JAIL-BREAKERS
and EX-SOLDIERS
Former Service Men Surround
Quartet Which Broke Jail
Friday Night and Capture
Whole Outfit.

Roy Hagy. charged with various
offenses; John White, bootlegger
from Richlands; Charley Blackwell,
awaiting trial for burglaries COM
mitted ut Cedar Bluff, and Whit
Farmer, awaiting trial here for felo-
NOUS assault, the four men who es-
capped from the county Jail here last
Friday night by saving the Jail bars,
were captured Sunday morning at
the home of Caleb Hagy by Magis-
trate r. p. Asbury, assisted by his
father, G. w. Asbury and Roy and
Oscar Keister, brothers. Of Poor VAL
ley. The men were taken by sur
prise by the four men who surround
cd the house Saturday and kept a
close watch until day brake Sunday
morning when they rushed the house
and had the men covered with revolv-
ers and shot guns. John White man.
aged in some way to slip through the
rear door and had to be peppcred
with shot by the officers before he
would stop running. He was shot
with number seven bird shot three
times, the last shot telling him to
the ground. His wounds are not Sc
rious and he will be in good shape
when court convcnes to answer the
liquor charge now standing against
him. The quartet was brought here
to Jail Sunday noon and have been
lodged again in Tazewell County's
famous Jail, where an effort will be
made to hold them until court.
Magistrate Asbury and the two
Keister boys are ex-service men, the
Keisters having seen overseas service
with the A. T.. f. forces. Asbury
served the colors in this country and
would have gone across had the war
continued.
1t is believed that the men were
aided in escaping by the US of saws
to them by confedcrates.
Locks on the doors were broken, bars
wrenched and the prisoners apparent
ly gained their liberty without great
effort.
This is the second time Hagy has
escaped from the Tazewell jail.
In connection with the arrest of
Hagy, the army descrter, comes the
from the war dcpart-
mnt in Washington that plans have
about been completed for the arrest
of all men who are classed on the
rolls of the war department as de-
oSi eSAo oiid Iiiub LiiC Will
make an effort to interest the ex-
service men in the apprehension of
those who showed the "yellow" when
the country was in need of men. 1t is
believed that this action on the part
Of the Adjutant General will result in
rounding up q large percentage of
the slackers in the country.
The community where Hagy and
the other prisoners were arrested is
said to have been n very favorable
hiding place for slackers and desert
ers during the war, the people TAX
ing little interest in the prosecution
Of the conflict with Germany, or in
fuel to keep the home fires
burning. Magistrate Asbury is said
to have met with much opposition iY
the Jail breakers, some of
the neighbors refusing to assist, and
after the mep wer arrested the officer
had to use his gun to prevent vio-
lencc from some of tn local resi-
dents.

But what are the living doing!
."rhe war is not ended. The peace
for which so many men died is not
vet established. Is it possible that
they died in vain Why Is their work
not completed? 1t would be false to
the memory Of the war dead to allow
their death to be useless.
"And why did the United States
abondon this work at the moment of
obtaining results? 1t amounts to
nothing to write a treaty if one does
not enforce it.
at may be said of the Treaty of
Versailles that it is, above all, the
work of President Wilson. 1t was he
who introduced so many of the con-
ditions which make its application
difficult 1t seems to us course too
easy and too unjust for America to
draw out now.
"No consideration for interior po-
litics and stoill less of a personal
order can justify the present atti-
tude of the Government of the Unit
ed States. We lack that great help
in grave hours. We would not be,
perhaps, where we are today if the
voice of the great nations had affirm
ed the legitimacy and inviolability of
the treaty. 1t is not just that the
right be sacrificed in the interest of
Presidential candideture.
"All those little white crosses
planted upon delivered soil protest
against the desertion."

Zoe and
~ Her Problems

Early in her married life Zoe
learned that she was the dynamo,
which furnished the current which
charged the atmosphere of her
home, and that there are problems
which do not admit of solution by
set rules. She found that the
struggle to enforce conditions to her
liking only defeated its purpose,
and that she must bear and forbear
if she would have her home the
haven of rest and cheer, which was
her purpose. !.
Anything which savored Of dis
order annoyed and irritated her,
and Allen although always kind and
the soul of honor, was in this re.
spect the chief of sinners. Perhaps
because he had been an only son
with older sisters his education
along this lite had been neglected.
At any rate the confusion occa-
stoned by misplaced articles de-
layed her in her already strenuous
duties.
AS her children grew she found
that her daughter, Clemantine,
whom they all loved for her sweet
ness of character and sunny dis
position, possessed much of her
fathers good natured carelessness.
Zoe was concerned at the discovery
for she resllzed the Importance of
lnstilling correct habits in her chill
dren early IN. life and she felt that
the child's future usefulness and
happiness depended upon her edu-
cation along this line. She knew
her husband Was handicapped in
his work by his inability to system
ize and that confusion in a home
was disastrous to the happiness of
its inmates.
Long ago she had given up trying
to enforce order in her home, nei-
ther must she submit to disorder.
How to maintain a well regulated
home and to conserve habits of
tidiness without disturbing its
peace was the problem which now
| confronted her.

Optimistic Thought.
A secret, if useful to mankind,
should not be secret.

At least one fifth OF all the
school children Of the United States
are under-nourished, not always
because they do not get enough to
eat but because in many cases the
mothers are not giving their chill
dren the right kind of food. The
right kind is not usually more ex-
pensive than the wrong kind, in
many cases it costs less. An under
nourished child is below par in
body and mind and shows it in
school work and conduct. Milk,
cereals and vegetables are necessary
for the growing child.
