ELECTRICIANS IN PROTEST.
Urge City Commission To Do Away
With 500 License Fee.

Electricians of the city are continu-
ing to protest against the city ordi-
nance requiring 800 license fee from
electricians. They appeared before
the city commission today urging the
commission to do away with such a
requirement, and ask only bond from
such dealers.
Recently the city attorney was in
structed to take means of collecting
the 800 license fee from the electri-
clans. The ordinance had been ap-
proved by the district court in suit
brought several months ago by certain
electricians. but a number of the deal
ers had never paid the 800 fee. The
city commission agreed to withhold
from collecting the 800 fee until a
new city ordinance had been passed on
the subject, probably next Tuesday.
No promises were made as to what
the new electrical license ordinance is
to contain. 1t is possible that only a
bond will be require from electricians
under the future ordinance.
Among those who held the brief for
the electricians before the commission
this morning were F. L. Robbins. E. L.
Overton, H. B. Howard, John Mercer
and George Sardou.

In the two weeks which have
passed since the opening of the rest
room in the city hall, more than 225
persons have used the facilities pro-
vfded there, according to Milton Tabor,
secretary of the Merchants associa-
tf0n, which furnished the place
Most of the people who have used

farmers in town for shopping. Tabor
says that the feature which has
Seemed to be most appreciated is the
Nursery in which children may be left
While their. mothers are shopping.
The children are left in the care of
Miss Louise Kreigbaum, the matron.
The equipment which is provided
for the preparation of lunches at the
rest room is also much used, Tabor
said.
tt'The record thus far shows that the
place has been popular from the start,
with just the class of people that we
want it to be popular with, and that it
is getting more So" Tabor says.

canada will proclaim herself outside

EDespite intimation to the contrary.
it was definitely learned today that
the United States government has not
made any official representation
against the renewal of the Anglo-Jap-

give YOUR HOGS A VAR.
ETY 0F PROPER FOODS

A variety of feeds always gives bet.
ter results than one feed alone, es-
pecially- In the feeding of hogs, says
g. A. Wilson, dean of the College OF
Agriculture, University of Tennessee
For example, much better results
may be obtained from corn fed with
some other feed than from corn alone.
Corn is lacking in protein, and, there
fore, the supplementary feed should
be rich in protein.
The principal protein feed of the
South is cotton-seed meal. In many
feeding trials, however. it has proved
TO be poisonous to hogs when fed for
a longer time than three weeks. Work
at the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton by W. A. Withers has shown that
this poisonous effect can be largely
overcome by the use Of copperas. But
even when fed with copperas, don't
give ii to pigs under three monks of
age or to pregnant brood sows.
Cottonseed meal may be used for the
last three weeks In balancing the
corn ration fed to hogs intended for
the market, with no danger of poison
ing.
1t may be used for longer periods
with the same class hogs IL copperas
is fed with ii. The poisoning, we be-
lieve, however, often results from the
feeding of too large a proportion of
cottOnseed meal In the ration. II just
enough were used TO balance the corn
ration there would not be the danger
that there is when the meal is used
In large amounts.
One part by weight Of cottonseed
meal to six parts of corn is ordinarily
enough of the meal to balance the
corn ration for the hog intended for
market. More than this is often waste
full.
Where cottonseed meal Is to be used
IN the ration for a period longer than
three weeks. copperas should be fed
with il 10 Hcu,nlllze its detrimental
effects. 4 solution of cOpperas should
be made up in the proportion Of four
pounds of CopPens 10 fifty. gallons of
water \ quart of this solution should
be fed for every pound OF cOttOnsee,l
meal.

OR exports of fresh, canned and
cured beef during the Us al year end
ing June 30, 1921, was 54,COOOOO
bounds as comps" ed with 216,000,O00
i. unds for the fiscal year ,nding
June 80, 1920. This indicates that
our exports Of beef for the past fiscal
year have been only about one
fourth of our exports for the year
before Still another factor which
has helped to decrease consumption
on demand Is the high retail prices
fO- meat The retail prices for fresh
beef have not declined n proportion
tn the decline in prices of beef cattle
81 wholesale prices of beef. The re
tail meat men explain their high
prices by stating that rhe consumers
viii buy only loinS rounds, etc, ard
will not lake front quarters or cheap
or cuts 1T any price. As a result
they have to charge high prices for
the cuts which are salable in order
to come out. While the movement
of feeder cyttie TO the country feed
lots seems to be on the Increase X
has not been as large this season as
was naturally anticipated. This be-
ing due perhaps to scarcity of money
and the fact that feeders have hest
tated TO buy feeder cattle because
they have not forgotten the heavy
losses sustained during the past two
years in their feeding operations.
However, with two bumper corn crops
in succession giving very cheap sup
ply of corn and the relatively cheap
supply of feeder cattle it looks like
good year to feed, and very probably
the cattle feeders will be in the mark
et stronger for feeder cattle as the
season advances. z
The emergency tariff excluding Ca
madam cattle, prospects for increas-
ed feeder demand, increased meat ex.
ports in August and the signs of gen.
eral industrial improvement through
out the country which will give en-
ployment to labor and cooler weather
are few influences that may tend to
improve the cattle market to a slight
extent
