Prospects are good for remunera-

pany, one of the most extensive buy.
ers OF Irish potatoes in Maury coun-
ty. However, Mr. Park strongly urges
the farmers to guard against the scab.
Potatoes affected with the scab will
not be readily saleable, but if they
are free from that disease he is of the
opinion that ready market will be
found.
Discussing the matter Mr.. Park
said: Texas potatoes the badly at.
fected with the scab. We have al
ready had an inquiry from house in
Brownsville, Texas, a comparatively
small place, asking us if we would be
able to furnish them twenty-five cars
of Tennessee Triumph potatoes free
from scab. This indicates that there
is going to be big demand from Tex
as this fall, something that we have
not had in recent years. 1t will mean
much for our potato growers if they
will guard against the scab. But there
: is no use in shipping diseased pota-
toes. One dealer in this section last
year had five cars turned down in the
Southern territory because of the
scab.
How to get rid Of the scab or pre-.
!, vent it? Well, that is comparative
ly easy matter. Simply use the gov.
ernment's remedy or solution. No, it
is not expensive and it is not diff
cult matter to apply. We have tried
it and it will return the biggest kind
of dividends on the investment. I
would most earnestly urge the farm
ers who intend to plant second crop
potatoes, and there are good num-
Der Of them, to use this precaution
and have their potatoes in first class
marketable condition. They will new
er regret it.
Eyes, ! would advise the planting
of the Tennessee Triumph potatoes.
They are better for our uses than any
other. They have been tried most
successfully and in the end will beat
the other varieties in my Judgment"

DECIDED REVIVAL
Of TENNIS PLAYING
NOTED IN COLUMBIA
GAME MORE POPULAR HEREA.
BOUTS THAN 1T HAS BEEN
IN YEARS.
NUMBER OF CLUBS IN The CITY
That of Riverside Probable Has Best
Court and Equipment and the Larg-
est and Most Enthusiastic Member.
ship-To Play other Teams.

The present time has been fittingly
called the Renaissance of Tennis"
and this certainly applies to the ath.
letes of Columbia. There are many
excellent courts in the city that every
afternoon have their full quota OF
devotees playing this game, "the most
gentlemanly and at the same time the
most democratic Of all sports" Near
ly all these courts are run by clubs
who keep them in excellent shape,
but there is none which can touch the
Columbia Tennis Club located in Riv-
erside in the perfection of its court
or the excellence of its players.
Mayor Joe Dedman is president of
this organization, and this fact is
proof in itself that things are run with
a nicely and precision that will be
seldom found. It was under the direc-
ton of the present president that the
new court was constructed. Until
last year the club had had great
deal of trouble keeping the court in
first class condition, as it was con-
structed of clay and ebert and with
every variation of the weather a cor
responding change in the surface was
produced. East year, however, Mr..
Dedman proposed that a new court
be constructed on the site of the old
one, that this new court be construct
ed of taiS on asphalt, and that every.
thing be made first class in every re-
spect. The club enthusiastically
adopted the proposition and today the
members are enjoying the full bene'
fits of the foresight and energy OF
their president.
In addition to the construction out
lined above, permanent lines are
made on the court with tape which
does away with the refining process
The posts to which the net 10 hnna
are set in concrete SO that there can
be no possible variation in the height
of the net. The nets are specially
constructed of heavy black material
that successfully resist the wear Of
the weather, and that do not strain
the eyes of the players. The nets anG
the balls are the best that money car
buy.
At present the personnel of the
club is as follows: Mayor Dedman
president Jim Suddoth, George
Hayes, Girard Brownlow, Harry AL
ford, Otey Ladd, Jim Body, Drs Theo
dore and Enoch Stephenson. From
this list is to be selected team tt
represent the city in contests witt
the neighboring towns. Last year thu
teams representing Columbia defeat
ed Lewisburg by decisive score, ant
are planning to repeat the perform
ance this year as a return match i
already scheduled. That it will b.
one we'll worth seeing is evidences
by the determination that inspires tn
Lewisburg boys to win back their los
laurels. Franklin has also challent
ed the local cracks, and close an
fast match is expected when thes
two teams lock horns The team ths
is to represent Columbia has not ye
been chosen, but it is safe to say ths
they, by their excellent matches wit
the other towns, will reflect gret
credit upon Columbia.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WORK
 OF NATIONAL SCOPE

The United Stats Geological Survey is national in scope as we'll as in name In the year ending June 30 1914, geo. logic Investigations were conducted in 47 States, Alaski, Hawaii, and the Ca nal Znoes; topographic surveys were made in 35 States, Alaska, and Ha- waii; and stream measurements were continued in 39 States, Alaska, and Hawaii The total area covered by the geoligists in reconnaissance and detailed surveys was more than T5,000 square miles, and the area mapped by the topographers was more than 25,000 square miles, an aggregate area al- most nine-tenths that of the United Kingdom. The land-classification work of the Geological Survey last year included reports on an aggregate Of 45,O00,000 acres, or 10000 square miles of public lands, an area of coal, phosphate, oil, and dry-farming lands greater than the area of all New England States.

TO STUDY MARKETING

Tn an address before the Arkansas Horticultural society at Fayetteville, President J. c. Futrall of the Univer- s;tv of Arkansas said that the great est need for the Arkansas Horticul- +ur;st is a better and a more com nlete market for their products. And while the department of agriculture must pass upon work done under the Smith Lever law, President Futrall said that on of his recommendations would be to assist the farmers of Arkansas, especially the fruit grow CTS. to market their products.
 In this President Futrall recogniz- es the importance of solving the mark etng pfoblem. And while it may take some time to bring satisfactory results, the colleges of agriculture can accomplish much in assisting farmers to form marketing associa- tons, evolve uniform packing methods and through central selling associa- tions economically market the pro ducts from the farm orchard and gar den. Farmers, fruit growers, live stock raisers should have an opportu- nity to learn something of the busi- ness management of the farm; how to advertise pack, ship and make sales. The colleges and stations be- ing the leaders for progressive farm management should have the facili- ties for teaching the people the art of marketing-Farm and Ranch.

THREE CHILDREN BURN
 TO DEATH IN HOME
SchOOlhOuse Feud Near Rector, Ark, Is Growing More Intense-Ofi- cers Investigate Fire Origin.
 Parents not at Home

Nashville, Ark, Jan. 21.-News of the burning of two sons and daugh- ter of Frank Wolf, residing eight miles northwest of Rector, Ark, has been received here, and the death of these children is believed to be one of the outgrowths of a schoolhouse feud which has ben waged in that section for the past several weeks.
 The victims of the fire were Ethel Iage 13; Ray, age II, and Willard age l6. They were burned to death when the home of their parents was con stunned by fire which is declared to have been of incendiary origin. Two other children, awakening to find their bed on fire, escaped from the burning home without injury.
 Mir. and Mrs. Wolf, parents of the victims, were not at home at the time, having gone to the home of a neigh bor several miles distant to sit up with a member of the neighbor's fam fly who was sick.
 Officers are Investigating and are reported as saying there is no doubt but that the house was set on fire, but the perpetrators of the heinous crime left no clue as to their identity.
 For several months past, the neigh borhood in which the Wolfs reside has been involved in bitter contro- 'versy because of the removal of the schoolhouse to a more thickly settled portion of that school district. The matter of the removal of the school house was put to vote of the people with the result majority favored the removal. While the building was be- 1 ing removed, it was burned during the night. Since that time, school was held in church building until that structure was also burned in the night about six weeks ago.
 Mir. Wolf, father of the children who pershed when their home burned, | is said to have been one of the lead CTS in the fight for the removal of the schoolhouse.

CARRANZA MAY DE-
 PORT JACK JOHNSON

Unless Jack Johnson can display the passports of recognized Ameri- can citizen his entrance into Mexico from South American may be deterr- ed. Carranza the distinguished Mex ican statesman, has declared his deter imitation to delay the big smoke when he endeavors to travel to Juarez, the proposed scene of his fight with Jess Willard.
 That would be a humiliation to Johnson. It is well known that Ameri- ca, the scene of his youth and child hood has forsworn him and to have Mexico treat him with the same re- pulse should cause him some annoy ance.
 Other countries may follow suit. In which case Johnson may at last be forced to buy little boat and float about on unchartered waters. Though he may find some comfort in the re- flection that other great men, too, at the close of illustrious careers, have been put in exile. He may consider himself the Napoleon of fistiana. In the meantime it is to be seen what Carranza will be able to do. Many hope that just this once he will allow Johnson's entrance as the rumor pre- vails that Willard may cop his crown.

WOULD CHANGE WAY
 PHYSICIANS NAMED
Senator Ruff Would Have County Medical Officers Designated by County Court Instead State
 Board of Health.

The introduction of bill, Senate Bill No. IS, by Senator Horace E.. Ruff, of Heber Springs, to provide for a law abolishing the office of county physician and the county board of health follows on resolutions adopted by county judges of Arkansas who met recently in Little Rock. The new provision gives the county judge pow CT of naming a county physician, whose duties will be to take care of all the county's health matters.
 The difference, or one of them, will be that the county judge can appoint a man who perhaps will be better able to serve the county than under the old provisions, which gave the power of appointment to the State health board The bill was read the second time af- ter suspension of the rules and was made special order for Monday morn ing, immediately after reading of the journal.

Kansas City Star.
 Speaking of wonderful inventions, the overshadower of Edison is the manor woman-who invented fire. Our prehistoric ancestors doubtless were familiar with fire from lightn- ing strokes and lava eruptions. But how did they ever get the idea that they could initiate the effects of lightning by rubbing two sticks against each other? It has been ob- served in recent years that in bamboo forests In Southern India branches sometimes are whipped by the wind against each other until they burst into flame. That probably was where the fire inventor got his idea.
