not. Read his proclamation:

les doing business In Tennessee have
voluntarily ought the aid OF the State
government to reduce the fire losses
of the State and assumed the burden
of the department of Fire Prevention;
and
Whereas, this department is actively
engaged in campaign Of education in
which it is necessary to enlist the en-
tire business public,

pie to observe Thursday, October 3,

WE ASK NO ODDS.

In the Chattanooga News we
find the following::4
According to Senator Shields
letter to Mr.. Hoggard. he is not
merely>a reservationist, he is OPP
posed to the league of nations in
any form. He doesn't think our
government ought to enter into
any close international relation
ships with other countries. We
are big enough and strong enough
to defend ourselver, he indicates.
Then uhy concern ourselves with
the affairs of the world? The
senator is as extreme in his posi-
ton as Senator Borah and Sena
tor Knox. Judging from this
letter he will be found in opposi.
ton to the treaty, no matter il
it is amended. At least the SEN
ator is frank. Believing as he
does, we do not see how he could
support the treaty.
We are delighted that Senator
Shields has brain big enough to
see the condition into which the
American nation is being driven
and has courage enough to resist.
We are big enough and strong

A BIG BUSINESS DEAL
The Oldland Company Buys
the Hugus Interests
In Meeker

The announcement last Monday
morning that the Oldland Company
and allied interests had bought the
Hugus interests In Meeker, created
something Of . sensation.
The transaction carries with 1t the
finely appointed Hugus store bust-
ness, the Bank of Meeker, the Meek
or Flour mill and the large and we'll
constructed Hugus Block.
People asked why did the Hugus
company sell out? The answer 10
simple James A. Rendle, who sue
ceeded the late J. g. Davis ~ presi-
dent and general manager Of the
Hugus company, has wished to re-
tire for the past two years, In order
to give his entire time to his own ex-
tensive business. None Of the other
big men Of the company cared to a.
sumo the responsibilities and hard
work of the job; 50 1t was resolved
to close out the company business -
fast as opportunity presented. The
store and bank at Craig, and store 1t
Axial, were disposed OF some time
ago. A good and growing business
was being carried on at all points:
What induced Oldlands to acquire
the extensive Hugus plant at Meek
err? Not q desire to monopolIze the
mercantile and banking business In
Rio Blanco county, but . desire to
posses one Of the largest end finest
store buildings In state.
The Oldland business has outgrOwn
their present cramped and out-of-
date quarters. It was either build
at the present very high prices for
material and labor or acquire the
Hugus property. The latter oppor-
tunity was embraced as the best BUSH
ness proposition.
The Oldlands expect and invite
Legitimate competition.
Good Luck to all concerned.

In one convoy were three women
with hands tied behind their backs
linked to half-starved, white-faced
boys and men who had been captured.
Some Of the prisoners walked about
proud and defiant but many who
seemed TO expect to be shot rs soon
