FOOLS AND FIRE.

The reckless destruction of humus
and soil fertility now going on all over
the South IS nothing less than appall-
ing. Years ago DR.. Knapp in writing
the Progressive Farmer said our peo-
pie "must use less fire and more sense"
IN dealing with their fields. A wise
God spends a year growing a coating
OF leaves and vegetation to rot and en-
rich the SOIL and then a fool man
comes along and in few minutes
brings to naught all natures efforts to
keep the land productive. Fools and
Fire make a good ALTERATION. No
matter whether 1t be in forest or field,
humus destroying fire advertlses the
tact that a neighborhood has IN 1t
man who is either fool or crImlnally
careless. The Progressive Farmer.

OIL DRILLING PROGRESSING
Derrick Being Erected Preparatory to
Drilling First Hole.

The Oklahoma parties who shipped
a car of oil machinery here last week
are now actively at work erecting the
derrick preparatory to commencing
drilling the frs: hole in search for oil.
, 1t will take about two weeks to get
ready for starting the drill.
The location Is on the property of
the Cumberland Lumber Company on
Peavine Mountain some ten miles north
of Crossville. The parties behind the
movement have plenty of means and
pain to make thorough test of the
region. Seemingly, the only possible
thing that can stop the work would be
inability to secure casing when the
hole has reached such depth a few
weeks later, as to render casing neces-
sary. 1ney have contracts arranged
for casing, but no one can tell just
what conditions may arise to interfere
with their plans as result of the war.
Now everything seems to be IN a very
favorable attitude for extensive pros
pectlng work.

PATRIOTISM.

We clip the following from the report
of the Nashville Boosters at Ozone last
week:
1.-The Boosters at Ozone, a little spot
on the top of the mountains, had an
experience which seldom comes to men
in body. To witness the sight of a
mother who has given two sons to the
war and whose devotion to her country
IS SO great that she IS willing to make
the utmost sacrifice, was inspiring in
the extreme. Mrs. A. E. Niles, the
postmlstress, did that and Chaplain
Frazier of the United States navy paid
her tribute that Will last IN Booster
memory. When she asked Gov. Rye
for United States flag, he not only
sent that one, but those of aome Of the
allies as well.

SALT FOR CATTLE.

DO you throw little salt to your
cattle every few days or weeks or do
you put salt where your cattle can get
it when they want 1T and so they can
eat just what they want and no more?
How w uld it suit you to eat your
food for few days without salt and
then eat q spoonful all at one time?
Wouldn't Ike it, would you? You
want salt il. your food every time you
eat. Yoy- cattle want ae,ss.stie ssalt
every night when they come up. Why
not buy good big chunk OF rock salt
and place 1T IN the cattle lot in a box
where the CATTLE can get to 1t when
they want it? Rock salt will not melt
IN a rain; it may rain on 1t tor hours
and you can scarcely tell the differ
ence, it IS SO hard. 1t costs little
more than the loose salt but is cheaper
in the end, for it lasts much longer.

OLD ALBUM FIRST ANTHOLOGY
Present.Day Passion for Gathering
Favorite Passages Of Prose and
Poetry More Than Fad.

1t Is small wonder that the number
of, anthOlogies should be increased
with every season, since the passion
for making them, so far from being a
literary fad, has its roots at the very
heart of human nature. In one way
or another we are all collectors, and
the desire to group together in sin
gle volume our favorite passages OF
poetry and prose is at least as old as
the Illuminated manuscripts of the
monasteries.
Moreover, in the generation immedi-
ately preceding our own, this taste
was particularly luxuriant; and the
first anthologies Of the current fashion
may be found in those albums of our
grandmothers, Of which every family
preserves a few, where the melodies
of Moore and the lyrical fervors Of
Mrs. Hemans are engrossed in the
neatest and most angular Of calig'
raphy. And nowadays, when every
thing that is written and collected
Seems to find its way into print sooner
or later, notnlng Is more naturdi tnau
that every man or woman Of letters
should be represented by his own par
ticular anthology. as sort Of sign
manual Of taste and erudition.
The custom has also conspicuous ad-
vantages, for even the most caprlcious
collection must needs contain many
indisputable Jewels. and for these
there can never be too many, nor too
frequent readers. =. :. Speaking gen.
orally, then. it may be said with jus.
tice that there can scarcely be too
many Of these aids to culture, and that
the more deeply they penetrate into
the leisure reading Of the student, the
more thoroughly will his appreciation
tor what Is best In literature be fos-
tered and developed-Arthur Waugh.
