THE BIGGEST WOOL CARGO
EVER SENT TO BOSTON.

The biggest cargo OF wool ever
landed in Boston is now being unload
ed at Commonwealth Pier. 1t consists
OF 10000 bales of Australian wool and
is valued at $1O,OOO,O00 1t is owned by
the Britist Government: is consigned
to its agents at this port and after it
is sorted and graded, will be offered
to the wool men of New England at
Public auction.
The wool was brought to Boston
from Australia in the British freight
err Masula. Two other big ships laden
with wool from Australia ports are
on the way to Boston. Chairman John
N. Cole head of the State Public
Works Department, which operates
Commonwealth Pier, says that Com
manwealth Pier could absorb four
cargoes of the size of the Masula's
and still have room for more. Better
still all four ships unload at the same
time and unload more expeditiously,
than at any other port in the country,
because the State owned pier is
equipped with the most modern
machinery and facilities of handling
freight to be found in the country.
If it wasn't for the great state pier
Mr.. Cole says the wool men would not
know where to unload and store their
wool In all it is more than $4,000, 900
bales of wool is billed for this port.
The present indications are that the
business at Commonwealth Pier this
coming year will outstrip all previous
records, Chairman Cole says.-Bos-
ton Globe.

rains that hindered anything like an
average crop being put in.
Farm lands as in Illinois and other
places are selling very high and there
are ready buyers. According to what
one can realize from the land at the
present prices they are better mon
ey-getter, it seems to me, than Illi-
nois land.
Cloverport, KY, is beautiful little
town of possibly $500 situated on the
bank of the Ohio river about IS miles
to the west of Louisville with the L.
H. & ST. L. railroad from Louisville
and Evansville, Ind, running at the
brow of the hill back of the town.
The scenery here at this point of the
river is very beautiful and especially
so 10 visitors who are not accustomed
to seeing it every day. The Ohio
river is very high now and if theySise
does not check up in the next few
days, much damage will be done by
people having to move out of the low
bottoms and the loss of non-gathered
corn as many have already experience

HIS TRIP TO CLOVERPORT.

Cloverport, KY, Dec. IA, 1919 Edi-
tor Decatur Review:-The weather
conditions down here in old Kentucky
have been pretty rough the last two
days. Heavy rain fell last Friday
night with the job finished by a sud
den drop in temperature to freezing
that put ice and snow over mother
earth. This made foot transportation
unsafe and unpleasant
Some people in the north or in the
northern states think when you drop
south of the Ohio river you don't
come in contact with much winter
weather. About two years ago the
heaviest snow of the country was a
long this Ohio valley. The weather
conditions are not cutting any ice
with the prosperity just now of the
old state in getting the money.
Tobacco, the one great money crop,
is soaring in high prices. The farm
ers are realizing from 5000 to over
$1,000 per acre The black land of
Illinois is not in it for getting the
rocks" Tobacco sold on different
uldIhStS tilo WCCh al HiBu 40 PlVO "
$11o per hundred, $1,000 pounds to
the acre.
| noticed that a few days ago a
farmer of six acres received $4,000
for his crop, Another of eleven acre:
received $10,500. That's going some
toward getting the wolf from the
door. And there don't seem to be any
wolves perambulating about their
shacks either.
The coal famine in the north has
not disturbed their comfort. The west
part of the state has been finging out
coal at full speed TO take care OF any
immediate necessities. If they had
not been able to get coal, the wood
piles were not far distant and there
are not many who do not know how
to sling an axe yet They could soon
put Jack Frost to shame messing
about their shacks.
The wheat crop in the state will be
very short on account of the late fall

PROPER CARE AND FEEDING
WILL INCREASE EGG YIELD.

In order to obtain an abundance of
eggs it is necessary to have healthy,
vigorous stock, properly fed
The following are good grain mix
lures for the laying stock, the proper
tons being by weight:
Ration 1. Equal parts of cracked
corn, wheat and oats.
Ration 2. parts cracked corn, 2
parts oats and l part wheat.
Ration 3. parts cracked corn and
1 part oats.
A choice of any one of these rations
should be scattered in the litter twice
daily, morning and evening.
Either of the following suggested
dry-mash mixtures should be fed in
dry-mash hopper such as illustrated,
allowing the fowls to have access to
it at all times.
bran, l part middlings, 1 part beef
scrap.
Mash 2. parts corn meal 1 part
beef scrap.
When fowls do not have access to
natural green feed, sprouted oats, cab
bage, mangels, cut clover, etc, should
be fed.
When wet mashes are fed, be sure
that they are crumbly and not sticky.
Plenty of exercise increases the egg
yield.
Fresh clean drinking water should
be always provided Charcoal, grit
and oyster shell should be placed be-
fore the fowls so that they can have
access to them at all times.

COMMENCE MAX
ING GARDEN NOW
Good Gardens Are Begun In
the Fall and Not in the
Spring.

The man who makes a genuinely
good garden does not begin in the
spring. He begins in the fall. But the
spring is a long way off, you say?
The bean poles are beginning to rot
already, and it is time right now to
take out insurance by putting them
away properly, And that is only one
of a considerable number of simple
things OF equal importance that
should be done in the garden-now.
Because you have harvested all the
garden crops do not fall into the Sc
rious error of thinking that you do not
need to give any further attention to
the garden till next spring.

Cleanup Time in Garden.

One of the most important things
is to clean up. You wouldn't excuse
a slovenly kept house. Well sloven-
illness in the garden is hardly more to
be tolerated. Good housekeeping in
the garden is a matter of importance,
not merely because slovenly garden
in winter is the most desolate-looking
thing in mans perversion of nature,
but because the success of next years
vegetables depends on it, largely
Most of the diseases and insect
pests that affect garden crops live
over winter in the remains of the past

MEN OF RANK AND FILE ARE BOSS IN AMERICAN LEGION
welcome, American Legion0

W6lCOuO, AueTlCdQ Legion
 The bravest of American manhood. who gave of their time and offered of their lives that their country may be forever free and honored among the nations of the world, they have decided to bend themselves together for as long as they live in a greas national organization of world war veterans
 The call for the first national gath ering of these veterans of army and navy has gone out. They met in eau GUS at St. Louis, Mo, May g., g and 10, a basis for a perma- pent organization was effected, one which will include the whole of the country, and take in every veteran of land, CT sea or air, those who got lover there" and those who could go no farther than training camp at home
 Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose- welt is one of the guiding spirits of the American Legion He has given his time practically all since coming back from France to perfect the or ganization, and has been one of the leaders at the national meeting.
 The first organization work of the American Legion was done in Paris when National Guard and Reserve of fieefs serving in the A, E. F. and sev- eral other organizations came to- gether in an informal meeting and laid plans for the veterans future.
 From the very start it was admit ted that the men in the ranks, and not the officers who commanded, would be the controlling factors in the American Legion. It was intend ed to be so-a legion of men, rather than a legion of officers. It is the expressed purpose of the organiza- tion leaders to make of the American Legion a truly democratic body, and to dedicate it to Americanism
 But we may get more exact fn- depreciation of the Legion's purposes by reading the words of the tempor- ary officers. They tell in the follow ing articles, written exclusively for this newspaper, what the Legion stands for, and what it hopes to ao- complish.

 War.)
 The future of this country for good or i'll will inevitably rest in the hands of the great body of young Americans under 30 years of age who partieipat- ed in the great war. The burden of the war has rested on them, and, on the other hand, they have received from the war the greatest possible stimulus toward a sense of duty and organized patriotism. It is the pur- pose of the American Legion to try to keep alive and carry on in times of peace that sense of patriotic unity and enthusiasm. The American Le- zion is intended tc not on-y serve as a vehicle by which comradeship and love of country, aroused by the war, shall be maintained and kept alive, but intended also to embody the democratic spirit in which the war has been fought. It is open to all men who have worn the uniform in either the military or naval serv- ice, whether officers or enlisted mer. uniting them upon a common basis of American citizenship and American purpose.

 I sincerely hope that all officers and men of the army and navy will en- roll in the American Legion. It is a patriotic duty which will enable them to continue the fight against any forces of evil that may creep into our national life or threaten it in the flu ture. The American Legion has sew eral very serious missions to perform. It purposes to organize the patriotism of this country into unit for the good of all; it purposes to continue to util- ize the young men of the nation who fought battles or were ready to fight them; it believes that in the men of the army, navy and marine corps the nation has bulwark which will ward off all things that are un-American.

THE MALARIAL SURVEY.

A representative of the Federal
Public Health Department is now en-
gagged in the task of making a NAL
arial survey of this city to ascertain
if it is desirable to undertake cam
paign for the eradication of malaria
here. If sources enough are dis
covered here to justify the work
and if these sources are sustained by
the Indifferent and incomplete records
obtained here through the physicians
the Public Health Department win
submit the matter of graduating NAL
aria from this city to the city council
asking their support and endorsement
of the same. The expense of such
campaign is borne in equal shares
by the city and the State; the work
is thorough and efficiently done under
Federal supervision furnished free
and the results obtained are so | me
ficient and far reaching that the OPP
portunity to secure this service ought
to be seized most promptly.

eminent scientists, DR.. Won Ersdorff,
came to this city, accompanied by a
