WORK ON JETTYS
TO COMMENCE SOON

At a joint meeting of the Port
Commissions of the Ports of To-
ledo and Newport, held here last
Friday evening, 1t was finally de-
cided that the local ports go
ahead with the Improvement of
the South Jetty under the per-
NIT recently received from
Washington.
The above action was taken as
result of the sentiment express
sed by the citizens of Newport
at a mass meeting held at that
place last Wednesday, and an
other meeting held at Toledo
Friday evening, although the
latter meeting was not very
much advertised and the attend
ance was small.
The action of the Port Com
missions means the spending of
the $40S,000, estimated by the
government engineers to cover
one half the cost Of the bar i'm
provement. An effort Is being
made to secure the services OF
Engineer Claude Wright to sup
erintend the construction. II is
thought probable that II will be
possible to secure government
machinery and scows to pro-
ceed with the work, thus saving
greatly In the expense.
1t Is expected that the govern
ment will make an appropriation
OF like sum to be spent on this
project later, though. under the
permit, they, in no way bind
themselves to do so.

$3.50 PER DAY

Black berries to the extent Of
two hundred and fifty dollars
per day have been shipped from
Toledo every day the past week,
and Harry White who is in
charge of the berry industry
here, expects to ship that many
more every day for the next two
weeks, and would ship more but
for the scarcity of pickers. Fol
years and years thousands of
dollars worth of thes berries
have rotted on the vines in this
county, all for a lack of market.
The war has supplied this MAJ,
, ket and there is demand this
year for more berries than Cal,
be harvested. Mr.. White in
formed a Leader reporter that
there would be no lack of mar
ket in the future but that they
would be here after the berries
every year, and probably would
establish a branch cannery here
to look after the vegetables as
well as the berries. Lincoln
county produces the incest and
most tender vegetables in the
world.

TENNESSEE REGISTRATION
WAS UP 10 THE ESTIMATE

A special FROM Nashville, under
date Of June 8, to the Commercial APP
peal says:
''The total registration in Tennessee
is 1851. The census estimate of
population of military age was 1885,
479, or 1858 more than the total reg
istration. In this population of MILF
tary age are 1000 men enlisted in the
National guard, regular army, navy
and marine corps and 1000 conviets
in the state prison who are not sub
jeet to military registration. There
fore, this 5000 added to the registra-
ton of $4,000 makes the 10000 es-
timated by the federal census that
Tennessee should have. Therefore,
the registration in Tennessee was 100
per cent.
"Alien enemies in Tennessee num-
Der IS by the revised returns, and
they are residents Of seventeen cOun-
ties and three cities. Memphis, with
IA, leads all cities or counties. Alien
enemies are residents in Blount, Brad
ley, Campbell, Claiborne, Cooke, Haw-
kins, Lauderdale, Lincoln, Montgom-
cry, Robertson, Shelby Sullivan and
Unicoi counties and the cities Of
Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga.
The next step will be the appoint
ment of exemption boards by the
president for each county and appeal
boards for each federal judicial dis
trict in the country"

VELVET BEANS

Many years ago the progressive
farmers endeavored to find a plant
that would assist in restoring the
former fertility to the land without
the aid of commercial fertilizer.
They were so interested themselves
in the subject that it attracted the at
tention of others to accomplish the
aim desired and after many trials and
experiments they at last found a plant
which has come nearer accomplishing
the purpose than any other, this is
the velvet bean. Some authorities state
that it is native of Asia while others
claim it was brought from the Philip
pines, however, with small beginn-
ing the beans were so satisfactory
that thousands of acres have been
planted this year in Alabama and
other states.
The usual method is to plant the
beans about ten days after the corn is
planted and in each alternate row of
corn. At first the average farmer af-
ter gathering his corn turned cattle
and hogs in the field to gather the
beans and scattering grains and nub-
bins of corn, it was noticed that both
the cattle and hogs relished the beans
and consequently grew fat on same.
The beans had extracted the nitrogen
from the air, increased the corn yield
per acre and produced in addition
thereto most excellent cattle and hog
feed in themselves.
When the price Of food stuffs began
to advance it was a question with
many to secure a good feed at low
cost and one of the progressive millers
in Southern Alabama, in which sec
tion cotton had reigned king but de-
throned by the boil weevil, had the
beans ground in the pod analysed and
showed that the combined protein and
fat amounted to twenty-five per cent.
Comparing the cost of the beans with
that Of feed stuffs on an analysis basis
it was ascertained that the beans
ground into meal was by far the
cheaper and ran higher in feed value.
Seeing the possibilities Of the beans
they erected mill to grind them and
now the product is being shipped by
many mills to points throughout the
Southeast and giving satisfaction
wherever sold by reason Of its high
food value and low price, resulting in
many thousands of dollars going into
the hands of the farmers for beans,
besides increasing the yield of corn.

LIBERTY LOAN PRICE OF PEACE
Let Us Pay This Price to Ourselves
Now or Later Pay 1t to Germany.

We are in this war and we can't
get out of it without getting beaten
badly or winning conclusively. 1t is
finish fight.
When nation goes into a finish
fight with the tremendously powerful
Central European powers it means to
win or, losing, to pay the war debts Of
a victorious Germany.
A nice mess we will be in should
the submarine starve out England,
should Russia conclude a separate
peace and release three million vet
Grams from the Eastern front, and
should France, thus exposed, utterly
collapse. The Central powers would
then release France and England and
our crushed trade only on condition
that the United States raise huge
levies as war indemnities to pay Ger
many's debts.
1t doesn't matter how this situation
came about. The thing to do is to
prevent terrible mis-adventure from
overtaking us. Americans want
peace. We can have peace now only
in one of two ways, by victory or
by defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as the
price Of peace. We will pay these
sums to ourselves in the form of ma
tional loans, or we will pay them to
the Central powers in the form Of war
levies in case our allies are defeated
and our trade is posted for redemp
tion only on Germany's terms.
WhoY1 wa or NJ ont RI tfyaYa xxytth 4ba
ruthless militarism of Germany, we
had better not start out empty-handed.
Every man, woman and child in the
United Sattes has a formidable enc
my confronting him or her, ruthless
enemy whose path we have crossed, a
trained efficient, experienced, desper-
ate and vastly powerful enemy. 1t is
going to take every dollar we can
spare to defeat this dragon.
The American who desires to lie
down after having invited Germany to
crush him will best do SO by avoiding
his obligation to subscribe to the Lib
erty loan.
In this way he can see to it that our
soldiers shall lack food, clothing,
equipment and ammunition to just
that degree. In this way he can en-
sure the stagnation Of domestic indus
try and his own loss. In this way he
can undermine the prestige of the
United States and of government by
democracy for which this nation
stands.
What American wishes himself thus
labeled? None. It is the solemn
duty of every man to invest $50 or
500 or $500 in a Liberty Loan bond,
an interest bearing gold bond, read
lily convertible bond, a first mortgage
on the United States, and to pay for
it out of his additional savings.

ADVERTISING FOR FARMERS

The cooperative creamery located
at the University of Tennessee farm
has been fighting for the profits
which justly belong to the dairy
farmer. One point in evidence Of this
fact is the new butter cartons which
have just been developed and in which
the output Of the creamery viii be
regularly packed for family consump-
ton.
On these cartons are some facts
about butter which will interest con-
sumers and give dairymen a pride in
the product from their farms.
"This pound Of butter is worth" say
the cardboard cartons,
"S% times as much as / doz. eggs,
ia times as much as / 10. canned
green peas,
"12 times as much as / ID. broilers,
al times as much as / ID. fish,
an times as much as / ID. dressed
fowl,
"3A times as much as / ID. porter
house, as energy producing food. But
ter is SO per cent. digestible. No other
fat can take the place Of butter as
food"
