to relish the slaughter of the inno-

among men or beast is never alto

IN some respects is quite necessary.

"Ho, mother, here is meat" The
tlgress did not have any compunc-

law always was that of the Jungle
and also that of self preservation,
and this writer admits that the
Buddha in this instance wasn't wise.
That Jim Lowery was reformed

Schools to Make
Exhibits at Fair

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Campbell,
teachers of the Earl's school, in dis
trlct No. 8, have made application
for an exhibit booth at the fair for
displaying a school exhibit. These
two loyal educators of the county
have been teaching a very success
full summer school for the past few
weeks and recently have had the
pupils preparing material for a
school exhibit. This good work will
be seen by the many fair visitors
Sept. 21-24.
Prof. W. D. Barron, principal of
the Chestnut Glade High School,
in behalf of his teachers and pupils,
made application for space to put
on school work display at the fair.
This school and community never
fail good opportunity to boost
their progressive community.
Through these teachers, with the
cooperation of the parents one of
the largest corn and pig clubs to be
found in any school in the county
has been in working order this
summer. Also a girls sewing club,
with AZ members, done most excel
lent work at their regular meetings
this summer, The ladies of the
community will also put on a COM
munity booth at the fair, making
the community represented in each
phase of exhibits.
The Gardner community is to be
congratulated in having Prof J. O.
Atkins back with them to teach
their. school this year. While Prof.
Atkins was attending the teachers
meeting, a formal application was
made in behalf Of his teachers and
pupils for space to put on school
Exhibit at the fair. Such move as
his not only speaks well for a
community, but is an indication that !
he teacher has the school and COM :
lunity at heart.

THE THING NEEDED

The Enterprise is happy to note
the move made in this county to
perfect an organization among the
farmers-The Farm Bureau. SINH
lar organizations are in force in
many of the best agricultural states
and are solving the farmers prob
lens, just as it will do in this coun-
ty it the farmers unite with the To-
cal organization. There can be but
one criticism-the membership fee
is not half what it should be if
the Bureau does for farmers what
it can do.
We have long since passed the
stage where it was necessary to i'm
press upon our agriculturalists that
they must be organized. They are
today the only worth while element
in the whole world not organized.
This, if for no other reason, ought
to be convincing proof of the ne
cessity of organization among the
farming class. But that is no longer
question to argue.
We want to see this splendid,
helpful organization grow and grow
until it embraces in its membership
every farmer, his wife and all their
sons and daughters in Weaklev
county-in Tennessee-in the Unit
ed States. When that is done farm
ing will come into it's own. 4
No individual, no matter what
his line of business, can solve the
problems daily confronting him.
1t takes concert of action, consulta-
ton, cooperation, team-work-or-
ganization. 1
The Enterprise sincerely pledges
he Farm Bureau its active support
md it's best endeavors.

thing with a commercially uplifting
effect. In times cones by, tradition

The manner in which the obdu-
rate Tennessee dove-shooters have
replied to the Banners preachments
on this subject brings conviction
that nothing would reach their
stony hearts, but it might be profit
able to introduce buttermilk philos-
ophy in the public schools with the
hope of saving the coming genera
ton.
Some of the dove-shooters in
Tennessee are inclined to insinuate
that the editor of the Banner:

BUTTERMIK PHILOSOPHY

Jim Lowry, known in Texas as
"1hc Butternlilk PhiGspohcr" per
petrated what follows in his contri-
button to last Sundays Houston
Post:
The dove season opened yester-
day and will continue until Dec. B.
This means that doves may be
killed without fear of prosecution.
We make the announcement with
the hope that we may persuade all
people not to kill the pretty harm
less birds. The dove is not a de-
structive bird and only asks few
seed for its living. This bird never
fights and is so peaceful and harm
less that it has long been our en-
blem of peace. The bird is too small
to have great food value, and about
the only excuse man can give for
killing a dove is sport. Surely there
can not be much sport in killing a
pretty, harmless bird When boy
this writer shot dove, and never
can we forget the look the wounded
bird gave when we picked it up
from the ground And many times
since then have we heard the sad
call Of the dead birds mate. Spare
the pretty, harmless doves.

DANCE! ESCAPE FOR RECIPE

Arthur Symons, the great English poet, in an article on Dancing as Soul Expression in the Forum for October asks:
 Can it be, in any sense, possible to conjecture that the origin Of dancing came from the desire to escape rom one self into an imaginary world In that case, it might also have been 9. form of madness, as one finds it in the Dionysian intoxIcation at the Attic festivals, when wine and the .ies, the sa.yrs and the maenads were closely linked together.
 Certainly, even now, one of the best dancing; under fixed conditions EflG means in escaping from ones self is only one. The question is; can one ever escape from ones self? There are so many means.
