 Returning to Boston, John l.. de- .asSax9 +yyat he needed some one to 'hxrsdIe the business end of his new frvsnd profession. So he teamed up with Billy Madden, then a prominent ISghtweight boxer. Madden became known as Sullvan's manager ana Iefn L. gained the distinction or pe- ivs- the first fighter to become so +onv that he can't mako his own matches" On March s1, 1881 a testimonial xrar given to John l.. by New 1ork sportsrnen. The Bostonian oftered s5n 4o anyone who could stand up fo~ four rounds with him that night. Steve trayior. a fairly good heavy weight of that period, accepted the oho1lanpe And Sullivan, to the oe- light of the partisan auolehce, knocked out Taylor in the second round.
 On May 16, SS1 John L. fought ToI,n Flood on a barge anchoreo Ill the Hudson River, opposite YonKers' N. Y It was for an Ssoo pulSe -,,t;ob was considered a fabulous sum in those days for a nonchamp1onsnlp Ggb+ John l.. was returned the vic

 On JuIv II. 1881 Sullivan went to DhiIadeIphia and knocked out Fred C,rossIey in one round. Shortly alter ward he went to Chicago, took on Ia.nes Dalton and Jack Burns and mt both of them to sleep in jig time.
 And then began Fhe popular clamor for a meeting between the new phe- nom and Paddy Rysnaf, the champloh. Tohn L.. had whipped-deoisivelS~ ~- e,varv, man who had ranked the he1r auparents to Ryau's throne and the fight fans were wildly anxious to get the two Irfshmen together

 Then began the hunt for finan- cial packer for the Boston Highland Strong Boy John L. didn't have S5IOaO nor one-tenth of that sum Finally the Crib Club of Boston de- elared it would back John L. At the last rrpYn ent, however, it backed out probabfv because it had some mis- .yiyings+ as to St1Ilivan's chances with Ryan. .>@*f
 While Madden and Sullivan were hustling around trying get an "angel for John L.. a sportsman named James keenan announced that he would put up $2,500 of the $5,00C which Sullivan needed. No one else volunteered to put up the other $2,- 500 so rather than have the matcf fall through, Ryan agreed to a $1,' 500 side bet and the agreement was made to put on the fight some where in the South in the vicinity O New Orleans"
 February '. 1882 was the daf' named for the Sullivan-Ryan hAtlF And that was the day when John l. Sullivan, q. ring novice only two year before battered his way to the pm nacle of pugilism from which h ruled over the sweep of more thai ten years.

The conservation week which at FIRST
sounded so complicated to the ears of
the patriotic housewife striving so hard
20 remember and observe these new un-
written laws of the kitchen, is nothing
after all but one new whealless Mon
day and a Saturday that is shorn of
Fork.
For the rest Of the week Il is suai-
cient TO remember to serve one meat
less meal on wheailess days, one wheat
less meal mcatlcss days, and one of
each sort on days not specially desig-
mated as wholly wheatess and meat
less.
Under the new rules the one-dish
meal for the hearty lunch on meat
less day or the filling supper on wheat
less day is increasingly valuable %

Better Farming in the South
The Present Fertilizer Situation


made potash, however, is Just as val
liable as the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to thu
fact that there is a shortage of sui
phuric acid-a necessary compound in
the manufacture Of acid phosphate
Sulphuric acid is scarce, because py
rites, from which most Of ii is made
has been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which tc
transport Ii.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes
tic pyrtes, and readjust their manufac
turing plants to the production Of sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas The gov
ernment is requiring Of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
amounts to be used in the manufacture
Of explosives.
Then, too, there is considerable diff
ficulty in obtaining supplies of rock
phosphate, because OF the transporta.
ton shortage.
The supply Of nltrates has also been
curtailed because large amounts of sui
phate OF ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
facture of munitions. Cotton seed
meal, valuable source OF nitrogen, is
being used more and more for feeding
live stock Tankage, another splendid
source OF nitrogen, is also being used
for the sam purpose; consequently cot.
ton seed meal and tankage are high in
price.
Nitrate OF soda is more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and NUM-
ton requirements are heavy.
The fertilizer manufacturers find II
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there is tremendous shortage Of bur.
lap.
Thus II can be easily seen that 1t will
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accord
ingly IL he would make sure Of getting
his plant food.
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
increasing daily. The railroads are lit
orally overwhelmed. They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilizers and freight in general must
move In full car load lots, which means
cars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity.
Therefore, Mr.. Farmer, order your
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY Of
them; use them literally and iudicious-
ly, and thus secure maximum yields OF
crops, and so do your part to supply
the crying needs OF the world, while
at the same time you increase your
bank account.

Fayette County to Raise More Hogs

AS part Of Nationwide eff
fort to meet immediate demands for
more meat Fayette county will hold a
big hog-production rally at the county
seat on Friday, January II, 1918 This
Will be one Of the biggest and most
important events that has occured in
this county since the beginning of the
war. Tennessee has been asked by the
Government to produce 100000 more
hogs in 1918 than we're produced in the
State in 1917. This county will have a
partin thst work, and the popular
gatherings here on January II will
work out plans. Farmers, BANKERS.
merchants. teachers, county agents.
and IN fact all who are interested in
community development for the sake
OF war-w'nning will be expected to
attend.the meeting and take part.
This effort is being directed by the
