THE GRAPE, ITS CHEAPNESS
AND MANY USES.

The grape is a delicious and useful
fruit and its varieties are almost with
out limit. Green grapes can be con-
yerted into the finest of jellies and
canned for making pies. Ripe grapes
can be made into preserves, jelly, mar
malade-and best Of all, unfermented
grape juice. The homemade grape
Juice, properly put up, rs immensely
superior to the commercial quality
and will sell on the market for good
price.
Grapes can be grown (except the
Scupanong variety from rootless cut
tings and the cuttings can be had with
out cost when the old vines are pruned
in February-hence, ones wire fences
can be literally covered whit grape
vines without cent of cost-yet place
after place can be found without sim
gle grape vine growing on it. Right
here in this section, as many as at
least six or eight varieties Of grapes
can be found. We have on our own
place in Lexington at least five varie-
ties and shades-three or four shades
Of the blue Concord, the Perkins,
white, which turns pink when full ripe,
and one brown, the last two being
much sweeter when first ripe enough
to eat than any Of the Concords.

HICKMAN COUNTY GETS RIGHT

The Hickman county court has vot-
ed to employ an agricultural demon
stration agent.
Why it permitted lapse in the
service Of this essential individual, we
do not know.
OF course there are good and bad
demonstration agents, just as there
are good and bad men in every walk
of life.
But there is no question in the
minds Of reasonable men as to the
value of a good demonstration agent
tc an agricultural confmunity. svse
From all accounts, Hickman county
did have good agent in its employ
and let him go in order to save mon
ey.
The county didn't save a cent. II
was a costly experiment. Some may
regard the saving in the demonstra-
tion agents salary as something of an
item, but chalked up against the cost
to individuals throughout the county
who had come to rely upon the agent,
the result appears in red ink
Even the best of us need to learn
a little now and then, and the demon
stration agent is a handy fellow to
have around. He can save the farm
er many costly error and many a
long step. He is natural organizer
and mixer who is constantly working
toward a happier farm life and a
greater return for farm labor.
Every agricultural county in this
state can afford to invest in a good
demonstration agent mad we are glad
to see Hickman County get right

Little Johnnie, daughter of Mrs
Estelle and the late John Wilkerson
celebrated the sixth anniversary OF
her birth last Friday, the 21st inst.
and had with her eighteen of her
young friends. The little lady's good
mother had prepared birthday cake,
which was decorated with six candles
of different colors and to the cake,
when cut, was added other refresh
ments which were enjoyed by the
guests and little hostess. Johnnie was
the recipient Of several presents,
nearly all Of which were useful as
well as pretty. Little Johnnie had
the misfortune to lose her father

ROCK HILL COMMUNITY CLUB.

1t was our pleasure and distinctly
our profit to attend the Rock Hill
Community Club meeting last Satur.
day night in company with County
Agent H. A. Powers.
The program was varied and excel.
lent, Prof. Powers made perhaps the
longest talk of the evening and each
and every number on the program
by both gentlemen and ladies was
practical and well worth listening to
President Joe Allen Deere stated that
the Club was fortunate in having
present one of the county newspaper
men--and we stated that the club was
also unfortunate in the fact that the
said newspaper man was not public
speaker. But we stated, as we dc
whenever opportunity presents, that
the Community Clubs of Henderson
county are doing a great work, in
bringing people to gether in social in
tercourse and in working for advance
ment of every line of endeavor in
which the people and their children
are interested. We appreciate the
statement from President Deere that
The Lexington Progress is and has al
ways been deeply interested in the
welfare of the farmers of Henderson
county-and we yet pledge to them
continuance of cooperation in the ef-
fort to put Henderson county agricul-
ture where it rightfully belongs, in
the forefront of West Tennessee
counties. We are going to keep on at
tending these county community club
meetings, for to US there is no great
er pleasure than getting out among
the people with whom we have lived
and labored for .3S years-and hope
fro quite few MORE" as our friends
say North of the line between hot bis

While Hon. T. w. Sims has been in
Lexington, between MS trips over the
State in his candidacy for the United
States Senate, he has spent consider
able time in our office and has often
made talks to assembled friends, in
small numbers, on various subjects
which talks were both highly enter
tanning and enlightening to his hear
ers. A few days ago he talked at
length on the fact that the Federal
district bench, has in this country,
been the Congressional "lame duck
pond"-the landing place, for life, for
men who were wholly untitled for the
judicial life and who carried their
violent, partisan feelings to the last
place in the world such partisan feel
ings and bias should be permitted
the bench. Another subject on which
he has talked was fixing the constitu-
tionality OF laws enacted by Congress,
and the farcical appointment Of
Judges by the President Of the United
States-which, as q matter of fact. is
done by the Senate; also, that a ma

Judge of the Supreme Court, while
one objector can prevent such con-
firmation, as shown by the fact that
two splendid judges appointed by
Grover Cleveland, when President,
were turned down on the objection of
Hill, of New York-and one of the
men turned down was substituted bv
the late Chief Justice White, of Lou
isiana, who was then Senator, and
who happened to be splendid material
for the Supreme bench. After the
August primary Mr.. Sims has prom
ised to write some articles for US, on
various subjects, which will be worth
being kept by those who seek inform
alton from a man who is remarkably
familiar with the conduct Of affairs
in this country and who is able TO
suggest improvement in every case
that he eriticises the way and manner
in which things are now done.

Martin Youngerman has the best
peach orchard in Henderson county
proven by the fact that no other col
lection Of trees has produced 200
bushels Of good peaches and put 5000
net, into the pocket Of the owner. And
so It is with everything-politics, re-
ligion, social endeayor, the only proof
worth considering being the fruits
produced. That which does not pro-
duce good fruit is not worth arguing
nor is a man, woman, tree or plant,
not properly cared for, worth the

Amendment Number One
Will be But Initial Step
After its Adoption the Minnesota
Legislature Must Work Out
Details Of Plan

Adoption of Amendment No. l.
Rural Credits is but an initial step
in the establishment of a state rural
credits system for Minnesota, says
J. F. Reed, chairman of a special COM
mittee of farm leaders that is sponsor
ing the amendent, which comes up for
consideration at the November z
elections.
'The amendment ITSELF" says Mr..
Reed, "paves the way for legislative
action later, as it will lift the con-
stitutional limitation that now pre-
vents the establishment of a farm
loan system such as farmers have
needed for years. If the amendment
fails to receive the solid support of
the rural districts, the legislature will
remain powerless to take any Steps
whatsoever, for without that supper
adoption seems improbable. J."
While farm leaders obviously can
not at this time state positively the
intimate details the legislature may
authorized afted the amendment is
adopted, they are agreed that the
principle of amortization in the pay
ment of loans must be recognize'i.
That is, loans must be male for 30
to 35 years, with regular annual or
semi-annual installments, each ill.,
Stallment to cover interest crarges
and small payment on principal so
as to retire the loan at the end IF
the period. 1t is also agree that tax
payers shall not bear the cost If tire
system, necessary overhead being met
by making the interest rate on loans
enough higher than that paid On
bonds to cover the expense.

Former Sank Centre Man

Long Duration-Deceased Was

The Daily News, Twin Falls, Idaho,
September IA, gives an account of
the death of Harold w. Taylor. The
deceased was the son of Mrs. Stewart
Taylor a resident of Sank Centre for
a number of years, the family leav-
ing here about Is years ago. The
gentleman had returned to the old
town on two or three occasions, his
last visit being made about seven
years ago. The following is the News
account of Mr.. Taylor's death:
"Harold w. Taylor, who was en-
ployed here in 1906 as member of
a force of civil engineers and subse-
quently visited relatives here a num-
Der of times, died early Wednesday
morning at his home at 1854 Blue

developed soon after his arrival here

Road Tax and Gasoline
Figures Are Compared
Highway Bulletin Furnishes General
Totals to Guide Advocates of Mo-
tor Tax Law Revision

Widespread discussion in Mime
sofa of "gasoline tax brought per-
tinent figures today in the bulletin
issued by the state highway depart
ment.
Various proposals to use gasoline
consumption as the yard stick for
measuring the motor vehicle taxes,
the bulletin suggests, must recognize
facts:
Minnesota will continue a leader
for good roads only when larger high
way funds are provided, now that
other states are supplying vast sums
through bond issues and appropria-
tions.
Out of 137,75O,OO0 gallons of gas
oline consumed in Minnesota during
the last year according to the state
oil inspection report, probably less
than 125,OOO,OOO gallons were used in
motor vehicles.
A 1-cent a gallon tax on gasoline,
therefore, would have produced about
S1,25O,OOO, or one-ffth of the amount
of revenue derived from the present
motor vehicle license schedules.
While a scent gasoline tax would
approximate the revenue return on
motor vehicles now, a 7-cent tax would
be necessary to yield the expected
annual total of $10,0O0,0O0 of trunk
highway funds, now that federal aid
is reduced.
But with a reasonable license tax
furnishing regular funds, an a addi-
tional tax of cents on gasoline and
used for permanent betterments would
mean $2,50O,000 extra improvements
every year, paid for in part by tourists
from other states and taking but
$3.50 from the average car owner in
return for greater savings he would
make on repairs, tires and gasoline.
"Tests show that a car making Is
miles on a gallon of gasoline on I'M
improved roads will cover from Is to
20 miles a gallon on good roads," the
bulletin continues, minnesota has
registered nearly $4,000 motor vehtc-
les. Average annual travel is estimat-
ed at 5000 miles, making grand tot
al of 1,750,O00,0OO car miles a year in
this state. A saving of only cent 4
mile on car repairs, tires and gasoline
thus would aggregate $17,500,000 OF
more than twice the current revenues
now turned into the trunk highway
fund. 1t would mean a saving Of $50
a year to the average car owner.
Another way, a saving of cents a
gallon on gasoline consumption would
total more than $5,500,000 a year in
Minnesota. Any conclusion leads to
the question of whether Minnesota car
owners care to simply divert money
from car and tire manufacturers and
and oil refiners to road betterments. "
The bulletin states that the high
way department is collecting data
for the legislature but has not adopted
any recommendations on the subject.
