would surprise the average person to
learn that every man or woman ar
rested has to have their names writ
ten about one dozen times, and this
especially when things pick up, causes
one to remain awake at least When
a prisoner reaches the station, his
name is taken before being locked up.
If he wants bond, his name is enter
ed on the usual blank. Then his
name goes on what is known as the
patrol book, a record Of all patrol
calls. His name appears twice on the
warrant and once on the affidavit. It
then goes to the desk sergeant's blot
ter, then to the warrant book, then
on several witness subpoenaes, then
in the clerks book, then on the court
docket, then on the captains report
sheet, then on the days cash or work
out report. This proceeding may be
varied just a little, but it is safe bet
that if you are arrested, the man who
receives at the station will probably
have to jot down the name not less
than a dozen times, and probably
more, depending upon the number of
witnesses wanted in the case made. 1t

his profession under this distinguish

Uncle Bill D'Alemberte entering and

DYERsBURG
A Vivid Account OF the Destruc.
tive Storm

Independent: This has been the
coldest spring | ever saw. Crops are
small; some few beginning to chop
cotton after waiting several days to
get stand.
A few minutes before A o'clock last
Sunday afternoon, tornado swept
down upon South Dyersburg, killing
about eight and injuring about forty
others. Twenty houses were de-
stroyed and timber to the value of
one hundred thousand dollars was
ruined. The tornado came into &C.
tion in the Redwood district, 9 miles
west of Dyersburg. where the eigh-
teen months old child of Robert Lutch-
field was killed. 1t came up the
Forked Deer river, tearing down tim
Der in its path until it reached the
Parr woods section of South Dyers-
burg, laying waste every stick of tim
Der and every home. Here the de-
struction was complete, the fury of
the storm breaking upon the resi-
dents of that neighborhood in all its
| [frightful fury. Words cannot de-
scribe the terrible wreckage result
ing from the visit of the storm. The
Baptist church, built about 6 months
ago, was blown away, some of the
planks going half mile. Nothing
was left except the foundation and a
part of it blown in.
The horse trading camp of Joshua
Harrison, which was on the Fowlkes
road. was wrecked. One horse was
killed and 5 horses were 80 badly
hurt that it was necessary to shoot
them. One horse was carried by the
tornado distance of 800 yards and
let down unhurt. Wagons were
twisted out of all shape. one wagon
being whipped and beaten against the
ground until it was in splinters. A
buggy was blown into a tree 100
yards from the camp. One store was
blown across the Illinois Central
tracks fully one half mile, and one
stove in the opposite direction some
400 yards. The people, about eight
in number, sought refuge in a nearby
field, but were injured. Harrison's

The commission headed by Ex-
Senator Root has arrived in Rus
sia, and while it takes almost a
week to go from the port where
they landed to Petrograd, yet
their presence on Russian soil
will have it's immediate effect.
1t is expected that the plans of
President Wilson, as presented
to the commission on their ar
rival, will, when promulgated,
have a strong influence in
opening the eyes of the socialists
and all other discordant elements,
to the fact that this government
will not accommodate them with
money and ammunition, unless
they unite to fight with this gov
ernment against the German. ene-
my. A united and active army
by Russia will be far reaching in
aiding the entente forces in
breaking the southern lines,
which means the collapse of the
Hindenburg forces.

Back of this camp were the houses
OF Dan Morresey, ]. w. Robinson and
Claud Blalock. These houses were
stripped to the ground, not a founda-

son house, when the tornado struck.
Mr.. Morresey and little niece were
killed and a second niece sustained a
broken collar bone. The others were
also injured, but not seriously.
A little deserted store building near

not shingle is left to mark its for
mer habitation.
Further down the road was the
house Of Sherman Moore; his house
and barn were completely wrecked.
Mr.. Moore's two nephews, Ambros

cuts and bruises. Shearman moved

Near Shearman's home was the

Make Farming More Profitable

On certain group of farms it was
found that % per cent of the farm
labor was spent in the upkeep or
maintenance labor. From this sort
of labor there can be no cash return,
yet it is necessary that certain
amount of such labor be performed.
The proportion of maintenance labor
is considerably less on well equipped
livestock farms where diversified
farming is followed than it is on farms
that specialize in cotton or grain.
The reason for this is that where
livestock is cared for good part of
the farm labor is employed in winter
on enterprises that return cash for
the work performed. 1t is difficult
in the winter on cotton or grain
farm to find proft-bearing employ
ment for the labor which is necessary
during the summer.
If one looks ahead to the summer
work, however, he can find numerous
places in which he can prepare for
such seasons and save the time of
men and teams when labor is really
valuable. With careful planning one
can estimate a year in advance ap-
proximately the amount of labor that
will have to be provided.
Likewise, if we have not already
done so, we should now be planning
and getting ready for harvest time.
