TENNESSEE LAMBS
BRING HIGH PRICE
Carload Of Springers From This
State Establish Record Price
for Year at St. Louis.

The high price for spring
lambs, which is in evidence in all
the markets of the country, is at.
tributed by the live stock papers
to the breaking up of the great
western sheep ranches, and a
failure of the rest of the country
to produce more sheep has
brought about a shortage in the
crop this year.
Tennessee, by its failure to es-
tablish laws protecting the land
owners from the rowing sheep
killing dogs, has been blind to
the interests of it's own citizens.
The live stock market at st.
Louis is one of the greatest in
the country, and some of the
greatest live stock raisers ship
to the stock yards there.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat
in its report of the sheep and
lamb market has this to say about
the record price lambs from Ten
nessee that brought a higher
price than lambs from any state.
In its report of Thursdays mar
ket the st. Louis paper says:
Sheep-A deck of springers
from Tennessee went at SIPS,
which was the top of the market,
and the highest any spring lambs
have sold here for several weeks,
and it is thought to be the high
est price a full deck of lambs
ever brought here SO late in the
season. A few native lambs
went at $iz while both Missouri
and Illinois furnished full car
lots that sold at $11.95, with pos
sibly a light sort.

Bottle Broken and Old Liquor Lost

The bottle of "Old Rock and
Rye" of which there has been
so much written and so much
said since the tearing down of
the old Benton county courthouse,
began about ten days ago, was
found when they began to remove
the foundation stones. The old
quart was broken and the con-
tents lost.
Many who like mint juleps and
long toddies were preparing to
take one made from the pure
stuff forty years DID, but now,
since this is lost. they will be
compelled to wait till another
courthouse is built.

TEACHERS MUST PASS
AN EXAMINATION
Superintendent Sheriff. to Hew
: to the Line in Granting
Certificates.

Superintendent of Public In
struction S. w. Sheriff. has issu-
ed a statement reminding public
school teachers that they must
pass an examination before being
granted certificates to teach.
Prof. Sheriff. has submitted the
matter to Acknowledgement
Thompson, who confirms the
state superintendent of public
instruction in his view of the
law making it obligatory that
teachers pass the state examina-
ton. 1t is reported that some
certificates have been issued to
public school teachers on sue
cessful experience" without the
formality of the regular exami-
nation. These certificates will
not be recognized. The examin-
ing board consists of members
of the state board of education
and the state superintendent.
In his statement Prof. Sheriff.
says that tbs standard of eff
cheney among public school teach
ers of the state is low, and in
support of this points to the fact
that the schools of the larger
cities will not recognize the state
certificates. He urges that all
teachers make a sacrifice if nee
essary to attend an examination
which will weed out the more
inefficient and thus raise the
standard to that extent.

ITALY At WAR
WITH AUSTRIA.
Advises Neutral Governments Why
She Proceeds to Take
Action.

Italy is now at war with Aus
tria according to official dispatch
es.
Italy has addressed to the neu-
trail governments of the world a
lengthy communication explain
ing her reasons for declaring war
on Austria. Count Di Cellere,
the Italian ambassador, present
ed the document to Secretary
Bryan in the form of a note
to the United States government.
1t reviews the negotiations be-
tween Italy and Austria, reveal
ing that they began Immediately
upon dispatch of Austria's ulti-
matum to Serbia. Italy claimed
then that action of Austria
disturbed the equilibrium of the
Balkans and the peace of Europe
in a way vitality affecting Italian
interests. AS an ally of Austria
Italy asserts her right should
have been consulted before send
ing the ultimatum, the first news
of which was received through
the newspapers.
Failing to obtain through d.
plomacy satisfaction of her terri
torial and national aspirations
Italy announces in the note that
declaration of war was the only
means of safeguarding her posi-
ton in Europe.

CHECK RECOVERED
AFTER NINE YEARS

In September, 1906, the Jesse
French Piano Company of Nash
vile issued check to G. w. B.
Marable for $500. The check
dropped out of existance and the
books of the piano company
shows that it has. never been
paid. Friday Postmaster Shan
non at Nashville received from
the postoffice department a letter
inclosing the much mutilated and
Undiscovered check, with the in
formation that it was in the mail
on a train that had plunged
through the bridge into the river
at GAINESVILLE on September 26,
1906. Many people will remem-
Der the serious wreck at that
time.
Some of the mail that was lost
in this wreck has only recently
been recovered, and this check,
Undiscovered and torn, but with
the name and amount and sigma
ture still legible was included.
The postoffice department has
instructed the postmaster to re-
turn the check to the proper ow-
ners of it.

Eggs Shipped, Chickens Received

Postmaster Shannon of Nash
vile has mystery to solve.
Following up the active cam
paign for parcel post business,
the superintendent, E. M. Nor
gan has secured a number of
regular shippers of country pro-
duce to Nashville. Friday, Mr..
Morgan was notified that a ship
ment of 100 eggs had been mailed
via parcel post to a certain
address in Nashville, and to be
on the lookout for them, for
prompt delivery, as it was desir-
ed that the eggs be not kept in
the warm temperature of the
postoffice. Superintendent Nor
gan watched for the package,
and to his surprise a package
came, containing no less than
142 tiny chickens, which it SEEM
ed had just Matched. No pack
age of eggs had made its appear
ance.
The chicken parcel-with all
the chicks doing we'll was to the
same address and Superintend.
emit Morgan referred the matter
to the postmaster to figure out
whether a package of eggs had
been scrambled and lost in the
mails, or whether the postoffice
department should submit a bill
for incubation charges of 14z
chickens.

| ty, KY, about Ia miles from the
Henry county line. In 1904 he
made the race for constable and
carried his home precincn 123
against % for his competitor,
there being four precincts in the
district. At the same time the
election for governor and other
county officers was held and in
his home precinct Mr.. Adams
secured more votes than any
other candidate.
He came to Paris in 1908 and
was the first year connected
with the Douthit Tobacco Co.,
and the following two years with
Douthit & Crosswy and during
that time was of much service to
the farmers in helping them to
secure the very highest prices
for their tobacco. He later be-
came engaged in his present oc-
cupation, real estate, and has
been in that business up to the
present. During his careeI as
real estate dealer he has been
very instrumental in bringing
capital to Henry county and has
been the direct cause of the en-
HANGING of real estate In prac-
tically every district which has
greatly added toits value.
Two years ago, as this year,
Mr.. Adams was solicited to enter
the race for mayor of Paris by a
large number of friends. He
was in attendance at the first
meeting to raise campaign funds
in the last election and was a
liberal contributor. He was also
chosen on the committee of ar
rangements when Henry coun-
tians went to Camden at the
opening of the campaign. Heis
81 years old and has always been
a staunch democrat and a pro-
gressive citizen. He WIS mar
ried to Miss Mary McFaaden, Of
of Paris, in 1Slf, and has been a
member of the Baptist churct for
about ten years.
When the final election is held
Mr.. Adams will have been a citi-
zen of Paris for eight years.
We predict that he will be one of
the leaders in the race.

! STATE CONV|CTS READY
FOR WORK ON ROADS
New Law Gives Counties OPP
portunity to Use State Labor.
Board Solicit Contracts

1t has become generally known
that Senate Bill 687, providing
for the working of convicts on
the public roads in Tennessee,
was passed, giving to the state a
privilege for which good roads
advocates have fought and work.
ed for many years.
This is one of the important
pieces of legislation which came
out of the steady grind of the
Fifty-ninth general assembly
and every county in Tennessee
today has the opportunity to
avail itself of the opportunity and
the privilege to improve its public
highways by working convict
labor either from the main prls
on at Nashville, or from the
state mines at Petros. The
board of control of Tennessee
has given the measure thorough
and careful study, and at this
time is ready to entertain apph-
cations for contracts from any
county in Tennessee ready to
have road Improvement done.
Lest there be an avalanche of
applications sent in to the board
of control from every county in
the state, it should be added
right here that.it is strictly a
business proposition, and like all
of the activities of the states
enterprises and intererts under
the direction and supervision of
the board Of control, it will be
conducted on a strictly business
basis. The convict labor is avail
able, but those who enjoy it
must pay the state, in accordance
with the new law.
The law governing the en-
ployment of the convicts on the
public roads is regarded as a mo-
del one and eminently fair in
every respect. Any county may
secure the convict labor, but
they must pay the state 81 per
day for each convict.
AS stated by one member of
the board of control, this at first
thought, might seem unreason-
able, and the counties might not
seem disposed to pay this amount
for the work. When the propo-
sition is given more careful con-
sideration, however, many ad-
vantatages will be noted, and
the plan becomes an excellent
one, from which the counties
may accrue substantial benefits.
It is claimed that the convict la
Dor will prove much superior to
the ordinary road labor and
that the results from day of
convict labor on highways would
be practically double the result
of the work of the same number
of ordinary laborers. 1t is fur
Their claimed that the price of 81
per day for each convict is at
least 80 cents less than other la
Dor could be employed.
The state does not contemplate
the making of profit on the road
building work of the convicts.
subsistence of the convict inside
the walls at the prison and his
maintainence averages upward
of 65 to rs cents per day. The
same convict's maintainence
while at work on county roads
would be at least 10 or Is cents
more, on account of the necessi-
ty of guards, expense of camps,
an d o t he extra expense,
which would leave but little mar
gin between the charge of 81
and the actual expense.
The charge for the labor pro-
yided for in the bill is not intend

ISSUES CALL FOR AID
Charitable Organizations Can Not
Supply Thanksgiving Needs.

When the charitable societies of
Topeka through the Confidential Ex-
change planned to supply every needy
family in the city with Thanksgiving
dinner basket November %, they had
no idea of the magnitude of the job
they volunteered to handle. \ can
vass of the city brought in a stagger-
ing list of names of persons who
through illness or inability TO get
work, will not be able to supply them
selves with Thankday foodstuffs.
Every society in the city that is do
ing charitable work has volunteered
TO do its part in relieving the situa-
ton but unless individuals outside the
ranks of the organization respond to
a call issued this morning by Miss
Mabel Adams, secretary of the Ex-
change, many deserving families may
be lost in the shuttle.
A number of families have been
quarantined and their only chance for
a Thanksgiving dinner is through the
Exchange. One little youngster whose
family the secretary knows confided
to her that I'VE didn't get anything
last Thanksgiving and cause were
Quarantined this year, guess we won't
get anything again. The youngster
was mistaken. An officer of a local
church society heard his statement,
and the society Immediately volun-
teered to take care of the family. But
there are hundreds of others just as
deserving that are not provided for.

RISES FROM RUINS
Great Bend Rapidly Recovering
From Storm Damage.
Close Cooperation Marks Work
of Rebuilding Town.

Great Bend. Kan, Nov 23.-Even
as San Francisco was rebuilt after the
fire and as new Galveston arose from
the waters of floods. so too is Great
Bend being built anew after the de-
vastating tornado, which recently cost
a number of lives and destroyed prop
erty valued at hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
In fact, the wind had scarcely died
down before the work of reconstruct
ing the residence district, which suf-
fered most heavily, was begun. To-
day the sound of the hammer and
the saw is heard almost everywhere
in the district, several hundred car
penterS and other artisans being at
work. Several homes already have
been rebuilt and refurnished and the
families have resumed their daily
routine where it was broken off.
Work of rebuilding the mills and
other industrial plants destroyed, also
has begun.
Reports are still being received
here of bits of paper and wreckage
which the wind carried from Great
Bend, some of them being found fifty
miles away.
Buildings, which were not harmed,
have been thrown open for the use
of occupants of those that were de-
stroyed. AS an example, while the
wreckage of one of the school build
lngs is being cleared away, it's pupils
are attending classes held in the Fair
building.
1t is estimated that it will be only
a matter of few weeks until this
city has completely overcome the eff
teCtS of the storm.

IGNORANT MOTHERS
Lack of knowledge Responsible for
Much Infant Mortality.

The first woman to address the
Current Topic club of the Y. NJ. c. A,
DR.. Lydia De Vilbiss, spoke last night
on infant mortality. One of every nine
babies born in Kansas dies, she said,
while only one in $50 in New Zealand
fails to live. Four thousand babies a
year-ten a day-are sacrificed upon
the altar of greed and ignorance,
states DR.. De VilbisS.
Women don't know how to take
care of their first born in many cases
and without the advice of a more ex
perienced woman, or medical advice
she tries experiments upon the child.
Often these experiments result in the
death of the baby; and the loss be-
cause the mother did not know how to
care properly for the little one is poor
ly solaced by her knowing how to
parse French or figure out trigonom-
etry problems.

welfare stations we should give free
medical advice so that mother can
secure knowledge as to her child-and
it isn't charity, either

BIG RED APPLES
Kansas Has Harvested Crop of
100000 Bushels.
1t Is Worth to the State APP
prOximately S2,OOO,OOO.

That Kansas horticulturists have
harvested approximately four million
bushels of apples this year is indicated
in the reports received by o. F. Whit
ney, secretary of the Kansas State
Horticultural society, announced to-
day. Mr.. Whitney pointed out that
the crop should be worth about two
million dollars to the producers of the
state.
The crop, while not a record break
er, was larger than any in recent
years, Mr.. Whitney said, and it is esti-
mated it totaled almost a million
bushels more than the 1914 crop. The
Arkansas river valley crop was espe
cially good, he pointed out.
Picking has just about been fin
ished," Mr. Whitney said. 1.-The culls
and windfallS have been sold and the
boxed apples are in storage"
Because of the moisture this years
apples are of good quality, some of
the principal varieties being Jona-
thanS. Grimes Golden, Winesaps and
Ben Davis, It was asserted
Mr.. Whitney announced also that
the state had good small fruit crops,
but that the peach crop this year had
been handicapped because of the early
killing frosts. No figures have been
compiled on these crops yet.
