American army in hospitals in
France and England, of whom
1882 were suffering from disease

The report said that the mum Der

by the report numbered SCI, Of

". E. WOODEN DEAD
Former Carroll cOuntian Dies
From Gas

William Elwood Woollen, AS
years of age, was found dead in
his home, 1862 North Parkway /,
Memphis, Sunday morning about
10 O'clock. The body was dis
covered in the kitchen, lying on a
cot. Asphyxiation was undoub-
teddy the cause. Death, according
to DR.. E. G. Ham, who was called
to the home of Mr.. Woollen after
the finding of the body. said that
Mr. Woollen bad been dead about
five hours when be made the
examination. AS the physician
arrived at / o'clock, this would FIX
the hour of death at 5 o'clock Sun
day morning.
Relatives of the dead man re-
fused to make any statement what
ever concerning the affair, despite
the fact that rumors of suicide were
rife in the neighborhood.
The only details learned, says the
Commercial Appeals account, we're
given by neighbors, who insisted
that Mr.. Woollen did not take his
own life. His theory is that Mr..
Woollen returned to bis home
some time during the early mora
ing hours, went to the kitchen and
lighted the gas stove to warm,
there being no heat in the house;
that Mr.. Woollen then lay down
on the cot and fell asleep; that the
defective gas, of which so much
complaint has been made Of late,
resulted in extingushing the fame,
and Mr.. Woollen was asphyxiated
by the gas flowing through the
open jets of the stove.
Mrs. Woollen was not at home,
but returned during the day and
found her husband dead.
The deceased was born near
McLemorseville. but left when
quite young. He was a member
of a fine family. He is survived by
his widow, two brothers, and two
sisters, The burial occurred at
Dyersburg, where he lived many
years.

ADVICE TO FARMERS
Return to Sound Farm Practices
Coming Season

Farmers of the United States are
urged by the department of agri.
culture to return to sound farm
practice 10 the coming season, aban.
doning certain emergency measures
adopted during the war, so as to
assure ample supplies of all kinds
for this country and Europe.
No cause. for alarm as to the
ability of American agriculture to
maintain its position in world trade
during the period of readjustment
is foreseen by the department,
which declared that a considerable
demand from European countries
for foodstuffs was almost assured
for a year or more.
The signing of the armistice
found the United States with fairly
large stocks Of foods, but with
smaller stocks of feeds. 1t was
recommended that pasture lands
plowed up for growing grain and
other food crops should be re-
seeded to grass, and that regular
and satisfactory rotation of crops
be resumed.

FatherIess Children

The war has been a great CLASH
Fer Of people. 1t has shown up
bhe calibre as nothing else could.
It is easy to distinguish those of
enlarged and broadened sympa-
khies from the class of narrow Wis
lon, who Justify themselves in not
responding to any call, by some
criticism of the government or
something that hasn't been man
aged to suit their individual tastes.
1t has been great source of
satisfaction to see how warmly and
alphabetically the people of our
county have responded to the call
to help humanity, particularly
I1hen this call followed the con-
tinuous demands that had been
made on US during the period OF
She war. Carroll county has now
adopted eighty-three orphans, and
The secretary and treasurer, Mrs.
ID. L. King, sent off last week to
headquarters a check to the
amount of $1,064 81, our first
quarterly remittance. Some have
not yet reported the amounts on
|adoptions which have been made.
When the flu epidemic has SUBJ
ST led and schools are normal, we
should have no trouble in securing
our full quota of one hundred.
We appreciate the fact that
N lch sentiment and sympathy still
exist when such letters are received
by the CON nitt,e as last week
