cascara Bark.

The supply of cascara bark is linn fted. Although barberry trees are found in California, Oregon and other states, they are not as numerous as in Washington. The supply there is being rapidly depleted, each year the gatherers going further into the swampy depths of the forests. The bark renews itself in time, but the second growth is not as desirable as the old and contains less pungent medicinal sap.
 Many kinds of medicines, favorS and drugs are made from the bar berry bark and it is used around the world.

A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.

| have sold my entire interest in
the grocery and undertaking business
in Lexington to my former partner,
Mr.. j. w. Wright, and my good will
goes very heartily with the sale.
The business has prospered' and my
only reason for retiring from the firm
of Wright & Montgomery is the fact
that my other interests and connec-
tions demand my whole time and
have determined to hereafter carry no
business interests that Ican not give
at least part of my time and person
al attention. CT
j After more than 1S years of close
business relations with Mr.. Wright, in
which we have trusted each other to
the fullest extent, it is my very great
pleasure to commend him to the peo-
pie as man who is, under all circura-
stances, worthy of the fullest trust
and confidence. 81
| sincerely thank the people for the
very fair share of local and counts
patronage they have given the firm
of Wright & Montgomery and trust
that they may continue to give Mr..
Wright generous share of their
trade.
Respectfully,
A. S. MONTGOMERY.

affair when they entertained the
Bridge Club on last Thursday evening
In spite of the threatening snow
storm every guest was present at the
time appointed and were graciously
received by both, the hostess prettily
dressed in black georgette with bead

The rooms thrown open for the oc-
casion were artistically decorated
with potted plants and winter flow
|ers.
Four games of bridge were played,
the first awards being given to Mrs.
w. l.. Drake and Mr.. Burke Heron,
both handsome oil paintings, the work

NEwBERRY IN WRONG PLACE.

Truman. H. Newberry, of Michigan,
for whom the best that can be said is
that seat in the United States SEN
ate was bought for him at the approx
innate cost of two hundred thousand
dollars, was "vindicated" in that body
on Thursday evening Of last week.
by every Democrat and nine Republi-
can members voting against such ac-
tion, Newberry had claimed that the
money was spent without his knowl-
edge-and it is safe to say that not a
man in the United States, in the Sem
ate or out, believes there was even a
morsel of truth or sincerity in that
self-serving statement, for however
mean and lost to all sense Of decency
he may be- nobody accures Newberry
of being a fool.
There is not an horest or honorable
man in the United States who envies
Newberry's seat in the Senate
bought at the price he paid for it, and
the men who voted to put him in the
Senate instead of the pen are entitled
to but little if any more respect than
Newberry. And saddest of all, the
United States Senate stands lower to-
day in the esteem of honest men than
it ever has since this government was
founded.

and Mr.. Wilson regard each other:
"The message sent me on the occa-
sion of my birthday by the Democrat
lie executive committee of Tennessee
and other Democrats from every
county in the state gave me geunine
pleasure.
! hope you will have some opportun-
ity to express to all of them my deep
appreciation as well as my congratu-
lations on the prospects of the party
and on the choice of that fine Tennes-
see Democrat, Cordell Hull, as the
head of the national committee.

AMONG THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS

/ wish once more to call the .attcn-
tion of the teachers that you are not
giving the truant officer your best
support. There are some teachers who
never report to him your absentees
from school and complaint comes to
me from some of the-patrons that GER
tain students are not in school. These
reports are due at the end of each
week and let me urge that you send
them at once. This does not apply to
you if you have been sending your re-
ports in on time.
How many teachers are going to
take advantage of the summer school
and professional training work this
summer? The teachers of this coun
ty should take advantage of the op-
portunity, taking this work at the
Normal, at Union University at jack
son, at Peabody, or at the University
of Tennessee. i wish to call your at
tention to Teachers course to begin
at the University of Tennessee April
oath and ending June End. This is
rare opportunity for you if you want
to begin at that date and continue
through the Summer School there. !
hope that some of the teachers will
attend this Spring session.
Did you know that you do not have
to go to Memphis or Nashville to get
teachers professional work? You are
able to get this work at the Lexing-
ton High School. This class is doing
good work and you would be greatly
benefited by it. You can take this
work if you have a certificate or if
you are junior or senior in the High
School. Let me urge that you take
advantage of the things offered at
home. This is a good chance for you
if you will take it. Come in when pos
sible and you will be able to join the
class then.
As some of the schools are nearing
close, / wish to remind you that your
final abstract report will soon be due
and that you must remember that it
must be accompanied by an affidavit
that il is true report. Don't forget
this as | am required by law to with
hold your last months warrant until
this part of the law is complied with.

"At the conclusion of the discharge
the clectrolyite of the battery was on

"A Gill Battery, operating a Chev-
rolet Baby Grand, few weeks ago
made its 355th complete discharge in
a period of demonstration of two
weeks, or an average of more than %
complete discharges a day-without
taking the battery out for recharge
on the line.
"In all tests to date, it has not been
found necessary to recharge any bat
terry except by using the generator on
the car, set at the usual charging
rate"
Can aything be more convincing?
We urge you to see the Gill battery
for yourself. Submit it to your own
test. We are confident that you will
insist upon the Gill for your next
batter"
The Lexington Auto Battery Com
pany has the exclusive sale of the
Gill Battery in West Tennessee and
will establish offices at the most i'm
portant points in their territory. At
present they have a good stock of bat
teries in their office at the Brown

wanting batteries to give them a call.

LEAGUE OFFICERS ENTER
TANNED.

Misses Blanche and Mary Thread
gill, on last Friday night entertained
the officers of the local Epworth
League, in their home on Huntingdon
street.
Several contests were had, after the
business session was concluded and
the most important was won by Mr..
w. l.. Bobibtt.
Refreshments in the form of am
brosia, with cake and whipped cream
were served, and the young lady hos.
tesses exerted themselves to make the
occasion one of the most enjoyable of
the several had in connection with the
League.
The Epworth League has proven to
be a live organization in Lexington
and the 81 members are starting in to
make 1922 even a better year than
they made 1921. The intermediate
League has about 25 members and the
Junior approximately twenty-hence
the number enlisted in the work
shows the geunine interest the organ
ization has developed.

THE BREEZES.

The crispiest breeze may shout from
out the North,
With biting hints of snow that is
coming forth;
The dullest breezes, whispering from
the East,
Come sying, sad of comforts all

The laughing zephyrs many hearts
have blest,
Lighthearted, singing of their Col

But fragrant and soft, with honey in

The sweetest breeze is the breeze

Il
in store for you when you install a
Gill-the battery that has no separs'
tors?
But why, you ask, are separators
sr0ch an evil gaNias - ..ss.s'ss s''ss
Simply because they retard the nee
essary circulation of the sulphuric
acis and water in the battery. In him
dering this circulation the life of the
battery is materially lessened.
Let us point out how circulation
damages battery:
During the discharge period, such
as takes place when you start your
motor, the acid enters the plates.
While the acid is in the plates, the
place is formerly occupied in the sep
arators becomes filled with water
this due to capillary action.
Now then, as soon as the battery
starts to charge there is reverse ac-
tion. The acid is driven out of the
plates by the electric current from the
generator. However, by the time the
acid can mix with the water, and be
back to where it was formerly, seri-
Gus damage has been done. The pow
erful acid being forced against the
separators in almost full strength,
eventually burns them. And because
the acid is non-conductor of cleo
tricity, it sets up a resistance to the
current, creating excessive heat,
which warps and buckles the plates.
What follows? Short circuits oc-
cur which render your battery use
less. You take it to a shop and there
is a big repair bill. The unhappy part
about the whole procedure is that ev-
en- after the battery has been put in
order, you face the same trouble
again.
The Gill Battery Has No Separators.
In the Gill Battery all this trouble
is eliminated. The absence of separ-
ators permits free circulation of the
acid and water. When the acid leaves
the plates during the charge, it mix
es so freely with the water that little
heat is created. The destructive
force of the acid is kept at mini
mum. There is never a point in the
Gill Battery where the specific gray-
ity of the acid solution should exceed
1850.
Think what this means to you from
the standpoint of freedom of battery
expense and worry. No longer need
you face the bills for having new sep
arators put in your battery. No Ion
ger need you burn your lights in the
daytime to prevent the ruinous eff
fects of overcharge. By the elimina-
ton of separators ninety-five per cent
of battery troubles are eliminated.

SITUATION IN
BUILDING LINE
is UNCHANGED

There is very little, If any, change
in the building lockout situation in the
Twin Cities, the men being still iZlls,
without any special disposition on
either side to make the first move
ment towards adjusting matters. II
is felt by the union men that 1t would
be useless in the face of "open shop"
agitation and weather conditions to
attempt to reach settlement.
Outside men are arriving daily to
take the places of the locked-out
men, being brought here by advertise
ments Of the Associated Employers,
but most of them "blow" as soon as
they learn local conditions, so the
influx of outsiders is not SO great as
to cause any especial alarm. "Car-
penters" arriving from the northern
part of the county, upon being offered
40 cents an hour, refused to go to
work at that trade, and have left for
jobs on the hard roads.
In the meantime, local business men
are complaining bitterly about "slow
trade" They are beginning to see
the cause, and, from what they say,
are not so favorably impressed with
"open shop" conditions as they were
a few weeks ago.

GREAT CONSPIRACY AGAINST

ting It's side Of the question before
the public.
There Is a specious argument often
used to turn the anger Of the con-
sumner against labor. II In charged
that the greatest item In the costs OF
production Of any article Ia the wage
paid to the laborer. and that conse-
quently the high prices prevailing at
the present time are due TO the re-
fusal Of labor TO agree TO reduc-
tion Of wages. That seems 10 clinch
the argument and put labor In the
wrong. Still in spite Of this fact,
labor Is not absorbing the national
wealth; IL Is not even becoming ap-
preciably richer. But that ought TO
be the case II the largest share OF
the prices of the product actually
went to labor. IL must not be for
gotten that the resources Of nature
are given gratis and that the only
thing that costs is labor A small
percentage of profit taken from an
extensive surface will amount to
very much, especially If levied on a
commodity which nature offers free OF
charge. II is not the purpose Of this
article to claim that the cause OF
labor is absolutely just and that labor
Is responsible for none Of the evils OF
the hour that 30 sorely yex all classes
of society. IL merely wishes to show
that the verdict against labor Is based
on a one-sided presentation of the

BUILDING TRADES WAGES % NOT DECLINE

Labor costs in the construction
field probably are as low as they win

aided materially IN the reduction Of

since the hrst Of the year has been
remarkable and at present there Is no
reason TO doubt the permanent char

evidence suggests that building aetiu-

demand for building trades labor In
some localities has absorbed the
