ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Agricultural Exhibit at Fair.

The Mercer County Crop Improve
ment association will be represented
at the coming fair by a large demon
stration exhibit to be located near the
east entrance of agricultural hall
County Agent /. F. Gilmore and bis
assistant. Clyde Dexter, have worked
out plans for something out of the
ordinary in fair exhibit work. and are
now busy getting the material to-
gether. Mr.. Gilmore states that one
OF the growing needs of soils in Mer-
Ger county is nitrogen and the only
practical means of obtaining 1t is
through the use of the legume crops,
clovers, alfalfa, soy beans and COW
peas. With this in mind a general
study of the legumes of the county
has been made this summer and rep
resentative samples of most Of these
will be on exhibit at the fair. 1t will
be a surprise to many TO know that
there are a large number of the le-
gumes growing wild in the county and
little study of them and show how
nature attempts TO care for the soil
and Offset the great loss of nitrogen
by cropping and teaching.

from Washington yesterday that the
senate had refused to confirm the nom

in an effort TO persuade President Will
son to appoint a man of German an
cestry or nativity to succeed POstmas-

questioned at the August meeting of
the federal council as to why he yielded
to the demands Of the United States re-
garding the unrestricted torpedoing of
ships on the high seas, replied emphat-
ically that the value of the submarine
was exaggerated by the adherents of
wholesale tOrpedoing.
The chancellor said that insistence
on an unrestricted submarine warfare
would cause war between Germany
and the United States and that the re-
suits Of unlimited torpedOing would
not justify such policy.
Celebrating this point the chancellor
is quoted as saying that Germany could
not effectively blockade England nor
cut off England's food supplies.

by S. F. Mcdonald of Memphis, Tenn,
president of the National Association
of Master Bakers, in an address before
the executive committee of the associa-

sary, he said, because of the advanced
price of materials, especially flour.
Exclusive sale of a 10-cent loaf of
bread is favored by President McDOn-
aid. Bakers face a loss of one cent in
manufacturing a five-cent loaf, he said.

priced SOW. For this animal Mr.. Gill
more paid the sum of $3.50. On the
following night, before Mr.. Gilmore
had arranged to have the hog removed
from the scene of the sale to his farm
near Davenport, it gave birth to nine
healthy baby pigs. This most GER

To Hit PIacards,

One of the interesting things to be
brought up will be a resolution by
Supervisor Edward Bakersfield of this
city, relative to abolishing the GUS
tom of allowing political placards
placed in the court house building. 1ele
arenas on each of the three floors are
literally covered with the pictures Of
candidates and Supervisor Bakersfield
is of the opinion that the plan is Jay
town stuff" and should not be permit
ted in the future.
At this session of the board, the mat
ter of submitting to the electorate the
county tuberculosis sanatorium will be
considered. The subject has been dis
cussed at several meetings and a COM
mittee reported pointing out the ad-
vantages of such an institution. A pc
tition asking that the project be put
up to the voters at the next general
election was filed some time ago and
1T is mandatory, under the law, for the
board to do so.

DIXIE HIGHWAY

The Times Star, of Cincinnati,
has the following editorial on the
Progress of the Dixie High
way" which will be of interest
here: cit was less than a year
ago that the Middle West determ-
iued on an active effort to make
Dixie Highway reality. Yet
the progress actually made in con-
struction and preparation since
that time is amazing. 1t is now
expecte that the great highway,
which is 10 reach from Mama +,
fla, to Chicago and Michigan,
through Cincinnati and Louisville
vii be completed from end to
end much sooner than originally
expected. One third of the coun-
les through which the highway
will pass, reported expenditures
n six months of $I,765,ooo on
actual construction Using these
igures as basis, the American
Ontractor estimates that the
amount spent in 1915 in all of the
1862 counties on the routes 1follow.
ed by the highway was not less
than $500, 900. This is a very
impressive beginning. The. same
authority says that in one third
Of the total number of couuties
interested, $6,93I 900 is known to
be available for work in 1916.
Using the same basis of estimates
the American Contractor figures
that in 162 counties $40. 900, 600
will be available for 1916. At
this rate the Dixie Highway will
soon be a reality. 1t will form a
magnificent North and South route
and one which should spur its
proposed east to west rival to
greater activity"
