ton county for the year 1921.

County Agent Hollingsworth has
given as a summary of his work in
Tipt0n county for the year 1920,
This summary Of the work accomp-
lished is not as complete as the re-
port which he furnishes the depart
ment Of agriculture, but it contains
ssme interesting information in re-
gard to the progress made during the
last IL months.
One of the first things accomp-
lished by the county agent was the
placing Of 80 registered Hampshire
gifts with members Of the Boys Ag-
ricultural Club. This was made pos

of $516 per hundred.
The first car Of livestock t. be
shipped from the county on the CO.
operative marketing plan was a car
Of lambs which were shipped in June
from Mason. BY shipping co-oDera-
lively the farmers saved Sl36.33 per
car.

came and there was no market for
the POTATOES the unity agent agreed
To receive the potatoes at the storage
house here and cure and market
them for the farmers of the county
without cost to the farmers except
the cost Of curing. There are be-
tween 700 and 300 bushels Of pota-
toes in the houses. If all the po-
tatoes in the county had been brought
in there would have been many times
this much. When the potatoes
were dug the market was about SO
cents bushel. The market on Ten
nessee Nancy Halls in Chicago is
now from SITE to So bushel.

 BILL BAILEY AND BRENNAN TO MEET
By CLIFF WHEATLEY sporting Editor Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta, January S.-(Special.)- Battling Bill" Bailey, young light heavyweight of the Walk Miller stable. will have his chance for "big league recognition on January IT, when he is matched to meet Bill Brennan, who gave Jack Dempsey the niftiest fight the Utah Mauler has had since fate adorned his brow with the champions s crown. Walk Miller stated last night that he had signed with Pet" Eos ter, Savannah fight promoter, and that he had beens assured Handsome Bilrs papers would be received within the next day or two.
 Walk declared he doubted the wis dom of steering the Atlanta fighter against such staunch opposition at this stage of his development, but he added that he was forced to take the drastic step because Marty Burke Happy Lit tlejohn and other pugs, who could in terest Bailey, had gracefully declined the sweetest sort of overtures.
 T don't know whether or not Bailey is ready to meet such battlers as Bren- man." Walk asserted but if his name is ever to be brought to the attention of fight followers throughout the na- tion, he will have to break in on the big time at some spot and I can't imagine Dettef oHerlng. IT Bailey is able to accomplish anything agains. the battler, who travelled 12 rounds with the heavyweight champion, fans of the United States will be perfectly willing to recognize his ability, and my boy is anxious for the test.
 Bailey has progressed in giant strides during the past year, and hum dreds of friends in this section believe he will make a splendid showing against the Chicago warrior. Bill has a wallop that will hurt any fighter on the face of the earth, and if he slips them over with any degree of regularity against Brennan, the west 'erner is going to vince even if he doesn't crash to the canvas

HARD BOILED GUY
 TO WHISTLE HERE
 ON MONDAY NIGHT
Rough House" Stevens Takes a Mean Picture-Has Very
 Wicked Looking Eye
By "CHANCERl.

The match here Monday night, Janu- ary 10, between Harry (Rough House) Stevens and Jack Yuska will be the lid opener of the local graphing sea son and it promises to be an event of interest and excitement to all local mat bugs.
 One look at the picture of Rough House" Stevens is enough to convince one that the Canadian grappler is q man not to be taken lightly. by any wrestler, for there is an appearance of ferocity about the features of this grappler that is not to be overlooked.
 A BAD. GUY
 With the whites of his eyes shining, his hands extended in cIutchng posi- tion, crouchng down like panther ready to leap at his prey, Rough House. looks every bit of his nick name. The above description is an ac curate reproduction of a picture of the Canadian champ loaned us by Birming ham Athletic club officials and which will be reproduced on this page as soon as a cut can be made.
 Just where Stevens got his nick name of Rough House. is not known -to the writer, but if he acts in ring like ne POSeS lOT pICLuTc, IL IS no longer a matter of mystery to us, for he is certainly a mean looking bird.
 The question is, will Stevens rough house. looks prove enough to frighten Jack Yuska into submission T' Most likely they will not, for Yuska is said to be something of husky locker himself. He is said to be a six x-footer with the usual barrel like chest of heavyw weight grapplers and with superb ly developed shoulders and muscles. It will be matter of science when the two meet, for both arc very evenly matched in the matter of physique. Perhaps Yuska is somewhat the more imposing of stature of the two grap- piers.
 BRAWN VS. LOOKS
 A tabulation of the facts found out about the two men indicates that Yuska will have the advantage in height and perhaps in huskiness. while Stevens has a great asset in the ability to look mean and to frighten some opponents stiff by his threatening attitudes Whether a really belligerent disposi- tion goes with this ability to look a rough house" artist or not remains to be seen. as we can find no record of wfere Stevens really tore down any rings while chasing his man around the same.
 Mot making any inSinuations against the worthiness of Stevens nickname of Rough House." we will really well
