GREAT FIGHT FOR LIFE
BEING PUT UP BY JOHN
BLACK, GOLF RUNNER-UP

San Jose, Cal, Aug. John Black,
doughty little runner up in the recent
national open golf championship at
Glencoe, ILL.,, was playing on a course
today for which par is 20 years and he
was trying to avoid making it in less.
Lying on his back in a local hospital
is the little Scotch golf champion of
California, and, but for hooked drive
out of bounds and a wild spoon shot,
the champion of the world, was max
ing a fight for his life as a result Of an
automobile spill last night which
caused conclusion of brain and frac'
tured several of his ribs.
Herbert Hamilton Brown, insurance
broker and sportsman of San Fran
cisco, who was with Black, died as a
result of his injuries in the same hos
pital where the famous golfer now op'
poses his grimmest boyle.
At first physicians said Black had
no chance to live, but his reputation
for fighting in the pinches" was sus-
tanned. And just as he did July IA on
the Skokie course, when he turned a
bunkered tee shot into an eagle two,
Black was fighting, silent and without
ado. His wife, a nurse and a doctor
were his gallery.
Meanwhile sportsmen and golf fans
who love John Blacks sportsmanship
wait and hope. Black is carpenter
and widely known up and down the
coast as lust as good a carpenter as
he is a golfer"
Black halls from a family of golfers.
His three brothers, Dave, William and
Bob, are professionally employed on
western courses. Although only 40
years old, Black is a grandfather and
possibly even prouder of that fast
than of his ability as golfer.

HOW WAGE REDUCTIONS AFFECT

by the engineers. conductors and en-

1921, so that our business men will
lie brought to realize their loss by

OF course at this time the transport
tation employees wages have been de-
creased in only one instance, the
maintenance of way employees. Now,
we all agree that the roads do not
care any more for the engineers. con-
ductors. fagmen. or any other en-
ployes in the transportation depart
ment than they do for the shop me-
chanics. and if they can force us to

that the men in the transportation
department will come next in line for

that in July, 1921, all employees, in

the shopcrafts and maintenance of

the big Four with the cut also?
They knew they would not only have
had the shop employees to fight. they
would have had the big Four out

notice first i'm order that they could
try to whip us in sections. but l am

1t is our fight, and when I say "our

cry trade. whether butcher, baker, or

Organized labor will never die, for
they only ask a sufficient wage to.
keep their families somewhere near
decency. You frequently hear organ

but you never hear or see the news
papers abuse the organization of rail-

that they might not be a nation of

Organized labor stands for the prin-

LIONS FUNCT|ONING
MEMBERSHIP CROWS
Enthusiasm for County Agriculture
and Home Demonstration.

The Lions met last Tuesday with
a very large attendance. The club
seems to have attracted considerable
attention and kindled a new spirit
for progress in Obion County.
Esq. Jackson, member of the
Obion County Court, was present and
lad something to say in regard to
the public highways and the agricul-
tural interests of the county and the
relation of the court to these mat
ters.
Mr.. Chas. Dietzel reported the
strawberry and trucking interests
growing, and presented to the club
the fact that Mr.. Nichols, head of the
Farm Demonstration Bureau in West
Tennessee, offers thru the State De-
partment of Agriculture the cum of
twelve hundred dollars if the County
Court of Obion County will appropri-
ate two thousand dollars to organ
ize and empty q demonstration agent
for the county.
Mr.. Will Sowell, of Fulton County,
KY, was present as visitor and sug-
gested to the club that Fulton Coun-
tys farm demonstration work had
been a complete success. The in
crease in the poultry business alone,
said Mr.. Sowell, had paid the expense
of the demonstration department in
Fulton County.
A suggestion was made by Mr.. Ben
Howard that the patronage of home
industries should have the attention
of the club. He called special atten-
tion to the fact that the Motlow
Milling Co.'s -four mills are now in
operation with a very small home
patronage in the initial orders, and
that quality and prices being equal
these mills should have precedence
of local patronage.
Mr.. Henry Oliver, who is in charge
of the Return of the Prodigal," an
entertainment to be given at the
meeting of the Lions next Tuesday,
stated that home industries would be
symbolized and home patronage en-
phasized on that occasion.
