in size and weight, but in other

for the baking, as on account of
the size, we had to bake each layer
in sections. These forms are in the
shape of a huge wedge. the bottom
layer being baked in % sections,
the second layer in IA sections, and
the third and fourth layers in two
sections each.
'The two bottom layers are fruit
cake, the two top ones are loaf cake,
the whole being covered with white
icing and finished with an appro-
pirate ornament and candle for
each year of the stores existence.
Just to give the public an idea
of the size of this cake" said Mr. La
Shelle, Let me state that it will
weigh between l400 and 1900
pounds. There has been used in
the making of it 100 dozen of eggs,
500 pounds of sugar, 1872 pounds of
butter, 400 pounds of flour. In ad-
ditiOn, 376 pounds of raisins, 261s
pounds of citrOn, 43 quarts of milk,
6 pounds of spices and 3 pounds of
baking powder were needed, as
well as gallons OF molasses.

THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE.

The old Memphis Conference
Female Institute which has served
West Tennessee and Kentucky 80
successfully in it's line of work for
seventy-six years, has given way to
the Woman's College.
The plans of the Methodist
Church, to whom this school be-
longs, is to raise it's standard to
that of an A Grade Woman's Col
lege. It will then have field all
its own, for there is not an A grade
woman's college in all this territory
embracing at least fifty thousand
square miles.
Plans have been laid for two
new dormitories to be erected on
the new site overlooking the city
of Jackson. The old buildings
will be repaired for the present
year, as it will be impossible to
get into the new building before
next summer.
The old buildings will accommo-
date only one hundred girls. When
school closed the 10th of May half
of the rooms had already been
taken.
Beginning with the seventh
grade, the college offers four years
high school and three of college.
1t has one of the best conservato-
ries of the South, offering all the
different branches of music, ex-
preston and art at much lower
rate than is to be obtained else
where.

or that there is any platform writ
ten for men of reform other than
the platform written in the utter
ances of our Lord and Savior"
The memories of these and other
great men gather about us and
plead with us to be Americans, as
Americans to be loyal to the Con-
stitution of the United States and
as citizens to be just in in our
dealings with one another. They
teach US that industry and thrift
are necessary in free land, and
that security of property and of
the fruits of toll are essential to
liberty.
Such, in brief, are some of the
principles that have made Ameri-
ca as great as she is free. These
principles are in danger today, just
as they were in the days when oul
forefathers struggled and fought
to establish them.
Is it not fitting that each of ui
on this Independence Day renew
our loyal allegiance to our country
it's institutions and its laws?

AMERICAN RED CROSS.

In connection with the action of

Ameican Red Cross girls have,

service in maintaining the morale

ADDRESS BY
THE PRESIDENT


dent Wilson in an address to the
American people on the occasion
of the signing of the peace treaty
made a plea for the acceptance of
the treaty and the covenant of the
League of Nation without change
or reservation. His message, CIV
en- out here by Secretary Tumulty,
said:
"My Fellow Countrymen-The
treaty of peace has been signed.
If it is ratified and acted upon in
full and sincere execution OF it's
terms, it will furnish the charter
for new order of affairs in the
world. 1t is a severe treaty in the
duties and penalties it imposes up
on Germany, but it is severe only
because great wrongs done by
Germany are to be righted and
repaired; it imposes nothing that
Germany can not do-and she can
regain her rightfnl standing in the.
world by the prompl and honor
able fulfillment of it terms.
"And it is much more than a.
treaty of peace with Germany. 1t
liberates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the
way to liberty. 1t ends, once for
all, an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of selfish
men could use the peoples of great
empires to serve their ambition.
for power and dominion. It asso-
ciates the free governments of the
world in permanent league in
which they are pledged to use their
united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and justice.
"It makes international law
reality supported by imperative
sanctions. 1t does away with the
right of conquest and rejects the
policy of annexation and substi-
tutes a new order under which
backward nations - populations
which have not yet come to politi-
cal consciousness and peoples who
are ready for independence, but
not yet quite prepared to dispense
with protection and guidance
shall no more be subjected to the
domination and exploitation of a
stronger nation, but shall be put
under the friendly direction and
afforded the helpful assistance of
governments which undertake to
be responsible to the opinion of
mankind in the execution of their
task by accepting the direction of
the League of Nations.
"It recognizes the inalienable
rights of nationality; the rights of
the rights of minorites and the
sanctity of religious belief and
practice. 1t lays the basis for
conventions which shall free the
commercial intercourse of the
world from unjust and vexatious
restrictions aud for every sort of
international cooperation that will
serve to cleanse the life of the
world and facilitate it's common
action in bene6cient service of
every kind. 1t furnishes guaran-
tees such as never were given nor
ever contemplated for the fair
treatment of all who labor at the
daily tasks of the world.
"It is for this reason that have
spoken of it as a great charter for
new order of affairs. There is
ground here for deep satisfaction,
universal reinsurance end conf
dent hope.

NOV EMENT FOR
GOOD ROADS

Pursuant to call of the County
Highway Committee, citizens
meeting was held at the court
house Saturday and permanent
county organization perfected. A.
l.. Hassell was made chairman of
the meeting and j. w. Byrd secre-
tary,
Hon. r. l.. Stockard of Nash
vile, secretary of the State High
way Commission, was present and
explained the plan of Federal and
State aid to road building. Others
present engaged in the speaking,
all favorable to good roads.
The unanimous sentiment of the
meeting was favorable to taking
some definite action to better the
condition of our highways. On
motion, committees on permanent
organization and resolutions were
appointed in order to bring the
matter before Quarterly Court
which meets in Camden July 7.
The committee on resolutions
was composed of r. A. Swindell,
r. G. Shultz, S. L. Peeler, Lind
sey Melton and G. G. Hollings-
worth. The following resolutions
were submitted and adopted:
"To the Honorable Justices of
the Quarterly Court-We citizens
of Benton County assembled in
mass convention at Camden, Tenn, ,,
pursuant to call of a committee
selected by the State Highway
Commission, for the purpose of
discussing the means and methods
for raising necessary funds for
the construction of a system of
highways reaching into and
through each and every community
in the county and for the purpose
Of cooperating with the State and
Federal Government in the con-
struction of Federal roads, submit
the following:
Whereas, the present status of
cur public roads are such that the
loss to- the general public by
reason of extra burdens ia trans
portations are enormously in ex-
cess of the necessary expenditure
to put them into good continuous
usable condition that our churches
and schools are correspondingly
hindered and hendicappedin their
efforts towards the accomplish
ment of good; that the best of
amicable feelings or relations of
the various communities are re-
tarded by reason of these con-
ditions; and.
"Whereas, by acts of the United
States Congress and of the Legis-
lature of the State of Tennessee
provisions are made for coopera-
tive road building on terms of one
third the expense to be met by the
counties and two-thirds by the
State and Federal governments, to
be maintained by the Government; !;
and
"Whereas, the Quarterly Courts
are empowered and have the au-
thority to provide funds to meet
these expenditures on such high
ways as are acceptable to and
adopted by the State Highway
Commission.
"Therefore, be it resolved, that
we earnestly urge the Quarterly
Court at it's incoming July term to
take such action as is necessary
for the county to place at the dis
postal of the Government an
amount sufficient to pay Benton
County's one-third part of the
cost of the Memphis-to-Bri
Highway and so appropriated as
will draw least heavily on the
county's resources.

THE DAY WE
CELEBRATE

The Fourth OF July is above all
other days an occasion for every
one of us, of whatever birth and
whatever station in life, to take
stock of our Americanism and of
the advantages that we enjoy as
citizens of the United States.
Our country is one hundred and
forty-three years old today. When
the white man came to America
he found an unbroken wilderness
from which a few savages drew
scanty living; now within her bor-
ders dwell over one hundred mill
lion people with standard of liv-
ing unequaled anywhere else in
| the world.
Orderly government and indus
try have made the difference. De-
stroy these and America would
quickly sink back to a primitive
condition wholly incapable of sup
porting our present population.
We can not fully measure our
debt to our country, but we can
gain a clearer sense of our obiiga-
tion from the words of those who
have been most conspicuous in
their devotion to her advancement.
The first name that comes to our
minds is that of George Washing
ton, the Father of his country"
He speaks to each of us when he
says:
"Citizens by birth or choice of a
common country, that country has
right to concentrate your affec-
tions. The name of American,
which belongs to you, in your ma
tianal capacity, must always exalt
the just pride of patriotism
Inspired by Washingtons exam
pie, the great French patriot, the
Marquis de Lafay hastened to
America to aid in her struggle for
independence. Looking back on
that day he wrote;
"From the moment I first heard
the name of America, | loved her;
from the moment that [ learned of
her struggle for liberty, I was in
famed with the desire of shedding
my blood in her cause
The work of that great patriot,
Thomas Jefferson, who realized
that people can not long retain
their liberty without a system of
government and law, and who did
so much to establish the strongest
government that the world has
|
ever seen, inspire us to loyalty TO
the Constitution of the United
States and makes it impossible for
the man of pious reflection not TO
perceive in it a finger of that AL
mighty hand which has been so
frequently and signally extended
to our relief.
Abraham Lincoln still inspires
us with the truest lessons of life.
The life of Benjamin Franklin no
less than his words emphasizes the
truth that industry, thrift and
honesty are necessary to maintain
freedom. Daniel Webster fully
realized that Constitutional gov-
ernment can not be preserved and
safeguarded without the continued
devotion of its citizens.
How true to the American spirit
are the words of Roosevelt: II
pity no man because he has to
work. If he is worth his salt, he
will work. | envy the man who
has work worth doing and does
it WE'LL"
And permeating the entire fab
ric of our Constitution, that price
less inheritance from our patriotic
forefathers, is the emphatic words
of that matchless statesman and
eminent American, Woodrow Will
