TOE FAYETTE FALCON W. T, LCSGISS, EDITG1 PE2P. Entered at tbe postoffke ef Somerville, Tenn., second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 A YEAR THE SPENDING CRJZE. One of the anomalies of the preieot situation ii that almost everybody aumea a crash of aome kind to be ahead, bat those who say the moit about it are dobs the leait to avert what can easily be turned aside if people generally wit me a - msdicum of the common aenae with which the genus homo la popularly supposed to be endowed. But when forty to fity thousand chauf feurs are employed 'in single city at wsgea from twenty to forty per cent higher than during the war; when sin gle familiei employ the services and ab aorb the Uvea of a dozen or sometimes forty to fifty servants; when flunkies by the thousands hang upon the return of their financial masters, waiting to jump at their words, whether sensible or senseless; when robust human energy at thia rate is needlessly absorbed by the few for no other reason except the fact that they have the money with which to pay for it, while men are needed to work the land, to produce the the food of the people and to provide something like adequate transportation; when theater tickets will sell at five dollara and up; when moving-picture relays stretch crowds out into the street, obstructing traffic both day and night; when fura are bought on the installment plan to be worn in August; when men by the hun dreds are using Pullman sleepers who do not know how to turn on the water in the lavatories, but must ride in Pullman or pay fines to the union; when boys who never earned a dollar are driving (cars by the thousand or sporting twelve to twenty dollar silk abirts-when these things are going on unchecked week after weekjmonth after month with no sign of returing sanity, it ia time t'j drive atake and to.inquire just how far we have progressed along the road to national oblivion Country Gentleman. Adoption by the House of Represent ativei of the Tennessee Legislature Wednesday by a vote of 49 to 47 is taken as being the end of the long fight for ratification of the Susan B. Anthony Woman Suffrage amendment to the Federal constitution by which the right of the women to vote in all elections in the nation on an equal footing . with men ia granted. Tennessee is the thir ty aixth state to ratify the amendment and it is thought that Secretary Colby of President .Wilson's cabinet will at once issue a proclamation declaring the aaid amendment a part of the consti tution and binding on all the atates. Both of Fayette county's represent ativea in the present legislature voted againat ratification, Bon. J, B. Sum mers in the senate and Hon. H. P.

Urge sans to so-called "Beauty Dot tors" ia tin be lief that mosey will, buy youth. Others wear girlish dresses, thinking they eaa fool the world about their age. But mo one is deceived.

Y. . . i The papers tell us that prices of the necessities are tending downward and that things are going to cost less than in the past. But with that announce ment are others, that coal continues to advance, freights are advancing, pas senger costs advaocing. street car fares, gas and electric charges advancing, wages advancing in Dearly all lines, and about the onlv things we find that cost any lesa are the things that farm ers produce. Cotton is declining, cattle, bogs and sheep already below cost of production so that growers are dropping out of the business and endangering the supply of these meats, grain going down in price,; and all . the time the meats, Isrds, etc., made from the. live stock, the flour and meal made from the grains, and tbe goods made fiom the cotton are all costing consumers just about as much and in a few cases more than tbey have been costing. It appea?s to one who looks on that tbe farmers' stuff is declioiug in piica while everything he must buy is incressing snd everything everybody t-lse hss to sell increasing. Hides are down to less thsn bslf a year ago prices, but leather and shoes are do lower than last fall. Live stock prices are lower now compared to prices in 1914 than prices of any of the other principal commodi ties. Hogs this month are about 6H per cent higher than they were in July of 1914, and steers are but 56 per cent hisrher than in July, 1914. But pig iron is 333 per cent higher than in July. 1814; building material, 132 per cent higher; cotton cloth, 327 per cent higher; crude petroleum, 249 per cent higher, and wagea in New York factories 119 per cent higher. And if we tske the aver age of tbe various commodities other thsn agricultural we find it to be 261 per cent higher than in July, 1914 Ex. BURDENS LIFTED From , Somerville Backs.

"In the summer of 1888 I had a aevere attack of cholera morbus. I gave tbe hotel porter fifty cents and told him to ouy roe a bottle of Cbsmoerlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and to take no sub stitute.
