YOUNG MAN CHOPS .
...- BIG TOE FROM FOOT

Dunlap, Tenn, August g.
Laurence Ewton. of PABLO, Sc
quatchie county, chopped the big
toe from his right foot recently
while cutting logs. The surgeon
summoned stuck the toe in place
again and with a few stitches it
seems to be doing very well.
Some parties were unkind enough
to say that Ewton chopped his
foot purposely with intent to
eyade military service. The fact
is, however, that the timber he
was cutting is intended for ship
building, and Ewton says he
ought to get credit for being
among the first to shed blood for
his country.

SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO FARM EXHIBITS

Special attention will be made
to farm exhibits this year at the
Sequatchie Valley Fair to be held
at South Pittsburg September
1851. The management is es-
pecially interested in this, as they
feel that the demands of the
times are such that farmers
should make special effort to-
wards greater farm production.
The fact that this fair is propos-
ing larger, more complete and
more attractive exhibits than any
former exhibition, they feel, will
prove an incentive to greater eff
fort, and will mean the generous
bringing forth of interesting spe
cimens of farm growth, whether
in stock, vegetables or grains.
The needs of the times demand
that land should be pushed to its
utmost productive capacity, for
the scarcity of food stuff the
world over is tremendous. The
American farmer should be as
alive to what is demanded of him
as never before, and increased
production should be his slogan.

EGGS WELL COOKED ~aagr
MAKE INEXPENSIVE
,.-. IL BREAKFAST DISH
Reasons Given Why Fried Eggs Are Of
Less Value Than Poaehed Eggs.


II you like eggs, and wish to get
from them all possible food value when
you eat them, don't fry them. Poach
the egg, or cook it in the shell.
Fat. when exposed to heat. such as
frying an egg. undergoes a chemical
change, and is very hard to digest.
This indigestible fat encases the egg
which should be digested in the stom-
ach. The fat is not attacked In the
stomach but passes into the intestines
for its digestion. This Is too late to
use the full amount of the egg for
body building.
Cook an egg in low temperature. the
same as you would cook meat. milk,
or cheese.
One may have a dish which is espe-
cially good for breakfast, made as fol-
lows:
Bring to q boil II can OF tomatoes.
seasoned. Place this in fiat bowl
that can be placed in the oven. In the
center OF the tomatoes drop from three
to six eggs. Set in the oven. Cook
until the whites coagulate. This gives
both an attractive and wholesome dish
and takes the place of fresh fruit In
the breakfast to be used in the winter
time when fresh fruit Is scarce.
Eggs are not an expensive food
when one considers that. II properly
cooked. a very large percentage is
available for body use.-Geneva Con-
way, Division of Agricultural EIten-
sion. University of Tennessee, Knox

SlLAGE WILL BE NEEDED.

Whenever there are ten or more
head of cattle to be wintered, there
should be one or more silos. The
largest ears should be pulled off, and
the stover used in filling the silo. The
Tennessee wood-hoop is the best for
temporary silo; the concrete for per-
manency. Every acre of corn which
does not go into the silo should be cut
and shocked.

Boi,ermakers Still Out.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-One humid
red and twenty ship building and other
plants on San Francisco bay, closed for
nearly two weeks by the strike of 30,-
900 members of the Iron Trades Council
reopened today but they reopened al
most entirely without boilermakers.
Because of the attitude Of this union,
the whole situation was complicated
more than ever. At the Union Iron
Works it was stated that some of the
boilermakers had appeared for work,
but they constituted only a fraction of
the men needed to carry on ship con
struction. This was doubted by Seere-
tary Enwright of the boilermakers un-
ion, who announced that any member Of
that union who returned to work will
be expelled.
Thousands of members of other I'M
ions filed into the ship building plants
promptly at o clock, the opening hour.
No disorder was reported from any
quarter. Reports from Oakland and Ala
media showed that although the plants
there threw open their gates today, op-
erations on large scale cannot be re
sumed until Monday.

10 600 Walked Ont.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 29.--Ten thou
sand ship yard workers and metal work
ers in shops doing contract work for
shipyards went on strike here at 10
O clock this morning.
Eleventh hour attempts to avert the
strike yesterday failed. The men have
walked out of 96 yards and shops.
Agreements to pay the increased scale
were signed yesterday by 16 yards and
shops employing $500 men, while the
Skinner and Eddy yards, the largest
steel yard in the city, employing 1000
men, signed the agreement some weeks
ago.
Shipyard owners declared this after
noon that the strike would last at least
two weeks, while union officials hesl-
tated to fix its duration.
The yard owners hold that it is use
less for them to sign the wage scale
agreement with the metal trades council
if the carpenters boycott against ten
hour lumber is to continue. They declar-
ed that it will be necessary for both
isues to be settled at the same time.
United States shipping board adjust
ment board is expected to arrive in
Seattle Wednesday and no attempts at
mediation will be made until after its
arrival.
