PRESIDENT WILSON
RETURNS TO WASHINGTON

DR.. Cary I. Grayson, the Prcsi-
dents personal physician, directs
him to cancel all engagements, to re-
turn to Washington and take a
needed rest. The Presidents condi-
tion is not at all serious at this time,
but that he may recuperate from
overwork this course became neces-
sary. Secretary Tumulty issued this
statement:
Upon the advice of Rear Admiral
Cary 7. Grayson, the Presidents
physician, it has become necessary
to cancel all the Presidents engage
ments for the imemdiate future"
DIR. Grayson's statement follows:

THOSE MORROW MORALISTS

Some of our Republican friends
who have been in the habit of hold
ing up their hands in holy horror at
Governor Stanley, because of his at
titude on the temperance question,
are now whooping it up for Morrow,
who has taken more drinks behind
the door and in the midnight poker
room than Owsley Stanley ever did.
Mind you, we are not justifying
Owsley Stanley. We did not approve
of his course and did not hesitate
to say so, but as between Ed. Nor
row and Stanley we feel safe in say
ing that the Morrow kettle can't say
back to the Stanley pot. They are
both tarred with the same stick.
On the other hand, James B. Black
is a man of good habits, has always
been found ON the side of the right,
temperance and good morals. How
any man who is not blinded by par
tisanship can support Morrow as
against Black on moral grounds, we
cannot see. If they put it on party
grounds they may be able to justify
themselves, but you generally hear
them disclaiming the political side of
it, that is, when trying to hoodwink
Democrats, and trying to assume
that partisan attitude they are

late CORN CROP
PROMISES WELL
West Tennessee Crops Better
Than in other Sections,
Says F. M. McRee.

"The condition OF the crops generally
in this end Of the state is much better
than IN Middle or East Tennessee"
said Or. F. NJ. McRee. commissioner Of
agriculture, Monday.
DR.. McRee has recently returned from
a trip over the state. He found that
after the prolonged spring rains the
drought which followed in many coun-
ties in the eastern division had caused
much damage to crops there.
Both Middle and East Tennessee
farmers raise much wheat" he said,
but the reports In my office show
that they have lost money on IL this
year, for the average yield in Tennes-
see is only nine bushels to the acre.
Last year the average was only 10
bushels. That condition must be REM
edied, for It costs at least SIS an acre
IN Tennessee to produce an acre Of
wheat. The remedy is in better farm
ing, rotation OF crops, p~asturing land
to hogs and cattle, before wheat is
sown. on my own farm in Oblon coun-
the acre but ought to have done bet
ter, Many farms In Ohion have pro-
duced from rs TO 81 bushels.
Corn generally in East Tennessee
will be good IL the season is long
enough, and other crops generally VII
be about on q fair average"

with the people who point to the farm
er as a profiteer. The farmer is only
making a fair living" he said, but
it is the system Of distribution that
