SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
BUT THERE ARE STILL 5000 We.
-a HICLES IN COUNTY UPON
WHICH TAX is UNPAID. ..

fHFrom Saturdays Daily Herald.) ,,.
The payment of the vehicle wheel
tax has shown considerable improve
ment during the past few days, the
first big rush coming on Monday, when
the force of the county court clerk S
Office was kept busy raking in the coin
and writing receipts.
Despite this heavy payment 1t is es-
timated that there are still more than
5000 vehicles in the county upon
which the tax has not yet been paid.
Warning has been repeatedly given
that this wheel tax has not been re-
pealed so that it becomes effective
this year, and must be paid under the
law.
A little more time will be given by
Clerk Lipscomb before distress war;
rants are issued against those who
have failed to provide automobiles,
buggies and wagons with the familiar
little county tag.

COTTON CONFERENCE
Be HELD MAY 16
MEETING AT WASHiNGTON FOR
PURPOSE OF GRADUATING
PINK BOIL WEViL.

The United States department OF
agriculture is issuing call for u
conference of persons and interests
related to the cotton industry to be
held in Washington May is. The pur.
pose of the conference is to consider
how best to protect the cotton indus
try against the pink boil worm, the
most dangerous of cotton pests.
This pest entered the United States
from Mexico in the fall of 1917, APP
pearing first in Texas. Prompt meas
ures were taken to beat it back and
about $2,000,000 have already been
expended by the federal government.
With the complete cooperation Of
the states invaded there seemed to be
a fair chance of eradicatng the in
sect. Unfortunately the state of Tex
as has failed to provide for such ade.
quate and control work as is regard
ed absolutely necessary by the scien-
lists OF the department of agricul'
ture and, because of this lack of full
cooperation, there is now great dan
ger that the pest will be disseminated

course of time, throughout the cotton
belt.
The department is now considering
quarantine measures which will check
he invasion from Texas to the great
EST possible extent, and the purpose
If the conference is to consult with
delegates from other states interested
before taking definite action.

II 1t seems to be practically certain
that the schools at Bigbyvile and Nc
Gains in the sixth district will be unit
ed despite all of the difficulties that
have arisen and that the new $4,000
school building contemplated by the
county court will be erected. There
is little doubt that the two factions
will be able to completely adjust all
differences and harmonic on a loca-
ton. A report is expected To be made
to this effect to the county board of ed
ucation at an early date ~
The new building it is understood

James Harris farm, which faces the
road that connects the two villages
and the $4,000 that must be secured

united communities. According to. the
plan agreed upon there will be no di-
vision In the raising of the subscrip-
tions but 1t will be raised as whole
and all lines between ,McCains and

The adjustment of the differences
that have prevented the consumation
of the plans of the county court was
brought about by a committee of two
from each side composed of Messrs.
Weatherford and Harris, of Bigbyville,
and Messrs Fly and Farri% of Nc
Gains These gentlemen got togeth-
err, not as representatives of the two
communities or factionalists, but as
citizens of the sixth district concerned
about the education of the children
and the advancement of their county
and made the agreement. Mr.. Harris
who made the donation of the land
manifested al ,bigness of heart and
patriotic spirit of self sacrifice that is
worthy of emulation. He told his as
,soeiatesi that they could make any Sc

would give five acres of land if 1t
would insure the settlement of the
controversy.

tTlOtu - Duuy I1bIdlu,t
In statement given out this morn
Ing by County Agent Mclean, he
strongly urged against farmers cutting
crimson clover for hay. Mr.. Mclean
said, Last year many of our farmers
cut crimson clover for hay This
should not be done on account of the
fertilization qualities of the green
crop. Crimson clover Is the best
green manure crop the farmer has,
and when in full bloom 1t should be
turned under to get the best results
All stock should have been taken off
the clover a week ago in order to get
the full tonnage,
Every acre Of crimson clover turn
ed under adds fifty pounds of nitro
gen to the soil. Every busheI of corn
i harvested take one pound of nitrogen
therefore if the farmer gathers ten
barrels of corn from an acre; of land
he has taken just the amount of nitro
gen from the soil, deposited there by
his clover crop. II he does not turn
his clover under, or does not add com
merciaI fertilizer or stable manure he
is robbing his soil of Its natural store
of nitrogen, which will soon wear 1t
out. lJis
From reports received from over the
county, it is indicated that more GRIM
son clover will be turned under this
year than ever before. Not only has
this crop furnished an excellent pas
ture for the past several months, but
1T will now be made to enrich the soil.
1t is said that the crimson clover
crop Of the county is unusually fine
this season, and that the acreage is
larger than ever before known.

The IDLE DOLLAR
INVITES CRIME
ACTIVE DOLLAR TURNS
r
THE WHEELS OF IN
DUSTRY..
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
During the wave of crime which has
swept the country number of people
have lost their lives in trying to pro-
tect their money.
If this money. had been safely in
vested there would have been no mo-
tive for the crime and the victims
would probably be alive today. tHt.
More than that, their money would
have been earning something for
them while it helped to keep business
moving.
The active dollar in the bank turns
great many trades, keeps a great
deal of business moving and gives en-
ployment to great many people. The
amazing difference between the value
of active dollars to the country is
shown by the following facts:
While the average dollar in cash
turns only about $64 in trade during
the year, the average dollar i'm cash in
New York banks turns about So 400 in
traic each year. The cash in New
York banks. averaging 104 millions,
moved a business of 252 billions last
yea.
The country at large, with total
cash currency of about five billions.
did a business of 325 billions.
1t appears from this that the active
dollar in New York banks did forty
times as much business as the aver
age dollar in the United States.
