 State Coin for Dog House

Nashville, Tenn, February 10. Old Timber, the only dog whose yeIp was ever heard in political campaign in Tennessee, has not been tempted from his familiar haunts in the happy valley vicin- fty lay the bright lights of. the capital at which his master. Cover nor Ali Taylor, Is presiding.
 Reports that the democratic leg islature contemplated making an appropriation on the mansion grounds for house for old Linn Der have led his master to an- nOunca that he will promptly veto such proposition, and this ru- mOred activity of political enemies is likely to result in the governor keeping Old Timber at home. Old Timber furnished much material for Governor Tnylor's speeches during his campaign. The gover- nor always gave n graphic recital of Old Limber's prOwess as a fox hunter.

In fact, it seems to be the prevailing opinion that the honorable as we'll as the just method of liquidating this debt Is by funding 1t into longtime obligations, which will carry a reasonable rate of interest. Really 1t makes but little difference whether the time be fixed at 25 years or 50 years. When funded the debt is cared for permanently.
 A VANDERBILT CHANGE
 It may be of little interest beyond New York city to learn that the Fifth avenue home of the late William K. Vanderbilt
 is speedily to be converted into an up town branch of one of the trust com panies. It is the norther1y dwelling of the double domicile built by William H.. Vanderbilt some 40 years ago. He pre- stunned that this city home for the Van derbilts was built so far uptown as tN make it improbable that it would ever be threatened by the northern march of business.
 When MT. Vanderbilt built this Fifth avenue home he was oteying the teach> ings of his father, Commodore Wander bilt The commodore advised his son to make no investments in the real estate excepting such as were necessary for a home and Tor the accommodation or the New York Genital lines. The commodore , justified this opinion by saying that II was the better part to hold securities which could be Instantly sold if there were need. He had little faith in real es- tate, for he said it tied up money for too large time.
 His great grandson, Alfred Vanderbilt,
 was the first of the family to ignore this tradition. He ventured into real estate. investing a great deal of money in the
 construction of modern and fashion | able hotel. Had he lived 1t was his pur- pose to make further investments in real estate. The sale of William K. Wander | bilt's house to a trust company whose
 purpose is to establish branch in upper Fifth avenue of itself shows how far the
 commodore was astray when he advised his son to beware of real estate invest
 ment. The irresistible uptown march of
 business and the establishment in truly
 magnificent apartments of several trust companies in the Fifth avenue zone. has
 caused a great appI sciation in the money
 value of the Vanderbilt house. It is an appreciation which is in sympathy with
 the remarkable appreciation of real estate
 within few years in upper Fifth avenue
 zone. Had Commodore Vanderbilt and ! his son, William H.. invested consider able part of their great wealth in unim- proved real estate in the Fifth avenue district as they could have done 10 or 5 years ago, the appreciation would prob
 ably now amount to a larger sum than
 the present-day wealth of the Vanderbilt families

HOUSE 0VERC0MES
 TARIFF BLOCKADE
Bill Turned Over to Conference to Harmonize Differences
 With Senate Draft
Ky Associated Press


 Washington. February 1a~-House supporters of the Fordney emergency tariff bill pushed it over another bill today in it's progress through Con- Eress. where it has been a storm cen. ter since the middle of December. By vcteSof leo to ls2., they overcame . parliamentary blockade set up by objectors and turned the measure over to conference committees to thrash out differences between the House and Senate.
 The so-odd amendments tackled on by the Senate will be discussed in the Monday upon the return of Chairman Fordney of the House ways and means committee from his visit to President-elect Harding at St. Au- gustinc. Although opponents of the bill were prepared for a battle in the conft renee, the majority leaders 1inted they would attempt to shove the bill through and take 1t back to the House in the form in which 1t passed the Senate.
 < Opponents of the tariff had em- ployed every parliamentary maneuver at their command to tie 1t up in the last 4s hours. but they went down to defeat before the superior numbers on tha republican side of the House. They believe however, that several opportunities yet remain to sidetrack the measure. House democratic lead- CTS were understood to have appealed to some of the democratic senators to help them in solidifying their lines.
 Debate in the House. where support CTS of the bill sought to send it to <> force . reference to the ways and means committee. developed little new argument. There was. however. more use by opponents of the claim that the tariff would mean higher cost ol living. Supporters defended it entirely on the plea that the farmers must have speedy relief.

 Big Snow In Little Rock
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Little Rock has taken on the general appearance of winter today, which was quite a surprise to the majority of her citizens who had disregarded that just ly famous" gentleman, the ground hog. It seems this old boy had occasion to see his well-known shadow several times On that day. and if he didn't see it. that was his hard luck good luck, as the case may be. Anyhow, imm ediately af- ter his day, or the day set apart by tradition for him to make his appearance on top of the ground. the weather here became very nice and spring-like, and continued so up until last night Thus we were getting that tired feeling and incidentally thinking of wild flowers, fishing, gardens, etc.
 We'll. as started out to say, we looked out this morning upon a nice white snow naturally white of course-and there has been continuous downpour all day. At present, 5 o'clock, there Is about eight inches of snow on the ground. It is sleeting now and turning colder. Re- spectfully,

Farm MANURE VALUABLE
As ACTIVE FERTILIZER.

The fact that almost one-half OF tho
large amour OF plant food which II

makes farm manure one OF the most
effective fertilizers which farmers can
use. soils specialists say. About ono
half the nitrogen, one-sixth OF the
phosphorouB and one-half OF the pot
ash In manure Is solable or In con-
1Itlon which will permit II to DO used
at once by growing crops. This quail
lty makes farm manure an excellent
top derssing for such crops as wheat
Young clover or grass. The remainder
Of the plant food becomes available
gradually, thus making the material
