RECRUITING PARTY
HERE SATURDAY
Governor Roberts And Staff In Inter.
est of Securing Recruits For
Battleship Tennessee. gt@s i

In the interest of securing recruits
for two year service on the battle
ship Tennessee, which is to n be
manned by Tennesseans, the special
which is now en- tour, will arrive IN
Paris Saturday afternoon at $3.50
bringing the Great Lakes Training

officials, who will willingly answer
any questions, those anticipating en-
listing may desire to ask. Governor
A. II. Roberts and staff will be with
the contingent, and the governor will
De the principal speaker at the Dixie
Immediately following the trains ar
rival.
Though Governor Roberts has made
many speeches at various points ovel
the state ando n various subjects, ano
though he has been twice scheduled
to speak here before, he has never
done so, and this will be his initial
speech in our city.
We remember the Great Lakes
Training Station Band on a certain
Liberty Loan occasion, at which time
we rather saw than heard, but what
we did hear was indicative that il
they be given the opportunity te
play on Satm day afternoon, that they
will be we'll worth packed house.
The Tennessee is one of the latest
and best types of battleships. There
Us of course patriotic sentiment ir
serving on the Tennessee, and it will
give an excellent chance for trave,
and sightseeing. It would be fine, il
at least gun crew for this big bat
tleship could be recruited from Paris
As the ship will be officially, com
missioned February 18th, this is real
ly the last opportunity that young
men will have to enlist. Anyone
wishing to oign up for these 2 years
of combined pleasure and remunera
tive education, can accompany tbs
party on the special train to Nash
vile, and be sent out from the U. S
N. Recruiting Station there, at tn,
Custom House building.

ALLIES RATIFY
TREATY OF PEACE
United States Does Not Participate;
State of War Still Exists
As Result,

With the exception of the United
States, all the other allied and asso-
eiated powers and Great Britain,
Italy and France, ratified the Treaty
of Versailles on January TO-. and
their peace with Germany became
effective at 4:16 o'clock that after
noon. So that because of the action
of our senate in obstinately refusing
to sign the treaty, which they have
made a political football, the United
States is now left the only power,
which was actively at war with Ger
many, not now on a peace basis.
How different the feeling in our
presidents heart must have been on
this date, from that in the Tiger,
Clemenceau's, who remarked 10 Lloyd
George after the signing of the
treaty, Il am satisfied. My life am
bition has been achieved" But then,
his eountrymen have stood right be-
hind the great Clemenecau.

Oil Well Springs
Leak On Gaflin,s
Buchanan Farm

According TO G. H. Talley, the w.
E. Gatlin place near Buchanan has
sprung an oil leak He reports that
an ola spring 80 yards from the
house--a spring that mas been filled
up for nigh onto" 90 years, is bub-
bling oil and that oil is running down
the hill sides.
OF course the fact that the old
spring is now In the center OF hog
pen and that hogs are occasionally
sometimes oiled, has nothing to do
with the case. 10 hear Mr.. Talley
tell it, Mr.. Gatlin is owner of fu-
ti1re gusher.

of Cottage Grove, last Monday de-
live1ed a load of $500 pounds of to-
bacco to M. T. Eaker & Co., of this

proof that tractors will take the
place of horses on the farm, for It
would have been almost impossible
to have used horses in this case on

in his presidential address said
ubiquitous profiteer is abroad in
the print paper field just as he is
in many other lines of trade and an
acute situation demands drastic
action"
"My opinion is," he said, "that
congress by prompt legislative en-
actment should restrict the issue of
every newspaper in the United
States to maximum of so many
pages per day and in such an act
define a maximum page size. Large
users Of print paper with their own
mills or contracts should keep out
of the spot market. Congress also
should make a substantial appro-
priation for a determined effort to
find a substitute for wood pulp"
President P. T. Dodge Of the In
ternational Paper company, predict
ed even higher prices for newsprint
paper due to the threatened rise in
freight rates and the demands Of
labor for higher wages. He suggest
ed some amendment to the postal
laws requiring an added rate on
above a certain weight
and size and appeal to the newspa-
pers to keep out of the spot market.
