Gcker Snake Answers DIFF.
icult Question.

Mr.. Editor Please publish
the inclosed problem in you
paper which is respectfully SUBJ
mited to "Slicker Snake" of
Yuby Dam,
IF it takes a four months old
wood-pecker with a rubber bill
9 months and Is days to peck a
hole through a cypress log that
Is big enough to make III shing-
les, and it takes I65 shingles to
make a bundle worth SO cents,
how long would it take a cross
eyed grass hopper with a cork
leg to kick all the seeds out of a
dill pickle?"
If you can't answer. please
send to principal of "Yuby Dam
School, and oblige.
To the woodpecker man.
Ever and anon some great in
tellectual high brow comes flop
ping into my domains with a new
question. At first sight, |
though your problem fell outside
the pale of legitimate calculation.
Seemed that there was not
enough connection between the
the peck of the wood-pecker and
the kick of the grass hopper.
1t seemed a little to much in the
abstract.
| was just about to say that it
should have been referred to
some higher power the Great
Il am" who clapped the bills on
the wood.chucks and put the
kick in the grass hopper's leg,
but after putting on my glasses
and taking a second glance |
hollered Ureka! Ureka! This
grass hopper will finally kick the
seeds out of the dill pickle in
about the same time that it
would take little boy three
feet high, with a squirt gun three
inches long to drown out hades
and make a swimming pool of it,
or for the devil to get the Sec.
ond Blessing" or for a water
jointed, knock-kneed man to bail
the Mississippi dry with a sitter.
Of course this is only an
approximate answer that |
arrived at in an off hand way
after taking in consideration the
grass-hopper's latent energy and
waning power superinduced by
old age, and on an occasional
miss of his left hind foot once
every million years.
/ have handed the problem
over to my wise men, soothsay-
ers, astrolegers, and dreamers
here in Yuby Dam, and they will
get it a little more accurate for
you if possiable. Maybe change
it a few seconds, but l guess
not. So stand close by you, CAD |

Armistice Day al Tennessee
State Normal.

AS we call back three years
ago. the eleventh of this Nov, :.
we are reminded of many fond
memories. Yes, fond. because
they are recorded in past his
tory, instead of being in the
midst of those perlious times
now, or having them to come in
the future and to realize that
they must be met by the best
that America possessed.
The day passed off with con-
siderable pleasure for the ex-
service boys. Grouping the
boys of this Post of the "Ameri-
can Legion" and the men, who
are taking vocational training
in the Middle Tennessee Normal
togather, we had approximately
thee hundred men.
The rehab boys assembled in
front of the main school build
ing about 9:45 and left singing.
"Packup Your Troubles in Your

spirit Of the occasion. They
journeyed to the Kerr Athletic
Field, where they met the men,
bers of the Local Post. They
here made the formulation and
marched down East Main Street,

the town, around the square and
back to school. where all the
people of the town met them in

emphising the fact that they
must never be forgotten. From
this part of his address he went
to the American Legion, reading
its preamble and discussed in a
way the ideals of the Legion and
the things that it stands for.
But | must pass hurriedly to
the most enjoyable part of the
occasion. The men were ask to
pass to the basement of the
main building, where the Ladies
Business Club had spread one of
the most elaborate dinners that
was ever viewed by human eye.
Dean Lyons returned thanks
and the attack was started.
The menu was to much to
even attempt to make mention of
it here.
BY this time the spirit of the
occasion was running high. At

new JUDGE MEKES GIVES
CHARGE TO JURY.

Jugge Ross, of Memphis, the
new Federal Judge of West
Tenn, who is holding court at
CoOkveville, in opening court last
week, made a forceful charge to
the jurymen.
Judge Ross in his charge to
the grandjury said Gentlemen,
| would like to impress upon you
the Importance and seriousness
of your position. You stand as
impartial arbiters between the
the people of the United States
and the law vioiators, and it is
your duty to do equal justice to
both. Upon your efforts depends
in large manner. the enforce
ment of the laws of your coun-
try. AS | understand, the most
common and frequent violations
of the law in this district are the
violations of the prohibition laws.
Gentlemen, it does not matter
whether you are in sympathy
with the liquor traffic or wheth-
er you oppose it, nor does it
matter what your feelings are
towards the one whom the gov
eminent seeks to indict, you are
bound by oath to weigh the evil
dence presented and if you are
satisfied that a violation of the
law has been committed, you
must indict. Anyone who en-
tiers the liquor traffic is certain
ly to be blamed and most rightly
condemned, as he knows it is
wrong from start to finish, and
for that reason there is no ex-
cuse them. There are laws on
the statute books against liuqor
violations and as long as they
are there, they must be enforced
and is your duty to help enforce
them. 1t is your duty to indict
anyone found manufacturing,
selling, transporting or posses
sing any liquor containing more
than one-half of one per cent
alcohol, no matter by what name
it be called. 1t is your duty to
indict the rich and influential
man who runs his still up in the
mountains.
| think the big" man should
have a heavier penalty, because
he certainly knows better, and
should not be allowed to mask
his law violation behind a cloak
of responsibility. Gentlemen
you must close your eyes to the
individual and the reputation of
the man and look to see only if
the law has been violated. )"
AS for getting whiskey on
prescription Judge Ross said he
understood that it was much
easier to buy liquor up here in
the mountains than it was to go
to the trouble of getting a doc.
tors prescription. Judge Ross
told the jury that it was their
duty to indict anyone, who either
gave or received a prescription
in bad faith.
Judge Ross scored the ''ino-
cent bystanders." who, when
caught at a still, denied any
knowledge of it. one man saying
that he stumbled upon it acct
dentally while out walking.
Another one said that he had
heard that there was a still up
there and wanted to see one 10
operation, while another one
said that he was rounding up his
hogs aud just ran across the
still. But nine ont of ten, he
said, are guilty of either owning
or partly owning or operating
stills. and should be indicted &C.
cordingly.
Judge Ross said that the most
despisable of all the liquor vio-
lators was the bootlegger. who
had the least excuse for living.
He like the maker. was in it for

Both of them we're dead when the po-
