MAKES SUCCESS

TOBACCO CROP OF GORDON
JONES IN LAWRENCE COUNTY
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
BRINGS HIGH PRICE PER lU.
-Four Acres Produce a Gross Return
Of About $500 an kcre--Sample
Makes Big Hit at the Warehouse
Sales at Lexington, Ky.

(F'rom Fridays Daily llerald)
1t remained for Maury countian
to demonstrate that the so.cailed
"barrCn lands" Of Lawrence county
just south Of Maury and west Of Giles
county, can grow not only the finest
quality of bright hurley tobacco, but
that il can be made even in this time
Of low prices and disbursement, the
most profitable crop that can be grown
in that county.
Gordon Jones, son of Hr. and Mrs.
Willis Jones, who year or two ago
purchased several hundred acres OF
this socalled cheap land in the bar
rcns" experimental during the past
year with -four acres of tobacco. Ills
success was even beyond his most san
gpine expectations. The yield was
splendid, g averaging arouid 1000
pounds to the acre.
n Mr. Jones sent his tobacco to the
Ware house at Lexington, Ky. and
there 1t was sold on one OF the big
sales days at auction. 1t brought the
very sratifyias price of thirty cents
pound This was near tho top. Not
only that the tobacco was Of such fine
color texture and flavor that it at
tructed the attention of expert judges
and newspaper representatives. Mr.,
Jones received some very nattering
press notices on his efforts
With the experience that he has
gained from this first crop Mr.. Jones
believes that he will be able to make
an even finer quality of tobacco this
year. His plant beds are all ready
and he is planning to double his acre
age. One of the leading bankers OF
the Tobacco district of Kentucky was
SO much pleased with the tobacco that
he, presented Mr.. Jones with fine lot
of seed that he is going to use this
year and has already promised to
make the ranch visit during the
growing season.
With gross return of $500 an acre
from his first crop, with all other pro-
ducts about him bringing less than
cost Mr.. Jones believes that he has
hit upon a crop that in time will prove
4 the most profitable sDnrce Of revenues
in that section. The land seems to be
especially adapted to the growing OF
1 tho weed.

HARDING PLEADS FOR
AMERICAN NATIONALITY
IN INAUGURAL ADDRESS

lish world court for the disposit on
OF such justiciable questions as ma
tons are agreed to submit thereto In
express aspirations. In seeking practi-
cal plans, in translating humanity's
new concept OF righteousness and JUS
tice and it's hatred of war into recon-
mended action we are ready most has
tily to unite but every commitment
must be made in the exercise of our
national sovereignty, Since freedom
impeIled. and independence inspired,
and nationality exalted, world SUI
per government is contrary to every
thing we cherish and can have no
sanction by our republic. This is not
seliishness, it is sanctity. 1t is not
aloofness, it is security. 1t Is not
suspicion of others, it is patriotic ad-
herence to the things which made us
what we are.
"Today better than ever before, we
know the aspirations of humankind
and share them. We have come to a
new realization of our place in the
world, and a new appraisal of our ma
ton by the world The unselfshness
of these United States is thing prov
en-, our devotion to peace for ourselves
and for the world is we'll established,
our concern for preserved civilization
has had it's impassioned and heroic
expression. There was no American
failure to resist the attempted rever-
sion of civilization, there wall be no
failure today or tomorrow.
1.-THE success of our popular govern
mont rests wholly upon the correct in
depreciation of the deliberate, inte.li
gent, dependable popular will of Amer
lea In a deliberate questioning of a
deliberate change of national policy,
where Internationally was to super
cede nationality, we turned to a refer
endum Of the American people. There
was ample discussion and there is a
public mandate in manifest under
standing.
America Is ready to encourage, ca.
ger to initiate, anxious to participate
in any scemly program likely to lessen
the probability of war and promote
that brotherhood of mankind which
must be Gods highest conception OF
human relationship. Because we cher
ish ideals of justice and peace, be
cause we appraise international CONT
ty and helufu relationship no less
highly than any people of the world
we aspire to a high place that moral
leadership of civilization and we hold
maintained America, the proven re
public, the mistaken temple OF repre-
sentative democracy, to be not only
an inSp ration and example, but the
| highest agency OF strengthening gooo
will and promoting accord on both
continents.
Mankind needs a world wide bene
diction of understanding. 1t Is needed
among individuals, among peoples
among governments, and it will inau
gurate an era of good feeling to mari
the birth of new order. In such un
derstanding mon will strive confident
/ ly for the promotion of their better
relationship and nations viii promote
| tho condition so essential to peace.
Our supreme task is the resump
ton of our onward normal way. Re
construction, reimbursement, restora
tion-all these must follow. ! woult
/ like to hasten them. If 1t will lighter
| the spirit and add to the resolution
