Special Inducement.

AS a special inducement to buy q
range during the demonstration of
the Great Majestic Range at the
store of F. G.. Wehman, Aug. 21-2S,
every purchaser of one of these fa-
nous ranges gets his choice of two
fine cooking sets 1ree. We have q
presentiment that there are going to
be many fine new Majestic Ranges in
the kitchens of our neighbors and
friends before the week is over. The
temptation to own a Majestic is ire
sistible when one learns the facts
about Great Majestic in its relations
to economy in the home; many will
find themselves saying it's no use to
put up with an old range any longer

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR
GENERAL RALLY DAY

Last Sunday was a big day for the
C. P. Endeavorers. 1t was rally day
and if you didn't rally with them you
missed the time of your life. The
! big c. E. parade composed of Endeay-
orers from the six Union City soci-
eties, Rives and Newbern, started
from the park at 2 o'clock, drove
over town, ending at the church at
2:30 Mr.. Clark Williamson, District
| President was there to conduct the
rally, and he brought with him
Mr.. Holloman Parks, from Newbern
to tell us about the All-South Con-
vention at Hot Springs. Mr.. Parks
went to that convention and came
home just bubbling over with enthu
siasm. One thing he told us which
was very interesting was that four
teen delegates went from Northwest
District, and all of these were from
C. P. Churches. Mr.. Williamson pre-
sented the coming State Convention
at Knoxville, and secured promises Of
II registrars from Obion County So
cieties. He had already secured %
promised registrations in rallies
which he has been holding over the
district recently, which makes
total of As registrations from North
west. We have only 10 more to Sc
cure now to reach our goal and there
is yet another rally to be held, so we
feel sure of going over the top.
Northwest will shine" at Knoxville.
Miss Euline Cummings, of Rives,
made splendid talk on graded G. e.
In Northwest District there are
churches now with graded G. E.
that is, three grades of c. E. in one
church. OF these eight churches, five
are Cumberland Presbyterian.
Mr.. Erwin Matchett, of the Chris
tian Society, Union City, talked on
the monthly service plan and sang
the song Of the M. S. P. Superintend-
ents, Report, Report, Report"
Mr.. Williamson placed before us
the Importance Of supporting our
State work by society pledges, and
we were glad to know that most of
the Obion County societies have al
ready made their pledges. The In
termediates of the G. P. Church, I'm
ion City, had been organized only q
short time and had not made their
pledge, so they gave theirs at this |
time.
Mr.. Ollie Sowell, of the Mount Her
mon society, conducted the devo-
tional in a splendid way, urging the
to make the most of
their opportunities and press for
ward toward the goal
The Intermediate and Senior So
cieties held their regular meetings at
7 o'clock. Mr. Williamson and Mr..
Parks were guests of the Senior So
ciety. Miss Vieva Roper led the meet
ing, and the talks given by Mr.. Will
hanson and Mr.. Rex Naylor were
enjoyed.
The Corresponding Secretary OF
he Senior society received mes
,age last week from our Southern Sec
'etary of the United Society Of Chris
ian Endeavor, Mr.. Charles F. Evans,
stating that he and the new Field
for Tennessee, Mr.. Bert G.
Zones, will be with them Sunday,

ally day for Union City and neigh {
,oring societies and much enethusi-
sm is being manifested in the pro- s

COUNTY nurse
|. FINDS DEFECTS
OF LITTLE FOLK

That the nurse, wanted for
Marion county by the county
health association, would discover
many children in need of atten-
tion whose condition might not be
known even by their parents, is
the belief of Mrs. ]. A. Carson,
president of the organization
which has requested the county
court to employ a nurse. Thou
sands of such cases have been
found by county nurses working
in various communities over the
United States, she said.
All of the persons working with
the county health organization,
with the exception of the nurse,
are to serve without cent of pay.
Theirs is a labor purely for the
good Of the community, it was ex-
planned.
Members of the organizations
have received a great deal Of en-
couragement from Marion county
residents in favor OF the county
nurse plan, Mrs. Carson said.
Although handicapped in the
past, the county health association
has accomplished considerable,
Mrs. Carson explained. On many
occasions children in families
forced to economic have been
brought to Salem where specialists
have treated them with no thought
Of remuneration Salem doctors
have shown wonderful coopera-
lion, she declared. Much help has
been given mothers and fathers al
the several clinics
II was said that action from the
Marion county court is hoped for
in the near future.

PRUNE ORCHARDS
SHY OF P|CKERS

1.-THE prune drying is about
one-third over now and the pros
poets are that there will be the
best season this year than has
been experienced for number of
years." Earl Pearcy, district man
ager of the Willae4ette valley dis
trict of the Oregon Growers asso-
citation, said this morning. So far,
the season for picking has been as
near perfect as could be wished,
he said.
The one problem that has been
troubling the growers has been
pickers. However. with the end
of the hop picking season fast
drawing to a close and it is ex-
pected that most of those who will
be thrown out of work will go to
the prune orchards. For this rea-
son it is thought that should any
unusual falling of prunes the
growers will not lose.
1t was estimated by Mr.. Pearcy
this morning that there would be
approximately 60 million pounds
of prunes this year. The dryers
are running to capacity and very
little of the fruit is spelling before
it can be dried.

1T is regrettable that the allied

human life. The work Of all the
vessels on the night of the fire
was magnificent, but on the sue
ceeding days when the impulse OF
the great disaster disappeared,
there was lull in their energy
and spirit.
IF we had kept UP the work,
there now would be no evacuation
problem and thousands would
have been saved which might 9TH
erwise be deported or killed.

NO APPEAL FOR
REINSTATEMENT
INITIATIVE BILLS

No appeal will be taken from
the DEGREES OF Judges Kelly and
Bingham in the injunction suits
against the interest rate amend
ment, the fishing bill and the
grange income tax measure for the
present at least and speculation
here is to the effect that the de-
crees of the circuit court knock
ing these three initiated bills OF
the November ballot will be per-
mitted to stand as final.
Secretary of State Kozer stated
this morning that he still had the
matter of appeal under advise
ment.
Inasmuch as the secretary OF
state has been made the goat" In
these three suits involving fraud
and irregular eertifications on the
part Of a group of notaries public
in Portland, it is argued here, that
it is not within his province 60
carry fight not of his own choos-
ing up to the higher court.
Specially, 1t is pointed out here,
would there be no object In ap-
pealing from the decrees in the
cases of the income tax measure
and the fishing bill in both Of
which cases testimony before the
lower courts showed conclusively
the resort to fraud in filling out
the initiative petitions. In the
case of the interest rate amend
ment in which the fate OF the
rests upon points Of law
rather than upon the acts of the

suit in changing the verdict of the
lower court, it is argued.

STRIKE ruling
/ ON SATURDAY
Judge WilkersOn Defers
Decision on Strike In
junction But Continues
1t Temporarily.

Chicago, Sept. 21-Judge James
H. Wilkerson this afternoon de
ferred decision on the govern
ment's bill for a temporary in
junction against the railroad
strikers until Saturday and CON
tinued the restraining order now
in effect until that time.
In effect, the court told the at
torneys. the extension is tempo
rary injunction, as the restrain
ing order itself expires tonight al
midnight.
Judge Wilkerson said the delay
would give him time to study the
evidence further.
He set Saturday morning at II
o'clock for his decision.
Attorney General Daughterty
reached court at 2:30 O'Clock and
gave his final approval to the in
junction draft which his associ-
ates have prepared while Mr.. Nc
Laughlin finished the govern
ment's closing argument.
Virtually the only difference
between the proposed injunction
and the temporary restraining or
der now in effect, the government
attorneys said, is in the list OF per-
sons named.
Practically all the drastic claus
es of the restraining order havt
been retained, they said.
Attorney Richberg In his argu-
ment today attacked the conten-
ton of government attorneys that
strike of railway employees,
which through numbers or peace
able methods would be legitimate,
in other industrial disputes would
necessarily interfere with inter
state commerce and this would be
unlawful, even though no unlaw-
full means were used. He contend
ed the railway employees have the
same right as other employees to
act collectively to promote their in
terests, including the right to
strike.

municated to the council to the
effect that he has great confidence
In the results OF the collaboration

ton and Rear Admiral Brock.
Opinion here for the moment is
banking on the strength OF the
British naval force In the Daraa-

cient alone to hold any possible

Soviet Hopes for Recognition. ~
According to the Times, the
Russian soviet government sees in
the present Near Eastern situa-

proposes, the newspaper says, to
act the part of mediator between
the Turks and Greeks hoping
thereby to establish the popular
ity OF the soviet republic among
the peoples of Mohammedan Asia
and compel the entente powers to
revise their attitude toward her.
Foreseeing opposition to this
course, she has instructed her rep
resentatiye abroad to placate hos
