CHENEY CONCERT COMPANY
And Their Golden Organ Chimes
at the Reynolds Monday, Feb. 7.

The Cheneys, having made music
their life study and profession, and hav-
ing toured practically every State in the
Union in the last five years, have build
ed a reputation as soloists and artists
that is enviable. The title of the Re-
turn Date Party" has been rightfully
given them-having made third and
fourth return dates always with an in
creased audience.
Programs of violin, viola, cello, cor
net, piano and vocal solos, ensemble
numbers, duets and trios of the various
instruments; mixed quartets, organ
chimes played by the entire company;
vocal solos with chimes accompani-
ments; character representations, play
lets and sketches by company.
A large repertoire including the stand
ard overtures, selections from operas,
classic and monoclassic selections, Irish
ballads and unique arrangements of the
national airs and folk songs.
The white House Golden Organ
Chimes" were especially manufactured.
and are the largest and best known in
existence. They are the only set OF
chimes ever admitted to the home of
Presidents, having been used in concert
in the famed East Room at the White
House, and listened to with delight
and establishment by over five hundred
guests. For harmony and richness oil
tone they are unexcelled.

Abolish the Fees.

There is a general impression, based
on the assumption of crookedness
among certain judges and unfitness OF
certain municipal officials that Gov. Rye
is going to assemble the Legislature in
extraordinary session.
In the event OF such a session one OF
the matters to come before the Legisla-
ture will be the impeachment OF Judge
Jesse Edgington, OF Memphis, and prob
ably other judges in the State and the
passage OF a law making it impossible
for officials removed from office under
the provisions OF the custer law to ever
hold office again in Tennessee.
II the temper OF the State press is in
dicative OF the sentiment OF the people,
which should direct the deliberations OF
the members OF the Legislature, the
time is ripe for the enactment OF meas
ures OF still more far reaching impor-
lance. One that should be considered
is bill abolishing the fee system IN the
larger counties of the State.
A case in question which should i'm
press the people with the necessity of
such measure is cited by the Memphis
Commercial Appeal.
Growing out of the arrest of one young
oh
about 5000, John A. Riechman, sheriff,
and William ]. Bacon, clerk of the
Criminal Court, have rendered costs
bills in the amount of 81 468.35 to the
| State.
Riechman's share is $797.75 and Ba-
con IS share is $670.60.
This is probably the biggest fee
grabbing bill that ever went to the
comptroller of the State Of Tennessee
from Shelby County fee-grabbers.
| Riechman sent in bill to the State
Comptroller for $797.7 rs for subpenaing
fifteen witnesses in the case of Edward
Stadmiller, Jr., charged with embez.
cling less than $500. The clerk of the
Criminal Court sent in bill of 1910. go
for his services in the case. The tota'
amount certified by w. j. Bacon, clerk
of the Criminal Court, to the Comptroller
Of the State treasury was 81 1885.
There is no worse evil than the fee
system in Tennessee. The enormous
profit of the offices encourages slush
funds, ballot-box stuffing and every de-
vice known to corrupt politicians.
The people of Tennessee pay more
than enough taxes to conduct the affairs
of the State except for the fact that
clerks of various courts not qualified to
earn more than $75 a month make
from 500, 1000 to $4,000 a year ont o.
fees.
The time has come for the abolition
of this pernicious and legalized form oil
graft. Banner.

Relieve Dyspepsia.
Among all the remedies in the Red
Cross Drug Store, there are few that
they are willing to sell on a guarantee
to refund the money if they do not cure.
Mi-o-na, the famous dyspepsia rem
edy, has helped so many of their GUS
toners that they say: If this remedy
does not relieve you, come back to our
store and we will cheerfully return your
money" ..
Anyone who has dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, headaches, dizzy feelings or liver
troubles, should take advantage of this
chance to be made well without any risk
of spending their money to no purpose.
Mi-o-na will relieve you, will regulate
the digestion, will enable you to eat
what you want. II it does not do this
1T will not cost you a cent.
The Red Cross Drug Store has sold
hundreds of boxes of Mi-o-na and have
yet to receive the first complaint from
any customer. Such record is simply
marvellous and speaks volumes for the
merit of the remedy.
Do not suffer day longer with dis
ordered digestion. If Mi-o-na does not
give you complete satisfaction you have
the Red Cross Drug Stores personal
guarantee to return your ney.-Adv.

POindexter Urges
Rapids for Big
Nitro Plant

If Senator Poindexter has his
way, Priest Rapids, instead Of be.
ing developed by private capital,
will become a big nitrate plant,
owned and developed by the gov
ernment. Twenty million dollars
have been appropriated for such a
plant and Senator Poindexter be-
lieves that Priest Rapids is the
place where it should be spent.
The following news item on the
matter is taken from the Spokes-
man-Review: Il
To board to consist of an
officer representing the army en-
gineers, an officer representing the
ordnance department Of the army
and representative of the de-
partment of agriculture will be
delegated the duty Of making
recommendations for locating the
government nitrate plant, for
which $50, 100000 has been ap-
propriated.
One of the first questions to be
considered will be whether it is
cheaper, all elements, including
freight rates, being taken into
consideration, to make nitrates by
hydroelectric power or as a by
product from coal. ,
Senator Poindexter, who Is urg-
ing the selection Of a site in the
Spokane region, said today:
II find, on inquiry at the Office
of the army engineers, that in the
tentative list of possible sites for a
hydro c-electric plant, in the event
that that process is chosen, is
Priest Rapids, and that Colonel
Cavanaugh. district engineer at Sc
attic, has been called on for re-
ports on all other available sites in
the district. My judgment is that
it might be we'll for the Spokane
people to concentrate their efforts
on the Priest Rapids plan.
''In iications now are that one Of
the determining factors in the se-
lection will be ability to market
the surplus nitrates for agrichtu-
raj fertilizer purposes. Here
comes in the element of freight
rates, which is an important one.
II believe that, however, the
purely military considerations
might very we'll be emphasized. 1t
is proposed to spend half a million
dollars in constructing a powder
factory, and such factory should
be adjacent to the nitrate plant.
There is q government powder fac
tory adjacent to the Atlantic sea-
board, but none adjacent to the
Pacific seaboard, a seaboard Of
equal strategic Importance. l have
urged this idea on the army engi-
neers -

Spray Goblin Bug
July 2O-3O.

Local fruit growers are advised
by District horticultural Inspector
Powell to spray for the second
brood Of codling moth in the Col.
umbia River district between the
dates of July 20 and 80. Use six
pounds of Lead Arsenate paste or
three pounds of powder to 200 gal
Ions of water, and use q mist"
spray.
After this spraying, the Wine
saps should be sprayed every thirty
days and the Rome Beauties, Spitz,
Delicious and Jonathans every 20
to 25 days for the remainder of
the season.
The season 1915 was generally
considered q worn year." Be-
cause of a concurrence Of several
factors more apples than usual
were wormy at harvest and CORES
pondingly more worms than usual
went into winter quarters. Ordin-
arily the winter mortality Of the
codling moth is excessive, as is OBJ
viously apparent when we consider
how few apples become wormy
early in the season year after year.
The past winter. however, although
severe. did not manifest the alter
nate freezing and thawing which
is most fatal to the codling moth.
In many localities, q snow blanket
held over into spring to protect
the worms in the ground. Accord.
idgly the codling moth has been
transforming in numbers and in
the warmer valleys the first brood
Of worms is showing up to start
ling extent.
First brood worms should be de-
stroyed by every means possible,
declares DR.. A. L. Melander, Ento-
molo9ist of the Washington Exper.
iment Station. A codling moth
produces forty some eggs and as in
many districts partial third gen.
Grafton exists which is at least rs
numerous as the second generation.
every worm destroyed early in the
season carries with it the destruc-
tion of dozens of others.
Owing to the habit Of the major
ity of codling worms to enter the
fruit through the calyx cavity. the
Importance of proper calyx spray.
ing Immediately after blossoming
cannot be overstated. This spray
ing is effective for the last worm
OF the season as we'll as for the
first. but does not help much in de-
stroying the minority Of worms
which seek to enter apples through
the sides. The relatively few
worms which have this habit must
be reached by series of cover
sprayings, but because Of a pecul-
lar instinct of the newly Matched
wopms, cover sprays are never 100
per cent effective. When q worm
bites into the apple skin it rejects.
without swallowing, the tough ep.
idermis. Only accidentally then
does it swallow any poison, for its
mouth becomes pretty we'll cleaned
by the rejected billings. Owing to
this habit many worms can work
through even the most complete OF
cover coatings. 1t seems, further.
more, practically impossible to coat
every portion Of every apple. so
that many worms gain free en-
trance into the fruit. It is such
escaping worms which cause de.
struction by multiplying into q
second and third brood.
A cover spraying is considered
effective for three or four weeks.
