IN MOVIE LAND

For life is a moving picture
AS the shifting scenes go by,
Filled with humor and with pathos,
With laugh and then sigh.
And to see story written by Irwin
Cobb, and featuring Fatty Arbsuckle,
must be surely to laugh, Off the hui
NOR of the one interpreted by the hu-
NOR of the other, must be humorous
indeed. Irwin Cobb's story "The
Life Of the Party that was publish
ed recently in the Saturday Evening
Post, is now on the screens featur-
ing Fatty Arbuckle as the robust
young lawyer. Miss Viola Daniel, a
new screen star is leading woman
and other artists make up clever
comedy. The more dignified title of
the star is Mr.. Roscoe Arbuckle.
Miss Natalie Talmadge, sister of
the noted sister-stars, Constance and
Norma Talmadge is appearing with
her sister, Constance In a role of
prominence in The Love Expert"
Miss Natalie will be married in the
near future to Mr.. Joseph Keaton,
whom she met when she was playing
with Mr.. Arbuckle and she was Mr..
Arbuckle's general secretary.
Henry Arthur Jones the veteran
British playwright will arrive in
America soon to study photo-play
technique at the Paramount studio
in New York. This is rather remark
able, since Mr.. Jones is seventy years
of age. 1t is also rather discouraging
TO the would he screen fiction writ
ers that writer of note would come
so far to make a study OF the tech
nique necessary to produce correct
scenarios, and it also proves that the
fiction OF the screen in the future will
be the best type of literature, and
written by the most successful writ
ers. s-sN -@,%

EASTER BRINGS THOUGHTS
OF LOVE AND SACRIFICE
SCRAPS OF VERSE AND PROSE
EASTER

A very charming poem by Mrs
Elizabeth Fry Page was published
recently in the Nashville Tennessean
which will reach the hearts of those
who have lost their loved ones.
IN HER GARDEN
Tin. memory of Mrs. Andrew Moore)
By Elizabeth Try Page
When Spring comes creeping to the
height
OF Mother Mountain" DEAR my
friend,
And touches with her magic spell
The trees and woods along the way
How will the growing things you loved
Come into flower of fruit or leaf?
My heart turns sick with dread lest
they
Faint-hearted, should not yield to her
And glow and twine and bud and
AS in past years, when you were
there
And tended them with loving hand.
The Spring means to you, to me,
great heart,
In that dear place you long called
home,
And with you gone my spirit chills
And ceaseless winters seem to brood,
A frozen silence, leaden,. grey,
Ne presage gives of song or green.
Poor creatures of the soil, will you
In barren sorrow grudge your bloom,
Or will you braver Tar than l.,
Put forth richer, fuller glow,
In grateful, selfless memory!
Dear Pyrus and Wistaria
And Paeonies and Violets,
Come back more lovely than of yore,
And breathe through her deserted
ways
A message of immortal hope,
And faithfulness and deathless love!"

BUSY LEGISLATORS

The present legislature has been
too busy repeating laws to pass any
number of general measures calcu-
lated to be Of amy great benefit to the
state at large. The. trend has been
toward the passing of local measures
rather than general ones, and we
take it that many counties of the
state are fairly well satisfied with the
laws which have been enacted in
their interests by their representa-
tives, who were well informed as to
the wants and needs of their con-
stituencies, and have acted accord
ingly.
So far as Putnam county is con-
cerned. her wants and needs in the
way of local measures are yet to be
attended to, however, we trust that
the eleventh remedy may be applied,
in the form of Good Road bill and
q Stock law, both of which we feel
are badly needed.

There was no degree work at this

attendance then, as the Building
Committee hopes to be able to make
an interesting report by that time,
as they are at this time figuring on
three different trades. The lack OF
funds is handicap, otherwise the
committee could, they think, effect
satisfactory deal, hence the sub
scribers to the building fund are ear
nestly requested to send in their
checks for it takes money to build
or buy houses, is4the way the matter
addresses itself to your committee.

RESURRECTION.
By Clara Cox Epperson

| have been watching a bit OF
resurrection unfold in beauty beneath
my eyes from day to day. They were
only dry, brown bulbs PLACID in a
glass bowl with some pebbles and
water in a dark closet. When the
roots were formed they were placed
on my desk in the sunshine, and day
by day l saw miracle take place.
First came the shoots of green that
grew into tall, stiff, green leaves, and
after awhile peeping from between
the leaves l saw a bit of pink upon
sJalk of green. With the water,
the pebbles and the warmth of the
golden sunlight the stalks shot up
and one b yone the fragrant, pink
blooms unfolded, filling the entire
room with delicious perfume. And
the wonderful miracle of nature was
done, but the how and the why, no
human being knows. With all of SCI
ence, that gorgeous development of
beatty and color and fragrance from
the dry brown bulbs evolved, no finite
mind can explain nor can science re-
produce in like manner from those
materials.
l could not but think of the dear
bodies of loved ones planted beneath
the, soil Of earth, and. # this develop
ment is possible, can we question
that those bodies will develop per-
feet ones of strength, beauty, color
and spiritual fragrance of eternal
life, unimagined and even unthink-
able to our finite minds, in the in
finitude of their gorgeous, magnifi-
cent glory, beneath the tender care
of the Divine Gardener, who planted
even His own Son beneath the soil
that the beauty and glory of His
might be seen of men.

COOKEVILLE
MUSIC CLUB
TO GIVE AS ITS PREMIER
"oliVET TO CALVARY"

The Cantata "Olivet to Calvary" by
James Henry Maunder. to be given
March 9th, is the first musical work
of its size and degree of difficulty to
be given in Cookeviile. It is the
most successful cantata Maunder has
ever written, and it might be said the
most popular Of all his works. Maun-
der is an organist and composer Of
wide repute. Ee was horn in Chel-
sea, London, February 21, 1858;
studied at the London Royal Acade-
my Of Music, and besides being the
organist at Sydenham and Forest
Hill, he is a widely known accom-
panist and has wide reputation as a
choir trainer. His composition is
closely allied to the church, for which
he has written a number of yery
successful and beautiful services.
To sing successfully work OF this
kind requires a deal ,of careful, seri-.
Gus study and an unlimited amount
Of effort on the part of all that have
anything to do. with it. Where this
faithfulness of purpose can be found
there is promise OF something more
even than the performance Of that
particular work. Through the asso-
citation and study made at rehearsal
there is often bred a desire to con-
tinue with the serious study of other
forms Of the best music, but to sue
cessfully carry on that study there
must be besides interest, a united
effort in the form of an organization.
And SO it is-a music club has been
formed by group of men and women
whose desire it is to continue beyond
the performance OF the cantata "Oh-
vet to Calvary" the musical interest
which has brought them together in
study during the past several months,
with a desire in mind TO promote the
taste for better music and to nourish
a local devotion to the best music.
Might not a few of the most ac-
comRlished and refined musicians OF
Cookeville institute a series of con-
certs, let them engage to perform
choruses, and the like,
with occasionally an oratoriO, by the |
best masters and no others. Let |
them repeat the best and most char
acteristic pieces enough to make them |
a study to the audiences. The hun
dred or more who are scattered |
about and really desire to hear and |
make acquaintance with Beethoven
and Hayden, could easily be brought |
together by such an attraction and
would form a nucleus to whatever
audience might be collected, and
would give lone to the whole-It
might be but labor of love at the
but 1t would create in time
The taste which would patronize and
'eward it.
II you are interested in the promo
ion of music as an art and are de.
'irous Of supporting the Cookeville
Music Club communicate with Mrs
Mackie Shanks, Mr.. J. P. Hamilton
II the director of the Club, Mr.. Rich
nond.

GETTING BACK
TO NORMAL
THE FARMER HAS INITIATED THE
MOVE

Nearly everybody is having some
thing to say about what ought to be
done to bring this country back tc
normal. 1t is invariably the case
however, that such remarks apply
only to the other fellow.
Many people are of the opinion tha,
prices should return to the pre-war
level. but it is doubtful If they ever
will. Certainly 1t can never be done
without literal invoking of the law
of supply and demand, and that is
something the speculators will frus-
trate at all hazards.
The manufacturer, having gorged
himself on huge profits, will never
again b satisfied with modest ones.
He will eventually come down con-
siderably, few pennies at time,
but 1t will be herculean task to
move him at all.
The labor unions are putting up a
tremendous fight against any materi-
al reduction in wages, although It is
generally conceded that as long ae
the price OF labor remains up there
can be no great reduction elsewhere.
The stockholQer wants big divi-
dends in order to meet high living
costs. The same applies 20 the mer-
chant and his profits. and to the
doctor and the lawyer and the under
taker and their fees.
In every line you meet the same
conditions. Nobody feels that he can
afford reduce his own prices untfi
there has been a corresponding re.
duction in the articles he is forced
to buy.
Who, then, is to make the start?
The farmer has done it. His prof.
its have been wiped out by falling
on farm products, because he
is compelled to continue paying high
prices for everything that he uses.
The great trouble is, the rest of the
country is not following the farmer
In the downward trend. II it were
10 do so, We would be back to some
hing approaching normal in hurry.
Congress apparently is unable to
solve the problem. and II congress
s impotent we of this community
,an not be expected to waste our time
n beating against an impossible
barrier.
There is, however, one thing that
We can do. That is to go to work and.
stay at work and do more work and
ess talking.
We can regulate our actions, and
t those actions are along the lines
# increased activity and productive.
y we will be doing our share toward |
bringing the country back to nor
normal may be.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

A cleanup and paint-up camraign
should be inaugurated in Cookeville
before the really warm days of Spring
arrive. Destroy the source of the
fly and his associate pests by nip
ping them in the bud, as it were. To
do this successfully we must have
concerted action, and to get concert
ed action it will be necessary to have
a proclamation from the powers that
be. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
Let's get ready for the onslaught.
