$I082 on Sc head. This is the
highest average ever made in the
South in any sale of any breed.
She Angus sale held at the Un-
ion Stock Yards averaged $I7I
on the head. The Hereford sale
netted the highest average of
the series of three sales at the
Stock Yards. 1t may be said
that the Hereford breeders of
fered their cattle in a higher de-
gree of finish. Bidding was
spirited, and the cattle found a
ready market.
1t is noteworthy to mention
that comparatively few of the
cattle left the State. aItho there
were a large numbkr of buyers
present from many sections out
side the State. The foundation
was laid for a dozen new herds
in Middle Tennessee. These cat
tie were placed with young men
taking up the breeding of cattle
for the first time.
County Agent Wright, Mar
shall County, was present with
buyers and 3 of the best and
highest priced bulls offered in
the sales went to Marshall Coun-
ty. County agents Wright and
Hammoe had their expenses
paid to the sales by the Breeders
Association, since it was thru
their influence that buyers from
their counties were present.
Col. P. M. Grose did excellent
work on the block during the
series of sales.

tuberculosis Can Only Be
Cured By Right Living.

Another old fashioned medi-
cal superstition has been ex-
ploded. The odious onion can
never again be used to cure
tuberculosis. The old timers
who have sworn by the virtues
of this tear producing product of
the garden will have to make up
their mind that they have hum
bvgged themselves, for the onion
has been investigated, classified,
analysed, and everything else
has been done to it that scient-
lists could think of, and in the
end it was found to be only an
onion on-pleasing to the palates of
some. however displeasing to
the noses of their friends. 1t is
without any medicinal quality
that make it an aid in the treat
ment of tuberculosis. So smash
goes another pet superstition.
How the onion was scientifl-
cally tested is interesting. Bac-
teriologists martyred some gui-
nea-pigs who were offered on
the alter of science and the
thorough tests made all showed
the onion fails, NOT only in pre-
venting the development OF
tuberculosis but also has not the
slightest curative effects.
tuberculosis can only be cured
by right living and it can bt
stamped out if the people in
fected with the disease warned
in time so that they may cure
themselves and at the same time
keep from innoculating theil
families and their friends witt
the deadly little T-B bug.
This is the message the Ten

Dear Sentinel and readers:

Once more | have taken an
extra hitch on my belt, and de-
cided to tell the world, that
since doing my time with Uncle
Sam, that being of unsound
mind? and of my own freewill
and without force, have taken
up my abode in the good old
Irish town of Shamrock. Okla,
This is some burg, with pop
ulation of something over 5000
men, women, children and Ford
cars. Yea; It's a beautiful town
of "wops" and Gold Bricks.
Cheap, well | should say SO.
Anyone can buy a breakfast of
three thin slices of bacon and
two cold storage eggs for one
reund dollar, with fifteen cents
extra for coffee, and the bacon
was something near ripe in 1900.
and the eggs are all too ripe.
Then, one can buy pair of
shoes guaranteed to contain no
leather and to wear just two
weeks for the small sum of SIG.
! am unable to think in figures
large enough to buy o suit of
clothes | imagine one would
have to work something near 9
years and borrow all of fifteen
cents to buy a suit that would
hold together until the merchant
wrapped it up.
Ii there's anyone in Jackson
county thinking of hunting some
place where living is cheap, and
have great desire to be sepa-
rrted from their bank roll, send
them to Shamrock. I'll abso-
lutely guarantee that they will
get separated from any Jack"
they may have, for they have all
the methods ever invented in
operation here. If the mer-
chants fail, then the ''hold up"
gang will get it. You see they

while you journey among the
stars.
Yep, she's some burg. Yea,
it's beautiful indeed. Unpaved
streets, where the mud never
gets over knee deep, unless
there's a real hard rain, and
then there's the beautiful foun-
tain of germ laden water, where
man and beast drink from the
same container.

Agriculture In Tennessee I'm
proving.

The Hampton Angus sale. held
as one of the series at Woodlawn
Farms, Nashville, made the
highest average ever made in
the South in any sale of any
breed.
One year ago there were no
houses for fre-curing potatoes in
Shelby County Today there
are 10. Cther counties show
equal growth along this line.
For the first time Tennessee
dairy products won medals at
the National Dairy Show, which
was held at Chicago this year.
Polk County was second in the
United States in which survey
being made by the Interchurch
w rid Movement was completed.
Two years ago Wears Valley.
Sewer County, had no silos. At
present there are 10.
Numerous counties have in
creased their appropriation for
county agents. This is proof of
the interest the people are TAX
ing in the work. Better meth
DDS of farming are fast replac-
ing old ones.
What about Jackson County,
are farmers progressing? Would
like to receive article on. what
progress has been made, if any.
If you think the world is grow

Painter and All His Work Took a
Tumble to Earth.
A painter, whose name is withheld,
high at work painting the water tank
at the Wanless mine at Bull, Mimi,
the other day, felt Juggling at the
bottom of the ladder. He looked down
and there, scratching her back, was
black COW.
His probable fate flashed into his
mind. Bossy took one look upward
toward the heavens and saw the
painter descending. This time the COW
became frightened and ran her horns
through the lower rungs of the ladder.
OF she went in a gallop, carrying
the ladder, painter, paint and all. The
louder he yelled the faster the COW
went. 1t was but q short travel to
earth for the painter, who struck the
ground with resounding thud. He
escaped uninjured with his feelings
ruffled.
To make matters worse Bossy re-
tanned ownership Of the ladder, which
she carried away on her horns. She
was caught after she had gone quar-
ter of a mile.

In Chicagos municipal law and order

the intricacies of a crime problem
which might be entitled "The Mystery
Of Migely's Missing Machine, or
Marie's Mishap."
It all started when someone made off
with the automobile of William J..
NICELY. Two days ago Migely's hopes
ran high when the Grand Crossing po-
lice notified him they had his car, safe
and sound, outside the station. He
hurried to the station. There was no
car there.

said the sergeant, scratching a puzzled
pate. 1T does beat all how that car
gets away, don't it?"
NICELY went home.
Coppers Strike Marie.
Came Joseph Kartrilia to the South
Chicago station wailing Of his woe.
"They struck my Marie" he moaned.
'"They were coppers, too. 1 saw 'em.
There were four of them in the car,
two coppers, fireman, and q lady.
And they didn't have no regard for
speed. They footed their horn and ex-
pected Marie to run out of the way.
She can't run no more They hit 'er in
the side and knocked 'er down and
wrecked the car. And then they left
Marie layin' in the street and hoped
a street car. I had an awful time get
tin Marie home"
"Gosh, I'd a thought she'd been dead
by that time!" exclaimed the sergeant
did you carry 'er home?"
Garry 'er! She weighs a thousand
pounds. Marie's cow"
Find MioeIy's Car.
Later the police found Migely's car
at East Ninety-eighth street and Tor
rance avenue. The radiator was
smashed where Marie, after the man.
ner Of her kline, had attempted to de-
fend herself in the only way she knew,
head on and horns down. She was
not quite spry enough and the car
caught her amidships.
"Marie's horn was broken and she's
hurt inside and she'll have to be shot,"
Mrs. Anna Kartrilia wept.
"How about my carr" asked NICELY.
who's going to pay for that?"
"Marie couldn't help it. 1t wasn't
her fault" retorted Mrs. Kartrilia.

PER|LED BY NIGHTMARE:
SAVED BY OLD Scotch
Sight of "Wee Doech an Doris

Window.

A guest at New York hotel afflict-
ed with an aggravated case of inerow-
Ing chagrin, decided to lend it ALL"
Inc river was too far, and he did not
happen to have pistol with him.
Inc actors were striking and he
couldn't attend bedroom farce and
be bored to death. There was moth
ing left for him to do but jump out
of the window.
He climbed over the sill, lowered
himself and hung there holding on
with his fngertips. He may have been
praying. He may have been wonder
ing If he had forgotten anything. AS
he was hanging man in room across
the court caught sight of the figure
and running to the telephone notified
the management that one of their
guests was about to drop from the
sixth floor.
There was a general rush for the
room of the guest who had decided to
play the role Of leading man at a post
morte'n. An entrance was effected,
but the man on the other side of the
window warned the would-be rescuers
that II they advanced a step further
he would Immediately lay claim to his
harp, halo and wings by releasing his
hold.
They pleaded with him. They ca
joled. But the guest. tired Of life,
only smiled and said that when he
counted ten he would be on his way.
He began to count. When he reach
ed six he stopped. His lower jaw
dropped. His eyes were fixed in q
steady stare at something in the rear
Of the room. Everyone turned, and
there in the doorway stood one Of the
guests holding aloft "wee deoch an
dOris.'
He made no resistance as they pull
ed him back into the room. He
dropped limp on the bed and they pour
ed the whisky past his white lips.
A little later as he was dressing,
preparatory to leaving the hostelry, he
told the house detective he must have
had nightmare.
II ate some grapes for dinner" he
said. 'and must have swallowed a
pit"
"You probably did, said the house
