COULD Be WORSE
Or at Least That is the Way the
Tennessean Sees II

The following on the weather
situation in Nashville, which ap-
peared in Tuesdays Tennessean,
will be interesting because of the
statistics it contains:
Nashville is now in the throes of
the coolest six,weeks. spell it has
felt, according to Weather Fore
caster Roscoe Mum. There have
been colder temperatures than those
registered this season, but no Sc
we're weather of protracted length
as that now being endured. Be-
ginning December 8, last, the cold
has lasted up to the present time,
and there is no prospect of any
immediate relief. During three
weeks for only nine days has the
temperature risen above normal,
and then, like the freezing people
in the city, the mercury shrank as
small as possible and stayed in its
hole for days.
The average temperature for the
last three weeks in December was
10 degrees below normal, and for
the first three weeks in January,
IA degrees below normal, making
the average for the cold spell up
to the present, II degrees below
normal. There have been as cold
and colder spells during the forty
seven years that records have been
kept, but their duration has been
much shorter. For instance, Jan
uary, 1884, on one day the temp
erature was as low as 10 degrees
below zero, the same as the lowest
this season, and on February 10,
1899, 13 below was registered, the
coolest single day in the history of
the city. But on the whole, the
present season has been the coolest
long spell Nashville has had. Com
pairing this winter with last, Jan
uary, 1917, averaged AZ degrees.
and January, 1918, up to the Goth,
averaged "a degrees; December,
1916, had an average temperature
of 80 degrees, and December, 1917,
81 degrees.
Statistics show that already Nash
vile has been visited by twenty
five SHOWS, ten of which were fur
ries, two in November, ten in De-
cember and thirteen in January,
the biggest of which was on JAN
uary IL, measuring IL inches.
Everybody remembers that Friday
afternoon, when it took hours to
get home. The total snowfall for
the first twenty days of January
is 1871 inches. The heaviest snow
fall on record for twenty-four
hours occurred on March II, 1892,
measuring Ill inches. So it
could be worse.

Unprecedented Value

Farm products of the United
States reached the unprecedented
value of SO, 443, $40, 1881 last year
an increase of more than $6,000,.
100000 over 1916, and almost
so, 900, 100000 more than 1915. A
preliminary estimate just an
nounced by the department of ag-
riculture shows that crops were
valued at $13.610, 462,7S2, and
represented 70 per cent of the
value of all farm products. Ami
mails and animal products were
valued at IS, 1873, 1886, 500.

SlEzE BIG BOOZE
Raids Being Made Frequently Out
From Paducah

Three hundred quarts of whisky,
in trunks, suit cases, boxes and
baskets, intended for Memphis and
points between Paducah and Mem
phis, were nabbed one day last
week by government officials as
the train was leaving Paducah.
Only two arrests were made.
Will Robinson, of Laconia, Tenn,
and Sol Beasley, COL, of Buena
Vista, were caught with the goods
in their.posSession, the owners of
the remainder of the stuff refused
to admit ownership and the proof
was lacking so they escaped, Many
different brands of whisky were in
the consignments.
This method of bringing whisky
into Tennessee has grown notori-
Gus and federal authorities, so we
are informed, are getting busy to
put stop to it.
The whisky vendors, it is
claimed, will meet parties at sta
tons along the line BY previous
arrangements and deliver to them
innocent looking packages that
contain whisky.

DANGEROUS BUSINESS


1t is quite Improbable to handle
booze. or to have anything to do
with it, under the present laws, as
two citizens of Huntington can
testify.
Last Saturday Nanny Cash. a
good farmer on route four. went
to Rosser to meet train No. 4, and
DR.. j. S. Ramsey, who was on the
train, delivered to him two inno-
cent looking baskets filled with
what later proved to be booze.
As Cash drove into town City
Marshal Jolly. who had gotten
wise, took charge of the baskets
and placed Mr.. Cash under arrest.
The baskets contained SIX quarts
each, making twelve quarts.
Later Saturday DR.. Ramsey was
served with a warrant. He claims
that some one on the tram asked
him to hand off the baskets, and
being of an accommodating nature,
he did so, ard is going to fight the
case in the courts.
Cash came in Monday, submit
ted his case before Recorder Eason,
and paid a $50 fine and trimmings.

Craig, collector of internal reve-
nue., Nashville, and obtain the ne
cessary blank upon which to file
your tax return. If the federal
officer has already been in your

revenue collector and obtain a
blank. Your bank or postoffice can
tell you when the officer will be in

1t is pointed out by the collec-
tors Office that there is no provis-
ion in the law to relieve a delin-
quent taxpayers on account of fail
ure to receive a blank or to be Wis
tied by a federal officer. The tax
payer must go to the government.
If he does not, he incurs the heavy
penalty provided by law. All in
come tax returns must be filed
with the internal revenue colIec-
tor or one of his deputies on or
before March /, 1918. If not,
penalty for delinquency will accrue
by law.

Kentucky Dry

Both houses of the Kentucky
legislature have ratified the pro-
posed prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution. The res
olution passed the house 66 to 10,
and was approved in the senate by
a vote of 81 to Is. The debate in
both houses was brief. When
Kentucky votes this way it looks
bad for booze.
