Spread Of Typhoid
Can Be Checked.

Members of girls clubs thru
out the State are being taught to
fight typhoid fever in every way.
Lessons in how to fight it are
given by county nome demon
stration agents.
They are taught that typhoid
car be prevented if the germs
are Kept out of water and food,
and if other precautions are
taken.
They are told that when one
member of the family been es
i'll with tyuhoid the nurse can
prevent the disease spreading to
other members of the family.
She should not handle cooking
utinsils. drinking cups which
others use. or anything else that
is a probable medium of distribu-
ton.
Cleansing the hands after each
time the patient has been given
care, is a splendid preventive.
1t can be done in this way: wash
the hands with soap and water;
follow by rinsing them in a
quart of boiled water to which
has been added a solution of one
ounce of glycerine. and a tea
spoonful of 95 percent carbolic
acid. The solution should be
made fresh each day.

A Farmer Who Makes
Farming a Fine Art.

took a Sunday dinner the
other day with a farmer-acquaint
ance of whom ,one may well say,
May his tribe increased"
To this man farming is a fine
art. He bought most of his land
years ago when it was CALLED
and quilted, almost worn out"
as most of the neighbors thought.
He has made it his life. work to
nurse these acres back to health
and fruitful comeliness. He has
thought of himself as trustee for
the Almighty, the responsible
care-taker for a portion of Gods
footstool. He has had for his
ideal the saying of Carlyle's:
"Oh, it is great and there is no
other greatness, to make some
nook of Gods creation more
fruitful, better, more worthy of
God!" And this truest great
ness of our friend has most as
suredly won.
1t was an inspiration to walk
over his beautiful fields and find
with what surgeon-like skill he
had healed bleeding gully
wound at this point; how careful
ly he had laid off a land-saving
terrace on this hillside; how
wisely he had brought yonder
water-seeped bottom into beauty
and productiveness by means of
tile drainage; how happily he
had made straight a crooked
stream and thereby made more
shapely a promising field; how
prudently he had converted a
tract unfit for tillaee into a fruit.
full pasture: and with what con-
cern for the beautiful he had
nurtured the giant oaks and the
Towering vines and shrubbery
which surrounded the fair home
and gardens.
AS we walked and talked with
this man. we found in him thu
same glorious. enobling passion
which dignifes the true artist

given ideal on canvas. no great

Purpose and Aim of Jackson
County High School.

The purpose of our school is
to serve the boys and girls OF
Jackson county. No institution
can have a loftier ideal than that
of service. So, with this ideal
before us we hope to make this
years work the most successful
in the history of the school. In
order that the school may func.
ton in the education of the chill
dren the two must be brought
together. Our School Board to-
gether with the town authorities
and business men should perfect
plans at once, whereby, the chill
dren who desire to come here
from different parts Of the coun-
ty may get board and lodging at
reasonable rates.
We want the people to fully
realize that the school at Gaines
boro. is a county institution. that
it is their school, and that its
usefulness will be determined
largely by their patronage and
cooperation.
In any school system three
factors working together always
get results; that is, the teachers,
the parents and the children.
So, let's make a practical de-
monstration this year and verify
this statement. We want every
boy and girl in the county. who
desire to complete their high
school training to know that they
have this opportunity offered
them at home, and their patron
age is essential, if our school
functions as it should in our
county system.
Our course of study is based
upon outlines prepared by the
State Board of Education. We
have the grammar school con-
sisting of the first eight grades,
in the elementary course of
study. The high school offers
the regular four year work, the
same as any other high school in
Tennessee. Pupils will be pro-
NOTED upon satisfactory compile
tion of any grade.
We kindly ask that you con-
slider this school before sending
your children out of the county.
If any information is desired
from people over the county,
see or write, Prof. Harry Moore,
orJ. C. Tinsley.

Constitutional Convention Election

to progress and prosperity.
/ On Thursday. September 4
voters throughout the state ar
to decide whether to have a Con
stitutional Convention, that need
ed amendments may be submit
ed for ratification by the people
or if we are to remain an unpro
gressive State of this great ma
ton. Patriotism and State
plide should insure an over.
whelming affirmative vote.
A constitution is the keystone
in the arch of government. II
the keystone is out of place the
arch will weaken and eventually
fall. If the constitution is not
suited to the needs of the time
the State cannot prosper.
A constitution is the funda-
mental law, framed to protect
the rights and liberties of the
people and restrictive of haSty
and ill-considered legislation.
Constitutional protection at one
period of the nations life, how
ever may under changed condi-
tions become an obstacle to es-
sential legislation.
Laws to meet present. not
past, conditions should be con-
stitutionally authorized. World
changes have taken place in the
last half century. A revolution
in economic affairs, and Tennes-
see has outgrown her constitu-
ton. The coat of mail has be-
come a shirt of Nessus. /"
Our forefathers builded wisely
for their day and time. In GER
tain fundamentals their work
will endure with this Republic,
but law and institutions once
sufficient becomes unadapted
when conditions change.
We arc prone to hope that
patching may keep the garment
worthy of wear; to hope that re-
generation may come to institu-
tions ender which we were born;
but no good is ever accomplished
by prolonging artificially the life
of and archaic constitution when
its once-tlme merits have ceased
to exist.
Our Supreme Court pronounc-
ed sentence upon our constitu-
tion when, in obedience to its
mandates, the court was con.
strained time and again to SET
aside the legislative voice of the
people.
Time has brought such radical
changes in economic conditions
that the pyramid is standing on
its apex. We have now the op.
portunity to right this condition

More Than Million Men Mus
tered Out in Two Months.

washington, ~. y. Inc Qe
mobilization of our army to date
was declared one of the greatest
accomplishments of the war by
Secretary Baker in a statement
pointing out the comparison be-
tween the figures in this wal
and those of '98- and '65. The
Secretary laid particular en-
phasis upon the great record OF
transportation achieved in re-
turning the men from France.
"The disqualification record to
date is one of the most splendid
successes of/the war, " said the
Secretary. 1T ranks favorably
with the greatest achievements
of the war. In one month alone
we brought home more than a
third Of a million men. this with
little help from the British and
French shipping, which had been
largely withdrawn at that time.
The British and French took
more than fifty per cent of our
men overseas. but almost single
handed we brought back as many
as 364, 600 men in the month of
June, more men than were ever
transported overseas in single
month.
"Demobilization during the
present war has far eclipsed the
work either of the Civil or the
Spanish war. To date we have
brought back from overseas
more than l,888,0OO men. We
have demobilized all but about
100000 of our four million men.
In one month after the sign
ing of the Armistice we had de-
mobilized 35l, 206 men and 16.
officers. In 1898 it took ten
months to muster out 197, 397 of
the ZIG, ,259 officers and men serv-
ing when the Amerscan force in
that war was at its peak. Ger
tain units were demobilized from
the Philippines even later than
that. In the Civil War the
strength of the volunteer army
was l,O34, ,064 when demobiliza-
tion began. 1t took from May l
1865, to November l. 1866, or
eighteen months to muster out
this force. In approximately
two and a half months after the
Armistice we had mustered out
1923, 884 m an and $1,000 officers
thus more than equaling the
months record of the
civil war.
'The movement homeward
and rehabilitation of troops be-
gan almost contemporanteously
with the signing of the Armis,
tice. At the time the President,
going abroad in March. ordered
rapid rehabilitation. the first
processes were well under way
and from that time on we have
carried out a program of demo-
bilization that is almost astound-
ing under circumstances of trans
portation and other difficulties
that had to be overcome.
There are at present approxi-
mately $50. 600 emergency troops
to be discharged. There are less
than 100. 600 men now in Europe
and under present plans there
will be less than $4,000 men in
France on September l. There
are already more than a hundred
thousand new enlistments and
about $1,000 new enlistments are
needed to bring the enlisted quo
ia of the army up to the author
lied 225, 900 strength.
Further figures on enlistments
in the regular army shows that
2l,671 of the men newly enlisted
have expressed their preferences
as regards places of service. Of
these l3, 754 have expressed a de-
sire to serve in Europe. Among
the branches of service prefer
ences given 80. 344 want to serve

was ratified in 1885. From thar
time until the Civil War is khowr
as the golden period of tht
States history.
The Constitution of 1880 has
been termed "a political expedi.
ent for the purpose of restoring

Beyond this the constitutional

best to,wait more settled times

careful; let us do more than is
absolutely necessary in ten

have drifted into half a century.
The urgent need for a new Con-
stitution should be fully explain
ed; tell the people the truth, the
whole truth. How can you ex-
pect them to trust you if you do
not trust them? They will nat
urally ask, why a new Con-
stitution?" They should be told
not in glittering generalities
with wealth of words and power

simple language. Such action
will demove all suspicion of ul-
terror motives. When this is
done they will support this move
ment for the uplift of the State.
A Constitution should be
framed for future as well as
present peeds. The consequent
ces of the actions of men often
live when the men themselves
are dead and forgotten. A Con-

Thrift A Great Factor In Re-
ducing High Cost Of Living.

In a statement just issued.
Silas W. Davis, Government
Director, Sixth Federal Reserve
District, War Loan Organization.
points out how thrift may be
made great factor in reducing
the cost of living.
The statement follows:
Reports indicate that steps
are being taken by public Off
cials everywhere to relieve the
American people from the press
ure and hardships of the present
high cost of living. These meas
ures may, or may not be produc-
tive of the desired results. but
the people themselves hold It
within their power to apply a
remedy that cannot fail.
The solution is found in the
simple word THRIFT.
Thrift means increased pro-
duction; decrease of waste; con-
servation of resources; care and
prudence in the management of
ones affairs; careful buying
and wise spending.
Let every individual, family.
business and association apply
these principles to the business
of living and the present high
levels of prices will be forced
downward. With an increase in
the supply of commodities of all
kinds and a decrease in the de-
mand. prices will automatically
decline.
Let's put our business and,
home back on a war. basis. The
appeal to the American house
keeper to save food" has been
to quickly forgotten. The sal
aried man and woman, and the
business men have gone back to
pre-war carelessness and extrav-
agences.
Buy only the foodstuff we
must have to sustain life in COM
fort. Use every ounce judicious-
ly. Throw nothing in the gar
bage can that could be used for
food. Cast aside no clothiug
that can be made over, repaired
and used longer. Spend only for
those things which are absolute
ly necessary. Eliminate. useless
expenditures. Give personal at
tention to the details of the
home and business. Put thought
and study into every purchase to.
get the greatest value for the
dollar spent.
There has been a tendency
since the armistice to lift the
pressure of production in many
lines. Let every producer strive
just as diligently now to turn
out raw products and manufac-
turers articles for peace purposes
as they did for war purposes.
Use every ounce of energy and
every minute of time in piling up
something on the supply side Of
the balance. 1t may seem like
a dull monotonous undertaking.
Monotony is more to be desired
than worry and suffering. And
in the end JOY and pleasure will
be found in the knowledge that
we are making life easier--get-
ting ahead in life
