From certain sources criti-
clsms of the work of the exemp
ton board in this county are to
be heard, as is the case perhaps
IN almost every county. Natur-
ally the board, being composed
of human beings, will make
mistakes, but let the perfect man
bring the first charge. 1t should
be borne in mind that these men
are serving against their will and
without pay. No man on the
board wanted the job. All of us
should be slow to criticise the
work of the board when we
know little about the rules under
which they work and the af.
fidavits and other matter which
come into their hands bearing
on certain claims for exemption.
So far as we have been able to
learn no married man with
children has been refused ex.
emption, and only few who
are married but have no child
rem. The board is fair so far as
we have been able to see.

Cantaloupe Growers Should not
Be Discouraged

DC A1CouEdScu
Being requested to write my
opinion on the cantaloupe crop
failure the past season, l will en-
deavor to give nv view of the
conditions which prevailed,
causing not only the partial
failure of the crop but also the
market conditions.
The climate conditions this
season has been unusual and
very much against the cnltiva
ton of cantaloupes. Cold
weather retarded the growth.
Hail cut the vines, causing the
vines to have 10 make a second
start to growing which would
naturally cause the crop to be
later than if vines could have
been cultivated and kept grow
ing.
The cantaloupe is a very fast
growing vine, therefore should
have a quick fertilizer and fast
work. From time of planting to
end of harvest. consuming hard
ly more than four months.
l have handled cantaloupes in
all stages from planting to ship
ping and found that the faster
they were cultivated at the prop
er period, the quicker the crop
matur with nice melon.
l think that the main
trouble with most of the can.
taloupes planted in this section
was that the necessary amount
of fertilizer was not used and
also the crop was not cultivated
late enough. They should be
cultivated until the small canta
loupes are of such size as it
would damage them in twisting
the vines aside. / do not mean
to turn the vines over but push
them around on top of beds
letting the plow 20 close enough
to destroy all the grass and
weeds without disturbing the
roots of the vine. They are like
the watermelon, should not be
worked while the ground is wet
as it tends to stunt the growth.
The market price this season
was fairly good for good stock.
But the crop here being about
10 to Is days late caused them to
run in conflict with the North
Carolina and Virginia grown
fruit. and then, the growers not
fully understanding the proper
stage to pick the fruit, there was
a good deal of green stock
gathered also some over ripe,
either of which will ruin the
sale of the whole car.

sion house in New York to

do not think the growers should
feel discouraged over the fail.
ure of this crop. If you had the
same experience with cotton
the first year you planted would
you have become discouraged?
You have had some experience
which should help you in the
making and marketing of future
crops.

Some one told Frank Smith
the other day that if the army
officers had him III charge they
could reduce his weight by
proper exercise for about three
months, but he stated that he
would fatten if they would give
him all he could eat. Then he
added that his appitite prevented
him from work by making it
cheaper to hire a hand than to
buy as much food as he wants
when he works. That's the last
excuse for failure to work we
have heard.

By His Record.

been the lawyer for the laboring
man since he began the practice
of law is shown by the records
of Knox County.

that those records show that in
every case wherein w. R. Lay
has been employed, where a cor
poration was on one side and a
laboring man on the other, that
w. R. Lay has always been on
the side of the laboring man, and
some of the largest judgments
ever obtained in this court for

les sustained by them, have been
obtained through the efforts of

No matter whether you are bothered with gray, streaked with gray, iron gray, or prematurely gray hair, falling hair, dry. dull and brittle hair, oily, greasy, stringy hair,l dandruff or itch ing scalp, any druggist invites you to try La Creole Hair Dressing at thelr risk.

If your gray or fall ing hair is worth saving, La Creole is worth trying. La Creole is harm less-no dye, but has the wonderful ef- feet of restoring the color glands to activity, so all your gray hair is natur ally restored to that even dark, fas- cinating tone you used to have: Be sides La Creole stops dandruf and fall ling hair and causes thin hair to grow thick and new hair to sprout all over your head, making entire head of hair soft. fluffy. long, thick, evenly dark and snappy with new life.-Adv.
