Mid the hills and valley so
green,
Is the place that's sweetest and

Of any on earth | ween.

Of the west, with its harvest

OF the South with its cotton

Of the Gulf. where the mighty

But none has painted the picture
That is so pleasing to me.
AS the shadowy wales and sun

Of beautiful Tennessee.

Where nature smiles and the

Jackson County Can Now
Establish Co. Library.

Every county in Tennessee
that wants one may now have a
county free library, which serves
a whole county, just as a city
library serves it city, reaching
every nlau, woman and child in
every corner of the county
This is made possible by the
now county library law passed
in April by the last legislature.
1t is an enabling act based part
ly on the successful methods in
operation in Ohio, Maryland, Cal
ifornia and a number of other
progressive states. 1t autherises
county courts to establish and
maintain county libraries for all
communities not now served by
public library.
The main or central library, in
most cases, is located at the
county seat, the largest city, or
the town with larges public lib
rary.
There are branch libraries or
reading rooms in all small towns,
and deposit sations in country
store postoffice and other con-
venient places. Collections of
books are sent to every village
and rural school and frequently
exchanged. The farm dwellers
are not overlooked; they are
served, in many instance, by
book wagons or motor trucks
containing shelves of books, res
embling the R. F. D. mail wagon
sent through the county from
main library and stopping at
farm houses to fill request for
books and to collect those which
have been read. If farmer
sends a postal card to the county
librarian, the books he desires
will be sent to him by parcel post.
A county libaray is established
by the citizens of a county on
their own initiative. following
certain simple requirement of
law.
An inquiry for information ad-
dressed John Trotwood Moore,
State Librarian, Nashville will
bring a prompt responds.

EX-SERVICE MEMS BUREAU
ESTABLISHED AT KNOX
VILE BY STATE.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 81,
Through efforts of the American
Legion and members of recent
legislature, World war veterans
of Tennessee now have an insh-
tuition that functions as the
clearing house for informatation
and complaints and serves as the
connecting link between the ex-
service man and the governmen-
tai red tape offices in Washing
ton.
Within in the next few weeks
the new Ex Service Mems Bu'
reau, with Guy H. May, state
adjudant of the Legion, as
director, has been set up in
Knoxville. Work has started
with rash and requests for
information and adjustment of
claimes, etc.. are pouring IN
daily.
The Bereau was made possible
by the enactment OF a bill by the
recnet legislature, which carried
an appropriation Oslo, 600 a year
for a period of two years. The
bill was sponsored by the Leg
ion and befriended by Gov, Alf
Taylor, who appointed Mr.. May
director, upon recommendation
of the Legion Executive Commit
tee.
An investigation made by the.
Legion showed that hundreda of
deserving World War veterans
in Tennessee, especially in the
rural sections, had no knowledge
of the compensation offered by
the government to those who
were disabled in the service.
1t was a determined that these
deserving veterans should not be
bereft of the governmental assist
ance due them and it was de-
cided that a Bureau to investi-
gate these claims and otherwise
assist EX-Service men should be
established Consequently, the
Legion got busy, with the re-
suit that the Ek- Service Mems
Bureau is now an accomplished
fact.
A nationwide search has been
launched, through the assistance
Of the American Legion. for
David Roskind. of Nashville,
who disappeared from his home
March 20, this year.
Roskind wat a devil dog"
serving with the Marines in the
memorable battle of Chateau
Therry, having enlisted in
March. 1920 He was in France
for a year, gas and shell shock
is believed to have effected his
mind.
He is % years old, 5 feet and
5 inches in height, has dark
brown hair, brown eyes. far
complexion and bears a scar
upon his right temple.
Any information regarding
Roskind's whereabouts will be
greatefully received by his faith

Maj. Schley Delighted With
Tip To The Upper
Cumberland River.

Maj Schley, who has charge
OF the improvement of Cumber.
land river, has the following to
say relative to the recent trip
ne made this upper section.
The trip has been a pleasure
as well as help to me 1t was
a pleasure to meet under such
circumstance the prominent men
OF Nashville. Carthage, Gaines
boro and other places along the
river, who appreciate the impor-
auce of completing the improve
ment of the Cumberland river
and of building up its commerce.
1t has been helpful to me to dis.
cuss informally and frankly with
them some of the broad national,
economic and engineering prob
lens involved; to talk to the
farmers along the river about
their crops and live stock and
their means of getting them to
market, and to see some ST the
farm land backing the river
banks.
Lock No. 8, near West Point,
now having commenced, after a
long period of inactivity in con-
struction of locks and dams on
the upper river, the good people
of that sectiou fell there is now
hope that congress will approp-
riate funds sufficient to carry the
improvement completion within
a reasonable lengh of time. OF
the project is worthy, and con-
gress has said that it is, it would
seem to follow naturally that it
is worthy of early completion.
so far as the engineering
features alone are concerned,
lock and dam No. 8 should be
completed in two or three work
ing seasons after the present
summer. The next lock in the
upper river can be commenced
as soon as lock and dam L in the
lower river are completed. thus
relieving construction plant for
transfer up the river. This
should be some time during next
summer, or summer after. Sim
ilarly, the next lock projected
can be commenced when the
plant can be transferred from
lock and dam F in the lower
river. The time of this transfer,
however, is too far in the future
to predict.
"The construction Of three
locks at a time is about as much
as can be undertaken with the
government plant now existing
and projected. If funds should
be appropriated by congress
more rapidly than necessary for
the full use of this construction
plant, more rapid progress could
be made by constructing ad-
ditional locks through private
construction companies.
Il hope that similar trip can
be made to visit the lower river
in order that those who are in"
terested may have an opportunity
to discuss informally the prob
lens which are yet to be solved
in that part of the river. 1t is
important that the improved
part of the river be connected
with the Ohio and thence with
the whole Mississippi system in
order that full benefits will be
derived from the work already
accomplished.

WATCH IN vest POCKET
SAVES LIFE OF TOM
LANCASTER.

when a bullet from the gun OF

tering it in pieces. The shooting
was the climax of a raid by So.
Cox. Chief of Police Graham and
officers Postom and Isbell, in a
cane brake a few hundred yards
above the ford at Ewing's Ford.
Late yesterday afternoon the
officers received a tip that two
men had a liquor cache" in the
cane brake just above the Ford.
About nine o'clock last night Eq
Cox ond the other officers left
the city in car with a view of
catching the alleged bootlegger.
Carefully making their way along
the lovers lane the officers came
upon Daniel Hix and Tom Lam
caster. The men were near their
Ford car when the officers arrived
The men were surrounded and
So. Cox ordered one of the officer
TO search the men. Nothing was
found on Hix, but long pistol
in a scabbard and similar to an
army gun was under Lancaster's
vest and also a peice of rubber
hose several feet long. Just about
the time the officers started on
the search. two woman and three
men, are said to have also arriv-
ed They were, it is alleged Wick
Pearson, ---- Kennedy,
man called Shorty" and Hix's
wife and Kennedy's wife. These
together with Hix were charged
with trespass. while a charge of
carrying a concealed deadly wea-
pom was placed against Lancasrer
The bunch were placed in the
officers automobile and brought
to the city where the charges
were registered against them.
1t was just as the car was
about to return toward the
city that Lancaster made an ef-
fort to ascape. He started to leap
from the automobile, but officer
Postom seized him by the collar
of his coat. Lancaster was max
ing a desperate effort to clear
himself from his coat when So
Cox drew his gun. and fired after
the prisoner refused to desist his
efforts to escape. The bullet
went true to its mark but fort
unately Lancaster's watch was
Immediately in front of his heart
and thus saved his life. He fell
prone to the ground and at first
the officers believed the man was
mortally wounded, Examination
revealed that he was uninjured
but that the watch was demolish-
ed.
After placing Hix and Lancaster
in Jail and recognizing the other
fortheir appearance this morning
before So. Cox, the officers re-
turned to the cache" where.
some distance away neatly hid
den in the cane brake was found
a keg of moonshine containing
about thirty gallon of White
Mule" This was brought to the
city to be held as evidence.
The piece of rubber hose found
on ,ancaster was used in drawing
the liquor from the keg it is al
legged.
It is also alleged by the officers
that the two menhave been de-
fying the law for some time. and
that they have made threats that
mo officer" could take them
and they were too slick" for
the officers. For some time they
have been closely watched. and
this vigilance eliminated last
night in their arrest.
