One-tenth of the population of
the United States is concentrat-
ed in the three cities of New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
while one-fourth of the inhabit-
ants reside in cities having a
population of 100000 OF more.
This is to big and too resourceful
a country to encourage conges-
ton and crowding, with conse-
quent impairment in primary
productions, and concentration
of wealth and activities. With
an abundance of elbow room, it
is unwise not to enjoy it. for pre-
sent tendencies are toward social
and economic retrogression. The
most effective remedy available
is in developing a larger interest
in community centers. An act
i've cooperation between merch-
ants, business men generally and
farmers to make the small town
supply all requirements satisfac-
torily will assist materially in
forwarding a movement that is
recognized as essential 10 our
national welfare.

THE LUXURY TAX.

lIiE LOAOh IA.
The workingman who strug-
giles to Jay up fortune" Of
$4,000 or so must have a feeling
of dizziness when he learns from
the United States luxury tax re-
turns that American women
spend seven hundred fifty mil
lion dollars in so short time as
365 days to rouge their cheeks,
paint their lips, put a dab of
powder on their noses and make
themselves fragrant with per-
fume.
A newspaper correspondent in
Chicago. who calls the compila-
ton of luxury tax returns
frank and ungallant," has dug
out some very eniightening fig
ures. For instance, he has found
that cosmetics and perfume for
Americas women cost more
than twice as much as furs, al
though furs were last year sell
ing at peak prices. He says
further:
The United States, according
to tax returns, spent twenty-five
billion seven hundred million in
1919 in luxuries. Eight hun
dred million dollars-pouf =
went up in cigarette smoke.
Cigars burned up five hundred
ten million dollars. These two
items changed one billion three
hundred ten million dollars into
ashes and nothingness. Jewelry
that lasts and is handed down
through generations as heir
looms, cost five hunder million,
an impressive sum but only 2 per
cent of luxurious expenditures.
A round billion dollars disappear
ed down the great American
aesophagus in the form of candy
Pianos, organs and monographs
entertained the people to the
tune of two hundred fifty mil
lion dollars. Automobiles cost
two billion dollars.
Uncle Sans definition of lux
ul'ies is of wide latitude and
proves that as a photographer
ne is fine tax collector. The
gum your stenographer chews is
a luxury-to the stenoprapher.
The diamond engagement ring
you slip on your sweetheart's
finger is a luxury. The auto
mobile that brings you to work
is a luxury. A cigar, a cake of
toilet soap, a glass of soda water
are all luxuries.
Here are other high spots in
the nations total luxury expend-
itures: Soft drinks, three hun
dred fifty million dollars; toilet
soaps, four hundred million dol
lars; chewing tobacco and snuff,
eight hundred million dollars
ice cream, two hundred fifty mil
lion dollars; chewing gum, fifty
million dollars; cake and confec-
tons, three hundred fifty mil
lion dollars; Luxurious services
whatever that means), three
billion dollars; luxurious food
(and you can write your own
answer to that, five billion dol
lars; joy riding, pleasure resorts
and races (if this is clear to you)
three billion dollars.
Perhaps this sort of informa-
ton gives us an idea where the
billions made by American work
ers during the period of high
wages, despite the high cost OF
living, are going. Perhaps il
indicates that things, after all,
are not so bad, even in the face
of our rosy memories of those
halcyon days before the war;"

creation of Puratone.
Many people are already coming
back to tell Mr.. Pomeroy of the bene-

to surprise him, because he said:
"When l came to Memphis, pre-

buy my medicine and then come here
again and thank me for the good
it does them. l am gratified to

fulfilled and / want to say that the

cessful here than in other cities
where it is enjoying such enormous
sales. I firmly believe that from
three to four thousand people will
call to get Puratone during the
present week.
II tell you when a medicine act
ually makes sick people well, it is
bound to be a success. Every
body wants to enjoy good health,
and Puratone is going to give it to
them"

S. S. TEACHERS IN

Those whose good fortune it was
to hear Mr.. Hudgins' lectures on
Sunday school work here last year
at the Baptist church will be charmed
to know that he is coming back to
Dresden and will conduct Sunday
school teachers institute to last an
entire week.
The institute begins next Sunday
at the Baptist church, continuing a
whole week, during every minute of
which time there will be something
worth while to hear. Mr.. Hudgins
will bring with him very able and
competent assistants. The lectures
will be given at night, and Rev.
Hale, pastor of the Baptist church,
cordially invites every Sunday school
teacher in Dresden and the surround
ing community to attend.
Dresden needs an awakening along
Sunday school lines. There are many
people in and around town who need
to "be shown" how they can spare
the time to attend Sunday school.
Mr.. Hudgins will do this very thing.
His is not theory, but practical,
common sense reasoning which
may be put into practice in Dresden
just as it has been in other places.

fitable week, religiously, Dresden

tering into the agreement failed to
make deliveries and Ford brought
suit against them.
About the same time Ned Castle
man and Frank Margrave sold Ford
IL cars Of potatoes at So the bushel,
to be delivered by Monday, May 81.
The potato market went all to pieces,
the price dropping way down yon-
der, and Castleman and Margrave
allege that Ford would not take
the entire purchase. Up to last
Monday he had still refused to take
them. Ford had deposited at the
Gleason Bank $1,000 as a guaran-
tee of good faith with the growers
whom he sued some weeks ago.
That is this sum was deposited as a
forfeit to the credit Of W. R. Hawks,
sales manager Of the association.
Mr.. Hawks came here Monday and
after consulting a lawyer trans
ferred the $1,000 back to Ford.
Castleman and Margrave got busy,
and through Jones & Jones, attor-
neys, enjoined the Gleason Bank
from paying this money over to
Ford or his agent and attached the
same.
But in the meantime the agent of
Ford had jumped in his car at Dres-
den and started to Gleason for the
purpose of drawing the money from
the bank before the same was at
tached by Castleman and Margrave.
However, he had bad luck before
reaching Gleason and when he got

J While speaking of orchards it
might be Of interest to say that over
$4,000 went out Of Weakley county
this past fall for fruit trees. These
were largely bought under the new
contract and we understand that
these same nursery men are now
taking orders for another fall deliv-
cry. Apples can be raised in the
county, but they require attention.
First, arrange to keep the stock out
of the young trees. Then prepare
to cultivate the trees for four or
five years, just as you would cult
vate tobacco crop, and feed the
ground each year. They require rich
land just like other crops. Especial
ly should they be cultivated through
June, July and August. Use rastus

ing white peas. The other space can
be cultivated in most any crop, ex-

June is the month to make rapid
progress in cultivation. One pillow
should be kept>cultivating the crop
already planted while the other
teams are finishing the breaking
and planting. A boy with a double
shovel or rastus going one time
down the middle will give a good
promise of a cultivation until time
can be had to cultivate like we know
1t should be done. Scraping cotton
and siding out corn are slow process
ses of cultivation. Likewise with to-
bacco. Of course this has to be done
at times, but a great many times it
is done by force of habit. Such
method does not work the middle
deep which is much needed in the
early stage of cultivation.
