Senator Cummins declared that
'the four years which have Just
passed have been the most momen-
toW and terrible in the history Of
mankind" He said the greatest prob
lem Is to readtust the disordered
relation which has inevitably ap-
peared between wages and compensa-
ton for personal service and the
prices of commodities He said there
is but one enduring solution to this
problem and that is work-work TO
the very limit of health. endurance
and strength.
Wilson's League Large Proposition.
As to the league of nations he de-
clared that the president knew long
before the peace treaty was signed
in Paris that the league Of nations
contained the covenant in the form
in which It was proposed and said
that 'rhe and he alone Is responsible
for the failure TO consumate promptly
a treaty OF peace with Germany"

THE CIRCUS BROUGHT in
IA BIG CROWD YESTERDAY

Because of the recent census report,
we were led to believe that the popu-
lation of Claiborne county had greatly
decreasd; but when the denizens began
to gather for the circus yesterday we
were convinced that some mistake has
been made,e else there wasn't corporal
guard left at home.
We are sure the crowd reached far
into the thousands. After the parade
had passed a certain street corner, and
it did not appear to be the best pat
ronized corner either, pedestrians
wishing to 60 in the opposite direc-
tion from that taken by the show wa
gons, found it necessary to wait for
almost half an hour before they could
comfortably make their way
And the crowd did not come simply
to see the parade; thew went to the
show. Soon after the parade left
town for the show grounds the streets
were almost deserted.

soLpIERs ANp BABIEs.

Before America entered the war
there was popular song which ey--
er ybody remembers, II didn't raise.
NV bow to be a soldier" The idea
Veas, presumably, that no mother de-
liberately trained her son for pro-
fession in which he ran the chance Of
getting killed.
II would probably shock some Of
those mothers to tell them that the
way they are raising their babies Is
far more dangerous than # they were
planning to send them into battle.
Yet It is absolutely true. Statistics
show that only one out Of every forty
American soldiers was killed in the
Argonne, whereas one ont Of every
eight babies dies in America each
year. In other words, it is far more
dangerous to be baby nowadays
than it IS TO be a fighting man.

mothers. The vast majority Of IN

SPARE LATCH Is HANDY

In battery ignition systems there
is usually employed a notched rotor
against which presses the latch or
tripper. with short springs attached.
When this latch becomes worn the
entire system will fail to operate
properly and Il is a wise precaution
TO. cary a spare latch in the tool box.
II is not difficult to remove and re-
place this latch. which fits in but one
way. so that there is no danger OF
placing Il wrong.
