:, Report of Grand Jury
Convened October z, 1919, and
in session for seven days. Have
investigated every form of viola
ton of the law from such wit
nesses as were brought before it.
We find that the county with
few exceptions, is law abiding,
and especially, note that the boot
leggers seem to have gone out of
business.
y The poor house and all county
property are in excellent condi-
ton, excepting the jail which we
find to be in a bad condition so far
as holding prisoners is concerned
and recommend that the Fiscal
Court have jail put in proper con-
rition, and that the Jailer take
more precaution to prevent the
escape of prisoners.
We find also that it is a common
practice of a great many mer-
chants both in the city and in the
county, keeping their places of
business open on Sunday and re-
commend that the next grand
jury investigate this practice in
view of indicting all who continue
the practice.
We find the road department of
the county doing the best possible
with the funds available and re-

FARMERS ORGANIZE
OBION COUNTY
JOINS MOVEMENT
Meeting Here Monday Attended b,
/ Big Crowd of Farmers.

The farmers of Obion County in
large numbers gathered at the court=
house in Union City last Monday
for the purpose of organization. The
court room was filled.
Meeting was called to order by
Judge S. r. Bratton and B. ]. Wade
was elected chairman with G. G.
Cloys as secretary. Purposes OF the
meeting we're briefly explained. In
fine. practically every other branch
of industry in the country, and every
profession for that matter, has its
organization. Self preser-
yation is one of the first principles,
especially with the trades, that is
the moving spirit. They are other
wise promoting measures OF ad-
vancement and progress. The far
mers have never been effectively or
ganized. Several attempts were
made. There have been the grangrs
and other movements in the past,
but most of them have been lost thru
the disloyalty of leaders who have
used the organization for political
purposes.
The committee appointed to report
a draft of the constitution and by
laws, was made up of one member
from each of the sixteen civil dis
tricts as follows:
No. l, Fred Hubbs; 2, J. B. Alex
ander; 8, Geo. Donnell; 4, Walter
Warren; s, c. C. Marshall; 6, Dick
Andrews; z, DIR. G. c. Maddox; 8,
w. d. Flack; 8, F. j. Bradshaw; 10,
Luke Latimer; IL, ]. B. Skinner; IL,
Walter Hutchinson; 13, s. r. Brat
ton; IA, Kirk Wells; Is, d. A. Dean;
16, J. M. Chambers. The president
and secretary are included in this
committee.
Now, in the present crises of in
dustrial unrest, there is greater ne
cessity for self protection, and the
farmers are awakening to their in
dustrial conditions. Some seventy
or eighty thousand farmers in New
York State are organized, forty thous-
and in Pennsylvania and numbers in
other States The movement is grow
ing.
1t has been said that the farmers
of the country could by united effort
hold the reigns of power. That is true,
no doubt, but this is not the purpose
of the present organization. The
farmers have been ignored practi-
cally in legislation, in representation
and in almest every other public

A patriotic Scotchman was present
at a meeting at which the eminent
Shakespearian scholar dwelt on the
glories of his favorite author. At the
close the Scot approached the lec-
turcr, and said:

ply"
"An' we think he was mair clever
than Rabbie Burns?"

UNIVERSAL TRAINING
AN ARMY OF NOT
MORE THAN 100000
Urges Special Attention be Paid to
Air Service.

Washington, Oct.31-Gen. Perish
ing to-day declared for universal mill
tary training.
Universal training brings many
benefits, and such benefits should be
universally extended to all OF our
young men," he said.
Pershing appeared before joint
meeting of the House and Senate
Military Affairs Committee to out
line his views on the permanent
military policy of the United States
The program, Gen. Pershing de-
clared, should include:
1. A. permanent military estab'
lishment large enough to provide
against sudden attack.
2. A small force sufficient for ex-
! peditionary purposes to meet our in
ternational purposes, particularly or
the American continent.
3. Forces sufficient to cope witt
any international disturbances.
4. A trained citizen reserve or
ganized to meet the emergency o.
war.
A standing army of 275,0O0 t.
$500, 900 would be ample for th'
peace time needs of the United
States, Gen. Pershing declared.
Outlines Benefits.
Outlining the benefits which n
believed would result from the adop
tion of universal military training
Gen. Pershing included:
Development of physical vigor ant
manhood, development of mentality
decrease of illiteracy, teaching o
discipline and respect for constitut
ed authority, develop ment of initia
tive and better preparation for tn
duties of citizenship. This last bene
I fit, Gen. Pershing said, is especiall.
needed among aliens in America.
If America had not been unpre
pared our rights would not nav
been violated, Gen. Pershing said
He added that this country's sue
cess in the war was due to the unit
ed determination of the people rath
er than to any forethought in pre-
paredness.
| 1.-THE war has pleaced this coun
try in a new light" Gen. Pershin,
said. ''It is no longer measured b!
wealth, its population, nor by ou
form of government, but by our pur
poses to maintain high ideals"
The chief of the A.E F.. recon
mended that the broad powers o
army reorganization allowed the pre-
sident during war time be contin

or political activity. His vocational
interests have also been neglected.
Without the farmer no nation, and
no people can live. He feeds the
world. and as friend G. w. Stovail
said at the meeting Monday: when
an appeal was made to the farmer in
the late war to feed the world he
Immediately put his shoulder to the
wheel and accomplished the task;
when he was asked to furnish the
fighting strength he put tho men in
to the field and won victory, before
the entente allies were even ready
for 1t, and when he was called upon
to furnish the money he took the
bonds and subscribed to the war
funds.
Now the farmer is asking the gov
ernment for public recognition. He
is asking also some questions that
NAV cause combinations which have
taken advantage of their confidence
some uneasiness, but he is asking
nothing but his natural right.
Some of the questions are as fol-
lows:
Why does the farmer have to buy
all his raw materials at retail prices
and sell his finished products al
wholesale prices?
Why does the farmer have to beal
the whole brunt of market fuctua
tions?
Why does the farmer have no voice
in the legislative affairs Of his coun
try?
Why does the farmer always have
to be the GOAT?
An answer to these questions Il
because the farmer has not been or
ganiZed.
But he can organize and is organ
izing.

some of the reasons for organization

ued in peace This is in accord with
the view of the general staff.
"Such powers are necessary in
time of war" he said, "and would
be wise in times of peace with the
limitation that the president could
not establish or discontinue bureaus. :"
The number of general staff Off
GERS provided for in the army bill
is excessive, he said.
Urges Attention to Aviation.
He predicted great future for
the air service, and said France,
Great Britain and Italy were laying
stress on this phase of the army He
declared the United States would
make a very great mistake in al
lowing aircraft department to fall
behind.
Gen. Pershing's figures for the
strength of the army is about half
that recommended by Secretary OF
War Baker and Gen. March, chief
Of staff.
Gen. Pershing praised the work
of the army nurses and said that
"in recognition of their splendid
services the women should be CIV
en- rank as high as second lieuten-
ant.
Gen. Pershing criticized the work
of the general staff during the war
and said that previous to the wal
the staff never functioned.
"The fact that the general stan
did not come up to expectations was
due to the fact that the nation had
no experienced staff men," he said.
MANY oft he criticisms aimed al
the general staff are well founded
but this is explained by the fact
that many things were attempted by
the general staff, which should have
been handled by other departments.
"Bands played prominent par

clared. He urged the committee t

PAY YOUR DEBTS

On New Years eve the cost Of the
war to the United States stood at s22,,
00O, 100000. Practically all of this
money had been raised by taxation
and by the Liberty loans. The entire
amount which had come into the
Treasury up to that time for war pur.
poses had either been spent or had
been ear-marked for specific bills.
Since the middle of November wher
the armistice was signed the govern
ment has been borrowing at the rate
of $6OO,00000O every two weeks to
meet its war obligations. At this rate
it will have obtained from the banks
of the nation from four to Ave billions
of dollars before the beginning of the
fifth Liberty Loan April 81.
The people of the United States,
through their representatives in Con-
gress, voted for the expenditures which
made necessary the borrowing of these
huge sums The government in antiei-
patton of patriotic support from the
country in raising tine Victory Liberty
Loan has already paid the bills. In
all justice and honesty the people Of
the United States will not fail their
government and will finish the job by
oversubscribing the last popular war
loan by an even larger percentage
than they did the four which have
gone before.
