''NEWSOM" VALVE FOR TUBES
GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK

The Thompson Tire company has
taken the agency for the "Newsom Air
Tight Valve which is said to be an
absolutely leak proof valve. The
Newsome valve is a new wrinkle in
tube construction as it is so made
that 10 parts need ever be replaced.
The valve seat is at the bottom of the
valve stem. The valve is guaranteed
for the life of the tube. Mr.. Thomp-
son says If ii leaks you get a new
tube" The Newsom valve comes in
the Columbus tube, which sells at the
same price of other standard tubes,
no extra price being added for the
leakless valve. 1t looks like sure

Gibbs Road.

w. H. Parks, now with the con-
struction forces of the State highway
from Covington to Ripley as road in
spector, was a visitor at home Sun
day. Mr.. Parks tells us that this
road is in course of construction and
that it soon will be completed. He
says that it is a rock road, covered
with surface of asphalt, and that
the probable cost is about thirty-four
thousand dollars a mile. The re-
duced cost of labor and materials
would make it possible, Mr. Parks
thinks, to build this road at approx
imately eighteen thousand dollars
mile. This is the type of road We
will have in Obion County ON the
State highway that is to be built
from Union City to Troy and west,
taking it for granted that Mr.. House
makes the road the same as the Cow
ington- Ripley part of the highway.
We presume the mileage cost of the
Covington-R Ripley road includes
bridging the Hatchie River. Now,
when this road work in Obion County
begins, the people of Union City
should raise fund to surface the
Gibbs road That work ought to be
done at reasonable cost and we be-
lieve the far-sighted citizens would
be willing to contribute to that fund.
There is no use trying to confuse the
Bristol-to-Memphis highway with
the Gibbs road. We should by all
means have both these roads. They
will be worth the money. So let's
dig down in our pockets and make
a paved road of our own independent
of the county roads. Don't ask the
city or county for cent of money
but let the old tight wads cough up
and do something for Union City that
will be an everlasting monument to
the sleepy old town. Come on, boys; |
when the road work begins let's get
busy. The city has streets of it's
own to build and the county is doing |
all it can and will. So let's for one
time in our lives show that we are
really liberal and enterprising. 1t
ought to be done, and the only way
it can be done is by local subscrip-
tion.
The Commercial is going to ask
some one to start the fund when the
time comes. If you don't come across
you know what you are.

n the exchanges viii develop natu-
rally and all handicap of this nature
will disappear.
But the exchange problem is only
one of the many problems of world
commerce which have resulted from
the war. So interdependent has the
economic and industrial organization
of the world become, and so inter
locked is the prosperity and welfare
of the nations, that no one or several
nations together can find a solution
for these difficulties"
The problems recited by Mr.. Watts
reveal the need for the appointment
of working committees in each of the
nations to cooperate with the gov
ernment3 and business organizations
for putting into practical operation
plans for international cooperation

County Agent.

There is a great deal of propagan-
da in this promotion business. The
Commercial doesn't want to be mar
row, but the State and Federal gov
ernments and benevolent organiza-
tions are promoting SO many differ
ent enterprises that it becomes a
matter of duty for the local authori-
ties to distinguish and determine for
themselves, despite the advice of
those above them, what is of real
value and of material benefit to the
local community.
We have no desire to minimize the
value of the county agent. No doubt
the farmers of Obion County will ad-
init the benefits that have accrued
from county agents in Obion County.
But isn't it reflection upon the in
telligence of the farmer to say that
agent over him? Isn't it poor rec
ommendation to the agent himself
to say that he has left SO little that
he must keep coming back from year
to year, or that we must have a new
county agent every year? Isn't his
practical demonstrations and advice
of any permanent value, SO that it
will not be necessary to keep COM
ing?
Seems to us this ding-donging all
the time from headquarters that you |
must not let your county agent go,
or that the court must get another
agent, is monotonous and even suspi-
cious of public policy for the support
of the office class.

A Bankers Views.

F. o. Watts, president of the First
National Bank of st. Louis, and
chairman of the American financial
delegation of the International
Chamber of Commerce meeting in
London in June, in an address before
the American Bankers Association
declared that the countries of Eu-
rope, whose industrial machine has
reached the point of greatest stagna-
ton, are handicapped not only by a
lack of capital and ability to COM
mand raw materials, but the lack of
markets in which to dispose of the
goods which they produce.
The effective buying power of the
largest part of the population of Eu-
rope, in Mr.. Watts opinion, is 30 de-
pleted that it is subnormal con-
sumner. 1t even lacks the ability to
utilize effectively the products of its
own industry. The investigation
made by Mr.. Watts discloses the need
for furnishing the impoverished
countries of Europe not only with
goods but with credit, in order that
the goods may be made Tor the con-
sumers and the wheels of industry
set in motion. Mr.. Watts advocacy
of longtime credits, to cover period
until Industrial momentum is ac-
quired, is in line with the recommep-
dations of the foremost financial au-
thorities of the country.
Discussing foreign exchange with
relation to it's effect On foreign trade,
Mr.. Watts said:
I'VE still hear much complaint re-
garding the effect of the present ex-
change situation on the American ex-
porter. The advantages that ap-
parently accrue to certain countries
with regard to production costs, as
a result of tho exchange situation,
are not as important as is often as
sumed. In ultimate analysis produc-
ton costs are a price and can not
long remain abnormal due to a high
Or low rate of exchange. No par
ticular rate of exchange can perma-
nently hold any advantage since in
the last analysis foreign trade must |
be an exchange of equivalent values.
The real difficulty, SO far as ex-
change rates are concernec, is not |
heir particular level but their fiuc-
tuating and uncertain value from
lay to day. With better knowledge
Ind understanding of the real con-
litions in other countries, stability

Tenor Singer.

The appearance of an operate
tenor, Louis Polazi, at Jimmie's Play
house last Friday night was an arts
tic event, tho the audience was not
a large one.
II is presumed that no one knew
what his program would be outside
of the house. and that is what we
want to talk about more than any
thing else.
Some twenty years ago an effort
was made to introduce what is or
dinarily termed "high-brow" dra-
matte works. those especially pro-
duced by Maeterlinck and Ibsen,
such plays as the DOLLS House"
"Blue Bird" etc. The American
audiences were not generally at
tracted by them and yet to-day they
are not generally accepted, even in
the larger cities.
The most serious thing in drama
that does appeal with any degree of
favor is the work of American play
wrights staged by Belasco, and these
have more or less of the emotional
spirit, or as Mrs. Carter says, plays
that act themselves.
Mrs. Carter is one of Americas
foremost actresses and she has come
to the same conclusion that we ar
rived at years ago-that plays
which require subtlety of character
and homespun artistry are those
which will prove the better vehicle
for the true actor.
The plays which come nearer the
heart of the American people are the
ones which take us to the humber
abodes, the crude product of nature,
or the tinkling stirring melodies of
folklore. Here live the great ma
jority and that is what makes Amer
lean. character.
So when an artist comes along to
dispense his classics, neither here nor
st. Louis nor even in classic Boston,
will he thrive until the native mel
odies begin to move his heart. Nc
Cormack, Gluck, Homer nor any of
the distinguished artists dare come
to us with book of classics So the |
Polazi's might as well go home and |
learn from their poets and peasants |
what to bring for our tribute.
Polazi has rather robust voice
somewhat between a tenor and
baritone giving evidences of foreign |
method and style, but there seems to
be very little really musical tone
color or feeling. His is not exactly a
thin, white voice, but rather hard
one.
We had this however from the
organ tones produced by Mr.. Bernard
Gooch to somewhat relieve the for
eign accent. Mr.. Gooch has con-
store of musical themes and
a great deal of the sympathy and
spirit of the true musician. The
Union City audiences appreciate Mr..
Gooch's work.

A certain young globe-trotter, pos
sessed of more money than brains, was
recently travelling in Syria. While
journeying through the interior he was
prevailed upon by one of the sons of
the prophet to purchase at very large
price a quantity of what was described
as Syrian lambs fleece.
This, when he returned to London,
he sent TO his tailor with orders to
line an overcoat with It, A few days
after he called to try on the coat.
you didn't send us quite enough
material, sir" remarked the tailor,
"and l had to sc; some more to line
the sleeves"
But" remarked the traveller In sur

"Tanlac is a grand medicine, and
think every suffering woman ought to
know about It," was the statement

Mrs. Barrette is well known and
highly respected resident of that city.

kidney trouble for I suffered almost
constantly from severe pains across
my back, just over the kidneys. When

all that dull pa -ould be there, and
IL 1 attempted q, stoop over II just
felt as though my back would break.
I would get so weak and worn out
! would have to sit down and rest
several times day, and I eelt tired
all the time.
This condition made me awfully
nervous, so that rarely ever slept
well at night, and every now and
then I would jump in my sleep, as If
in a fright, and my condition was
really becoming serious.
"Only two bottles of Tanlac have
brought about wonderful change in
my condition. In fact, the results /
have received from this medicine have
really surprised me. Those terrible
