would have affected it's future power

its settlement of domestic issues.
Manifestly it was not only impossible,

if congress passed the appropriation

Washington, ID. C.-Within a few
moments after the adjournment OF
Congress. March 4th last, President
Wilson issued to the public a state
ment which began as follows:
"a group OF men in the Senate
have deliberately chosen to
embarrass the administration of
the government, to imperil the
financial interests OF the rail-
way systems % the country, n
to make arbitrary use OF powers
intended TO be employed In the
interests Of the people"
When President Wilson opened the
last session OF the last congress on
December 2, 1918, he notified mem
bers Of the congress that he was leaV-
ing at once for Paris and a tour OF
Europe, and that he had no time TO
make any recommendations to IL re-
garding domestic legislation. The
esam afternoon he left Washington
for Europe. He did not return to this
country until one week before the ad-
journment OF congress- and was not
In the United States during the entire
ty OF the last session OF congress. Be
cause of this, his ignorance OF the
facts In the case may be explained
even though It Is not excused.

the Senate until late In the day ON
March lst, Saturday, which rendered
its discussion impossible until Mon
day, March Bird, within thirty-six
hours OF the time congress legally ex-
pired. The bill carried appropriations
irggregating $842, 600, 000. One of the
items was an appropriation of $780,

gained and transmitted to the far
mer. Recently a great deal o
work is being done toward market
ing for the farmer at a better
profit. Henry, Madison and other
counties joining Carroll are saving
a great deal of money this year on
this item alone.
Millions Of dollars are appropri-
ated annually to maintain this work,
We pay our share toward its sup
port. In return every county is
invited to make an appropriation
10 meet the governments offer,
and a man will be furnished in
that county and supervised as well
as aided by men from the depart
ment at Washington. About 90
per cent of the counties in the
south have taken advantage of
this offer, and SO gain the benefits
of the work. We all pay our share
to maintain the work, whether we
contribute a little to entitle US to
share in the benefits or not. 1t is
there for US and we can take it or
leave it.
At present there are more posi-
tions open than there are trained
men to take them. Carroll coun-
tvs former agent was offered Lake
county the first of January, and
rejected it. The same offer came
June Is, with the statement that
the place had been open for
all that time because a sufficiently
trained man had not been found to
take the place. All available men
are being placed, but only in coun-
ties which show keen interest in
the work and express strong de-
sire for an agent. Such conditions
do not exist in Carroll county;
there is no applicant for the place,
and the July quarterly court will
not be asked for an appropriation
for county agent work.

county for the support given me

The rain cloud that came up in
the afternoon dispersed the crowd
to some extent and married the
pleasure of the day somewhat.

Delays Dangerous

Flies and mosquitoes are respon-
sible for a heavy percentage of the
illness prevalent in the country
during the summer months, all
malaral and probably most typhoid
being traceable to these pests.
Good screens, however expensive
they may seem, are far more eco
nomical than sickness and doctors
and drug bills. 1t is the duty of
the man of the house to buy good
screens for every door and window
and then see to it that these are
properly put on.
Have you attended to this job9
If you have not, it is matter that
should be looked to without delay.

COUNTY FARM AGENT
Some Reasons Why the County
Should Have One

There seems to be some specu'
lation as to whether or not the
Carroll county court will be asked
to make an appropriation for
county agent work at the July
term. This article will definitely
answer that question; but first let
us consider one or two points.
One of our neighbors says put
the money into good roads now
and that minor things can wait.
Let US have good roads by all
means. But how many miles of
good roads can be built with the
few hunderd dollars usually voted
to help on the county agents sal
.arys $685., 900 90 is now available
for the roads of Carroll county, 10
addition to the regular county
road tax. By comparison we must

that the paltry sum involved in

ing program either one way or
the other.
Another citizen thinks the county
agent proposition good one if we
can not do better, but thinks it
would be better to have district
and county organizations of farm
ers to discuss farming matters of
interest. Such organizations exist
In great many counties, and one
of the first things they do is to Sc
cure the services OF a county agent
to work with them. A number of
such organizations were formed in
Carroll county and they always
used the county agent more than
the people did in unorganized COM
munities. The organization idea
is a good one, and when we get
that all over the county, it will
not be necessary to wonder if the
county court will be asked to vote
40 appropriation for demonstration
work. The organization will de-
mand and get an agent.
To make farming more profitable
in Carroll county. rs we'll as in
other counties, we need to grow
more cover crops to turn under,
have better pastures and keep more
and better live stock, lime sour
soil and grow more clover and
alfalfa and use better machinery.

culture believes that with the aid

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS
Two More Prospective Candidates
in the Eighth

1t looks now like there is going
to be something doing 10 the
Eighth Congressional district for
the democratic nomination. If
there is anything in rumor there
will be a field full of candidates.
Political gossipers have already
associated the names of Capt. Cor
don Browning, ex-Gov. Tom g.
Rye and Congressman T. W. Sims
with decided congressional aspera-
tons. And now comes the rumor
that Porter Dunlap. former state
treasurer, who, since going out of
Office, has entered the practice of
law with Mr.. Spraggins at Jack
son. and j. 9. Rainey, a wealthy
merchant Of Cottage Grove, Henry
county, are encouraging the buzz
zing of very distinct congressional
bees.
The Eighth district has always
afforded field for speculation and
interesting contests in both pri-
nary and general elections, but

his twelfth consecutive term.

REPUBLICANS LAYING PLANS
To Give Battle ia Tennessee for
Everything ID Sight

Tue republicans are laying plans
to give battle for every Office in
Tennessee ia 1920, from governor
TO constable, and the leaders be-
Iieve the chances for success are
excellent. Chairman viii HAYS,
of the republican national commit
tee, who has been in Washington
for several days, endeavoring to
straighten out the tangled situa-
tion on the republican side Of the
senate, with respect to the league
of nations fight, has found time to
discuss with prominent Tennessee
republicans the situation 10 the
Volunteer State. He has been as
sured that with proper support
from the national organization, the
party's chances for success in 1920
are better than at any time within
recent years, except in the fusion
period of 1902.
James 5. Beasley, former chair
man of the republican state execut-
i've committee, and other promi-
nent republicans who have been to
Washington recently have predicted
a republican victory in 1920 in
Tennessee. and have stated that
all they need is the sinews of war.
Now the sinews of war is an i'm
portant thing in the conduct of a
republican campaign in Tennessee.
But they do not always insure sue
cess.
This desire to get control of ma
tional and state affairs finds ready
response, even among our Hunt
ingdon republican friends. They
are already beginning to plan and
get in shape to take everything
they can get their hands or, polit-
ically speaking.
They now, for the first time,
occupy every Office at the court
house, the deputy clerk and mas
ter being a republican. The term
of Office of the clerk and master,
who is a democrat, will expire this
fall, and there are prospects of
lively fight among republicans for
his successor.
The usual fight for the county |
offices will soon be in full swing,
and no one of the present officers
seem to be absolutely immune to
