MiSSiSSippi River Frozen

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 12.--With the
thermometer lowering around zero here
tonight the Mississippi river was frozen
over solidly for the first time since
1916. The low mark of eight degrees
below zero, registered at o'clock this
morning, being the coolest January
reading recorded here in thirty-two
years, was responsible for the freezing
of the river. A river tug, which made
a landing under difficulties at o'clock
tonight, reported the river almost froz-
en- over and two hours later a railroad
man staotioned at one Of the bridges re-
ported that the river was then frozen
solid.

of Administration Sought
in Election

COLUMBUS, Ga, Jan. 12.-Unsual In
terest is conferred in the general election
in the Fourth district next Wednesday

majority that may completely snow

that he has a few workers here.
Chairman U. Garrard of the district
committee urges the Democrats of the
district against overconfidence and in
sists that every one arrange to be at

calls attention to the Importance Of
packing up tne nominee with SoAIu
front not only in the interest of the
party, but as a means of putting forth
a strong endorsement of the administra-
TONS war program. 1t is stated here
that for this reason a number of Re-
publicans will join hands with the Dem
ocrats on next Wednesday, helping to
pile up a big majority for man who
is known to be in hearty accord with

the great war.
Local Democrats are planning for an
active canvass to get out the voters on
Wednesday. A big rally for Tuesday
night is intimated. but no definite plan

Cow-Testing Association
Is Being Agitated by
County Agent Chastain

The formation of a contrasting asso-
citation composed of Fulton county dali
rymen, for the purpose of raising the
standard of dairy products and at the
same time safeguarding the financial
investments OF the various dairymen and
increasing the efficiency of their plants
is being agitated by T. G. Chastain,
county agricultural agent
Mr.. Chastain appeared before the
Fulton county commissioners at their
meeting Saturday to request an appro-
priation of $50 per month to be ap-
piled toward the maintenance of such
an organization. The dairymen them
selves have signified their willingness to
contribute a portion of the financial sup
port for the proposed testing system.
while the state department of agricul-
ture and the state college of agricul-
turn are also to be asked to assist finan-
cially.
II is planned to employ an expert who
shall at frequent intervals inspect each
dairy in the county, suggesting such
modern and practical improvements as
will increase the efficiency of the plant
and raise the standard OF its products.
Thus the productive value of each. COW
in the dairy could be arrived at and
the dairymen informed as to the exact
financial status of his plant
The commissioners deferred action on
the $50 appropriation asked for by Mr..
Chastain and at the next meeting the
matter will be taken up again, after ad-
ditional organization steps have been ia
ken.
