SMALL BLAZE DOES
DAMAGE AT JASPER

A blaze originating from a gas
olene stove started a fire in the
building on the south side Of
square in Jasper Tuesday morn
ing, occupied by Ernest Cross as
a barber, shop and restaurant,
which nearly proved a serious
confagration. The interior was
badly scorched and restaurant
stock damaged before the flames
were quenched, the fire extin-
guisher from the Pryor garage
being used for the purpose. The
fire was first noticed by T. S.
Turner of Jasper. who. was pre-
pairing to go to his farm and not
iced the smoke from his residence
a quarter of a mile away. The
loss is about $100. The building
is one of a series of buildings, all
wooden structures and the early
discovery of the fire and success
full use of extinguisher saved a
disastrous fire.

There are many versions OF the
story illustrated on the old-fashioned
china known as the old blue willow
ware. There are three variations of
design, called the tone man." the
''two men," and the "three men,"
All share one scene, but the actors
in the drama vary. The very humble
home of lover is shown at the up
per left-hand corner, while below, to
the right, is depicted the handsomer
dwelling of his loved one, surrounded
by walled-in-gardens, the extent of
which indicates great wealth. The
willows are always there, as is the
stream, with its bridge and boat.
The lover going over the bridge to
see his lady is known as the "One
man" pattern. The second output of
the Caugley potteries was the "two
men" pattern, which showed in reality
two lovers on the bridge; they were
eloping, AZ goes the story, with intent
to hide until nightfsll, when the boat
should take them away.
The "three.men- on the bridge" de-
sign is that in which the lovers are
followed by the irate mandarin father,
from whom, it is said, the lovers es.
cape to the boat, are rowed across,
live happily forever after and are at
their deaths turned into birds as a re-
ward for faithfulness.
A certain mandarin or Chinese
nobleman had a beautiful daughter
named Li.cbi, with whom an humble
secretary called Chang fell deeply IN
love. In spite of the difference in
their positions Chang wooed and won
Li-chi, but when he asked the man
darin's permission to marry his
daughter the great man flew into a
terrible rage and absolutely refused
ever to give his consent to such a
union. The lovers, being exceeding
ly devoted to one another, felt that
they could not live apart, so they ar
ranged to run away together and
get married. Now, the palace of the
mandarin stood near the waterside,
while Chang's home was upon an
island not far distant. Thither the
young man thought to take his be-
loved, so, assisted by the mandarin's
headgardener, who was his friend, he
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1917-10-04
The Story of
The Willow Pattern

laid plans for boat to come one
night to take Li.chi and himself
across the water. But alas, very
soon after the mandarin learned
where the runaway lovers had fled
and quickly followed them. So ter
rible was his wrath that he was about
to fog them to death when, by mercI-
full power of magic, they were turned
into turtle doves, and so escaped his
cruel rage. And as turtle doves we
may think of them living happily
ever after.
Now, if we look at the ~':willow
pattern" we shall see Li-chi, Chang
and the friendly gardener crossing the
bridge on their way to the boat which
lies IN the middle of the water. The
upper left-hand corner of the plate is
filled with the picture of Chang's is
land home, while the doves which
are seen flying about near the top rep
resent the lovers after they had been
transformed. On the right, hand side
of the plate stands the mandarin's
palace, in front of which is a pagoda
or sacred tower. An orange tree
overhangs the pagoda, peaches grow
beside it and willow tree stands
near the bridge. The peaches are
said to stand for marriage and also
to mean long life, while orange BIOS
som is always favorite flower at
weddings. The willow tree, which
has given its name to the pattern, no
doubt stands for the sadness which
overhung the lovers courtship owing
to the mandarin's unkind behavior
We have all heard of the weeping
willow.
1t will be noticed that the bridge
is 1g-zag, and this is because the
Chinese believe that evil spirits can
not turn corners, but must go on in
straight lines. They therefore build
their bridges and walls in zig.zag
fashion. that demons may not follow
them. A high zigzag wall is built
across the entrance, some distance
from the door, of nearly all govern
ment buildings and many private
residences, for the purpose of prevent
ing the entrance OF evil spirits

SPLENDID CORN GROWN
BY CUMBERLAND FARMER

Crossville, Oct. l. Splendid
corn is reported grown on the
mountain farm of J. W. Buttram
in Cumberland county on noun
tain" land, which is generally
considered worthless for corn
growing. Mr.. Buttram purchas-
ed a farm on the mountain last
spring and entered at once into
scientific cultivation, and this
corn crop. which will easily aver
age 80 bushels per acre is one of
the results of his intensive culti-
walton. 1t was grown on what is
known as natural meadow" land,
a soil on which only wild grass
was believed could grow with any
degree of success. Mr.. Buttram
drained this land, lined it and
used acid phosphate in the row,
and the result with thoro cultiva-
tion is ears of corn as large as
can be grown anywhere. Mr..
Buttram is we'll pleased with the
result of his, experiment. He
came from Georgia and purchased
the land for $40 per acre. He is
also growing soy beans and is
having great success with these.

GROUND LIMESTONE
AIDS TO AGRICULTURE
n, c. 4 st. |. Railway Issues
Poster for Assistance Of
Farmers.

The Importance of ground lime
stone as an aid to agriculture under
certain conditions has been recogniz-
ed by soil experts all over the coun-
try, but for the past few months the
farmers have been handicapped, more.
or less, in securing this agricultural
necessity by reason of shortage in
supply, as many of the quarries had
stopped crushing.
In its efforts to promote the agri-
cultural development of the territory
served by its lines, the N, g. 81 st.
L. Railway, thru its agricultural de-
partment, has just issued poster for
general distribution, advising the
farmers who want crushed limestone
to make their wants known to Mr..
Jos. II. Judd, Special Agricultural
Agent, and he will put them in touch
with sources OF supply.
The poster says, "Ground limestone
should be applied before seeding this
fall to land sown in wheat, rye, oats
barley or crimson clover, but it may
be applied as top dressing during
the late fall, winter or early spring
for the benefit of subsequent legume
crops"
Asa result of this campaign an
average of seven cars of ground lime
stone have been moving to various
agricultural sections over the line for
the past several weeks. That the
work on the part of the road is being
appreciated by the farmers is shown
by the numerous inquiries which are
coming in.

TO CHEAPEN LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds of Foods
That Should Be Selected and,
Prepared.

A bulletin published by the New
Yclk department of health suggests
a number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy,
and especially oatmeal" the bulletin
says, ARE rich in nOuriShment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals,
American cheese, dried beans, ana
peas are comparatively cheap, and con-
tain great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
"Oleomargarine is a very satisfac-
tory and economical substitute for but
ter. Unfortunately, it's use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
Rice is very cheap food and can be
served in many different styles. 1t
should be used more frequently than it
is in the dietary of those of moderate
means. 1t contains a very high per-
centage of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms of nouriShment.
Everyone knows how extensively it is
used among the peoples of Asia, where
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
''It should not be necessary to state
that bread preferably of whole wheat
form which is rich in very important
food elements called 'vitamines,' also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman.
There are many other cheap food
stuffs, notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way
impairing its food value.

ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Net
Put In So Much Time Wash
ing Dishes.

1.-THE careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash dishes"
writes DR.. Fl. Barnard in liable Talk"
in the National Food Magazine. "She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
Of shiftless, slovenly housekeep
ing. AS a matter of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily dish-washng
jobs"
Doctor Barnard goes on to recjte
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing One week she
washed dishes three times a day; the
next week she washed each days
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes day to wash after each
meal and Al minutes a day to wash
them once day.
This took account only of time, but
there was a considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day, to say nothing of the saving in
soap.
