COMMUNITY RECIPROCITY

The most essential adjunct for the
upbuilding of any community is CO
operation, and without this no com
munity can progress, but on the 9th
er hand it must necessarily retro
gress. No enterprise, be it CONNER.
cial or social in its purport, can be
success without the aid of large
majority of the people within that
community, ether directly or indirect
ly given Financial aid is not al
ways the only thing lacking to a
proposed innovation that fails, but
when the whole-hearted support OF
the best element Of a community is
withheld, the project, whatever 1t
may be is doomed to failure, no mat
ter how much financial aid 1t can
muster, or how meritorious the pro-
ject may be. Some men throw OBJ
stacles in the way of an enterprise
simply because they cannot figure out
in dollars and cents, just how much
benefit they are going to derive there
from. They do not take into con-
sidration the benefits to be enjoyed
by the community at large. Commu-
nifty interests should be placed. above
individual interests, and some sacri-
fees must be made by individuals,
if communities thrive and prosper.
In Cookeville and Putnam county
we have as fine class of citizenship
as can be found anywhere in the
world. We. are Anglo-Saxon from
the core, with scarcely a tinge of
foreign blood flowing through our
veins. There is no reason for any
man to be suspicious of the motives

Bishop E. R. Hendrix has issued a
strong appeal for every member OF
the NJ. E. Church, South, to attend
church next Sunday, May IS, that be-
ing the day on which the great Cen
tenary campaign opens. One of the
important paragraphs of the call is
as follows:
Let the campaign which opens on
May Is be ushered in by a great
churchgoing Sunday that shall fill all
our churches, both with crowds of
worshippers and the spirit of faith
and prayer. 1t is our Lord who sum-
mons us to meet him in the place of
worship. Let ours be the Church's
answer to his gracious call for SER
vice. He is mobilizing his army.
Let the foundations of hell tremble
under the footballs of the hosts of
the Lord as our cry goes up to heav-
on"

the man who is right and is the

President Wilson is right; he knows

people know he is right, consequent
ly he does not allow innuendoes or
threats of foreign or American In

course and the policies he has out

Dcfying Its Allies

| }lSPATCHES from Rome relate that Italy
- having been denied its claim to the East
ern Adriatic shore, promptly moved to safe
guard what it regards as it's vital interests
there by dispatching 100000 troops to Dali
malta and largely reinforcing the garrison
now in possession Of Fiume This would
seem to indicate defiance Of the peace con-
ference, houting of the powers which 1t has
been pctitioning. and what in American juris-
prudence would amount to bald contempt of
court
All this may be part Of a general pro-
gram OF bluff on the part Of the Italians
But 1T is a dangerous sort of blufing 1t
certainly will cost the Italian government a
large measure of sympathy which might
otherwise go out to the country in its mani
fest disappointment, and lose it great deal
OF support If Italy went into the peace
conference in good faith, it must abide its
decisions in good faith. II it is q faithful
ally, then it must show it in the manner in
which it maintains the peace relationship
with the allied nations
1t is easily conceivable of course, that Italv
might send large bodies of troops to Dali
malta, place sufficient force in Fiume TO
hold ii against any local attacks employ the
divisions now in Trieste and Gorilla under
the command OF the Duke of Aosta. To SIM
port its troops further south mobilize its on
TIRE navy at Venice and Pola, and man and
command the Austrian fleet, now in it's keep
ing. This show of force would indeed be
formidable 1t would vastly outnumber the
Slav opposition. But such action would array
the moral forces of the allies against it, even
If it did not result in military conflict and
Italy is in no position to meet such a CON
dition.
IL is certainly plain to the outside world.
ana should be plain to Italy that il would
plunder sadly if it took the situation into
us own hands and used its army and navy
10 gam and hold a few hundred square miles
OF territory at the expense OF the friendship
OIL the allies That would be a killing price

now covets, and there is no other direction in
winch Italy may look for friends 1t cannot
