Editor Palladium: A little article
IN Palladium Of the 18th: "U. S. calls
upon everybody to raise poultry"
There are many back yards which
have space enough for at least a doz-
en- chickens, and room for a little
garden, and a play spot for the kid
dies. From what I see kiddies don t
play in backwards in this town. They
are turned out in front to impose up
on the neighbors with their noisy wag-
ons, and in fact anything that will
make a noise. Mothers. you surely
know the neighbors don't want your
children in front of their homes. You
also know children allowed to run the
streets are impudent. and usually
have to be looked after by the police
AS some of you know, ! saw those
same children in front of homes of
sick people with everything that
would make a noise If you order
them away they come back with.
My Pop said you don't own the side
walk"
And Sunday Is no eAception-no re-
spect for God Or man. You have to
get off the walks. so young America
can have full sway. I really believe
if the paid officials of this city were
doing their duty such conditions
would not exist. It surely is no credit
to the town | also think it shame
for respectable people to submit to
such indgnities. Just because some
people have that Old Bill Kaiser idea
that might makes right. For the
good of the children / think it high
time for some one to call halt
AN OBSERVER.
Editors note: 1t is generally &C
cepted that children in Richmond de-
port themselves with propriety We
believe our CORES pondent has exag-
gerated the situation. If children are
asked to Quitp laying in front of
house that harbors sick person they
usually comply Children are bolster
Gus. That's the nature of childhood
They must romp and play. The side
walks are broad enough to accommo-
date both playing children and pede-
strians We cannot conceive of a
hundred healthy children sitting de-
murely and sedately in back yards A
healthy normal child will not confine
asked to quit playing in front of a
yard. If it encroaches on the side
walks. adults want to remember that
when they were children, they played
wherever fancy dictated. Let the chill
dren have a good time.

American doctors and nurses are
spreading through France good Ameri-

babies. But American hygiene, to win
converts in France, must look and

the posters and charts the Americans
OF the "Croix-Rouge" have put up.

published by the Children's Bureau of

WINTER COVER CROPS
Time Yet to Use Some of Them, IfQuiCk
Action Is Employed.

Heretofore only few farmers havs
made it a practice to have their farms
covered with some green crop during
the winter. This is practice thai
should not be neglected, for in leaving
the soil bare during the fall and win
ter months, there is more of the plant
foods leacheo and washed away thar
the crops take up during the summer
season. BY growing some cover CROP
during the winter season answers a
twofold purpose, that is, protecting
the soil and at the same time growing
crop.
Some of the cover crops we can
grow here on the plateau are crimson
clover, hairy vetch, rye, winter oats
and wheat. There is no excuse for
every farmer in the county not having
one or more of these crops growing on
his soils during the winter. If you
will try these crops and give them a
fair trial, you will never do without
a cover crop again.
| hope every farmer, large or small,
in the county will arrange to sow
some crimson clover this fall. If you
have not grown any, just try it on a
small scale, but if you have grown it,
and given it fair trial, you will do
well to increase your acreage.
| hope there will be quite a lot of
winter oats sowed this fall winter
sown yield great deal better than
the spring oats. Be sure to prepare
the soil we'll before sowing, and SOW
early, preferably the first halt of Sep
tember so they will be sure to get a
good stand before freezing weather
begins.
A mixtuia of rye and crimson clover
makes vCvy desirable cover crop for
winter pas re, and a heavy crop to
turn under in the spring. This adds
humus to :ee soil and increases the
water hol|,ng capacity of the soil, SO
when we hrv We drv season the drOuth
does not injure our crops SO badly.
Vetch and oats make a splendid crop
for early hay, is OF good quality, al
yielos we'll. Of course non legume
crop like rye, oats, wheat or barley
does not add niti ogen to the soil, but
it does save great deal OF nitrogen
from being leached and washed away,
and adds humus when turned under.
BY growing legume crop, such as
crimson clover or yetch, we can add
much fertility to our soil. A good
crop of crimson clover when turned
under will add to the soil from 60 to
rs POUNDS of nitrogen that will !, cost
you from 80 to 4O cents per pound.
Nitrogen is one Of the most important
plant foods we have, and we find
more of the sol IS deficient in this
element of plant food than any of the
others.
Let our slogan be a green crop on
every available acre in Cumbrland
County.
Yours for better farming,
W. G. Adsmond,
County Agent. ,,

NICHOLAS HOUSE BURNS.
Saturday Night at Eight O'clock Loss
Covered by Insurance.

The Nicholas House, the leading no
tel of CIossvills was entirely de
stroyed by fire Saturday night betweer
eight and ten o'clock. 1t caught
from defective f1ue in the seconc
story over the dining room and flames
were so far advanced when discovered
that all efforts to put it cut were
without avail.
The people of Crossville rushed to
the scene and with willing hands re.
moved considerable portion of the
furniture and by a strenuous effort
saved the sample room to the rear OF
the hotel and thereby also saved the
cottage occupied by Ira Smith ano
mother. Practically all their house.
hold effects were removed from the
building ter safety but ss the flames
did not reach their house they suffered
nothing more than the trouble Of hand
ling their furniture twice and in that
they were assisted by friends.
The hotel was being conducted by E.
o. Hembree and Dock Hinch. Mr..
Hinch is an unmarried man, but Mr..
Hembree had moved his family and
household goods into the hotel. Near
ly all his effects were saved along with
a portion of what belonged to the no.
tel proper
The heat was so intense at one time
as to endanger the Tennessee Central
depot on the opposite side OF the
street. A hearty and willing brigade
carried water and threw on the build
ings that were in the danger zone and
lent energetic aid to remove such fur
niture as time would permit. The
building being frame structure, 1t
burned very rapidly AMI i. quickly be-
came untenable for even the most
venturesome firefighter.
The hctei was owned by Gus Hinch,
who is now with the American Expe-
dictionary Forces in France. 1t was
insured for s5, 900, which will practi-
cally cover all direct loss. Mr.. Hinch
bought the building about two years
ago of j. Fl. Beeson. The purchase
price was $4,000. 1he location is the
best in town for hotel, but owing to
the fact that A. E. Payne is now
erecting $4,000 brick hotel near the
depot, it is not likely the hotel will be
rebuilt at an early date, if at all.
f. o. Hembree has moved his family
to the g. M. Martin cottage on Main
street just north of the Nicholas House
site. Mr.. Hinch has no plans for the
future as he is subject to the draft
and may be called to the colors any
time.

THE EDITOR FEASTS.
Entertained at HOspitabIe Home of Dock
Smith on Leggett Farm.

The editor of the Chronicle visited
at the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dock Smith. on the Leggett
{ farm, six miles west of Crossville
Sunday. While there we were treated
most royalty tc ripe" yellow legged
chick ems, watermelons and all manner
of good things to eat. We also had
the pleasure of visiting with Mr.. and
Mrs. E. W. Grissom, who were guests
of the Smiths.
We found here a splendidly titled
farm that showed the marks of ability
as farmer that were very gratifying.
The crops were clean and above the
average in point of production. One
field of eight acres of corn would cas-
lily produce 40 bushels to the acre
In the barn was nearly 40 tons of
good hay, 25 of which were cut from
six acres of clover and timothy
meadow at the first cutting. The sec
ond cutting was reduced by dry wealth
er until only six or seven tons were
secure d. He has at least 35 tons of
first class hay that would easily bring
$35 to $40 ton on the market.
Since Mr.. Smith is only renting the
farm he says there are many things
that would add both to the appear
ance and productiveness OF the farm
that he would do if he owned it, but
which he cannot afford to do as it Is.
Such farmers as Mr.. Smith stand very
much in their own light when they
assume the position of a renter IN this
country, where land is so cheap. He
is seriously considering Purchasing a
farm in the near future.
On our way home we came by the
farm of j. E. Converse and there we
saw where he had, within a few years,
opened up farm in the woods and by
reclaiming wild meadows, to such an
extent that his road to prosperity and
successful farming is now very plain.
Mr.. Converse is applying modern
farming methods with good success.
