A PREDICTION AND AN ANSWER.

Secretary Wilson, of the De-
partment of Labor, says:
The present period of read
justment is the critical time. If
we can pass through it safely,
we have before US from eight to
ten years of industrial activity
equal to any wave of prosperity
we ever have had. But if there
is any serious unemployment,
there will be a period of indust-
rial unrest which may lead us to
a repetition of the French or the
Russian revolution. "
Secretary Lane, of the Depart
ment Of the Interior, says:
"If Congress will appropriate
the relatively small sum which |
have asked for the construction
of soldier settlements in every
State in the Union, | can offer
jobs almost Immediately to 100,
600 of our returned fighting men,
thus helping to stem the tide of
industrial unrest predicted by
Secretary Wilson; provide farm
homes for Is, 900 of these men,
thus mitigating the evils of ten

l, 100000 acres of at present un.
productive land. thus helping to
make up the deficiency in. the

as compared with the rate Of
growth of our population. There

GOOD FEED BRINGS EGGS.

Olin Nelson of Greene County,
built an open-front ponltry house
and put..his flock of ITO hens in
it December Is. At that time
he commenced to feed cracked
corn and a dry mash of bran and
corn meal. He was getting less
than 6 eggs a day. His egg
yield did not increase materially
until January Is when he began
feeding meat scraps. Since
then he has been getting from A
to5 dozen eggs daily. While
this is not high yield for the
number of hens, because he has
many late-hatched pullets, it
does show the value of good feed.
E. ]. Lehman of Cannon Coun-
ty started with 90 White Leghorn
hens. Out of these he, selected
36 breeders, from which he rails
ed enough chickens to get 45O
pullets. The oldest of these be-
gan laying August Is 81 month.
Since that time the number of
eggs has gradually increased un-
til in January the daily average
was 20 dozen a day. The income
for January amounted to $3.50
the feed bill sl4S-the profit Sill.
AS a scratch feed he uses shelled
corn and oats and as a mash he
feeds bran, cracked corn, and
meat scraps, mixed with SKIM
milk.

Surveyors representing the State
Highway Comission have beer
here for several days surveying
and locating what is known as
State Highway No. 5, leading
from Cookeville. by way of Liv.
ingston and Byrdstown to the
Kentucky state line.
This road was laid out by the
Highway Commission over two
years ago but the war interfered
with road work and nothing has
been done until now.
Pickett County, of which
Byrdstown is the county seat,
has voted a bond issue and con-
siderable work has already been
done. Both Obeds and Wolf
rivers have been bridged with
steel bridges.
Overton County has built two
steel bridges between Livingston
and CookeviIle. but it is not yet
known whether the surveyors
will accept the route on which
they are located.
Overton County will have SIS, =
600 besides the automobile funds
for her part Of this highway,
and the county court at its April
term is expected to vote $l0O, 900
in bonds, which altogether will
be sufficient to build the road.

A BONUS OF $50 TO Be
PAID ALL SOLDIERS
And SAILORS.

Under the revenue act approx.
ed February "a, 1919, each officer,
soldier, sailor, field clerk, or nur-
Sc, who entered Federal service
on or after April 6, 1917, and who
has been honorably discharged,
is entitled to a bonus of $4,000.
This bonus is payable only upon
application OF person entitled
thereto, and is not payable to
heirs or representatives of those
who may have died in service;
nor TO those who were given an
extra months pay upon their
separation from service. Those
who are discharged after this act
took effect, will receive this $50
90 in their final pay.
Those entitled to this $4,000
should make formal application
over their signatures, stating the
date of induction and separation
from military service, and the
place to which it is desired that
check be sent. and enclosing
their honorable discharge, which

Soldiers should address applic-
ations to Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington,
D. c.
S"ilors should address applica-
tions to Naval Bureau of Supp
lies and Accounts, Washington,
D. C.
Marines should address applica-
tions to the officer who settled
their accounts, unless his where
abouts are unknown, or he was
a naval supply officer, in which
case claim should be forwarded
to Marine Corps Headquarters,
Washington, D. c. and if in the

1t is estimated that at least one
million and quater persons

itiously as practicable, it will
manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many

The ~" man carries us out
every day to see different parts
of the country. The first TRIP
out we took the incline train fol

top of this mountain we had d
wonderful view of the surround.

Italy and Switzerland. We took
sleighs rides, drank hot chocolate
and almost froze, so | am not SO

was, although | enjoyed the trip.
The next trip was up another
high mountain. From the point
where we stopped we had a fine
view of an extremely high point
of the mountain called the Cats
Tooth. +" Just under the Cats
Tooth" was where Hannible
brought his arm through to con-
quer the Romans. From this
we went on farther to the home
of the famous American sculpt-
or, Vandermart. We saw sever
al things he had chiseled out of
marble. AS we came on back
we saw the castle of a Russian
countess that she built with the
money she had won gambling in
the Casino. On our next trip
we visited an old Roman museum.
Here we saw relics centuries old.
such as shells, coins, Egyptian
mummies, swords, old paintings,
and many other things. We
then visited the bath house,
which is another fine building,
Here saw the suite of rooms
that J. P. Morgan occupied when
here. In this building are
fine showers and swimming
pools. They are supplied with
different kinds of hot water that
flow from the mountains. The
baths were all free to the men
in uniform, and they were de-
lightful.
On our last trip, taken today,
250 of US took the boat and went
eleven miles up the largest lake

foot of the mountain, and then

HERE is CURE FOR INSOMNIA
English Woman Writer Tells How She
Successfully overcame the Demon
Of Sleeplessness.

A woman writer in a London
newspaper says she has found cure
for sleeplessness. She calls it cay
zed" because it has to do with the
letters of the alphabet. The title
may puzzle Americans that are not
aware that cay" is the sound Cock
ney gives to the first letter of the al
phabet, and that 'zed" is how the
English pronounce e." Here is the
scheme:
Tonight, say, you are wakeful.
Review your friends; how many men
or women you have known or do you
know whose Christian name begins
with A? I prescribe Christian names
because they are more lovable, and
listable,. than surnames. You will
find that it is like what we are told
of drowning all your life will pass
before you in vision till you sink
blissfully beneath the waves of sleep
before one letter is disposed Of"

War Department Cuts Elk
penses on Meat Shipments
for the A. E. F.

Thousands OF tons of homeless beef
was shipped to the American Expe-

cost OF transportation and save valu-

OF scores of ways in which the gov
eminent eliminated unnecessary ex-
pense in the endeavor to make every
dollar raised through the four popular
Liberty Loans go as far as possible
BY shipping all meat for the over
seas troops with the bones cut out at
the packing houses in America 1t has
been estimated that saving of $4,000
daily was made. The suggestion to
ship the meat in this economical man
ner was made by an army man after
he watched thousands of tons go for
ward by the old method. carcass
OF beef contains twenty-five pounds of
bone to every hundred pounds of meat
and requires twice the shipping space.
1t Is with such unanswerable argu
ments as these that the government is
replying to the charges that money
was carelessly spent during the war
making necessary the calling OF the

COMING OUT OF sEcLUsIoN

self, there are to be found things
never before seen on Chinese sea or
land.
There are Chinese girls, he says,
ranging from sixteen years to nine
teen, with their black glistening hair
in long braids, their pink trousers
reaching midway down to their up
to-date European pumps. With this
regalia they wear bright blue stock
ings, and some of them are to be
seen smoking cigarettes.
Only the two extremes of the Chi
nese feminine social order are ex-
posed to public view. The coolie
woman one sees hoeing the fields,
pulling the car, carrying her fair or
unfair share of every load. But the
lives of the great mass of Chinese
women beginning with the orders
just above this class are shrouded,
he says, in mystery.
The Chinese girls that one sees at
the race meetings, motoring down
Bubbling Wells road, are the eman-
cipated Chinese girls. While not
exactly typical, they are leading
procession which grows larger every
year, and they indicate tendency
which is causing no little harm.
