AN ADVERTISEMENT THAT
BROUGHT RESULTS.

A gentleman in Mobile, Ala, hav-
ing a wife and child, found that he
could not get an apartment where
children were permitted, and there
weer no vacent residences for rent.
In desperation, he advertised that he
would trade a bouncing baby boy for
a poodle dog. The advertisement
caused some inquiries to be made.
with the result that an apartment
owner, whose heart had not frozen
within him, decided to break his rule
and admit babies. All Of which
shows that even indirect advertising
pays, when there is a touch Of humor
mixed in the @copy."-Tennessean.
So, even in the cities, the poodle
dogs have not entirely ousted the
babies.

BIGGER THAN WE
KNOW DOWN HERE.

The great unauthorized strike Of
railroad switchmen and others, that
originated in Chicago and afterward
so spread that nearly fifty cities were
affected by the first of the week, was
perhaps the work of radicals in labor
organizations, the heads Of which be-
lieve in the saeredness of contracts
between employers and employees.
The first work of the red radical
when he gets into a labor organiza-
ton, is to create disrespect for con-
tracts-and without a contract any
employer is subject at all times to the
whims. and the devilish intriguing
of radical agitators. We are for and
with respectable labor but not the ut
terly honorless code of the anarchist.

NUMBER 81
LET'S LIFT THE COUNTY
OUT OF THE MIRE.

The proposition to vote on the is
suance of $350,0O0 of bonds for the
building of hard roads in Henderson
county, is a chance for the voters of
the present to lift the county out Of
the mire at one effort, without max
ing fight for perhaps twenty-five
years to accomplish less. II Hender-
son county will vote the bonds, at an
interest not to exceed 51s percent,
the State will furnish a like sum, the
Federal government another $780,
600 and in addition we will get an au-
tomobile fund which we will other
wise lose. This total sum of more
than a million dollars ought to and
we believe will practically cover Hen
derson county with hard roads
roads that will stay and over which
there will be State and National SUI
pervision, which will guarantee their
maintenance. At the very outset the
State and National governments will
have an insight into the finances and
the expenditures will be subject to
auditing which will insure against
any possible misuse of the funds. II
seems to be the general belief that
the people will simply jump at the
chance to secure the enormous sum of
100000 from the State and nation
to go into Henderson county roads.
The fellow that has some other plan
is simply against the proposition
against the greatest offer the county
ever had or ever will have. We wish
there were not voter in the county
so completely blind to progress as to
even suggest, opposition to the prop
osition to be voted on the 18th of
June.

MRS. SUDIE HALL
WINS LAWSUIT

Attorneys W. H. Dennison and Jno.
F. Hall, last Friday, in the Chancery
Court of 0bion county, at Union City,
won the suit of Mrs. Sudie Hall, ct
al, VS.. R. A. Gosson ct al, involving
2O2 acres of Obion county land, five
miles from Union City, the old home
place of Mrs. Halls mother, the late
Mrs. Charles C. Turner, and is valued
at from $4,000 to s25,OO0. Mrs. Hall
is the wife Of our countyman, Mr.. d.
Hall, of the former Hall Store COM
munity, five miles West of Lexington.
As a matter Of course case of that
magnitude was appealed to the high
er court-but the Chancellor Hal
Holmes is a good one and his decis-
ions generally stand the final test.

GOING AFTER THE
CLOTHING PROFITEERS

Business men, professional men,
office men, clerks ard al sorts Of
men in the city Of Birmingham, have
handed themselves into an "Overalls
Club" to cut down the high cost of
wearing apparel. They have bound
themselves to wear overalls on any
and all occasions-and their number
is already reaching into the thous-
ands with the promise that the move
ment will spread--in fact, has al
ready spread to other cities. As a
consequence, the local dealers are
said to have already advanced SO
overalls to So, and now the club men,
bers are figuring on some manner of
retaliation. We are in full sympathy
with any dealer who is willing to sell
anything at reasonable profit-but
we glory in any movement that will
cut the throat of the profiteer. Take
coffee for instance: Several months
ago when the importers and whole
salers began to boost the price when
train loads of coffee were standing
on the railroad tracks and stacked
mountain-high at water transporta-
tion shipping points, if the people had
just had the nerve to quit coffee as
a beverage, the coffee men would not
have lasted as long as a clean shirt
in cole mine. Profiteering is, to
great extent, the result of personal
greed.

FOURTH-CLASS POST
MASTER EXAMINATION.

Tbs Hnited States Civil seryies
Commission has announced an exami-
nation TO be held at Jackson, Tenn,
on May s, 1920. as a result of which
it is expected to make certification to
fill a contemplated vacancy in the po-
sition Of fourth-class postmaster at
Luray, Tenn, and other vacancies as
they may occur at that office, unless
it shall be decided in the interests of
the service to fill any vacancy by re-
instatement. The compensation of
the postmaster at this office was
$4,000 for the last fiscal year.
Applicants must have reached their
twenty-first birthday on the date of
the examination, with the exception
that in a state where women are de-
clared by statute to be at full age for
all purposes at eighteen years, wo-
men eighteen years of age on the

mitted.
Applicants must reside within the
territory supplied by the post office
for which the examination is an
nounced.
The examination is open to all cit
izens of the United States who can
comply with the requirements.
Application blanks, Form 1853, and
full information concerning the re-
quirements of the examination can

THE WAY AN ASSES
S0R LOOKS AT 1T.

In conversation with Mr.. j. NJ.
Riles, who is, or has been assessing
the property for taxation in the Sec
ond district, he informed us that he
had been instructed that he could not
lower but could raise the tentative as
sessments made by the assistant
State Statistician who visited this
county and had witnesses before him.
In spite of this, it is a fact that let
ters from Governor Roberts, Chief
Statistician Louthan and perhaps
others have stated positively that the
county assessor has the right to low
er as well as raise assessments as
made by the assistant j. w. Thomas,
some Of whose figures have been dis
puted by the witnesses who appear
ed before him. II it is the plan to
lower no assessments as at first made
until the matter reaches the county
equalization board, it will be a fact
that many will never reach that
board, for We know that there are
many that feel that they are over
assessed. The assessor has the right
to lower as well as raise assessments
and he ought to exercise it when
necessary.

THE BANNER AND
THE PROGRESS.

The Nashville Banner Of the 10th
INST, stated editorially That just a.
years before, on that date, making it
April 1th, 1880, the Banner came into,
existence-an dthat reminds us:
On the 10th day of April, 1884, the
first issue of the Lexington Progress
was printed, in the old Major Tom
Smith house, at about the present site
of the Lancaster building and the
Parker store section Of it--and that
reminds us again: Z
A few years ago quite a number of
men over the State were called to,
Nashville to hold Hooper meet.
ing" Said meeting was held in the
Capital and Lawyer John A. Pitts
presided over it. There were not so
many of US and we sat in a partial
circle in front of the chairman. The
rule was adopted that each and every
body present should express himself
and Major Stahlman, owner of the
Banner, who sat on my left, stated in
substance that while admitting a GER
tain statement that had been gener-
ally approved, he did not think it wise
for him to come right out in the open,
because" said the Major, 81 own a
newspaper"-in fact, the Major was
playing the role of crawfish to some
extent. When my time. came
arose, addressed the chair and stated
that was like my friend, the Major,
to the extent that II owned a newspa-
paper" that my paper was not so big
nor widely circulated as the Banner,
but still while Il OWNED A NEWS
PAPER" ! was in favor of wide
open policy" At this point in the
speech that | might have made, the
Major pulled my coattail and said
"Sit down, Barry-that's a pretty
good speech" We felicitate the Ban
ner on its 44th anniversary and trust
it may continue for many more de-
cades to be the excellent paper that
it has always been.

VOLUME XXXV1
DRIVE FOR RELIEF
OF ARMENIANS.

In response to the request sent out
by the governor of our state, and in
answer to the cry Of 250,000 homeless
and starving Armenians, the drive
for 81 800, Henderson county's quota,
will start Monday, May 2, and con-
tinue thru the week. Team captains
have been selected amongst the men
and women of Lexington, and a
chance will be given to every person
to contribute to this fund.
Surely no person can turn deaf
ears to this appeal, certainly no fol-
lowerer of Christ can. We remember
His words, "Inasmuch as We did it un-
to one of the least Of these We did it
unto me-" Few people Of this county
know what it is for hunger to gnaw
at their very stomachs; few, if any of
us, are rich, as riches are counted,
but of our substance we can divide
with the more needy.
Col. William Haskell, who is in
charge of the operations and expen-
ditures in the Near East, writes:
100000 Armenians are destitute,
and will require help until the har-
vest this fall. We need 1000 tons of
wheat flour or equivalent monthly,
beginning December lst. Only de-
pendable source Of supply is the Unit
ed States"
President Wilson writes: "Great
populations are driven out upon a
desert where there is no food--and
can be none, and there are compelled
to die. These men, women and chill
dern are thrown into a common
grave, SO imperfectly covered that
there is a pitiful arm stretched out to
heaven but is there no pity in the
world? When shall we wake to the
moral responsibilities Of this great
occasion"
Fifteen dollars month provides
food, clothes, shelter and school, ten
dollars y month provides food. clothes
visf1a slIefvzf i've dollars a4ihonth pro
vides food. Can we shut up our heart
of compassion to these appeals? ? Sup
pose your child was starving and the
people about you had food, would you
not think them the meanest people
alive if they did not share it with
your baby? In the sight of God,
aren't we the meanest people alive if
we do not supply these starving Ar
menians with food? What shall be
your answer? Mail check to Miss
Fay Houston, Lexington, and be
ready to help when solicited if you
live in Lexington-Contributed.
