SAYS AMERICAN GIRL
Is REAL GODDESS
English Writer Finds Her "thc
Most Beautiful Thing
Under Heaven.

LONDON, June Now we have THE
Truth About the American Woman"
Francis Toye, an Englishman and spe-
cial correspondent OF the Bystdnder, writ
ing under this caption, says that "many
American ladies OF fashion are too plump
and soft looking to be really beautiful"
and he goes on:
Despite recent reaction think the
American woman of the upper class is
physically the LATEST In the world. With
the advent OF the automobile there seems
to be some danger OF her losing the use
OF her legs altogether. Indeed on the
analogy Of her ancestors tails she may
end by being born without any at all.
But that Is mere theory.
Still am bound to say that even the
average American woman of the upper
class seems to be distinctly prettier than
any of her European sisters. But abou,
the average American woman of the mid
die classes there can, ] am sure. be no
doubt at all. She Is incomparably the
smartest, most elegant and beautiful thing
that exists under heaven. You talk OF the
pretty faces of English girls. the distnc-
tion OF Partisan midlnettes. the dash OF
Slavonic womcn-why. the American girl
combines all these qualities and improves
on them too.
IF she has not always a good com
plexlon she at least knows how to make
the best possible imitation. Her clothes
are so smart that you wonder how on
earth she can afford to buy them till you
remember that New York (snd America
generality is famous for the excellence OF
its ready made costumes. Her blouse is

finest in the world. In short, II you are

you had better give New York the go-by
or insure heavily against matrmony."

POOR RULES WORK
ONLY ONE WAY.

Judge Sam Williams has issued a
statement which is in the nature OF
an appeal for aid in his race for re-
election to the supreme bench. Judge
Williams says, among other things,
that the voters of Tennessee by a ma
jority of 10000 dedicated the appellate
courts of Tennessee to the principle
of non-partisan, free and untram-
meled judiciary, for a period of eight
years from the August election 1910,
and he asks that this principle be
lived up to and that he be elected to
serve out the remainder of the term
for which Judge Shields was elected.
In the same election Judge John M.
Taylor, an independent democrat, was
elected to the court of civil appeals.
He was removed by death, by the
same course of reasoning the position
which he held had been dedicated for
8 years to an independent democrat
but Gov Hooper disregarded the dedi-
cation and instead of appointing an
independent democrat from West
Tennessee, the division in which
Judge Taylor lived, he came to East
Tennessee and appointed republican
to the position. This republican went
before the people in the August cleo
ton, 1912, for an Endorsement, just
on the same basis as that upon which
Judge Williams candidacy is based,
and the people of Tennessee dedicat-
ed Judge Gates to the political scrap
heap by a majority of about 10000
votes for an indefinite period. Judge
Williams is good lawyer and his
record is all right so far as we know, !
but he has linked his fortunes to
those of Gov. Hooper in this cam
paign and he must abide by the con-
sequences which result from the I'M
ion. If Judge Williams had run as a
democrat he would probably have |
been nominated. If he was too mon
partisan" to ask for support of any |
out Hooper followers, then he should |
not expect support now from the dem
ocrats who have placed in the field a

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small V-Shaped Trough Elevated to
Height to Allow Big Birds to

Often on a farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry, it is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other poul-
try, yet suitable means Of doing 30 are
not available without fenced yard

Of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following continuance
serves admirably:
A small V-shaped trough, of imma-
terial length, is elevated by means of
supports to height that will allow
the turkeys to stand ON the floor and
pick from 1t, yet be too high to per-
init the chickens and small fowls do
ing likewise. Three or four inches
above the top of the trough a board, as
wide as the trough, is attached fat
wise. This prevents the chickens from
