LET'S GET IT OVER

Our minds have swung out of the channels of war
into the channels of peace The problems of peace that
grapple now are great indeed.
So why continue to pay for the maintenance of pat
riotic activities such as the Red Cross the Knights of
Columbus, the Y. M. c. A., the Salvation Army, the
Jewish Welfare Board?
The Germans have quit. The soldiers returning.
We trying to get houses in order for peace
full pursuits.
Yes, why bother any longer with the maintenance
OF these patriotic activities?
BECAUSE MOST OF THE SOLDIERS HAVE NOT
RETURNED. They need the same services abroad they
needed before They greater need than before of
Red Cross Comforts Y. M. c. A. and K. of c. Huts,
Salvation Army doughnuts the mnisrations of the
Jewish Welfare Board They like you, anxious to
readjust themselves only they homesick abroad and
still in the army, while you home. Picture your
mental discomfort Put yourselves in their places and
ask yourselves if they do not need your help.

WAR AGENCIES NOT ENOUGH

The great war organizations not done. They
still ask for money to minister the soldiers. The
who have been directing the collections of funds
county for the maintenance of these war organza-
tions have their eyes The situation and they will be
the first to inform you when your payments are no
longer needed.
BUT YOUR OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT ONLY TO
THE SOLDIERS. DO YOU KNOW THAT THE
RED TRAIL OF WAR HAS LEFT ALMOST 4,OoO,-
600 HALF STARVED, NEARLY NAKED REFU-
GEES IN WESTERN ASIA AND EASTERN
EUROPE, CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTS,
MOTHERS DEAD FROM ABUSE, FATHERS TORN
AND DISTORTED WITH TORTURE?
America has pledged $3oooO0OO to help them out
1t pledged $4,000, 900 because America, confronted
with such suffering, could do no less What are your
troubles compared to the cruelty driven Armenians?
Your payment is needed NOW for them The greatest
power Of al, the power of life and death, is in your
keeping.
And that is not ALL There are the families of many
Of those homesick soldiers overseas. The Home Ser.
vice work of the Red Cross deals with them. To keep
these families healthy, well fed comfortable and happy

ROAD MEN
ATTENTION

Ehe time here when district road commissioners
mad overseers and all citizens subject to- road duty are ex
eted to get busy their roads This notice published
warning that unless these attend to their duties all
me penalties provided in the statutes viii be exacted
The present has been an unfortunate one both
r road work and farm work and practically all road
odcias farmers the County highway Commission has
I'd been inclined upo-date to insist on the neglect of
Em duties in favor of road work. However the Commits
sDn believes crops in fit condition to justify this
warning that unless required road work done between
August LIST and September LIST warrants will be sworn
against those derect in their duty and their names present
ed to the grand jury.
In view of the fact that there is new road law apply
this year there may he confusion in the public mind
rs to the duties of officials and citizens subject road
Thenew law put the direction of road building in the
lands of Highway Commission of three to be elected by
The County Court This commission granted powers
formerly exercised by the court and in instances in
creased powers but subject to the general control of the
sor However many features of the old road laws were
incorporated in the and among the old features retain
ID in the provision for the labor of all citizens be-
tween certain ages not physically mentally disabled
Ter the direction of road overseers and district commission
This provision for universal road work in the public
interest as vital and compelling under the law
Ter the old
Il would be regarded glad privilege and not
ous public duty if human nature attuned to that ideal
cOncepton of service which makes all men delight in pro-
noting the public welfare
This law provides alternative for labor that cit
may pay off their road time before certain date and
hs money must be used for building roads in the district
where collected under the direction Of the district commits
nOners.
Many district commissioners AM overseers complain
shs their hands have paid off their time and they have
ahor with which to work In most this not true
bait at any rate this fact be avoided that they either
have the labor the money the hands of the Trustee and
the law directs them to take this money and hire TIE work
Done Beginning August 1st be accepted for
noncompliance with this plain duty.
The County Highway Commission wishes also to take
his opportunity to render partial reporto the public on
what has already been DONE The date has been
disappointing to the Commission to the public How
believe the condition of roads and bridges this
to be DUE for most part to agencies beyond all hum
control The Commission has centralized authority and
responsibility which of the objects of the law
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-07-25

So much briefly for the roads What has been done
about bridge building and levee work?
Over $50 bridges large and SMALL were wiped out by
the March flood and many displaced With the ald
of the magistrates in each district something like half of
these have been replaced with permanent or makeshit
structures and the remain to be built The lack OF la
Dor and material has been the great handicap here ms
and excessive prices asked by contractors implied the Com
mission to establish five bridge under salary These
crews four of which just beginning operation consist
of foreman two negro hands and team and wagon The
first proved great saving the contract method
in doing the work for half the contract price
However these crews will not be able to do all the
evee and bridge replacement work necessary before we en-
ter another winter and in next weeks Falcon will be pub
lshed list of bridges and evees which the commission
will cooperate with the District Commissioners in receiving
bids for this work. On date be announced next week
in the Falcon the Commission plans to be in daily session
between the hours of and P NJ at the Court House to
receive bids for this work and let contracts The Commits
sion would like the attendance and counsel of all mags
traes interested in any such work in their districts
In conclusion we wish to reterate that all road officials
must now get busy face the consequences The following
paragraphs from the road law called to their attention
Sec O. Be it further enacted, That district commits
soners shall appoint for term of year for
u
County Court and that this compensation shall not exceed
$500 per day for hours each for actual time while
gagged in necessary work. said compensation is to be paid

counties of the State shall have nqusora power nves

bat it's members are not omnpoten They have no juris
dcton the elements of nature Eros Jupiter Puvius
ETC. who send wind and water calamity and disaster
erng world They not responsible for the March flood
which destroyed bridges evees and roads ndscrmnatey
Neither should they be blamed for the subsequent of
dampnes which retarded road work for nearly months
and partly ruined what had already been DONE This not
said in sarcastic humor but for the benefit Of those whose
complaints imply that the Legislature should have endowed
the Commission with some of the powers of Providence
Now that being understood what has been accomplish
ed?
In the beginning the Commission believed that to get
roads and bridges built economically it would be necessary
provide power units large enough pull heavy machinery
under full load day after day. The con had formerly
tried mule teams and found them expensive and liable to
default under heavy and sustained service The general
experience of the country demons ang that tractor
power most efcnt and economical. However prev
ious experience with tractor in this county had been dis
appointing yet the Commission believed due to the
of the wrong kind of tractor and did contovert the
generally accepted opinion that tractor power efficient
anymore than lame balky mule would argue against
mule power in general as an economic asset
So it decided to buy three light weight tractors of
25 horse power The Commission realized that three rac
tors would not handle all the roads in the county but
unwilling to commit the county to too large expend
iture untried experiment
DSCrlctS s. ana 10 wanted contractors so DdS were
asked in these districts No bids received from Dis
trics and g. A bid from District rejected
cessve and in Is contract awarded to Mr. Bishop to
do certain work provided for in tractor route through
that district
Tractor were laid out main roads covering
many districts and comprising about 306 miles roads The
remainder of the roads be worked by the
system and If the tractors proved successful it plan
ned equip the county with enough outfits next year to
work all the roads that way This then, the program
for the years work.
So far approximately S9 miles of the 30s in the tractor
have been built in spite the fact that the month
of May and half June total loss for roadwork 1t is
safe to assert that the three tractors viii than
pee the program laid out for them before the end of the
season and in the late fall and winter will keep these roads
dragged and in good condition But aside from this tractor
work little else be DONE except in two districts
the road commssonersand have laid down
the Job and it is now up to them to get busy.

Mr. FigS, who has been in close
touch with producers OF wearing APP
parcl. announced today that at their
suggestion :, conference will be held
next month, which will undertake to
devise means for checking the in
crease in clothing prices. One OF the
most important steps TO be considered
will be the production and marketing
Of a certain fixed amount of standard,
medium price goods. as an incentive
10 the public TO abandon the era of
extravaganza which has followed war
prosperity.
Mr.. Palmer said today he could not
predict the Immediate effect on prices
Of the settlement OF the antitrust ac-
tion against the packers.
The big effect Of the agreed de-
crees, he said, "is TO open the channels
OF business freely TO all men without
fear of domination by these interests"
The court III which the agreed decree
will be entered will not be announced
until the decree is filed, which will
be after holidays.
Announcement was made today by
the Southern Wholesale GrOccrs' asso-
