RUGBY, TENNESSEE,
MARCH IL, 1921.

To the Citizens of Morgan County,
You are advocates of improvement
of our public road system. Your homes
and your interests are here, and you are
on the alert for your county's advance
ment, You are aware that the basis for
such advancement is good roads. You
are further aware that the development
of a county is as fast as, but no faster
than, the development of its highways.
We want road improvement; we need
it; we must have it. The logical way to
get it is to all put our shoulders to the
wheel.
With revised road laws more
suitable to the needs of present con-
ditions, and with the pending bet
terment of our county's financial
affairs, the dawn of a new era in
road matters appears. Every pro-
gressive policy submitted in con-
nection with road construction and
maintenance should, and, I feel,
strongly appeal to the approval OF
our public-spirited citizenship, and
will be cbampioned.
lam ever mindful of the respon-
sibilities incident to a proper con-
duct of the affairs of the Office you
entrusted to me, and 1 am giving
undivided attention to my duties.
On your part there is. I feel, a real
ization that your unwavering sup
port is essential if the ends to which
we aspire are to be attained.
1 feel that you are in full accord
with all measures looking to i'm
provement of this county's road

CHAPPED TEATS.

These may be caused by anything
which irritates them. The powerful
sucking of the calf; the sudden
chilling of the teat in winter after
the calf has just let go, or after the
completion of milking with wet
hand; contact with cold water, or
stagnant putrid water, or with filth
or irritants when lying down; slight
congestions of the skin in connec-
ton with over.stocking; and, in
deed, any source of local irritation
may cause chapping. This may be
slight or extended into great gaping
sores and induce retention of milk
or even inflammation of the bag.
Soothing applications of vaseline'
or a combination of equal parts OF
spermaceti and oil of sweet almonds
may be applied. If healing is tardy'
add ten grains balsam of Peru to
the ounce of ointment. If the irri-
tation is very great, wash first with
a solution of the following:
Sugar of Lead l dram,
Water pint,
Then apply benzonated oxide OF
zinc ointment.
WARTS ON THE TEATS.
These are often very trouble
some, yet they may be greatly bene'
flied or entirely removed by smear
ing them thickly after each milking
with pure olive oil. If they persist
they may be cut off with a sharp
pair of scissors and the sore touched
with stick of lunar caustic. They
may now be oiled and the caustic
repeated as demanded to prevent
their renewed growth.
SCABBY TEATS may be smear
ed with vaseline containing enough
carbolic acid to give it an odor.

have need of your help right
now. The purchase of additional
road tools implies an item of ex-
pense which, in the interests of
economy, and of making our funds
20 as far as possible, I desire to
keep down to a minium. From
time to time this county has bought
road tools, and road working ma
chinery; you have personal inter-
est in our road working equipment.
Why? because you, as taxpayers,
are contributors to the general fund
out of which it is purchased.
In order to know our needs with
reference to equipment for main
tanning our roads. must first pro
cure an inventory of the tools now
scattered over this county. You can
help. I earnestly solicit your assist
ance in determining the location Of,
and in listing, these tools. An item
of consequence Of your money is
invested in them. Without undue
delay'I must learn what tools there
are, where they are--with reference
to Civil District and place of storage
and their condition. The time draws
near when you look for relief on
your roads, and certain it ls that we
can not proceed without proper
equipment. Upon getting a record
of our tools will keep track of them
Let me have your energetic help
in this matter. Interest yourselves
in your respective districts and COM
munities; start a general inquiry
along the lines in mention. In this
manner we will locate every road
tool this county possesses, and ascer-
tain just what equipment we have
for an unusually large amount OF
road work pending for this year,
and 1 will be able to arrange to sup
ply such additional tools as may be
necessary.

want you to have them. Therefore.

RNAL HINDRANCES TO
EASY MILKIG.

Especially in the winter time,
even the gentlest of cows become
fractions and unruly when being
MIXED. This is generally caused
either by a soreness or inflammation
of the udder, or by chapped teats
or warts or growths upon the teats
The two latter causes are really the
most common and are the easiest
overcome.

TAFT NAMED CHIEF JUSTICE
Southern Democrats Praise Former
President--Four Votes Cast
Against Confirmation.

Washington, June 30. - Former
President William H. Taft was nom
mated late today by President Hard
ing to be chief justice Of the United
States supreme court and his nominal
ton was confirmed by the senate in
executive session.
The nomination was not confirmed
without opposition, however, and a roll
call was demanded. The opposition
was understood to have been voiced by
Borah, Idaho; johnson, California,
and LaFollette, Wisconsin, all Repu5li-
cans, who We're said to have criticized
Mr.. Taft's record and his nomination.
On the roll call, however, only four
votes were cast against confirmation,
These were BY Borah, johnson and
LaFollette, and Senator Watson, Dem
ocrat, Georgia.
The final vote was 60 to a. An
agreement was reached not to put the
roll call.
The senate's doors were closed for
discussion OF the nomination after
suggestions that Mr.. Taft be confirm
ed in "open executive session because
he is former president" and had been
rejected by his opponents.
Borah and Johnson Active
Senators Borah and Johnson led the
fight on the floor in opposition to Mr..
Taft while he was defended by about
dozen senators including Knox of
Pennsylvania, Kellogg Of Minnesota
and Willis of Ohio, Republicans, and
Underwood Of Alabama, minority
leader; Smith of South Carolina, Over
man of north Carolina and Broussard
Of Louisiana Democrats.

TO VOTE PARK BONDS JULY I'll

Monett viii vote on the issue of
$4,000 in bonds to buy and equip a
city park. The election call was made
by the Monett city council at the re-
quest Of the Commercial Club, who
had ascertained that the majority of
the people of Monett favored bond
issue for that purpose.
Monett has neglected to set aside
grounds for park and as there are
only few tracts available, they must
act now if they ever have park in
any reasonable distance from the town
The people are tired Of sponging on
the Peirce City people and the owners
of groves. They want to be free to
seek recreation in a shady woodland
which they can call their own.
AS two-thirds majority of all
votes cast must be favorable to vote
the bonds, the advocates of a city park
should work hard to secure the neces-
sary votes.
