Our Enormous Trade in Autos.

At present there are about
1,500. 900 automobiles and trucks
in the United States. At best
the figure is but ahe result of a
consensus of opinion among au-
tomobile men, but it is as nearly
accurate as the census figures.
The value of these automobiles
and trucks, again roughly esti-
mated, is about So, 100, 600, 600.
In France, which is credited with
having the most superb system
of roads in the world, built at a
cost of $625, 600, 900, great In
ternational Road congress was
sanctioned by the French govern
ment and held in Paris in 1908.
So great were the effects in mo-
tor traffic on roads built solely
with a view to withstanding
horse and wagon traffic that the
purpose of the meeting was an
nounced to be THE Adoption of
Roads to the Modern Methods of
Locomotion."
In the United States the prob
lem is yet vital one only near
the great centers of population
for the reason that but a small
percentage of the total mileage
of roads is improved and the mo-
tor traffic is mainly confined to
small areas Of country. But the
problem is becoming more impor-
tant with the constantly increas-
ing use of the automobile, and
the government is viewing the
subject progressively.

Wilhelm Wants Three Weeks.

Lieut.. Capt. Thierfelder, cap
tain of the German converted
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, has
delivered TO Collector of Customs
Hamilton his formal request of
the United States government
for time to remain in Newport
News for temporary repairs to
his ship.
The request was made in two
letters. which were forwarded
to the secretary of the treasury,
and their contents not divulged.
1t is understood the German
commander asked for three
weeks time as a maximum in
which to make the Wilhelm sea-
worthy, but that he stated he
would make every effort TO COM
plete repairs and leave port
before that time.
1t was learned that the stipu-
Iations related only to tempo
rary repairs because several
months would be required if all
needed repairs were undertaken
at this time.

out the unexpired term of the
late A. B. White, is a candidate
for reelection to a seat in the
city council. Jim is a home grown

shoes will protect in a measure
against hookworm disease. AT.
ter penetrating the skin the worm
enters the blood stream, passes
through the heart, makes its way
up the windpipe, or is coughed
up and swallowed, passing down
the gullet through the stomach
into the bowels. Here it elects
to reside, becomes mature and
mates.
This method of entering the
body has been proven in actual
experiment upon human beings
and lower animals.
The effects from this disease
results from the anemia or i'm
poverishment of the blood..which
it produces. There is an aver
age case, a pallor of the skin,
lack of development, both physi-
cally and mentally in children, in
others bloating or dropsy of face,
limbs or entire body, muscles
weak and patient tires easily,
lack of energy, headache and
dizziness, convulsions in small
children. Indigestion and heart
burn are common symptoms.
They may be craving for sweets
and sours, salts, chalk, sand
sticks, wood ashes and dirt.
Nausea and vomiting may occur;
constipation is usually present
but many have diarrhoea.
There are great many cases
of this disease that do not show
any symptoms. These cases may
become severe ones or they may
spread the disease to others.
Many people die every year from
hookworm disease. In other in
stances through it's weakening
effect on the body, other diseases
are more easily contracted, which
results fatally.

FARM DEMONSTRATION
FOR HENRY COUNTY

Under strong plea of the secre
tary, the Business Mems Clul
has agreed to rally to his aid ir
getting a farm demonstrator
Mr.. Daniel made several strong
pleas to the county court
for a farm demonstrator for the
farmers of Henry county, but his
pleadings seemed for a while tt
have been in vain. However,
the $50 farmers, merchants, citi-
zens and bankers have agreed tc
lend every possible aid in getting
this important movement pushed
to successful elimination. 1t
is regretable that our county
court could not or would not see
the wisdom of this movement.
However, without any attempt
whatever at criticisms, the people
of the county will make up a
purse sufficient for the installing
of farm demonstrator from the
National government. The Uni
ted States government and the
state of Tennessee pay one-half
of the cost where a county court
agrees to pay the other half. 1t
has been agreed that while Henry
county has no farm demonstra-
tor, she is paying her part of the
revenue that goes to pay for the
demonstrators in other counties.
This of course, is of no advantage
to Henry county, butan immense
advantage to the state of Ten
nessee. Subscription lists are
being circulated among the bet
ter class of farmers and among
the merchants and members of
the B. M. c., and it seems that
the amount will soon be raised
without a doubt. The demon
strator will lend aid this year
only to those farmers whose name
appear upon the subscription list.
We don't want a cheap man. We
want the best man we can get
for Henry county. One that can
show us how to make two ears
of corn where we have been max
ing only one; two heads of wheat
where formally we produced only
one; two bales of cotton where
we have been getting only one
bale to three acres. 1t can be
done. 1t will be done, for the
people of Henry county are be-
hind it.

WH|TLOCK FARMERS
WANT NO FENCE LAW

Last Friday night nineteen of
the representative farmers of this
district met me at the school
house at Whitlock to discuss the
advlsability of asking our repre-
sentative to endeavor to have
passed by the legislature a no
fence law for Henry county, same
to go into effect at once.
The meeting was called to or
der by T. H. Whitlock. G. E.
Huddleston was elected chairman
and H. L. Hartsfield, secretary.
After much discussion of the
proposition a vote was taken, re-
sulting in eighteen in favor of
the law and one against it.
A committee consisting of T.
Il. Whitlock, Marshal McCamp-
bell, and Mike Frazier were ap-
pointed to draw up petitions and
send them to different parts of
the county and ask all the farm
ers to sign them.
This is a law that will save the
farmers more money than any
law we could have passed. Why
should the farmers have to spend
SO much money each year for
fencing when the stock that run
outside receive so little benefit
from it. If half the stock that
run outside were kept up and
fed we would have much better
stock. Give us a no-fence law
and we will not only show you
better stock here, but the farm
ers Will not have anything but
the best.
Give us a no-fence law and in
five years you will see graveled
roads all over the county. Give
us this law and in ten months
you will see a graveled road from
Paris to Whitlock, and next year
we will run it to Puryear.
A resolution was also adopted
at the meeting to petition the
legislature to pass a law forbid
ding the killing of birds within
five years and also to keep all
dogs confined from May 1st, to
Sept. 1st, of each year for five
years. These petitions will also
be circulated over the county.
Those present subscribed $125
in addition to what they had al
ready subscribed for the purpose
of graveling the road from Paris
to Whitlock.

CRAWFORD-GATL|N'S
STORE ROBBED

Thursday night of last week
the merchandise store of Craw.
ford -Gatlin Co., at Puryear was
entered and several articles were
stolen. Bloodhounds from Paris
were sent to the scene but the
effort to trail the intruders was
unsuccessful. A negro boy was
was arrested on suspicion but
was later turned loose.
Monday night the store was
again entered and bloodhounds
were carried to the scene, but
for some reason it was difficult
for them to take up the trail.
After several hours search with
the dogs man was seen hiding
in a tree top by w. w. Wisehart,
owner of the dogs. The man
who gave his name as G. G.
Smith, was placed under arrest,
and a quantity of the stolen goods
found in his possession. He i'm
mediately confessed to the crime
and stated to the authorities that
a confederate had just left him a
short time before.
The young man appears to be
about % years old, and stated
that he was from Lawrence coun-
ty. He was brought to Paris
Tuesday afternoon and carried
before Esq. w. T. Snow and
plead guilty to the crime and in
default of $4,000 bond was plac-
ed in Jail.
Late Wednesday afternoon he
made a statement to the effect
that he belonged to a gang who
were going over the country COM
mitting robberies, and that all
the gang except he and his con-
federate at Puryear had gone
south. He stated that he had
not been with the people but a
short time and previous to this
he had been working at saw
mill in Arkansas. He stated that
his confederate had a quantity
of the goods taken from the Pur-
year store and gave a description
of him
Tuesday night a robbery oc-
Cured at Benton, KY, which is
supposed to have been commit
ted by the boys confederate.

HOOKWORM DISEASE
IN HENRY COUNTY.

The State Board Of Health i.
assisting Henry county authori
ties in a campaign to eradicate
hookworm disease. Over two
hundred people have been ex'
amined in this county and 9
heavy infection found. The in.
dications are that hundreds OF
of others are suffering from this
disease.
This work has been assigned
to DR.. W. Rude, of the Tennes-
see Board of Health. Dispense.
ries are being opened at various
places for free examination and
free treatment of those who may
be found infected. These dis
pensaries will be located at the
following places:
Mansfield, Tuesday, March 2.
Elkhorn, Wednesday, March
3.
Cottage Grove, Thursday,
March 4.
Puryear, Friday, February 26
Paris, Saturday, February 27.
These dispensaries have been
operated in other counties and in
some of these over 60 per cent of
the school children examined
were found to be suffering from
this malady.
This disease is found in all
classes of people, the rich as well
as the poor, and for this reason
it is very important that all
give their support and co-opera-
tion during the campaign.
Hookworm disease has been
known to the medical fraternity
for nearly three quarters of a
century. Until recent years it
was supposed to exist only in
tropical countries. 1t is now
known to prevail in every coun-
try within the tropical and SUBJ
regions. There are more
than 1000, sufferers from
this disease in the United States.
Very few cases are found north
Of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
Cases of the disease have been
found in every county in Tennes-
see.
The hookworm is a small worm
that is only one-half to three
quarters of an inch in length, of
a grayish or brown color and
about as thick as the wire of a
hair pin. This parasite lives in
the bowels, fastens itself to the
lining membranes by its mouth,
thereby wounding this mem
brane, sucks the blood of the
person affected, gives off a blood
poison which destroys the value
of the blood of the body. The
female lays about 1000 eggs a
day in the bowels which are dis
charged with the bowels con-
tents. When the excrement be-
comes diluted with the soil, un-
d er favorable conditions of
moisture and shade,
these eggs hatch out in about a
week or ten days into a larval
form or embryo hookworm. 1t
is the state in which it is capa-
BILE of entering the human body,
which it may do in two ways.
First, it may be swallowed with
contaminated food or water.
Second, it may get into the body
by boring through the skin.
The embryo hookworm pene.
trates most often the skin of the
feet of persons wearing no shoes
or leaky ones, However, they
may pass through the skin on
any portion of the body with
which they come in contact. In
penetrating the skin the embryos,
which are invisible to the naked
eye produce the ground itch, /"
toe itch," dew itch." or dew
poison" which is very often
