ASKS FARMERS TO help
Prof. n. A. Morgan Makes Appeal for
Contribution Of Grain for Near East
Relief

\ DR.. H. A. Morgan, President of the
University of Tennessee, recently
issued the following address to the
farmers of Tennessee in behalf OF
the campaign to raise $4,000 bushels
of corn and 1000 bushels Of wheat
In the State for the relief of the
starving people of the Near East.
ITO the Farmers of Tennessee: !:
The Near East Relief organization, in
corporated by act Of Congress in
1919, and promoted by many of the
most substantial citizens of Ameri-
ca, has asked Tennessee to contrib
ute $4,000 bushels of corn to the
starving people populations of the
countries Of the Near East region.
1--WE have 25O,OOO farms in Ten
nessee. Surely $4,000 of this number
can contribute to this Christian en-
terprise the $4,000 bushels, which
would not be more than a bushel of
corn per farm. 1t is hoped that thru
temporary organization of the cfti-
zens of each community of the state
that this contribution will he made
and ready for shipment under the
general instructions OF those in
charge Of the Near East Relief Serv-
Ice in Tennessee by November Is.
"Your hearty cooperation in the
land assistance in the
will be most helpful.

One of the most enjoyable occas
ions of the season was the Rehab
party given Saturday evening in the
General Assembly Hall of the Re
habilitation section of the T. P. l.
This party took the form of stunt
social, as each class gave a special
stunt gotten up for the occasion, and
to say that all the stunts were enjoy.
ed by the many spectators is putting
1t mildly, for is was pronounced to
be one of the best staged entertain
ments seen here in a long time.
The Commercial Glass won first
prize by their clever preso"t .'n of
a 'Humanophone' with 8. F. Appling
as Demonstration, and musical num-
mers by T. F. Tipps, E. B. Agee,
Grady Hilton, Homer Reeves, A. T.
Parsons, John Queen and VIM. A..
Cherry. Bernard Murphree and
Clarence Nichols acted as Detective
attendants.
The shoe shop division won sicond
prize by their presentation of bur-
lesque on Chapel exercises which
created a laugh from beginning to
end.
Mark Nix impersonated Mr.. j. M.
Hatfield who leads in the chapel ex-
ercises; Roy Nicks took the part of
Mr. Sidely. Carey Sears impersonat-
ed Mrs. Northern; Lonnie Ross
May, Mrs. Kirkman Alton Medlin,
Miss Trayelstead; Junior Hendley,
Miss Lansden; Ivan Smith, Mr.. Jerni-
gan; Samuel O'Neal, Mr.. Hughes;
James d. Thompson Mr. Hatfield;
James Parrish, Jr., Federal Board
representative and Dan H. Weather
ford as Mr.. s. L. Gipson, Co-ordinat-
on. Several others acted the part of
students and sang for the chapel ex-
ercises.
The individual stunts given by the
agricultural department were by
Chas. Reed, who as black faced
comedian, gave two dances, and an
other pleasing feature put on by this
was the contortion per-
formance by Buford Hargrove.
Mr.. Davidson conducted very
unique quizz on animal husbandry, /
which furnished much entertainment
for the crowd.
Another most enjoyable feature
was quartet rendered by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Russell. John Queen. and

PUTNAM COUNTY
CRIMINAL COURT
Now In Regular Session. Big
Docket This Term

The regular term OF the Putnam
County Criminal Court convened
Tuesday morning, with Judge ]. M.
.Gardenhire 4 presiding, and Attorney
General ]. Ridley Mitchell and his
assistant Mr. B. A. Butler, looking
after the States interests.
The Fall term of the court Is al
ways one of the largest of the whole
year, and this time the docket is ex-
ceptionally heavy, due partly to a
number of cases having been con-
tinued from the Spring term. A large
number of people from all parts Of the
county were here Tuesday morning
to answer the summonses which ha0
been issued for their attendance as
jurors, witnesses, etc.
Judge Gardenhire charged the Jury
in his usual strong and somprehens-
i've style, emphasi ling the majesty
of the law and its foundation, with
out which we could have no civiliza-
stiOn.
It is doubtful If the business Of the
court can be dispatched within tho
time allotted, and there may have to
,be a special term called for later
date. However Judge Gardenhire
may be depended ON to do his utmost
to facilitate the work in order that
special term may not be necessary.

A WORLDWIDE
PROBLEM
Unemployment Conference to
Be Held Soon

"Our problem here at home is all
the harder to solve because 1t is not
by any manner of means our prob
lem alone. Unemployment is world
twide."
Discussing efforts to relieve the
situation, Secretary Davis said that
the employment service of the De-
partment of Labor was doing all It
could TO place workers in pAsitions.
During the harvest" he explained,
sit sent between $4,000 and $4,000
men to the farms and kept them NOV
ing as the harvest season moved
northward.
"The unemployment service is al
present taking care Of the threshing
and corn cruising situation, wherever
additional men are needed for this
purpose. --a--A
Cotton and woolen goods already
show signs Of recovery, and there IL
scarcely plant in the country turn
ing out silk hosiery that is not work
ing at full or over time.
silk fabrics are on the move.
These things speak for themselves,
and may be speaking the same Ian
guage as the figures showing that
more garages than houses have been
built in recent months. Here is an
other fact with its own significance.
Shoe factories seem to be working
for the most part on fancy high-pric-
ed women's shoes. This may be &C
counted for by the further fact that
men now out of the hardy forms of
employment are not shoe buyers. The
demand for these will come when the
more staple grades of shoes for men
will come into larger demand. This
cannot be long delayed. The situ-
alton begins to brighten"
Secretary Hoover may be named as
chairman of conference.
A definite date for the unemploy-
ment conference was said to be still
undecided, although Sept. rs now
appears most probable. Acceptances
are understood to have been received
by Secretary Hoover from thirty
conferees who will represent the
country at the conference. Among
those who will attend, it has been
indicated, are Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation
of Labor, John l.. Lewis, President
of the United Mine Workers Of
America, and Charles M. Schwab,
Chairman of the Bethlehem Corpora
tion.
Whether Mr.. Hoover will partici-
pate in the deliberations, it is be-
lieved will depend upon President
Harding, who may name him as chair
man of the conference or request
him to attend merely in his official
capacity. e s-

U NIQUE
ENTERTAINMENT
Tuesday Evening At City School
Auditorium

One OF the most unique and tho.
roughly pleasing recitals ever given
in CoOkeville was presented on Tues
day evening at the City School Audi.
torium by Miss Elizabeth Spencer,
soprano and Mr.. Emil Bertl, pianist.
The recital was an artistic success in
every respect, and the Womack Drug
Co., is to be congratulated for secur-
ing these capable and charming art
lists for an appearance here.
Probably a number of the people
who attended the recital were at first
puzzled and disappointed when they
discovered a phonograph cabinet oc-
cupying the tenter of the stage.
They hardly were reassured when
Mr.. Bertl appeared on the stage and
announced that Miss spencer had
been delayed and, rather than dis
appoint the audience, RE-CREA-
TION as he called it of Miss Spencer
would be played on the phonograph.
Our suspicious were confirmed. We
were to hear only a photograph. But
little did we dream what an amaz-
ing phonograph it was. Miss Spen-
GERS golden notes, emanating from
the grille of the New Edison, scared
over the auditorium in all their beau
ty. Suddenly we heard another voice,
or rather the same voice, coming
from the rear of the stage. Miss
Spencer had arrived and was sing
in unison with her PUtCREATED
self. She continued singing while
walking toward the New Edison. The
effect of the two voices, of the same
exquisite quality, coming from two
different places, was indeed new
sensation and brought all under it's
magis SPELL Miss Spencer reached
the side of the New Edison and, dur
ing the remainder of the song, paused
from time to time, apparently at ran
dom, and permitted her RE-CREATED
performance to be heard alone. This
gave an opportunity to compare one
with the other, and it Is no more than
just to state that there was not the
slightest shade of difference between
voice and original
voice.
Nm the course OF the evening SINH
lar tests were made ny Mr.. Emil
Bertl with the same miraculous re-
suits. There must have been
slight difference in volume when the
artists stopped singing or playing but
it was not noticeable for the tone
which came from the cabinet was
round and luscious with all of the VI
brant, pulsating quality of that which |
came from Miss Spencer's throat
and the piano of Mr.. Bertl. 1t was
)nly by watching the singers lips or |
he piano keys that one could be |
sure when they sang or played and
when they did not
This proof was convincing. If 1t
we're not, another proof was offered.
After Miss Spencer had commenced
o sing one number, the lights were
,urned off-ostensibly so the audi
nee could not watch the singers
ips. 1t did not seem difficult to de-
ermine in the dark when the singer
ang and when she did not. The
writer was pretty sure about it him.
elf uutil the lights were turned on
gain and it was discovered that Miss
spencer was not on the stage at all,
nd that the New Edison alone had
cen heard.

Kansas City, Jan. S.-The body of O. V. Dodge, vice president of the Midland Life Insurance Company, was found early this morning on the yard of his country home near here. With in few. feet of the dead mans right hand was a revolver with one of it's cartridges fired. Another revolver with all of it's cartridges intact, was also found about 10 feet away. A ladder stood against the window of his bed room.
 Police operatives have had the case since early this morning. The gener- al theory is that Dodge saw prowIer attempting to enter the building and had slipped outdoors to prevent his entrance. When Dodge was seen. it is surmised that the prowler shot him and threw the revolvers near the body to build up a suicide theory.
 A neighbor told police that he saw man leave the Dodge yard by auto noble during the night.

GOVT. MAKES WATER
 SAFE FOR TRAVELLERS
(By United Press ]

Washington, Jan. S.-Within the last 12 months the danger to railway travellers of infection with typhoid fever, dysentery, and other water borne diseases has been reduced to minimum throughout the greater part of the country by the cooperation of the U. S. Public Health Service with the different state boards of health in the testing of the water us- ed on railway trains for drinking and cooking. And, within the next few months, similar protection will be af- forded to passengers on river and lake steamers and to ocean steamships sailing from American ports. This will tend to end the severe outbreaks of typhoid fever that have from time to time been traced to ships, especial ly to excursion boats, as we'll as to the probably more numerous but far less easily traced illnesses of railway travellers from similar pollution.
 "The work" said Surgeon General Cummings, of the U. S. Public Health Service, was really begun in June of last year, when at the convention of state and territorial health of flcers, in session at Washington. l plan was decided upon whereby the service was to cooperate with the states in reducing typhoid fever either by sending them sanitary engineers to investigate their water supplies or by helping them to organize state divis- lons of sanitary engineering to look after the work"
