HAYWOOD CO. LEADS
IN GREAT HOG SHOW
H. L. Currie's Poland Chinas Capture
Big Prizes at Tri-State Fair: Larg-
est Hog Ever Exhibited in Memphis: f:
Sales Fine.

H. L. Currie, who has won national
distinction as breeder of Poland Chi
ma hogs, kept up his splendid record
by winning nearly all the big prizes in
the Poland China class at the Tri-
State Fair held in Memphis last week.
Mr.. Currie' also had the distinction Of
owning the largest hog ever exhibited
at the Memphis fair. His noted boar,
Joe Hadley, tipping the beam at 1,O15
pounds.
In all five Of the boar classes Mr..
Currie won first. He also won the
jnuior champion, senior champion and
grand champion on boars. On aged
herd he got first prize and first in the
futurity show.
Mr.. Currie sold thirty-three hogs at
Memphis. Of this number two young
herd boars went to noted breeders in
Indiana. His junior champion boar
pig, seven months old, was sold to R.
G. Haxton, a prominent breeder of
Greenville, Miss, for $500.
This week Mr.. Currie is attending
the Chattanooga fair where he will
doubtless continue his splendid sue
cess. He has been in the business Of
breeding fine Poland Chinas for years,
and each year has brought added hon.
ors TO his already national distinction.
Mr.. Currie has given this work the
closest study and attention for many
years, hence the great success which
he has achieved.

WHEAT PRODUCTION
AND THE DRAFT

Figures show that Carter county,
Tennessee, has already furnished more
than $40 farmers to the army since
the war began. This is typical of
many other counties in the state. And,
in addition, hundreds Of farm hands
have been induced to leave the farms
to work in factories.
At the same time, the government
is putting forth every effort to in
crease wheat production. Hundreds
Of millions of bushels Of wheat will be
needed next year.
Again, the registration of men from
Is to 45 has taken place, and classif-
cation will begin in few weeks. A
number of the district boards of Ten
nessee recently promised the farmers
publicly that those who are doing their
full duty by the government will not
in the future have their labor taken
away. The United States Department
of Agriculture will bend every effort
to hold labor on farms.
Farmers who wish to help the gov
ernment, and at the same time hold
their labor. can certainly choose no
wiser course than to put out a good
sized wheat crop this fall.

BOYS Pig CLUB
MAKES GREAT DISPLAY
Wonderful Showing Made Since Or
ganizatiOn of Club on May 20:
About Thirty Entries at Fair.

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the fair this week is that of the
Boys Pig Club. There are forty-three
members to this club and twenty-five
or thirty entries at the fair. If our
farmers would just look over this ex-
hibits many Of them would be ashamed
For instance, Len Binford, one of
the smallest boys in the club, has a
pig which weighed 1872 pounds on the
25th day of last may. On October 1st
this pig weighed 3S1 1-2 pounds, a
gain of 249 IL pounds in 12s days, or
nearly two pounds per day. Another
member, the son Of Richard Coppedge

fi'ibbs selected Chester White pig
from a litter of eighteen. On May 20
this pig weighed 32 pounds. On Oc-
tober LIST, it weighed 233, gain Of
2Ql pounds in 1873 days. This pig is now

attention. Get lesson, you farmers,
from your boys.
Much of the success achieved by the
members of the Boys Pig Club is due
TO the splendid and untiring efforts of
Mr.. B. M. Elrod, Haywood county ag-

This is the last day of the tenth
annual fair Of the Haywood County
Fair Association. Some of the dis.
plays are the best ever seen here. The
association prepared for a bigger
than-ever-before fair by building q
splendid large cattle barn and making
other improvements The cattle ex-
hibit is by far lie largest and best
ever shown in Haywood county and
would be- a credit anywhere. There
are Herefords, Black Polls, Durhams,
Holsteins, Jerseys, Etc., all registered
stock and as fine as are to be seen
anywhere. The hog exhibit is unus-
ually good, the display of the Boys
Pig Club being in itself a creditable
show for any county fair. The poultry
display is the best ever seen here, en-
bracing fine types Of many different
breeds. The sheep are good, but there
are not enough of them.
The community club displays are not
so numerous as on last year, but the
five clubs showing are unusually good,
in fact, they are remarkable in many
respects and are great credit to the
communities represented. District No.
IL, District No. /, Lebanon, Taberna-
Gle and Woodville, all have displays
that are worth going miles to see.
Their example should be followed an
other year by dozen other communi-
ties. Nothing can be more helpful to-
ward building up community interests
and progress than the friendly rivalry
displayed at these booths. The good
comes from the work accomplished. 1t
does not matter so much as to which
gets the premium. They all deserve
one.
The races have brought some Of the
best horses in the country to Browns
! vile and all lovers Of this snort have
been falIy zeDaIa FOR attending each
DAY. AS general thing horses IN the
various races have been fast and well
matched. There have been a number
of rces in which the time was better
than 2:2O, which is good showing on
a quarter-mile tract. R
The agricultural and garden dis
plays have been good, but entirely too
few in number. Our farmers should
change this another year. If they will
get in the game, they can make this
the most interesting and most profita-
BILE part of our fair. The floral hall
exhibits are also good but few in num-
ber The ladies should see to it that
this department is built up another
year.
The attendance has been very good
and the management is to be congratu-
lated both on the splendid manner in
which the fair has been conducted and
on the success attained.
This is the last day. If you haven't
been, don't fail to take advantage OF
this last opportunity. You will learn
something and have fine time Of it.
Take the whole family.

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $100.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads, bIotches, eczema, and ringwor1n
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trife for each application. It is
always dependable. 4

Hunger, the most primitive of all

many of the important scenes in Char

"A Dogs Life" which will be shown
at the Strand Theatre, beginning We'd

Charlie is awakened from his outdoor

the tantalizing odor of steaming
