MERCHANTS Bargain CARNIVAL
SHERIFF BULLOCK
BRINGING IN BACON
Still and Three Alleged Opera
tors Captured Sunday. Bar
rel Beer, Quart Whiskey

Carrying out his well earned rep
utation to enforce the law, Sheriff
Bullock and Deputies Dick Maiden,
Will Cross, Jim Cornell and Will
Dunn came in from the 10th district
Sunday with complete still and two
men-Sid and Kirk Register, living
some two miles west of Sharon.
Later a man known only as "Rags"
was arrested and brought to Jail.
All we're placed under guard.
The still, barrel of beer and one
quart of liquor were all found at
the home of the Registers. The
worm, one Of the most complete ever
captured in this county, was secret
ed in the garden, covered with sacks
and dirt heaped on top of the sacks.
The tank, an iron gasoline barrel,
was found in dark stall in the sta
BILE.
Sheriff Bullock says big run was
made last Thursday night, but
that when found it was not in ope-
ration. After being brought to
Dresden Sid and Kirk Register swore
out warrant for the man known all
over that country as Rags" charg-
ing that he did the making of the
liquor for them. He denies the al
legation. In the afternoon Sheriff
Bullock and Deputy Egbert Bullock
went to this mans home and placed
him under arrest, bringing him to
Jail.
The sheriff had been tipped off
some time ago Of the operation of
wildcat distillery in that section of
the county, and when he heard big
run was made Thursday night went
down with some OF ms most rella-
bic deputies to make an investiga-
ton. He is determined that as far
as is in his power lies the illicit man
ufacture of whiskey in Weakley
county shall not continue. He has
the law-abiding citizens backing
him, and tip after tip is given of
this evil.
Sheriff Bullock has notified the
federal authorities and will turn the
prisoners and the still over to them.
The two Registers made bond
Monday and returned to their home
in the 10Th district. The third man,
rags" had not made bond up to
Tuesday night.

.DROUTH CUTS
WORLD CROPS
Dozen Countries Are Affect
ed; 10000, 600 in Russia ON
Verge of Starvation

Crops in more than a dozen
countries are being destroyed by the
intense heat and drouth.
Refugees report 100000 per.
sons on the verge of starvation be-
cause of the drought. Many are liv-
ing on grass and banks of trees.
A plague of locusts is adding to
the destruction of crops in Russia.
Germany is suffering from crop
failure from drouth which threat
ems the bumper crops reported in
prospect week ago.
Indications are that the United
States and Argentina will be called
on to supply the deficit of grain for
the world.

Chicago, July IA material
change has come over the world
grain situation within the last few
weeks due to drought and great heat.
Nearly a dozen countries are affect
ed, creating most unusual condi-
tionS.
Reports of deterioration of crops
come from nearly all countries,
Even reports from Germany, which
have been good up to within week,
mention deterioration. Many re-
ports suggest a serious shortage of
feedstuffs, and indications are that
the United States and Argentine
will be called upon to support the
deficit.
A shortage of money may curtail
purchase by foreigners, but they will
require a certain quantity of feed.
stuffs from the United States.
A seaboard exporter in close
touch with conditions abroad esti-
mates Europe is likely to need
100000 bushels Of corn daily for
nearly a year. Such a demand
would be of great help to the
United States and relieve it of it's
surplus.
The big stocks that have been a
depressing factor may be a bene-
factor in the end.
Latest reports from Russia indi-
cate crop shortage there, so Rus
sig IS not expected to be in the ex-
port class and may be an importer.
With reductions in the worlds
wheat crop estimates and with a
limited surplus carried over from
last years crop, and foreign import
estimated fully as
large as last years or around $780,
100000, there is a close adjustment
of supplies to requirements.
There are indications that both
the millers and the exporters have
overstayed their market, and unless
the farmers sell more freely, it may
be difficult for them to obtain the
wheat desired to fill their sales.
In recent year the mo rement Of
wheat in the third week Of July ag-
gregS ed 100000 bushels, and
in the last week of July $4,000, 900.
There will have to be greatly in
creased selling to reach this volume
in the two remaining weeks of this

Big Basket Dinner, Plenty of
Free Ice Water. A Cet-to-

Judge JAS. D Senter, presi-

Judge Senter is one of the
most enthusiastic speakers in
the state. Hear him.
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1921-07-22

Dresden citizens are making ev-
cry effort to make Saturday prof
table and pleasant day for all who
come to the farmers rally and mer-
chants trade day carnival. Mr.. C.
P. J. Mooney, editor of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, has been
invited to address the farmers on the
issues of the day. Mooney is rated
the ablest writer the South affords.
He has proven himself a friend to
the farming class.
Mr.. Claud Hilliard, who has the
plans and arrangements in charge,
assures the Enterprise that no stone
will be left unturned for making it
long to be remembered occasion.
Mr.. Ellis has invited some of the
leading farm men of the state to adj
dress the farmers and their wives.
The speaking will take place in the
court house.
The Dresden band will give band
concerts throughout the day. This
musical organization is one of the
best in the state, and under the di-
rection of Messrs. Doran and Nc
Kenzie the band is making wonder
full progress.
1t is the purpose of the commit
tee to see to it that there is plenty
of free ice water for all. Barrels
of ice water will be conveniently
placed.
Elsewhere in today's Enterprise
will be found the official program,
which is complete, except the NAM
ing of the agricultural speakers and
that it states there will be daylight
fire works. Upon investigation it
was found that this feature of the
program would be too expensive,
costing near $50, and it was aban-
doned. But the boys and girls are
urged to participate in the athletic
contests scheduled. Nice premiums
have been offered by the business
men.
Approaching the fact that a bar
gain appeals to all and that money
IS scarce, the wide-awake merchants
and business men Of Dresden have
combined to make this a profitable
occasion to all, and each has named
bargain prices on seasonable mer-
chandise-genuine bargain prices to
stimulate buying and to help us
tide over the present depression.
These prices are named on a double
page ad in today's paper. Be sure
you read them before coming to
town tomorrow. Pick out what YOU

VICE OF FEATHER PLUCKING
Some Authorities Attribute Habit to
Lack Of Scratching Facilities
While Confined.

Among the annoying vices that fowls
in confinement will contract is that
Of feather plucking. The reason for
it Is not clearly established; some at
tribute 1t to the birds being kept in
close quarters devoid Of scratching ia
c%illties, while others are of the opinion
that 1t is a lack of meat in the ration
or a want of green stuff. But what
ever it Is 1t Is a nasty vice. Changing
conditions will sometimes bring relief !;
others advocate a change Of ration,
giving stuffs Of a cooling nature to
which has been added a pinch of salt.
If only one or two hens are guilty
in n flock they had better be killed
before others take up the habit. Par.
ing down the beak so that II will not
close tight to nip or pull out the feath.
ers will be found effective. The busy
hen with room to turn around In and
green, wholesome food scarcely ever
contracts this vice.

An Ideal Life

DR.. McGregor's personality gave one
the impression of strength. His keen
but kindly eye showed glimpses of a
vigorous mind. his expression and
bearing betOkened a strong character,
his rather short, brOadshouldered fig
ure indicated a stalwart body. This
was my impression when | first met
him personally about five years ago.
He was at that time president of the
board of regents, and until within a
few months he was as active and in
terested a member of the board as
any An enthusiastic teacher and low
er of young people, he seemed par
ticularly happy before a class, draw
ing from the candidates for gradu-
alton by means of skillful question
ing their attitude toward their pro-
fessional duties, their degree OF de-
velopment as to scholarship, etc. In
his expert manner he managed to
leave with the young teachers many
a useful suggestion, and set them to
thinking in various directions, while
he pointed the way the highest pro
fessiona1 ideals His influence was
uplifting, his place will indeed be
hard to fill
From DR.. McGregors occasional
reminiscent conversation we gather
the explanation for the unusual Wig
or Of mind and body enjoyed by him
for almost eighty-five years. Born in
the country, of vigorous stock, bred
to an active outdoor life with plain
fare and hardy habits which chung to
him to degree for life, he remained
a horseman throughout youth and
middle life. All through his connec-
ton with schoolwork he kept his
muscles hard and his health sound by
cultivating the soil with his own
hands. His home was a bower Of
beauty in summer. He planted flower
bulbs by the bushel and was always
sending for some new plant that in
Aerested him. One fine spring morn
ing at the end of an examination trip
