Farm Labor Needs Great.

The farm labor question has be-
come so acute that farm hands may
be shifted from one part of the coun-
try to another to relieve the situation.
This is according to officials of the
State Department of Labor, who say
that men from States that have an
excess of farm hands will probably
be called upon to supply their sister
States that are not so fortunate.

Immediately the well went dry. There
are two more wells but they furnish
only small per cent of our supply.
These wells are now in use and from
them we are now getting a limited

SHAFT BROS.
Death of Another Soldier.

Again the death summons has
come and Ellie Hargett, of Camp
Coventry, son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. L.
Hargett, of Obion, has answered the
call. He was a young man, % years
old. He answered his country's call
and was stationed at Camp Wads-
worth, S. C. He was doing his best
service in the medical corps. Ellie
was man of fine physical stature,
mental ability and was imbued with
a commendable ambition. He was a
boy who loved home-mother and
father. Just to know him in the
home circle and the love he cherish
ed for those he came in contact with
was pleasure. He delighted in any
effort to do something that mother
and father would appreciate. His
life was an example of a true man
hood. He was worthy of the regard
of all who knew him. His life was
appreciated and his death brings sor-
row to his friends and associates. We
feel glad to know one so dear and
so near us, striving to do what his
country required, also did what his
God required. In the army of God
he's enlisted, and there he will re-
main, for twas here he joined as a
brave and humble private in the
home of God, waiting and wearing
victor's shiny crown.
Ellie died of pneumonia and was
brought to his parents home near
Obion and his remains inferred at
Union Grove Cemetery, Rev. Fuzzell
and Rev. McLemore onducting
funeral services. Those who survive
him are his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
l.. Hargett, brother, Vester Lee
Hargett, who is now in Camp Sher-
idan, Ala, Mrs. Nola Carr, Kenton,
little Albert and Vera Hargett, a
number of relatives and friends.

Residence Burned.

The burning of the residence of B.
P. Moffatt in Troy on Saturday night,
the 18th inst, entailed considerable
loss, exclusive of the misfortune of
death.
Mr.. Moffatt carried $4,000 insur-
ance on both residence and house
hold goods. The salvage was small.
Very little was taken from the front
or main part of the building, but
quite number of articles were taken
from the dining room and kitchen.
Mr.. Moffatt had overhauled, remod.
eled and improved the house end fur
nished it thruout complete with nice
furniture and carpets.
Insurance will cover half the loss
probably, very little more, If any.

What is Needed to Spray 800 Trees.

Plan to spray, and get your spray
materials early.
A fifty-gallon barrel pump will be
the most economical sized pump for
orchards of 800 to 400 trees. The
equipment that will be necessary to
make the spray outfit complete will
include the pump, barrel, hose bands,
and couplings, Is to 20 feet of spray
hose, an 8-foot iron extension rod
with brass stop cock, and spray
nozzle. If desired, brass Y and two
nozzles can be attached to the ex-
tension rod in place of one nozzle.
Many times in spraying the or.
chard it is advisable to spray two,
rows at time when going between
the rows. This requires the services,
of two men in spraying, besides a.
man to pump and drive the team.
In this case two leads of hose will
be necessary, two extension rods, and
two nozzles, and the hose leads
should each be 25 feet long.
Where only one lead. is used, it is
more satisfactory to use the brass Y
and two nozzles. The ordinary bar
rel pump can maintain sufficient pres
sure for two nozzles. Two MOBILES
makes it possible to throw more spray
and work more rapidly than when
only one nozzle is used. Several, types
of nozzles are in common use.
The price for the outfit complete
will be in the neighborhood of $50.

Water Shortage.

We ask everyone to be careful in
the use of water, as we have to shut
the pumps down at $50 p. m. until
4:30 a. m. to keep enough to run
thru the day.
If the water is muddy in the morn
ing, draw bucket full and let it
settle. Do not let it run until it gets
clear, for by so doing you are liable
to have to do without any.
We are doing everything in our
power to remedy the trouble.
We further ask everyone to try
their cut off and if it is not in good
condition have it fixed at once. II
you do not and we have freezing
weather, your pipes are liable to
freeze and burst.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is iufiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi
ton hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is moth.
ing but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case

THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
MEETING IN NASHVILLE

Esq. S. R. Bratton, who represents
Obion County on the Board of Com
missioners of Public Highways in
Tennessee, was called to Nashville
this week to attend joint meeting
of the Federal and State Highway
Commissions. Returning home, Mr..
Bratton informs us that preparations
are being made to survey and con-
struct twelve Federal public high
ways in Tennessee, and that some
action must be taken by the coun-
ties to cooperate with the work.
Tennessee has been allotted $4,000
900, and that gives to each county,
where these highways are located
each $65,000. There is now State
tax of 10 per cent for these high
ways. That amounts to about
$4,000 for each county. Now those
counties which participate in these
good roads must appropriate the diff
ference between this tax and the
amount of the county allotment from
the State and nation. That is each
County Court must appropriate some
thing like $4,000, else tho Federal
and State money will be distributed
among those counties who make their
appropriations to the fund and the
routes will be changed accordingly.
Now, the Federal and State money
will be used first and road construc-
tion may not begin for year. So,
all that is needed for the counties
to do is to pledge their part of the
money, to be allowed when called
for.
There are to be twelve Federal
roads in Tennessee, and the road for
this part of the State, routed from
Jordan, KY, to Memphis, is classed
as the Twelfth Federal State High
way.
Now, we would suggest that the
matter be taken up by the County
Court for consideration at its jan
uary term. There is a probability
of bonds being issued to liquidate
the county's Indebtedness, and why
not embrace in this bond issue also
road bonds to meet the demand for
this Federal Highway, which is
routed Immediately thru the central
part of the county. Obion County is
amply able to do this, and the bonds
could be fioated very cheaply. Money
is now the cheapest thing there is.
Now of all times is the time to issue
bonds, and there will be plenty of
takers at a small rate of interest.

ANNUAL CLAY PIGEON SHOOT.

The annual clay pigeon shoot given by
Alexander 5. Porter. jr., for the residents
of BROOKLYN and surrounding towns, vas
held on Labor day at Nj. Porter's traps at
Great Cove Farm. There were enough
entries TO provide five squads OF i've men
each.
The competition was at twenty birds
shot IN strings OF ten and fifteen. The
winner of the first prize was Moulton
Cooper, who broke 9 birds. There vas
the for second and third prizes, and in
the shoot-on, Walter Crockett won second
and Lee F1ye third.
4 large gallery Of spectators was On
hand to enjoy the fun watching the men
try to hit the difficult flying targets. The
prizes were war savings and thrift
stamps.
After the shoot, refreshments were
served under large tent. Besides the
wives and children of the contestants who
were present, there were Mr.. PoEter's
house guests and four French officers and
a member of the Royal Flying corps of
Canada.
Mr.. Porter believes that clay pigeon
shooting should continue during the war,
as 1t improves Workmanship, quickens
the eye, and will help prospective soldiers
TO Kill more Germans, which is the par
ticulsr and enjoyable business we have on
hand at the present time. Aiso, it has
been noted OF late that trap-shooters were
in detuand in the trenches to bring down
enemy carrier pigeons, smother reason
why trsp-shooting should be kept going.
1t is hoped that after the war a gun club
will be established in Brooklin for regular
weekly shoots.
