Church Board Involved
Concerning the Board of Temperance
and Moral Welfare of the Presbyterian
Church the association asserts that
this body is also prepared for imme-

II quotes the following from the gem
eral secretary of the board, the Kew
Charles Scanlon. who, in writing on
November to the editor of "Ihe To-
bacco World SAID:
"For years we have been making
open warfare on the use of tobacco, es-
pecially on cigarettes, and we continue
to do so with increased vlgor. NO one
authorized to speak for this board has
ever taken any attitude 'of compromise,
evasion or silence on this question. We
intend to press this battle because the
overwhelming testimony of science,
law, morality, education, religion and
experience is that tobacco in any form
is filthy, harmful and expensive

no more conspicuously heroic figure
than John H. Clifford, Baptist minis

in time of war, who has been awarded

John Clifford as a Y. M. G. A,

while rescuing Col. Albert " Catlin,
commanding officer of tn, sixth regi-

colonel to safety on a stretcher.
Mr.. Clifford went over the top many

several occasions. He is fifty one
years old and was born at Oxford, Eng.

For the last two years the livestock
industry of Fayette county has been
growing better all the time and now
you can hardly go into community but
that you find a large number of i'm
proved livestock. especially hogs and
cattle. This year there has been ship
ped out of this county around $50, 600
worth OF hogs and $75. 600 worth of cat
tie. Quite a number of farmers have
asked why we do not put on a COOPER
tive shipping in order that the farmers
may get the market price for their
stock, seeing that other counties in the
south are doing it wi h success,
The county agent has insisted on this
movement for two years and | feel
that this would be the greatest thing
for the farmers of any other movement
at this time and for this reason | am
asking those who are interested in q
movement Of this kind to meet at the

ton. Only one county in West Tennes-

stock.
Cow on fertile lands, early prepared:
on Japan clover land. where the soil
may be prepared with subsoiler and

Sow spring oats on fertile lands from
which crops were removed too late the
previous fall for wheat or barley; such
land should be winter plowed.
Early sown barley tends to encourage
Hessian Fly on both barley and wheat.
When sowing very early, use winter
oats. When sowing barley slightly late
to avoid the fly. take special care TO
