FIVE HUNDRED CASES
ON THE COURT docket
But Most OF Them "OId British.
ers"-Law Docket At
Lowest Ebb.

The Owensboro Messenger of Sun
day says:
Circuit Court will be convened in
greensboro on Monday morning FOR
four-weeks term of civil business.
II has not been many weeks since
the close of the September term,i
but there have been filed since then
sufficient new business to give Judge
Birkhead much to do. Fifty-nine
equity and twenty-one common law
actions have been added to the dock
ct since the last term closed Of
the equity cases. twenty-one are by
persons seeking divorces for various
causes.
With the addition of the eighty
new actions, the two dockets of the
circuit court now contain exactly
300 law suits. There We're on the
docket at the close of the last term
325 equity references and ninety
five continued law actions OF the
large number of equity cases, many
of them are for settlements of de-
cedents' estates, and will necessarily
remain on the docket for years for
settlement. The law docket is down
to almost its lowest ebb, and at the
conclusion of the term opening Mon
day. will likely be cleared up. with
the exception of the old British
ers."

struck dumb for few weeks after
the recent election. At a meeting

measures were entered into to con-
tinue the party in action. Amalga-
nation with either of the old parties

A newspaper. in the main, is an
institution of names and places. 1t
is a record of current history, more
or less important in its news col
umns. but it is always important to
give the names of people and the
names of the place with which their
names are connected. An account
of any event is of no value TO a
newspaper unless it is stated where
this event occurred or eliminated,
and when. The time. names and
place constitute the basis of every
story. These facts should be kept
in mind by all persons contributing
10 newspapers.

ing day and night to perform its
part.
: THE details of the method Is that
after investigation by the communal
authorities food tickets are issued
indicating the number and amount
of rations to which the holder is en-
titled, and twice daily this ticket is
presented by the holder to the food
canteens for its quota and is duly
punched. The ration consists of
bread. soup containing potatoes, to-
gether with a little coffee and salt.
"All those who can afford to pay
are compelled to pay the communal
authorities at the rate of four cents
per diem per ration. The destitute
are given tickets gratis. The, COM
munal authorities contribute to the
Relief Committee one cent per diem
per capita on the total tickets issued
in their commune, they obtaining
this revenue from the tickets sold
or by public subscription in the
communes through the National
Committee under our supervision.
These funds ultimately become avail
able to us for the purpose of food.
Furthermore, the same ration of
bread and salt per diem is sold
through the bakeries to agreed lists
of the more well-to-do population,
and as this bread is disposed of at a
positive profit, our income has some
further increase. Taking II all to-
gether. about one-half of the food
which We send to Belgium is paid
for, so when the American people
contribute two shiploads of food
they enable us to buy one more car
go.
AS a type of organization that of
Brussels is simply a large example
of those in each locality. In that
city at present there are fourteen
communal kitchens and 1877 can
teens for adults. and there are six
teen kitchens and thirty-four can
teens for children under years of
age. For adults food is prepared in
the communal kitchens and is dis !
tributed to the canteens twice daily. /,
The kitchens and canteens' for ba-
bies are maintained as a separate |
organization in each commune. 9--+--~
The amount and character of the
restitution perhaps may be appre-
ciated from the present position in
Brussels. OF the population of $780,
600 remaining in the city an aver |
age of 21S,OOO were on the adult |
canteens and 81 1000 babies were on |
the baby canteens last week, or
more than one-third of the total |
population. Probably no more pitia- |
BILE sight ever was presented than
the long lines of mothers with child |
rem in arms waiting their turn at |
these canteens. In the industrial !
districts, where the people natural
ly would have smaller stores on
hand than in the capital, a much |
larger population is now on the COM
munal canteens, in some instances
over go per cent. of the whole num-
Der.
Brussels consumed 5000 sacks |
of -four per diem. There were Just |
921 sacks of -four in the city when |
our first shipment of foodstuffs ar
rived. When | left Brussels yester- |
day morning there were 5000 |
sacks in the city, or about five days |
supply. We have about two or
three days supply in Liege and sim
liar supplies in other centers, such |
as Louvain, Charleroi, Namur and |
Luxembourg"

THE TIME WHEN TO ACT
To Keep the Corn Crop on the Farm
Is Important In Tennessee.

(By J. c. McAmis, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee)
There is never better time to talh
and think about what we ought tc
have than when we haven't it.
We haven't a first class pasture fol-
pigs now, and we ought to have it,
We need it as much as anything else
on the farm if we have pigs, and every
farm ought to have pigs. If by any
chance a real pasture, one that has
made a good growth, thick and well
sodded over, can be found in the
neighborhood, it will be we'll worth
while to visit that place and congratu
late the owner and ask him how he
got 1t, and see what you are missing
Every bushel of corn contains TWEEN
ty-five cents worth of nitrogen, phos
phorous and potash. These things
are necessarily to grow corn, because
corn is made out of them. We haven't
an unlimited supply on the farm, and
that can be exhausted. 1t has been
greatly reduced on many farms already
1t is just as important to make plans
for saving the plant food supply OF
the soil, as 1t is to think about how
we are going to replace it when it Is
gone. The best way to save it is to-
feed the crops which it has produced.
to animals. Corn is the chief crop in
Tennessee. Hogs make better use OF
corn than any other animals, provided
it is fed on pastures which furnish an
abundance of green feed.
Corn cannot be fed at profit with.
out such pasture, but hogs will return
from one to one and one-half dollars
for every bushel of corn fed with the
pasture. Above all the hogs will re-
turn eight dollars worth of corn fed
on the land There are numerous
cases to be found where hogs
have returned a clear profit of twenty.
five to thirty-five dollars per acre,
Pork has been produced on pasture
and corn, at four cents per pound, or
even less, and sold at eight cents.
To keep the corn crop on the farm

Nescnd Of christmas 1EredthS.

In sword and sash and scarlet coat
Upon q Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary fields
A soldier rode away.
She watched him through the falling
snow,
A young and lovely maid.
In milky pearls and flowing robes
OF velvet green arrayed.
With rumors of the distant wars
The months went slowly by
Till once again the Christmas bells
We're pealing to the sky,
Aud, walking in the lonely wood,
A bush the maiden found
With thorns as sharp as little swords
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And Wove a wreath to wear
OF scarlet berries, bright and gay,
And set it on her hair.
And 10, the pearls upon her breast
We're changed to berries, too,
And, looted to the oak, branch
Of mistletoe she grew
When sweet and clear the Christmas
bells
Ring out DER vale and hill
The maiden mistletoe is seen
In pearls and velvet still,
And with her in the revels ruled
By music, mirth and folly,
In sword and scarlet still arrayed
Behold the soldier holly
