HAVE NEW QUARTERS

Friends and customers Of the pOpu-
lar firm of Jos. Dawidoff & Co., will
be very much pleased to learn that
the enterprising proprietors of this
firm have decided to remain in Ar

intention. Messrs. Dawidoff and

for twenty-three years, during which
time they have ever taken an active
part in every movement for the adj
yancement of the town and community.
More public spirited and desirable
citizens than these men and their fam
lilies would be hard to find.
They will be ready to vacate their
present quarters very soon, and will
move into the building now occupied
by the First National Bank, which is
next door to their present location
A special balcony is being installed in
the rear half Of the store which will

have the interest Of his county at

CONGRESSMAN CLOUSE
AT HOME this WEEK

Congressman w. F. Clouse Is at
home this week, having arrived from
Washington Sunday night. He comes
primarily to look after legal matters
in connection with. the Criminal
court now in session, but says he Is
glad to be home again and to have
the opportunity to meet his many
friends throughout the country, and
tell them of the things he hopes to
accomplish for the Fourth congress
sional district.
Mr.. Clouse has introduced several
measures in the house, already, that
re calculated to be of great benefit
to his constituency, one of them be-
ing bill to create new federal
judgeship for Middle Tennessee.
This bill is of especial interest to
COokeville, as we have federal
court here which is supposed to hold
two sessions year, but owing to the
congested dockets of the other courts
of East and Middle Tennessee, there
has been no session of the court since
last fall and so far as we have learn
eG the Spring term has been aban-
doned this year. There is undoubt-
edly an urgent need for a new dis
trict to be created, and we trust 1t
may be done without much further
delay

THE CITY SCHOOL

The commencement programs OF
the city school have been the center
of attraction in Cookeville for the
past week, and have been very much
enjoyed by all. This annual event is
always of great interest, and this
year is especially so on account of
the large number of students who
graduate from the grammer school.
About fifty boys and girls are to re-
ceive diplomas tonight, which will
entitle them to enter High school
next term
On Tuesday evening Mrs. JEFF Wallis
music class gave recital which was
largely attended and which was pro-
nounced most entertaining program.

grades gave play entitled kicked
Out of College," and this too was
staged to capacity house and was
thoroughly enjoyed. On this. Thurs
day evening, the graduation exercis-
es will be held, which we understand

successful one from every point Of
view.

RURAL LETTER
CARRIERS MEETING

The eleventh annual meeting of the
Putnam County Rural Letter Carriers
Association will meet in the federal
court room in the postoffce building
at this place Monday, May 30th, 1921
at one o'clock.
1t is hoped that every carrier and
substitute carrier in the county will
be present at this meeting. Come
and join the Association and help us
out. We need you. 1t surely cannot
be the small dues of two and three
dollars year that keeps you out.
Being able to find no other posi-
BILE reason for your refusal to join, l
will take it for granted that this is the
one and only reason. 1t is a very
small and selfish thing for am an to
expect and actually receive the bene-
fit from another's time and money,
freely and willingly spent. This is
exactly the case as regards members
and non-members in the Association.
The city carriers fare better than we,
and that is because they have large
percentage in their organization.
What could we have done if all the
carriers had been members and all
working together for what we deem
just How any carrier can be un-
willing to help, | can't understand
The man who does not belong to the
organization nevertheless received

been fortunate in getting quite fire.
quently the past three years. No one
can deny that this was the direct
reward of the efforts of the loyal
workers and contributors to the
great old r. l.. C. A.
Every rural carrier may be assured
of one thing, and that is this. When
we stop making demands On congress
for increased wages, better working
conditions, ETC., just that sure not
one single Rural Carrier will receive
any of the above from now until
Dooms day. But, If we disorganize
and everyone goes his way, it will be
a very short time before congress will
think we are over paid, and act ac-
cordingly.
You know that it has been said to
our representative that he did not
represent the carrier body, but only
a part of them. The carriers outside
the organization believe just as
strong as we do that we are not get
ting what we are Justly entitled to,
but just set back and are unwilling
to help.
Now, Brother Carrier make up
your mind and come to Cookeville on
May 30th. Your help will be greatly
appreciated. Come.
Yours for better service,
WALTER SMITH, Secty.

PRICES OF MEAT ANIMALS
LOWEST IN TEN YEARS

paying now. A COW purchased at a
cost of possibly from seven to eight
cents per pound net, by the butcher,
produces steak which is offered to the
public at 80 to 35 cents per pound,
and other cuts from 20 to 25 cents,
while the once lowly soup-bone that
they were once glad to get rid of for
dime, has reached the 25-cent class,
and up.
Just why conditions like this obtain
here, and we understand there are
similar conditions in some other
places, we cannot quite comprehend,
and on the face of the facts as stat
ed, it does not look entirely fair to
the people who are dependent on the
markets for their daily meat, and
but pay the prices or do without.
If there are reasons for prices be-
ing kept at the present high level, in
this or other lines which have been
mentioned, we shall be pleased to
have them explained to us, and to
the people. The columns of this pa
per are open for any feasible expla-
nation or defense that anyone may
wish to make, for this is matter Of
vital Importance and concern to the

duty to have to call attention to pre-

imposed on every newspaper that
