Special Term Of Legislature
To Be Call e d Soon.

For the purpose of enacting
legislation that will reach the
profteer and help to reduce the
high cost of living in order to
settle the unrest that is now pre-
vailing, an extra session of the
legislature will probably be
called by Governor Roberts with
/ il a very short time. This an
Inoupcement was made by the
chief executive at the meeting
held at the capitol in Nashville
Saturday for the purpose of TAX
ing action that will in some
manner help to relieve the situa-
tion.
He also intimated the special
session would be almost inevita-
bic should a general strike be
called or the coal miners go out
on a strike on the first of next
month as, has been announced.
This will also have as one of its
chief.aims the relieving of the
serious condition now facing the
farmers on account of the sud
den decline in live stock prices
without the prices of foodstuffs
on which stock are fed dropping
in proportion.
Governor Roberts, in making
his announcement said: Il have
been seriously considering a
special session of the legislature
FOR the past few weeks. Natur-
ally, ! am opposed to special
sessions on account of the great
cost to the state, but conditions
conditions have reached a point
where something must be done
and done quickly to meet exist
ing conditions.
Even though | am op-
posed to special session of the
legislature, | would not hesitate
to call one if | can see that by so
doing we can pass legislation
that will relieve the existing
spirit of unrest. The question
of the great drop in live stock
that has just been discussed is
but an illustration.
when the farmer is forced
to sell his live stock at great sac
rifices, causing him financial loss
of such sums as you have just
heard, then it is time to act and
| will act if necessary, in order
to save the farmer and the con-
sumer from the prices that are
beyond all questions. Such is
my feeling, and | announce to
you now and ask the press to
to take notice of the fact, that |
shall confer with representative
men Of every profession, the
legal, the attorneys-general, the
farmer and all and then, if we
find that we can enact 1egisla-
ton that will save our people
from the profteer, then | shall
not hesitate to call the extra
session. E"

Red Cross To Enroll Dollar
Members November I'll.

washington, Oct. ~. (Special
to the Sentinel. In an official
announcement of the purposes
of the national campaign of the
American Red Cross to enroll
dollar members from November
2 to II, DR.. Livingston Farrand,
chairman Of the Central Com
mittee of the organization, today
said:
THE Red Cross comes before
the American people with a call
for a large and widely distribu-
ted membership, which shall
give to its peace program the
spirit and effectiveness which
made its accomplishment in the
war astonishing to Europe and
a source of satisfaction to al
patrlotlc Americans.
"The emergencies of war cre-
ated demands which could only
be met with great sums of mon-
ey and these were furnished by
the people with unexampled
generosity. The peace program
to which the Red Cross has set
its hand calls for no such finan-
cial outlay, but does involve con-
tinuous cooperative service which
shall reach into every corner of
the country.
For this reason, in the cam
paign set for November 2 to II,
inclusive, the Red Cross is stres-
sing not money but personal en-
listment. What is necessary to
accomplish the important tasks
of peace is the member with his
dollar and his heart and his SER
vice.
1.-The Red Cross proposes MOTH
ing less than the mobilization of
the American people in a united,
constructive effort to eliminate
preventable disease and unnec-
essary misery from American
life. 1t calls upon the American
citizen to translate his patriot
ism into action and service.
"The gravity of the problem
of nurturing the nations vitality
is brought home to US by official
figures of the War Department
which show that 35 per cent of
the young men examined for the
army during the great war were
physically disqualified for militia
ry service. 1t is illustrated in
another striking way. We learn
from the same official source
that there were 1l2, 422 in our
army from all causes throughout
the Fl months of American par
ticipation in the war. Of these
56,99l were from disease. And
yet in our homeland, where six
ty per cent of the population live
in what may be called rural dis
tricts, we have an annual death
toll of approximately 235.000
babies under one year of age.
From tuberculosis, a preventa,
BILE disease, about 10000 are
known to die annually in regis
tration areas. Typhoid still has
a yearly toll of probably 5000
lives. while diptheria, despite
antitoxin, carries off about the
same number of children annu-
ally.
IF the care devoted to the
health of our army were given
to the physical welfare of our
people at home. we are confident
these tremendous and really
shameful losses of life from pre-
ventable causes would be greatly
. reduced. From the days of the
Japanese-Russian war. when it
was clearly demonstrated that
! heavy army mortality from dis
sease is unnecessary. the world
| of science has rapidly progressed
to the point of realizing it must
) adopt energetic methods to pre-
serve the health of the world.
Furthermore, we have been made
