lions of dollars and the employ

some salaries and wages, we think
it high time to call attention to the
fact that the biggest milestone hang

States is about one gallon a year.
This is a statistical way of saying
the annual normal consumption is
1OO,O00,000 gallons. AT this rate
the available supply, figuring from
February /, will last little more
than eighteen months, but expert
authorities say that the odd 1000
900 will be absorbed during the Is
months period and that all the
whisky left on Aug. /, 1919, will be
in private hands and that 1t will
not be much at that.-Ft. Worth

Makes Fine Record
OF Potato Crops

Union City, Tenn, Mar. &C. G.
(Bud) Thomas makes the state
ment that he has grown Irish pota-
toes successfully on the same spot
of ground for twenty-eight consecu-
tive years, and tina. he has not been
without potatoes of his own produc-
ton in thirty-fve years. After the
potatoes begin to come up, he puts
about 6 inches of straw over the en-.
tire patch and works them no more,
and has no weeds. The straw from
year to year keeps the ground very
rich, and nobody grows more nor
finer potatoes than he does.
