PUss IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory


Well. let US sec where we left little
Puxs Junior in the last story. Oh, now
l remember He was back once more at
the castle Of my Lord Of Carabas where
his father. the famous Puss in Boots, was
Major Domo.
You remember that the Ark had come
up to the window Of Pus5 Juniors room
and he had stepped out and Into bed,
hardly knowing what he was doing, for
it was late at night and guess he was
pretty sleepy. Well, when be woke up
the next morning, he was surprised as
he could be. And when lie jumped out
OF bed and ran over to the window TO
look out he saw his old father sitting
In the garden.
So Puss quickly pulled on his rad top
boots and ran down to see him. And,
oh my! How glad his father vast And
teen Puss sat down and told him all
about his adventures, and after that they
both went inside the castle to see my
Lord and Lady Csrabas-
Well, as the days went by, little Puss
took walks with his father through this
country and the woods, and one day as
they both sat down TO rest, they heard
tiny voice say:
WlQhlo. ENluE4er on
Tell me where you would like to ger
Over the hills and far away,
Down to the ocean white with spray,
Or go with me to G little house
Where lives a pretty tiny white mougeT''
''Who are your" asked Puss, for he
couldn't see anybody, and neither could
his father; but that wasn't so strange,
for he was pretty old, you know.
I'm the swallow who lives In the
royal stables" and then down from
a tree flew a little swallow.
"Oh, yes, 1 know you said Puss
Juniors father. 81 have seen you many
times. But where is the little mousa
house you speak Off"
Follow me-" said the swallow, and
pretty soon they came to q funny little
house at the foot Of a big oak treA
There's where she lives" chirped the
swallow
So Puss and his father walked up and
knocked on the front door, and pretty
soon a little mouse looked out OF the
upper windows, for she was q very
timid little creature and never opened her
front door without first looking out OF
the window.
Mercy me!' she cried. Here are two
cdto knocking on my 'front.' door! ana
then she slammed down the window
and hid behind the old grandfather
clock in the corner OF the room.
'Dickory, dickory dock.
I'm hiding behind the clock.
SO please go away, for I'm sorry to say
l haven't put on my new frock."
ooh well. we'll call another time
said little Puss Junior, and then he
and his father went back to the castle.
and the swallow flew back to the royal
stables and told an old owl who lived
nearby what a fussy thing Miss Mousey
was, and IN the next story you shall
hear what happened after that-Copy-

ALUMNI BANQUET
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
ATTENDANCE RECORDS PROMISE
TO BE BROKEN WHEN NEW
CLASS rs ADMITTED.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
From present indications the alum
nj banquet at the County High School
is going to be more largely attended
next Friday night than any banquet
in the history of that organization
The attendance increases from year
to year, but with the largest gradual
ing class the school has ever known to
be admitted to membership and with
interest aroused all over the county,
the records promise to be broken.
Chairman Gilbert Orr and the mem
bers of the arrangements committee
believe that they have provided the
best program that has ever been pre-
sented to the people of the city. There
will be something doing from the time
the guests assemble until the last
speech is heard. All of the details for
the affair have been worked out.

quest for Information and assistance

ly to the new ex-service mems bureau
which has been set up in Knoxville
with Guy H. May, state 'adjutant of the
American Legion as director.
The bureau was created by the re-
cent legislature, an appropriation OF

years being made. The bill was &C
lively sponsored by the Legion and
Gov. Taylor, who appointed Mr.. May
Director upon recommendation Of the

to serve as the connecting link between
deserving ex-service men Of the Vul.
unteer State and the government com
pensation bureau at Washington.

HOE SOLD FOR ONE
CENT OVER FREIGHT
PRODUCER GOT ONE DOLLAR
BUT THE EXPRESS CHARGES
ON 1T WERE SO CENTS.

That the transportation charges are
altogether out of line with the prices
that farmers are receiving for their
products is conclusively demonstrated
in letter received by c. A. Leland, of
Crestview, Lawrence county, and copy
of which has been sent to The Her
aid office Mr., Leland SHIPPED cow
hide Ito his dealer at Columbia and
sent it by xepress. The dealer sold
the hide to the best advantage and
received the magnificent sum of one
dollar. The express charges from
Crestview to Columbia were ninety
nine cents leaving the balance of one
cent to be RENTED to the producer of
the. hide Accompanying the remit
lance was the statement that hereaft-
er no hides should be shipped as il
was impossible to dispose of them
Doubtless Mr. Leland will accept the
advice. SThe experience of Mr.. Leland
is concrete evidence of the necessi-
ty for the reduction in railroad operat-
ing expenses as contended before the
railroad board. II demonstrates pref
ty conclusively that the agricultural
producers Of the coutry cannot long
endure experiences of this character.

FOUR YEAR OLD JERSEY
BREAKS STATE RECORD

Dairying is fast becoming one Of the
big industries in Tennessee. The
quality of cows is rapidly being inn
proved and every few months records
for butter fat and milk production are
being smashed This is due to official
COW testing work which makes it pos
sible to know what each COW produces
and enables the owner to weed out the
'boarders" and send to the butcher
block
Loisettes Fairy, is the latest to set
new record. She is a four year old
COW owned by George Bradford, of
Madison, Tenn, and has just finished
an official record that places her as
the champion junior four year old
test at four years and three months of
age and produced 8,91S pounds of milk
and sos pounds of butter fat. This re-
cord places her among the top notch
producers in this state. She is a
granddaughter of Raleigh's Fairy
Boy.
Another important event for the dali
ry industry was the East Tennessee
Jersey Breeders sale held at Knox
vile on May 6. Fifty-two head of high
class cattle, including 40 cows and
heifers and bulls sold for $S,105 an
average of $156. The highest priced
animal sold brought $425, and only a
Few brought under 500. In view of
present conditions in agricultural and
Industrial circles this was considered
4 good average by the breeders who
made consignments to the sale. Buy
srs were present from four states and
many parts of Tennessee indicating
the interest in dairying at this time.
Hundreds of Tennessee farmers are
'aking up dairying. In fact there is
more interest at this time in dairying
han ever before and an encouraging
feature of the movement is that the
farmers are starting out with good
cows and are having them tested, say
larry specialists.

TENNESSEE HARD
! TO IMPROVE ON
DECLARES DEAN
DISTRICT AGENT REPORTS HIS
TOUR OF INVESTIGATION IN
THREE STATES.
LIKE OUR METHODS The BEST
But Declares That Lancaster County,
pennsylvania Is All That Has Been
Claimed for II As Probably Best
Farm County in Nation. sd

In letter written from Lancaster,
Pa, the center of Lancaster county,
generally pronounced the greatest gen
eral farming county in the United
States, Prof. James NJ. Dean, district
agent, writes The Herald, that he is
having a great trip on his tour of in
spection and observation of farming
conditions for the division of extern
sion of the University of Tennessee.
Prof Dean writes that he spent two
days at Winchester Va, to see
and learn of their greatest industry,
the apple. He states that the farmers
of Frederick county, Virginia, ship
ped last year 1,65O,OOO bushels. Re-
cent freezes destroyed ninety per cent
of this years crop and business has
been correspondingly depressed since
the apple is to that section what cot.
ton is to many counties in the far
South.
Mr.. Dean spent while at Hagers-
town, Maryland, where he investigat-
ed extension work and farm organi-
cations. From here he went to Ian
caster for stay of several days. In
company with the county agent he has
toured that county. He found the
county all that had been claimed for
it, one of the best if not the best farm
ing counties, all things considered, in
the United States.
However, Mr.. Dean adds, that after
all Tennessee is hard to improve upon
and he believes after this investiga-
tidn that. the methods for conducting
The extension work and organizing
the farmers in Tennessee, are far
ahead of anything he has yet seen.
From Lancaster Mr.. Dean goes to
New Jersey to investigate their meth
DDS in the production, saving and mar
keting of the big commercial sweet po-
tato crop In New York state he will
investigate farm organization and
marketing which has been undertaken
there on big scale by the state gov
eminent. He will then visit the ia
nous Connecticut valley in New Eng
land.
Mr.. Dean will return by way of
Knoxville in order to attend the dedi-
catory exercises there on June T.

Veniremen have been empanelled and

Mr.. Anderson has been requested by
Judge Turner to summon just as many
witnesses each day as could testify

At the next term of court it will be
necessary for Judge Turner to appoint
foreman of the grand jury, and it is
not unlikely that w. o. Witherspoon

1t is not believed that the May term

ALLEGED ROBbER
MOUNT PLEASANT
BANK IS CAPTURED
MISSOURI SHORTY BEING HELD
BY MEMPHIS POLICE FOR Al
LEGGED ROBBERY.
SHERIFF EXPECTED GO FOR HIM
Second Opportunity to get Wanted
Man Since Robbery, First Being
When He Was Arrested in New
York Last Summer.

Winston-Salem, ". c.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Missouri Shorty" who is believed
to have robbed the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank at Mt. Pleasant last
spring. has been arrested in Memphis,
according to telegram received by
Sheriff G. X. Houser from the chief Of
detectives in the Bluff City, and it is
expected that the sheriff will either
so or send one of his deputies to the
West Tennessee metropolis for him. 1t
is understood that Shorty" was ar
rested there, charged with the rob
berry of one or two banks in that sec
ton possibly in Arkansas or Missls'
sippi.
This affords the second opportunity
to bring Shorty back to Maury coun-
ty to stand trial, and it is not believed
that officials will permit this opportu-
nifty to pass. The first chance to
bring the wanted man here was when
he was arrested in New York, and at
that time had in his possession say
ings stamps and bonds, which officers
were sure were stolen from the Mt
Pleasant Bank However. some hitch
came in getting papers. and officers
did not make the trip to New York
and Shorty" slipped through their
fingers.
The robbery of the Mt. Pleasant
bank creaed profound sensation
throughout this county. the building
having been entered and vault door
blown off, after which the yeggmen
helped themselves to the contents OF
the customers strong boxes, which he
opened with jimmy or iron bar It
was estimated that the total loss
amounted to $25,O6 or $4,000 Gus
toners who were robbed later inst
tuted suit against the bank to reco'
the amounts taken. the court held
however, that the bank was not liable
for damage.
