Miss Matte Trabue. of Il. B. |.
on her return from home, stated to
the editor of the Mountain Advocate
that her brother who is a straw
berry grower of Warren County had
cleared the tidy sum of $4,000 on
six acres of Strawberries this year.
We can do equally as well in
Knox County 1t is merely a mat
ter of getting together, forming
strawberry Growers Associations in
various sections of the county with

PISTOL TOTING

One of the greatest contributing
factors toward murder is the pistol
toting habit. It is true it is against
the law. but the statute is held in
contempt by thousands and held in
contempt because they are pistol
toters and are ready to use them on
officers who try to carry out the
statutes.
We propose as a remedy that the
AMERICAN LEGION OF KNOX
COUNTY. as part of the great or
ganizatiOn which is working for law
and order. shall pass resolutions
asking the National body to also
pass resolutions asking Congress to
strictly forbid the manufacture of
revolvers, their sale or possession
under the strictest penalty. Then
arm the officers with repeating ri
fes.
The possession of pistol. as Gov.
Morrow said recently. puts murder
in the heart Of many man who
otherwise would not think of it,"
The American Legion might get
the signatures Of millions of citi-
zens thruout the land against the
manufacture and sale of these wea-
pons which are made to kill
We commend the idea to the To-
cal post. Let the idea originate in
the Kentucky Mountains and let the
whole United States know that we
stand for law and order.

EARLY SAVED SEED
CORN THE BEST

Reports indicate that the corn
crop in Kentucky promises to be the
best in years and since we had late
spring. sort of a cool summer and
recent wet weather. it means that
an early frost would damage this
corn, at least for seed purposes. In
order to avoid the same situation
that existed in the spring of 1918
farmers are urged to gather their
seed corn early and dry it thoroly.
Further information along this line
can be secured in Circular No.13,

lection of Seed Corn"

AN INDICTMENT OF
THE DEMOCRATIC

When the Republican party makes
charges, it backs them up with facts.
# does not indulge in wlldly-ststed
gonrralitieS which mean nothing to
the citizen who is seeking enlighten-
ment upon the vital issues Of the
day.
When the Republican party charges
| the present Democratic administration
with gross waste and extravaganza
throughout the seven years it has been
in office, especially in the conduct Of
the war, it stands ready to offer Its
proof.
II has just been reported by tho
Treasury Department that, from April
6 1917, To February %, 1920, it paid
out on warrants Of the various execu-
tive departments the sum Of thlrty-six

GROW MORE LIMA BEANS.

A vegetable that is not enough used
is the Lima bean or butter bean. 1t is
liked by most people who have had it
placed before them often enough to
get acquainted with its taste. 1t is
very digestible, very nourishing and
nothing is easier to prepare for the
table. By planting early il can be had
from in July until frost in the green
state and then the dry Limas can be
used In our garden last year from a
half teacup of seed we had more fresh
Lima beans than we could use from
the first of August until the middle
of November, but we picked off
enough TO run us two weeks. Besides
this we gathered more dry Lima
beans that we will need for table use
and for seed, One planting, four of
FIVE civilizations, one sticking, they
were pole Limas, and the Lima bean
problem was solved for year.
The Lima bean can be grown any
where in the South, but il can be had
for a longer season at low and mod
crate attitudes and il does best on a
sandy loan soil and must have a
warm soil for successful results Ii
is a legume but it should not be
planted in a poor soil A good sweet
potato soil is a good soil for Lima
beans.-L. r. Neel, in Southern Agri-
culturist.

IMMENSE TUNNELS BEING
BUILT IN PITTSBURG

Pittsburg, March 16-Two tunnels,
each $500 feet long, for the use of
vehicles and pedestrians are being
bored through the range of hills
bordering the southern side of the
Monongahela River valley here, in
order that the thousands of persons
who live in the southern part of Al
legheny county and work in Pittsburg
may more easily reach the city. Work
on the tunnels, which began recently
will continue for more than two years,
engineers estimate. and the cost will
be $4,600OOO.
1t is proposed to have the tunnels
connect with high bridge which will
span the Monogahela rivet and bring
the tunnel traffic to the heart of the
business district OF Pittsburg. This
will cost $3,5OO,OO0 Each tube will be
made to accommodate two lines of
vehicle traffic, and in addition there
will be footpaths.

Come Out For TanIac
FORMER MAYOR
RECOMMENDS IT
HON. FRANK v. EVANS, OF BIR-

STRONG STATEMENT.

l0NE of the latest additions to the
" large and rapidly growing list of
prominent men who have publicly in
dorsed Tanlac for the good it has
done them, is the name of Hon. Frank
V Evans, former Mayor of Birming-
ham. Mr.. Evans is one of the best
known men in public life in Alabama
to-day, being at one time editor of the
South's greatest newspaper, the Birm-
ingham Age Herald. He was also ex-
aminer of public accounts of Alabama.
In telling of the benefits he had deriv-
ed from Tanlac, Mr.. Evans said:
For years | suffered with gas
tritis and indigestion in the worst
form. | was habitually constipated and
had pains in my shoulders and head
ache continually My appetite left me
almost entirely and everything |
would eat hurt me- Finally | got to
having awful attacks of acute indiges-
ton, palpitation of the heart and
smothering spells. For long time |
would have one or more of these
spells every night and | would wake
out of my restless sleep gasping for
breath

my surprise and qualification | began
to feel relief after the first few doses
| kept taking the medicine and now

UNCLE JOHN SHELLS" AGE
PROVES FAKE ACCORDING TO
NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.

There were hundreds of people who
paid to see Uncle John She'll at
the 1919 State Fair in Louisville, also
the Lexington Fair, believing he was
as represented, "the Oldest living man
age 131 years" The publicity given
this aged man by newspapers spread
to every section of the country, and
in order to fully comprehend his
habits of living. which caused his
longevity, DR.. l. L. Nascher, of New
York, recently visited the old Shell
home on Greasy Creek in the noun
tains of eastern Kentucky After max
ing extensive Investigations he says
in part in a page article in the New
York Sun and Herald of a few days
ago:
From the census report in 1910
down to the present time and other
evidences, | find that old man Shell
was born in Knox county, Tennessee,
ninety-eight years ago. He knows
little or nothing about his age. He is
feebleminded and lived in most
humble circumstances. His eldest
child is seveney-hve while the young
est is only four years of age. The
appearance of this old man at the
many fairs in the State was schemed
by friends near his home in order that
they might procure bushels of money
for him, bue instead, Mr. Shell claims
that he received only 500 of the pro-
ceeds."
