ROBBERS
CAPTURED
BADGETT STORE CO.'S STORE
ENTERED WITH LOSS OF FROM
$500 TO $1,000
SHERIFF EDMoNDSoN GETS
THREE MEN IN KENTUCKY
AND ONE IN MARYVILLE

The store of the Badgett Store Co.
on Main street was broken into last
Friday night and from $500 to $1,000
worth of shoes, clothing, ETC., were
stolen. The stock of the store was
badly disarranged, and there was
every evidence that the best articles
on the shelves and most desired
numbers and sizes were preferred Dy
the thieves.
The robbery was not discovered
until the store was opened Saturday
morning. In the rear of the store
were foot prints, and one showed one
of the parties was one legged with
crutch or a peg and this party was
traced by the officers and located in
Maryville. He admitted having
stood guard while other parties enter
ed the store. The sheriff telephoned
several towns in Tennessee and
Kentucky and put officers on the
look out for strangers with new suit
cases and hand grips, which had
been stolen. In Corbin, KY, one
man offered $500 silk shirt for
$4.00. This aroused suspicion,
Sheriff Edmondson was notified, and
he ordered the man and his compan-
ions arrested. They denied being the
thieves, but upon the appearance of
Sheriff Edmondson and Deputy
Webb, who went to Corbin, they
acknowledged the thievery, and were
brought back here. There were
others involved but they have not
been arrested.
1t is said some of the men who
negotiated the theft were with the
carnival which staged a ten days
stand here. This is another evil
coming to the town from such travel
ing shows which do no one good, but
do lots of harm. Such shows should
be prohibited from entering the
county.
The articles recovered from the
parties arrested, had been worn or
soiled, so the loss to the store is
practically complete to the extent of
the articles taken, assert the mana
gers.

u. S. ENGINEER TO
GO OVER ROUTE

A letter has been received from
State Engineer Moore stating that a
federal government engineer will go
over the route from Maryville to
Knoxville this week or next and the
announcement of the route chosen
will then be made. The Blount
county court and the Knox county
have both designated the route, and
Mr.. Moore said the commission would
build it as the people want it built.
However, there seems to be some
hitch some where. 1t is understood
that parties owning or having options
on property along the proposed lower
route via the Cherokee farm are try
ing to block the commission following
the route specified by the two courts,

LADIES' DAY
NEXT SATURDAY
MEMBERS OF FAIR SEX WILL BE
ADMITTED FREE TO THE BIG
BASEBALL GAME
ALCOA AGGREGATION RAN
AWAY WITH THE JOHNSON
TEAM LAST SATURDAY

The local fans last Saturday had
the opportunity of seeing the Alcoa
baseball team outclass the B. L.
johnson Company team in every de-
partment. The outstanding feature
of the game was the pitching of ]. B.
Hollingsworth, sixteen men going the
strikeout route. During the first in
ming the Johnson team managed to
get two men on bases with none out,
but Hollingsworth got down to bust
ness and struckut the next three men
that faced him. From that time on
they did not have a chance. Holly
would have probably struck out more
had not made him slow down and
give our fellows some fielding prac-
tice. To say the least there is great
they have strongly intimated that
they will have some surprises to hand
out to the local fans on their next
appearance. The Alcoa aggregation
is well balanced team and their
stick work was exceptional. Every
member of the team with the excep-
tion of two hit the ball safely The
two that failed to connect for a
safety are considered among the best
batters of the team.
Next Saturday, May 9Th, the
National Defenders will cross bats
with the local squad. This team won
its game last Saturday with the team
of Clinton which is considered
strong team and they expect Satur-
day to annex the one with Alcoa. 1t
is reported they have a bunch of
"Old Heads" that have not forgotten
how the trick is done, and with their
star slabman on the mound they e.

measure. The second game of the
series will have to be played on the
college campus as the ground at the
plant has not been put in shape. 1t
is possible that the third game will be
played at the aprk near the entrance
of the Aluminium Companys plant.

EDITING is CALLED
EDITORS CHIEF JOB

"The chief occupation Of an editor
should be to given up to his title
and edit, says Ralph Tennal of the
Atchison, Kas.. Globe Yet many edi-
tors do not seem to realize it. They
exercise the prerogative of editing
very little. They print copy which IS
sent in to the paper exactly as it is
received, sometimes both as to spell
ing and punctuation Some do it be-
cause they do not care Others do it
because they are afraid of offending
contributors.
Every editor, while using tact in
dealing with contributors, still ought
to lose no opportunity of letting peo-
pie know that editing a newspaper
is a profession and that it is his
business to correct and change arti-
cles which are submitted which are
not in good newspaper form.
In the long run an editor who does
respect himself and his profession viii
win the respect Of his community,
even though at times he may make

ON FARM KITCHEN

A conveniently arranged and equip
ped kitchen means lighter work and
shorter hours for the housekeeper and
her helpers, say household specialists
OF the United States department of
agriculture. who give the following
hints in Farmers Bulletin 6O7. The
Farm Kitchen as a Workshop.
Plenty of light and good air are
essential to good results in the kitchen
and to thS comfort of thos eworking
there.
Running water and drain for carry
ing off waste save the housekeeper
many steps and many hours.
Pantry, dining room and store
rooms should be convenient to the
kitchen and SO far as possible on the
same floor levels.
Floor, walls, ceiling and woodwork
should be made as easy to clean as
possible by oiling, painting, or Gov
ering with suitable washable material
Unfinished wood floors, holdings, and
table tops are poor economy; they are
hard to clean and soon show stains
and signs of wear.
Durable, convenient equipment il

GO TO IT

Get the last tick someone has SAID
Why not? It's just as easy to get
the last one as it is the first. All
it needs is your cattle owners ult1-
mate decision to get all the cattle
dip them, and the thing is accom-
plished before you realize it.
Bigger things than this have been
done.
All opposition to tick eradication IS
nurtured from a selfish point of view.
That mans cattle are turned loose
on other peoples land, they range
wide ana far. He don't want to both
er with gathering them up every Il
days. It takes a little money in hir-
ing help. it takes a little energy and
a little time and besides isn't he his
own boss? Who dares tell him what
to do with his own property.
But, on the other hand by what
power OF reasoning does he assume
the right to spread infectious para
sites over other peoples land to their
disparagement and loss. Who are
these DIRECTORS that they shall die
tate. They own no land and pay no
taxes.
They rear and snarl and gnaw their
teeth against dipping of cattle in de-
se a 1l-
ed to exterminate a friend whose on
Iy virtues is bringing cattle TO an
untimeiy end.
Indifference, lethargy, contentious
/. or ignorance are some Of the signif.-
cant underlying principles of he who
opposes in tts simpless. the eradica-
ton of the tick by the use of the cat
tie dip.

even" in this Way. Nobody ever
gets even" anyway; only nature and
the neral law have control Of the
evening up process, and this process
arises because all Of us in our human
relations have gone out of line.
When you try to even the score"
you only double it. The old law of
"an eye for an eye, and atooth for
tooth" meant, at the very best, two
eyes instead of one two teeth instead
of one doubling the evil instead Of
curing it.
The situation seems to be that, be-
cause Of human folly in months past,
NATURAL law is now operating to bring
matters back into equilibrium. But if
on account of this process another
portion of the industrial organization
undertakes to have its little fling too,
then it only means that natural law

another painful operation, restore the
damage done by the second folly.
All of these matters are within hui
man control. From the war and its
antecedents. to all the consequences
thereof nothing has been inevitable in
the absolute sense; all has originated
in the human viii unwisely directed.
If now human will and wisdom were
directed in cooperation with the law

brief but there would be no relapses.

HOME AGENT WRITES
PLAYLET FOR CLUBS

Club spirits" is the title of play
let for club boys and girls, written
by Mrs. Eleanor Tyree, home demon
stration agent in Allen parish. This
play was given in Oberlin, November
Is, by the club children of the Ober-
lin high school for the purpose OF
raising money to send club children
to the short course which will be held
at the Louisiana state university next
August. The play met with such sue
cess that Mrs. Tyree has been asked
to repeat it at Oberlin and to give
it also at Kinder and Oakdale, two
other towns IN Allen parish that are
interested in home demonstration
work.
The play is we'll worked out in
every detail. It embraces the scope
of work that agents strive to cover.
Modern conyeniences in the home
such as electric lights, water. etc,
are told of indirectly but interesting
~ by means of conversation between
rwo Of the characters, which repres-
ent different phases OF club wo4k.
They tell of the good accomplished
by such clubs and outline the aim and
purposes Of each one of the projects.
This kind of a program serves q
twofold purpose. First it secures the
funds for which it was primarily Civ
en-, and second it pust before the pub
lie the club idea, and the object Of
club work :,

Some Calf

A 555-pound IA month Brahmin
grade calf brought an East Baton
Rouge farmer SIS. He was raised free
from ticks and cost nothing in feed
bills. This animal was a self-made
calf; did his own foraging and sold
on his looks. His dam was a half
grade and his sire a three-quarter
grade Brahmin. Here is a clean pro-
fit of $500 in calf raising. 1t would
take three bales of cotton at twice
current prices, a whole years work
of every hand on the place and lot
Of sleepless nights thinking OF cot
ton fluctuations to compete with re-
suits obtained from raising just one
good calf free from ticks. Yet some
people think the country has gone to
the dogs because the one crop system
and the one mule pillow have been rel
egated into the stone age.

economic instead of warmly human,
there is bound to be inner friction.
And it is this inner friction that ac-
counts for most of the anxiety and
unhappiness of our everyday life.
It is time to utter warning word
both to employers and employees who
consider themselves opposing forces,
and who take advantage Of economic
changes to push the fight one against
the other.
The highest human privilege is to
learn. We are learning now that
what we did last spring when jobs
we're plentiful was wrong. Whenever
we do anything wrong. Nature holds
court and assesses damages. Work
men said: I'VE have got the bosses
where We want them" they quit on
any preteXt; per capita production
decreased. We should have learn
ed something for the consequences
we're not long in coming. But no:
we now hear the same thing from
some employers: The tide is turn
ed: the workmen will have to come
to our terms" This is not getting
even" it is doubling the evil. Why
match one folly by another? Natur-
al law viii as quickly penalize So
ciety for the unwise employer as for
the unwise employee. There are no
classes" there is only human Sd.
ciety We prosper or suffer together.
Let US be wise.
Just let your mind pass back TO con
ditions in the United States at the be-
ginning Of the year. Labor was scar
&c then. Men threw up their Jobs On
the slightest pretext because they
knew they could have their choice OF
five or six other jobs. There was a
competitive bidding for men among
some Of the industries. Changes were
SO frequent and the per capita pro
duction slumped so seriously, that
; anyone who knew anything at all
knew that the time would inevitably
come when those things would have
to be paid for.
At that time, those who nurture the
idea of industrial war" is the normal
condition between employer and EN-
ploye were rather jubilant because
( they had the upper hand. Their tone
was: Now we have got the bosses
where they have got to come to us:
we can do with them what we like.
1t was not wise, it Was not hu
name; it was industrfally suicidal
Worst of all, it revealed in a FLASH
how little we really know about oul
relations one with another.
The time came when for all thii
carelessness everybody had to pay
And everybody is paying little bi
now. You cannot fling broadcast ant
expect the barrel to hold out for thu
baking and you cannot fling time AM
material wages away and expect busi
ness to go on supporting that kim
of thing. Indeed, society itself car
not support that system Of things
and that is where the day Of judg
ment dawns for such things-in sc
ciety itself.
But now what do we see? Why, W
see certain employers adopting pre-
ciseIy the same attitude and shown
precisely the same temper as chal
actedzed the thoughtless Eorkmel
earlier in the year. We see hid lea
signs of a thought like this: 9TH
tide has turned; it is our inning
now; we have got the workers wher
they will have to meet our terms"
It only needs to be stated thus baG
ly to enable everyone to see ho'
wrong it all is.
1t is a very great mistake and
only goes to show how foolish we a
are together.
There is no such thing as "gettin
