I am proud of my boy, Robison, Jr.," said Robison Brown of Tuscaloosa. Tn spite of the fact that he is only B years old he entered the contest for the Lizzie Crenshaw medal given by the Alabama United Daughters of the Confederacy for the best essay on the battle of Get tysburg written by any boy in the state under the age of 19.
 Although there were 75 entrants he won the beautiful gold watch. I was really surprised at the amount of read ing he put into the subject. think the prize is a great thing to stir an interest in the Confectionery among our southern boys"

.DRAF 7 QUOTA IN
KNOX CO. IS 1853,
FIGURES REVEAL
Government Adopts A Plan
OF Estimating
Populations
REGISTRATION is 9.32
PERCENT OF PEOPLE
Claims For Exemption Need
Not Be Made By
Individual

On the basis of the latest informa-
tion from Washington, the quota of
Knox county for the selective con.
scription army, which will shortly be
drawn at the national capital, is 1913
men.
Announcement was made Wednes-
day in Washington that, instead of u.s.
ing the last federal census as a basis
for computing the quotas of the var
ious counties, a so-called revised cen.
sus estimate will be utilized. These
figures are merely improvised and are
based on the registrations of June ;.
1t is computed that 9,G59.3S2 young
men registered the fifth day of June
This number constitutes 1920 of the
total estimated population of the
country. Taking this as basis, Knox
county, with its total registration of
2,147, would have a theoretical popu-
lation of 23,O3G people.
Each city, county or state must fur
nish two-thirds of 10 of its paper"
population and this, applied to 23,O3G,
would show a draft quota of 153 men,
Latest advices are that the drawing
of men for the draft army will be post
pcned until next week. Only 21 states
of the Union have reported their or
ganization complete, although the
work has been practically completed.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
issued an official statement at Wash
ington Wednesday in which it was
explained that exemption claims of
any man need not necessarily be made
by him, but may be entered by his
wife, other dependent or any third
person. General Crowder also stated
that a man absent from home need not
return for a physical examination, if
drafted, but may take this elsewhere.

WHEAT CUTTING
IS HELD Up BY
HEAVY RAINFALL
Binders Would Mire In Fields
Under The Present
Condition

The wet weather experienced in
Knox county during the last few days
is causing the farmers considerable
worry, owing to the fact that it has
rendered the cutting of wheat impos.
sible in nearly every part of the coun-
ty. The heavy rains have soaked the
ground until taking a heavy binder
into the fields is unthinkable as it's
weight would force it down into the
mud and its operation would be impos-
sible.
In addition to this, the rain has beat
en- the wheat down in some sections,
being aided in this by the severe wind
which has accompanied some of the
storms.
A few days of dry, hot weather
would send small army of farmers
into Knox county wheatfields. The
wheat crop in this county is reported
to be excellent, the heads being said
to be larger than usual and well filed
with grain.
In addition to holding up wheat
cutting, the rains have also operated
to give weeds good start in the corn
fields, but this difficulty will be elmi-
mated as soon as the ground has
dried sufficiently for the corn-plows to
begin operation. Other crops and
"war gardens" have had plenty of
moisture for the time being at least
and local citizens boasting a bed of
beans or a plot of spinach in their
back-yards may be seen casting a
weather eye" toward the clouds from
time to time as they go about their
business.

Are You One of Them?

There are great many people who
would be very much benefited by TAX
ing Chamberlain Tablets for q weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. r. ioearl, Baldwins-
vile, N. Y, relates her experience in
the use of these tablets: 81 had bad
spell with my stomach about six
months ago, and was troubled for two
or three weeks with gas and severe
pains in the pit of my stomach. Our
druggist advised me to take Chamber
lain's Tablets. l took bottle home
and the first dose relieved me Won
derfully, and kept on taking them
until / was cured" These tablets do
not relieve pain, but after the pain
has been relieved may prevent its re-
currence.

Pierced By Iron Rod

Dwight Gilmore. an employe of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. at the local
shops, was seriously injured early

perform the operation which was done
at the office of the physician. Gilmore
was then taken to his home on East
Vine street. His condition is said tC
be critical and it may be necessary tc
remove him to the hospital.

Important Decision Is Hand
ed Down By Blair In In
junction Suit
DISPUTE OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT SETTLED
Product Of Sunny Italy
Would Become American
Citizen

In a lengthy opinion handed down
by Judge Blair in the common pleas
court Wednesday in the matter of
Elizabeth Mckinley against Thomas
K. Simmons, Jr., in which the plaintiff
sought to restrain the defendant from
entering upon her farm to harvest
crop of wheat planted by Simmons
while tenant upon Mrs. McGinley's
farm, it is held that neither the plain
tiff nor the defendant has sole right to
the crop, but that the defendant may
enter and harvest the crop and have
it threshed and that the wheat is then
to be divided equally between the two
claimants after Simmons has deducted
the same amount of wheat as he had
planted, or else have been paid the val
ne of that amount.
This decision of the court is said to
be an important enc so far as the law
governing the division of crops matur-
ing on a rented farm after the tenant
planting them has moved to another
lOtdllOl' Inc utltHuuuJ lnG
entire wheat crop, saying that he had
paid cash rent for the farm and had
expected to have the privilege of re-
naming on the farm for two more
years when he planted the wheat, for
which he furnished the seed and labor
The court held that the defendant
could not claim the entire crop owing
to the fact that it matured after he
had relinquished possession of the
farm and if so allowed he would not
only have had the use of the entire
farm during the period called for in
the lease but the use of the wheatfield
until the crop matured after the expir-
alton of his lease as result of which
the plaintiff would be deprived of the
use of this field for an entire year af-
ter the departure of her tenant, as the
field would be useless for cultivation
during the remainder of this year.

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE

When you buy ammonia water, or
ammonia" as it is commonly called
buy the real article. A pint of our
water has more washing
and cleansing strength than five pints
of the common stuff sold as house
hold ammonia, and this common kind
is often only a solution of sal soda in
water, with little ammonia water
added to give it the ammonia odor.
Why cheat yourself with your
eyes open and your mind work
ing? Our ammonia water costs
10 cents pint. If you prefer the
sal soda, we will sell it to you
for 10 cents pound, and pound
will make a gallon of the stuff
you generally buy as household
ammonia

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by

kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.

ache and frequent urination, as well as

full how quickly Anuric acts the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
