Grafton Without Offending the Sen

Here is q true and amusing story Of
the late Andrew Carnegie, as told by
a young Irish sculptor who was en-
gagged in decorative stone carving at
Skibo castle, the multimillionaire's
magnificent Scottish residence
Carnegie was awakened every morn
ing by the shrill skirling Of bagpipeS
played under his window by his pri
vate piper After breakfast the great
man would appear in a long fawn,
sleeveless Overcoat to view the prog
ress OF the sculptor's work His IA
Vorite ornament in stone was a wild
cat. the Sutherland emblem. and lot
OF these ferce-loOoking animals had
been carved on various parts Of the
castle. One morning Mrs. Carnegie
accompanied her husband on his usual
round of inspection. "WeH," said the
late millionaire, pointing with pride
to piece Of work in which the wild.
cats were prominent what do yor

just for a moment Carnegie's face
expressed disappointment Then. struck
by what ne no doubt regarded as a
happy thought. he turned to his wife
and, with whimsical smile, said ::
All right, my dear, never mind; Wen
have tame cats instead"
And although stone cats continued
to be carved whenever there was an
appropriate position for them In the
decorative scheme. from that time on
ward they were, as Carnegie had de-
ciared, In order not to offend the SEN
sibility Of his wife, tame cats.

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE

HCWARn G0uNFY WILL
 PLANT MUCH SORGHUM
Howard County Farmers Decide to
 Raise Sorghum and Quit Buying Expensive Sugar.

Nashville, May 13,-At a meeting of the Fair Price Committee for Howard county held in this city it was re- solved that the one sure way to reduce ehe present High Cost of Living is to increase production.
 It was further resolved that in view of the present supply and price of su- gar that this committee should advo- cate and assist in every possible way in the production of a bumper crop of sorghum in Howard county this year. The 1919 American sugar crop is now exhausted and wholesalers are having to compete with buyers from all parts of the world in securing what sugar we i get and the price will likely reach un- l heard of levels in the near future as i the United States Government did not l buy foreign sugar last year for domes- tic needs as it did during the war, and 1 therefore, is not in position to govern the prices. of this foreign grown sugar Sugar is now retailed at 2Sc per pound and upward which practically assures very satisfactory price to the pro- ducer of any kind of syrup.
 If every farmer in this county will l plant an acre or more really good land of sorgrum this year it will not only provide himself and family with a good substitute for high priced sugar but the sale of the surplus syrup will pay him well for the time spent in pro- ducing the crop. The non-saccharine varities should be grown for foreign crops.
 Refinery syrups are now selling on the local markets at $185 per gallon and homemade sorghum cannot be bought at any price and if the farmers of this county will produce sufficient quantities of syrup to supply more than the local demands the members of the fair price committee will bring buyers here and establish market for all surplus sorghum.
 The committee is also working on plans to offer prizes for the largest production of syrup per acre, and for the best quality produced in the county.
