
would not cost exceeding $4,000.
This appears to be good in
vestment and men who know state
that it is most profitable one as
little labor is required and very
small overhead expense. One
thing we do know, most towns the
size of Waverly manufacture theil
own ice and claim they are over
run with orders.
Others things could be run il
connection-a Laundry, bottling
works and numerous other things
go with an ice plant to make i
profitable the year round. Thinl

it would keep at home, to sa!
nothing of the prestige it would
add to our town.-Humphrey

A SOLILOQUY.

To build good roads, or not to
build good roads-that is the ques-
tion; whether tbs nobler purpose
of mind to comply with the popu-
lar demand for good roads, or take
up arms against such project and
stife the cry for good roads?
To refuse, to deny, to decline to
comply with the spirit Of the day
its a consummation devoutsdly
to be wished. To hesitate, to hope
to sleep, perchanse, to dream of
a way to build good roads without
money-ay, there's the rub; for in
that opposition to good roads may
come, when another election rolls
around, a change of sentiment be-
cause we failed of our duty, that
must give us pause in opposing
roads; then there is the respect we
should have for the public need,
the enormous expense the people
incur annually by not having good
roads; on the other hand, how may
we appease the "tightwads," the
men who would not give a cent foi
good roads, if they can avoid it
hear US, how are we going to gel
around them?
But why grunt and sweat under
"a weary life, why revel in sleepless
nights and a troubled mind by day
when there is way open to Cir.
cumvent it ell and at the same time
kill the good roads sentiment in
Benton County for years to come!
Hark, ye, we have only to levy g
big tax for road purposes and the
tax will prove so burdensome and
the plan SO slow that the people
after two or three years of it, will
say "never again"
Thus fear makes towards of us
fall, and thus the native hue of res
olution is sicklied over with the
pale cast of thought that we car
not please everybody; and enter.
prises of great pith and moment
with this regard, our thoughts turn
awry and lose the name of form oil
action-soft, now, oh, heavy bur.
denl How may we escape it and
save our faces?
