472,7l6 MEN IN
STATE REGISTER

Tennessee offered the government
472,716 men for service on the fight
ing line in the world war, according
to a statement by Maj. Rutledge
Smith, chairman Of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense.
Major Smith said the record Of
each registrant in the state is made
so nearly complete that when the
papers are finally forwarded to
Washington there will not be sin
gle registrant whose entire military
record will not be correct.
eve expect to complete the work
of the selective service within a
month or So" said Major Smith,
eve are following a specific pro-
gram outlined by the war department
and every state is taking the same
step daily; therefore we will all get
through at the same time.
"The matter now engaging our
attention is the completion of the
records now in the hands of the To-
cal boards. When this is done they
will be forwarded to the war de-
partment as part of its permanent
files. We have already largely de-
modified our force. Out of 124 SOL
diers Immediately under me, all have
been mustered. out but 20, and these
will be used for the purpose of fin
ishing the work. When all outstand-
ing bills are paid, the office equip
ment will be sold, the organization
disbanded and we will go home"
Major Smith says it is his purpose
to prevent possibility of injustice
being done any registrant, and every
deserter should be turned over to
the department Of justice for proper
attention.

DEATH FOLLOWS
LONG ILLNESS

Hyndsver, Jan. 13.-Mrs. Ora, be-
loved young wife of Mr.. Walter Da-
Wis, died at the family residence near
Hyndsver, on Thursday morning OF
last week. Mrs. Davis, most esti-
mable christian woman, suffered long
from lung trouble. She was one of
the most highly esteemed young
women in the community, and the
sympathy of many friends goes out
to the bereaved husband and only
child. Mrs. Davis was the daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Campbell.
She is survived by three brothers
Messrs. Ulysses, Burton and Otha
Campbell. The body was tenderly
laid to rest Friday at Bible Union,
services by her pastor, Rev. A. A..
Jones.
Ester, son of John White, near the
camp ground, fell a few days ago,
while skating on the ice and broke
his right arm.
Gradually, though slowly, our sol
der boys are returning home. They
all receive cordial welcome, and
those who did not get the oppor-
tunity to go over the top are just as
much heroes as those who did. Re-
Gently those coming in are Carl Da
Wis, son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Da-
Wis, and Johnnie Harris, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Harris. They were
stationed at Camp Gordon. Boys,
we bid you welcome.

CIRCULATION IN
EVERY COMMUNITY

The weekly Honor Rolls published
in the Enterprise show that the En-
terprise enjoys an extensive circu-
lation in every community of the
county. In the vicinity of EVERY
town in the county the Enterprise
has circulation covering that COM
munity as no other paper does,
This large, countrywide circula.
ton proves that the Enterprise Is
the medium to which the citizens Of
this county look for reliable news.
1t proves that the Enterprise is the
progressive newspaper of this coun.
ty, advocating and promoting those
things which make for the good
of the whole county.
The merchants and business men
of all the towns of the county use
this paper as an advertising medium
because it has the circulation and be-
cause it's rate is the cheapest. Last
year when Al Gardner bought big
stock at Sharon and wanted to close
it out quick, he chose the Enter
prise as a medium to draw people
to Sharon to trade. Through this
advertising they flocked to Sharon
they bought goods by the wagon and
automobile load; they went there
from ALL sections of the county
they had got the news of the big
sale through the Enterprise. What
Gardner did at Sharon any other
dealer there can do by using the
right kind of advertising placed in
the medium having the drawing
power-the CIRCULATION. And
we guarantee our rate to be the low
est offered the advertiser in the
county.
Below we give our new and re-
newal subscribers for the past week

Trunk HIGHWAYS
Federal AID in Road Construction Expected
bMake New Common carrier Essential
Factor Of Transportation.

The initial effort in comprehen-
sive scheme to motorize trunk high
ways in this section of the South is
expected to be launched next month
at meeting of the Jefferson Davis
Highway Association, when plans for
hard surfacing the highway its en-
tire length will be concluded. At
this meeting it is confidently expec-
ted, government sanction of motor
truck mail service north and south
will be officially announced.
In a letter to Jas. |. Blakeslee
fourth assistant postmaster general
inviting a representative Of the post
office department to address the con-
vention, L. G. Norvell, of Newbern
president of the jefferson Davis
Highway Association says:
81 am sure there is no course
throuhg the South over which more
population per mile would be served
than over this highway, of which
am confident you will be convinced
after investigating.
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1919-01-17

"Also it occurs to me that another
meritorious claim this route has for
one of the motor truck lines lies in
the fact that much of the mail SER
vice, as am informed, between the
big Northern and Southern cities,
goes over the Illinois Central rail-
road, and the jefferson Davis High
way closely parallels the railroad
over much of its course. No doubt
motor truck route over the Jeffer-
son Davis Highway would interme-
diately relieve some of the heavy
mail service done over the Illinois
Central"
There would be really nothing
startling in the announcement If
the government were to make public
at once plans for immediate install
lation of motor truch mail service
along the east bank of the Missis-
sippi. So far as the public is con-
cerned the difference it would notice
in the improved service would be
scarcely appreciate. But as an in
dex of future expansion of the ma
tion's Transportation facilities the
innovation would carry tremendous
possibilities.
The war has taught America in
Vulnerable things-the value OF ma
tional unity, thrift, the folly of vast
fitness, necessity for closer and more
friendly cooperation between capt.
tai and labor-but above all it taught
a lesson in a field in which Amerl-
cans had always supposed they were
leaders, transportation. 1t was IN
conceivable to think that the econom.
ic lesson behind maintenance of and
operation over the marvellous high
ways of Europe should not have an
after-war influence on this coun-
try, and that the government has
recognized the commercial value OF
roadways in their potetial POSSIBLE
ties as feeders from rural districts
to river and rail transportation sys-
TENS is evidenced in the action OF
congress through the appropriation
of one billion dollars for highway
improvement.
In short it is the governments pur-
pose to make the highways espec-
tally the transcontinental routes, a
permanent, efficient means Of trans
portation in times of both peace and
war-highways available as freight
routes first, passenger routes next.

Bankers estimate there still are in
Iowa thousands of owners of Liber-

owes money. In other words there
are a lot of people who have not yet
clipped the interest coupons off
their bonds and cashed them. They
let the bonds lie untouched with
interest money due, although if a
neighbor owed them s2.12, due on a
certain date, they would be after it

ers are turning their coupons into

THE INCOME TAX CURE ON PROF
ITEERING.

d
BRYAN did not win the Presidency
but nearly all Of the reforms for which
he contended have won and are now
the law Of the land. Government in
stead OF Wall Street control of the
country's money, and an income tax

Mr.. Bryan stood.
ss The great war loans could not have
been financed in the interest of the
people. II at all, had it not been for

income tax statute probably rendered
the best service during the war Of any
Of the Bryan reform measures.
AS rule, war times are harvest
times for Big Business that is engag.
ed in the manufacture Of army sup
plies. It is asserted, by those who
are well informed, that no self-goyern-
ing people ever before so efficiently
curbed the profiteers, as the people
81 this country curbed them during
4 the recen: great. struggle; and, for
this record breaking accomplishment
it must be admitted that credit is
chiefly due to our income tax law,
Under that law the government was
able to place its financial burdens
largely upon wealth, and to bestow
upon laborers and producers the ben
eits accruing from the inevitable in
crease in the country's circulating
medium.
