RBYlSCRUCCS KILLED

The many Cookeville friends Of Irby
Echruggs, federal prohibition enforce
ment officer, were shocked to hear Of
his death which occurred near Knox
vile last Saturday morning, as the
result of wounds inflicted by depu.
ty sheriff with whom he and other of.
ficers had been making capture OF
whiskey. Schruggs shot and killed
his assailant and was then taken to
. knoxville hospital, dying of the
wounds few hours lat r.
The. trouble it appears arose over
the deputy sheriff. whose name was
Fuller. wanting a, drink of the cap
tured whiskey and schruggs' refusal
to allow him to have it. It is also
reported that the deputy had made q
proposition to split the 100 gallons
of whiskey fifty, fifty with the federal
officers.
Irby Schruggs was we'll and favor
ably known in Cookeville having
made this town his headquarters for
two or three years while assisting in
raids In and near this section. He
had been in the internal revenue
service for some years and was well
liked by all his associates He was
native of Giles county, and his re-
mains were inferred at Pulaski. his
former home, on Tuesday.

new POWER Line
TO BURGESS FALLS
To be Completed Within Six
Months. Power Will be
All-Sufflcient

tt is certainly gratifying to all
sCookeville citizens to knowsth the
sale. of the city's Water and Light
bonds has been completed, and that
work will begin on the development
of Burgess Falls without any further
delay. This means, so we are in
formed, that Cookeville will have
power and light from the new plant
within the next six months at the
latest and as much earlier than this
as possible. An engineer has been
engaged and will be here this week
to begin work on the line between
town and the falls, and on building the
dam. Nothing surmountable will b,
allowed to interfere with this import
ant work, the consummation Of which
will bring to us nominal cost, all
the, power and light that we can use,
and then some. The plan is to har-
ness enough water power for present
and near future heeds, by building a
four-foot dam, and al the town grows
and requires it, to add to the origi-
nal $50 horsepower plant until there
is enough to supply city of 25,OO0
population, which Cookeville may
have some of these days. The pres
ent power plant will remain where it
will serve as an auxiliary in case it
;e oaadad at apv timo
The plans for our future water
supply has not been completely
worked out as yet, but it is safe to
say that an arrangement will, be made
at an early date to bring water here
in sufficient quantity to meet all re-
quirements. The authorities have
two or three propositions whereby
this may be done, and as soon as
they can determine beyond doubt
which proposition will prove the best
for the interests of the city at large,
they will go to work and bring us
good water in quantities to meet all
needs for the future.

SCHOOL BONDS
VOTED SATURDAY
Citizens eff the Nineteenth Dist.
Show Progress in Spirit
And Precept

The progressive citizens of the
Nineteenth District OF Putnam coun.
ty won a splendid victory in the spec
ial school bond election held last
Saturday, by polling decisive sr-
firmative vote for the issuance of
$4,000 in bonds for the purpose of
erecting a new and up-to-date high
school building.
Practically the full voting strength
of the district participated in the
election, which was especially nota-
BILE for the number of women voters,
many of whom not only voted their
js. Eidual convictions, but worked
.eroically for the success of the bond
issue which will mean so much to
their boys and girls. A total Of more
than 500 votes were polled at the
election.
The Nineteenth District of which
the progressive town of Algood is the
logical, geographical and recognized
center, can we'll afford to build and
maintain modern high school, such
as they propose to erect, for 1t has
property valuation of about$1 ,000,-
900 and the additional tax that a
$4,000 bond issue will impose will
scarcely be felt, and the incalculable
benefits to be derived therefrom,
would certainly more than recon-
pence the taxpayers, from the small
est to the largest, even if they had
to make slight sacrifice, which they
will not be called on to do. The ac-
tion taken Saturday in this election
was simply another demonstration of
the progressive spirit which is SLOW
ly but surely making itself felt in.
this section, and is splendid ex-
ample for other communities of the
county, and we have no doubt but
that it will have a wholesome effect
in influencing other districts to pro-
,gress along the same lines.
While the bond issue in the 1877 !
had strong opposition composed OF
some good, substantial citizens, it is
the current opinion that the MAORI
ty of these have already become rec
onciled to the verdict rendered by
the voters and win fal lin line to help
in making the newly created school
district model one, and one of which
they may all feel justly proud. The
Herald congratulates the Noble
on the progressive spir-
it displayed in this move which can
not but be conducive. not only to
great and lasting good, for its pres
ent and future population, but will
doubtless cause other communities to
"go and do likewise"

HELP FOR THE
STARVING CHINESE
Letter From State Chairman OF
Relief Board Who Asks
Immediate Aid
May 2, 1921.

Dear Friend:
AS Chairman OF the Tennessee
Campaign, l am writing to beg your
help in the effort to raise money for
the Chinese Famine sufferers. We
are seeking to collect the sum or
100000 in Tennessee for this cause.
Both President Wilson and Presi-
dent Harding have issued messages
strongly urging the people to respond
generously to this appeal. Our own
Governor Taylor has recently done
1.-THE same thing. We have been de-.
layed in getting before the people
cause we felt that the drive for the
starving children, of Europe had the
right of way. This drive has been
successfully accomplished and we
hope that the people may now as
magnanimously RESPOND to the pite-
GUS plea of China's starving millions.
| We definitely ask that in every
chuI ch in the State, collection be
taken on. May 18th. We hope that
wherever it is possible, the sermon
on that day will be devoted to this
appeal. We would urge also that the
Sunday School children be given an
opportunity to contribute, and that
your communities, the Lodges and
Clubs and Movies be solicited to
make some definite response either
in the way Of collection or benc-
lift.
1t is not possible to overstate tie
need. In Northern China little girl
babies are being sold for less money
than a penny apiece, and Chinese
girls are sold into prostitution at Z
dime a head.
Ev4ry humane instinct and Christ
ian impulse urges that we reach out
a helping hand.
May We not count on your co-ope-
ration? All contributions should b
forwarded to Mr.. Vance J. Alexander.
State Treasurer. care Of American
National Bank, Nashville. Tenn.
With cordial esteem, am,
Faithfully yours,
(Signed) Jas. I. Vance,
q State Chairman.

MIDDLE TENN. MILLS

We call the attention of our read
ers to the big display advertisements
of the Middle Tennessee Mills, ap-
pearing In this issue. This concern
caters especially to the dealers in
this section, and the capacity of their
mills is such that they can supply
ell needs of the trade with variety
of grades Of -four, meal and feed pro-
ducts, at the most reasonable prices.
Two of Cookeville's enterprising
business men, R. L. Farley and A. G..
Maxwell, are interested in these
mills, and will personally look after
the interests of dealers and consum-
ers in this section.

IT'S DANGEROUS NOW

Were you ever walking along
country road looking for a life and
have some one deliberately pass you
up with an empty machine? You
remember how you berated that
fellow through your clenched teeth,
and vowed you'd get even some day.
Now, the world has gone so wrong
these days we've got to take a differ
emit attitude as it is certainly risky
business for an auto driver to pick up
a stranger on the roads. 1t is getting
back to that state of affairs of ancient
times when robbers and thugs in
tested the highways, and made travel
over them treacherous for anyone
without ample protection. Possibly
there is less of it around here than
in some other parts of the country,
but we have no means of knowing
when the holdup epidemic is going to
reach these parts. SoSdon't be toe
hasty in blaming the fellow if he
throws her in high and leaves you to
foot it behind. Of course, if he yells
"Hello, there Bill" and keeps going
that's different. The best we can say
for that fellow is he's about the
smallest man in the world.

WHAT SERVICE COSTS

We hear a good deal CT talk about
service" among our citizens, and
otten wonder if they realize just what
wha. service costs. We wonder ii
they realize that service is a sort OF
Invisible tax, and that if we insist
On service we must pay that tax.
According to statistician, 37c of the
consumers dollar represents the cost
Of producing the article, lac repre-
sents all profits and ACC the cost Of
service. In other words, a farmer
sells a pound of beef, on the hoof, at
the stock yards in Chicago, and then
goes down town to a restaurant and
pays a dollar for it. This does not
mean, however, that somebody, or a
group of somebodies is profteering
TO the tune of 90c. Perhaps nobody
has profiteered-the man who sold
the beef paid for service. Of course
he didn't want to kill the steer and
dress it, and keep the meat on ice,
neither did he want to put it on the
end of a stick and hang it over a
fire to cook. He wanted to sit down
to a table with linen and silverware
on it; he wanted music from an or
chestra while he was eating, and a
waiter to carry him ice water and
stand at his side for further orders
Tie wanted that thing we call "ser'
vice." and he got it and paid for it
1t has come to be pretty costly
tax, this service tax, but the Ameri
can people demand it, they are will
ing to pay for it, SO that ends thu
Argument. Only we wish that some
time we could do away with lot o.
unnecessary service, just to see if WI
wouldn't be as happy-and also to Sc
if we wouldn't have a little NOR
money in our pockets.
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1921-11-12
WHEN IT'S NEEDED

The American Legion, in an address
to the public, asks that service men
be given preference in selecting en-
ployes. The Legion says 100000
service men are idle, many of them
walking the streets, wondering where
their next meal is coming from. In
some states relief laws are operating
to furnish these men with the necessi-
ties of life, but most states have no
such law. Congress has delayed &C.
lion on disability and compensation
bills until they will be too late to
prevent suffering this winter. This
is a subject that should be weary near
every Americans heart. Such situa-
ton would not have been tolerated
for a minute in 1917 and 1918, and
should not be tolerated now. There
is Just as strong reason for the
solicitude for the service man today
IS there was three years ago when
he was in cantonment, on transport
or in the trenches. If there's a citi-
zen who can aid even one of these
service men, now is the time he
needs it most.

THE SMELL OF HEAT

Isn't it strange how the first pun
gent whiffs of scorching stove polish
enthuses the human system. The fact
is most people like to sit around the
fire as sort of novelty after several
months of sweltering sunshine. Arti-
fetal heat feels different; sort OF
comfortable and homelike. Some
people get so anxious that they feign
premature chills at the first slight
cool spell of fall just for the sake OF
starting a fire. You must agree that
we are all more or less like children
in many respects, and we'll just cite
you to the case of Dad rubbing his
hands with chuckle before the cook
stove, with the temperature outside
registering not more than So degrees.
