Washington, June 20-America'.
supply of physicians is $4,000 short
to; ayiod an acute shortage every ct,
fort must be made to induce young
men of the country to study medicine
That was the message delivered al
the opening session of the American
Institute of Homeopathy by DR.. Roy
Upham, of Brooklyn, N. Y, first vice
president of the institute.
So great is the need Of young
medicoes. DR.. Upham said, that the
wives of the institutes members have
organized the Wo1nan's Nationa
Homeopathic League to assist medical
students through college. Long and
aralous study and the absence Of
quick financial return combine to dis
couras medical students, Upham said

SUMMER SCHOOL
FOR METHOD|STS
Nine Days Program to be Rem
dered at Martin Methodist
Church of Great Import

The following is an outline of the
program of the Summer School of
the Memphis conference, to be held
at Martin, June 8 to Is:
A full course of Sunday school
teacher training, under the leader
ship Of experts, will occupy the
morning hours from to IL a. m.
each day. This will be rare oppor-
tunity for Sunday school workers.
Beginning with Thursday morning,
there will be a series of lectures at
IL o'clock each day and at 8 p. m.
The following are the speakers:
DR.. John A. Rice, of Southern Uni
versity, Dallas, Texas, three lect-
ures. DR.. Ed F. Cook, Of Scarrit
Bible Training School, Kansas City,
Mo-, will deliver two lectures and
and preach twice on Sunday. DIR. G.
NJ. Mcconnell of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, an expert on the rural
church problem, will deliver two
lectures.
DR.. Charles L. Goodell, pastor of
Calvary Methodist church, New
York City, will deliver four lectures.
The afternoon will be given to re-
creation, study of the various cour-
ses and other matters of general in
terest.
This is rare opportunity for the
people of Dresden. 1t is suggested
that they organize groups to attend
from home each day, taking their
lunches and returning home for the
night. This will give a much better
attendance than we can expect other
wise.

Three Children in
PrecariuOs Condition

Three children in the family OF
Lon Holmes, residing between Duke-
dom and Fulton, have been in a most
urecarious condition that has bali
fled dozen of the best physicians
Of that section, until few days ago,
when it was decided the little fell
lows were all afflicted with conges-
ton of the stomach, brought on
doubtless, by eating some green fruit
or something that did not agree with
them.
All three were taken about the
same time. They were subject to pc
culiar spells which came upon them
several times during the day for q
number of days. They were carried
to both Mayfield and Fulton and a
dozen physicians became interested
in the unusual case, and finally it
was agreed that they were suffering
from congestion Of the stomach. All
were reported better on Wednesday.

Third Annual Wool Sale Here
Saturday and Election of Of
ficers. Paul Brock, Sec'y

Forty-seven members of the Weak
ley County Sheep Growers Associa-
ton assembled at Dresden last Sat
urday with the years wool clip to Of
fer for sale. The wool was weighed
and graded in the forenoon, Mr.. Nc
Loud Of the Division of Extension,
doing the grading Of the amount
brought in 1925 pounds were clear
of burrs and graded clear; 1043 light
buried, 764 pounds medium buried
and 215 pounds of hard buried. The
Springfield Wooling Mill Co. was
the successful bidder, buying the en-
tire lot and paying 18Rc, 15hc,
12hc and SIC, respectively. This
price, you will note, is higher than
many have received locally. Of the
local buyers, Mr.. B. J. Byars was
the highest bidder, he bidding 18c,
1870 and lie.
Taken as whole, the farmers
were we'll pleased with the price and
manner Of conducting the sale. Dur
ing the day the association held a
business meeting, transacting some
business and the election of officers
for another year. Mr.. o. T, Brown
was elected chairman, and Paul
Brock secretary. The association will

ment to the growers present in hay

ANAWARDED
CUSTODY OF CHILD.
Writ is Dismissed and Rev.
Ryan Taxed With Costs of
Cause. Long Drawn-Out

There have been many habeas cor
pus trials held in the court house at
Dresden, but the one occupying the
most time was that last Friday and
Saturday Of Rev. Harry G. Ryan,
pastor Of the First Methodist church
of Fulton, VS.. his wife, Mrs. Claude
Ryan, for the custody Of their nine
year-old son, Nathaniel. Judge FL
kins, in brief, but pointed decision,
dismissed the writ and placed the
custody Of the child with Mrs. Ryan,
who is now at the home of her ia
Their, Mr. Vowel, near Martin.
Taking the evidence was started
in this now celebrated case Friday
morning and finished Saturday just
before noon. Court did not adjourn
Friday evening until after 7 o'clock.
There was no argument by counsel
representing either the relator or
Mrs. Ryan.
Rev. Ryan is nephew of Mr.. l..
M. Ryan of Martin. He was practi-
cally reared on farm in the vicini-
ty of Martin and graduated from
McFerrin. He has been licensed
minister for ten years, and the fact
that he was the pastor at Fulton, one
Of the best charges in the Memphis
conference, goes to show that he is
man of more than ordinary ability.
Mrs. Ryan is the daughter of Mr..
Alfred Vowel, one of the foremost
citizens of the county.
In deciding the case Judge Elkins
said, almost with emotion, that it
was a most unfortunate affair; that
the parties were mismated and that
it was evident they would never live
together again; that, therefore, in
deciding the case he would do so
solely for the good of the boy, for
getting the wishes Of both parents
in the premises. He stated he did
not wish to review the evidence, as
he did not want to wound the feel
ings of any one, for the mention Of
the names of Vowel and Ryan in
Weakley county always inspires con-
fidence, so highly are the two fami-
lies held in the esteem of the citi-
zens of the county.
An order was issued by the court
that the father have the privilege of
seeing the boy, but that he is not to
be taken from the state and beyond
the jurisdiction of the court by Rev.
Ryan.

BETTER SCHOOL "a
C|L|T|Es REQUIRED.
Dresden School Building Posi-
lively Inadequate. We Must
Have Better Buildings

In every call for every cause UNI
der the sun Dresden has responded
most literally and generously to help
all kinds of foreign demands for fl
nancial aid. We have gone over the
top in every instance, we believe,
while here at home things that we
actually need have been given no
concern.
We have been too busy helping
others and too occupied giving to
outside causes to keep our own house
in order. .....
Let's call a halt-and
Help ourselves some.
We positively cannot continue a
school here that is a credit to the
town and community with present
school facilities. No school man Of
ability and reputation wants to come
to the county seat of the best coun-
ty in the United States and teach
school in a barn. 1t is true Mr..
Chunn has agreed to try it for one
year, but-mark the prediction -
Mr.. Chunn will not remain in Dres-
den after the first year and occupy
the present school building.
We are amply able to build
school building here that will, at
least, compare kind of favorably with
some of our rural school buildings in
this county. The fact is, we must do
it. We are sending too much money
away and we are losing too many
good citizens who want to come to
Dresden, but who do not because we
haven't the school facilities.
Now, the Enterprise don't want
to be understood as opposing any
of the other calls that have been
made upon us for financial aid.
Those familiar with the facts know
that the owner of this paper has not
been a Stacker in these calls. Nor
are we going to turn a deaf ear to
those of the future, but
Before he does so as literally as in
the past he is first going to do some-
thing for the suffering children of
school age of Dresden and communi-
ty. You may as well smoke that in
your pipe-we don't intend to see
these bright boys and girls suffer for
educational advantages and at the
same time send huge Gums away to
others.
A bond issue of something like
$4,000 will build us school build
ing in Dresden that will meet pres
ent and future needs for SO years.
Let's have an expression from some
of our live citizens-and for Gods
sake, let the dead ones keep their
mouths shut!

80 Rods Fence Wire
Stolen Monday Night

Mr.. lump Simmons, residing in the
vicinity of Como, was here Tuesday
morning looking for couple OIL
-8Orods-of fence wire, stolen
from his farm during Monday night.
Mr.. Simmons learned of a wagon
that was seen coming in the direction
of Dresden, and in the wagon was
roll or bundle of something securely
covered and hidden from public
view.
He got line of the direction this
wagon left Dresden and made
search Of that section, but we are
not informed as to the success OF his
mission. So much alleged stolen
goods has been found in this vicinity
recently that citizens who find they
have been robbed naturally look this
way for their property.
