JEFF McCARN
FOLLOWING TAYLOR

Fx-General jeff McCarn is following
Senator Taylcr through the state at
tempting to offset the work of the SEN
ator. He had as we'll try to turn the
Watauga river up stream. jeff could
do it less than anyone, but no one
could do it. He wss greeted by an au-
dIence of 700 or 800 last night, republic
cans largely predominating, and was
introduced by Esq. +. B. Hensley.
He made as good speech as any DEM
ocrat could in the interest of a republic
can of Hooper'S size and admitted the
late deal with the republicans in the
August election by telling how he used
to do when driving wagon. When a
man helped him pull over bad piece
of road he always went back and
helped his benefactor. He is trying
now to get democrats to elect repub-
fican governor but his effort will be as
Unsuccessful as hi own race was for

CHORUS GIRL JOY RIDES,
DISCHARGED AND SUES

MEMPHIS, Dec. IAN angry
stage manager and an angry cho-
rus girl caused all sorts of en-
barrassment for George Sidney's
theatrical company here last
night, following a real joy ride
taken by Miss Bud Bradley, a
chorus girl in "The Joy Riders"
in which Sidney is starring.
Miss Bradley's real ride is said
to have resulted in her being late
at rehearsal, hence the stage man
ayers anger and her discharge.
Then she attached the company's
scenery at midnight, just as the
train was about to pull out. But
Sidney hustled around and got
enough cash to insure payment of
$460.50- salary alleged to be due
to Miss Bradley for broken con-
tract.

WINNING THE
How the Boys i'm the ''Finals"
of the Corn Championship
Game Got Their Places of
Honor.
by Robert f. Wilson.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. TO-.
DO you want to hear the stories
of some of the experiences of the
boy champion corn raisers this
year? Well, here are few sam
pie ones, told to illustrate phases
of the corn contest.
The 6,255 southern boys who
competed for the worlds cham
pionship this year learned many
other things than how to raise a
bumper corn crop. They also
learned invaluable lessons in con-
fidence and self-reliance.
Earl Hopping's Hard Time.
Earl Hopping of Rogers, Ark,
aged fourteen, had tough time
last spring. His father let him
plow and plant an acre, using the
farms team of mules. Then came
the cold, backward spring, follow
ed at last by the warm sun and a
booming season. EarIs father,
grave of face, took the boy aside.
I'm sorry, Earl. I'm afraid
you'll have to give/up your acre.
Our bread and butter depends
upon our crops, and l shall have
to have the mules myself every
daylight moment until the middle
of summer. The crops are getting
ahead of me-"
Most boys would have given up
right then. Earl didn't.
Used Goat Team.
Behind the pigpen on account
of smells) Earl's two goats were
kept. One could draw a wagon.
The lad spent the rest of the week
training the two to pull as a team
He manufactured a small but SER
viceable cultivator from blades
taken from an old machine his
father had cast aside.
All summer long Earl worked
his acre of corn with his goat
team. The average mule-culti-
waited corn of Arkansas runs 1871
bushels to the acre. Earl's acre
shelled so golden bushels. Is ii
too obvious to say hard conditions
couldn't get Earls goat?
You can't teach an old dog new
tricks, thinks the department OF
agriculture. Neither can you, by
direct teaching, remove the con.
tempt the old 2-bushel-an-acre
farmer has for the modern book
farmer. But you can teach the
farmers son. And when the sor
shames the old man bq raising or
single acre what the old fellows
farm does on 20, you can be pretty
sure the old fellow will begin tC
do some "studyin'."

ing to his corn club an experiment
in agriculture. With great care
Halsey unearsed one of his corn
plants, not cutting the tiniest root
tendril. and gummed it to the
schoolhouse blackboard. Corn 33
days old has roots AZ inches long.
Dry figures, think you, boys?
Listen.
In the group of boys listening
is Benny Beach, contestant for
two years. Last year in June,
when corn was more than 33 days
old, Benny cultivated his acre
inches deep. Most all the farmers
in that district cultivate deep,
against the advice of the book
farmers Benny did, and when
the drought came his acre of corn
withered ard died.
Halsey, with his plant pasted
to the blackboard, is showing why.

sides AZ inches and more. and then
in the dry weather the plants did
not have roots enough left to take
of what little moisture was in the
soil sufficient to live. If you think
any of the Tupelo boys cultivated
deep last June you have another
guess coming.
The government is spending a
lot of money organizing and teach
ing corn clubs. Is the work doing
any practical good? Is 1t Lis

The Mississippi corn crop this
year jumped from 40,745.00O
bushels Tin 1900 to 66,256,OO0
bushels, an increase of 10000, 000
bushels, or IS per cent, adding
an extra s20.OO0,OOO to the states
wealth. And Mississippi did this
in a year less favorable to corn
growing than the 1909 season.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 12.---
Peter Tharl, a laborer employed
at the pumping station, is a man
of sober and orderly conduct,
phlegmatic and of sturdy and
well balanced physique. Hence
his interest was calmly geologic
when he unearthed 81 snakes of
various sizes wound tightly in a

Tharl merely stood by, counted
the reptiles as they unraveled,
called his companion, Delivers, to
verify the count, and then with his
aid dispatched them.
The squirming reptiles meas
ured from six inches to three
feet in length.
