r Henry Fairfield Osborn, president
Of the American Museum OF Natural

committee Of the expedition, said the
other day that he considered the sci

ton fully justified its enormous cost
He expressed the hope that the gen

concerned in bearing the expense.
George II. Sherwood, acting chairman
of the committee in charge, says that
he feels confident that barring acct

the Macmillan party in the early au-

MAY DEVELOP MINE
Owners Looking After Coal
DEVELOPMENT Near Peavine.

Last week Clinton B. Roe, promi-
nent New York lawyer, arrived at
Peavine and was looking after the
splendid vein of coal recently opened
on the property of Mr.. Price.
Mr.. Roe has a large interest in the
Cumberland Lumber Company hold
ings of over 4, 600 acres and is here
relative to developing the property
as a coal proposition as we'll as for
lumber. Mr.. Price has made several
openings on his so acres and in each
instance a splendid vein of coal is
shown. From the lay of the country
the coal is thought to underlie both
the property of the Cumberland Lum-
Der Company and the holdings of the
Phillipsburg Land Company. 1t is
rumored that Mr.. Roe and his associ-
ates are seeking to purchase the
Price land and it is said the deal
would have been. closed before now
but that Mr.. Price holds his so acres
at s., 900. which is more than the Roe
people wish to pay for it in its un-
developed condition.
1t is probable that the deal may
be close while Mr.. Roe is here with
the view to making extensive develop
ments. If the property is developed
that will necessitate the building of
about three miles more of railroad. G.
E. White, as manager for the Cumber-
land Lumber Company, Bas been turn
ing out many thousand feet of lumber
from the property for the past few
years, and it is due to him that the
coal interest was brought to the front.
He has been very much enthused over
the outlook for the development of
splendid coal property and has made
several trips to the east to interest his
people. The coming of MIR. Roe is an
indication something of marked i'm
portance is liable to result. Should
that prove to be the case the county
will be greatly benefited bv the persis-
tency and determination with which
Mr.. White has hung on to an enter
prise when business conditions we're
far from being so favorable as at pres
emit. -Crossville Chronicle.

High Grade Cattle
For Large Areas
Government Looking fol-
Buyers of Breeding Stock
Forced by Dry Season
From Texas Ranges

Have you enough cattle to make use
of all the cheap forage that is being
produced on your farm this year,
Are you planning to take care of
your corn stover and straw stacks as
you have never done before? If not,
why not?
There is a scarcity of beef and pric-
es are high and likely to be higher.
If you do notmake use of all of your
cheap feeds this year, the reason will
most likely be because you haven
enough cattle.
Did you know that on account Of a
very serious drought in Texas and the
Southw est, there is going to be a
heavy movement of high grade beef
heifers and cows from out of that
country to the slaughter pens, if they
cannot be saved for breeding purpos-
es. They are going at beef prices;
yet for beef production purposes they
are quite as valuable as purebreds.
They have been graded up for the past
fifteen years with registered Hereford
and Shorthorn bulls until they are
practically purebreds.
Yearlings. weighing from 500 to 800
pounds, in fair to good condition,
will cost from $40, to $50. Two
year olds, weighing from 700 to 1000
pounds, in fair to good condition,
will cost from $50 to $50. Cows not
over six years old, weighing from 700
to about 1000 pounds, in fair to good
condition. will cost from $50 to 800
The freight cost will be about $40 per
head in car lots.
There is no other expense in connec-
tion with buying, as the United
States Department of Agriculture will
have a number of men in the Texas
field to inspect and select cattle to fill
any orders that may be sent in.
These cattle will come from tick free
areas, or will be dipped under Gov
eminent supervision before being
shipped.
1t is not advisable to buy these cat
tie in small lots to be kept on re-
stricted areas, for they are not used
to confinement, but if you could han
die a carload or more and would like
to know more about the proposition,
write to the Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Also report the names of any owners
of large tracts of grazing land in your
county who might be interested.

Within few days, the authorities
will begin to mobilize part of the
young men. who have been recently
drafted from our county for military
service, and those who have boys in
cluded in this draft, as rule, are very
much grieved to see their boys leave
home, and go away to participate in
this fearful struggle, knowing that
some Of them will not come back.
feel that those who have means,
and whose boys are not thus called
should be glad to contribute something
that might be of comfort to the parents
of the young men, who are soon to leave
for military service,
Feeling this way about it, think it
extremely appropriate that a fund be
raised to defray the expense of pub

county, during the war, under the head
of Honor Roll" the names of every
young man who goes to the army from

that in event any of them do not come
back, a photograph can be furnished to
the parents. will contribute IS or $40
to such a fund myself, or as much as
anyone else in the county will give.
Someone may suggest that, as rule,
the parents of these boys are able to
have these thing done. In answer to
that, | will say that usually, the people
who are so unfortunate as to have mem
bers OF their families die, could buy
flowers for their graves; but at the
same time, we all appreciate the dispos-
ition on the part of our neighbors to
manifest their friendship by doing such
things for US.
If someone who is interested in a
matter of this kind, will take hold of
this movement, he may draw on me for
such an amount as he may think prop
err therefor.
