SAYS SANITARY
CONDITION BAD
Representative State Board of
Health Visits Dresden. In
spectiOn Made of Places

Capt. Harrell, representing the
engineering department of the state
board of health, visited Dresden
Tuesday and in company with May
or McWherter and the city sanitary
committee visited a number of places
in Dresden with a view to assisting
the officials in solving existing prob
lens with regard to drains from pub.
lie buildings which have been com
planned of.
Capt. Harrell visited the hotel
drain, that back of the Alexander &
Brasfield drug store, the one lead
ing from Bells restaurant and Black
Nails cafe. He pronounced these
places bad and said they were germ
and disease breeding hot beds-all
and each of them. He recommended
immediate action for the sake of the
health of the community. Notice
had already been given the owners
of the property of these places, and
in some instances an effort has been
made to take care of the situation,
while in others nothing had been
done. The board, acting through it's
sanitary committee, will now take
action.
Mr.. Harrell made a survey Of the
entire situation and will give the
sanitary committee an exhaustive
report with recommendations He
states that the well as a drain for
septic tanks is a flat failure, but
that common farm tile leading from
a septic tank and buried to a depth
Of 18 inches cares for the situation
admirably. This has been demon
strated in many instances. DR.. T. |
W. Fields will, we feel sure, be glad
to give detailed information ON tie
drainage for septic tanks.
The sanitary committee desires
tht hearty cooperation of the citi-
zens of this town in it's efforts to |
safeguard the health of the citi-
zens of Dresden, but when they re-
fuse to obey the requests of the
committee, little can be accomplish
ed.
Let's don't have it said that this
own is unhealthy because of filth
hat can be taken care of.

There was quite a race for high
gun at the Friday afternoon shoot

AMERICAN LEGION
DAY PROGRAMME
Ex-Service Men to Put ON Field
Day Program for Benefit
Red Gross. A Big Day
Get ready for American Legion

Get ready for American Legion
day!
The two Posts of the American
Legion in Weakley county, one at
Martin and one at Dresden, co-ope-
rating, have arranged a general
American Legion field day pro
gramme, to be held at the fair
grounds on Thursday, Aug. 4. The
exercises will commence at 9 in the
forenoon and continue until $3.50,
winding up with a big ball fame.
The proceeds of the day, including
gate receipts, will go to the Red
Cross for the purpose of maintaining
the Home Service Office, which is
now wholly without funds, and If
closed the door of hope will be prac-
tically closed to hundreds of the ex-
service men and their families.
This plan of raising the amount
necessary to carry on the work was
suggested to the American Legion
and adopted after conferences be-
teen committees representing the
two Posts in the county. Not a
penny of money will go to the
American Legion, but the members
of the organization are bending
every effort toward the success OF
the day.. They ask their friends to
come out and enjoy big program
of music, races, shooting, boxing
base ball, etc., and thus help tne
most worthy call that has been
made within recent months. If the
Red Cross Home Service office is
forced to close it will mean dis
tinct loss to many men and their
families. Weakley countians simp-
" cannot afford to allow this Office /
to close. '''"* '''S''" y a4
The program is as follows:
1OO-yard' dash, boys under 10;
first prize S.; second SO.
Potato race; first prize So; Sec
ond 81.
Sock race; first prize So; second,
81. q
Barrel race; first prize So; second
81.
Slow mule race, prize So.
A battle royal between 10 ne
grOes in the boxing ring, $40 to be
awarded the one remaining in the
ring to the last.
At 80 all candidates for county
office will deliver three-minute adj
desses-a feature well worth the
price Of admission. At 2:30 there
will be a clay pigeon shooting con-
test by some crack shooters. An
other negro boxing match will be
staged at o'clock, SO in premiums
to be- awarded And the big ball
game at o'clock.
A feature of the program will be
the addresses of Mr.. Householder
and wife of Jackson. Mrs. House
holder was an A. E. F. entertainer
in France and VII be sure to have
to say interesting to the
mothers and fathers of all ex-ser-
vice men.
But, sucks! We simply can't be-
gin to tell you what big day is in
store for you. Just come with the
big crowd and see.

of that city to certain restricted
blocks and sections as their places OF
abode and public assembly. The court
unanimously decided that such an or
dinance was a direct violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition and therefore null and void.
This decision henceforth sounded the
death knell of all proposed segrega-

Hence the agitation for such an
ordinance will only create race preju-

fore was peace and harmony, thereby
lowering the morals. of the community

Colored people who have answered

strong to be contaminated by the hell

Shame on a race that carries in
its brain the accumulated culture OF
the centuries and holds in its hands
the wealth Of the continent and yet,
not only refuses to lift a less fortu-

lightenment and virtue, but seeks
through humiliating, illegal ordin-
nances and discrimination to sink him
to the lowest depths Of Ignorance and

DODGE TRUCK,
NEW CREATION,
SHOWN IN CITY
Large Truck Exhibited For First
Time in Bismarck-Many
New Features =.

On their salesroom floor, M. B. Gil
man Co. is now showing one Of the
large trucks which they have just re-
ceived from Dodge Brothers. and
which, because of its low price and
sturdy construction has been very en-
thusiasticly admired by all who are
familiar with truck construction.
In addition to this truck being the
very latest and most approved con-
struction, it has the further advantage
of being comparatively light in weight
Taking the average of some IS other
we'll known trucks, this weighs from
700 to 1900 pounds less, making a
large saving in oil, gasoline and tires.
In other words this Dodge Brothers
truck brings hauling costs down to
the lowest possible point.
Cost per ton mile also takes into
consideration the amount of money
invested in the truck. Here also Dodge
Brothers have decided advantage, as
with Graham Brothers truck equip
ment, this outfit sells for 100000 less
than tho average price of 40 other
we'll known trucks. Equipped with a
stake body, cab and delivered in Bis
marck this truck sells for only 1875.
Dodge Brothers complete line is Of
important consideration to anyone
with hauling problem as they offer
the lighter 3-4 ton business car in ad-
dition to the heavier trucks.
