A bulletin has recently been ISSUED
by the Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton, Knoxville, that is one of the most
valuable ever sent out by that splendid
institution.
1t is called, How to Feed Live
Stock Successfully. No farmer in
the state should be wlthou. 1T. 1t con-
tains facts set out IN such plain terms
that any person can understand them.
Those facts are worth many dollars to
our farmers, If they will only apply
them The bulletin Will be sent tree
to any Tennessee farmer calling Tor
it. Do not delay day sending for
this bulletin and then read it carefully
and use the advice there given. 1t
will help you to keep your stock better

NOT NOBLE ANIMAL
Man Not Such Finished Product
as Imagined, Says Savant.
Human Body Has Points OF Decided
inferierity 70 Desplsed Mammals,
II 10 Asserted.

Investigation q proving. declares
DR.. F. Wood Jones. professor Of anat
omy at the university Of London. In his
new book, "Arboreal Man." that thehG
man body Is no such finished product
of evolution as we have fOndly imag.
ined. 1t has points of decided inferiors
ity to the physical frames of mammaM
upon which We look with disdain as
less finely formed than ourselves.
Some Of the lower animals are more
capable Of exquisite adaptations than
are we ourselves. Their bodies are
more splendid instruments than ours
are, more complex, Indicative of d
higher stage of evolution on the physil
cal plane. The upright attitude of man
has been employed as an argument in
favor Of his superiority to the four
footed beast physiologically. although
the evidence makes such an argument
ridiculous. 1t would tend the other
don Lancet.
If we compare mans body with the
body of So-called Clover organisms"
we are astonished to find that his
points Of resemblance are with the
lowest in the scale of conscious being.
Man is oddly unlike the noble beasts Of
the jungle; but he is amazingly like
the creatures Of primitive type that
infest the bog, the pond and the
swamp. His relatives are not the lords
of the forest, not the kings Of the
jungle, nor the mighty eagle. but the
creatures Of the slime.
How Is 1t that the various elements
Of the remote ancestral limb have beeu
preserved in human limbs? Professor,
Jones' answer Is that the primates
broke away from the early land living
mammalian stock while the primitive
bones and muscles were still preserved
in that stock. These primitive ele-
ments proved useful and were pre-
served in that particular form which
adopted an arbOreal life and used the
hand and foot to grasp with. The prim.
tive plan on which the hands Of man
are built can be accounted for only by
supposing that mans ancestry spent d
long pilgrimage in the trees. 1t was
during mans arboreal phase of exist.
ence that the vast majority Of those
anatomical characters which we re-
gard as adaptations to mans upright
posture were evolved. These anatOmi-
cal traits indicate how low we are

POTATO MARKET.

Some farmers of this county have
voiced the fear that owing to the large
crop of potatoes now In the making,
that "spuds' will be very cheap this

quite a shock, when they come to dis
pose of their crop.
This view would seem to be not we'll

Those best informed as to tie Iood

thing as over production Is out Ct ahe

To Avoid a Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low II you would
avoid a double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make a fold
Of flesh under the chin, and cause the
muscles to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold water and
"a few drops Of benzOin.
A double chin often results from the
habit of bending the chin forward and
down to read or study. or 1t may come
from being near-sighted. If from habit,
learn to raise the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon 1t
without bending the head forward,
This will also prevent any strain upon
the eyes.

DON'T GET HISTORICAL.

The cry has been going up so persls-
tently for some weeks that the gaunt
spectre of hunger and famine is Just
around the corner," unless we speed
up to the highest tension the food pro-
ductive resources OF the country, that
a feeling close to hysteria has come
over the people and business IS begin
ming to suffer as result.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the farmers and food growers of this
nation will rise to the needs of the oc.
casIon and furnish all the food needed
against the coming harvest.
1t Is all very well to urge food pro-
uction, but the thing is being over
done and we are at this time defeating
the very thing we are aiming at by
arousing unnecessary and deep-seated
alarm as to the need of food for the
coming year and to the close of the
war.
This unnecessary fear is causing peo-
pie to pinch their dollars, is slowing
down investment and the improvements
that are always necessary to keep the
country at a high state of production.
That relaxation, which means boarding
money instead of using it IN productive
channels, IS sure to defeat the very
ends the nation is seeking.
We shall need immense quantities of
food. There is now in course of max
ing the largest crop ever known by
fully twenty five or fifty per cent. No
one doubts that prices will be such as
to bring splendid profits to those who
grow food, but to carry the famine"
cry to the extreme point it is now De-
ing forced, tends to cause the boarding
of money instead of the spending of 1t
for productive purposes-that IS, to a
large degree-and that counteracts
what we are all laboring for.
Rather than to send up so much of a
cry OF "famlne" let's assure the
farmer that there will be an ample
market for what he does not need for
his own family and that 1t Will be the
part of the government to prevent food
congestion and waste and that every
effort will be made for food dlstrlbu-
ton to the end that good prices may
prevail everywhere and want nowhere.
Let 5 get over this famine hys-
terra and come down to the solid bust
ness basis of plenty Of food and good
profits. " Then money boarding will
cease and the end at which we aim
Will surely be reached.

trouble will be to supply the demand.
So don't worry about not finding a
market for your potatoes, but do your
utmost to produce the largest possible
crop and in the possible event the price
should not be quite SO high as you ex-
pect, you will win out IN good shape
just the same.
In brief: Grow all the food of all
kinds that you can: the market is
ready and waiting.
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-05-02

With hlgh-pricsd seed potatoes and
extra expense for fertilizer to produce
the largest possible crop this year,
farmers should not fail to make Wig
orous fight against bugs and possible
attacks of blight.
BY using arsenate of lead the bugs
can be easily killed on quite an acreage
and if Bordeaux mixture IS used at the
same time you can be sure of escaping
blight also. That will mean a maxi
mum crop.
If you have much OF an acreage
even one or two acres--it will pay well
to buy some kind of spray pump for
putting on the bug killer.
The use OF paris green is no longer
urged for potato bugs because it is SO
uncertain in strength. If too weak
the bugs will not be killed and if too
strong 1t will burn and lnjure the
vines. Arsenate of lead Will not IN
jure the vines The powdered arsenale

spray pump Of any kind call at the

In this issue appears an extensive
article relative to the proposed Consti-
tutional Convention. You owe it to
yourself to become posted on this ques-
tion that you may be able to vote In
tellIgently in the coming election, July
%.
This question was voted upon year
ago and lost by less than $500 votes,
but the legislature felt it was of such
urgent Importance that they voted al
most to man to re-submit the matter
to the people this year.
Last year we knew of one precinct
in this county where the only man who
professed to be informed on the SUBJ
ject at all was one who coud neither
read nor write, and he advised them
very strongly to vote against the pro-
posed convention and they did so by a
large majority.
Certainly you do not wish to be led
IN so important a matter as this by a
man who cannot read. He MIGHT be
right, but the chances are very much
against it, for we are all very much
more liable to 20 wrong upon any Sub
ject. that we know nothing about than
when we are reasonably well inform ed.
Post yourself; learn what there is IN
the subject and then vote as your con-
science and sense of justice directs.
But do not 60 to the polls and have to
say to your nelghbors: II know moth
ing about this question, and then be
led by a man who cannot read. Your
common sense and pride REBELS against
such course.
Inform yourself. do your own think
ing and do your voting without asking
the advice of man who cannot read.

FINAL REPORT ON
CITY SCHOOLS BY
SUPERINTENDENT
GROWTH OF SYSTEM INDICATED
AND BRIGHT FUTURE
PREDICTED

Superintendent Charles Henry in
his final report on the conditions of
the Moscow city schools, submitted to
the board of education at its meeting
Monday evening, shows total enrol
Iment for the year of 1888. OF these 334
we're enrolled at the high school and
the others in the grades. Of the to-
tai enrolment 5S1 were boys and 617
girls. The total average daily attend
ance was 977.8. The number neither
absent nor tardy during the year was
"a of whom A wer boys and so girls.
In the manual training department
s558.S1 was spent during the year and
of this amount $l69.45 was collected
from students in payment for material
used in making articles for themselves.
Mr.. Wiley, head of the department,
recommends that $3.50 be set aside for
running expenses for this department
next year and $3.50 for new equip
ment.
In the home economics department
s2S841 was expended. The average
attendance in this department was 165
making the average cost 1914 cents.
In the science department $685.
was expended and of this total $19.55
was paid back for breakages by the
pupils.
The report of Superintendent Henry
includes report from Miss Martha
A. Kendrick, head of the music de-
partment telling of the musical EN-
tertainments given during the year
and what was done with the cash pro-
ceds-purchase of Victrola, records
and music making a good showing for
the year.
The retiring superintendent in sum-
ming up says the last two years have
seen a reasonably good growth in the
schools. He tells of the improvements
made in the buildings and of the ey
tension of the work. He credits much
of the good work done and the pro-
eress made to the unselfish efforts of
principals and teachers. In closing
Superintendent Henry says:
"Jn laying down the work of SUI
nervision of the Moscow schools al
low me to express my sincere apDre-
citation of the efforts of the school
board in behalf of the schools. | am
sure that your schools will continue to
the years pass by and that each sue
ceeding year will see growth along
alI lines of educational effort in your
community"
