SEEKING SECRETS OF PLANTS

There is reason to hope that the
world may be greatly enriched
through the results Of observations
and experiments to determine just
how certain plants manage to assimi-
late nitrogen from the atmosphere.
1t has been discovered that such
plants as peas, beans and clovers have
their roots invaded by myriads OF
minute organisms which may be either
bacteria or parasitic fungi.
These organisms in some unknown
way incite the plants to increased &C.
tivity so that they are able to assimi-
late free nitrogen from the atmoS
phere and thereby to supply, through
their own subsequent decay, an abun-
dance of nitrates, nitrites, ammonia
and other heterogeneous substances to
the soil.
Efforts have been made to deter
mine whether some other stimulus be-
sides that furnished by the organisms
referred to may not be supplied to
plants which will enable them still
more effectually to assimilate nitro
gen from the air for the ultimate
enrichment of the soil.-Washington

CATTLE AND HOGS
IN BIG, NEW BARNS
Memphis Live Stock Shows win Be-
Better Than Ever.

Housed in splendid new buildings
designed especially for the purpose.
and with every conceivable conyen.
ience and arrangement, the great an.
nual live stock show should be the
greatest in the history of the Memphis
Tri4State Fair, Sept. 20 to 30.
Two fine structures, one for cattle
and the other for swine, will be spick
and span and ship-shape for opening
day. There will be plenty OF room
for far greater shows than ever have
been held in the South, SO that both
exhibitors and visitors will have every
possible advantage In the department.
The new buildings are important
parcels of the 100000 building pro.
gram now being wound up They are
Of the same general appearance. Each
is 200 feet wide by 400 feet long, huge
buildings admirably lighted and venti-
lated and with all necessities such rs
running water, big show rings and
so on.
For several years the Memphis live
stock show has been one of the most
important OF any similar show in the
Southern states. 1t is the big show
room for the breeders and the mecca
for Southern farmers interested in the
highest types Of farm stock. Keen
competition is an established charac.
teristic and winnings mean much in
themselves, but the Fair this year Is
offering something like $4,000 in cash
premiums, 50 that 1t should bring to-
gether an assemblage Of live stock
that will easily eclipse any past event.

The Presidents Veto.

President Harding has at last
political coward. 1t was hard to be-
lieve, even in the face of reports,
that he would veto the adjusted COM
pensation bill. But he did. He
did it after lot of jelly beans had
shifted the burden to his shoulders.
And then, after it was done, he made
no effort to excuse himself on the
grounds of expediency. He declared
that "a peace bestowal on the ex-
service men, as though the supreme
offering could be paid for in cash, is d
peryersion of the public funds, re-
yersal of the policy which exalted
patriotic service in the past, and
suggests that future defense is to be
inspired by compensation rather than
the consciousness of duty to flag and
country
You can say if you want to that
big interests had something to do
with this, but l say that the impulse
and the temptation to court the
graces of the men who fought in the
trenches was the hardest thing in
the world to resist. 1t just simply
took man to do it. can see anoth-
er great President making the mis-
take. From this time the bitterest
critics of the Executive, tho they diff
fer with him, should have a great
deal more respect for his public acts.

MADE NO SORT or A HIT
Good Wife Failed Altogether to Ap.
preclate Whatever Point There
Was in Hubby's Story.

AT certain family dinner party or
the North side the son of the house
provided some good-natured raillery
at his young wife's expense.
While attending a recent club
luncheon, he had heard what he con-
sidered prize story, and that same
evening jocularly repeated 1t at his
own dinner table. The story runs
something like this:
Two old darkies stopped to look
at a circus billboard, one Of them
reading aloud that this circus was
"the biggest land best on earth,' while
the other declared that its claim was
"the biggest and best on earth 'cept
one" and clinched his argument by
pointing to the words "Sept. l." print.
ed at the bottom of the poster. (How.
ever, in telling the story all mention
of the date is purposely omitted, as
the listeners own ingenuity Is sup
posed to fathom the meaning of the
phrase, "cept one")
But the little story seemed to have
fallen quite flat, as the wife sat and
regarded him In stony silence.
'Don't quite get it, do your"
queried the young husband.
"Sure l get it, but I can see moth
ing very funny in naughty stories, my
self" was the exceedingly digniffed
answer.
"Naughty STORIES" exclaimed the as
tonished husband. "Just how do you
make that out?"

Democratic Campaign Committee.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 20.-Demo-
Gratis from every section of Tennes-
see who have visited the Democratic
State Headquarters here within the
last few days have without exception
expressed the view that the one thing
necessary to insure normal Demo-
cratic majority for the whole ticket
this fall is organization.
''The campaign has passed the
stage where there is any doubt of
our success" said Jos. w. Byrns, of
Nashville, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee. 1t sis
is now a question of the size of the
majority. l want majority so
large that the Democratic party will
be left in peace to work out the con-
structive program proposed by its
nominees. If every Democrat in ev-
cry county will help the majority
should be even larger than the old
time figures. The way to make this
certain is for every Democrat to do
just as much organization and ed
ucational work as possible. The
Democrat who fails to do so will be
remiss in his duty to the State"
Formation of Democratic clubs has
been begun in many counties, ex-
tending into precincts and communi-
fiaC Of J,1Ic
pledged to vote in Nogember and help
get out a full Democratic vote. Dem |
ocratic leaders say that if only fair
percentage of the known Democrats |
in Tennessee will go to the polls the
majority will be surprising
Chairman Byrns is anxious that |
many of these clubs be formed this
week so they can be ready to welcome
the nominees when they take the |
stump. The speaking campaign will |
be in full swing by October 1. Sen
ator Kenneth Mcclellan, of Memphis,
candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate; Austin Peay,
of GAINESVILLE, nominee for Governor;
and Porter Dunlap, of Mckenzie,
nominee for Railroad Commissioner,
will be on the hastings by that time.
Besides the nominees, there will be
fully one hundred other speakers,
many of whom have already volun-
teored their services, who can be sent
into any section of the State where
their services are requested. Some
Democrats have already expressed the
opinion that several Democratic lead
ers of national reputation should be
invited to speak in the State, but no
definite decision has been reached as
yet about this. Mr.. Byrns has been
told by many that William jennings
