liminary Round.

Atlanta, July 1G.--Mrs. Emma B.
Manchester, supreme guardian of the
Woodmen Circle, lost the preliminary
round in the fight to curtail her pow
ers being made in the convention

ing to have counsel representing both
sides OF the controversy each make
forty-minute speeches on the issues,
was defeated by vote of DO to 23.
Mrs. Manchester's friends voted for
the resolution while the opposition
voted against it on the ground that
1T involved too much expense. TIE
actual fight is expected to come to-
morrow on the adoption of the recon-
dation of the law committee. The
Woodmen of the World delegates are
also revising the laws of the order
section by section. 1t is expected
provision will be made in the bylaws

of members who are drafted in the
army.
There is a fight on among fou,
cities for the next convention, Cleve,

PREPARE FOR FALL POTATOES

1t is nearing time to get ready for
planting fall potatoes. The farmer
should therefore, begin early to get
the land broken and ready so that
there will be no delay when the time
comes for planting. Waiting too
long to break the land might cause
one to miss good season. Keep the
land narrowed, and freee from weeds,
and when the time comes to plant
there will be no undue loss of time.
BY waiting too late to plow the land,
it might bake, and be too hard to get
in the proper condition. Break the
land as soon as possible, and keep
down the weeds and grass by using
the harrow often enough to preserve
dust mulch over the field.
Growing Frost Proof" Plants for
Setting the Spring Crop.
In the South, plants for setting
the spring crop may be grown from
seed sown in the open ground during
late September and early October.
Seed planted at this time should be
sown in comparatively rich soil and
should be sown in shallow burrows
on the level, which enables soil pro-
lection of the plants from severe
freezes by drawing soil around them
on approach of severe weather; other
wise the stems may be injured. Seed
lings grown under these conditions
become well established before cold
weather, developing in what is so
commonly called rost-proof" plants,
and may be transplanted as soon
as the weather and soil conditions
permit.

STUBBLE LAND SHOULD
BE NARROWED

AS soon as grain is removed from
the fields, they should be narrowed
to make a dust mulch to prevent
undue loss of moisture, and to keep
the land from baking, or crusting
over. If it bakes, which it will do
IN hot dry weather, it will break up
into clods when ploycd, and be very
hard to put in good shape for plant
ing. Unless it is to be plowed right
away, while there is good season
in the land, it should be narrowed
with a disc harrow so that it will
break up good if it gets dry before
all can be plowed.

Many hogs die from the effects Of
heat during the summer months. If
there is no natural shade in the
pasture, places should be provided
where the hogs may get relief from
the heat. A cheap and practical
plan is to build sheds with roofs of
poles and straw, supported by posts.
This will allow the free circulation
of air, and if the water supply is
near, will enable the hogs to pass
the hot weather safely.

PLANT STOCK BEETS
FOR WINTER DAIRY FEED

Clemson College, S. c., July 16.-
During July those farmers not ex-
pecting to use silo next winter
should put in sufficient stock beets to
feed their cows at least four months.
This will require two and one-half
tons per COW. A yield of ten to
fifteen tons per acre may be expected
on rich soil, with proper cultivation
and fair seasons. Beets, like turnips,
if planted on poor soils will be dis

appointing from the standpoint of
yield per acre.
The Mammoth Long Red and the
Globe are two good varieties of beets.
IheMammoth Long Red does not
keep as we'll as the Globe, and should
be planted for early use. Six pounds
of beet seed will plant an acre.
Too much cannot be said in praise
OF such feeds as beets, turnips, po-
tatoes and silage as adjustments to
the dry feeds which are generally
used in South Carolina during the
winter. These succulent feeds not
only balance the ration but increases
the milk flow, and keeps the animal
in healthy condition.

There is still time enough to uild
silo for this years corn crop if the
farmer will act quickly. If you are
going to build wooden one don't
look away off for material to buld

as good as anything you can buy
reasonably, and is much cheaper than
having lumber shipped two or three
hundred miles.

NENA WILL HAVE A
 CANNING FACTORY
H. Hiner of Cove, and the Rev. K. F. Mallon, With Full Equipment, Have Leased Oakdale Farm,
 With Suitable Buildings.

One of the dreams for the devel- opment of the truck growing in- dustry in this part of Polk county is about to be realized It is going to come true thru the establishment of a canning factory in Mena. The project is going to De carried out by II Hiner of Cove. who for the past year had been running canneries on small scale in Cove and Wander voort and by the Rev. R. F. Mallon Of this city The latter will be di- reclly in charge of the business lo- cally, and has been looking after the details for the establishment of the plant
 The Oakdale farm of 80 acres, to- gether with all of the buildings, in cluding the two barns built for the race track. has been leased for a term of years, and the factory will be located in the buildings erected as barns. Mir Mallon states that lit- tie change or 0verhauling will be necessary to adapt the buildings ad- mirably for their purpose.
 Mir. Hiner has a canning equip- ment and evaporator in storage al NandervoOrt, and these will be moved to Mena at the earliest op- portunity and the installation will take place immediately thereafter. The canning equipment has a capac- fly of 800 cans per hour. It is the plan to specialize in the canning of tomatoes, sweet potatoes and beach, es, but arrangements will be made to handle all kinds of fruits and vegetables, canning them either on shares or buying the product out right. The firm expects also to en- gage in the shipment of fresh fruits and vegetables.
 An experienced truck grower will be secured for the Oakdale farm. the plan being to put out from i5 to 70 acres of tomatoes and about 10 acres of sweet potatoes. In addition an effort will be made to get farm CTS in the community t0 grow these and other products under contract. to be delivered at the factory.
 Messrs. Hiner and Mallon are making this move on their own ini- tiative and are investing their own capital, doing so after a careful in- vestigalion of local conditions and after reaching the conclusion that Mena is an ideal location for can ming factory.

New York, March 29-The Freddie
Welsh-Benny Leonard bout, originally
scheduled to be held at the Manhat-
tan Casino last night and postponed
early this week until next Wednesday
because of Leonard's illness, was yes
terday postponed indefinitely because
of the serious nature Of his allment.
In bed with the grip, Leonard's tenn
perature last night was 1913.
The management of. the Manhattan
Casino got busy Immediately after this
ment which resulted in the substitu-
ton of the Fred F'ulton-Carl Morris
bout for the contest which was to be
held next Wednesday, April 4.
The Fulton and Morris bout was
originally set for April IL, but the
managers of both men have agreed to
have their athletes ready on April 4.
Leonard's condition is such that he
will not be able to resume boxing for
some time to come.
ct had hoped that Leonard would
be able to settle the argument with
Welsh on April 4, but 1 doubt if he
will be out Of bed by that time,' said
Gibson last night. '"This illness comes
at most inopportune time. I will
have to ask for a postponement TO
Benny's bout with Richie Mitchell.
I hate to do it, for Mitchell may get
away from us in the mean time, and
$4,000 guarantees are not forthcom-
ing every day.

JACK BROUGHTON FIRST
PUGILIST TO OBTAIN
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

It was on this date in 1851 that
Jack Broughton, the first pugilist to
hold bona fide championship title,
announced his retirement from the
ring. Broughton, who devised the
first code Of boxing rules and elevat-
ed boxing to science, became a deal
err in old and rare furniture and Gu
rios, and made a mint Of money in the
business, adding to his fortune by
successful operations on the stock ex-
change. He lived to his eighty-fifth
year, and left about $4,000 to his
heirs. a.
Broughton set an example which
might well have been followed by his
successors in the championship, but
most of them have gone into the booze
business after leaving the ring, and
very few have achieved success in
other lines. There have been a few
exceptions, John Gully, an, England
champion, becoming a member Of
Parliament and an immensely wealthy
coal operator and John 2Morrissey,
once champion of America, also made
a fortune and was elected to Congress.
