The inconvenience the travelling

For instance: The waiting room

within four feet of the ticket win
dow and it is impossible for more
than two people to get near the
ticket window at one time, because
the stove is in the way.
But this does not constitute the
entire list. There are many others.
The working room for the agent
and his assistants is anything but
what it should be.

best county in West Tennessee, is
entitled to relief from this embar-

We are consuming rCrc than is

as we reach period of greater pro-

high prices.

SHARPENING PLoW POINTS.

There is no excuse for a farmer
using a dull low point. 1t is not diff
ficult work to sharpen one, and any
farmer with a practical knowledge
of how a pillow point should be
shaped to run well, and with little
knowledge of steel, can easily sharp
en- pillow point.
1t is, of course, very difficult to
teach man on paper how to sharp
en- pillow point. However, few
suggestions may be of some little as
sistance to beginners in the work.
A roundfaced hammer weighing
about three pounds should be used,
The lower side of the hot pillow point
should be held flat on the anvil while
the edge of the share is drawn out
by hammering on the upper side.
When drawing out the edge Of the
share be careful not to bend the
point itself too far "to land" When
this happens, rest the edge of the
share on a hardwood block while
driving back the point.
Always be careful not to over
heat the steel point. Steel is much
more easily burned than iron, and
the beginner is almost sure to over
heat, if he does not burn, the first
plow share that he attempts to sharp
en-. Heat to a light red or yellow
color before attempting to sharpen
it. 1t will be necessary to heat the
share two or three times before it is
sharpened as it should be. When
it has been sharpened, it is a good
plan to heat it again and hammer
lightly before chilling.
Plain water is entirely satisfactory
for re-tempering the sharpened
share. When the share has been
heated the last time and hammered
lightly to lessen the liability of
cracking, it should be dipped into
water and moved up and down for
few seconds.

TRADITIONS 1000
YEARS OLD UPSET
Ancient City Of PreSsburg
Changes Character With
Coming Of New Rulers.
RESULT OF PEACE FARLEY
Resentment Shown over the Employ
ment Of Czechs In Government Pc
sitlons Formerly Occupied by Hun
parians--Many Are Expelled.

Bratlslava, SlOvakia.-It Is only on
Czechoslovakian maps that this an
cient Hungarian city Of PreSsburg can
be located by Its new name. Ruled BY,
Hungary for thousand years, Ii
passed under the control Of the new
Czechoslovakian republic by the deCis-
ion Of the peace conference, and q
large part of its inhabitants do not
take kindly to the new order Of things.
Its people are dOminantly GermaniC
or Hungarian.
The street signs are in German and
Hungarian characters, and now to them
Is being added Czech. The old postal
and telephone employees have been re-
placed by Czechs and Czech high of
tlcers installed in the government.
Slovak regiments on duty here have
been replaced by purely Czech soldiers.
In city as old and conservative and
routine as this, drifting through the
centuries undisturbed in its social GUS
toms, these things have made feeling
run rather high in certain social strata,
Many Are Expelled.
Persons, regardless of sex, who have
not acquired legal residence are being
expelled. One man who told the Assoc
>ciated Press he had lived and done
business here for forty years was ex-
PEELED a few days ago. The list Of
those cited for expulsion is said to con-
tain names of dead persons.
Some Hungarians do not hesitate to
express their resentment over the en-
plOyment of Czechs In government pO-
sitiOns here formerly occupied by the
Hungarians. C2echs and many SlO-
vaks of the educated classes who hold
office under the government say this
feeling is due to Hungarian and Ger
man propaganda, and has no real
strength or extent. Also they admit
the necessity of Czech officialdom, as
Slovakia has little or no educated class
from which to draw executives Of abil-
ity.
Hard to Upset Tradition.
1t Is hard to upset rudely the tradi-
tons of ten centuries, and talks with
many persons, both in official and un-
official circles, would indicate that the
antagonism displayed toward the
Czechs is a natural condition Of this
period of transition and is not deeply
rooted. Probably 1t is stronger here
in Pressburg than In the other parts
of Slovakia, where the change is not
so apparent.
The school question plays a very
prominent part In the situation here.
The government has abolished the Ger
man and Hungarian languages in the
schools, and this means a general Gust
ing Of teachers and a reaction in house
holds.

TOM VAUGHAN
TAKES A BRIDE

Public Wells, Dec. 29.-Well,
Christmas has come and gone and
we launch into another year. Many,
many, happenings have taken
place in the last IL months and
many others will take pace in the
next. Let's make the new year the
best of our lives. We hope each of
you readers may enter the new year
with the best resolution of your life
and that it may be profitable year
to our editor, his force and all of us.
There are quite a number on the
sick and puny list through this Sec
ton.
Mrs. Carter, who was thrown from
buggy just before Christmas and
hurt very badly, is better.
Quite a lot of moving is being
done, with roads awful muddy and
very rough
Well, we suppose most everybody
that could got married and those
who could not still want to. Tom

are higher in price than others, yet
this condition will settle and become
normal in due time. Either one will
be lowered or the other raised-and
we are inclined to think the latter,
since we know of nothing being
lowered.
Attorney-Genera Palmer predicts
a lowering of food products prices,
but we don't know what he basis his
prediction on, unless it is that his
wish is father to the thought. Ger
tainly, we of the agricultural sec
tons can't pay the high prices for
manufactured articles and then sell
our products at a lower price.
What we need is increased produc-
ton, and to lower the price Of food
products is certain to decrease pro-
duction, for how much tobacco do
you suppose would be grown in
Weakley county in 1920 if the
price of the present crop were to be
fixed at Is cents the pound? Mr..
Palmer has got on the wrong track.
There's not going to be any per-
ceptible lowering of prices for some
time to come, and our advice to the
boys on the farm is to grow every
thing, as much of it as you can, and
get the most you can for it.

DEATH OF AGED
MOTHER IN ISRAEL

Death has again entered our COM
munity and claimed as its victim one
of our very best women, Mrs. Mary
Ellis. She was born Nov. 20, 1852,
and died Dec. Is, 1919; age 81
years, one month and five days. She
was married to ]. w. Ellis, Dec. 8,
1870. He passed to his reward some
twenty-one years ago. She is sur
vived by three children, ten grand
children, two great-grand children,
an aged mother, Mrs. Mathis, two
brothers-William and Lee Mathis
three sisters, Mrs. Laura Odds,
Mrs. Belle McWherter and Mrs. Min
ME Paschall, besides hosts of rela-
tives and friends. She professed
hope in Christ in early life and united
with the Cumberland Presbyterian
church at Good Springs, near Duke
dom, where she was laid to rest,
after services by Rev. L. E. Mccoy.
We cannot latham divine wisdom or
understand why God allows sorrow to
, come to us, but we know He is too
wise to err and too good to be un-
kind to any of His creatures. He
knows what is best and doeth all
things we'll. If we, in our weakness,
could just trust Him andd believe
this at all times. But oh, how hard
for us to say, "Thy will be done"
when we see the casket lid come
down over the face so beautiful to
us, hiding it forever from our view,
when we hear the clods falling in
on the casket and then have to leave
the new-made grave and go to the
home where mother has always well
coined US, to find it desolate, lonely
and sad. To Lula, who gave up her
own home to move. in with mother
that she might make life easier for
her in her last days, let this thought
cheer and comfort you-that you
did what you could. To Ed, who
gave up all boyish pleasures to stay
at home with mother. What noble
act could any man do? Even had he
fallen on the battle field he would
have been no more Of a hero. And
to little Minnie, who has awlays lived
near by and went many times day
after day to help and comfort her,
know that each of you is proud
you did what you could and only
wish you could have done more.
May God bless you all in this sad
time. X
What is home without mother?
What are all the joys we meet,
When her loving smiles no longer
Greet the coming of our feet?
The days are long, the nights are
drear
And time rolls slowly on,
And, oh, how few are now our pleas
ures
When her loving care is gone.

Dehydrated Beefsteaks.

chemist with a packing company here,
is experimenting with view to reduc-
ing the high cost of living, His latest
experiment is with beefsteak. By a
process of dehydratlOn-drawing all
the water out of the meat-the steak Is
In a good state of preservation and is
capable of being kept almost indef-
nltely. When 1t is desired to bring the
steak back to a condition Of freshness
all that is necessary, Mr.. SmOll says,
is to soak 1t in water. The meat Is said
never to lose its odor Of fresh meat
and 1t is as tough as sole leather
when dehydrated.
