a box hangs in the porch. 1t is used
for communications for the pastor.
Cranks put their notes in it; but oc-
casionally it does fulfill its purpose.

in the box.

James A. Hoffmeister, one of Cooke

known citizens, died at his home on
Cedar street, on Sunday, Sept. 25th
after lingering illness of something
like two years duration.
Until he became afflicted with in.
fiamatory rheumatism, about two
years ago, Mr.. Hoffmeister was one
of the most active and energetic bust.
ness men OF this city. He was for a
long while engaged in the livery
business, and for the past five or six
years in the garage business on West
Side. He was good citizen and had
host Of friends throughout this Sec
tion. He was a member of the
Methodist church, having been con-
verted something more than a year
ago, since which time he had lived a
consistent Christian life, bearing with
exceptional fortitude the great suffer-
ing through which he passed
He Is survived by his wife and sew

BUSINESS WOMEN
IN TOWN AND COUNTRY

Evidence of the fact that the old
social barrier which has existed be-
tween people of the rural districts and
those of the towns in past genera
tions is fast becoming a thing of the
past in Tennessee was clearly dem
onstrated at the recent farmers ins-
titute at Columbia. The Business and
Professional Women's Club Of CO.
lumbia did much to make the Home
makers section of the institute sue
cess. They furnished rest room
for the members of the Homemakers
section which added much to their
comfort. The town women also took
an active part in helping the rural
women stage dress pageant, an
evenings entertainment put on to
show dressing of former periods and
to illustrate proper dress for differ
ent present day occasions. Many of
them attended the program, provided
entertainment for the rural women
while In the city and otherwise de-
Woted much time to making their
stay pleasant as well as profitable.
Cooperation of the women OF the
towns and cities of the state with ru-
raj women in their meetings has been
noted on frequent occasions in re-
cent years by Extension workers of
the University OF Tennessee and they
look on 1t as one of the hopeful signs
Of the times. The business women
OF the towns are getting in touch
with the business women of the
farms. The farm women are finding
that the women of the towns are
good people to know and the town
women are beginning to feel the same
way about the country women, ana
30 the old line that has existed SO
long Is being rubbed out and in its
place a spirit OF cooperation and
helpfulness is springing up, which
will mean happier and more con-
tented womanhood in Tennessee.

CONFEDERATE
REUNION

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept 23.-The
Confederate Reunion Committee, thru
its committee on finance, has been
making drive this week for the
funds necessary to entertain the re-
union to be held here October rs to
27 inclusive with the result that the
sum already pledged insures the a.
nancial success of the enterprise.
More than half the sum decided on as
the minimum amount was secured
the first day OF the drive which, SO
| far as known here, sets a record for
collections for Confederate Reun-
ion. Before the end of the week all
of the money needed to finance the
reunion committee will have been Sc
cured.
Interest throughout Confederate
Territory in the reunion has increas-
ed wonderfully within the past week
The indications now are that the at
tendance will be large from all of the
Southern States and also from some
Of the border states. Men who have
been watching reunions for several
years forecast a crowd of $4,000 to
10000 while others place the attend
ance in excess Of these figures.
The reunion program, as already
announced, has been agreed on prac-
tically as at first drafted. One an
mouncement this week is that the re-
union oration will be delivered by
Bishop Collins Denny, of the South
ern Methodist Church This item
was not in the original draft of the
program. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee,
will also address the convention and
welcome the veterans in the name OF
Tennessee.
1t has been definitely decided by
the railroads that the Confederate
Veterans and members of their fam
lilies will be given rate of one cent
mile to and from Chattanooga for
this reunion; but it is not yet decid-
ed what the rate will be to the gen.
eral public. The certificate plan
will be followed, it is understood, by
the roads in selling tickets.
Invitations have BEEN sent to the
governors of all the Southern States
to be present as guests during the
reunion. Governor Russell of Mis-
sissippi, has accepted the invitation
and will be present with HIS staff.
Other governors are considering the |
and doubtless some OF
them will act favorably upon 1t.
Every indication points to most
successful reunion, and the reunion
committee is preparing to entertain
a large crowd. Chattanooga has re-
sponded literally to all the demands of
the committee. Private homes will
be open to the veterans and their
friends the entire three days OF the
and hotels will give rea-
sonable rates for all who do not de-
sire to stay in private homes.

our WEEKLY
news LETTER

i Washington. Sept. %, 1921.-After
a months unearned holiday, Congress-
is again in session with practically al
its important work yet to be done.
and President Harding, refreshed BY
new golfng and cruising experfeno-
es, has returned from his latest Va
cation.
The tax revision bill as rewritten
by the Senate is just reported in that
body and will be the subject Of long
debate while business feverishly waits
The Republican campaign promise 10
reduce taxes, therefore, has not been
kept, and, according to Senator Smoot
(Rep., Utah), an authority on taxa
tion, will not and cannot be KEPT.
The tax bill, in it's present shape. -
no more satisfactory than it was -
| 1t passed the House and is certain Of
time opposition of some Republics
Senators.
BY general consent the tariff bill.
through which the Republicans were
going to restore prosperity at once,
must wait perhaps until the very last.
According to the newspaper recog-
nized here as President Harding's
mouthpiece, many returning Cong
ressmen are of the opinion It ought
to be passed up altogether or at least
until the disarmament conference =
OVER. This economic monstrogity,
known as the Fordney Tariff bill, has
been riddled by House and Senate
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
until it will no more hold water than
a sieve, and yet enough blind parti-
sans were found in the House to pass
it. 1t is not satisfactory TO anyone
except the profteering big manufae-
turers. Bankers and other business
men oppose it and the greatest mer-
chant perhaps in the world, the head
of Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, has
shown that the "American valuation"
clause would destroy what little for
eign trade there is left in merchan-
disc.
Among the big measures yet to b
acted upon is the war loan funding
bill introduced by Senator Penrose,
which empowers the Secretary of the
Treasury to do anything he pleases
with the $4,000, 100000 foreign loans
and to be the sole Judge of the trans-
actions he may enter into in funding
the debt. This, as has been pointed
out by Senator McKellar (Dem,
Tenn.), and Senator Underwood, the
Democratic Senate leader, is an un-
precedented and unwarranted grant
Of power which no one man ought to
have or ought to be willing to accept.
It is the most sinister and dangerous
measure ever introduced in amy ses-
sion of Congress, and Is sure to re-
suit in acrimonious debate, but the
are in an arbitrary, stiA-
necked mood and ready and willing
10 employ the steam roller whenever
It becomes necessary to override the
minority.
The railroad funding bill, the Pan
INA tolls bill and the maternity
ill are all measures which await ac-
ion nd are provoctive of debate.
The separate peace treaty with
Germany, which is sure 10 create al
risions in the votes of both parties.
Will have precedence probably, and
is predicted that it will be fought
vs. bitterly by the Bitter-enders -
vas the treaty of Versailles.
In the meantime, six million per
ons are idle and the American
roops are still on the Rhine.
1t would seem, therefore, that we
re yet long ways from normalcy.

the Middle West and in the South.
Domesticated guinea fowl are Of
three varieties-Pearl, White and
Lavender. The Pearl is by far the
most popular. 1t has purpllsh'gray
plumage regularly dotted or "pearled'
with white and Is so handsome that
frequently the feathers are used for
ornamental purposes.
Guinea hens usually begin laying in
April or May, those in the South laying
earlier than those in the North. A
short time before the opening Of the
laying period the hens with their
mates begin searching for suitable
nesting places among the weeds and
brush along the fences or in the fields.
In this search the male takes as &C.
tive an interest as his mate, and when
q suitable location Is found both help
to dig out the nest and make It into
suitable shape.
Each day as the hen goes to the nest
to lay the male accompanies her and
remains nearby until she comes of.
Should anyone approach he shrieSs In
warning and thus betrays the where
abouts of the nest, which might other
wise be difficult to locate. If several
guinea hens are mated with one male
they usually all lay in the same nest,
but sometimes hen after mating will
wander off by herself to make her own
nest. At times male bird, after help
ing one hen to make her nest, will
then desert her and pair off with an
other hen to make another nest.
From 20 to 30, and often more. eggs
are laid before the guinea hen becomes
broody, at which time she can be easily
broken of her broodiness by removing
the eggs from her nest, when she will
soon begin laying again. If not al
lowed to sit, guinea hens will continue
to lay throughout the summer, laying
from 40 to 60 and in some cases 100
eggs during the season, say poultry
specialists of United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Ordinary hens are used, commonly,
to incubate guinea eggs, but guinea
hens, turkey hens, and incubators also
can be employed successfully. The
usual setting for a guinea hen Is about
IA eggs; for hen Of the general pur-
pose breeds. such as a Plymouth Rock,

quently they start Matching on the 18th
day and are all Matched by the end OF

If the nest in which the ruinea hen
becomes brdody is safe from any DIS
turbance, she may be, trusted with a
setting of eggs, and more than likely
will hatch out every egg that Is fer

same time. As soon as the guinea
chicks begin to leave the nest the hen
will leave with them, and any eggs
that are late in Matching are ruined
unless they are placed in an incubator
or under broody hen before they be-
, come chilled.
