PHILADELPHIA 81 CLINTON 0
HOME BOYS BEAT CLINTON IN FRIDAYS GAME
BY HEAVY SCORE

The Philadelphia High School
team defeated Clinton High on the
local gridiron Friday by score OF
81 to 0. The Philadelphia goal was
in danger at no time during the
game, and the Clinton boys were
outplayed at every stage of the
game. The Phillies made gains at
random either through the line or
around the ends. Both teams play
ed straight foot ball, and Philadel-
phia's best gains were made by
plowlng right through the line.
The Phillies made touchdown in
the second quarter, 2 in the third
and in the fourth. The last touch-
down in the second quarter was
made in less than two minutes from
the kickoff. Jap Moore, Harrington
Tinsley, Bates and Hardin for Phila-
delphia, were the outstanding stars,
while Hit, quarterback for Clinton,
played well. Sumrall and Coney of
the Clinton team, were knocked out
OF the game with slight injuries from
which they readily recovered.

Nov. S.--Accordlng to information
Just received here from Il. e. Melon
aid, Chief Entomologist OF Texas,
the pink bollworm has recently been
found around Ennis in Ellis County,
the greatest cotton producing coun-

ARMISTICE DAY OBSERVED
PHILADELPHIA TURNS OUT ARMISTlCE DAY IN
MEMORY OF the BOYS WHO PAID THE
SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE
GREAT WAR

Philadelphia observed armistice
day by holding patriotic program
in the School House auditorium.
At II O'Clock in the morning the mill
whistles blew for two minutes while
the city stood in silent tribute to the
great cause for which the day was
set by by both PresidentialandG Cub
ernatoPial proclamation Practically
every business house closed for the
occasion, and everybody repaired to
the School auditorium, where a
splendid program was given. Il. G.
PEBBLES acted as master OF ceremon-
les, and G. L. Rand, j. f. McCauley
and Harry Seymour were called up
on for short addresses. G, i. Rand
stressed the Significance of making
the day one for serious thought
along the lines of peace, that such a
tragedy as befell humanity in the
late war might never re- occur Mr.Mc
Cauley touched npon world con-
ditions, the general generalization
of world politics and business, and
showed how the world might have
been restored to normal quicker II
the League had been ratified. He
said that the discarding OF cheap
politicians and the choosing OF men
OF brains for Office would hasten
world peace and world prosperity.
MIR. Seymour discussed the sacri-
fees of the boys who paid the su-
preme sacrifice, who went west
for the cause OF peace and civillza-
ton, aud gave 1T as his hope that
yicto Hugo's dream of the CONVEX
sion OF cannon into ships, and the
substitution of arbitration for war,
that m an might ply his branis and
energy into paths OF peaceful trade
and commerce.
"America" was sung at the open
ing and our national anthem sung
at the close. The Philadelphia orch
estra, recently organized, made it's
fitsi. .y,l III AAsafi xlas re-
ceived Win hearty applause For a
first public effort 1t did credibly well.
Miss Ethel Doves class. in chorus
sang some old plantation medleys,
and Betsey Ross decalogue was
rendered by four of her expression
pupils, Kate Breland, Lois Phillips,
Mildred Moss and Eunice Chute.
Martha Mars, with her pleasing
elect, sang "Aint We Got Fun, and
Adam Mars rendered the "Old Fash
toned Garden. Tenting Tonight"
was sung by quartette composed
OF r. G. PEBBLES, Max Hawkins, Ben
and Gus Howell.
Each number OF the program was
short, and the variety OF the num-
bers, not only held the attention OF
the large and appreciative audience,
but demonstrated what home talent
can do towards entertainment II
given the least encouragement. 1t
was one of the most delightful
programs ever given in Philadelphia

FIVE YEAR ROTATIONS.

IA rotation that has often been
suggested is as follows: First year
corn and, soybeans planted in the
same row, with rye sown after the
corn is harvested. TIE rye may be
grazed and turned under and then
planted to soybeans or cowpeas
These to be followed by small grain.
On good land, sown late III Septem-
Der CT early October, barley is best.
For later sowing, wheat is usually
used. Grass should be sown with the
grein in the fall, and clover the fol-
lowing spring. The clover and grass
is then used for hay for one year and
pasture for another, going back to
corn the next year.
when the farm is lined and
grows clover successfully, the soy
beans and peas may eliminated, ex-
cept as they arc planted in corn. In
this rotation the corn might be fol-
lowed with wheat, the wheat har-
vested and the land plowed in sum
mer and lined, and sown in late Sep
TENDER to barley or winter oats and
red clover and grass. The barley
would then be harvested and possibly

SOME ROUGH.

Mrs. Gray said he enticed her, af-
ter they had been separated, to his
room in a hotel, stripped off her
clothes, tied her to the bed by her
wrists with her silk stockings, and
wrapped Turkish towel around her
mouth so tightly that it~cut her lips,
and then beat her with belt and
belt buckle until her body was mass
of bruises from shoulder to heels.
Then he left the room after cut
ting the telephone wires. Mrs. Gray,
who only weighed 115 pounds, work
ed loose her bonds, dressed, and then
called the police
Judge Kennedy fined Gray $500.

er hay crop the second year and then
the land could be grazed the follow
ing year. Both of these are five year
rotations. The latter rotation might
be shortened into four, provided
there is an abundance of permanent
pasture on the farm"
While it is difficult, in fact almost
impossible to outline a cropping sys-

every farm is bound to have a differ

change with a satisfactory alterna-

believed that these suggestions will
be of some help to farmers in general

AGRONOMY SPECIALIST
SUGGESTS GOOD CROPPING
SYSTEM FOR FARMERS

That farmers of Tennessee are
keenly interested in adopting a good
cropping system is indicated by the
numerous inquiries coming to ]. C.
McAmis, specialist in agronomy, Di-
vision of Extension, University of
Tennessee. Letters asking for sug-
gestions and information on the sub
jet are being received from all parts
OF the State and it is belie.ed that
the following .ctter written by Mr..
McAmis in reply to one of these in
quiries will be of interest to many
farmers:
Zone of the first things that should
be pI ovided on any farm is plenty of
good hay AMI an abundance of pas
t.irage. On lined land red clover and
a little alfalfa makes a good combi
nation. These crops may be sown
Sc 1arate CT they may be mixed. In
the absence of coed red clover, soy
b7ans or cowpeas o. 6, mixture of the
two are the bes' substitutes. When
fe, ding either cowpeas or soybeans,
the manure must be carefully saved
ard returned to the land if ony i'm
provement is to he expected. Lime
and phosphate, of course, help both
OF these crops as we'll as red clover
aid alfalfa. Crimson clover, or Grim
son clover and rye mixed makes the
hest winter pasture.
