THE B'NAI BIRTH LOAN
FUND.

FUND.
Too much Importance cannot
be attached to the movement
started by the head officers of
the Independent Order B'nai
Birth, to establish a loan fund
for worthy members of the Or
der, in the war zone. 1t may not
be generally known that in Eu-
rope, the B'nai Birth member
ship consisted of the most prom
inent Jews of the countries in
which the Order had its branch
es. In Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, Roumania and in Turkey,
the very best men of the CON-
munity only are elected to the
Order. Over there, the society
is not democratic like it is here.
1t is extremely difficult to get
into the Order, and membership
in it, means a great deal.
1t is for this reason that we
ought the more to be anxious to
give them what assistance we
can. The devastation in Europe
has been indescribable. The for
tunes of many have been swept
away. The writer saw a letter
from "a young German lieutenant,
who was a prisoner of war, who
asks for a loan from the Order,
and states in his letter that he
was a wealthy merchant, but
that everything was lost during
the war. He frankly states that
he wants loan, though he gives
no assurance of ever being able
to pay it back. He says that he
does not know to whom to apply,
and feels that the bond of frater-
nifty that the Order establishes
among its members, warrants
him in turning to them.
The lieutenant is not the only
one that has fallen into misfor.
tune because of the war. The
whole Order in the war-ridder
countries needs our help. They
do not want charity-they want
an opportunity to make them.

what we want to help them do
1t is one thing to depend on thu

aged by their guardian angels,
are entitled to any encourage
ment in this country.
We said that we believe in free
speech and in freedom Of
thought and expression-and we
do. We believe that if we are to
progress, we must adopt what
ever changes in the government,
that the new times and new cir
cumstances dictate. But we have
a ballot for that. We have made
provisions for the orderly car
rying out of any theories of gov
eminent that we may want to
try out. We do not believe in
force, in sabotage, in wilful des-
truction of property and life, and
least of all do we believe in the
theories that advocate these.
We believe in the rule of the
majority as long as that MAORI,
ty has a decent consideration for
the rights of the minority-that
is real democracy. If by chance
we fail in this test, the common
sense of the American people will
give us a remedy. We want no
slaughter; we want no destruc-
ton; we want no chaos; if the
Soviet theory of government
and it must be without murder,
is correct theory, the ballot is
the means by which it can be
brought into play. If the Ameri-
can people in their sovereignty
and wisdom do not want tit is
not the business of the Reds to
inflict it on us, and we shall re-
sist them to the utmost.
1t is unfortunate that fellow
Hebrews-these have long since
discarded their belief in a God
and in Judaism-should be
among the most dangerous radi-
Gals of the world. 1t is unfortu-
nate that they disregard the fact
that ours is a religion of Law
and respect for Law, of rever-
ence for life and resistance from
murder. But we are glad to know
that there are only a few radicals
among us-that by overwhelm-
ing majority, our coreligionists
are law-abiding, life-respecting,
freedom-appreciating people, and
this the small number of Reds
who claim to be Jews, have prov
ed to us. The fact that among
the many Reds, the few who are
Jews are leaders, is an evidence
of their ability, but we confess
that we have long since been per-
suaded that this is a matter Of

duce oil and gas in any county in
Which Offices Of the company are es-

The organization of the company
comes as the result of operations in
the Pottsvllle section of the county,
fourteon miles from Columbia, where
during recent months FIVE wells, hav.
ing strong flow of gas, and giving
strong indications of oil, have been
brought in in this section.
Mr.. Herdison has secured leases on
at least 1900 acres in this section and

in paying quantities. He stated to a
representative of The Herald, 81 am
positive there is big pool of oil un-
ierneath this gas at POttsville, and
oil machinery has been ordered and
will be put into operation just as
soon as it arrives and we feel sure
Maury county will soon be numbered
among the oil producing counties OF
the state.
Drilling operations in this section
have not revealed any Of the we'll
known "oil sand" but Mr. Hardison
attributes this to the fact that only Or
dinary well digging machinery has
been used, and no effort has been
made to 90 deeper than 200 feet. Gas
was struck in the several wells at DIFF
ferent depths, one at 200 feet, another
at 100, another at 80, and one at so

them The purposes that the station
would serve and he showed them

County Trustee j. Ross Burns, after
paying all claims for sheep killed by
dogs in Maury county during the past
year. had balance left from the col
lection OF dog tax to the amount of
s. 1928. which has been turned over
70 the school department, to be used
BY the public schools OF the county.
1t has been conservatiyely estimat.
ed that this amount will pay for the
schooling OF not less than coo Maury
county children during the present
Year, the revenue coming from a hith-
etto undeveloped source. Until the
passage of the 1919 dog law, no one
had ever dreamed that the dogs Of the
state would play prominent part in
the education of thousands of children
throughout Tennessee.
Although up until the present time

Office believe that payments will be-
sin to rush within the next few days,
as but little time remains in which
dog owners may pay without heavy
penalties and liability to criminal
prosecution.
Attorney General Looney B. White
has issued a .statemeat warning all
dog owners that the dogslaw must be
observed just as all otherslaws are
observed, and that vigorous action
will be taken by the grand jury
against those who seek to escape pay
nen. OF this tax.
Up until the present time only 654
receipts for the 1920 dog tax have
heen written. To this number must
be added those written by Tax Ass IS
sor Williams, probably running the
number up to 700. This is considt "a
