Somebody sent the editor of the
Poketown Gazette a few bottles of
home brew. The same day he re-
ceived for publication a wedding an
nouncement and a notice of an auc-
ton sale. Here are the results:
"Wm. Smith and Miss Lucy Ander-
son were disposed of at public auc-
ton at my farm one mile east of a
beautiful cluster of roses on her
breast and two whites calves, before
a background of farm implements
too numerous to mention in the pres
ence Of about seventy guests, includ-
ing two mich cows, six mules and
one bob sled. Rev. Jackson tied the
nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay
rope and the bridal couple left on one
good John Deere gang plow for an
extended trip with terms to suit tpur-
chasers. They will be at home to
their friends with one good baby bug

A prospective purchaser is said to
have gone into a Bemidji music
store and inquired as to the price
of monograph records. The CONVEX
sation with the lady clerk was some
thing like this:
what records have you got, and
how much are they?"
well, let's see, can give, you
"Smilcs" for fifty cents. And then
I have "Kisses" for seventy-fve
cents, and for one dollar, you'd Be
Surprised
We wondow how much she would
ask for kiss Me Again." But then,
most of the records are two-faced,
anyway.

FEW DETAILS ARE FIXED
Germany Reported to Have Agreed to
Americas Retention Of All Rights
Under Versailles Document.
Dressed, Negotiating.

Berlin.-The German foreign office
expresses belief that the negotiations
which have been proceeding for the
last three weeks between Ellis Loring
Dresel, the American commissioner in
Berlin, and Dr.. Rosen, the foreign min
lister, have progressed sufficiently to
warrant the conclusion that general
working basis has been established for
the conclusion of a formal peace
treaty between Germany and the Unit
ed States at an early date.
1t is understood in we'll informed
quarters that the German government
has assented to propositions submitted
by the American state department
through Mr.. Dresel, in the way Of in
formal inquiries based upon the essen.
tial principles enunciated in the Por-
ter-Knox peace resolution. None of
these, 1t is said, had been opposed by
the Wirth cabinet, which is declared
to be wholly in accord with the Ameri.
can attitude on the prerogatives and
privileges and various rights under the
treaty of Versailles to which the Unit
ed States is entitled by virtue Of Amer.
ica's participation in the war.

Washington. Republicans Of the
house ways and means committee
have conferred for development of
views on tax revision. Many diver.
gent opinions we're developed, but no
conclusions were reached.
Emphasizing that he was speaking
solely for himself, Chairman Fordney
said afterwards that the goal toward
which he would strive would be cut
Of half billion dollars in the tax bill
next year. His opinion was that by
the exercise of rigid economy the gov
eminent could be operated for three
and half billion dollars in 1922 in
stead Of the four billions estimated by
the treasury.
Practically all members of the COM
mittee are in sympathy with the repeol
Of the transportation taxes, both pas
senger and freight, but they have not
yet fixed upon new source Of reve-
nue. to offset the loss Of 100000 to
the treasury that this would involve.
Chairman Fordney's idea is that If
the repeal Of the whole is found inn
practicable start might be made by
cutting them in half next year and
eliminating the balance the year fol.
lowing. Representative Longworth OF
Ohio, republican, has before the COM
mittee a provision proposing a
straight out repeal.
While committee republicans-a1d
they will frame the tariff bill-have
reached no definite decisions on the
proposed reyisions, it appears to be
fairly well established that there will
be alterations in the normal rates
on individual incomes or in the amount
of exemptions allowed. There prob
ably will be some shifting Of the tax
burdens and Mr.. Fordney is Of the be-
lief that some new sources Of taxation
will be found.

SUCCULENT FEED FOR DAIRY
Modern Machinery for Planting and
cultiVatlng Roots Makes Work
Less Laborlous.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
With the development Of the sil0
many dairy COW owners have over
looked the value Of roots as a succu-
lent feed for cattle. Mangel-wurzel,
heets, carrots, and turnips are the prin-
cipal roots grown for this purpose.
They are particularly adapted to the
cooler and more moist portions Of the
country. The principal drawback to
their use is the labor Of growing, har-
vesting and storing them. On the
other hand, say specialists Of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
root crops have a distinct advantage
for small diaries. as it is generally &C
cepted that a silo win not prHFe eco
nomical where less than six animals
are being fed. Roots may be stored
in a proper cellar, or buried in the
ground, and can be taken out in any
desired quantity without injury to the
remainder.
A surprising amount Of roots can
be produced on a small acreage. A
yield of 25 tons per acre Of mangel-
wurzels is nothing unusual, while in
England, where roots are used almost
entirely to supply succulent food, the
yield per acre is increased still further
by intensive farming.
Other kinds of beets, and also tur-
nips and carrots may be used. Tur-
nips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
give bad flavor to the product. Vel
low carrots impart desirable color
TO the milk. For feeding purposes the
mangels will probably be found the
most practical beet, Among carrots,
the Long Orange is recommended be-
cause Of its large size and heavy yield.
It forms a long, thick root, and is very
easily grown. The White Vosges or
Belgian is grown exclusively for stock,
and is an even heavier yielder. The
rutabaga is recommended as good
turnip. The same soils and methods
Of cultivating are adapted to all three
kinds of roots.
The soil should be we'll enriched, and
should be one that warns up quickly
in the spring. Most growers regard
sandy loan as best adapted to the cul-
ture of root crops, this being partic-
ularly true Of the early spring crop.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1921-08-05

For later crops heavy soils can be en-
ployed, and muck soils are widely used
for the midsummer and fall crops.
Land that is in good physical. condf-
tion as the result of early and proper
handling, we'll supplied with available
plant food and rich in organic matter,
is essential to best results. Appli-
cations Of stable manure at the rate
of 20 to 30 tons per acre are advis-
able, and this may profitably be sup
plemented ty the use of commercial
fertilizer containing at least 2 per
cent nitrogen, s per cent phosphoric
acid, and per cent potash.
The seed is sown in rows at least
80 inches apart if horse cultivation is
practiced. but under hand cultivation
they need not be more than 10 to IL
inches. Ordinarily about pounds
Of beet seed per acre is required. Seed
is ordinarily covered TO depth Of
Y to / inch. AS beet seed is rather
slow in termination, the practice Of
sowing some quick-sprouting seed
along with it is sometimes followed.
These plants serve as markers for the
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may be begun before the
beets show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose.
Beet seeds come in clusters, and It
is inevitable that thinning by hand
Will be required.
Roots intended for winter storage
are allowed to stand In the field until
Just before heavy autumn frosts oc-
cur, when they are pulled and stored
In pits or cellars, requiring much the
same treatment as potatoes and sim
liar root crops.
From 20 to 35 pounds Of sliced or
pulped roots. with proper grain ra-
ton and dry foliage, is a days ration
for an ordinary dairy COW. Thus II
will be seen that 21s tons will carry
COW through the usual five-mOnths'
winter feeding period. An acre or two
Of beets, carrots and turnips should be
enough to supply any herd which Is
not large enough to make a silo profit
able. With the development Of the
sugar-beet industry many implements
and methods Of culture have been de
vised which reduce the labor required
to grow root crops.

WEIGH, w. Va.-Sid Hatfield, former
chief of police at Matewan, and West
Virginias most noted gunman, was
shot to death here in a battle lasting
a minute and a half on the lawn Of
the Mcdowell county courthouse. Hat
field and Edward Chambers and five
Baldwin-Felts detectives faced each
other and the battle of Matewan was
repeated on minor scale
Hatfield was first to draw. but Bald
win-Felts' Operative c. e. Lively, was
even quicker. Hatfield fired at his
five foes and fired five shots, none of
which took effect, but Lively's aim
was more accurate and Sid Hatfield
fell dead with three bullets through
his body, fired as fast as Lively could
pump his unerring automatic. Edward
Chambers was also shot dead. None
of the Baldwin-Felts men was injured.
There was large crowd about the
courthouse lawn, and the minute Hat
field reached back to his hip, there
was a wild scramble for cover. 1t was
all over in a couple of minutes and
Lively and the other four men were
arrested.
When Hatfield had emptied his gun
and failed to find mark his case was
hopeless. He was at the mercy of his
foes, and they shot quick and straight,
Hatfield was arrested recently in
connection with the shooting up of
the town of Mohawk, w. Va, about a
year ago, and brought to WEIGH, where
he was placed in Jail. Chambers also
was to appear in court in connection
with the same case.
