Pulled Finger Off
In Mower Wheel.

Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Jim
Brundige happened to very pain
full accident. He had his team
hitched to a mower preparatory to
cutting hay, unthoughtedly tied
the lines around the mower wheel,
while fixing something about the
mower; the team began to back,
and he grabbed the wheel to pre-
vent their backing, and his fingers
were caught between the wheel
and the lines. He saw at once
that be was fastened and that the
team would back the mower over
him, which would be almost sure
death. He gave severe jerk and
pulled his fore finger off at the
middle JOINT, also pulling the tend
on from the elbow. DR.. Howard

A GRANDPARENTS LOVE.

A pathetic suicide and murder
occurred near Dyersburg one day
last week.
A young man, his wife and
their small boy and the young
mans aged mother resided to.
gether in the country. The young
man secured a position with a
mercantile firm at Dyersburg;
he was preparing to move his
family to town, but the aged
mother was not going-but her
darling grandson was to be torn
from hel; the child she had
nurtured, fondled, humored, pet
ted, loved-the small piece OF
humanity she worshipped next
to her Savior. She brooded over
the approaching separation, griev-
ing and pining, until her mind
became deranged; she made the
remark that she and the boy
would never be torn apart.
Going home from bis labors
one night the young man was
Mortified to find the dead bodies
of his mother and the child in
the front yard, both with their
Threats cut.
The poor, old loving, doting
grandma couldn't stand the idea
of separation. No one knew the
bleedings of her heart. She told
no one her anguish. The heart
aches the poor old soul must have
suffered were, no doubt, beyond
the power of mortal tongue to
describe. No one can understand
this grand-parent affection except
one who has closely observed
it-none but one who has daily
watched the companionship grow
and grow between grand-parent
and grand-child. 1t is the strongest
bond in existence-more power
erful than hoops Of steel or any
other earthly power, This love
between grand-parept and grand
child, is, next to mother love, the
greatest thing in the wide, wide
world. Teach the child to honor
his/grand-parents. Teach him to
love and reverence them, When
he grows old it will remain a
sweet heritage.

GREAT is WILSON. :

Great is President Wilson and
great is the democratic party which
elected him to the presidency
Of the United States.
Under the Wilson administra-
ton, as shown by his speech Of &C.
ceptance on last Saturday, more
constructive legislation, for the
emancipation of the great mass
of the common people has
been enacted into law than for
the same period since the estab-
lishment of the republic.
Under the guidance Of President
Wilson the United States has NOV
ed along, peacefully, prosperously
and progressively in the face Of the
great European conflict, with
Mexico,our next-door neighbor, in
a state of revolution and in the
face of opposition from the oppon-
ent party. But he has manfully
given the country clean, clear
cut administration. keeping US out
of war with Germany. maintaining
our pleasant and friendly relations
with Great Britain; he has kept us
from a conflict with Mexico and
has guided the old ship of state in
straight course. Lastly, be has
prevented the biggest proposed
strike the world ever faced. Had
the advice of republican leaders in
the congress OF the United States
been followed this country would
today be wrestling with the most
paralyzing situation ever confront
ing it, for the strike would be in
full force, business Of every char
acter would be at standstill, labor
would be worthless, farm products
would have no set value and the
would be in a state Of re-
almost. But President
Wilson set his strong arm to the
throttle, he guided the pation's
destinies-he has kept US from all
these disturbing things that have
threatened us within recent
and history will accord
him prominent place in the ma
lions foremost presidents, if not
The very first place.
Great is President Wilson,

Waste Lands Cost Money.

Washington, D. C.-Every acre of
non-producing tillable land should
be put to work or sold, says new
publication of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Farmers
Bulletin 745. Many farmers would
make more money if their business
were larger, but the size of farm,
from a financial standpoint, is meas
ured not by the number Of acres en-
braced in it but by the number that
are producing crops, pasturing ami
mails economically, or supporting
growth of marketable forest prod
ucts, Non-productive acres are loaf
er acres, and the money tied up in
them is dead capital.
On every farm, however, there are
certain areas necessarily devoted to
non productive purposes. Fences,
bitches, lanes and building lots pro-
duce nothing themselves, but they
are frequently essential to produc-
tion on the rest of the farm. Never
theless, they may occupy in the ag-
gregate a considerable percentage of
the available land. 1t is a part of
efficient farm management to see to
it that this percentage is no higher
than necessary.

Federal Farm Loan
Board Provisions

In an interview with +. S. A.
Smith the agricultural organizer OF
the Federal Farm Loan Board, in
Ashland Friday, he gave out the fol-
lowing information about the pro-
visions under which farm loans are
TO be granted:
Each farm loan bank will start
with capital stock of $750,00O.
The subscription lists will be open
for thirty days for those desiring to
take the stock. If not 4aken the
government will put in the $3.50, 900.
Bonds can be sold for twenty times
the capital stock. Every time loan
is made the bank stock increases
and thus forms an endless chain.
When fifteen million dollars in
bonds have been sold $3.50, 900 more
have been accumulated to loan. The
rate of interest charged borrowers
can not exceed rate greater than
! per cent in excess of the price at
which the bonds are sold and in any
event can not be more than 6 per
cent. The margin of per cent is to
provide for the expense of the opera
tion Of the bank. II is thought that
this expense may not be greater than
one-half of l per cent, In which case,
II the bonds should sell for, say, 4
per cent, the rate of interest to the
borrower would be AK per cent.
The security for the loan shall be a
first mortgage on an improved farm
and the amount of the loan can not
exceed one-half the real value of the
property. One Of the greatest fea-
lures OF the board plans, it is held,
is the amortization plan calling for
small yearly payments on the princi-
paD. Money can be borrowed for
forty years and any part may be paid
after five years. Under the amort-
ization plan. embracing the feature
OF compound interest, a borrower
can discharge his entire obligation
of both principal and interest in
thirty-three years by paying annually
the interest plus an additional l
per cent.
A minimum of ten members is re-
quired to form local association
and the association must borrow
$4,000 to start with in order to OBJ
tain charter, after which loans may
be made in any amount, Each Dor.
rover is required to take per cent
of his loan in stock. The money re.
ceived for this stock is used by the
local association to buy stock in the
district bank. The extreme liability
