"Shoot the buzzards," says Dr..
@. f. Luckey, State veterinarian
of Missouri. They are liable to
spread many different contagious
diseases among animals. The hog
cholera season is here, and the
buzzards aid to spread this disease.
A few outbreaks of anthrax have
occurred in Arkansas. Anthrax is
equally as bad as hog cholera.
Buzzards are likely to carry anth-
rax from Arkansas to Tennessee,
80 it is safer to shoot the buzzards
and burn them.
A great many people have been
led to believe that there is law in
Tennessee against killing buzzards.
This is mistake. The State vet
erinarians realize that buzzards
are menace to live stock produc-
tion in Tennessee. and, therefore,
should be killed and burned.

TAX PAYERS
PRAISE ROADS

Waverly, Tenn, September IL
Humphreys County's good roads,
for which the people are paying
S25o,Oc0, have been pronounced a
success eyen.sbefore the construc-
tion company, which has the con-
tract, has completed it's work.
The cutting down of the hills
and draining of the roads has
caused many who were opposed to
the bond issue to change their
minds in favor of the roads and
their maintenance.
A movement is now on foot, or
rather is being advocated by our
public-spirited citizens, to hard
surface all the roads recently con-
strncted. This will cost an addi-
tional sum of $150,000, but will
require no further tax levy, the
special levy having been made
large enough to take care of the
project.

CHINA'S GREAT NEED.

An American traveller, whose for
eign creed was whatever religion
any people have is "good enough
for them" and that there is no
reason why Christianity should be
substituted therefor, on a recent
visit to China was granted an audi
ence with one Of the two or three
men who are known to the world
statesmen as "the brains of the
China Of today and tomorrow"
The usual honorific greetings
were followed by eager questions
as to the state Of China, and finally
the traveller asked what, in the
mind Of the distinguished Chinese,
was the need of China today.
Instantly came the simple reply,
"Christianity, Of course"
"You astonish me-" said the
American. II would suppose that
you would have named new busi-
ness methods, a new and progress
sive administration, education, or
such. Why do you say, Christi
anity, Of course?'"
Because its the only thing that
goes deep enough said the emil

BAD EGGS.

During the past summer CAM
den seems to have been flooded
with stale, rotten eggs. Private
individuals bring them in without
Gambling and dump them on the
local grocers, who, in turn, sell
them to the consumers, who plead
for protection, and yet they are
not using that to which they are
entitled, for the grocer has no
more right to sell rotten egg
than be has to sell rotten ham.
If consumers will refuse to pay for
rotten eggs the grocers will proba-
bly, be little more careful about
what they buy and sell.

Facts to Remember.

In his address before the South
ern Cattlemen's Association at
Shreveport, La, recently Prof. w.
A. Cochel of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College said investigations in
Kansas showed that the average
acre of that State produced 80 to
33 bushels Of corn, while the aver
age acre on cattle farms produced
between IS and 60 bushels; also
that the average value of the farm
land Of that State was $50 an acre,
while the average value Of the beef
cattle farms was 500 an acre.

nent Oriental. "China needs al
those things that you mention, and
many, many more, but it needs
Christianity first, because that un-
derlies all the rest.
"Take single instance. We
have gold mines in China, one OF
which would make your Klondike
look 'like thirty cents, as you say.
1t is gold which is easy to work.
But we can not work it. Why not?
Because it we we're to fill our canal
boats full of it and start toward
the coast, every village mandarin
through whose boundaries our
boats passed would extort his bribe
to let them pass, and every other
official, little and big, would, as you
say, get his too. And when, we
reached the coast we would have
no gold at all-and would be lucky
if we still had the boats.
"No, China can never be reform
ed until it has new business prin-
ciples and governmental honesty,
and it can never have these until it
has new moral sense, and it can
never have that until it has become
Christian.
II myself am rich man, as wealth
goes in China, but I have not one
copper cash invested in China.
They are all invested in American
securities because America is a
Christian country, and that is the
only country where any invest
ment is SAFE"

A GOOD MOVE.

Waverly, Tenn, September IL
Cutting the plantation up in small
farms Of 10, 20 and 30 acres has
started in Humphreys County, and
judging from the interest which
the movement is exciting in it's in
cipiency, bids fair to reform the
rural life of the community.
This began here several months
ago when a farm of 40O-odd acres
was cut into seven farms and sold
at auction. Later another such
auction took place, each of which
were considered successful, the
owners Of the land making money
and several tenant farmers becom-
ing the owners of homes.
These two netted more than
$4,000 and served chiefly to stir
interest In the project or peOplelng
the county with home owners
rather than tenant farmers.
Now the movement has pene-
trated Big Bottom, whose corn
lands are rated second to none in
the United States, and a plantation
valued at $4,000 has been adver-
tised for sale and cut into small
tracts SO that they may be bought
by men of small means.
Two other plantations adjoining
each other and comprising 1000
acres will be sold in the same way
soon, it is reported.

WHY EDISON '
is FOR WILSON

Thomas A. Edison, lifelong Re-
publican and a strong supporter Of
Roosevelt's candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination, has made
announcement of his intention to
vote and work for Woodrow Will
son. Mr.. Edison has made the
following statement:
"Not since 1860 has any cam
paign made such a direct call Of
simon-pure Americanism. The
times are too serious to talk or
think in terms of Republicanism
or Democracy. Real Americans
must drop parties and get down to
big fundamental principles.
"More than any other President
in my memory Wilson has been
faced by a succession Of tremen-
dous problems, any one Of which
decided in the wrong way would
have had disastrous consequences.
Wilson's decisions so far have not
got us into any serious trouble, nor
are they likely to.
"He has given us peace with
honor. All this talk about the
United States being despised is
nonsense. Neutrality is mighty
trying policy, but back of it are
international law, the rights of
humanity and the future of civili-
zation.
"With reference to Mexico, I
think that the President has acted
wisely, justly and courageously.
1t was right that the United States
should not have recognized such a
murderous personality as Huerta.
/ do not believe that we should
have intervened nor do | believe
that we should intervene now.
"Mexico is troublesome neigh
Dor just now, but war and conquest
is not going to make her better
one. Both against England and
against human slavery the United
States worked out it's salvation,
and it was a pretty slow, trying
process.
''It has been said that Wilson at
first was against preparedness.
Perhaps he was, but when con-
vinced that intelligent public
opinion was overwhelmingly in
favor Of it, he changed. That is
the proper thing for our President
to do. A President defiant of
public opinion would be danger
GUS man in our system Of govern
ment.
"They say he has blundered.
Perhaps he has. But I notice that
he usually blunders forward"
