BUSINESS NOTES

While the Japanese raw silk market
is frmer, there has been no change in
respect to prices, according TO cable
grams received yesterday. Sinshui No.
1 is being quoted at 22S0 in japan and
at $952ls in this market.
To cope with tho growing problem Of
proper wages for department store en-
ployes, the directors of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association have ap-
pointed special committee to investi-
gate wage conditions of both selling
and ronselling help in the department
stores of the country. An expert will
be engaged to gather data on the sub
ject, and the committees future actions
probably will be based upon the report
submitted by this special investigator.
Importers and dealers in natural
dyestuffs state they are experiencing
an excellent demand for virtually every
product used by tanneries. The up-
precedented demands for leather have
stimulated production at the tanrerios
and created a good call for dyeing ma.
terials. Dealers have been inconveni-
enced by shortage Of supplies Of sew
eral important items, especially log
wood, fustic, Dutch madder and divi-
divi.
Manufacturers OF silk shirts are
adopting many Innovations in their eff
forts to supply the ever growing de-
mand for their product. Decreased
production by the mills making shirt
! ing fabrics, in the face of the enor-
nous sales Of shirts, has caused the
manufacturers to substitute various
c.oths for the regular materials that
ordinarily go into silk shirts.
In the course OF the next few months
che American Chamber of Commerce in
London should be il. possession of some
fairly accurate information as to con-
ditions in the dye and chemical indus
rries in Germany, according to reports
received on this side. Two investiga-
tors representing the dye and chemi-
cal trade group a the chamber have
started on tour of Germany and Aus
tria, and they may possibly visit Ger
tain districts of Russia. These men
will make q particular stuoy of Ger
man methods of production and the
possibilities of Germany's import and
export trade in dyes and chemicals with
the United States and Great Britain.
An analysis OF the woolen situation
in England discloses that conditions are
not as bad as they would seem on the
surface, for despite the hue and cry
that merchandise is scarce, the fact is
that the usual amount OF goods are
being obtained, the shortage impression
being created by the demand being al
most doubled.
Despite the grumbling and complain.
ing about high prices, the public is de-
manding high grade, expensive shoes.
Orders received by the manufacturers
indicate that there does not appear tc
be the slightest disposition on the part
of the consumer to accept solid, serv-
iceable, staple lines of shoes.
Judging from present conditions in
the mems clothing trade, there will bt
no gap between the winter and spring
manufacturing seasons. Heretofore
there generally has been lull in the
market, extending from about the mid
&c ha ~
January, but the extraordinary demand
for merchandise this season will elimi-
nate this let-up in manufacturing ac-
tivities.

IS another way of saying that Ca

like pneumonia or typhoid fever.
Catarrh IS caused by impure blood,
laden With irritating and poison

the nasal passages and throat, that
have already been inflamed. irri-
tated ana caused to overwork. by
exposure to dust, dirt, sudden
changes Of temperature, abnormal

tarTh cannot be cured by spraying
or douching the nose and throat.
The unhealthy condition Of the
blood must be overcome, purified
and restored to d healthy condi-
ton.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself, and not its symptoms,
is what you have to cure. Of
course. you know that when you
are cured of any disease its symp-
toms will disappear.
Catarrh manifests itself BY in
fammation of the delicate mem
branes Of the nose and air passages
which choke UP and make breath
ing very difficult. To get rid Of
these distressing effects you must
remove their cause.
The blood is laden with the Ca

tack against the tender and deli
cate membranes, of the nose and
throat. These germs cannot be
reached by sprays or douches.

OLDEST MAN LIVING.

| John Shell, of Greasy Creek, near
Hyden, Leslie county, Kentucky,
claims to be 13l years old. He has
been somewhat exploited recently, has
been discussed in the metropolitan
press and is in the list Of passing
celebrities.
If his statement about his age is
correct he is the oldest man in the
world, so far as the returns show, and
there is apparently some circumstan-
tiation of the claim. 1t is said that a
receipt has been seen which shows
that he paid poll-tax in 1909. This is
the only documentary proof Of his
claim mentioned, and that the re-
ceipt ever existed is supported only
by the statement of another old man
of the same community where Shell
lives.
1t is said, too, that his only living
child is 80 years old. That should be
some proof that he some years ago
passed the century mark; but then it
is also said that his youngest child is
not yet five years old, and that might
make incredulous the wise in the
ways of the world.
Mr.. Shell told the reporters at Lex
ington, KY, that his first presidential
vote was cast for James X. Polk.
Polk was elected in 1874. If he was
only q then he is only SO years old
now. IL he was born in 1888, as he
says he was sc years old when he first
voted for presidential candidate, and
it is hardly possible to believe that
any Democrat who ever lived in Ken
lucky to that age without casting
such a vote. He also says he was re-
iected when he wished to enlist for
the Mexican war because he was too
old. That was two years after Polk
was elected.
II, living in Kentucky, he was
strong enough a Democrat to vote
against Henry Clay, he surely would

The agriculture schedule contains

reau officials are urging farmers
everywhere to prepare for the Census
enumeration by looking over their
books and records so that acurate
answers ma be furnished to questions.
In this connection the Bureau of
Census emphasizes the fact that in
formation furnished the census takers
is absolutely confidential, made so by
Act of Congress, and that under no
circumstances can any such informa-
ton b eused as basis for taxation.
Cooperation between the farmers
and the census officials next January

WHAT is A FARM.
Warrington, Nov. s.-what is a


Warrington, Nov. 3.-What is 1
farm?
Seems a foolish question to ask
doesn't it? Almost anyone can tel
off-hand just what farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
Do you happen to know the inter
probation uncle Sam places on the
word farm" for census purposes ?
No? Then read how his Bureau Of
the Census defines the word:
"a farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor or
with the assistance of members of
his household or hired employees"
In further explaining this defini-
ton the Census Bureau points out
that the term Agricultural opera
tions" is used as general term re-
ferring to the work Of growing crops,
producing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals, poultry
or bees.
From this definition it will be seen
that farm may consist of a single
tract of land or of number of sep
arate and distinct tracts. And these
several tracts may be held under diff
ferent tinues as, for instance, when
one tract is owned by the farmer and
another is rented by him. Thus if a
man owns 100 acres rents an addition
al 10 acres from some one else and OPP
crates both the 100 and the 10 acres,
then his "farm" includes both tracts
Of land comprising 40 acres.
By the same token when landown-
err has one or more tenants, renters,
troopers or managers, each different
tract of land operated by any such
tenant, renter, croper or manager is
considered a separate and distinct
farm by the Census Bureau. Or, to
give an example, if man owning 120
acres Of land rents 40 to tenant and
farms the remaining so acres him
he operates, not the 120 acres which
he operates, lot the 100 acres which
he owns, while the 40 acre tract he
rents to a tenant comprises separ-
ate farm to be reported in the name Of
the tenant.
Another question to be determined
is how important does an agricultural
enterprise have to be in order to Sc
cure recognition in the census as
farm? A small vegetable garden or
chicken yard accommodating few
busy hens will not be allowed to quail
ify as "farm" in the census no mat
ter with what pardonable pride and

GOOD SUGGESTION JIMMIE.

The people of Tennessee who are
loyal should make known to Gov. Rob-
erts their devotion to the high ideals
which he proclaims. They should let
him known that in this contest for
them they are with HIM to the very
end. The law-abiding people Of Maui
ry county should write and telegraph
Governor Roberts of their approval,
His hand should be strengthened in
every way possible. No matter what
one may have thought of the Govern
or's attitude on any political or per-
sonal issue, if he believes in law and
order he should support the governor
in these times.-Columpia Herald.
