In order to meet tie demand of
the time which calls for an i'm

ans Missionary Council OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
decided at its annual meeting re-
Gently to develop large plans for Sc
curing new recruits for the home

ton was made which would provide
for a larger teaching force, and for
larger building room at the Scarritt
Bible and Training School in Kan
sas CITY. Mo. The Scarritt Institu-
ton represents the "hnlshing
school" for the missionaries OF the
Southern Methodist Church and IN
order to take care of the young men
and women who are expected to vol
unteer for missionary work IN the
immediate future, the training
school must necessarily develop a
larger capacity for instructing
them. =, A..

Profit From One Pig, $587

Ample proof that pig clubs pay
is contained in reports being receiv-
ed continually by the United States
Department of Agriculture from
club leaders. One report recently
received tells of the success OF a
Tennessee boy who, in May, 1919.
invested $50 in a pure-bred gilt, and
now figures his profits at S5s7.35;;
She farrowed seven pigs, part OF
which the boy sold for $13S: With
this money he purchased a boar OF
excellent breeding, which he exhib-
tied at the East Tennessee Division
fair, winning the grand champion
ship of the breed over all exhibits.
He won sS7 in prizes, s45 of it in
competition with experienced farm
2rs. His animals are now valued at
s525. This, with the money from
sales and prize winnings, amount to
s745, from which he deducts $751;
IS for feed and care, leaving a pro-
fit of s587.35.

BEER AND WINE.
COME UNDER BAN
UNCLE SAM PROPOSES LITER
AL ENFORCEMENT OF THE
PROHIBITION ACT

New York, April 24.-The Gov
eminent proposes a literal enforce

Act, including a ban on production
and sale of all beers and wines,

ed last week through special rep
resentative in the federal court.
While no steps will be taken to
prevent brewing epnding court

tutionality raised by the brewers
of the district, they will operate IN
peril Of prosecution, according to
the statement of William G. Fits,
special counsel appearing for At
torney General Palmer in the beer
litigation.
The attorney advised Judge A. N.
Hand, who heard arguments on the
governments motion to dismiss the
suit brought on behalf Of the na-
tional brewing interests by the ia
cob Hoffman Brewing Company to
restrain the federal authorities
from interfering with its produc-
ton of 2X per cent beer, that the
Department Of Justice did not know
and did not care whether beer OF
the strength indicated was inton-
eating.
The law prohibited sale after
June 80 of distilled beverages, as
we'll as manufacture after April 20,
and sale after June 80 of "beer,
wine and other intoxicating malt or
vinous liquors for beverage purpos-
es," pending the rehabilitation Of
the military forces, he said. The
words "beer" and "wine" were not
qualified, in the opinion Of the gov
9nment, he added, and the appar-
ent congressional intention to stop
the "waste" of grains and fruits in
the production in any strength
would be enforced.
With "half the world" looking to
America for food, Mr.. Fits con-
tended, the necessity of its, conserv-
alton was greater "even than on the
day of Chateau-Thierry," and it
was equally essential that liquors
be withheld from public sale while
the army and navy were undergo
ing rehabilitation.
To this statement Judge Hand
added his opinion that the war was
of the complainant's contentious.

LOOK OUT FOR
WARTY POTATOES

Mr.. Lee Bonar, Field Assistant
Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept.
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., was
in Greeneville August goth looking
for a new and very serious disease
of Irish potatoes which has lately
been introduced into this country
from Europe, where it is serious
menace TO the potato industry.
This disease causes rough, spongy
outgrowths on the tubers, which very
in size and are brown or black in
color. The disease does not affect
the vines, but must be looked for at
digging times.
1t sometimes causes loss of all the
tubers in hill and regularly large
percentage. Soil which becomes in
tested with the parasite of this dis
ease becomes unfit for potato culture
for several years.
Any suspicious cases should be re-
ported and specimens sent to the
Plant Pathologist, Experimental Sta
ton, at Knoxville, or to Plant Dis
