on our part.
While the farmer is confronted BY
many conditions that are diseouraging,
excessive taxes, low prices for his
products, and in many cases wartime
prices for things he has to buy, these
conditions must be faced. We know
that the people must be fed. They can
not live without food, and the food
must be produced by the farmer. The
problem of the farmer is to get his
his rightful share of the price paid by
the consumer for the products of the
farm. To do that he must be able to
more thoroughly prepare that product
for the consumers use, and himself get
closer to the consumer in marketing
his products. He cannot afford longer
to dump it on the market without re-
gard for the damands of the market.
He must prepare himself to supply
his products just in keeping with the
needs and demands of the consumer.
This can be done only by farmers
working out a feasible, practical plan
of comparatively preparing their prod
ncats for the market, and by co-opera-
lively marketing it.

AN ARMISTICE DAY PRAYER.

In Judge A. B. Meals court in
Nashville, on Armistice Day, Rev. A,
| Myhr, of the 9th District of David
son county, a juror, offered the fol-
lowing beautiful prayer:
"Our Father, we thank Thee for the
soldiers of America, known and un-
known, who had the courage, the
manhood and the love for the home
land-not only for the homeland, but
for all lands-sufficient to give their
lives, if need be, for the peace and
safety Of those of other lands. We
pray Thee to preserve our country,
which they bought with their blood,
and our institutions, so that these
may serve the best interests of our
people, that we may abide in peace
and harmony with the purposes of
God, keeping the high ideals which He
has taught us. May Thy blessings be
upon the home land and upon every
land. May the men who are leading
our country, who are set to be office
bearers for us, be inspired by high
ideals and directed by the Spirit Of
God. May we remember with graft
tude those Unknown Soldiers who
died for us, and seek to be good citi-
zens, honoring their memory and
making our country what Thou pur-
posed it to be. So lead us, and bless
us and use US. We ask in the name Of
Christ"

/ call the attention of the teachers
to the fact that they are not reporting
the children that are not in school.
This complaint has come from the
Truant Officer. This must be done
and those parents that are not send
ing reminded that the compulsory
school law is still in force. This in
cludes the town of Lexington and
other Incorporated totwns the same
as the rural districts.
Do you have a sanitary water
cooler in your school? If not you can
get vinegar or kraut keg cheap and
at the same time serve the same pur-
pose as a costly cooler. This keg
with good faucet will cost you about
one-third as much as the ordinary
cooler.
AS soon as you organize a commun-
ity club for your school, please notify
me the results you have had. The i'm
portance of this club cannot be over
emphasized as it can do good service
for the school. There is a school in
this county which has raised nearly
$4,000 through the community club.
Let's all get these clubs organized by
December 10th at the latest.
There are number of schools in
the county giving an extra month in
addition to the free school. This is a
good idea as it will derive better re-
suits from the money spent fer the
free school. Is your school among this
number?
Did you know that the replacing of
window lights is one of the biggest
repair bills the county has to pay each
year? One school had sixteen lights
broken out since last summer school.
The parents are asked to help cut
this item in the school account.
Beginning on Thanksgiving Day
the Anti tuberculosis Association will
begin campaign to sell Christmas
Seals for the benefit of that organi-
cation. The schools are asked by the
State Superintendent to take the lead
In this drive. The pupils will be ask
ed to sell the stamps and for every
five dollars worth of stamps sold the
school will receive a nice picture that
will be well worth the time, for the
purpose of identifying your rooms. If
you. want a nice picture to decorate
your school rooms, this is good
chance.
! Don't forget the Teachers meeting
to be held here Saturday, Nov. 26th.
The committee has arranged a good

The program will be announced in sep
arate column this week or next.

Just what the present Republican
President, Senate and House, are be-
ing so long about flooding the country
with prosperity compared with which
the best Democratic times would seem
like a direct panic, is hard to under
stand. Under Wilson, of course, tariff
on foreign made goods was not any
thing like it ought to be--so why the
delay in boosting custom duties, as
everybody can see that the higher
clothing, higher shoes, higher hard
ware, etc, etc, could not fail to help
farmers who are making and selling
the raw products at low prices dictat-
ed by the generous, protracted manu-
faeturer, who shudders at the very
thought of labor prices paid the pau
per workers in Europe. High, very
high tariff duties should be imposed
on all farm products-none of which
come to this country. What fools
some of we mortals be.

sAvOYARD ON THE NEGRO.

Cid man Newman, the Washington
syndicate writer, known in the news
paper world as "Savoyard" has lost
none Of his pep" and punch as dis
penser Of facts-political, social and
other. On the question Of President
Harding's recent Birmingham explo-
sion on the race question, "Savoyard"
said, in substance, that if Presidence
Harding is so anxious for political
equality for the black man, why does
he not begin his crusade in his own
state of Ohio, which commonwealth in
1920 had 1858 negro citizens. He
asks what political rights have the
blacks in Ohio other than voting the
Republican ticket land answers
'snone, absolutely none." Not negro
Judge on the bench in Ohio or any 9TH
er Northern state. "Savoyard" says
further that if there had been negro
candidate for vice-president in 1920,
the candidate for president on oppos-
ing ticket would have received every
electoral vote in the United States.
Savoyard says the negro is hopeless
because he has no pride Of race and
says thoughtless folk have often COM
pared the negro with the Jew
who has suffered all the tortues of OPP
pression-yet the Jew has been pre-
served and has alwoys been a strong
factor in the world of business,
politics, literature, etc, because he has
never ceased to be proud Of his race
proud he is a Jew. Savoyard con-
cludes with the statement that the ne.
gro is as much a slave to the G. o. P.
in 1921 as he was to his white master
in 1851.

AN "ULCERLESS" ULSTER.

In writing of peace plans in Ire
land, John Steele concluded with this
statement:
"In the meanwhile Ulster is renew
ing its 1914 military bluff. II has
been announced that 10000 Uuster
imperial guards will march tomor-
row to Protestant churches for spec
ial prayers for the future of Uuster.
In 1914, however, Lord Carson was
commander-in-ehief of the Ulster ar
my, while Lord Birkenhead was his
chief lieutenant. Now Lord Birken-
head is committed to a settlement
with the Sim Fein and Lord Carson
is urging Ulster to accept them"
II has been said that the "bluffing"
of England by Ulster in 1914, had
much to do with pereepitating the
World War-Germany reasoning that
If England was in no shape TO put
down a handful of Obstetrics, il was

off and leave the job to the real Irish
men in Ireland, it would not take long

HUNG JURY IN HANNA TRIAL

The trial of Arthur A. Hanna, last
week in the Circuit Court, resulted in
a hung jury or mistrial. The case
went to the jury Thursday morning
but not until Friday morning was it
regarded as hopeless for the jury to
agree on verdict and on that morn
ing the jury was discharged, with the
understanding that seven stood for
conviction and five for acquittal.
The story of the terrible tragedy is
well remembered in Lexington and
Henderson county-that on the morn
ing of last May 9th, at l o'clock, a
part Of this town was startled with
the news that Arthur Hanna had
killed his wife, and with it was given
out the statement, the next day, that
the tragedy was purely accidental. As
time went on, it became known also
that DR.. G. A. Brandon, brother of the
dead woman, believed otherwise and
that he would back prosecution of Mr..
Hanna.
The trial last week was hard
fought battle, Judge w. F. Appleby
and County Judge L. B. Johnson as
sisting the attorney general in the
prosecution, while the defense had
employed Judge 7. A. Lancaster, Hon.
f. M. Davis, Judge w. II. Lam
caster and Hon. E. w. Essary-
and so important was the case and so
vigorous the prosecution and defense,
that each of the lawyers addressed
the jury, which was composed of the
following citizens: Garfield Lewis,
Lite Laws, Tom Hatch, E. w. Deni-
son, Leroy Wood, Bob Williams, Tom
Lewis, Argild lowers, w. G. Frizzell,
Nicely Murren, j. F. Anderson, w. A.

no way neglect the small educational
facilities that we have. Let us make
an effort to be present every day in
school. We haul crossties to the rail-
road, SO if the weather is bad, load
up the most valuable product and
take it over to school. Of course the
larger boys and girls live within
walking distance of school but the
smaller ones may not. However, we
remember that when we taught in a

get to school while others drove three
miles. If you expect to farm, get an

This is the season Of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
certain to be needed before the winter
is over and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as the
first indication of a cold appears and
before it has become settled in the
system. There is no danger in Civ
ing it to children is it contains no
opium or other harmful drug. All

Another series was ended Saturday
when the home team went to Decatur
vile and won the game by a score of
rs to Is. This was game in which
many of the local fans showed great
interest, for in the first game the De-
caturville boys were beaten only by
two points, but from the very first
of the last game there was no doubt
but that the, local boys had their OPP
ponents outclassed. Practically the
same lineup was used at Decaturville
except that Holmes took the place Of
Montgomery as forward who was hurt
in the first half Of the game.

A balanced ration is cheaper than
one that is not balanced so if you are
trying to save money by feeding your
hens on corn alone just quit fooling
yourself. The man of small means can
least afford to feed his hens poorly
since he needs the money much more
than the man who is in good circum-
stances, financially.

The hunting season is now about to
begin. The quail is well known as a
consumer of insects and among these
is no doubt the boil weevill which are
becoming more numerous from year
to year in the cotton belt. Now the
most that we can hope to do is to con-
troll the pest. With our present
knowledge, the man who would try to
eradicate them would be foolish. So,
during the winter let us be sure that
we kin only few Of these wonderful
birds. In fact if it were not for the
birds we would not, perhaps, be able
to harvest a crop in five years from
now. The bugs would eat up all the
plants and man would perish from
the earth and who knows but that
some day this thing may happen and
be followed by the big fire.

Try out this method of feeding your
laying hens. Make a mixture of one
part of meat scraps, one part of corn
meal, one part of shorts. Feed the
former as dry mash and wet mash.
Then give the hens all the corn they
viii clean up. Preferably this should
be fed in some kind of litter so that
they will be compelled to scratch for
it. j. c. Richardson uses the above
ration and he is one of the best win
ter egg producers in the county.
This is so simple that you can not af-
ford not to use it.
