tured, pleasant-mannered, congenial
people, and while there had the
pleasure of meeting Miss Mary

daughter Of that splendid farmer,
Horace Fields, residing just over in
Obion County, near Mount Pelia.
Miss Mary is an enthusiastic Delco

Monday afternoon, June II, at 1:1O
O'Clock at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. F. L. Pewitt, at Dycrsburg.
DR.. Powell was born in January,
1886, near Kenton, Tenn, but had
made Union City his home for many
years, where he was engaged in
dentistry. He was highly respected
and law abiding citizen. A few
years ago DR.. Powell suffered a
stroke of paralysis and never re-
gained his strength. Since his
health failed he has made his home
with his daughters, Mrs. Pewitt, of
Dyersburg, and Mrs. w. B. Jones,
of this city. DR.. Powell was a con-
secrated Christian gentleman and
had been a devout member of the
Methodist Church since early life.
He was an ex-Confedcrate soldier
serving in Gen. Forrestgs command.
He had been elected Adjutant Cen
eral for life time and belonged to
Company e.
The deceased leaves to mourn his
death four daughters, Mrs. w. B.
Jones and Mrs. L. c. Boaz, of this
city; Mrs. Pewitt, of Dyersburg;

DR.. R. W. Powell.

DIR. C. C. Powell and the editor
accompanied Mr. Will Wade in an
auto ride to Dyersburg last Friday
The primary object was to visit DR..
w. Powell, who is living with one
of his married daughters there, and
is very low. 1t is not expected that
he will survive.
DR.. R. w. Powell Dob, as he was
Familiarity KNOWN was well known
by the people of this section, for he
was raised out here in the vicinity
of North Union, where he received
most, if not all, his education, though
there is no school there now.
DR.. Powell was a man for whom
nature had done great deal. He
was man of more than ordinary in
tellect, quick in his thoughts and
largely endowed with mother wit.
If he had turned his attention in
early life to education and the ac-
emulation of knowledge and in
formation, he would have been one
of the most intellectual and smart
est men of the country.
He was not success in life in a
financial way, but made a great
many friends as he was passing up
and down the walkwayo of life, and
he always seemed to enjoy the COM
pany of his friends as much as any
one we ever saw.
Though he had his faults, like
other men, yet great many men
and women, aside from his own sons
and daughters, will be panied in
heart when they hear of his death.
Since writing the above we have
learned that DR.. Powell breathed his
last and passed away on Monday
afternoon, June II, about one
o'clock. His remains were brought
back to North Union, where he was
raised and where he received his
education, for burial on Tuesday,

Letter From Florida.

My Dear Mr.. Baird: l often see
in The Commercial comments or
products brought to your Office. Now
Pm sending you something, the like
of which I'm sure you have never
seen. had heard of cowpeas that
grew to be one yard long. OF course
l doubted the truth of the statement
but seeing is believing. To-day one
of my neighbors called me to come
and see her peas in the her garden.
found the vines with leaves like
the regular cow peas and pole beans
combined, running from ten to
twelve feet high on poles of bamboo
cane. The peas only two in a
bunch were hanging like pole beans.
The pea pod I'm sending you is a
little over three-fourths yard long.
Had the land been fortified I'm sure
the pod would have reached the yard
limit. These are used when quite
young as snaps" as we call string
beans, and are very palatable.
This is wonderful country; we've
had vegetables and fruit the year
round, as everyone has had to do
his "bit" of gardening and farming.
A few small homegrown peaches,
luscious plums, water melons and
figs are now on the market. Florida,
you know, is the land of birds and
flowers all the time. l love Florida,
my adopted State, but dear old Ten
nessee more. My heart is right there
with you dear folks whenever 1 read
of so many of my school boys going
to war, or being somewhere in
France; and my heart aches and
tears fall in sympathy with the par
ents of those boys who will not re-
turn from lover there" We people
here on the Atlantic Coast are for
chilly impressed with the submcrine
menace. as three submarines were
sighted Saturday from the Light
House only three miles from the
shore. Excitement ran high when
the news was phoned from the beach
to the town. Airplanes now hourly
patrol the coast and a new base will
be established here at the inlet
where the Light House stands on the
point of the penn. If you will look
on your map, you will see that the
ocean breaks across a narrow strip
of land near Jacksonville, forming
river which extends down to Coron-
ado Beech just across the river from
New Smyrna. Between the river
and the ocean the strip of land is
called the pennensula," and is from
to two miles wide. Here
at Coronado Beech the ocean breaks
across this penn, letting the water
into the river, thus making what is
called the inlet. Out from this inlet
the submarines were seen. To-day
news came that very large subma-
rine was being towed into Jackson
vile harbor from the inlet into the
st. Johns River. 1t probably was
captured while trying to mako the
channel. Should a submarine enter
either inlet and ply the river from
Jacksonville to Miami much damage
might be done ands important in
formation gained.
The Red Cross work here, az there, |
goes on with undated zeal, and then |
unites us all in one common work |
for humanity. No north, no south,
no east, no west, but for God and |
native land.
Best regards to Mrs. Baird and |
the children. Please excuse this long
TRADE. l expected to tell you only |
about the cow peas, but the other
things just cropped in unconsciously. |
Sincerely, your friend,

KANSAS NEEDS SILOS

Kansas needs more silos this year
in order that the rough feeds that
are produced may be utilized to the
best advantage. Some may say that
it costs too much to build silo now.
A silo that cost $3.50 before the war
broke out can be bought for $500
now-an increase of $3.50 or less
than so per cent. Alfalfa hay, corn,
sorghums, and other feeds are worth
twice as much or more than they
were before the war. Therefore if a
silo was a good investment then it
is even a better investment now, and
on beef or dairy farm of 100 acres
or more often will pay for itself in
one year in the amount of feed
saved and the increased production
of beef and butter. Less bushels of
corn or wheat will buy silo now
than before the war.
Not only is the silo good invest
ment because it cheapens the produc-
ton of meat and milk, but silo now
is an emblem of patriotic conserva-
ton and utilization of feed crops.
One acre of corn or sorghums in a
silo is worth one and one-half to
two acres in the field. The interlock-
ing cement stave silo is for sale by
The Equity Exchange Association.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
IS MAKING GOOD

Whatever a persons opinion Of the
Federal Land Bank may be, it must
be admitted that from a standpoint
Of helping the farmers Of Western
Kansas to get cheap money it has
been success.
The local secretary Of the Liberal
National Farm Loan Association,
Harry G. Armstrong, is authority for
the statement that since the Bank be-
gan loaning to the farmers Of this vi
entity Just about one year ago it has
loaned to them 100000 at 51s per
cent interest on the amortization
plan of two payments each year pay
ing out in SAN years, with privilege
of paying all after five years.
This besides a number of uncom-
pleted loans and applications now on
hand. The farmers taking the loans
are satisfied with their loans and in
only one or two cases has there been
dissatisfaction over the amount
loaned.
July 18th marked the close Of the
second year since the passage Of the
farm loan act. The first year was
one of organization, the year just
closed one Of getting the organization
to working. The machinery of the
organization has been adjusted and
improved until loans can be made
more quickly than at first.
Any farmer farming the land and
with good title can get as much
money on the land and at the lowest
rate ever offered to western Kansas
farmers.
The payments due on the loans are
being paid in, creating fund to be
reloaned, and as the farmers are not
purchasing new land as rapidly as
few years ago, there is not the de-
mand for new loans there was, and
as result the bank has plenty Of
money on hand to loan at the present
time.

PLANNING HOUSES FOR
CIVIL SERVICE employees
Government TO Erect ..Rooming
Houses and Restaurants
to Care fer Workers

J. d. Conard, president Of the Salt
City Business college, Hutchinson,
Kansas, has received the following
communication from John A. Nell
haney, president Of the United States
Civil Service commission, which ex-
plains itself:
The United States Civil Service
commission announces that it is now
in position to state definitely to the
public that steps will be taken to
relieve the congested living condi-
tions at Washington, which have been
an obstacle in the way Of recruiting
the civil service to meet war needs.
The Commission is advised by the De-
partment of Labor that the erection
Of temporary hotels and restaurants
to be conducted under government
supervision for the use Of federal en-
ployees in Washington will begin
within few days.
It is expected that the first units
will be ready for occupancy early
in September. Accommodations will
first be provided for approximately
5000 persons. Additional accommo-
dations will be provided as they are
needed. Each room will be arranged
for the occupancy of but one person.
In the meantime, the Room registra-
ton office, which is conducted by the
District Of Columbia Council of De-
Tense, is able to provide rooming and
boarding accommodations for the
new appointees. At the latest report
the Room Registration Office had on
its lists more than 5000 rooms which
had been inspected and found avail
able for Government employees.
Those who arrive on late trains
may find accommodations for the
night, by applying at the booth Of the
District Council Of Defense, which is
prominently situated in the Union
station, where all trains arrive.
