known Cardui for years, but never
knew its worth until year or so ago.
I was in a weakened, rundown con-
dition. / became draggy-didn't eat or
sleep to do any good; couldn't do any
thing without great effort. tried
different remedies and medicines, yet
/ continued to drag.
II decided to give Cardui a trial,
and found 1t was just what / really
needed. It made me feel much strong
er soon after I began to use 1t. be-
gan to eat more, and the nervous,
weak feeling began to leave. Soon l
was sleeping good.
'Cardui built me up as no other
tonic ever did.
Il used Cardui with one daughter
who was puny, felt bad and tired out
all the time. It brought her right out,
and soon she was as well as girl
could be. We think there is nothing
like Cardui"
Do not allow yourself to become

Large Acreage Sown to Cover Crops

H. H. Jones, Robertson County
agent, states that farmers in that
county have seeded abount five times
more Crimson clover this year than
that of any previous year. Most OF
this will be turned under in the
spring. Farmers thruout the county
are interested in this crop as never
before. During the past season they
harvested the largest hay crop in the
history of. the county which shows
that this tobacco county is turning
its attention to growing legumes for
soil building and are finding that it
pays.
t. w. Kenemer, agent in Hickman
County, reports that large acreage
of crimson clover has been sown in
that county this fall The farmers
are more interested in cover crops
than ever and it is keeping the
agent busy helping them secure
seed. This is another county in
which the agent has done some good
active work in bringing the formers
to the realization of the value of le-
gume and cover crops. What is true
of these counties is true of many 9TH
ers.

When the good roads meeting was
held at the courthouse to discuss
ways and means for building the
Gibbs road, it was suggested that
the County Court would make very
liberal appropriation for the road.
But the promoters of the enterprise
declined to wait on the court and
proceeded to. raise the road fund by
subscription. The engineer, Mr.. KEEL
ly, made an estimate of the cost of
the road at $1,000. Now of course it
is presumed that this estimate in
cluded only the actual cost of con-
struction and materials. The esti-
mate may be ample and at the same
time it may not be enough. Just at
this time it is hard to make reliable
figures on the cost of any kind of
construction. But evidently there
will be a charge for survey and the
work of the superintendent, and
funds must be ample to cover these
charges We therefore make the
point that tho the city of Union City
and community alone is attempting
to construct this road the County
Court will no doubt be willing to
supplement the road fund of this en-
terprise with levee and bridge fund
sufficient to guarantee the compile
ton of the work. The road is used
largely by the people of the county
in reaching the county seat for the
various sessions of court and for 9TH |
er public meetings. 1t is more gener-
ally used probably than any other |
road in the county. The County |
Court must therefore be impressed |
with the importance of the work and
must recognize the liberal spirit ex-
hibited by the people here. The
County Court must also remember
that Number Thirteen has paid a
very much larger proportion Of the
taxes of the county. There is far
more valuable real estate here, and
the assessment has been relatively
greater than in other portions of the
county. The Court is therefore al
most duty bound to recognize this
road with liberal appropriation.
Come on, men; we know you will do
your duty.

Peace Covenant.

The theory that peaceful nations
become stupid and inactive is made
not by man of wisdom but by men
of false pretenscs and motives.
The idea of taxing nations with
billions of tribute for a powerful
military establishment is one idea
of advancing civilization, but it does
not seem to be effective.
We are out of war and we are in
the midst of hell.
Did the war strengthen us? Has
it strengthened any of the contend
ing nations? What did Germany's
military establishment do except to
destroy both physical and moral
standards?
The League of Nations is not in
tended to provoke war but to pre-
vent war. How in the Sam Hill can
Lodge and Shields reach any other
conclusion?
If the civilized nations of the earth
form league to prevent war will
any one or two of the lesser enemy
nations prevail against that league?
Will they even dare to take up arms
Just as true as we are here to-day
the League of Nations was cove
nant (underwritten) to suppress
Bolshevism, or the lawlessness fol-
lowing war. During the meetings at
Versailles the red cloud began to dis
appear, but when America refused
the covenant Bolshevism became act
i've.
nant was ridiculed. This was not
material. The underlying motive
was to protect civilization-to sup
press the savage instinct in mankind.
That was the moving spirit of the
men of Versailles. All the tommy
rot that nations with crowns and
republican forms cannot treat with
one another is simply childish If
nations cannot cooperate how can
business organizations cooperate?
If there had been political treach-
cry in the covenant, would Clemen
ceau of France have failed to find it?
This paper is supporting Cox, not
for the socialism in the Democratic
platform, but for the greatest prin-
ciple the nations of the world have
ever conceived-the covenant of
peace.
