Came a Sunday when the tempera-

arctic Winds and that part of James
Italian ancestor within him crawled
down into the depths of his nature
and fell fast asleep. But his Puritan
principles were right in their element.
They decided that never, no never,
would James be happy with anyone as
frivolous as Pauline. 1t was in this
frame of mind that James went to
call on Miss Merritt that evening.
That seventh sense, which warns all
women when a man is about to pro-
pose, was on the job, and Miss Mer-
ritt's reply was prompt.
Mr.. Manning she said calmly,
ARE you sure you would rather marry
me than any other woman in the
world? l will leave you for 20 min
utes then I shall return and ask you
the same question again"
James Manning gazed at the door
through which Miss Merritt had passed
until the sound of her footsteps ceased.
He hid his face in his hands. How
did she know? Then deep within him
something stirred and there came a
great longing for Pauline-Pauline
who, soft and fragrant and elusive In
her luxurious garments, typiied all
that Miss Merritt lacked He would
find her He would take her in his
arms and tell her how he loved her.
James raised his head, stood up,
stretched out his arms involuntarily
to the yision-and some one entered
the room and walked straight into
them,
Would you rather marry me than
any other woman in the world, Jim
mie?" The voice came with muffled
sweetness from James shoulder Ut

at the same time loathing himself for

Pauline drew away from James en-

why is a ScrubY

Five dollars worth Of iron made

it sells for more than a million dol

into scrub cattle bring only a mod

purebreds they bring astonishing
prices. Change your feedstuff into
purebreds.
Why put your good feed into a
scrub that is worth only $40 at a
year old, when you could put the
same feed into a purebred and sell
it for $65?
Why pay SIS for scrub bull that
is worth less than $50, when you
can get a purebred bull for $500
that is worth $500 on rs cows?
Why breed scrubs that will kill
out only 45 to 55 per cent, when
you can breed purebreds that will
kill out from 50 to GA per cent? \
Why use a scrub bull that sires a

when you can use a purebred bull
that win sire calves of uniform

viii please the eye Of the buyer, and

Monroe County Farmers Interested
in Better Cattle.

AT meeting Of the organization
committee Of the Monroe Council of
Agriculture and number of breed
ers of purebred beef cattle at Madi-
sonville recently, it was decided to
hold sale of purebred bulls of the
three beef breeds Shorthorn. Angus
and Hereford-some time this fall.
according to Agent H. X. Foster. A
committee was selected to work out
the details and to assist the county
agent in advertising and interesting
livestock men and farmers in maxi

the local paper the above committee
say that they believe that the inn
nrovement and increase in better
livestock, together with more land
in pastures. and more hay and grain
marketed through livestock is the
only way to bring about permanent
Improvement Of Monroe county
farms.
It is planned later on, should this
sale be a success. to hold sales of
purebred dairy cattle, hogs and
other livestock, and possibly to make
the sales an annual event. Agent

WILSON AID COL HOUSE
ARE RECONCILED

A report that Ex-President Will
son and Col. House had made up"
their mysterious break and were now
exchanging friendly letters has been
IN circulation around Washington for
several days.
1t mas the basis that Mr.. Wilson
has spoken kindly of the 0ne-time
special representative to recent visi-
tors and friends Of both say that if
there was ever any bitterness it has
undoubtedly passed.
There does not appear to be any
definite information on the subject.
Mr.. Wilson has steadfastly declined
to make any public comment on any
matter since he left the White House.
Joseph P. Tumulty, his former secre-
tary, who is still close to the ex-
president, says he knows nothing
about it.
Others who may be presumed to Be
in Mr.. Wilson's confidence deny en-
phatically that there was ever real
breach between him and Col. House,
and point to the circumstance that
there has never been an accepted rea-
son adduced for the assumed quarrel.
They say Col. House did not call on
the ex-president because he had no
business and wished to spare Mr..
Wilson during his illness.
This theory does not wholly &C.
cord with the facts. Many Of Mr..
Wilson's friends, though they knew
he would not see them, left cards for
the sick president. 1t is not re-
corded that Col. House, though he
was in Washington, on one or more
occasions, left any cards.
At Paris it was said, and generally
believed, that the trouble occurred
over Fiume. Col. House was reported
to have taken the Italian end Of the
controversy, while the chief, acting
on the advice Of his experts, thought
Eiume should GO to Jugo-Slavia.
"A recent book purporting to lift the
curtain on the happening had II that
MT. Wilson was annoyed because
British influence, exerted through
social attentions, got the colonel to
espouse the Japanese side Of the
Shantung difficulty, that he might
influence Mr.. Wilson to yield on that |
point.
A third explanation, frequently
discussed in Washington, was that
they broke over Of the appointment
Of A. Mitchell Palmer to be attorney
general, and d fourth story had It /
that Col House came home without
consulting his chief, which the latter
construed as desertion.

BANKERS URGED TO
AID DAIRY FARMERS
BUSINESS REPORTED BEST IN
DAIRYING COMMUNITIES
Facts Show That Dairying is Best
Source of Income Since Boil
Weevil Reduces Cotton Production
Remarkable Progress Made in
the Industry and Tennessee Leads
All Other Southern States-Farm-
ers Urged to Break Away From
One-Cr0p System.

A comparison Of the financial con-
dition Of dairy farmers and dairy
communities with cotton farmers and
cotton communities in the South
brings out the fact that while 50 OF
80 per cent. Of the cotton farmers
owe the banks money and are asking
for extension on their notes, there
are almost no instances of notes held
against dairy farmers. The mer-
chants in towns surrounded by the
best dairy communities report their
business throughout last fall and
winter as remarkably good
This statement is made on the au-
thority of the extension Of dairy
husbandmen, who, for nearly 10
years have been engaged in the
movement carried on by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the state agricultural colleges
to build up dairying in the South
and furnish the farmers with
source of income after the boil
weevil had reduced the production
of the South's greatest staple.
TO farmers these facts should lend
encouragement to break away from
the one-crop system, specialists of
the Division of Extension, University
Of Tennessee say; TO the bankers and
business men they should be con-
vincing proof that greater farm
prosperity, attained by more per
manent and constructive type Of
farming, benefits the entire com
munity. The growth of the dairy
industry throughout the South IS
limited in very large degree by
the willingness and ability Of bank
ers and other moneyed interests to
finance the cotton farmer of the
past in buying cows and making the
changes in order to branch
out in new line. The dairy indus
try has made remarkable progress in
Tennessee in recent years, now be-
ng' the leading dairy state Of the
South. G. Al. Hutton, dairy special
list for the Division Of Extension.
states that the above facts should
stimulate more farmers to take up
dairyine. especially in the cotton
communities.

Poultry Club Girl Makes splendit

Poultry Club Girl Makes Splendid
Success.
Three years ago Mildred KIM
brough, Of Giles county, sold enough
garden seed to pay for her first set
ting Of eggs AT the fair in the fall
she secured several prizes, and the
next spring she had saved enough
money to buy a registered Palana-l
China male. AT the county fair the
second year she had the best pig III
the club work, and secured prize
$40, also several prizes on her
poultry. With profits made from
the sale Of her pic and her poultry
she paid for a Jersey COW and calf
and Poland China gilt. From a fl
nancitl standpoint this is the most
successful club girl in the county,
SAYS Mrs. Anne Warwick Haynes,
county home demonstration agent.
Mrs, Haynes reports that a very
interesting part Of the poultry club
work in Giles county is the part
that a few of the members of the
poultry associations have taken bv
letting their children have eggs, for
which they return pullets this fall
| at the county fair. One breeder Of
i Bluffs has given to the poultry club
over 500 worth Of eggs.
j County agents throughout Ten
nessee are interested deeply in Sc
curing greater poultry production
and in encouraging boys and girls to
grow poultry. The above is splen-
did example of the results that are
being accomplished. Agents have
conducted many campaigns, showing
| the advantages Of the purebred over
mongrels, as well as the need for
| correct housing conditions and feed

have been organized and club menu
