SEEKING INDEPENDENCE

upon means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled
 SEEKING INDEPENDENCE
 Senator Reed said that this simply means America would have to send troops into any part of the world into any coun. try in which rebellion might arise seeking it's own independence and Amer ica would have to aid the present form of government and he opposed the plan.
 'J deny the right of temporary pub lie officer to sacrifice your sons in the contests of other nations, to sacrifice the money from our taxpayers for their benefit to sacrifice our constitution and baptize it in theirs and who repudiates the principles of Washington and Jeffer- son and I thoroughly repudiate the idea that he has the privilege to sacrifice the American republic. I betray my office and abuse my trust when vote to sacri- flee your boys in other lands and it's poor business to undertake to care for the world, when we can hardly care for our selves" he said.
 Senator Reed requests the newspapers to print the league covenant in full in- stead of devoting their space to certain matter which he deemed as tommy rot and foolishness.
 In speaking of Article 1s of the peace treaty he stated this article had never reached this country until the arrival of the President a few days ago. and he did not believe anybody here had seen a copy of the article. Senator Reed said: "It is the dream of Karl Marx realized. and their government is government by classes and not people. and it is the dream of Trosky and Lennine.'
 He said: Ut Is logical to see why a man who could reject the covenant be- cause of the, small part he had. but how he cnuld say he was for it was like the man buying the gold brick for the sec ond time. and he held the newspapers and the financial interests responsible for it.

Pal Moore, the American bantamweight, will battle Jimmy Wilde, the English champion, in a @-round bout at London July r, which is Thursday. For nearly 30 years the rivalry between English and American flyweights has been of the keenest kind but during that time only one Yank has taken of the honors on English soil. Several have won in this country only to lose on the other side of the pond. This time however Moore will rule as the favorite, partly on account of his 3-round decision over Wilde during the fnterallied games some time back and partly because of his long reach Moore is not a hard puncher- we've seen him In a 15-round affair-but he can stand lots of punishment.

PAINT AND %ILLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo-
ealities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington, D. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
catiopal Bureau and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t LIS that In
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments OF facial adornments.
1t is true. though, that In the sections
Of all states where white lllIteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as a preservative.

DR.. BURROW ENDS LONG
AND USEFUL LIFE

Americus., Ca, Oct. 17.--Dr. Ian
sing Burrows, aged ~, who for more
than. 20 years VA aaer1f p The
Southern Baptist Convention, and one
Of the leading ministers of that de-
nomination in this country, died at a
hospital here to-day of bronchial
pneumonia.
DR.. Burrow gave up the secretar-
ial work of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention in 1914, but up to the time of
his, death held to the work of denomi-
national statistician, which he inaug-
urated in 1881. He was a Mason of
high rank, and author of numerous
church books and an educator of note.
The funeral was held today from
the First Baptist church here, of
which he formerly was pastor. The
body was taken to Nashville, his old
home for burial. 1t was announced
that the burial services at Nashville
will be conducted by Rev. Henry AL
ford Porter of Atlanta, on Sunday
morning.
DR.. Burrows was born in Philadel-
phia in 1912. He held high degrees
from Princeton University, New York,
and Bethel College, Kentucky. He
served in the Civil war and was cap
tured in Winchester, Va. In addition
to pastorates at Nashville, Tenn,
Augusta, Ca, DR.. Burrows also serv-
ed churches in Stanford and Lexing-

C0vERNMENT WILL
SELL AUTOMOBILES.

u Washington, Oct. l9.--Republican
leaders In the House have discarded
fhe ,ula .far free distribution of TIA
army surplus automobiles among the
various highway commissions.
Instead, resolution will be put
through ordering the War department
to sell direct to the public all cars not
required for military purposes.
This decision, it was learned today,
was reached at a conference yester-
day between the Republican members
Of the steering committee and those
of the committee on appropriations,
agriculture and military affairs.
The resolution will come from the
House select committee on expendi-
lures in the War department, which
initiated the legislation forcing the
sale of the army surplus foodstuffs
direct to the consumers.
Similar action in the case of the au-
tomobiles was proposed by the COM
mittee after lengthy hearings had de-
veloped that goods and cars, valued at
millions of dollars, are rapidly dete-
rotating while being withheld from
the market.
Early disposal of the army ma
chimes, the committee holds, is de-
manded, because of the admitted ina
bility of automobile manufacturers to
fill orders within less than two or
three months. The shortage, espec-
tally is so far as it affects trucks, it
is said, is an important factor in the
delay of industry and agriculture in
resuming normal production, thus
contributing to the continued high
cost Of living.

IN EGYPT
$500 YEARS AGO.

London, Oct. 17.-England doesn't
like soviets any NOSE for the disclos-
.urethat they are not oy Russion but
American invention, the Bolsheviki
having announced that their pet ma
chine had been had been anticipated
by several years by the people Of Yu-
catan. If there is one thing Europe
ans thought they had a corner on it is
political invention. When some one
came out and said that strikes and
strike-breaking originated in America
it begun to hurt, so professors were
sent to dig up a few historical facts
to support Europe's claim to original
ity.
In this backward race for question
able honors England claims first prize
because the old Adam of all strikes
was found to have flourished in the
good british soil of Egypt. 1t occur
red, as matter of fact, somewhat
earlier than the British protectorate,
about $500 years ago, when $4,000
men of the Egyption buildings trades
quit work as protest against their
conditions of labor, principally the in
adequate food arrangements.
After negotiations failed the gov
ernment called out the national guard
and organized a union Of strike break
ers and there were several thousand
casualties before work was resumed
on the skyscraper pyramids ofCheops.
All this had been found recorded in
finely quarried newspapers of the
day, TO the relief of those who had
been vainly trying to find Yucatan on

THIS is ROOSEVELT
MEMORIAL WEEKS

This week, all over the nation and
among Americans all over the world.
win be collected a preat fund for Tie
Of erecsfng nienufisiy II dif. Z
ferent places, in memory of Colonel
and Former President Theodore Roos-
evelt. Men who have money and have
claimed admiration for Mr.. Roosevelt,
now have the opportunity to prove
themselves by the only test that
shows a man for what he exactly is
the test of money. The humber adj
mirers of the former president, can
contribute their mite-and be enti-
tied to just as much honor. Almost
any Southern paper pays tribute to
Mr.. Roosevelt for his Zone hundred
per cent. Americanism"-and the fol-
lowing taken from the first paper at
hand is clipped from the Memphis
News Scimitar:
"The thing that counts is that he
was every inch man; that he had
courage; that he had faults; that he
was plain spoken and direct; and
above and beyond every other consid-
GRAFTON he was essentially human,
sympathetic and tender, and on occa-
sion could WELD the big stick with an
initiating effect.
Col. Roosevelt has been called the
typical American. He was more like
the American ought to be than like
he is. He might better be described
as the ideal American, provided your
ideal is not placed upon a pedestal out
of reach of the outstretched arms of
everyday, men, women and children.
But if the people of the South were
not able to accept Col. Roosevelt's
theories of government, his politics
or his policies, his vagaries or his
fancies-at least they pay him the un-
stinted tribute Of being the superpat-
riot.
Patriotism with Col. Roosevelt was
consuming passion. He loved his
people, especially the people Of the
great out doors, where they live close
to nature, and, partaking of their en-
vironments, are natural; he loved his
family, his wife and his children, but
his country was the object of his first
consideration.

SAVE SWEET POTATOES |
If POSSIBLE.

~.
Too heavy stress can not be laid
on the necessity Of extra effort to
save thesweet- potato crop this fan il
possible. Practically none Of the po-
tatoes were dug before the rains
which began on Friday, two weeks
ago, hence, remaining in the ground
during the week of the rainfall, they
became water-soaked, putting the tu-
bers in a condition which renders it
hard or almost impossible to save un-
less they are dried out by heat. If
you have neighbor in reach, that has
a potato house that he does not fill
with his own crop, prevail on him, if
you can, to house your potatoes, at
least until they have been cured. If
you have cellar of your own, in
which it is possible to put stove, do
so and keep fire there at 80 degrees
or little more until you can see that
the potatoes have been dried-say q
week or ten days. The sweet potato
is so valuable as food product that
the heavy loss in them every Winter
is little short of calamity. You can
dig your potatoes even when the
earth is quite wet, provided you have
a way to dry the potatoes with heat
applied. 1t is reasonable to expect
that the bulk of potatoes stored this
winter in an ordinary cellar will rot
and the only salvation lies in the ap-
plication of the heat Immediately af-
ter digging.

PLEDGED BY METHODISTS.

X-.1F 81
Cincinnati, Oct. 17.-Dr. Clarence
4. Wilson Of Washington, D. G., sec
|f4tary of tha famporance board az the
Methodist Church, TO-DAY at the inter-
national convention of the Disiples
of Christ declared in an address that
Rthe elimination of the cigarette would
be the next crusade undertaken by the
church.
"The cigarette impaired the health
of two million soldiers in our army"
he declared. "We have been sold out
by the White House band to the to-
bacco trust"
DIR. Wilson also took occasion to de-
clare that the "forces of reform" are
lined up for Sabbath observance. He
said:
'The Christian Sabbath must re-
place the Hun Sabbath. The entire
force of the church from now on will
be back of all legislation. Men will
continue to drink but we will have no
more organized debauchery. Can any
one doubt the fact that the beer guz-
zling army of Germany, however per-
fectly trained was no match for our
prohibition American army.?"
The appointment of an arbitration
committee of 20 members from each
side to reconcile differences of the
merger and anti-merger factions of
the Disiples of Christ was considered
today.
