freedom. In all likelihood quite a
large sum will be realized and this

At the regular meeting of the eoun-
Gil the past week interesting reports
were heard from every committee and
indications are that the celebration
to take place on September 2 will be
the greatest event ever staged by the
LEGAL laboring people There will be
horse races, auto races, bicycle con-
tests, novelty events, etc.
A very interesting feature will be
the stunts to be put on by the avia-
tors to be sent over from Park Field,
Millington. The birdmen will come in

give the onlookers the spectacle of
the nose dive, tail spin, etc.
There will be some sort of entertain

not fully completed arrangements for
this, but are working along several

SPINACH BETTER THAN
TURNIP GREENS

Everybody likes greens, and almost
every Tennessee garden grows turnlI
greens for winter use, They are good
but spinach is better.
The best time to sow spinach for
winter use is in the late September so
that the young plants can become es-
tablished before freezing weather. But
in the southern counties Of Tennessee
IL can be sown throughout the winter.
Everywhere in the state a February
sowing should be made for early
spring use. Market gardeners use
spinach as "catch CROP" sowing 1t
in drills along side the salad onion
rows. 1t succeeds well in new ground,
as it particularly likes soil rich in
humus. All winter-growing crops
must have perfect drainage to insure
the warming of the soil. Victoria and
Long Standing are standard varieties
Of spinach.

the British apparently are continu-
ing their progress on the Flanders
front.
Summarizing the military activities
on the western front since Saturday,
General March said that the British
had carried the allied lines between the
Scarpe and the Somme over the hilly
plains east of the Albert against de-
termined resistance on the part of the
enemy. On Tuesday the British con-
tinued to depth of five miles along
the very important Arras-Cambrai
road.
On the French front the attack
Tuesday on 10-mile front went for
ward two miles and eliminated in the
capture of Noye. Since then very i'm
portant ground to the east of this
place also has been captured.
General March confirmed the report

TOO BAD HE COULDN'T MARCH.

United States Senator Howard Suth-
erland of West Virginia, tells story
about a mountain youth who visited
recruiting office in the senator's state
for the purpose of enlisting in the reg
ular army. The examining physician
found the young man as sound as a
dollar, but he had fiat feet.
"Tm sorry" said the physician, "but
I'll have to turn you down. You've got
fat feet"
The mountaineer looked sorrowful.
"No way for me to git in, then?" he
inquired.
II guess not. With those fiat feet
of yours you wouldn't be able to
march five miles"
The youth from the mountains stud
led a moment. Finally he said: I'll
tell you why l hate this so darned bad.
You see walked nigh on to one hun
dred and fifteen miles over the noun
tains to git here, and gosh, how | hate
to walk back."-Everybody's Magazine

GOT THEIR PAPERS "SMOKED"
Readers Were Amply Protected
Against Infection in the Early
Days of the Republic.

In the early days of the United
States, at times when epidemics were
appearing in the larger cities, the pub
fishers of newspapers dlsinfected their
sheets before delivering them to news
boys and post riders. Frequently, in
order that the sheets might not be car
riers of disease, they were put into
stoves and thoroughly smoked before
being wrapped for delivery. In the
South, where yellow fever often spread
very rapidly, special stoves, built of
sheet iron, were designed for this pur-
pose and used tobacco as fuel, but the
process was slow, as only one sheet
smoked" at time. The plan OF
smoking by wholesale from resinous
wood was probably more commonly
employed in the North than in other
sections of the country because of the
great infection feared from smallpox
The academic and pedantiC newspaper
critics, who, like the poor, have been
ever present, used to assert at such
times that a publisher would perform
a much more useful service for the
public if he would pay more attention
to disinfecting the contents of his pa
pers and less to disinfecting the sheets
themselves. The latter, critics assert
ed, could be done when necessary by
the reader in his own home.

FUND NOT BASED
ON MILAGE PLAN
Attorney General Richie Files
Opinion Upon State Road
Apportionment.

In compliance with the request Of
the Senate, asking an opinion upon
the question of whether the State
Roads Commission is bound to appor-
ton it's funds among the counties of
the State in proportion to their road
mileage, Acknowledgement Richie last
evening submitted his decision He
said that in only the first 100000
loan was it provided that the money
should be appOrtioned according to
mileage, and that in every subsequent
loan the manner of apportionment was
set forth and in the last two big
loans no reference was made to road
MILEAGE
Summing up, he reached this con
. clusion:
ct is clear, therefore, that the
State Roads Commission is not bound
to apportion its funds among the coun-
ties in proportion to road mileage, un-
less that is the method provided by
the particular act creating the loan
which is being expended. In other
words, each loan act provides how the
loan it creates is to be apportioned
Sometimes this has been by road mile
age and sometimes not The last loan
act expressly provided that the appor-
tionment should be in the commits
sion's discretion, without reference
to road mileage
