ter of making an appropriation and
securing a farm demonstration. How
ever, it is likely that the government
support will be given to the counties
which are first to comply with the
necessary requirements and this coun-
ty may possibly fail to comply with
them before it is too late. However,
we believe that Santa Rosa has the
matter under consideration and will
likely make the necessary arrange
ments at their next meeting.

CANNING CLUBS To
BE MUCH IMPROVED
BY APPROPRIATION

The canning club work is now on
a better basis than it has been here
tofore, says Miss Lonny Landrum,
home demonstration agent, who in
speaking of the work stated that in
many counties in the state provision
could not be made for the work, as
the federal funds for carrying it on
had been distributed.
Referring to the appropriation
made by the board of county COM
missioners for carrying on the work
next year, Miss Landrum stated that
it offered much greater opportunity
for accomplishing results than has
been possible before. Under the new
appropriation, the work can be con-
tinued for II months each year in
stead of 9 as previously, and in this
respect alone Miss Landrum said that
it would be a benefit to the girls.
1t will now be possible, Miss Ian
drum stated, for the girls to plant
fall and winter gardens under her
supervision, and will thereby increase
their earnings and utilize the time
and ground which have been wasted

one ADVANTAGE OF.
LIVING IN SOUTH.

One advantage we have in this sec
ton over those farther north is that
where crops are too badly damaged
we can yet make forage crop by
planting sorghum and peas, either or
both. Corn that will not make ears
can be cut and cured for forage and
make mighty good feed for cattle and
work stock. Saved carefully and fed
the winter to penned cattle it will go
back on the land next year in the
form of barn yard manure to take
the place of commercial fertilizer,
which in our opinion, is going to be
both higher in price and harder to
get next year than this.-DeF'uniak

CLEVELAND CLUB SOLD.
Rumorcd That Charles w. Murphy
 May Be Shareholder.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-The sale of the Cleveland American League Club to new owners has been practically com pleted according to a statement made last night by President B. B. John son of the league who declined to con- firm or deny various rumors that Charles w. Murphy, former Club own CT, was to be one of the stockholders, or that Chicago capital was interested. Sanction of the sale will be asked by Mr. Johnson at the American League meeting in New York this week and the formal announcement probab bly, will be made in Cleveland.
 The change in ownership is likely to involve no change in the manage ment, according to Mr. Johnson. Lee Fohl, who led the club the latter part of the 1915 season, has signed a con- tract for the coming year. It had been reported that George Stovall would take the management.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?
You have noticed no

You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsidies Is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate Things of the nasal passages and clog them up.
 To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos trils frequently with solution of warm water and salt, insert vaseline on re- tiring, and take spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month. Scott's acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes.
 Scott's is pleasant to take.

Consequently, it is admitted that should the allies decline to adopt the American suggestion to disarm mer- chantmen, founded primarily upon a desire to save the lives of innocent non-com batants, this government can- not announce its approval of the in tentlons of the Teutonic powers to torpedo without warning after Feb ruary 29, all armed vessels although various high officials are convinced that the position of Germany and Aus tria is justified
 State department officials now are engaged in trying to determine just what will happen when the com. manders of German and Austrian submarines begin to put their new in- structions into effect. It is said too, that the United States in the near future may make some inquiries as to how the central powers intend to determine whether merchantmen en- countered by their submarines are armed.
