emergency will go a long way toward preserving unimpaired credit and good will.
 When the Alarm Sounds
 When a fire occurs in an office the mployees are bound to become highly excited. Their first thought naturally is the preservation of human life. The value of records sinks by comparison. The ease and rapidity, then. with which employees can put records in containers and lock these containers IS an inn portant point in selecting equipment for fire protection.
 Many offices have solved this prob lem by using metal filing cabinets with automatic locking devices. These metal containers are not designed to give complete protection Their chief virtues lie in the fact that they are not in themselves combustibie, and that all drawers in any unit can be quickly locked by one operation.
 The value of filing drawers which can be locked quickly in case of fire is important for this reason: Suppose the floors sag or fall. as they often do in a conflagration. Filing cabinets will be tipped over. and the drawers will slide out, depositinS their contents in the flames. If the records escape the fire itself. they are sure to be- ruined by water.
 Methods of Protection
 One method of insuring that records will be housed in safety and filing drawers locked, is to place a filing cab met near the desk of the person re- ferring to that particular file most of ten. In this way clerk need have out of the file only such recoros as ne is actually working on at any time. Then, in case of fire, it is but the work of minute to clear his desk of papers. replace them in the files and lock the cabinets.
 In many offices a fire drill is re- quired not only to practice ranid

SERIOUS MILL SITUATION

The shortage of grain cars IS now
affecting the wages and working con-
dftions OF Iaborers employed in Kansas
mills.
In making public its findings in the
case in which noHunfon employees OF
the Kansas Flour Mills were seeking
an increase in pay and shorter hours
the court OF industrial relations took
cognizance of the car situation and the
handicap under which It is forcing the
mills TO operate The court refused
70 issue an order granting the men
either an increase in wages or a re-
duction in hours. but suggested that
the mill put its employees on the basis
OF 9-hour day and pay them over
time for all extra hours they put in
al their work
The unorganized Great Bend en-
ployes appealed TO the court several
months ago TO grant them RELIEF from
the 12-hour day they have been com
PEELED to work and 10 give them an
increase in wages Evidence was taken
and II was suggested that the en-
ployes and the mill officials get to-
gether- This was not done. however
and today the findings in the case
were made public with recommended
tons and It was suggested that 7 the
recommendations were not carried
out. an official order would be forth
coming.
Discharge the Men,

been filed. IL was reported TO the

They charged that the mill was not
paying them an adequate living wage
Emergency Is Recognized
The court. IN making its findings.
held that the men were loyal and
faithful workers. and deplored the fact
that they were compelled u put in
so long hours However. the pres
ent situation in the milling industry
was held TO be an emergency and the
court stated that it did not feel jusri-
fled in ordering the company TO short
en its hours
The court finds that the day is too
long the findings read. but the pres
eut condition constitutes an emergency
and the court would not be warranted
in establishing an eight-hour day, and
finds that the mill should pay the
men upon niue-hour basis and il ex-
ira hours are worked overtime should
be paid
The mill officials admitted that the
men are required to work twelve hours
a day but said there were many short
rest periods during the day and that
the men actually put in only between

HERE. Is A CLEVER METHOD OF
UNLOADING LIMESTONE

Frank VIM. Taylor of Morristown
states that for some time he hesitat.
ed to. buy agricultural limestone be.
cause OF the difficulty in getting it IN
loaded. 81 thought over he matter
carefully and decided that must
have some lime for my land regard
less of this, and at the same time I
thought of good scheme of unload
ing, which proved to be very success
sful, and which I believe will be of
value to other farmers" said Mr..
Taylor, recently.
Here is his method for unloading:
BY use of a pulley at the sar door, a
scraper, rope and a mule, the lime
is pulled to the center from each
end Of the cap The lime is then
placed in the wagons and trucks and
hauled to the place desired. The un-
loading of the trucks and wagons is
done by the use of a mule and a
scraper. this last operation requiring
only four or five minutes per load. In
this way Mr.. Taylor was able to un-
load a A ton car with three wagons
and two small trucks with an aver
age haul of three miles in three-quar-
tiers of a day.

TENNESSEE. FARMERS URGED TO
GROW MORE CRIMSON CLOVER

Every farmer who desires to i'm
prove his land, save money on his
fertilizer, and have green pasture in
the fall, winter, and early spring,
should sow as much Crimson clover
as possible within the next few weeks
according to Division of Extension
specialists. A crop of Crimson clover
turned under adds hunAls to the
soil, and most of the soil in this
state needs humus.
J. c. NcAmis, Agronomy Special
ist, says that he considers it risky
to sow clover by itself after Septem-
Der l., altho it is by no means impos-
sible to obtain q stand by sowing af-
ter that date, much depending upon
the moisture. kind of soil, previous
crop, etc. When clover is sown in
September, however, il is safer to
SOW small grain with il.

REVIVAL CONTINUES

The unioh evangelistic campaign
being conducted by Rev. NJ F. Ham
and w. ]. Ramsey continues to in
crease in interest ana attendance
daily, despite the very unfavorable
weather for an outdoor meeting. The
crowd that was present last Sunday
night was probably the largest that
ever attended religious service In
Cookeville, but even larger audienc-
es are expected when the weather
fairs up so that more people can come
from the country.
Bro. Ham is doing some mighty
plain Bible preaching going after sin
of every form and fashion, but CON
ditions are such that these strong
sermons are needed. -
Services are held twice each day.
at 10 a. m. and 7:15 p. m, and every
body is invited and should attend
this meeting.

WEATHER AND CROP CONDlT-
IONS
Week Ending August 81, 1920

The week averaged unusually cool,
but there was high percentage of
much needed sunshine over most of
the State and the rainfall was light
and favorable except in some north
eastern counties where it was too
heavy. The conditions were favor
able for saving hay and blowing and
for most growing crops, including to-
bacco, white potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, and, forage crops. Tobacco and
potatoes, however, in many localities
show the bad effects of the recent
wet spell. Tobacco generally is
good, is ripening,- and q little was
cut. Corn made good progress and
is caring well. On the whole, the
of corn is good to, excellent
and the supply Of son moisture is
fine for it. It was too cool for the
best progress of cotton, but no serf-
Gus effects of the low temperature
are yet noted. In the southeastern
cotton counties the crop suffered
from the recent wet spell. The con-
dition of cotton generally in the state
is fair to good. Apples were damag-
ed considerably in some localities by
the recent wet weather. The apple
crop is apparently larger than usual
The ground is generally in good con-
dihon for blowing.

BY NO MEANS FINAL

Naturalization headquarters I
Nashville made the following an
nouncement today after reading OF
Secretary Colby's proclamation:
"The fact that Secretary of State
4 Colby, this morning issued a procla-
nation that the Woman Suffrage
amendment had been adopted by the
necessary thirty-six states will not
cause any cessation of the fight in
this state both in the courts and in
the legislature against the validity
of Tennessee's alleged ,atihcatien.
The proclamation of the secreta-
ry of state does not make fact of
what is not a fact and the courts are
still open to those opposing the va
lidity of Tennessee's ratification to
,shoW that fact in the courts. In
Feigenspan VS.. Bodins, decided June
z, 1920 by the Supreme Court of the
United States, Elihu Root attacked,
as counsel, the validity OF the prohi-
bition amendment, which had already
been proclaimed by the secretary of
state, and the court proceeded and
heard the case on the merits, against
the contention of the government tina:
the secretary"s certificate was con.
clusive-showing that the court rec.
ognized 1t was not conclusive and
that It could not have the effect or
making that fact which was not
fact.
In addition to the fight in the legis-
lature and throughout the state an
other suit or suits will be brought
against alleged ratification and to en-
join elections held hereunder giving
women in Tennessee the unrestricted
right to vote"
Putnam County herald. (Cookeville, Tenn.) 1903-1922, 1920-09-02
WHAT ABOUT THlsf

Mrs. James S. Pinckard, president
of the Southern Woman's Rejection
League, made public sne following
statement: .
THE ratification of this amend
ment means more than the defeat OF
the anti-suffragists. 1t means the
defeat of the people Of the nation
by methods of corruption too dis
graceful to be chronicled here, put
over by women who have assumed
to enter politics for the purpose Of
purifying it.
IF the history of the methods by
which ratification has been forced In
Tennessee could be impartially writ
ten it would make black page In
the history of the politics OF that
state. During my stay there OF nve
yeeks I became more convinced that
in this campaign the voice Of the
in this campaign the voice OF the
people was silenced by ambitious
politicians and radical women who
would sacrifice principle and honor
to gain control and force upon the
people legislation to which they
were unalterably opposed.

votes were offered for sale. AS the
official representative Of the South
ern Rejection League I was told lof
two men said to have been bought
with money by the other side, Who;
would for little money, leave Mash
vile on night train and not be ON
hand to vote the next morning"
