PATRIOTIC TENNESSEE

The parade in honor of Co. F. and
other soldiers of the Third Tennessee
last Saturday and similar celebrations
in the counties In honor of the men
from Tennessee for the new National
Army were events of unusual civic
interest and pride, for these men will
carry with them the name and the
honor of the Volunteer State into the
great world war, and it is fitting that
their patriotic service did receive this
recognition in the ovatiOns which were
rendered them. In the wars which
this country has undertaken Tennes
see has never been backward in con-
tributing her share of men, money
and treasure to the general amount.
fhe name of this state has been as
.5ociated through her heroic sons with
Ill the famous American battlefields
and their deeds of valor, and when
the Americans go into action history
will repeat itself in the record of her
soldier sons. There is no doubt in the
mind of any one that these men, help
ing to form the new great National
Army, are going to uphold all the
glorious traditions and records of the
past, and that Tennessee will be as
conspicuous in this war as she has
oeen IN others.
There is plenty of patriotic and his
toric blood flowing in the veins of
the young men of the State today, and
when the time comes they may be
relied upon to give a good account of
themselves and make their State as
proud of them as she has been of
their fathers in the past So there is
more of ope than of fear in the big
send-off which the public gave them,
Ind it was second in enthusiasm only
% the greeting waiting for thine when
they come home victorious to march
again through our streets with
world peace as the prize they have
striven for and won.

PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES
NOW--THEY WILL BE NEEDED

During the time when the road and
saddle horse of Tennessee was receiv.
ing the finishing touches in his devel
opment, there was great change be
ing made in the agricultural field OF
the Middle West. The land owner
there were beginning to realize the
value of more horse power on ths
farm, and secured good types of draf
stations for use on their foundation
of range mares.
After getting the mares from thi,
sort of mating they saw that they had
an excellent incubator for high-priced
mules, if they used the proper kind
of jacks. 1t was then that they secured
Tennessee and Kentucky for jacks o.
such type and carried many away dur
ing the succeeding years.
From this foundation they are now
producing mules that we are buying
as weanlings and developing on our
Tennessee farms 1t is common knowl
edge that the best mule of this history
is the highest-priced mule on the mar
kets today.
Why not select draft stations OF
proper conformation and action to
mate with our. common native mares,
as did the Middle Westerners years
ago, and produce our own good animals
in numbers equal to the demand?
1t is possible that never again will
there be market equal to that of the
last two years for the plug horse. WaI
demands have been heavy, 1t is true
but may never recur
Now is the time to prepare against
overstocking the country with plug
horse stock by taking steps to have
something to meet the regular de
mands of our agricultural market

Poultry Pointers

Feed at regular hours and the fowi'
will always be ready and waiting fol
their last meal.
Put the windows In the poultry
house low down near the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit Of tbs
light and sunshine when scratching fol
their feed.
The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes
splendid winter litter in which to feed
the small grain. Have it about six
inches deep all over the hen-house
floor.
All perches In the poultry-house
should be built on level. When built
one above another, step-fashion, the.
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some of them will
become injured OF eggs will be broken
In them.
Grit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have a large pile of sand and gravel
handy, where the fowls can help
themselves.

skins on. Sprinkle lightly with salt
and shake the pan back and forth on
the hot stove. If they can not be

steam to escape and leaves them dry
and mealy.

thru d vegetable strainer, or mash
with potato masher. For or 5 me-
dium-size potatoes, add level table
spoons butter, a cup of hot milk and
little salt. Beat with a perforated
wood spoon until very light and fluffy.

a pan of hot water to keep warm, with
out the lid, as the lid keeps the steam
in and makes them soggy.

about As minutes. If soft skin is de
sired, the skins may be creased over
before they are placed in the oven. The
potatoes should be eaten as soon as

there must be a delay of minutes or
more before they are served, make two
gashes in the top Of each potato at
right angles to each other. Gently

escape.

boiling water. When done chop with g
chopper, or a clean tin can. When

POPULAR EATING PLACE
CHANGES OWNERSHIP

The Booster Cafe, owned and oper-
ated the past five years by w. j.
Hamilton, changed hands yesterday
when Mr.. Hamilton sold the business
to E. F.. Johnson and w. II. Freeman.
The new owners took possession last
night and closed the doors of the
establishment for the present The
place will be given a thorough clean
ing and after week or ten days will
reopen to the public. When the place
opens to the public there will be a
number of pronounced changes. A
new and experienced cook will have
charge of the kitchen, young lady
walters will have charge of the tables
and in every department of the bus
mess there will be a complete change.
1t is quite probable that the name
of the place will be changed but as
yet we have not been Informed as to
what step has been taken in that dir
ection.
The management of the place will
be under the direction of Mr.. Freeman
who has had a wide experience in
serving the public. and when the place
again opens to the public. Audubon
may reasonably expect first-class
eating house.
Mr. Hamilton has given Audubon
one of the best eating houses the
town ever had. but what his inten-
lions are with regard to the future
we do not know. but all trust that
he has decided to continue to remain
in Audubon.

PETITION IN COURT
HALTS The PAVING.
Attempt Being Made to Have Defend.
ants Withdraw Action in Order
to Safe Unnecessary Costs

An original notice was filed in the
| Office of the clerk of the district
| court last Saturday afternoon signed
by a member of taxpayers, which has
for its object the restraining of letting
the contract tomorrow for some
forty blocks of paving. The notice
was served on the Mayor, City Clerk
County Auditor and County Treasurer
enjoining them from assessing and
collecting any money on the paving as
included in the district set forth in
the Resolution of Necessity recently
published by tho city council.
The notice filed is preliminary to
asking for temporary injunction
and recites that a petition will be on
file on or before the 2Sth day of
April in the office of the district
clerk. The defendants whose name
appear on the original notice are
Charles Sunbcrg. B. r. CASTOR, H.
Schneider, S. S. Wilson. p. l.. Carter,
T. w. Staley. E. E. Bailey. d. l..
Thomas, VIM. Layland. Geo. LETTER,
L. N. Wickham, ID. c. Ross and w. H.
Jay. The attorneys for the defend
ants are Graham & Graham.
Since the names of the defendants
Z,
some of them have informed us that
they did not sign the notice, neither
had they given permission for their
names to be, used. Reports have it
today that all but three or four
parties have signified their intentions
of withdrawing their names.
The filing of this petition will pre-
vent the city council from letting the
contracts for the proposed paving at
a meeting of the council for that
purpose tomorrow afternoon at three
o'clock. All bidders were notified of
the action so probably no represent
tatives will be here.
At a meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening F. c. Miller was
chosen to serve as mayor, in place of
Mr.. Mantz whose office became vacat-
ed on his entering upon his service
as representative. John A. Cozine
was selected to fill the Office of coun-
Gilman at large, Killing the vacancy
caused by the promotion of Mr.. Miller
The paving matter was then dis
cussed and committee was appoint
ed composed of A. E. Beason, j. A.
Cozine and attorney S. c. Kerberg to
confer with the plaintiffs and their
attorneys with regard to the POSSIBLE
|ity of the withdrawal Of the petition.
II this Is done it will mean the saving
of several thousand dollars to the city
II it is not done the city will be COM
PEELED to republish number of Off
cial notices and other preliminary ex-
penses. The council was lead to be-
lieve that a satisfactory agreement
could be reached whei eby this ad-
ditional expense could be avoided,
but at the hour of going to precs to-
day, no definite steps had been taken.
1t is hoped that some agreement
can be reached, for as the matter now
stands nothing can be accomplished
and the taxpayers will be compelled
to pay unnecessary costs

MAY ELECTRIFY OLD
STEAM RAILROAD

There is a prospect that the section
OF the Atlantic Southern railroad ex-
tending from Atlantic to Grant may
have train service restored upon it at
some time in the not far distant
future; a motor service with gasoline
as the motive power.
Walter S. Olney of Des Moines, for
merly field agent for the Iowa Gas,
and Electric company and now an in
dependent promoter, has been in the
vicinity in the interest Of an effort he
will make to rejuvenate the line.
Mr.. Olney's idea is to buy the road
and install motor service with gaso-
line motors. He says that with motor
cars which stop at every crossing the
passenger traffic and freight business
of the road can be increased to the
extent that it will be profit maker
He has been interested in the pro-
motion of a number of interurban
lines in Iowa. notably the one between
Davenport and Clinton, and some
years ago made a survey of line
from Stansburry, Mo-, with the idea
Of getting a connection from st. Joseph
Mo-, north.
1t is figured by Mr.. Olney that it
should be possible to buy the Atlantic
from the Abeles people, i'm
prove the road bed as it should be
improved and equip it with motor
service for from 1915. 900 to 100000
Mr.. Olney is an enthusiast over the
possibility of reviving the line and is
of the opinion that the people on the
south end would give help on the
He thinks that now is
the time of all times to do it.
Mr.. Olney made trip over the
line to Grant. the most of the distance
to the place he walked over the track
in order to make a close inspection
of its physical condition. He will re-
turn when Messer Weber and
Abeles of the Abeles company, who
are coming to start the work of tear
ing up the track, arrive. Mr.. Olney
says he got quite bit of encourage
ment at Grant for a line from Grant
south and thinks he can put it over
He is not enthusiastic, however, about
the Likelihood of doing any thing with
a line from Grant North.
