With the active cooperation of the
members of the Dixie Highway Assoc
lation in the various states, these two
barriers of about seventy miles each
will be removed in less than twelve
months. In Eastern Kentucky between
Cincinnati and Knoxville, Tennessee,
the three mountain counties of Knox,
Rcckcastle and Laurel have the funds
in hand and have started actively on
the work. Bell county has practically
completed her stretch of the highway
through the Cumberlands of Kentucky
I When this is completed, the Eastern
division of the highway from Detroit tc
| Miami Florida, can be travelled in
comfort, as the work yet to be done in
the remaining counties to change the
road from mere travelable one to d
first class highway will be completed
in excellent shape before that time.
Judge NJ. NJ. Allison, president OF
the Dixie Highway Association, is de
voting much of his time toward remoy-
| ing the barrier on the western division
OF the Highway between Nashville anG
| Chattanooga. When this is done the
western division will be in good trav
eIable condition from Chicago to Flor
ida. In the event that the countie.
along the present designation fail t.
comply with their agreement, Presi
| dent Allison has been given authority
to relocate the highway between these
points He has started out with tbs
determination to get the highway open
at the earliest possible date.
A part of the work which is of the
highest Importance to the towns and
various counties in attracting the
tourists, is the thorough marking OF
the highway. Many of the counties
have secured their supply of official
copyrighted markers and are now
putting them up. Every county which
has not already done so is being urged
to take up at once the question of Sc
curing the markers with the Dixie
Highway Association.

The announcement was hailed with

ATLANTA, Ga, April 15.-Georgia's
Industries are going to be modified
for war. If bad comes to worst in
Uncle Sans international relations,

arms will not find the industries OF
Georgia in disorganized, chaotic con-.
dition of unpreparedness. The govern
ment committee of experts that is cor

and industries of the United States has
appointed a subcommittee of promin.,
ent manufacturers and business men in
this state who will mobilize Georgia
from the economic standpoint.

Tourist Season OF Florida
Has Broken All Records

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 81
The tourist season in Florida now be-
ing brought to close has broken all
previous records in point of numbers.
The estimates of the railroads, based
on previous records placed the num-
Der of tourists from other states at
100000. This is considered conserv-
ative by many of the old resident of
the state who have been there since
the influx of tourists to that state be-
gan. 1t is conservative to say that in
excess of $4,000 more reached tropical
Florida by automobile. Garages in
all the principal cities and towns have
been unable to accommodate the cars
and have parked them out on the
streets and in vacant lots.
These tourists, travelling by auto
mobile, have reached Florida over
different roads for the most part and
on detours around the places they
most desired to see. Many of these
same tourists have besieged the office
OF the Dixie Highway Association and
their representatives to know if thew
could return over the Dixie Highway
and if they could tour back to Florida
next year in the car over a good road
all the way. This same question is
being asked by thousands of others
who went to Florida by train, being
advised of the condition OF the high
way between their home and Florida
points.
The same condition of a prosperous
country and American tourists barred
out of Europe together with the in.
creasing popularity of seeing America
thoroughly as it is only possible by
automobile, promises to bring about a
record breaking year with the resorts
along the Michigan Loop of the Dixie
Highway. The Southerners who would
like to go to the Michigan resorts this
summer by automobile are barred from
doing so by the same barriers on the
Dixie Highway which have prevented
the Northern tourists from reaching
Florida during the winter season.

GERMANY REPEATS
HOME GARDEN|hGS
AGAIN THIS YEAR

BERLIN, April 15.-Everything in
dictates that the great home gardening
campaign of 1915 is to be duplicated
this year, but on an even more extens-
i've scale. Seedmen report that people
began to buy garden seeds with a rush
il February, and the buying is now
proceeding at a rate never before
Known. The great dealers at Erfurt,
where the seed industry has it's center,
are answering mail orders with print
ed postcards begging customers to be
patient till they can fill the orders.
The strictest care is being taken
that seeds be bought only for bona fide
purposes. An American in Berlin, the
owner of a small garden ordered seed
potatoes from Erfurt, and was sur
prised week later to receive from a
dealer blank form on which the DO.
lice were to certify to the fact that he
owned garden and was therefore en-
titled to buy seed potatoes. Other
wise he might have eaten seed pota.
toes that cost threefold more than
ordinary ones.
The Imperial Government which
has taken no action last year for the
encouragement of vegetable growing
has now established a special bureau
at Berlin for that purpose. 1t has
appointed a horticultural expert to
take charge of it and to inaugurate
and conduct a countrywide campaign
for the increase of vegetable produc-
ton. His plan of operation embraces
practical measures of help, besides
mere propaganda. All available lands
about cities, factory sites, and else
where will be put into vegetables and
properly cultivated. The superintend-
ent of gardening is communicating
with the various economic war organ
izations to induce them to look after
supplies of manure for the armies OF
volunteer gardeners thus to be called
Into the field; the waste from slaugter
houses and cold-storage plants, and
the sweepings from the streets are to
be turned over to them at very low
cost.
Not only will vegetables be grown in
greater quantities than ever before
but the preserving of them will be on 9
larger scale than ever known. The 50
canning and preserving factories at
Brunswick (the center of the Industry
put up about 2O0,OOO,0O cans of veget,
ables from last years crop, as com
pared with 100000 cans for 1914.

There was banquet held in Chicago
Saturday night, at which Weeghman, in

They include some of Chicago's leading
| business men, headed by J. Ogden Ar

I, jr.. chewing gun manufacturer. A third

master of the National League of the

the latter that organized base ball will
be paying investment.

| it is gratifying to know that Sinclair
is not identified in financial way

But it seems that Sinclair is out of
base ball for good. There has been no
confirmation of the story that he and

the Cleveland club, and there does not
seem to be a chance of his becoming

Washington fans who remember the
turbulent days when "Scrappy Bill"
Joyce managed the local team will be
interested in his return to the game. In
fact, Bill was back last year, being the
scout for Fielder Jones of the st. Louis
Fed club, but that fact was kept Sc
cret for conditions at that time were
such that the Feds could not announce
their scouts.
But now Bill is one of the regulars.
He has been taken to the Browns with
Fielder Jones and will scour the coun-
try in an effort to find star ball players
for his team.
Joyce was quite a character in his
day. He was constantly in trouble with
the umpires. He was good hitter, but
only an ordinary fielder. Joyce broke
into the game nearly thirty years ago.
Steve Yerkes batted 1856 in the Fed
eral League last season, a mark which
is not very high considering the fact
that there were but few pitchers of
class in the Gilmore circuit and that
helped the batting.
But Joe Tinker nevertheless thinks
