|STILL ANOTHER ONE
REFUSES TO ENTER
IRREGULAR PRIMARY
GEORGE p. WOODEN, FOR COMP
TRoLLER, WILL GO TO THE
LEGISLATURE.
PUBLIC MUCH DISSATISFIED
Convinced That Majority of the
Democrats of the State VIII Not
Participate and Nomination
Therein Would BE Questionable.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 24.-George P.
Wooden, for many years clerk in the
state comptroller's Office and can
didate to succeed Comptroller Dib-
rell, in a statement given out Mon
day, announced that he will not be a
candidate in the November 5 prima-
~, and will take his candidacy to
the legislature. Mr. Wooden states
that he is convinced that majority
of the democrats of Tennessee will
not participate in the primary and
that nomination secured in it would
be of questionable value to any can
didate.
The following is Mr.. Woolen's
statement:
when I announced my candidacy
for state comptroller before the DEM
ocratic primary about two months
ago there was movement on foot
to harmonic the factions of the par
ty in this state, and it was thought
that all who were prominent in this
movement were in good faith, and
acting as they sincerely believed for
the best interests of the party. Be-
lieving, like many others, that this
course would bring the factions to-
gether, and being DESTROYS of seeing
the party reunited, and normal condi
lions restored to the end that strife
and dissention in party ranks should
cease, and peace once more reign,
announced that / would submit my
claims to the democratic voters at
the November primary.
Without questioning the wisdom
or sincerity Of those who undertook
this task, it is now apparent to any
one familiar with conditions that
their efforts, however, laudable, were
futile and that they failed to accom-
plish the end sought.
Some 10000 democrats failed to
participate in the August primary.
Events subsequent to that time,
which are fresh in the public mind
have still further increased the dis
satisfaction with the proposition to
make party nominations by prima-
ry unregulated and uncontrolled by
law. Close investigation into public
sentiment over the state leads me to
the conclusion that it is the deliber-
ate Judgment of the party, rank and
file, that it would be unwise to hold
another primary in Tennessee until
a restraining, regulating statute can
be enacted.
II am convinced that majority
of the democrats of Tennessee would
not participate in the November pri-
mary, and under those circumstances
a nomination thus secured would be
of questionable value to any candi-
date.
"In view of existing conditions,
desire to announce that I will not be
a candidate before the November pri.
mary, but will take my candidacy to
the general assembly.

A PULVERIzED SOIL NECESSARY
Experimental Work Along Certain
Lines Would Result in More Ad-

(By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner
of Agriculture
1t would not be out of place to talk
this week about conserving moisture
for crops. We can see what hap
pens to our crops when a dry sea-
son comes, when we have not prepar-
ed our ground to Withstand the
drouth. We have had this subject
up before and warned the farmers In
time what would happen when dry
weather came if they were not pre-
pared.
You remember that we told you that
the more decayed vegetable matter
you could get into your soil the great
er would be it's capacity for holding
water, and that for the same reason
that quart cup would hold more
than a pint cup, so would soil eight
inches deep hold more moisture than
soil four inches deep.
We have an average annual rain
fall of So inches, so we have no ex-
cuse for not having moisture for our
crops. We can always have it If we
will simply get busy and prepare our
ground to retain the moisture that
falls on it. A deep soil, full of veg
etable matter, well pulverized will
catch and hold the moisture and
evaporation can be minimumized by
keeping lust mulch on the surface
during the growing season. This
has been done often and the profita-
BILE results ought TO be sufficiently
convincing to cause every one 20 pre-
pare their land to be independent Of
the drouths we have during the fall
months. It is not want OF knowledge
with many, but some of US leave
work of this character alone alto
gether because we cannot get all our
farms in proper shape in one season,
while with others they are simply
too lazy to put the energy in their
work.
Now If we could get every farmer
to take five acres on his farm, break
it deep and subsoil, get big crop Of
vegetable matter to turn under, keep
a cover crop of rye and crimson clio
yer for winter and turn under in the
spring, grow crop of soy beans or
peas and turn under, then thoroughly
pulverize land, provide good seed bed
and plant in corn, get dust mulch
by running weeder before corn germ
mated and keep the mulch by con-
slant shallow stirring, the crop re-
sulting would pay for all the extra
work in getting the soil in shape to
produce, while the value Of the land
would be doubled for succeeding
crops. Any wide awake farmer who
will carry out this plan on a few
acres will find the results sc profita-
BILE that he will add few acres each
year until he has his whole farm i'm
proved.
We can secure information II we
really want to improve our methods
So many of us are trying to solve
technical questions out Of our reach.
Let's do the simple, practical things
first, and by so doing, we will find
the mountain easy to climb when we
really get to it.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES Maud. sy E. en- :,

Should you be annoyed by the
great amount of steam which usually
accompanies the cooking of cabbage
onions. etc, take a deep lid, or turn
the lid of your cooking pot upside
down and puNcold water in IT, AS the
water becomes heated. empty it out
and put in fresh water This will
not only keep the steam from your
kitchen. but will lessen the odor of
cooking throughout the house.
Mend your boys trousers by ma
chine to save both time and labor
These tears never pull out If prop
erly done, and the patch shows very
slightly Take piece of material as
much like the trousers as possible
and baste well under the torn or
worn place. Put the work under the
machine needle. and. beginning at ono
end, stitch backward and forward
across the tear. being careful not 10
turn back until well over the worn
place. Stitch as close as you find
practical When finished, cut out
from underneath any unnecessary ma
terial and press we'll.

Friends Of yours who are living
abroad would appreciate more than
you imagine occasional gifts of United
States postage stamps. Quite ofteb
they see advertised some trifle which
they could pay for with stamps if
they only had the stamps
Kitchen aprons of the same ma
terial as your wash dresses always
look neater than those made Of somo
other stuff. Remember this the next
time you have wash dress made.
Even a white dress looks prettier with
a big white apron to match.
If the alarm clock is too loud for
the peace of the household. slip an
elastic band around the bell to dimin-
ish the noise; the wider the band the
stronger the suppression, and a few
experiments will demonstrate Just
what width is most desirable.
Have a pair of tweezers handy TO
aid in pulling threads out of the can
vas when you are marking towels
with cross-stitch embroidery. Any
woman who has suffered from sore
fingers after doing much work of this
sort will recognize the value of this
suggestion,
The danger of slipping when get
ting out of bathtub will be greatly
decreased if a nickel handle is screw
ed to the wall at just the right height
to make it convenient to be grasped
for support. Such an aid is especially
helpful to anybody suffering from
rheumatism.
Do not add recipes to your book
until you have tried them: then you
will know whether or not you really
care to keep them. A letter file is a
good receiver for the clippings until
your have tried them
Do not throw away colored pictures
If you have no children in your home
Keep a big envelope in the drawer
of the library table and slip into il
any pretty picture that comes to the
house. Often an advertisement Is
worth saving after the type matter

is filled. address il to some child yol

In the kitchen or pantry drawer vii
be found useful to put over bowls o.
pitchers containing soup, milk. etc
or TO throw over a. cold roast befor
putting it away. OF course. the cloth
should be fastened snugly over tn
dishes, and a box of rubber band
kept with the pile of cloths will b
found more convenient than strin

NEW YORK. June 15-An interest
ing bit OF information about womens
clothes which leaked recently from

dress fit for occasions of differing de-

sideration is of value to the woman
whose circumstances limit the express

This is seemingly the day of the
separate collar and of frtls. No dress
is complete without the full jabot or
the neck frill and the sleeve frills.
Softening and becoming to every hand,
the frills of lace or net are sewn into
the wrists of the sleeves and in many
cases carried among the opening from
the wrist to the elbow. Some col
lars, known as the Pierrot collars are
made entirely of frilled lace or net,
one row standing above narrow vel
vet or ribbon band. the other falling
below It around the neck. Besides the
