LacIede Wins Again

1t seems that the population
of Laclede has become so accus-
toned to hearing and reading
the above statement that the
full significance of the three
words fail to penetrate the sur
face of their understandings.
Did it ever occur to you how
much a town was risking when
it entrusted to a bunch of high
school boys its honor and good
name to be carried into the world
of athletics when proceedings
are not always negotiated in the
most open and above-board
manner? And did it ever occur
to you that these boys were TAX
ing upon themselves a tremend-
Gus responsibility to assume this
trust without any direction
whatsoever? Is it not correct
and indisputable to say that
these young men have not once,
in any way, lowered the stand
ing of Laclede among the sur
rounding towns? Just how
much does this mean to Laclede?
January 5 McKanna, Morrow,
Linn, Murphy and Mossbarger,
(changed to Deininger and
King in the last half met the
Wheeling team on Laclede's
court. The score was a to Is
in Laclede's favor. George. Cal
laway of the Chillicothe Business
College, refereed.
January 6 the home boys de-
feated Brookfeld on the latter's
court with a score of 43 to II.
The lineup consisted of Nor
row, Linn, McKanna, Deininger
and Murphy, and with Moss
barger and King for the last
half. Mr.. Green, coach of the
Brookfield team, refereed.
Come out Friday evening OF
this week and see our boys give
the Hale team the surprise of its
young life. The game is to be
called at 7:30 with Galloway as
referee. Admission 15c and 25c.
1t promises to be one of the
fastest games of the season.
The Laclede basket ball team
has joined the Northeast con-
ference. The tournament takes
place at Kirksville in April. To
win the championship of this
conference, a consid crab lie
amount of backing, as we'll as
practice, is required.
Come out and support your
boys-and bring your purse and
pep. M. V. L.

D BEAJ||FY THE
PUBLIC HIGHWAY
Mnrristo,Dn Sun

The Tennessee Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, cooperating with the
state highway commission, has re-
solved to undertake the work of
identifying the permanent highways
of the state. As state chairman of
this work, Mrs. R. S. C. Berry of this
city has been appointed.
Mrs. Berry's recommendation will
include a county chairman for each
county in the state traverscd by a
permanent government highway this
county chairman to secure from the
various organizations of the county
one representative each to compose a
general county committee for plant
ing the highways III honor of the SOL
diers of the great world war. This
committee would enlist the various
organizations, firms and individuals,
to subscribe one or more trees, would
secure from reliable nurseryman
estimates and guarantees for living
trees, etc.
If approved in Hamblen, the plan
includes the possibility of marking
the trees in sections, for each boy
who enlisted, the placing of suitable
roadside markers for those WHO gave
their lives in service; a IAmblen
county archway, perhaps, at each en-
trance to the county on this perma-
nent highway and the privilege per-
haps, Of naming the boy for whom
trees are taken and choosing the sec
ton as far as possible in the order
taken.
Hamblen's permanent highway is
practically finished at one end it is
not too soon to plan for planting
these trees. w. I. FISHERMAN, state
highway commissioner for East, Ten
nessee, and j, 0. Tyler, county road
commissioner, both heartily approve
and promise any needed support.
Mrs. c, S. Stephens has been named
county chairman, and it is hoped
that all organizations, firms, and in
dividuals interested will generously
support her work. 1t is an endeavor
eminently worth while, and of COM
polling interest.
Similar plans are being successful
ly executed in other states can not
Hambien lead the way in Tennessee
for beautiful roadway, a dignifed
memorial to her soldier boys, a won
derful gift to posterity, and glori-
Gus advertisement for old Hamblen?

The whole rural world Is In a fer
ment of unrest. and there Is an nm
pnralIeled volume and intensity Of de-
termined, II not angry, protest, and an
omlnous swarming Of occupatlonal con
ferences, interest groupings, political
movements and propaganda. Such
turmoil cnnnot but arrest our atten-

study and examination. 1t Is not like
~ that six million alOof and ruggedly
independent men have come together
and banded themselves into active
unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so
forth, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conclu-
sively proves that, while there Is much
overstatement of grievances and mis-
conception of remedies, the farmers
are right In complaining Of wrongs
long endured, and right in holding that
II ls feasible to relieve their ills with
benefit to the rest Of the community.
This heing the case of an industry
that contributes, in the raw material
form alone, about one-third of the ma
tional annaal wealth production and
is the means of livelihood of about 40
per cent of the population, II Is OBJ
viOus that the subject is one OF grave
concern. Not only do the farmers

sources of the nation.
The war showed convincingly how
dependent the nation is on the full
productivity Of the farms. Despite
herculean efforts, agricultural produc-
ton kept only a few weeks or months
ahead Of consumption, and that only
by increasing the acreage of certain
staple crops at the cost of reducing
that of others. We ought not to for
get that lesson when we ponder on
the farmers problems. They are truly
common problems, and there should
be no attempt to deal with them as
