VOCATIONAL SHOE
REPAIR SHOP

One of the most complete and up
to-date establishments in this sec
tion of the state is the Shoe Repair
Shop put in by the United States
Government at the Tennessee Poly
technic Institute for the training OF
the men who are here in the Rehab
ilitation School. The equipment Is
of the very best, and the capacity
for turning out good work is prac-
tically unlimited. About 20 men have
chosen this line Of work as vocations
and under the supervision and in.
struction of w. d. Thomas are CO.
ing splendidly, the only impediment
just now being the lack of shoes to
work on. The work is done absolute
ly free of charge, only the actual
cost Of material is charged for, and
it certainly is a splendid opportuni-
ty for the people of Cookeville and
surrounding country to get their
shoe repairing done cheaper than ever
before. With modrn machinery, men
learn to do good work in remarkably
short time. All difficult jobs are
done by the instructor as a demons
tration to the students, while the
less difficult ones ahe done, by the
men who have had the longest and
best experience in the work, and is
inspected and passed On by the in-
structor before it is allowed to go
out as finished. Halt soles are put
on for from IS to rs cents per pair,
and good rubber heels for IS cents,
and all other work in proportion.
When you have any shoe repair work
that needs to be done, take 1t to this
shop. get 1t done cheaper than any
where else, and at the same time help
to furnish the men with the practic-
al experience they must have before
out for themselves in
their chosen ocations--Advertise-
ment.

MORE HOUSES
NEEDED HERE

New residences are still being
erected in Cookeville, but the in
crease does not anything like take
care of the demand. There are peo-
pie here looking for houses every
day that rolls around, and there i
no question that thirty or forty new
houses could be occupied as soon as
they are built. The committee of the
Cookeville Building Co., should take
on new life and see to it that enough
stockholders are secured to insure
the erection of at least enough resi-
dences commodate the ex-serv-
ice men as they come to enter school
Another ten thousand dollars added
to the present paid up capital would
probably suffice for present require
ments, and this should be seen to
without delay. Our people have new
er fallen down ON any proposition
when they were shown that it was
necessary for the future development
of the town and surrounding country,
and surely this question: is one of
the most important with which they
were ever confronted. The invest
ment Is safe one within itself to
say nothing Of the incalculable bene-
fit the town as whole would derive
from It. Opportunity is knocking at
our door as it never did before, and
Il is high time we were bestirring
ourselves to take advantage Of the
situation. It is not necessary to
leave Cookeville for the capital need
ed for this enterprise; It is here and
should be used for this great need.
We have done well SO far. but there
is still great deal to be done, ana
it will not do to rest on our oars
right in the middle Of the stream.
Let's be up and doing while the tide
Of prosperity is rolling our way.

GORGEOUS CAVES.

The Oregon caves, which hunt
er stumbled upoa in 1874, by no
means equal the Mammoth Cave Of
Kentucky in extent. but far surpGss
that of any other known cave in this
country in natural splendor.
Water. saturated with carbonate
Of lime seeping from the ground
above has slowly incrusted the wholo
surface Of the cave. Ceilings and
walls are frescoed; alcoves, balconies
and corridors are fringed with tho
most immaculate Of draperies; floors
have the lustre Of silk and look as II
never meant for the tread Of mortal
feet. The formations are curious:
many bear actual or fancied resem-
blance to objects Of various kinds
where crystal facets CLEAN in re-
sponse to the exploror's light. Here
the walls glow softly as if with the
sheen Of velvet; There they blaze
as IL with the twinkle of distant stars
reflected in myriads OF mirrors; ev-
erywhere liamond-iike points and
facets scintillate with fre ana color.
The caves have not been wholly
explored. but the visitor can travel
perhaps three miles and half under
ground. The trip takes three hours.
The entrance to the caves is twenty
seven miles from the nearest railway

WEEKLY NEWS ARTICLE
Especial Correspondence.)

| Washington, D. c., June lex
travagance in appropriations, lack o
programme and the failure to maxi
good election promises are the chic
characteristics Of the Republican
legislative situation here at this writ
ing. The charges are:
The Republicans promised to re
duce Federal taxes, but are increas
ing them.
They promised to make speed,
technical peace, but he peace situa
tion is up in the air.
They promised to revive business
but there has been constant decline
in foreign trade and continued de
preston of securities.
They promised a reversal of Ameri
can foreign policies, but have ad
herel strictly to the policies OF the
former administration.
These charges are made and the
proof furnished in large part by Re
publicans. Take for instance, the
statement of Senator Borah (Rep.
Idaho) in discussing the Army Sup
ply Bill. He said:
II wish to ask our Republican
friends on this side of the Chamber
what are you going to do about the
question of economy? What is your
programme? What is your plan
There is no provision anywhere for
reducing expenses or reducing taxes.
There is no programme to that ef.
feet should like to know, in view
Of the question upon the part Of Re-
publican leaders that the taxes are
now unbearable and that they must
be reduced, when and where are they
going to reduce them? Where is the
programme?
Senator King (Dem.. Utah) inter-
rupted to say:
"The senior Senator from Utah
(Mr Smoot, Rep.) stated that there
woulud be an increase, so l say to my
Republican friend from Idaho that
his party not only will not reduce
taxation and not produce economies,
but increase taxation and will in
crease the expenses Of the Govern
ment."
THAT is not the kind of doctrine
wanted to hear, but I am afraid 1t II
true" replied Senator Borah.

CAPTU RED
BY Joe Maddux and His Bioodhounds
Last Week.

The home of Joe Darlington, a
prominent farmer of the 18th dist.
rict, was completely destroyed by
fire on Tuesday afternoon, June 7th.
Mr.. Darlington and his family were
working in field some little distance
from the house and arrived only in
time to save few pieces of furnl-
ture from the flames which had prac-
tically enveloped the whole building
when they reached it.
The house was a new one and had
been occupied only few months. It
was 7-room frame building and had
been built at cost of something
near $4,000. There was an insurance
policy of $4,000 on the house and fur
niture.
AS the fire originated from the
outside OF the house, Mr.. Darlington
Immediately called for Joe Maddux of
Buffalo Valley to bring his blood
hounds. He arrived with them at
midnight Tuesday night and within
an hour had arrested two men who
afterward made an open confession
to having set fire to the house. They
were neighbors Of Mr.. c.
with, whom he had had trouble over
som land, and the matter had been in
Chancery court for some time, when
it was decided in Mr.. Carrington's
favor. The men are brothers and
their name is Pressly.

in running down the incendiaries was
indeed remarkable and Mr. Maddux
deserves much credit for the man.
