TURKEYS SEEM To
Be VERY PROFITABLE
CROP THIS SEASON
One Man Shipped AZ That Brought
Him 38 to az Cents a Pound
in Nashville.

The turkey crop in this county this
year seems to be above the average
and the high prices the birds are
bringing is making the raising of tur-
keys very profitable business as a
farming side line.
Monroe Bickford, who lives near
Lantana, shipped 42 for Thanksgiving
which brought him SO cents for toms
and 42 cents for hens delivered IN
Nashville.
Joe Davis, who lives near Vandeevr
brought IS to town last week and
sold them for 26 cents pound He
sold few to neighbors and kept sew
eral for breeding purposes.
Sheriff J. H. Henry has about 20 that
his folks are fattening for he Christ
mas market. Mrs Ernest Bell, How
ard Springs, has raised about 40 this
year. She has sold a few and is fat
tening the remainder for the Christ
mas market.
At the E. G. Handy farm a few
miles from Clifty, there is nice bunch
of about 60. At the home of Esq J.L.
Anderson there is bunch of about 80
of the finest turkeys we have seen
this season. There are very likely
other punches over the county that we
have not learned of.
The important thing that now pre-
sents itself to those who do not have
their own breeding stock is, that the
time is now at hand when breeding
stock should be secured for if that is
left until after Christmas the supply
will he SO mrch reduced that breeding
stock will be very scarce, if obtain
able at all.
We learn from inquiry that the
Mammoth Bronze is the best turkey
for this section, all things considered.
They grow very large, are hardy and
seem to do exceptionally well in this
section.
Almost every farm in this county
should have at least a few turkeys to
sell each year, for the growing of
turkeys along with the chickens
should be no large task and come in in
good shape.

MAGICIAN ARRESTED FOR
PAYMENT OF LICENSE
Neglected to Pay the Tax Required
by Law Until Arraigned Be-
fore Esq. u. S. Rose.

A man who called himself Wallace
the Magician, gave a slight of hand
performance in the court house Thurs
day night to an audience that taxed
the circuit court room to its capacity
He arranged with the city school to
give one-third of the proceeds to the
school for an effort on the part OF the
teachers and children to assist in get
ting out a crowd. The character OF
the show and the effort put forth re-
suited in the admissions amounting to
about $40 to SIS.
Before he began to show he was
approached by Sheriff ]. H. Henry,
at the request of County Chairman,
]. F. Brown, in behalf of County Clerk
W. D. Hedgecoth, who was at home
for the day, with the request that he
pay the license fee of $II.5o before
he showed He demurred on the
grounds that he was giving a part of
the proceeds to the city school, which
he thought would exempt him from
the license charge.
When Clerk Hedgecoth came to his
office Friday morning and found that
Wallace had showed without paying
the license fee, he isuued warrant
for Wallace and had him taken be-
fore Esq. U. S. Rose for trial. Wallace
claimed before Esq. Rose that he had
been assured by Cashier ]. S. Reed
that there would be no license fee and
that if it had to be paid that he
thought that Reed would pay it.
To give Wallace a chance to see
Mr.. Reed, court was adjourned Tor a
short time. 1t seems that Wallace
did not approach Mr.. Reed about it.
He paid the fee and cost totaling $I3
and was released.
Some persons seem to feel that the
man should not have been &eQuircd to
pay the license because he gave a
part of the proceeds to the public
school. A short time ago Clerk Hedge
Goth received letter from the State
Comptroller notifying him not to al
low any person to escape payment OF
the license fee because they agreed to
give part of the proceeds of a show
to any school or charitable institution.
Under those instructions Clerk Hedge
Goth had not choice in the matter He
was only fulfilling his duty as an Of
hcer and took no action that the law
did not require.

FIVE FORMER CREEK CABINET

AS an outcome of the disastrous de-
feat OF the Greek army in Asia Minor

cabinet members have been tried by
court martial and executed by being
shot They were previously fined
heavily and disgraced IN the army.
Prince Andrew, brother of former
king Constantine, has also been tried
for disobeying orders and banished

graced. Prince Andrew claims the
loss to the Greek army would have
been much greater had he obeyed the
orders. q,
There is much ndigna tion expressed
nv several of the European govern
ments, especially Great Britain, who
Withdrew her representative at once.
Those in authority in Greece ignore

YOUR WAR
STAMPS AND GIT
NEW CERTIFICATES
They Pay Four Percent Interest and
Are Not Subject
to Taxes.

! During the war the government of.
fered war savings stamps, paying about
4 percent as a method of saving foi
people of small means. Since the war
and to take the place of war savings
stamps, the government offered Treas
Jury savings certificates in denomina-
tions of SIS, $Ioo and 1000, now sold
investors at $4,000, $S2 and $3.50, re-
spectively. They pay percent if held
until maturity, five years from the
date of issue. About $o25,ooo,ooo OF
war savings stamps, series of 1913, be-
come due January Ist, 1923, and the
Government now offers to issue Treas
ury savings certificates in exchange
for them, affording the owners an op-
portunity of continuing a safe invest
ment with good interest. Saving has
furnished the life blood for many ma
ions and insures prosperity to the
people. The-Government is doing ev.
erything possible to encourage saving
i'll the United States by offering sound
and attractive securities for the in
vestment of small sums. If you want
to save, and insure your future, it
would pay you to investigate Uncle
Sans Savink System.
1T is to be hoped that every person
who can do so will exchange War
Savings Stamps, son to fall due, for
Treasury savings certificates" said
Postmaster R. A. Potter. "The large
amount OF money invested and the
great number of persons who purchas-
ed war savings stamps showed that
the people of this country could save
money when necessity arose. Now,
if they will take the money they saved
when they bought stamps to aid the
government in the prosecution of the
war and buy Treasury savings certifi-
Gates, they will demonstrate that the
thrift lessons of the war have not
been without effect The holders of
war savings stamps have seen invest
ments of about $2o.5o grow to $z5 in
five years, and larger aruunts in the
same proportion. They can see the
same thing repeated il they will re-
invest in Treasury savings certificates.
Interest accumulates at the rate of q
percent each year, compounded semi
annually. These savings certificates
are exempt from the normal Federal
income tax, and from all State and
local taxation (except estate and in
heritance taxes), and may be held to
the amount of $1,000, maturnty value,
for each issue, by every member of a
family. They are backed by the cred
it of the United States Government,
and afford an easy and sure method of
saving"

new BRIDGE BEING BUILT
OVER DADDYS CREEK
M. B. Bilbrey Doing the Work; But
ments Expected to be Com
pleted Soon.

For several weeks M. B. Bilbrey
has been working on the concrete but
ments of the new Antioch bridge,
which is to span Daddys Creek, four
teen miles north of Crossville. With
another week of good weather he
hopes to complete the concrete work.
After the butments are completed
there will be considerable work on the
approaches, which will next engage
his attention. The bridge is to be OF
steel, which is now on the ground, but
will hardly be erected before next
summer because of the difficulty OF
putting up the false work during the
high water period There is to be only
one span of 90 feet. A single span,
even of rather great lenght as such
a course does away with the necessity
of erecting a pier in the stream. P1e's
in the stream have always proven
very hurtful to bridges at that pont.
because of the large amount of drift
rubbish that the stream carries during
the high water period.
When warm weather comes and the
waters subside the work of putting
up of the false work and placing the
steel will be taken up by Mr.. Bilbrey.
He has had extensive experience
in doing concrete work and when the
piers are completed there is every
reason to expect it to be first class
job. When completed the entire work
is expected to cost around $500

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
AND FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
Strong Effort Being Made This Year
to Surpass Sales of Amy
Previous Year.

With the annual death rate from
tuberculosis cut in Tennessee from
44IS to $780, and with a great record
of achievement in saving thousands OF
others from the ravages of this an
cient, yet modern plague, the little
Christmas seal has come back to Ten
nessee on its annual Yuletide journey
This time the Tennessee Anti-Tuberc-
ulosis Association which sponsors the
journey which is conducted under the
guidance of the allide women's organ
izations of the state, hopes to pass
all previous markes set by the little
sticker in the years gone by.
Citying some of the things which the
sale of Christmas seals has enabled
he Association to accomplish, the AS
sociation gives the little sticker all
credit for the great work done Thru
y he seal sale every Christmas, the AS
sociation secures its funds to conduct
its campaign against tuberculosis. Its
winning fight against the dread di-
sease is the result of the widespread
education of the people in the methods
of prevention and cure of tuberculo-
sis, the establishment of sanitorla,
diagnostic clinics, open air schools
fresh air camps, and nursing serv-
ice that ranks high in efficiency. The
association has also educated parents
as to the better nutrition of children,
has provided more and better faciii-
ties for the early diagnosis of the di-
sease and has built tip its own organ
ization into more effective working
fighting unit.
TO the end of continuing this splen-
did work in Tennessee, the Christmas
seals will be sold again this year All
loyal Tennesseans are expected TO DO
their share in helping the work along
BY the purchase Of shese stiekers.

price was excessive and declined to
award the contract to Mr.. Potter.
Later H. L. Spencer. one of the COM

Commission are now advertising in

poses to do it. Unless some one de-
sires the contract at the price quoted
by Mr.. Spnecer or less, the contract
will be awarded to him. Monday is
