BUSINESS MEMS CLUB NOTES
By the Seeretary.

The following, taken from the News
Scimitar of last Sunday, will be Of
interest to Upton countians, because
it contains a quotation from Mr.. L, G..
Norvell, Of Newbern, a former Cow
ingtonian, and because it concerns
the Improvement of the JEFF Davis
highway and the establishment of the
auto motor mail service through our
county. The G. B. M. G. has already
taken this matter up with Mr. Blakes-
lee, Of the postoffice department, and
with our senator, congressman and
other business organizations along the
highway
"The initial effort in comprehen-
sive scheme to motorize trunk high
ways in this section of the South Is
expected to be launched here next
month at a meeting Of the Jefferson
Davis Highway Association, when
plans for hard-surfacing the highway
its entire length viii be concluded.
At this meeting it is confidently e&-
pected, government sanction Of a mo-
tor truck mail service north and south
through Memphis will be officially
announced.
In a letter to James |. BIakeslee,
fourth assistant postmaster general,
inviting a representative Of the post
office department to address the con-
yention, L. G. Norvell Of Newbern.
Tenn, president of the Jefferson Da-
Wis Highway Association, says.
! am sure there is no course
through the south over which more
population per mile would be served
than over this highway, of which I
am confident you will be convinced
after investigating.
Also 1t occurs to me that another
meritorious claim this route has for
one of the motor truck lines lies in
the fact that much of the mail service.

The banquet of the Dyefsburg
Chamber of Commerce was held at
that place on the night of January 10.
Nearly $50 Of the business men Of
Dyersburg and Dyer county attended:
The addresses were on the subject Of
good roads, good schools and agrlc'h-
tural development. One hundred new
members were added to the club.
We congratulate our neig abcrs on
having the real spirit Of progress.
The Humboldt Business Mems Club
is planning for continued progress
and expansion, Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. "A. B. Faust, who has
served them as secretary for six
years, has resigned. Mr. S. e Sheard,
prominent business man, has accept
ed the secretaryship, and we look for
no backward step.
The extremely high prices Of poul-
try and eggs should induce our peo-
pie to try for a greatly increased pros
duction this year. AS side line t9
the average farming operation, poul-
try raising is both pleasant and prof
liable.
With a shortage in the worlds
supply Of food and the opening up Of
transportation facilities, we may cx-
pect good prices for anyfood produce,
and especially poultry and eggs. We
now have first-class market, and
are making carload shipments, which
is a new thing for Upton county.
Only few simple rules are necessary
in the growing of poultry, and the G.

Within the scope of a little less
than two years, America has done
what her enemies said she couldn
do in half dozen years We have
turned the tide of nations we have
become a military factor of the first
water; we organized, equipped, train
led and transported overseas an army
which, in few more months, would
have become second to none on Eu'
ropean battlefields,
In addition to this was the gigantic
enterprise, so admirably concluded,
which embraced the plotting out, the
building and completion of thirty
five Of the worlds largest training
camps for soldiers. All this, mind
you, in much less time than two
years, for the greatest part Of this
period was devoted to the training
of men, the camps, as it were, having
sprung up overnight, this due en-
tirely to theN magnificent co-opera-
tion of American labor and American
capital. But was this really a mag
nificent thing to do? Was this ev-
idence of unselfishness on our part
lit would seem the contrary were
true: for we have striven not FOR a
government, but AS a government,
we, the people, being the government,
and our efforts and dollars but raised
the breatsworks yet a little higher
before each individual citizen. In
short, not cause have we succored
which has been entirely removed
from our own selfish interests. A
bond was a bullet aimed at Kaiser
ism; war savings stamp was
mouthful of food given the civilian
to the soldier who was protecting
him. We deserve little credit for
going any length in self-protection.
We must get out Of the way of
speaking of our "heroic self-sacrifice"
as if the fight were not our own.
We have but fought our own battles,
either at home or at the front, as
the case might have been, and ac-
cording to our several opportunities
as soldier or civilian.
And now arises a cause which Isl
not our own, but which we are cali
ed upon to make our own. In the
wake Of war stalks Famine, dread
specter, winner Of war in its own
strength We live in a land Of plen-
ty; we have no conception of what
it means to starve to death. Had the
expected six years or more of war
held us, then surely we would have
known. But ever blessed from its
nativity Columbia has been spared
the horror of having a world war
fought on her green fields, and we
must not forget that the stars which
be-diamoned our nights look In pity
on ruined France and blood-stained
Belgium. The war is no more, and
America will throw her arms around
her allies. supporting them until
they shall have regained their

NEXT LOAN APRIL 6

Washington, Jan. IL Opening of
the fifth Liberty loan campaign on
April 6, the second anniversary of the
declaration Of war against Germany,
is under consideration BY the treas
ury department, but no decision has
been reached. The third Liberty
loan drive started on April 6, 1918,
the first anniversary. II is planned
to have the campaign run for three
weeks, and to ask for between five
and six billion dollars. Whether the
interest rate will be higher than IA
per cent, borne by the last issues,
depends partly on the movement of
the market price Of Liberty bonds
during the next two months. The
bonds will be Of short maturity, in
the neighborhood of five years.
Advertising posters Of the fifth
loan have been partially chosen, and
organizers already are making pre-
liminary plans for sales campaigns.
Motion picture houses and public
speakers will be used extensively.

CAMPAIGN ON
FOR CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

The Baptists of Tennessee are in
the midst Of their great campaign
to raise three hundred thousand dol
lars for Christian education. An eff
ficient organization has been perfect
ed whereby every church in the state
is to be canvassed for funds 1t is
mainly a campaign for Liberty bonds,
which are to be accepted at face
value. Rev T. Riley Davis, who has
the campaign in charge for Big Hat
chic association, reports that a most
hearty and enthusiastic response is
being made to this appeal in the be-
half of the Christian colleges by the
churches Of this association
Rev. Charles Il. Wauford is manag-
ing the campaign among the church.
es Of Upton county, and reports that
quite a number of the churches have
assumed their allotments already, and
have entered into the work Of rais-
ing them. The First Baptist Church
at Covington has enthusiastically UNI
dertaken to raise S2,50000. The
churches at Oak Grove and Liberty
are making as their goal at least
S250.00 each. So is the church at
Charleston. An active campaign is
to be on in all the churches of the
county within the next few days.
Subscriptions to this campaign are
to be paid in Liberty bonds, cash or
other securities, and mNst be paid
not later than August 1. 1t is the
purpose of the management TO encour-
age small gifts as we'll as larger ones.
Besides paying off the Indebtedness
Of the schools in the state, it is stat
ed, the Baptists are to place their
educational institutions on d firmer
and more substantial basis.
