LABOR UNION LEADER MAKES
NUMEROUS OTHER PROPOSALS
FOR CONFERENCE.

Attitude Criticised by Labor Dele
gates.
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.--Immediate
arbitration of the steel strike was pro.
posed at the industrial conference to-
day by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. He
proposed that the conference appoint
an arbitration board to mediate the
strike and that the strikers return to
work pending a settlement.
Under the Gompers plan each group
in the conference would have a repre-
sentative on the arbitration board
He also made other proposals on be-
half of labor. Each proposal will be
referred automatically to the central
committee.
Representatives of the public pro-
posed a national arbitration board
and reduction in the cost of living as
the first step in bettering industrial
conditions, with recognition by en-
ployers of the right of workers to or
ganlze. The public representatives
also proposed an industrial truce for
three months during which all strikes
and lockouts would be called off.
Secretary of Labor Wilson propos-
ed an arbitration board in each indus
try. Failure of employers and capi-
tai to present propoals today was criti-
cised by the labor delegates.

ED PROPERTY TO 3. G. M'GREW
OF GILES COUNTY.

A. Fleming Thomas, farmer, ranch
man, successful politician, but unsuc-
cessful matrimonial aspirant, insur-
ance agent, real estate agent, has sold
his noted Giles county estate, Five
Springs Ranch" to G. G. McGrew, of
Giles county. This ranch lies on An
derson creek and is abundantly water
ed and wooded and is an ideal tryst-
ing place for those who look with eyes
of love upon each other 1t makes a
most delightful picnic grounds and
fine fresh air, together with the best
OF water abounds on its broad domain.
II is an ideal recreation place The
sale was made through the we'll
known real estate firm of Hendley,
Thomas e Hendley.
1t is not believed that this sale will
in any way interfere with the big pic
mic that Mr.. Thomas proposed to rem
der the members of the Ananias Club
in proof of the productivity of the
ranch. There is yet plenty of time
before Mr.. McGrew gets possession
for the picnic and the members Of the
Ananias Club are going to hold Mr..
Thomas to his promise. However,
Mr.. Thomas is an elusive gentleman,
as all the women who know him for
the past two generations will testify,
and that fish fry may never yet be en-
joyed by the members of the, Annaias
Club.

Postmasters viii Hold Tests at Most
Places-AppIicants Must Be 18
Years Old or Older and Have Intel
lioence.

Dates and places for holding exami-
nations of applicants for appointment
as census enumerators in the ten
counties of the Seventh congressional
district were announced this morning
by Capt. T. Y. English, supervisor.
Capt. English will visit as many of
the places as possible before the ex.
animation and will make an effort to
be present at some of them on the
day of the examination.
No applicant will be considered who
fails to take the examination as pre-
scribed by the census bureau.
Allen Hord, chief clerk in the su-
peryisor's office, will hold the test
for Maury county and the postmasters
will hold it in the other counties.
All tests will begin at 10 a. m. on the
dates stated.
According to Director Rogers of the
Census Bureau the average pay for
enumerators will be probably $100,
but Capt. English believes that in this
district most of them will earn con-
iderably more than that average.
Director Rogers in a statement ap-
pealing to the patriotism of the peo-
pie to help make the taking of the
census a success said:
Active, intelligent and reliable men
and women not less than Is years of
age, are needed for this task, and, in
a sense, this is a call for volunteers.
The importance of a complete and re-
liable census, especially in these crit
ical times when more than ever be-

spirited energetic people throughout
the country will volunteer to act as
census enumerators even though they
may not care for the positions so far
as the pay is concerned. | should be
sorry to think, and | do not believe,

A TRIBUTE.

Mintie Biggs Miles was born in
Rockingham, N. c., July 3rd, 1885,
and died at her home in Greenville,
5. c., June 10th, 1919. She was the
daughter of Rev. F. T. Biggs and
Martha Northcott Biggs, and the first
of the family group in which there
were eight children, to respond to the
call from the other side. That beau
tiful floral tribute, laid by loving
hands upon her grave, broken cir
Gle of roses, tenderly represents this
dear family, with father and mother,
husband, three brothers and four sis
tiers all here; She the only absent one
at home with her Savior. She join
ed the Methodist Church years ago in
Rockingham, and within its pales she
lived and walked, wherever her resi-
dence was, in Virginia or South Caro-
lima, or her own native State, until
her walking days were over. When
her health permitted she was a reg
ular attendant at all services. For
three years in succession she failed
not to answer to her name in her Sun
day School. Nor did she fail in duty
elsewhere, being faithful and dutiful
as daughter, tender and devoted as
a wife, gentle and loving as a sister,
thoughtful and kind as neighbor
and friend. We cannot help lamenting
her being taken away so early in life.

Census Interpretation of the
Word Farm"

Washington, Nov. 3.-What is
a farm?
Seems a foolish question to
ask, doesn't it? Almost anyone
can tell offhand just what a farm
is and knows one when he
sees it.
But do you happen to know
the Interpretation Uncle Sam
places on the word farm for
census purposes? No? Then
read how his Bureau of the Cen
sus points out that the term
agricultural operations" is used
as a general term referring to
the work of growing crops, pro-
ducing other agricultural prod
ucts and raising domestic ami
mails, poultry or bees.
From this definition it will be
seen that a farm may consist of
a single tract of land or of a
number of separate and distinct
tracts. And these several tracts
may be held under different ten
ures as, for instance, when one
tract is owned by the farmer
and another is rented by him.
Thus if man who owns 100
acres rents an additional ten
acres from some one else and OPP
crates both the 100 acres and
the 10 acres, then his farm in
cludes both tracts of land COM
prising ITO acres.
By the same token when a
landowner has one or more ten
ants, renters, troopers or man
ayers, each different tract of
land operated by any such ten
ant, renter, cropper or manager
is considered separate and dis
tinct farm by the Census Blu
reau. Or, to give an example, if
a man owning 100 acres of land
rents 40 acres to a tenant and
farms the remaining 80 acres
himself, his farm is the 80 acres
which he operates, not the 1920
acres which he owns, while the
40-acre tract which he rents to
q tenant comprises a separate
farm to be reported in the name
of the tenant.
Another question to be deter
mined is how important does an
an agricultural enterprise have
to be in order to secure recogni-
ton in the census as a farm? Al
small vegetable garden or a.
chicken yard accommodating a
few busy hens will not be allow
ed to qualify as a farm" in the
census, no matter with what
pardonable pride and satisfac-
ton the proprietor may view his
agricultural enterprise.
But if the garden or chicken
yard expands until it covers not
less than three acres of ground,
or until it requires for it's care
the continuous services of at
least one person, or yields prod
ucts annually to the value of
$3.50 or more, it comes within
the census definition of a farm
and will be recognized as such
and counted.
The agriculture schedule con-
tains many questions regarding
farm values, expenses and live
stock as well as the acreage and
quantity of crops raised in the
year 1919. Census Bureau of
ficials are urging farmers every
where to prepare for the census
enumeration by looking over
their books and records so that
accurate answers may be fur
nished to questions.

Remarkable Mechanical Hand
War Product

1t is unusual to. shake hands with a
person wearing an artificial arm and
be gripped tightly with thumb and
fingers, but these natural finger.
thumb, and wrist motions are closely
initiated by a mechanical hand that
is illustrated in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
The new hand is remarkable not only
in performance. but also in construc-
tion and operation, 1t consists of
surprisingly few parts-about so in
number-and is controlled by a single
cord. This is connected to a comfor-
table harness that is similar to the
simplest form of shoulder brace. The
hand is carefully patterned after the
human one, is made of aluminium, and
when gloved,. has a most natural ap-
pearance. Each finger has three
joints, and the thumb two. Sufficient
pressure can be exerted by the new
hand to permit an object weighing IL
pounds to be picked up and held be-
tween the thumb and finger tips. A
handkerchief can be taken from a
pocket with ease, a cigar held in a
natural position and extended to the
mouth, and pen or pencil used with
splendid success.

You won't need to resort to the

you will adopt the simple plan

At night merely apply a little
liquid silmerine with a clean tooth
brush, drawing this through the
hair from root to tip. This will i'm
part a delightful wavy appearance
and bright 1ustre suggestive of
hidden sunshine" 1t will prove
beneficial to the hair, instead of
making it brittle and dead looking
as the hot iron does. In the morn
ing. instead of your tresses being
mean and contrary, you will find
them quite easy to do up in any
form, and there will be no unpleas-

the hair. ! would suggest that you
ask your druggist for the LIQUID

which will REQUIRE no mixing and
you can pour a little into a saucer
when required.-Emily Coulson in
