Handle Factory

The McCleskey handle factory
at Mckenzie is IN operation after
a delay of several weeks on getting
installed on account of the bad
weather. Several hands are en-
ployed by this new industry and
the payroll will mean much to
the town as the business grows.
It is located on the N. G. road in
West Mckenzie. This factory
was located in Huntingdon but
failing to make satisfactory ar
engagements with the board of
mayor and aldermen for steam, it
was moved to Mckenzie. Mr..
MeCleszey had a contract with j..
VI. Dill to furnish him but when
the latter retired from the water
and light plant, the city authorl-
ties refused to carry out the con.
tract.

THE EGG MARKET

Last week was a memorable one
in the egg market. The most sem
sational break ever recorded in
one week was made. They closed
Saturday in the Nashville market
at rs cents the dozen, which was
Is cents the dozen below prices
obtained the previous Saturday.
The largest break was on Monday
of last week, when they dropped
10 cents in one day. The spring
like weather caused the hens to
get busy and the receipts in the
market were increased by a de-
crease of railroad congestion, caus-
ing a big drop in the eastern
markets.
The United States Food Admin
istration has prevented the sale of
hens before May /. This will en-
able the hens on the farms to ex-
ercise their right and lay eggs un-
molested. The price will be so
reduced that eggs can be eaten,
taking the place of meat, which
the government needs for the SOL
diers and allies. Eggs are nour-
ishing and should be used freely,
and will be when the price comes
within the bounds of reason. Eggs
are high at present prices, and far
mers should not complain as long
as they can get from 90 to Is cents
the dozen.

seIIing Eggs

In a statement referring to a ru-
NOR among farmers of Western
Tennessee that selling of eggs will
be prohibited, the United States
Food Administration says that, to
the contrary, the administration is
vitality interes ell in seeming the
egg and poultry business increased
to the maximum.
The statement follows:
The United States Food Ad-
.ministration has information that
there is a rumor among farmers in
Western Tennessee that the selling
of eggs will be prohibited. The
Food Administration is vitality in
terested 10 seeing the egg and
poultry business increased to the
maximum, in order that the indus.
tries may not be demorallzed'a s
they are in the allied countries,
where poultry and eggs are linn
tied almost to hospital, the inval-
ids and wounded.
The selling of live hens has
been restricted until April 80, IN
order to prevent rapid disintegra-
ton of the poultry industry by the
selling of laying hens. In some
parts of the country large pro
portion of the laying have already
been sold because of the high price
of live poultry. These hens should
be kept on the farms. They will
lay about 30 eggs each before May
/. These eggs may be sold or sci
for Matching. On and after May
/, the hens may be sold as usual.

Reclaim Quilted Land

Gullies are land MASTERS, and
farln land is too valuable to waste.
Every gully and waste place or a
farm is a loss to the owner and a
source of harm to the community.
Gullies and waste places should be
reclaimed; they should be made to
produce something of value. Crop
time is close at hand, but many a
good stroke can and should be put
| in now toward reclaiming the
waste places. Brush dams should
be built to start it. Many a
scrubby tree on gully banks will
do a better service if cut and made
into a dam than it does standing.
The brush dam is cheap, easy to
build and holds dirt. The dirt
caught by brush dams can be set
out with black locust bushes, Ber-
muda grass or honeysuckIe vines,
all three of which are valuable.
This work can never be started a
minute earlier than now, and the
sooner it is begun and carried on,
the sooner good results will be
gotten. Even a days work will
mean great deal in stopping gull
lies. The brush dam will soon
show how much dirt would have
passed out during the rains if it
had not been there. 1t is better
to grow posts and pasture than to
grow gullies and waste places.
Cattle and hogs are in great de-
mand, the country needs them and
they can hardly be grown without
pasture. Bermuda grass will fur
nish the grazing and the black To-
Gust will furnish the posts for
fencing the pasture. If anyone
thinks the Bermuda grass and To-
Gusts will be hard to get rid of, he
might on the other hand ask the
question, why get rid of them ~
Bot If he should wish to get rid Of
them at some time, would they not
be easier to get rid of than gull
lies9 More locusts. Bermuda grass
and honeysuckle vines are needed
instead of the waste places. R.

logical Survey.

Mrs. Susan rIcCaslin

Mrs. Susan McCaslin, aged 81
years, died at the home of Green
Boyd, her son-in-law, last Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Boyd lives in the
Twelfth district. The death was
caused by pneumonia, complicated
wife ills incident to old age. She
was a widow, her husband having
lost his life during the war be-
tween the states. She is survived
by three children, Mrs. Green
Boyd, Willard and Haskell Nc
Caslin. She was q member of the
Methodist church and was a most
excellent woman. The burial &C.
Cured at noon Wednesday at
Pleasant Hill, after appropriate
services, conducted by, Rev.
Thomas Orman.

Parcel Post Weight

A very important ruling has
been made by the Postofice De-
partment, effective March 10, 1918,
increasing the weight limit Of
packages carried by parcel post.
Packages weighing as much as sew
enty pounds can now be sent by
parcel post to any Office in the
third zone from point of mailing,
or in other words, within 800 hun
dred miles of Huntingdon. Pack
ages weighing fifty pounds can be
mailed for delivery within any of
the other zones, that is, within the
United States and its possessions.
1t should be clearly understood,
though, that no package weighing
more than seven pounds can be
sent to members of the American
expeditionary forces in Europe.
This change will serve to in
crease the usefulness and avail
ability of the parcel post as a
prompt, convenient and cheap
means of transporting mailable
parcels. The increased weight limit
will oe particularly advantageous
to the marketing of products of
the farm, as il will make it pos
sible for producers and consumers
to get into direct contact, thereby
facilitating the conservation and
distribution of food, which is the
most important factor in winning
the war.

And for his place nominate friend the business hen,
With proven worth and patriotism and friend of all true

To feed soldiers over there and from defeat
On bacard farms and plots where poultry and hryes
Keep hens chickens produce eggs and heroes lives
Far better is the cacle when an honest egg is born
Than hear the kaers huah when human heart torn
Hence, let us heed the warning and rally to man,
And aid the nation wide campaign that's being launched by Uncle SAM
More chickens eggs and poultry will seal the kaiser fate
Produce them bye and bye when be too late
So let's keep hens million strong for meat fighting fuel

WAR SAVINGS STAMP DAY


March % has been designated
as war savings stamp daY, and
elaborate plans are being perfected
to make it a great day for the sale
Of these baby bonds.p One or
more patriotic mass meetings will
be held in every county in the
state. The state organization is to
furnish good speakers for these
meetings. In the towns and cities
the business houses will be asked
to close one hour. parades will be
had, patriotic songs will be played
and sung, and through the help of
the women and boy scouts it is
hoped to sell to every man, woman
and child in Tennessee one or more
war savings or thrift stamps.
The government is appealing to
the patriotic people Of this coun-
try to TO buy these stamps. 1t is
not a gift you are making to the
government, but a paying invest
ment. The money is needed in
the present crisis and you are only
asked to loan it to Uncle Sam that
he may putt to use in meeting
war expenses, and later will pay it
back to you with four per cent in
terest. 1t is the patriotic duty of
of every man who can do SO to
help in this work.
