Dull Faculties

Many a man and many a woman
feels all out of sorts from thin,
weakened blood. The least little
thing gone wrong throws them into
a wild form of dependency. Instead
of bracing up and meeting ordinary
difficulties, they are downed. Nerves
are on edge. Appetite lags. Sleep
is restless. They are weak and tired
and dull. Poor blood works it's hav-
oc till the will loses its power. Few
people who fall into habits of worry
and dependency realize that most of
their troubles are due to lack of en-
durance-to blood that has become
weakened by overwork or straining.
Healthy men and women with rich,
red blood see things brightly. They
tackle life with zest and go along
smilingly, full of eagerness and en-
durance.

Editorial
A Fact

In this establishment period a great num-
Der of stores are using enormous superla-
tives in order to "force business" They
are exaggerating as to the former values
and great price reductions of their mer-
chandise. This fact is true, for we did
little shopping ourselves and found con-
ditions exactly as stated.
There is no denying it, we are in the same
predcament as are thousands of other mer-
chants throughout the country. We are
over stocked with merchandise bought at
the old prices.
We, however, prefer to let the prices speak
for themselves. What so we'll as the pric-
es listed on this page could pay more elo-
luent tribute to our sacrifices in behalf of
the public?

MEN OF REAL POWER
PROPOSED BOND ISSUE

CARTER County is almost certain to be given an
opportunity within short time to vote on issu-
ing S500000 worth OF road construction bonds The
for the proposed issue found in the facts
that three times much work can be done now
on the same money as could have been done short
time ago. there is a shortage in the cotton crop that
makes it almost imperative that employment be given
the farming classes OF people; Carter county is pay
ing an enormous tax for maintaining bad roads
These taxes are paid in wear and tear on cars and
teams and by lack of good roads to markets. These
three reasons have been assigned why the road
bonds should be voted
Some very plausible reasons have been advanced
against the proposed issue and the question will re-
main before the people until the election is held and
the matter settled at the ballot box.
The election is somewhat removed from the pres
ent, ideas have not fully crystalized but it is our
opinion that the bond issue will receive ma ory
vote. All voters want good roads, all voters will also
appreciate the spending of the bond money and these
two features coupled with appreciation for the tire
less and efficient work OF the county commissioners
will win the election.

FURTHER SUFFERING

wiped out two thousand homes in the
Scutari section of the city. according
to reports reaching headquarters of
the Near East Relief here from the
Ottoman capital.

going to be extremely difficult for the
fire victims to find shelter during the
coming winter a season that is invar-
iably bitter on the shores of the Bos-

Even if the fire victims had the
means, which they haven't" one work
er declares. they would have the
greatest difficulty in finding any sort
of a shelter. For refugees are every.

the sidewalks in the daytime and one
steps over their emancipated forms in
the streets at night.
THE refugees camps of the Near
East Relief are full They were full
long before the fire. since the first
group of eXiles wandered into the city
from the strfe-ridden areas across the

Caucasus and southern Russia.
THE relief problem in CONSTANT

almost impossible of solution. AL

existing appropriations will allow. But

ELIHU ROOT

THE appointment of Elihu Root as a member of
the Disarmament Conference to represent the
United States is tribute to age. He was born in
S45 and is therefore 70 years OF age He is OF
the mental giants OF the world. SO deep has he
gone into the study of law that corporations have
paid him large to merely say yes no in
answer to questions about their business.
When young man he taught school to earn
money to attend law school and admitted to
the bar in New York in 1867. He is man who
has had abundance of experience to fit him for
service on the commission and he will reflect credit
upon the administration and upon his country. He
was Secretary OF War under Mckinley, he Sec
retary OF State under Roosevelt. he was given the
Noble Prize for Peace in 1912 he member OF
the permanent Court OF Arbitration at the Hague
and he was chairman OF the American Commission
to the Republic OF Russia under the Wilson Admin
iStration.
Mr.. Root is ably fitted by education and
by training to represent this country in the Dsarma-
ment Conference II is barely possible that Sena-
tor Lodge is OF greater intellect in way
than Mr.. Root possesses but they men OF diff
ferent temperaments and the difference is in favor
OF Mr. Root.

Children'S Work
At County Fair
By Eugene Ray

What did we see at the fair? IL
was well that we saw the handiwork
of the children of the public schools
That the children should have an ex-
hibit at the county fair is a hopeful
sign. In the old days only the faith
ers showed off. Their ears of corn
and stalks of cotton, their pumpkins
and potatoes their horses and cows,
their sheep and hogs were the whole
show.
Later, the mothers go in with sam
pies Of their handiwork. their jams
and jellies, their bread and cakes, their
crazy quilts and skirts.
And now the little ones, bless them.
get in with the things their hands
have found TO do and have done.
These stages in the evolution Of the
county fair show progress-a progress
that is better than prosperity.
The picture of the sunflower that
little girl painted is more attractive
than the flower itself, for in it is seen
the brush and hand child.
1t were well to enter that woman
building at the fair and stand in the
sacred presence of motherhood and
childhood. In the lines of specimen
penmanship one saw the children; be.
tween the lines one read the teachers
and the mothers. Over young hands
that sketched "A horse, boy, a plant,
a flower were older and gentler hands.
One little fellow had made a pic

our own country, but of other coun-
tries. And then there was a great
ship on the sea over which was the
admonition, BE a sailor boy and sail
around the world"
And here let il be understood that
the dominant note in these Carter
county schools is found in "The Star
Spangled Banner" Our Uncle Samuel
was neatly pictured in blue coat and
red and white striped trousers by a
lad or lassie and shown there on the
wall among those school exhibits and,

into pictures the words, Join the
Navy"

4 LITTLE Talk On THRIFT
RN s. W. Strauss

Pres. American Society for Thrift
1t is gratifying to note that an area
of active home building has been in
ausurated in this country. In all parts
of the nation reports indicate that the
construction Of small houses is going
forward extensively. While many of
these homes are being built for purely
investment purposes the fact remains
that thousands upon thousands of
Americans are building homes of their
own today and are thus eXemplifying
one of the most exalted manifestations
of thrift.
Many persons who have learned the
value of thrift can trace the beginning
of their success 20 the homecoming
impulse. II is easier for US TO save
money for definite purpose than TO
save merely for the purpose of accu-
mutation, and what object could be
more worthy Of our prudent practices
than the possession Of ones own home?
Not only may we look upon this
phase % thrift from a practical
standpoint. realizing that II we
buy wisely, we shall be making a
very good investment Of our savings,
but there is a splendid sentimental
value attached to the possession of n
home Linked with it are many of the
fines, inspirations and most tender
associations of life.
With the ownership Of a home
bought and paid for out of ones own
savings comes a feeling of possession
and accomplishment that can be ac
quired in no other way.
Here is something concrete-some
thing that stands as a monument to
ones good sense and prudence. And
when you have grown older, with
possibly a diminishing income, you
will find unspeakable comfort in the
knowledge that the dollars you saved
at such sacrifice have provided reaI
home for you-a hallowed spot that
during all the declining years of your
life will afford you place of refuge
comfort and security.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS

LOCAL Camp Fire Girls have begun movement
that should Dc popularized These girls that are
being trained to the practical things of Ife
have determined to wear for attendance upon school
shoes with sensible broad heels, dresses OF gngham
and stockings OF cotton There is some good motive
back OF an organization that would impel its mem
bers to break away from fashion. to break away
from custom, the risk OF being termed eccen-
trio in order to carry out principle OF common
sense and economy.
Fashion is a most unrelenting master. 1t has its
subjects do many queer things in order to obey its
mandates a young girl with otherwise bright
mind one who masters her lessons will heels
SO small and high that she gives out the ap-
pearance OF being deformed u- walking the
streets
If the Camp Fire Girls have the courage to stick
to their plans which call for simple sensible mode
OF school dress they popuarize their plan and
il will make far better health and better lessons and
for reasoning all other questions that
come before the school girl
1t requires a fund OF real courage break away
from an established mode OF dress but the Camp
Fire Girls taught the principles OF elf-reliance
and they ought to be able to stand and fight for
their plans and win the victory over the silly nflu-
ence OF fashion.

stripes ON the initial page, of course.
Rather touching is ii that more than

ginning: "Ye think they have all pass

primitive race of all this fair land,
That this verse should have been cop

the exhibit, shows how popular is the
sympathy for poor old Lo.
Another little composition in verse
was copied and illustrated by more
than one little girl-showing the sus-
ceptibility of the child mind. In these
lines a little miss discloses life--not
only her life but the mother life. On
Monday she washes hers and her dol
ly's clothes, on Tuesday she irons. on
Wednesday she plays or rests, on
Thurday she is Rt home to her friends,
on Friday she cleans house, and on
Saturday, with dolly she goes out to
see the sights. She doesn't tell what
she does on Sunday, but it will natur.
ally be presumed that little lady so
Industrious and punctilious on weeks
days, attends Sunday school on sun
day.
The little one has illustrated her life
aptly. There is her picture at the
wash tub. Next, she is perspiring with
an iron in hand. Another day she sits
dignified, entertaining her company. On
still another, she is shown with sleeves
rolled up, cleaning house. 1t is all
not only neat job but very true to
life. The little girl will find that she
has put in illustration her life as 1t
will be in all the years to come. ex-
cept she will have to take at least one
day to do some cooking.
In the picture of herself as washer.
Nwoman and ironer she is much larger
than she is in the other pictures but
that is no fault of the artist since
one who washes and irons should be
rather tall and stout.

GROW PURPLE VETCH
FOR VALUABLE SEED

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Due largely to the intermediary ef-
forts of the United States Department
of Agriculture, $50 acres of purple
vetch is reported as being grown this
year for seed in northwestern CalifOr-
MIA for use in the orchards of the
southern part of the state, where it
has proven superior green-manure
in California for green manure lies In
the fact that it makes more growth
during the winter months and can be
turned under earlier than other legume
crops.
Purple vetch was first brought to
this country from Italy in 1899 and Its
advantages have been appreciated for
a number of years, but 1t was not pos
sible to introduce 1t extensively be-
cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
gon where it was most valuable it has
not been feasible to raise purple vetch
in large quantities because of climatic
conditions In the North. on the
other hand, the seed can be grown sue
cessfully, but there the purple vetch
is not in as great favor for forage
as common vetch, which is harder and
has become established in popularity.
To make bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work of number of years
on the part of the department experts.
1t was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch in the
South, and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers to substitute it to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted In the market,
and also because, where sale was eff
fected, farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock. reserving no seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, large portion of
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon farmers will receive Az cents a
pound for purple vetch seed, which
should give them from $3.50 to 5000
per acre in addition to the straw. From
now on it is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.

co extract-made of tobacco refuse
from factories. This is a poison and
to be effective in killing the lice"
without fnjuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
tions given on the container United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin S56, on the control
of garden diseases and insects, has
the following to say regarding the use
Of nicotine sulphate:
For small garden plats one tea
spoonful of nicotine sulphate should
be used to one gallon of water. to
which a one-lnch cube of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed.
If larger quantity is desired, use one
fluid ounce to eight gallons of water,
with the addition of One-half pound Of
soap. Full directions are given on the
covers of packages, and Instructions
accompany them.
"In the use of nicotine sulphate the
effective application of the spray Is of
the utmost Importance, since it Is pri-
marily upon this that the success or
failure Of the treatment depends. If
the liquid has stood for any length of
time it should be agitated thoroughly
before use. The insects themselves
must receive thorough coat Of the
spray or they will not be killed, and
immediate inspection after spraying
should show the foliage occupied by
the insects to be completely wet.
Spraying should be done as early
as possible, always on the first appear
ance of the insect not only because
1t is good practice to keep the plants
free from pests but because more thor
Ough work can be done on small plants"
The main point is to start the fight
in time and kill the advance scouts
and head off the main army of insect
pests.
