STARS OF THE FLAG

Now they are having little con
troversy over the position of the stars
in the blue field on the national en-
sign. They are laid out in straight
lines with mathematical exactness,
while everybody knows that the stars
in the heavens are hodgepodged in
astronomical splendor. Some would
arrange the stars Of the flag to rep
resent the Capitol, Niagara Falls or
some other design. Since the Eigh-
teenth Amendment went into effect it
would be appropriate to set the stars
after the pattern of the Great Dipper
upside down. In this age it is not
even expected that the American flag
can be accepted without criticism.

THE NEW YEAR

Ia ~
With the whirling and drifting of
SHOWS
Comes breathless the wild New
Year;
While bitter north wind blows,
Ger the fields that lie stark and
drear.
Yet hope is alight in her eyes
As she looks from the heart Of the
storm,
Earth sleeps in her shroud," she
cries,
"But the life in her heart is warm,
death is but a dream of the night
And the hymn of JOY is begun,
For slowly seeking the light
The great globe turns to the sun.
"Behold, l will bring delight
In place of darkness and cold;
Safe under the meadows so white
Is hiding the buttercup gold.
"And summers spendor shall reign
In place of the winters dearth,
Her color and music again
Shall gladden. the patient earth
Hank to the New Years Voice
Through the murk Of winter drear!
On, children of men, rejoice!
At the tidings of hope and cheer.

German dyes are finding a renewed
and enlarged market in Japan. The
Japanese dyes are very good, but in
most colors the Germans excel 1t
must be admitted that the Germans
know how to dye. If the Kaiser and

many Of them would not have had to
die while those who dye best would
not have dyed in vain.

EX SERVICE MEMS INSURANCE.

Atlanta, Ga, April 4.-Service men
in Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida and Tennessee will
be asked by the United States Veter-
ans Bureau to reinstate $10,000,000
worth of government insurance dur
ing April, according to Joe Sparks,
Liaison Officer, National Headquar-
ters American Legion. The instruc-
tions for the campaign which is to
be staged April 10th to 18th have
been sent to the Fifth District organi-
zations and service bodies have been
asked by the bureau and the American
Legion to give assistance.
IL consider this an important
move," said Mr. Sparks, because all
service men should take advantage of
the government insurance. | am urg-
ing all Legion posts to support the
movement to the limit. With the
proper effort at least $l0,000,000
worth of insurance should be reinstat-
ed. 1t is very simple matter for a
service man to take advantage of this
generous offer by the Government"
The State Commanders of the le-
gion in the several states have been
asked to support the movement. Gov
ernors of the several States will be
asked to issue proclamations urging
service men to reinstate their insur-
ance.
District Manager Bryson will place
the full machinery of the Veterans
Bureau back of the campaign.

PEOPLE WHO DISAPPEAR.

f. T. Ellison, writing in the Tennes-
sean, says that in one day recently
eight persons dropped out of sight
in Brooklyn, New York-they just
went out walking and never came
back. In New York City the police
department has a missing persons bu-
reau and through its efforts many
missing persons are traced. Speaking
of missing persons, the Ellison article
calls attention to the fact that annu-
ally sixty thousand girls disappear
from the United States-or, more ac-
curately speaking, IN the United
States. Greater New York being now
called the biggest city in the world,
more of everything happens there
than elsewhere, hence it is the favor
it place to disappear. A majority of
are said to be inten-
tional. June is the favorite month
to disappear and trouble over school
exams and home friction are the
chiefest causes, with the foolish
age" from 10 to 20 leading. In New
York City alone from the Spring of
1920 to the Spring of 1921, as many as
2 100 people dropped out of sight and
the year following the number ran ov-
or 2,2O0.

LEXINGTON TENNESSEE. FRIDAY. APRIL ?, 1922
SENATOR LEROY PERCY
MAKES A SPEECH.

Not long ago a colonel" of the Ku
Klux Klan went from Atlanta, Geor-
gia, to Greenville, Washington county,
Mississippi, to make a speech in be-
half of the Klan and when he con-
cluded Former United States Senator
Leroy Percy 70 brother of Will A.
Percy, of Memphis, who died in Nash
vile, while a member of the legisla-
ture, few years ago) asked permis-
sion to answey him-and did answer
him so effectively that at the close of
the meeting an Anti Ku Klux resolu-
tion was adopted. From the state
ments of Senator Percy we get the
fact that in the thriving city of
Greenville and in the prosperous
count yof Washington, whites and
blacks, Protestants, Jews and Cath
olics are living together in amity and
good fellowship-each body perform
ing their parts and all getting along
as neighbors should. Senator Percy
stressed one most important fact
that the South is dependent upon ne
gro labor-and that where disguised
ku KluX appear at night, the negro
soon disappears. He said that if the
Ku Klux were to make three parades
through Washington Co., grass would
grow in the streets of Greenville-and
it would. There are said to be mill
lion Ku Klux, but if there were ten
millions it would be no recommended
tion to the plan of enforcing the law
by the operations of men behind
masks at the dark hours of the night.
Senator Percy's very moderate speech
will appeal to any man who has in his
heart the real w-abinding spirit.

GOOD AND TIMELY WORDS.

IL you elect an incompetent gov
ernor or an incompetent legislature,
the failure to perform is not theirs.
you get just what you-bought-incom-
petence.
The indications are that Tennessee
is taking stock of its own delinquen-
cies. The light is spreading. From
Carter to Shelby, there are grumblings
of discomfort coupled with conscious
ness of self-responsibility. That is a
mighty good sign.
II literally matters very little who
is elected governor this year, If the is
sues are clear cut and understood by
the candidates alike.
1t matters a great deal, however,
who is sent to the legislature. The
member of the General Assembly is
the connecting link between the peo-
pie back home and the government. II
these members are to perform accord
ing to expectations, the people back
home must make their viii known and
then must hold their representatives
and senators responsible when they
stray from the path.
In the selection of candidates for
the legislature there is, after all, only
one question that the individual tax
payer need ask himself: Would /
trust this man to conduct my private
business ?" If you can answer that
question in the affirmative, then you
may rest assured that you will have a
pretty good representative at Nash
vile to look after your affairs--Ten-
nessean.

SECOND YEAR HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS ENTERTAINS.

The entire membershi pof the Coun-
ty Court, the County Officials and the
County Board of Education had ex-
tended to them an invitation to enjoy
a midday luncheon in the High School
building last Monday-and nearly all
the invited quests were present.
Immediately after arrival at the
High School building the luncheon
was announced and the guests found
the ong table spread and decorated in
RED, White and Red" in the base
ment dining Hall. Superintendent ].
o. Brown was Master of Ceremonies
and, as usual functioned satisfactorily
in the capacity. Following the talk by
Prof. Brown were brief remarks by
Esq. T. G. lowers, DIR. C. E. Bolen,
County Judge L. B. Johnson, Judge T.
A. Lancaster and Mr.. ]. w. Ballard,
of the County Board of Education and
Superintendent of County Schools r.
+. Powers. While none of the speech
es were long, there were so many that
want of space forbids attempting to
even outline them. However, all were
good and all except the members of
the court themselves spoke in COM
mendation of the court actions
which made possible the splendid
High SCHOOL, structure which stands
on the front of its own forty acres Of
land.
In the gathering Of men so init
mately connected with the educational
affairs of Henderson county, we heard
no note of pessimism but expressed
determination that the children of
Henderson county shall have as good
educational advantages as are enjoy
ed by the children of far wealthier
counties of the State.
The repast, one fit for the gods, was
composed Of the following menu
Creamed Chicken in Timble Cases
Pineapple Fritters Corn Pudding
Hot Bisuit Coffee
Pickles
Almond Salad Waters

/ am advised to get our church to
take steps to make this Sacred day
to our beloved dead more solemn to
some who seem to think it day of
pleasure.
A cemetery, like a newly made
grave, does not remind us so much OF
the Resserection, as one with beau
tiful trees and flowers. Bad weather
has interferred with out meetings
and no committees have been appoint
ed to see to such things. ! for one,
have said, and still say, that our
school, church and community ought
to advance to spheres of more useful
ness. Tree planting day has passed,
but Sunday School, Bible reading and
song service days have not all passed.

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or an attack of grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this rem
edy may be obtained for a trifle. All
druggists.

The blacklist spot on the Christian

that the inhuman Mohammedan Turk
has been allowed to butcher hundreds
of thousands of Armenians-and
new pact with Turkey still allows that
country to dominate unfortunate Ar
