All Cheap Skates.

A scientist tells us that the av-
erage human body contains materials
PHOSPHORUS, sulphur, magnesium
hydrogen, oxygen, etc. totaling, in
value, about SO cents. The human
body, in short, from a physical
or rather, chemical-standpoin is
worth less than a dollar.
Yet there are conceited people!
AFTERTH0UGHT.
And while we're on the subject of
the 9S-cent body, may we not philos-
ophize a bit?
In the light of this new disclosure,
why worry about death?
Death destroys only the body.
So if you die, you'e only SO cents
short. That's all it amounts to.
With these facts in mind, it seems
foolish to spend money for physical
repairs, does it not? For dentists
and doctors bills, we'n say.
Think how silly it is to have a
thirty dollar-gold filing fastened to
a 9s-cent piece of machinery.
Like gold bumpers on a flivver!-

WEST TENNESSEE FARMERS
URGE SAFE FARMING
Annual Institute at Station Farm Has
Large Attendance.

The West Tennessee farmers insti-
tute which met at the Experiment
Station at Jackson July 1927, was
pronounced by hundreds of farmers
in attendance as the best farm meet
ing that has ever been held in the
section.
The various sessions of the meet
ing were characterized by q strong
sentiment for safe and sane system
Of farming which includes the grow
ing of ample feed ctuff for the fam
lily and livestock on every farm. The
invasion of the boil weeyil was dis
cussed and as one solution, speakers
and farmers URGED that the COW, the
SOW and the hen should be included
on every cotton farm. Since livestock
is recognized as the cheapest method
for building up and maintaining soil
fertility and in view of the fact that
there are brighter prospects for prof
table prices ahead farmers were
urged to raise more livestock and to
use purebred sires at the head of
the herds and flocks. The great need
of enriching the soil by the use
of manure, fertilizers, lime, and the
growing of legumes, the value of
which was demonstrated to the farm
ers by the inspection trips over the
station farm was pointed out. An
other keynote of the institute was
that since production is only half the
job that farmers of the section adopt
the policy of marketing their prod
ucts just,as scientifically as they pro-
duce them, and in this connection
they urge cooperation among the
farmers in marketing their various
crops. In the resolution adopted by
the farmers attention was called to
the value of the county and home
demonstration agents and those
counties not having them were urged |
to employ same.

ACUTE HEART ATTACK
FATAL TO GEO. R. LACY
Desha County Sheriff Drops Dead in
Arkansas City.

Sheriff George R. Lacy, for 30-odd
years a prominent citizen of Desha
County, Ark, dropped dead in his
home in Arkansas City early last
night. Advices received by local rel
atives last night were to the effect
that death was due to an acute at
tack of the heart.
Mr.. Lacy visited the steamer Kate
Adams, docked at the Arkansas City
wharf, at 1880 o'clock and returned
to his home. The attack came imme-
diately after he reached his residence
and he expired within few minutes.
Sheriff Lacy was 81 years of age
and had lived in Arkansas City since
his early manhood. He was born and
reared in st. Mary's Parish, La, the
son of sugar planter, and moved to
Arkansas City soon after the death
Of his father.

was a grading contractor and built

PASSAGE OF TARIFF
MEASURE DOUBTFUL
Administration Bill May Not Ga
Through at the Present Session.

Washington, July 31.--Whether
the administration tariff bill will be
enacted before the November cleo
tions again has become the sub
iect Of private discussion. There is
more or less general belief in the
Senate that the measure cannot be
brought to a final vote there before
Sept. Is, and there are those who be-
lieve the ironing out of differences
between the Senate and the House in
conference will be so slow that it
cannot be completed before Congress
goes home for the fall campaign.
Some Democratic leaders express
the belief that the House will balk
at some of what the minority have
insisted are high duties. These lead
ers think that when the measure goes
to conference the House viii! reserve
the right of separate vote on a num-
ber of questions.
The move from the Democratic side
Saturday for an investigation of
charges that some Senators are finan-
cially interested in the wool and
other duties voted into the bill may
operate to delay Senate action. The
Democrats say they will press their
resolution for an inquiry, and further
heated discussion on the floor appears
in prospect.
While the fight over the wool
schedule is about over, other commit
tee amendments will cause sharp con-
troversies.
The promised disagreement be-
tween the House and Senate over
American valuation is not expected
to materialize, Senate leaders holding
that the House will yield on this
question in view of the flexible tariff
provisions written into the bill by
Senate Committee in accord with the
of President Hard
ing.
Aside from this question, however,
there will be more than 1000 items
in dispute between the house and
Senate.
AS the fight over rates goes for
ward in the Senate, sentiment in
favor of a scientific tariff" to be
built around recommendation of the
,ariff commission apparently con-
,inues to increase.

HARDING NOT
To APPOINT
v. P. HARDING
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.

lSTAFF CORRESPONDENT /. N. sERvfcE1
WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-President
Harding has finally decided not to
reappoint William p. G. Harding as
governor Of the federal reserve
board. II was learned from admin
istration sources.
With Governor Harding elimin-
ated from further consideration, the
president was reported facing a new
row over the naming OF his sue
cessor. A strong following within
the administration ranks. it was
learned. has urged the appointment
or democrat to succeed Governor
Harding. who went into office a
Alabama under former President
Wilson. The naming of a Demo
crat would halt all charges that
politics actuated the removal OF
Governor Harding.
The two men reported most ac-
ceptable" to all conflicting interests
and who are said to find favor with
President Harding are Edmund
Platt of New York. present vice
governor of the board, and D. r.
Crissinger Of Ohio. the comptroller
OF the currency. Crissinger was
said to have the inside track" be-
cause of his former political af-
filiations with the democratic party.
The presidents decision to drop
Governor Harding and the name Of
his successor Will be made public as
soon as congress -re-convenes in No
vember. IT was said. The NOMINAL
tion of either Crissinger or Plat
is not expected to meet with oppo-
sition in the senate where both men
enjoy a host of friendships
The dropping of Governor Hard
ing will represent a victory for
American farm organizations over
banking interests opposition to
Governor Harding's rule of the gov
ernments financial system and pro-
tests against his reappointment be-
gan as soon as President Harding
came into office, coming principally
from agricultural sources.
One delegation of western sena-
tors urged the president to curb
Governor Harding's activities as
early is two weeks after the presl-
dents inauguration. IL was sai1. TIE
protests were continued from time
TO time until at least a dozen SEN
ators had personally urged the pres
ident to intervene. Later the pro-
tests were confined to requests that
Governor Harding not be reap
pointed.
BESIDES the naming of new
chairman. the president also had
under consideration the appointment
OF dirt farmer" to the board.
The leading candidates for this post
