Armistice Day at Tcnnessee
Slate Normal.
As we call back three years
ago, the eleventh of this Nov.,
we are reminded of many fond
memories. Yes, fond, because
they are recorded in past his
tory, instead of being in the
midst of those perlious times
now, or having them to come in
the future and to -realize that
they must be - met by the best
that America possesed.
The day passed off with con
siderable pleasure for the ex
service boys. Grouping the
boys of this Post of the ""Ameri
can Legion" and the men, who
are taking vocational training
in the Middle Tennessee Normal
togather, we had approximately
thjee hundred men.
The rehab boys assembled in
front of the main school build
ing about 9:45 and left singing.
"Packup Your Troubles in Your
Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile,
Smile." in order to obtain the
spirit of the occasion. They
journeyed to the Kerr Atheletic
Field, where they met the mem
bers of the Local Post They
here made the formatation and
marched down East Main Street,
in column of platoons through
the town, around the square and
back to school, where all the
people of the town met them in
the main auditorium of the
school building.
Lt Ridley, commander of the
Local Post presided at the meet
ing. President R. L Jones de
livered the speech of welcome to
to the ex-service men. Major
Whitaker of Chattanooga follow
ed President Jones with an ad
dress. He reviewed briefly the
days in France and then men
tioned the heroes, who now rest
in "Inlander's Field," specially
emphising the fact that they
must never be forgotten. From
this part of his address he went
to the American Legion, reading
its preamble and discussed in a
way the ideals of the Legion and
the things that it .stands for.
But I must pass hurriedly to
the most enjoyable part of the
occasion. The men were ask to
pass to the basement of the
main buiding, where the Ladies
Business Club had spread one of
the most elaborate dinners that
was ever viewed by human eye
Dean Lyons returned thanks
and the attack was started.
The menu was to much to
even attempt to make mention of
it here.
By this time the spirit of the
occasion was running high. At
tention was caiiea ana in one
corner one fellow called out
"I shoot a quarter." The cry
went up from all over the house
"shoot you are faded." The
announcement was then made
that all ex-service men would be
admitted to the ball game free.

NEW JUDGE MEKES GIVES
CHARGE TO JURY.
Jugge Ross, of Memphis, the
new Federal Judge of West
Tenn., who is holding court at
Cookveville, in opening court last
week, made a forceful charge to
the jurymen.
Judge Rosa in his charge to
the grand jury said "Gentlemen,
I would like to impress upon you
the importance and seriousness
of your position. You stand as
impartial arbiters between the
the people of the United States
and the law violators, and it is
your duty to do equal justice to
both. Upon your efforts depends
in a large manner, the enforce
ment of the laws of your coun
try. As I understand, the most
common and frequent violations
of the law in this district are the
violations of the prohibition laws.
Gentlemen, it does not matter
whether you are in sympathy
with the liquor traffic or wheth
er you oppose it, nor does it
matter what your feelings are
towards the one whom the gov
ernment seeks to indict, you are
bound by oath to weigh the evi
dence presented and if you are
satisfied that a violation of the
law has been committed, you
must indict. Anyone who en
ters the liquor traffic is certain'
ly to be blamed and most rightly
condemed, as he knows it is
wrong from start to finish, and
for that reason there is no ex
cuse them. There are laws on
the statute books against liuqor
violations and as long as they
are there, they must be enforced
and is your duty to help enforce
them. It is your duty to indict
anyone found manufacturing,
selling, transporting or posses
sing any liquor containing more
than one-half of one per cent
alcohol, no matter by what name
it be called. It is your duty to
indict the rich and influential
man who runs his still up in the
mountains. . .
I think the "big" man should
have a heavier penalty, because
he certainly knows better, and
should not be allowed to mask
his law violation behind a cloak
of respectability. Gentlemen
you must close your eyes to the
individual and the reputation of
the man and Iook to see only if
the law has been violated. "
as ior getting whiskey on
prescription Judge Ross said he
understood that it was much
easier to buy liquor up here in
the mountains than it was to go
to the trouble of getting a doc
tors prescription. Judge Ross
told the jury that it was their
duty to indict anyone, who either
gave or received a prescription
in bad faith.
Judge Ross scored the "ino
cent bystanders," who, when
caught at a still, denied any
knowledge of it one man saying
that he stumbled upon it acci
dentally while out walking.
Another one said that he had
heard that there was a still up
there and wanted to see one in
operation, while another one
said that he was rounding up his
hogs aud just ran across the
still. But nine ont of ten, he
said, are guilty of either, owning
or partly owning or operating
stills, and should be indicted ac
cordingly. Judge Ross said that the most
despisable of all the liquor vio
lators was the bootlegger, who
had the least excuse for living.
He lrke the maker, was m it for
the money, but was far worse.
However, he said, tne man who
bought the liquor waa just as
bad, if not worse than the boot
legger, and the punishment for
offenses was far too mild. '
"Gentlemen, you should go
after the consumer," said Judge
Ross, "the higher -he- stands in
a community, the more diligent
ly you should search for viola
tions of the law. If the demand
for whisky can be broken np.
why, naturally, the making will
cease."
Judge Ro3s criticized those
who have been circulating the
report that there are more drunk
ards now than before prohibi
tion, and declared that it was
merely propaganda on the part
of the "wets," in their effort to
kill the liquor laws.
"Laws were not made simply
to punish people," "said Judge f
Ross, "but were made to protect
society. The government must
protect all law-abiding citizens,
and as you gentlemen are the
representatives of the'. govern
ment, it is to your interest to
see that the laws are enforced."
In speaking of those who testi
fy before the court Judge Ross
said that as long as men come
into court and swear falsley.
and are allowed to get away
with it, just so long would they
continue to do it until the courts
of this country became a mock
ery, If a party should maKe a
statement to a commissioner or
to the grand jury and then came
before the court and changed
his original statement, or should
he make a plea of guilty and
then change his plea to -not guil
ty, he was guilty of purjury and
should be indicted.

850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FGR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 Re
lief When 65,000 Families
j Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three disasters, resulting In
the death in the United States of 850 ;
persons and the Injury of S,iuu eauea
for emergency relief measured and
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
Amerlcnn Red Croas during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1021, says an
announcement based upon the forth
coming annual report of the lied Cross.
Themi rtltumtpri muttonl nroncrtv dam
age estimated- at $80,000,000, affected J
sixty-seven communities and rendered
05,000 fumiHos homeless.
The year's disasters were of vary
ing types, Including several which pre
viously had never been thought of
as falling within that classifica
tion. The . Bed Cross furnished
relief in seventeen fires of magnitude,
five floods, seven tornadoes or cy
clones, one devastating storm, three
explosions, Including the one In Wall
street; one building accident, twj
typhoid epidemics, the most serious be
ing that at Salem, Ohio, which af
fected 0 per cent of the popuiutlon;
one smallpox epidemic, In the republic
of Ilultl ; one train wreck, the race riot
at Tulsa, Okla.; the famine lo China,
emergency relief in famine umong the
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague In North Dakota and an earth
quake In Italy.
' Pueblo Moat Serious
By far the most severe of the dis
asters In the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re
port was the Pueblo flood early in
June, 1021. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pudblo was one of the most difficult
In recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre
ciating the long and successful experi
ence of the Red Cross in organising
disuster . relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility for the administra
tion of relief in Its hands.
In response to appeals from Presi
dent Ilurding, Governor Shoup and
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organisa
tions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re
habilitation te more than $323,000.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter of record.
More than 2,300 homes were affoctod
and 7,351 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $900,000 as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials in charge of the
relief work.
Past Work In Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota
ble In that relief workers of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique In
disaster relief annals in that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con
tributed by the Red cross, tne only
relief measures outside the city con
sisted of the service of social work
era. nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
In directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the- proportions of , a major disaster,
This occurred on April 15, In the bor
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
It covered so much rural territory as
te make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by. far the most serious of the
foreign disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra
tion of disaster relief measures, an In
creasing effectiveness on the part ef
the Red Cross to deal with emergen
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 323 Chapters of the Ameri
can Red Cross there have heen formed
special committees to survey the re
sources of their respective communi
ties and to be prepared in case of
disaster. In others of the 3,402 acUve
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which instan
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States,
That its work In this field may be
continued with ever greater effective
ness, the American Red Cross is ap
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November 11 to 21
