A joint committee with Jere Whit
son as chairman, and l.. M. Bulling
ton, secretary, appointed by the
County Court, and at mass meeting
called by Representative King to
draft a new Road Law for Putnam
county, has been diligently at work,
day after day for more than a week,
and will have same ready to be pre-

From what we have learned about
this new law, it is good one and
will more nearly meet the needs Of
the county than any heretofore at
tempted.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
FOR WINTER EGGS

Early hatched pullets will mature
and begin laying early in the fall, and
II properly fed and cared for will
continue to lay thruout the winter"
say specialists of the Division Of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee
Regardless of good types of hous-
es, of how we'll yards are kept, Of
balanced rations fed, it takes early
hatched pullets to produce eggs in
the early fall and winter when eggs
are scarce and consequently high in
price.
Etarly Matching means chicks that
are past the danger point before the
hot weather sets in; it means more
chicks raised, longer growing sea
son. little trouble from Ike and d.
sease. lie means higher prices for
surplus cockerels, marketed as broil-
ers and it means greater profit. The
poultry pass word OF county agents is
match now"

The town Of Cookeville has perhaps
never had a better month for real
estate transfers thsn the past one
has been, and there seems to be no
let up to the boom. Lots ranging
in price from $3.50 TO $4,000 have
been selling like hot cakes, and the
prices realized are certainly encour-
aging, as 1t shows steady trend, and
is a good barometer to the business
confidence in Cookeville's future.

of Cookeville's progressive citizen
ship.

LONDON, Oct 17.--Parliament. which
adjourned two months ago instead of
being prorogued. because then it was
thought 1t might be necessary to sub
NIT the Irish settlement to 1t, will re-
assemble tomorrow.
The legislative body will consider steps
necessary to meet the serious unem-
ployment situation and the prevailing
trade depression. The session is ex-
pected to be short.
The Prime Minister, Mr.. Lloyd George,
will outline the Governments proposals
for dealing with relief OF unemployed.
Also he probably will announce the Gov
ernments policy with regard to the
forthcoming Washington conference on
the Limitation of armaments and make
known the composition or the British
delegation 1t is not improbable that
the Premier also will touch lightly on
Irish affairs and the Upper Sileeian de-
cision.
1t Is believed, however, that all mat
ters outside of trade, finance and uneni-
ployment are likely to be the subjects
of little debate and that the greater part
of the session will be confined to a dis
cussion of the Governments policy for
dealing with unemployment. In the event
that Mr.. Lloyd George goes to Wash
ington Austen Chamberlain will become
Acting Prime Minister, and In that ca
pacity will preside at the. Irish confer
ence.

Astor will have a companion In Mrs.
