A PROFITABLE BERRY CROP

Ripley, Tenn, June 15.-The straw
berry crop for Lauderdale county,
which has Just been gathered, was one
Of the most profitable to the growers
for several years. The acreage this
season was increased about 40 per
cent, yet the aggregate yield being
only about half normal crop, the
shipments in number Of cars did not
exceed last year but little, yet the
fruit was very fine and the price was
good. There were BAG cars shipped
from the county, as follows;
Ripley, Ill; Gates, 107; Curve, rs;
Halls, So In the above list is includv
ed nine cars shipped from the various
towns BY local express and 13 cars
from Henning, which is part Of
Ripley association and shipped with
the growers from this place.

DYERsBURG ADVOCATES
RIVER IMPROVEMENT

Dyersburg, Tenn, June 15.-Capt
J. J. Balm, United States engineer,
gave hearing here Thursday on the
feasibility eff opening to navigation
the Forked Deer river below here. The
meeting had been well advertised and
there was large audience, composed
OF landowners, business and profess
sional men.
Before the building of the Illinois
Central railway, Dyersburg was at the
head of thriving river trade, some
boats making regular trips from here
to st. Louis and other points. With
the advent of the railways, however,
the river trade Jagged so that for the
past few years it has been almost dor
mant. To bring back the former state
and realizing the possibilities, the
matter of securing an appropriation
to clean out and straighten the chan
mel was agitated AS a result, the
government sent Capt. Balm to make
personal investigation as to whether
a .survey should be made; to ascertain
the needs and cost of the work.
AT the meeting many speakers, with
figures carefully compiled, showed the
tonnage that would be brought up the
river, thus relieving the congestion of
the railways, and that the freight
rates would be lowered, and many
pledged themselves to have transport
ed hundreds of tons annually,
Capt. Balm was impressed and will
furnish all data to the government, it
is understood, with recommendation
that the survey be made.

been confined to his room since Jan
uary on account Of illness and his
brother, Mr.. James H. Hall, of this
county, had just left his bedside,
reaching here on the morning pre-
ceding his death.
The deceased was a son of the late
John N. Hall and was born and spent
all of his life up until IL years ago in
the Mt Carmel neighborhood, this
county, moving then to Abilene, Tex,
in search of health. He resided with
his family in that city up until six

THE LOCAL WHEAT CROP

The condition Of wheat and oats inn
proved SO rapidly during the cool
weather in May that good crop Of
each win be made in this county--in
fact, men in position say that the
wheat crop is the best we have had
in five years. Practically all the
wheat crop has now been harvested.
The stalk is nothing like as high as
usual, but the heads are unusually
long and the grain large and fine,
which is always the case when the
stalk is low.
1t is believed by some that rolling
and packing the young wheat at
height of some two or three inches
with an iron roller, in the same man
ner as it is done in Illinois and other
states Of the Middle West, would
prove beneficial here, as it would keep
the stalk from pushing up out of the
ground after freezes.

Pick the green's and wash thorough
". Boil for 80 minutes in small
amount of water. Then pack in quart
glass jars. Put level spoonful of salt

water in which greens were boiled.
Place new red rubber on each jar.
Lay the top on loose. Place on wooden
rack in bottom of boiler-or in Gamer
pour in water to three-fourths Of

til next day.
Second day, loosen tops of jars,
place in boiler as before and boil one

Tighten tops and set away
Third day, same as second
The first days boiling is supposed
to kill practically all bacteria that
causes fermentation. This does not
kill the spores or seeds The second
days boiling kills such bacteria as
may have developed from the seeds.
The third days boiling, while not alb
solutely necessary, makes sterilization
project.
If your mustard is all gone, sow
some early in August for fall canning.
The Southern eurled is best.

LINCOLN CHAUTAUQUA WAS
MUCH APPRECIATED HERE
All Sessions Were Literally Attended
and Thoroughly EnjOyed-Another
Chautauqua Is Assured Next Year.

The Lincoln Chautauqua, after q
series Of high class entertainments,
presented its last number on Friday
evening to an audience of several
hundred people, every available seat
under the big canvas 4ent being oc-
cupied, while large nsfgAber of peo-
pie were standing in the rear.
AT the last entertainment, an OPP
portunity was given to the people to
pledge themselves to buy season tick
cts for another chautapqua next sum-
mer. Pledges were taken for oyer
400 tickets and another chautauq6a
for next season is practically assured.
A large number agreed to purchase
as many as five season tickets.
Thursday evening, the young people
of the community, who derived much
benefit from an educational stand
point, presented a pageant, America,
Yesterday and Today, under the di-
rection of Miss Dora Miller. Thurs
day afternoon, Mrs. A. C. Zehner de-
livered a splendid address on "Amer-
lean Ideals.
Fridays program was, perhaps, the
most interesting of the entire week.
The American Opera Quartette pre-
scented an artistic concert in the after
noon, and in the evening they played,
in costume, "The bohemian Grip. DR..
Lincoln Mcconnell, the star platform
lecturer of the week, lectured twice
during the day. His first lecture,
Dead Lions, followed the concert in
the afternoon and was considered by
his hearers as a masterpiece. In the
evening, he delivered a patriotic adj
dress on "The Kaiser and the DeviP',
the audience listening spelbound as
the orator, in language not to be mis-
understood, told of the horrors of the
war and the designs of Germany for
universal domination. He then urged
his hearers to awaken themselves to
the seriousness of the situation and to
be loyal and patriotic. His stirring
remarks were frequently greeted by
loud cheers and, at times, he would
bring laughter and tears, having all
the qualities of a great orator.

LOCAL RED CROSS SOCIETY
ORGANIZED MONDAY NIGHT
Rev. Frank B. Sinex Opens Campaign
at First Baptist Church Sunday
Night-S1,2 200 Subscribed to Fund.


A union service for the purpose of
raising funds for the American Red
Cross work was held in the First
Baptist church last Sunday evening.
AS there were no services at any of
the other churches, a large congrega-
ton filled the auditorium of the
church to hear Frank B. Sinex, who
has charge of the Red Cross work in
West Tennessee. He was introduced
to the audience by Maj. M. A. Walker,
who has been appointed at the head
of the work in this county Prior to
the speaking, the choir sang Nearer,
My God, to Thee" and a patriotic an
them, my Country, 'Tis of Thee.
Miss Willie Townsend rendered a vo-
cal solo, "The Penitent".
Mr.. Sinex, who spoke for about As
minutes, explained the campaign now
in progress to raise funds for the
support of the Red Cross work. He
explained, further, that it is the open
ing Of a campaign which must sue
coed, for it is a part of President Will
sons program. Should it fail, it
might even mean that the United
States would fail in this war. Presi-
dent Wilson has designated the Red
Cross to raise this fund of 100000
900 by voluntary subscription so that
an increased spirit Of patriotism may
be aroused. He could, of course, have
raised this fund by taxation, but tax
alton many times restricts patriotism
while voluntary subscriptions make
patriots of men and women.
On motion Of Mr.. w. F. Bringle,
president of the Covington Business
Mems club, at the conclusion Of Mr..
Sinex' remarks, it was decided to hold
meeting Monday night for the pur-
pose of organizing a force in this
county to raise our quota of $4,000.
The aforestated meeting was held as
planned and a permanent organiza-
ton was made with r. w. Sanford as
chairman. There were about rs Of
the leading business men of the town
present and subscriptions were re-
ceived amounting to $1,000. The in
dividual subscriptions ranged from
$40 to 5000, many of the men giving
as much as 800.
The quota for Upton county is ex-
pected to be raised by Monday, June
"a, the last day of the campaign.
From now until Monday an active
campaign in this county will be on
foot, and on effort will be made to
secure the desired sum.

CANNING PAYS


We hope all our farmer readers will
encourage their wives to put up rec
rd-breaking quantities of fruits for
winter use. And if anybody is in
clined TO discourage preserving on ac-
count Of the alleged high price of
sugar, we commend that person to the
convincing figures prepared by Mrs.
Lily Haxworth Wallace, national pres
ident of the Associated Domestic Sci
ence clubs. She proves that the in
creased cost of sugar used in preserv-
ing, as compared with five years ago,
amounts to only one and one-half
cents per quart jar. In comparison
with food values III other products,
fruit IS now certainly worth several
cents more per quart Jar than then.
Save all the blaekberries now and the
other fruits as they come along

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Bladder
troubles you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which eXcites the
kidneys. they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes n delightful effer-
Vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
TO keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
