Electricity has now been taught the ac-

is busy. 1t is in telephone systems that
this new ability has proven most useful
SO far. A concern may nave a dozen tele-
phone trunk lines to accommodate it's in
coming calls, because they are SO numer-
GUS, with several clerks to attend to the
calls, and the new device will automati-
cally take any incoming call and give 1t
to one OF the clerks who Is not busy, and
do 1t without bothering operators who are
already answering calls. A selective ap-
wire after another until It finds one that

was putting the last touch to her
preparations for the evening.
This drawing room which opened
out Of the boudoir, was a large apart

and a tapestry representing the doings
OF Samson. The tapestry, which had
belonged to a country house Of Mon
sieur Gorges, the landlord, was a bit
too big for the drawing room of No.

cut out to make it fit, and the scene
chosen by Monsieur Georges for ex-

"a famous tenor" said Giulio Gatti-
Casazza, was invited one night to
dinner by a Chicago trust magnate.
The dinner was superb, but at Its end
the trust magnate asked the tenor to
sing. This, of course, vas as bad as
inviting a doctor to dinner and then
asking for a free prescription. So
the tenor politely declined. The
trust magnate, however, insisted.
AFTER five or ten minutes of this, the
tenor said, with a laugh:
"'Oh, we'll, every one to his trade.

ner, which is offered by the head

quite an honor in Woodmen cir.
Giles to win the banner, and the per
cent of gain in the membership of

We are told that the membership
increased last year from III to 223.
E. O. Thomas, clerk of the local
camp, has received letter from
Head Consul A. r. Talbot of Lin
coin, Neb., in which he says:
Eat the February session of the
executive council it was found that
your camp had more new beneficial
adoptions during the year 1912
than any other camp in the State,
and is therefore entitled to the
prize State banner to be retained
for the year 1913. This banner is
now held by camp No. 1888, To-
Gated at Chattanooga, and | have
instructed the clerk thereof to i'm
mediately ship the banner to you

CORN AND TOMATO CLUBS

The Tomato Club is an intensely
interesting organization at any
season of the year. Even now, at
a seemingly dull period, much
worth our notice is happening.
How odd to see little girl of ten
or eleven years having her farm of
one-tenth acre MANFRED and look
ing around for a subsoil pillow for
papa to use for her. Isn't she a
progressive farmer?
Some of our girls have sown seed
for early plants; bought a good
early variety. Some who did not
want hotbed just yet have sown
seed in boxes and keep these in
the house except when warm.
A Tomato Club girl is not an
idle girl; she is business-like.
The last years crop is still in
teresting. Cans are being sold,
and the girls are made glad by the
cans being passed on as clean, full
and richly favored. A good arti-
Gle is in demand, and this year we
want even better-to live up to our
motto, ITO make the best better"
Girls names: Myrtle Harrison
Harrison, Eunice Hollingsworth,
Linnie Sykes, Myrtle Herndon and
Ora Ballard.
The Corn Club boys are becom-
ing much aroused. Three letters
have already said, II am planning
to be first prize winner" Others
say, Il am looking after my acre
and shall do my best this year"
1t takes people who are not sat
isfed with anything but he best
TO amount to anything.
Benton County boys will yet
make their native soil famous for
her corn production, and some
body will be proud of them.
Let names for both clubs be sent
IN promptly.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 81, 1918.
CHARLES s. BARRETT.

The suggestion of Charles S.
Barrett of Georgia, president of
the National Farmers Union, for
the agricultural portfolio under
President Wilson has been cordi-
ally endorsed and seconded by
citizens and newspapers through
out his native State.
The Georgian undertook some
time ago to point out Mr.. Barrett's
unique and extraordinary fitness
for this office of honor and respon-
slbility under the forthcoming
Democratic order of things at
Washington, and it reafirms and
relterates now, with added en-
phasls, all it said then. The Pres
ident-elect could fine no other
man in the nation so surely ac-
quainted with the necessities and
desires of the farmers of the coun-
try, nor one SO free of possibly
embarrassing political entangle-
ments and alignments.
Mr.. Barrett is superb execu-
tive, great organizer, practical
and successful farmer, and q Dem
ocrat without partisan frills or
bristles. He would fit the office of
Secretary of Agriculture perfectly,
and would know how to make it.
whatit ought to be-a genuine and
lasting benefit and help to the far
mers of the United States.
While Mr.. Barrett himself is
taking no hand whatever in the
movement to make him Secretary
of Agriculture, his name has been
strongly presented 10 the Presi-
dent-elect. Some of Mr.. Barrett's
Georgia friends have been told
that Mr.. Wilson is disposed to
take the Barrett suggestion very
seriously, and has let it be known
in very quiet way that he has
been deeply impressed by the in
terest of this Georgian's friends
and admirers, and that further
discussion of the matter will not
be out Of place.
This attitude upon the part of
the incoming chief magistrate has
greatly encouraged the Barrett
boosters in the hope that their
man may land in the place selected
for him.
1t is significant that Mr.. Barrett
should be by far the most heavily
Endorsed man throughout the West
for the agricultural portfolio; and,
now that the South is lining up
stoutly for him, he should, and
doubtless will, receive careful con-
sideration at the hands of Mr..
Wilson in making up his cabinet.

BIG SANDY.

The Chronicle notes with keen
satisfaction the abundant evidence
Big Sandy presents of continued
| growth and increasing prosperity
The building activity that made
the year 1912 memorable in some
respects, notably in substantial
buildings, will continue undated
we are informed, this year, and
there is every reason to belive all
the previous building records of
the town will be overtopped by the
record of 1913
Like Camden, the growth and
progress of Big Sandy has been
retarded because of lack of man.
ufacturing enterprises and for want
of good highway facilities. These
will come in due time. Good roads
will not come until the citizens of
our towns and county decide they
must have them and are willing to
pay for them. Mills and factories
are needed to improve and build
up the towns of our county.
The unanimity with which Big
Sandy's progressive men interested
themselves in the Big Sandy River
Navigation Company organized re-
Gently shows the right spirit and is
sufficient guarantee that there will
be nothing lacking on their part to
make the enterprise success.
They are planning with indefatig-
able purpose for the company to
which they have dedicated their
energies. We trust the project
that has long been held in abey-
ance is about to find fruition and
that ere long boats will be plying
between Big Sandy and points on
Tennessee River
Camden rejoices in the success
and prosperity of its sister town
and will rejoice with her in the
success of the navigation company.
If that prosperity and success has
been delayed in it's full coming,
none the less it has been well de-
served. The Chronicle Away fells
a justifable pride in the progress,
development and prosperity of any
part or section of Benton County,
and more, we want to see every To-
cality of our county built up and
to this end The Chronicle stands
ready at all times to render such
aid as is in its power.
