Among the most noted events Of
the season was the charming hospital
ity of Mrs. D. L. Davis last Wednes-
day, April is, 1917. The doors Of

grandchildren and friends in honor of
her 74th anniversary
There were seven children, 25 grand
children, six great-grandchildTen, her
only sister, Mrs. Thomas Crowder, and
number Of friends present. AS the
noon hour approached the doors of the
diningroom were opened, disclosing a
table laden with tempting dishes, Of
which no one could disapproye.
A number of pictures were made in
the afternoon, the most interesting be-
ing a group OF all who were present,
Mrs. Davis and her only sister, Mrs.
Crowder, and last, but not least, Mrs.
Davis with her six great-grandchild-
rem. OF whom she Is extremely proud.
Among the relatives from a dis

EARLY May is the best date. The two
crops are cultivated alike, until the

Only the early varieties, such as
Early Speckled, 0sceola and Yoke
homa, should be tried, When planted
early and with a favorable season
the G varieties may be expected to
mature some seed in Tennessee.
None of these varieties is suitable
for hay because they grow into tan
gled mass which is very diffieule to
NOW and cure. Aside from green
manure purposes, they are only fit FOR
pasturage by hogs or cattle, corn
and beans may be gathered BY nogs.
When the corn natures the beans will
still be green. The usual method is
to gather the corn and turn stock into
the field in the fall. The cattle will
eat not only the dry pods and seed, but
also the dry leaves which have fallen
to the ground. The seed must be
gathered by hand j. @. McAmis,

VELVET BEANS

Safety first should be our velvet
bean policy. The crop IS new to Ten
nessee farmers, especially the early
varieties The late varieties are not
1T aIl satisfactory. The early ones
are very different, and may find a
place Oh our Southern border farms
because the seed is cheap (as com
pared with soy beans and COW peas,
and tie amounts Of stock feed and
plant food are large. The states south

longer growing season and the re-
narkable records that are reported
there can hardly be duplicated here.
TRY small area this year, and use
soy beans for your main summer le-
pune crop.
Because Of its vigorous habit Of
growth the velvet bean is especially
suitable for green manuring worn
soils. While it yields highest on fer
tile soils, it has made some wonderful

VALUABLE AID TO
ARMY IN BURROWS

In line with the suggestion of Presi-
dent Wilson and the u. S. Department
Of Agriculture, the IL demonstration
farms Of the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis railway, representing
1853 acres, will be turned over to the
cultivation of food crops during the
war, the company having announced
that its plans for the working out Of
a system of crop rotation had been
abandoned for the present and that it
would devote its efforts toward in
creasing the production Of crops for
the feeding Of man and beast.
In this work the road will work
along the lines suggested by the fed
eral and state agricultural depart
ments, and Mr.. Joseph III, Judd, in
charge of the farming interests Of the
company, says that instead of the sys-
tenn of crop rotation planned at the
various farms they would be devoted
to the raising of food crops strictly.
He said that every farm foreman and
laborer would be furnished the ground
and given the implements and time to
pun III $dIuSH lUI blc u6GuS Vi his
family, and that all plans the company
had made for soil fertility, crop rota-
tion, etc, would be abandoned until
the close of the war. Corn, COW peas,
soy beans and other food crops would
be put in and this, it is believed, will
greatly augment the production Of
food crops in the territory.
The company operates demonstra-
tion farms at Tullahoma, Decherd,
Martin, Paris, Somerville, st. An
drew's, Smartt's, Spencer, Clifty, MUIR
fFeesboro, Dickson and Albertsville,
Ala.
For several years the road has been
with the federal and
state agricultural authorities in an eff
fort to build up the agricultural and
live stock resources of its territory,
and this move is in line with the
other efforts which are being expend-
ed to meet an emergency and to ''do
its Bit in the present crisis when food
crops are absolutely essential to meet
present day conditions

WOMEN AND GARDENING

Without going beyond their own
dooryards, millions Of American wo-
men and children can render service
to the nation this summer as real as
that rendered by the soldier on the
field Of battle. They each can do this
by merely planting and caring for a
home garden.
Radishes, onions, lettuce, beets,
beans, peas, tomatoes, lima beans,
spinach, and numerous other easily
cultivated vegetables, can be raised in
the back yard, provided the soil is
fertile and intelligence is employed in
the process. There is no reason in the
world why literally millions Of new
backyard gardens should not be plant
ed this spring, as soon as the ground
is warm enough, and supply millions
of families with good, cheap, nutri-
tious foods all this summer, war 81

OF INTEREST TO THE
USERS OF DRY GOODS

The Coyington Supply Co. has re-
ceived the following from one of the
big New York firms:
''We desire at this time to call your
attention to the general market condi-
tons in dry goods as we see them in
New York.
During the past week or more the
United States government has made
very large purchases and many in
quiries are now in the market for vast
quantities Of cotton materials required
for the equipment of an army of one
million or more men. In order to Sc
cure all of its requirements the gov
eminent may commander the produc-
ton of some of the largest mills in
the country. Their present purchases,
however, are being placed with mills
with as minimum disarrangement Of
civil contracts as is possible
"The enormous demand from the
government on top of an export de-
mand which has severely taxed the
producing capacity Of the country for
the past two years is now rejecting
itself in sharply advanced prices on
all cotton goods and in many instances
millG have withdrawn their entire
productions from sale Other mills
have sold their productions well into
1918.
The raising Of an army Of one mil
lion on mere men withdrawn from the
active producing centers Of the United
States viii further increase the costs
and difficulties of production and much
higher prices than have so far pre-
vailed are foregone conclusion.
Some distributors have instructed
their statesmen not to accept any fur
Their orders for future deliveries.
'Our present prices on desirable
merchandise can not be maintained be-
yond the extent of the present stock
which represents purchases made
many months ago We viii accept or
ders to the extent of this stock for inn
mediate shipment at prices which are
far below the present cost Of produc-
ton. All orders for future deliveries
viii be accepted only to the extent of
our old purchases and advances in all
lines must then be secured as prices
will have to be based on present costs.
We strongly urge and recommend that
you cover your entire requirements
Immediately, If you desire to see our
salesman wire US at our expense"
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-04-26
FOOD SUPPLY IMPERATIVE

The Importance to the nation Of a
generously adequate food supply for
the coming year can not be over-em-
phasized in view of the economic prob
lens which may arise as result Of
the entrance of the United States into
the war. Every effort should be made
to produce more crops than are needed
for our own requirements. Many mil
lions of people across the seas, as well
as our own people, must rely in large
part upon the products of our fields
and ranges. This situation will con
tinue to exist even though hostilities
should end Unexpectedly soon since
European production can not be re
stored Immediately to it's normal bas-
is. Recognition of the fact that the
world at large, as we'll as our own
consumers, must rely more strongly
on American farmers this year than
ever before should encourage them to
the utmost to meet these urgent needs.

 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The con- dition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so ac- tive as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as we'll refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active This is inn portant at all ages, but never SO much as at fifty.
 Age is not time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But lash can't be used every day. What the bow els of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic One that can be con- stantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.

Proper View of Life.


 Why is 1t, I wonder, that the little boy almost always imaginea that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? Why does the dissolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, if there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world :; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize, that in the con- mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac' tice the virtues that you know. Cher. ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and In the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St Johns Bulle- tin.

Manager Joe Tinker and the Co., lumbus club of the American associa- tion arrived in Pine Bluff Sunday aft ernoon, took quarters at the Hotel Jefferson, and yesterday began their training for the 1917 playing season at Athletic park.
 Never has baseball club started its training under more suspicious cir cumstances. The grounds were wet and soggy, as a result of the thorough soaking they received last week, but the weather yesterday was we'll nigh perfect, the temperature being in the neighborhood of so, and benignant sun cast it's warming rays upon the ball players to aid them in loosening up joints and making supple their muscles.
 And the hustling, energetic, peppery manager of the Senators took full ad- vantage of the opportunity afforded him to give the boys a good start at the training stunt. The cinder track at the field was bounced upon with great glee by Tinker, who had the en- tire squad running round and round and round just a short time after the crowd reached the field. There was general loosening up of winter-bound muscles, the boys catching flies and some of them getting bit of infield practice work, but nearly all the work done was of general nature. The same sort of work will be had today and tomorrow, and it is expected by Wednesday night most of the boys will be ready to sit in the easy chairs in the lobby of the Jefferson and watch it rain-if it does rain, which most of them will be hoping by that time.
 Delighted With Park.
 Manager Tinker expressed himself as pleasantly surprised and delighted with Athletic field and it's accessories. He had expected nice playing field, but the excellent condition of the grounds was matter of comment with him, and the hot bath arrange ments, with dressing rooms. lockers and other such apparatus. came in for high praise. He compared the facili- ties here with what the club has had at other training points in the past. all in manner most favorable and complimentary to Pine Bluff.
 The players themselves expressed their delight at the most satisfactory arrangement, and the way things progressed yesterday was considered a most favorable omen, for generally satisfactory training camp period here for the Senators.
 Some Distinguished Guests.
 With the club are four sporting writers, representing as many Co., lumbus daily papers. Every Colum- bus daily has sporting writer with the club this year, distinct innova- tion, as heretofore only one or two baseball editors have accompanied the club. Also. it was pointed out. this is the first time the club has come sc far South for its training.
