Former Premier Asquith of England

invitation to the powers for an arma
ments conference move to make the
United States amember of the League
of nation. "I have not myself lost
faith in the league of nations" says
Mr. Asquith. $50 long as America
finds her way to the international
council table it matters little by what
door she enters"
1t is no new thing for the Uniteo
States to take council with other ma
tions, and the fact that she is doing
so now has no bearing whatever on
the American attitude toward the
league of nations. The United States
had representatives at both of The
Hague conventions, has taken part in
numerous postal and other interna-
tional conferences, has never nesitat-
Gu 10 meet With OlHcI UdtiOliS III tlIC
discussion of world problems. 1t is a
far cry from engaging in free debate
upon international question to putting
the country under the domination of
a group of freign pwers, such as the
league covenant contemplated. If the
United States, as result of the ar
maments conference, chooses to limit
future naval construction, she will do
so with perfect freedom of action,
quite uninAuenced by what any other
nation or league of nations think we
should do. America will doubtless at
tend the internatiqnal council table in
the future whenever occasion may|
seem to require, but neither Mr.. As
auith nor any othe man should mis-
lake that attendance for aroused SYM
,athy for the league of nations.

ASBESTOS OR MINERAL WOOL
A Most Wonderful Fireproof Mater
ial That Is Used for Many
Purposes the World Over.


The art of weaving the mineral fbel
in asbestos, which is ordinarily indie.
stuctible, was rcdiscovered at com
paratively late period of civilization.
Woven asbestos was used in the an
cient pyre to preserve the royal ashes
Charlemagne is said to have had ta-
blecloth made of asbestos and to have
cleaned it by throwing it in the fire
which consumed the dirt, thus illnstrat
ing in a spectacular manner one Of the
most valuable properties of this ma
terial.
The fiber of the best grade of as
bestos is beautiful and silky and has
great hexibility, elasticity and tensile
strength, according to the United
states Geological Survey, Department
of the Interio. It. can be spun into
thread so fine as to run 225 yards to
the ounce, and as it is incombustible
as we'll as nonconductor of heat and
and resists the action of
mos ordinary acids, its field of use is
large.
The possible applications of asbest
oseare far from fully appreciated not
only by the general public but by man.

COUNTY CROP OUTLOOK
BEST IN MANY YEARS
SOME EARLY CROPS INJURED,
BUT PRESENT OUTLOOK
SEEMS SURE CURE.

Owing to the splendid rains that
have fallen througout this county for
the last few weeks the general crop
outlook has improved beyond creates,
expectation.
In the early part of the season hay
and oats were quite seriously injured
by lack of moisture, as were white po-
'atoes III most parts of the county.
The weather was particularly favor
able to corn and the farmers were
active in cultivation and replanting
was general in an effort to relieve
what was in many instances poor
stands. However, for the past two
or three weeks conditions have been
most favorable for corn and sown
crops. 1t is probable that never be-
fore was there SO large an acreage of
sown hay, which is largely soy beans;
there being some pease and millet,
however. Rains came at the right
time to cause the corn to shoot well
and sweet potatoes have been making
excellent growth. Present indications
are for the largest crop of corn and
ate hay that has ever been produced
n this county.

TURKS ARE LOSING

In the war that has been going or
between Greece and Turkey for some
months varying fortunes have fallen
to both nations. Recently, however,
the Turks have been losing heavily
and have been driven steadily back By
the Greeks When it is remembered
that England is backing the Greeks
and furnishing them ammunition and
war munitions, this condition may be
expected to continue in the main until
the Turk has had enough.

Neither of the defendants welr al.
lowed by their attorneys to go on the
witness stand That course proved a
great disappointment to the public as
one of the criminals had repeatedly
made the statement while in Knox
vile Jail that he would tell the whole
truth regardless of consequences.
The penalty for first degree murder
in this state is death by electrocution
in the penetentiary at Nashville. The
case will doubtless be carried to the
state supreme court and fought to the
last by their attorneys, but owing to
the cruel and unprovoked killing there
seems little chance for them to escape
the electric chair.
The verdict will meet with general

lection Of back taxes from the office
of the circuit court clerk to that of the
revenue officers of the three grand
divisions of the state.
That change may not amount to
very much in the larger counties save
to reduce the revenue received by the
circuit clerks of the respective count
les and add to the income CT the reve-
nue. agent but inthe smaller counties,
such as Cumberland and most others
of the state, it produces a condition
that is much to be regretted.
The change so far reduces the rev.
enue received by the circuit clerks of
the small counties as to very material
lyreduce the salary. Take it in this
county for instance: 1t takes away
about $500 annually, which reduces the
total salary to close to 5000. 1t is easy
to see that no person can afford to
devote his full time or anything like
it to the office for that small sum.
Unless there is some other legal pro-
vision that will suppliment the salary
there is likely to be very incompetent
men elected to these very important
offices in many of the counties over
the state. One thing now would seem
to be pretty certain that the scramble
for the office will be much less active
n the next election than has been the
custom in the past.

THE COST OF LIVING
IS GREATLY REDUCED
DOLLAR HAS HIGHER PURCHAS.
ING POWER THAN A YEAR
AGO CLEARLY SHOWN.

Every person who has to provide fol
the needs of home realizes that Ole
High Cost of Living has lost very
much of the chesty swagger he pos
sessed year ago.
No more striking evidence of that
fact has come to our notice than is
shown in the splendid display of goods
now shown in the windows of the
Reed Mercantile Company They
have selected "a staple items that COW
er pretty thoroughly the needs OF
family. The items include flour,
meal, meat, lard soap, sugar, coffee,
mems overalls, work shoes, dress
shoes, suit, ginghams, sheeting, and
even silks.
They have shown side, by side what
the entire list would have cost year
ago and what they are selling the ar
ticles for at this time. 1t shows that
the dollar has doubled in purchasing
power since a year ago, for the whole
"a articles would then have cost nearly
Sill and today they cost little over

Many persons appreciate and under
stand this condition, but as there are
some who seem to feel that every-I
thing except wages should come down,
we take this means of showing how
unreasonable such a position is. In
most cases wages have not fallen as
much as have home needs for very
few persons are falling to receive
more than half what they did year
ago. Following is the list by items

PUREBRED RAMS WIN
Ofsprings Produce More and Better
Wool, Bing Better Prices and
Are More Prolific.

During the past five years expert
| ment stations have been conducting es
periments to determine the value ot
the use of registered rams. In thes,
tests both the purebred and scrub
males were used on common ewes.
Five important features are shown
as the result: The lambs from the
registered rams weighed from S to 10
pounds more per head at five months
OF age than those sired by the scrub
rams.
Te sheep sired by the registered
rams always produced more wool than
those sired by the scrub rams. The
increase was all the way from IS of
a pound to 2.3 pounds.
The wool from the sheep sired by
the registered rams was always of
better grade than the wool from tine
sheep sired by the scrub rams.
The registered rams sired larger
percentage Of twin lambs. In one case
the twin lambs sired BY the registered
ran ran A hi&h A 86z peEeents No,
More money was secured Tor the
lambs sired by the registered rams
than those sired by the scrub rams.
1t was also proven by experiments
that registered rams produce larger
percentage of No. lambs than scrub
pr grade rams. This spring buyers
made a difference of S cents pound
between No. I and No. lambs. I'll
ambs weighed on an average of 20
pounds at market time there would be
, difference of $500 between No.
md a No. 2 lamb.
It can be seen from these figures
hat it only stands to reason that no
sheep owner can afford to use an in
erior ram. Market the scrub ram
low and buy a good registered one
or the coming season.

Bible Society Fights for
S75O,000 Sage Legacy
Files Objection to Accounting
Which Deducts S5OO,0O0
Gift From Total

Objection to the accounting in the
estate of Mrs. Ma rgaret Olivia Sage,
philanthropist and widow Of Russell
Sage. was filed in the Surrogares' Court
yesterday by the American Bible So
cety.
According to Harris & Towne. attor-
neys for the society. Mrs. Sage made
an agreement with the latter under
which she promised to give $500. 900 for
an endowment fund provided the So
ciety obtained contributions of an
equal amount. The duplicating 100000
was obtained through the contribu-
tions OF 10000 persons and an added
amount by the society itself.
1t is claimed by the society that the
executors have listed this promised
100000 from Mrs. Sage as an ad-
vancement from her estate in payment
cf the American Bible Society's share
Of her reslduary estate. The executors
added to this so-called Advancement
1888 d S interest. The contention Is
made that the $500,00O promised by
Mrs. Sage had no connection with the
legacy left it in the viii. and therefore
in objecting 10 the accounting the So
ciety asks that the executors be di-
rected to pay to the society $3.50, 900,
its proportionate share in the distri-
button Of the estate made on May 20,
