OFFICER CHAS. BAKER
With Family Spending Vacation
In This County.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Baker and
family are spending vacation
days with relatives in this coun-
ty. Mr.. Baker is an officer on
the Chattanooga police force and
has frequently been over here
among the good people of the
valley, his wife being a sister of
Mrs. Orpha Coppinger of Little
Sequatchie Cove. He reports it
the big time of his life to be over
here, with plenty to eat. but says
you can't get anywhere when you
start out walking, owing to the
habit everybody has of enter
changing pleasant greeting and
friendly chitchat. 1t is an old
time custom of Sequachee Val
ley, but very pleasant and decld-

Crossville, Aug. 29.-Farms
changed hands in Cumberland
county last week at a lively rate.
JosephBaker, of Jefferson county.
purchased the Lowery farm, COM
prisinq 439 acres, from j. B.
johnson. 1t will be developed as
a stock farm. His nephew, Jas.
Schneider, purchased the 0. H.
Overdell farm, comprising 118
sores, including the stock and
growing crops. j. N. Gryder,
also of jefferson county, pur-
chased the Lincoln Hyder farm
near Vandever, from J. @.
Wyatt, consisting of 1876 acres.
James Putnam purchased the
Overdell farm near Vandever,
comprising 100 acres. j. H.
Findley has purchased $500 acres
of farm and timber lands in the
county, including the Redwine
farm on Grassy Cove road. S.
w. Rose, who went to Idaho to
locate, has returned and has pur-
chased a portion of the farm
back, which he sold to Michael
Hale. These lands are selling at
$40 an acre and up, but when
cleared and put in growing crops,
are easily worth $50 an acre and
up. In fact, persons who see
their productivity are surprised
both at the results and that the
lands sell for so little.

Shelton of Inman, was knocked
into ditch at Kimball Friday
night by a car driven by a youth,
Raulston Mcdaniel. of South

from So. Pittsburg. and met Nc
Daniel near a culvert on the high

avoid a collision, as did Shelton,
also, but his car, at the rate of
speed he was driving seems to
have become unmanageable and
it turned back into the middle of
the road, knocking Shelton's car
into the ditch with such force that
it was left across the ditch with
one wheel smashed, and other
damage. Mrs. Sallie Holloway,
an aged lady, who was return
ing with Shelton, was knocked
about in the car so roughly that
she was badly injured with
bruises and sprains, but no bones
broken. Another car was Sc
cured to convey her to her home
at Looney's Creek.

| will try to get a few dots to-
gether to send the News this
morning. There is not much do
ing locally, crops are all made,
grain about all threshed. hay
about all put up. Fruits and
melons are leading articles of at
tention now. Sweet potatoes are
coming in some. | think the
greatest interest is centered on
the cotton crop. Some say it is
ruined; others say it is not hurt
very much. As the cotton is the
greatest money crop of this coun-
try, they naturally watch it very
closely. .a
Nationally there is quite a lot
of confusion and wrangling over
everything. 1t seems that every
thing and everybody is in an un-
settled state of affairs. | know
it is hard to get along and live, it
is so all the way along the line
from top to bottom. We had all
just as well make up our minds
to wait little while until things
adjust themselves. Let the peo-
pie all make up their minds to
each one bear their part of the
burden and make such sacrifices
as are necessary to get along at
this time. There is a lot spent
on investigating strikes, etc., and
the deficiency in the cost of liv-
ing, and after all of the investi-
cations and probing they are no
farther along than when they be-
gan. Why should we depend on
government legislation? Our
government is nothing but men,
just men, and they have their
idea as to the right thing to do to
bring about desired results.
They may be right and they may
be mistaken. One thing certain
there will never be any adjust
ment that will be satisfactory to
all as long as there is so much
confusion among the people, and
room for grafters as there is at
present. Take the railroads and
pay every dollar for operating
and allow the owners
nothing for the use of the money |
they have invested, The en-
ployes would not be satisfied and
if the employees would agree to
let their salaries be cut in half |
that would not give satisfaction.
My way of thinking is for every
one to bear their part of the bur-
don in labor and capital.
Imust stop and help devour a
watermelon. | just now bought
one for 40c. Weighs about 35 or
40 lbs.

of them that know or / would
oh, yes, guess | would. Any
way would not allow them to

ed to write a letter as often as
three times a month.

PEDIGREE is NOT ESSENTIAL
Officials Of Department Of Agriculture
Are Trying to Eliminate
inferior Animals.

lPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Thousands OF purebred scrubs are
scattered through this country, accord
ing to hog-extension men OF the United
States Department of Agriculture, who
are devoting their efforts to elimi-
mating inferior pedigreed animals.
This, they say, applies to all kinds of
live stock, but is perhaps more general
in the hog industry. Pedigrees are
necessary and valuable to the hog
breeder. yet the pedigree is the means
of fooling a lot of farmers, particular
ly those who are about to start into
the pure-bred hog business and who
have not had enough experience in
judging to select animals of good
standard type. Buyers should not be
contented simply with pure-bred AMI
mails, but should see in addition that
the animals they are about to pur-
chase have good quality, say the de-
partment hog specialists.

his vocal cords or mouth.

fectly legible, but the signature will
prove to be one of those nonforgeable
jumbles of pen strokes which are the
delight and pet hobby of the writer
and the despair of every hopeful
reader.
Silent letters in names must always
be taken into consideration. The name
of Hlynack is a good example where
the silent letter is the key letter for
searching, but at the same time it is
particularly dead in pronunciation.
This name is pronounced Lynack, and
in the hurry of writing, often names
are misspelled, when on the surface
they appear very simple and correct.
Foreign names are often typed in
correctly because the soldier at the
time of making application for insur-
ance may have been unfamiliar with
English and made mistake in re-
peating the spelling to the army or
navy clerk. This is a great source of
worry to searchers.
Names Spelled Many Ways.
Frequently one mans name may be
spelled in four or five ways. If rela-
tives parents or someone interested
in his welfare inquiries about his insur-
ance, each will spell it in their way.
Girl searchers must determine which
is the correct spelling and then YER
ify it from the mans original sigma
ture.
A clever piece of deduction was that
in the case of Andrew Good of North
Dakota. His name could not be found

Finally the young woman decided
to address letter to the man at Hast

This did not put an end to the

The Spruce division was a part of

Miss Blue Sweater secured a roster
of the Spruce division from the war
department and searched through the
nearly 10000 names for man who
lived at Hastings, Pa.
In this she was rewarded. The list
showed only one man from that town.
He was Herman Miller. With this in
formation the young woman had no
difficulty in finding the card of Her
man Miller, (policy number 1877, 155 ;
