Obion Farmer is First
to Prepare for Road

Thomas Stalcup, an Obion County
farmer, who resides near Jordan, KY,
has set the pace for work on the Padu-
cah-to- Memphis highway. He was the
first Obion countian to begin work.
Already he has set back his fence and
cleared the ground so that the real work
of road building will not be hampered
by preliminaries.
w. P. Nash, another West Tonnes
sean, fell into line and has started a
large number of hands at road work L.
els an extensive cattle buyer and owns
a farm of 1000 acres.
Union City is planning to make July
90 not only work day, but pleasure
day. Business houses will close and
everybody will lend a hand
The women will prepare and serve
dinner to the men who will work the
roads. The dinner, steaming hot, will
be delivered by automobile. Owners of
wagons and teams will not occupy the
spotlight alone. The auto owners will
put their cars at the disposal of the
women, so that the dinner serving may
be fastened. Memphis News-Scimitar.

WHISKY AND BRANDY ARE
REMOVED AS MEDICINE
The United States Pharmacopoeia
Drops Them Off.

Washington, July 9.-Whiskey anG
brandy cannot be taken as medicine
after the first of next year. AS result
every druggist in the United States who
proposes to sell either intoxicant after
that date will be forced to take out a
license as a saloonkeeper, paying the
high retail Dealers tax and putting his
place under the local and State regula-
tons
This situation is brought about by
the decision of the Revision Committee
of the United States Pharmacopoeia to
drop both whisky and brandy from the
publication. The elimination of the in
toxicants from the book has the effect
of Withdrawing recognition of them as
medicines. The Pharmacopoeia is the
official publication for the country and
nothing that is not listed therein can be
sold for medicine.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, president OF
the United States Pharmacopoeia Con-
vention, to-day announced the decision
OF the Revision Committee. saying:
"Whiskey and brandy have been
eliminated from the Pharmacopoeia.
No reason for the action can be given
by anyone except DR.. Joseph P. Rem
ington, chairman of the Revision Com
mittee."
1t is known, however, that the de-
cision was not reached by the commit
tee without bitter fight. There are
fifty-one members OF the committee,
fifty OF them being elected by the con-
vention. DR., Wiley, as president of
the convention, is the only ex-official
member.
The committee at first decided to pass
the question of eliminating whisky and
brandy from the list of medicines, but
later the subject was reconsidered. Ac-
cording to those in close touch with the
arguments made in the decision, one
reason for the change is the growing
of physicians never to pre-
scribe liquor as medicine. Representa-
tons were made that very few prescrip-
tons from physicians for liquor are ever
taken to drug stores.

A Compromise Offered.

We understand that compromise on
different grounds from any heretofore
suggested has been offered and filed
with the attorneys representing the city
in the suit against the two railroads
entered last week for the opening OF
Church street across the railroad tracks.
The provisions of the compromise, we
understand, are to the effect that the
railroad companies will build a depot in
Union City with umbrella sheds at a
cost to the companies of SIS, 900, drop
ping back five feet from the main tracks
and moving north from the present loca-
ton fifteen feet That is, the southern
extremity of the new depot will be
moved to line fifteen feet north of the
present location and leave an additional
clearance to the street of fifteen feet
With this proposition the railroad COM
panies propose to enter into an agree
An0uI WILL CHC ClCy W COHoIl NV f'u III
derpass at any time in the future it may
be deemed advisable, the two companies
to assume two thirds of the cost and the
city OF Union City one-third of the cost
of such underpass.
The Commercial wants it understood
that we have no authority for this re-
port. The railroad companies, at the
conference here a month or two ago,
offered to do certain things, but made
the matter one of an indefinite nature.
That is a feature of the conference that
we overlooked at the time. The point
was that an underpass was proposed,
but to be constructed at some time in
the future without limit. Now the
recent proposition comes in the same
way, without even any authority for it
at all. The idea is we presume to bring
some pressure against the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen. We have sin
cerely wished and hoped all along that
there would be no law suit, but unless
the railroad companies have something
definite to offer and are willing to in
dorse their own propositions, or those
which seem to come from them, with
the proper authority, there is very little
encouragement to the citizens of Union
City to act in the way of compromise.
How can a compromise be made when
no official proposition has been offered.
There can be no concrete proposition
without authority for it.

Crop Report.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
issues crop report showing July fore
cast for corn: Tennessee, SO, 5OO,O0O
bushels against so, 100000 for 1914;
United States, 2,81O, 100000 bushels
against 1872, SO4, 900 for 1914. All
wheat, July l forecast: Tennessee,
$4,000 bushels against II, 100000
for 1914; United States, 963, 900, 900
bushels against 891, O17 200 for 1914.
This estimate shows the crop of wheat
to be considerably short of the estimate
made month ago. At that time the
crop was reported to be one billion bush
els. 1t is more than likely that when
the wheat returns are all in from the
harvest the crop will be about the same
in quantity as it was last year. 1t is
practically impossible to tell what the
wheat crop will be a month before the
harvest is over. Since the June report
the Tennessee crop lost heavily and the

storms damaged the crops in other
States. The idea of fixing the price on
the June report is mistake and very
unjust to the wheat grower. The fact
is that the Government is doing wrong
to issue reports on any crop until the
yield is reported from the harvest. The
real crop may be less or it may be more,
and the figures often work serious in
justice either to the grower or to the
buyer

E. B. Hardy, of the vicinity of Gibbs,

told, is almost exactly like Johnson
grass, and the seed much harder to dis
tinguish one from the other. That be-
ing so many people will not admit any
difference. There is considerable objec-
ton to Johnson grass on account of its
rank growth and poor quality. The
