There is a distinct advantage in an
established reputation for exceptional
efficiency in some particular line, and
it applies alike to business as to the
professions and to labor. It is fea-
ture that attracts attention, and ac-
cords an identity that does not attach
to an attempt to fill the requirements
in all lines indiscriminately. IF you
are specialist to the extent that the
public thinks of you when any par
ticular thing is demanded, you have a
trade-getting and profit-making
equipment that is invaluable.

Putting money into an enterprise
in order to promote its development
is legitimate investment. Buying
stock to profit by its rise, through
manipulative activity is a dangerous
form OF speculation, as discreditable
as it is foolish.

RECORD CROPS FOR
AMERICAN HARVEST

Washington, Aug. 9.-Three
billion bushels Of corn, one and a
hall billion bushels OF oats and a
billion bushels Of wheat are in
prospect for this years American
harvest. Record crops of rye,
white and sweet potatoes, tobacco,
rice and hay also are predicted.
Farmers planted $40, 546, 900 acres,
or 100000 acres more than last
year, to their principal products.
The wheat crop, the greateet
ever grown in any country, will
be worth more than 81 900, 900,
while the corn crops value may
reach $2,50O,000,OOO.
Estimates of the principal
crops, announced today by the
department of agriculture, based
on conditions of Aug. 1, show
that all crops will be greater than
last year. Wheat and corn both
showed improvement over July
conditions, though excessive rains
and cold weather in the central
states interferred with threshing.
Oats also suffered in those states,
but in other sections the inn
provement more than offset this.
Corn prospects increased al.
most 100,000,000 bushels, the
principal gains having been ILL
nois, 100000 bushels; Kansas,
$4,000, 900; Oklahoma, 26,0OO,0OO;
Nebraska, 15,000,000; Iowa, H.
100000, and Texas, 100000.
Kansas showed a loss Of H..
100000 bushels in winter wheat,
Oklahoma, 100000, Nebraska,
100000 and Missouri 100000,
while Ohio and Indiana showed
an increase Of 100000 bushels
each.
White potatoes promise to ex-
coed their former record produc.
ion by 103,000,000 bushels and
tweet potatoes by 100000 bush.
els. Other increases over record
cropg indicated include tobacco,
28,OOO,O 900 pounds; fax, 100000
hay, 100000 tons, and
rye, 1900, 900 bushels. Corn pros
poets fell 206, 100000 bushels and
bats $4,000, 900 bushels below the
'ecords.

RESERVE BANK TO
PROTECT PLANTERS.

Preparatory to the marketing of
the 1915 cotton crop, the federal
reserve bank OF the Atlanta district
is making ready to prevent the
unfortunate conditions which pre-
vailed in the south last winter,
caused by the panic in the staple
and about everything else in the
South that was in any way con.
nected with the crop.
President McCord OF the Atlanta
bank has just issued a circular
letter to all member banks Of the
Atlanta district, explaining about
loans on cotton, showing the re-
quirements, etc.
This notice is accompanied by a
circular asking for essential in
formation in regard to the cotton
business in all the territory Of
member banks.
These circulars are self.explana-
tory and are as follows:
LOANS ON COTTON.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 5, 1915.
To the Member Banks of District
No. 6:
Your attention is called to the
statement made by the federal
reserve board and published in
the daily papers of Augusta, 1915,
regarding the cotton situation.
Should the present abnormal con-
ditions continue, as outlined in
the boards statement, and this
years cotton crop be forced upon
the market as soon as it is
it is quite likely that the
farmer will realize a price below
the cost of production. This can
be avoided by the graded market
ing Of the cotton.

COLLATERAL IN LOANS.

The resources of the federal
reserve bank can be made use of
to accomplish this graded sale Of
cotton, if its producers will put the
cotton in condition where it can be

TESTIFIED CHRISTMAS
COMES IN NOVEMBER,

This has been a busy week with
Judge Jones big show, with
morning matinees, at the coun.
tvs temple Of justice, where fines
have been assessed in large
number Of cases. Many of these
were for drunkenness, disturbing
public worship, carrying pisto
and selling liquor. The Jail is full
and the lookout is good for a fine
bunch Of hands to put out on the
road.
The grand jury, composed Of
some of the county's best men,
is doing excellent work. Sc
many indictments have been re.
turned by this august body that
blank indictments run out on
Tuesday and Clerk House was
forced to telephone to Union City
for supply to last until more
could be printed.
Three unusual things occurred
in court on Tuesday. The first
was the completion of Tom
Brooks trial with the defendant
absent. Brooks went home Mon
day afternoon when court ad-
iourned, his trial being in prog
ress at that hour. Tuesday morn
ing he did not show up, and his
case was proceeded with. He was
absent when the verdict was an
nounced by the jury and still
absent when sentence was pro-
nounced. But Sheriff LaFon got
Jim Etheridge's automobile and
the two made a hurry run for
Kenton, where Brooks was ap-
pretended and brought here and
placed in jail to serve six months
sentence. Sheriff LaFon deserves
TO be congratulated on his quick
work in this case. He always
loes the right thing at the right
lime and right now.
Another of the unusal things
vas the in the case Of the state
IS. John Tucker, a highly re-
pectable citizen OF near Gleason
7ho was indicted for carrying a
'istol. The "unusal' in this
lstance was that for the first
lme in the history Of Weakley
Ounty a woman was allowed to
9stify in behalf of her husband,
lrs. Tucker going on the witness
and in behalf of her aged hus.
and. The last Legislature passed
law allowing women to testify in
9half of their husbands in GER
in criminal cases, and this is
q first case on record in the
ate. Mrs. Tucker showed that
g pistol was put into the buggy
thout the knowledge or consent
Mr.. Tucker. He was promptly
quilted. ....
The third was in the trial of

HUERTA'S TRIAL
SET FOR JULY Y
Former President and Five Compan.
ions Are Again Released by Court
Under Same Bonds.

FL Paso, Tex, July 1.-The case
against Victoriano Huerta, Pascual
Orozco and four others charged with
conspiracy to violate the United States
neutrality laws, was postponed today
to July II. The defendants were con
tinued under the same bonds.
The postponement was granted on
request of attorneys for the prosecu-
ton. r. E. Crawford, assistant United
States district attorney, stated that the
government had been unable to col
lect and arrange all It's evidence or to
bring important witnesses into court;
that the state would proceed to trial on
July T.
Counsel for the defense agreed to
the governments request and briefly
explained the status to the defendants,
who quietly left the court room. This
agreement was reached shortly before
10 O'Clock, the hour set for the hear
ing. The spectators filed out of the
court room quickly and the crowd that
the federal building, un-
able to gain admittanee. dispersed rap
idly.

Attaches of the court Yesterday
morning expressed their opinions that
the panel would not be completed this
week. At that time not a single juror
had been finally accepted by both
sides. But the attorneys were less ex-
acting during the day in their de-
mands On the qualifications of the
prospective Jurors and the result was
that task of securing a full venire did
not prove as lengthy as was forecasted.
Forty-five veniremen were examined
in all These were made up from the
regular list and a special venire drawn
by the sheriff. The defense rendered
four before recess yesterday morning.

the quartet without questioning them

afternoon the last group he offered
