TUXEDO
Ministries Under Auspices of
Knights of Columbus TO
Appear March %.

An attraction that should fill the
Robinson Grand theater FRIDAY night,
March 2S, is the Tuxedo minstrel
aggregation that will hold forth at
that time. The show is being put on
by the Knights of Columbus for the
benefit OF the new Catholic school
for boys and is worthy the patron
age of all. For an evening of solid
fun and enjoyment nothing that has
been in Clarksbprg for years will
compare with the black face artists
that will appear with funny Jokes
catchy choruses, high class solos
and comical stunts.
The minstrel troupe comprises
some thirty of the best known young
men and ladies of the city, among
them fine soiolsts and speciality ar
lists. There will be twelve funny end
men who will keep the audience in a
roar of laughter by their crossfire OF
Jokes from the rise to the fall Of the
curtain.
The benefit performance is being
given for good purpose and every
person in the city should make it a
point to attend. Prof. and Mrs. Nc
closkey are sparing no pains to make
the performancefrst class and it will
be well worth going to.

History Repeating Itsefr.

Face to face with a real response
bllity, which they did not have al
the last session, the Democratic
members Of Congress are finding
that their downward revision OF the
tariff, about which party leader:
preached somuch during the last
campaign, IS not going to be the
slight and easy thing that was ad-
vertised. The perplexity and confu-
sIc.1 now prevailing among them
point to long and bitter fight with
the probable result of a mongrel
mixture OF tariff duties that may
equal the notorious w:lson-Gorman
measure.
The tariff revision at the present
session will be much more serious
business than it was during the last
session. The Underwood bills were
then put through with the knowl-
edge that President Taft would veto
all Of them, and Mr.. Underwood and
his associates took liberties with the
bills in order to make capital for
the ensuing campaign that cannot
be countenanced now. The Senate
and House are Democratic and SO is
the president; hence the Democratic
House must proceed accordingly.
This looks like easy sailing on the
surface; but the undercurrent of
protest against reductions now COM
ing to notice in Congress and accel-
Grating in velocity Indicate that the
Democrats will not be able to put
through satisfactory tariff laws. New
England Democrats are opposed TO
cuts in the rates on manufactured
products that are understood to be
contemplated by a majority OF the
committee. Democrats from the
West and North balk at proposals
that have been made for. substantial
reductions in the rates on farm
products. Democrats from both the
South and West intend to combine
against any effort to transfer lumber
to the free list, Democrats from
Louisiana, Florida and several other
states will fight tooth and nail the
proposal to place sugar. rice ana
semi-tropical fruits on the free list.
While these members are in the nil
nority it will be possible for them
oy comb ming with the Republicans
20 make a great deal of trouble for
Mr.. Underwood and his lieutenants.
On top of this, reports are current
in trade circles that certain manu-.
facturers are and have been for some
time past in anticipation of the stu
alton gradually raising prices OF
their products so that when the tus-
sic comes in Congress for reductions
they will take advantage OF the in
llations in an effort to make the re-
ductions as small as possible.
1t is the same old story of the old
log-rolling days all over again. Be
fore the Democrats are half way
through with their tariff revision
they VIII doubtless entertain the
wish that they had the aid OF ex-
pert, ncn-partisan information Oh
the subject. T.

Save penny here and a dol

will be safely laid.
One of the best and quick

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-10-16
M. M. Stokely,
Notary Public

Governor Patterson is talking
like man who is sincere, and if
he is with the natural ability which
he possesses it will be difficult to
keep him in private life, regard
less of his life of the past. The
American people are quick to for
get and if Patterson lives as he
now talks he will again have to
be reckoned with. If he had seen
the light at an earlier stage, before
the death of Carmack, it is just
possible that there would have
been no place too high for him in
American public life. This will
probably be denied him now, but
he will still be power in Tennes-
see politics.

CARE OF lCEBox.

After the box has been washed with the
soda wash again with clean hot water:
then, before putting the ice in the box. II
should be well aired
An icebox should always be full of ice
1t Is the poorest economy to allow the
supply to decrease, and il sufficient ice IL
provided the box can be kept at an even
temperature, which insures the preserya-
ton of the food 1t contains. common
mistake is getting a small piece OF ice
every day, instead Of filling the ice cham.
Der two OF three times week. The small
piece of ice cannot reduce the temperature
sufficiently, and the result is that each new
piece melts rapidly and the food cannot he
kept.
The effect of cold on food Is to retard
decay, o.. by freezing. TO stop 1t absolutely.
In household refrigerators it is only cold
enough to delay or retard decay. The mis-
use of the refrigerator lies in the belief
that 1t will prevent decay. Just as long
as you realize that 1t only retards decay
you are safe and your refrigerator will do
good service.
The handspring Of well managed
kitchen is the stock pot. In 1t should be
collected bones, poultry carcasses, trim
mings and vegetables, for any scrap is
welcome A piece of shin beef may some
times be added for extra strength. There
will be no lack of soup. gravy and sauces

After using knife to pare onions drop
lit in cold water and leave until the dishes
are washed, then wash with hot soapsuds
and no odor will be noticed. This rule
holds good for utensils in which fish have
been cooked. Securing soaps will not re-
move disagreeable odors from knives and
dishes, but this simple method never fails.
This is the time OF year when the wise
housewife puts up her preserves for win
ter use, for just at present fruits and
vegetables are cheap and plentiful. OF all
the preserves which appear on the family
board on cold winter days perhaps mono
is better liked than those which contain
tomatoes. This vegetable is popular in
many forms, and its appearance Is always
greeted with approval.
The red tomatoes picked whole are DELI
cious with cold meats. To prepare this
select tomatoes that are smooth, not too
large and not too ripe Lay them very
carefully in jar and cover with cold
vinegar. At the end of twenty-four hours
take out the tomatoes carefully, weigh
them and then pile them on plate in the
bottom of a preserving kettle. Take half
the vinegar used for covering the toma-
toes in the jar and add to the vinegar
sugar weighing half what the tomatoes
weigh and a bag of mixed spices. Bring
the mixture to the boiling point. Pour
gently over the tomatoes and place on q
very low fire to keep hot, but DO not let
them boil. At the end Of four hours pack
them carefully into the crock and cover.

The health of the family depends largely
or the condition Of the icebox. This may
sound ridiculous at. first to the careless
housekeeper, but when one considers that
ihis Is the place where most of the food is
kept 1t can plainly be seen that unless the
box Is KEEP scrupulously clean the food
will become infected and perhaps spread
disease
Therefore every wise housewife sees to
II that her icebox is washed thoroughly

THE BOB JONES
FARM AGAIN SOLD
Land Changes Ownership Twice
in One Week, Final Figure +
Being $4,000.

The Bob Jones farm continues
to change hands, and two sales
were made of this valuable piece
of farming property last week, one
when the Williams boys paid
something like $37, 800 for it from
the company composed of Jno. M
Jones, w. B. Robinson, Y. j. Nc
Mahan and G. C. Duncan who be-
came the owners of it at the pub
lie sale two weeks ago.
On Saturday the farm was
again sold, this time the new pur-
chasers being Stokely Brothers,
who took all but thirty acres Of
the bottom land, while Charley
Cliff became the owner of thirty
acres of the bottom land, that por-
ton of the land nearest to New
port and the upland about the
house, which included the house
and barns. L. S. Allen retains his
titlein the upland according to the
sale and the Bob Gray farm con-
tinues to be the property of Mrs,
Eva Stovall. Thus the fine farm
had been divided into several
parts. The final price means that
the farm brought something like
$4,000 which places a fancy
price on the land.

FOURTEEN DIE
EACH DAY OF YEAR
Because They Carelessly Walk on
the Railroad Tracks of the
United States.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. Pile was
in the habit of walking home
nights along the railroad tracks, +"
says a newspaper account of the
death of a minister of the gospel
who was recently killed by a
freight train near a Georgia city.
A college graduate, man far
above the average in intelligence,
and a useful citizen, yet this man
by his daily habits, formed prob
ably because the railroad track
offered smoother walking than
the public road, did nothing less
than invite the fate which finally
overlook him.
Commenting on this dangerous
practice the Atlanta Journal says
editorially:-
"The loss of fourteen lives in a
wreck would loom fourth as a
national horror; yet statistics
show that there is an average of
fourteen deaths every day caused
by the dangerous custom of walk
ing on railroad tracks or other
wise trespassing on such property.
1t is estimated, indeed, that in this
manner occur more than half the
fatalities incident to railroads in
the United States; and the major
ity Of the persons thus killed are
not tramps but children and val
ued citizens.
'The time has come when the
public should take serious note of
this record with its grim warning
to all who are accustomed to use
railroad tracks as a common high
way. The transportation COM
panies are exerting themselves to
end this peril and State Commerce
Commission has spoken to the
same purpose. After all, however,
it is upon the individual that re-
sponsibility must rest; it is popular
sentiment and popular judgment
that must correct this evil. Five
thousand lives year is a terrible
sacrifice to carelessness. 1t can
be reduced and prevented only
through individual recognition of
the great risk in walking on a rail-
road track.
''This matter should now be of
peculiar concern to the South
where railway tariffic is fast in
creasing. In Georgia and neigh
Dor states many more trains are
in operation today than ten or
even five years ago their number
lis continually multiplying. The
danger to pedestrians who venture
on the tracks is accordingly more
and more serious. 1t is far better
to stick to the 'muddiest highway
or the toughest woodland path
than to take the deadly chance of
following a railroad track simply
because the latter afford easier
walking.
Much emphasis is now laid on
the need of greater caution on
