HANCOCK COTTON CROP
EXCEEDS LAST YEARS

SPARTA, Dec. 28.-The latest
report of cotton ginned in Han
cock county shows that there were
1887 bales ginned, counting round
bales as half, lin this county prior
to December IS, 1928 as compared
with 781 bales gignned to Deem
her Is, 1922. This is consider
able gain over last year. Next year
the gain promises to be even great
er than this as many of the farm
ers have learned to combat the wee
vii in more scientific manner. The
farmers next year, many of whom
will diversity their crops. planted
two to four acres Of tobacco along
with few acres of cotton, corn
peas and beans. With the good start
already made this year, agricultural

WILL COOPERATE in
COMING FARM CENSUS

ATLANTA, Dec. 28.-- Both the
federal and state agricultural de-
partment probably win participate
in the farm census that is to be
taken in Georgia in 1925. 1t is
not likely that they will combine
forces in the work, although there
is nothing officially known to this
affect as yet.
In the meantime, however, both
departments are going ahead with
plans for an agricultural census.
The Georgia department is working
on plans for its annual report show
ing the agricultural progress Of the
state.
The federal department is plan
ming for a nationwide census of
agriculture, the value of which DR..
H. G. Taylor chief of the bureau
of agricultural economics of the
federal department., emphasizes as
an aid in developing national agri
cultural policies.
In working out the details of a
properly balanced system Of nation
al agriculture under conditions, the
basic agricultural statistics collected
in 1920 are inadequate,'' DR.. Tay-
Tor says. Eat that time Ameri-
can agriculture was still in a period
of establishment from war condi-
lions, and the statistics reflect the
transitory effects of the war rath-
er than to provide data from which
national agricultural policies may
be developed"

SMITH-HUGHES ACT is
PRAISE DBY PROF. DAY

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA,
Dec. 28.-The Smith-Hughes Act
providing for the teaching of agri-
cultural education, trades indus
tries, and home economics in the
United States is destined to have an
important relation to the prosper
ity and progress Of the American
people in the future development
of the nation, according to James
w. Day, professor of agricultural
education, addressing one of his
university classes.
Former Congressman Dudley M,
Hughes, of the Twelfth Georgia
District, who resides now near
Dudley, Ca, is one of the authors
of the Act.
Since the bill was past in The. war
period of 1917, in order to insure a
greater production of crops to the
United States and the world at
large, there has been a gratifying
increase in the amount of farming
along scientific lines, said the pro-
fessor. He added that this went
hand in hand with better crops of
finer quality. increased yields on
the same or lesser amounts of
ground. and the whole was done
with less effort and worry on the
part of the operator due to know
ingNhow to plan and carry out the
operation so as to accomplish the
most with the least effort.

IN this CASE HIS DREAM
CAME TRUE--ARRESTED
Delivered Nine Gallon Order to
Officers and Instead of $40
He Was Punched

Howard Foy, farmer, of Winding
Ridge, west of Keyser's Ridge, on the
National Road, received an order one
day early last week for nine gallons
of mOOnshine to be delivered on Sun
day. The night following the re-
ceipt of the order Foy told some one
that he had dreamed he had been ar
rested by Federal Enforcement Off
Ger George w. Hawkins, of Cumber-
land, when he delivered the goods.
His dream came true. The nine
gallons were ordered by Enforcement
Agent Arch Hatfield, who at present
is assisting Agent Hawkins. The hqu-
or was delivered Sunday as per sched-
ule, Agents Hawkins and Hatfield and
Sheriff Ashby going down to Foy's
place in an automobile from Oakland.
The moonshine when it came into the
possession of the officers was still
warm, having been run off but a few
minutes before their arrival. Instead
of receiving $40 for the liquor Foy
found himself under arrest. He was
taken to Cumberland where he enter
ed a plea of guilty before United
States Commissioner Anderson on
Monday and was held in $1,000 bond
for the Federal grand jury.
In addition to the liquor, the Off
GERS also confscated twentyg gallon
still, which was found in Foy's home.
Another order for four gallons of
corn liquor had been placed with
Foy's neighbor, William Failinger.
Delivery was to have been made on
Sunday also and when the two Off
GERS arrived at Failinger's home, a
short distance from that of Foy's, he
went to the barn and produced the
liquor. They would not pay him,
however, until he showed them his
still, 50 that they could see how it was
made and if the Surroundings We're
sanitary.
Failinger then uncovered one Of the
best camouiaged stills ever found in
this section. It was in a cave followed
out of a pile Of saw dust where saw
mil! had once been located. When
not in use the entrance was complete
ly covered with saw dust and no trace
of the cave could be discerned.
Failinger was also arrested and was
taken 70 Cumberland where he en-
tered a plea of guilty and was placed
under $1,000 bond for the federal court
action.
Two other stills in the same COM
munity were discovered by the Off
GERS Sunday, but as the owners were
away from home of course no arrests
could be made, but they will follow in
a very few days.

WIFE OF BALL PLAYER
HURT NEAR EVANSVILLE
Fell From Speeding Car AT r.
r. Crossing East of Town

While en- route from Washington,
D. c., to Indianapolis, Ind, Monday
morning, Mrs. E C. Rice, wife of
"Sam" Rice, well-known member of
the Washington club of the American
League, sustained severe injuries
about the head and body when she fell
from the automobile in which she was
riding near Grantsville, on the Ma
tiOnal Road.
In crossing the tracks cf the Jen-
nings Railroad east of Grantsville, the
rear end of the car bounded high in
the air and Miss Dorothy Owens, sis
ter of Mrs. Rice, who was riding on
the rear seat, was thrown violently
against the top of the car in its re-
bound. Mrs. Rice, who was riding be-
side her husband on the front seat,
saw her sisters mishap and thinking
she was injured attempted to go to
her assistance, forgetting that the car
was in motion. Mechanically she OPP
ened the door and stepping out she
was thrown to the hard surface of the
road. Mrs. Rice was at once taken to
the Miners Hospital at Frostbu~g
and her injuries treated by DR.. E. B.
Claybrook, of Cumberland, who stated
that she had sustained fracture of
the skull.
Her condition was sufficiently i'm
proved for her to resume her journey
a day or two after the accident, but
Mr.. Rice was so pleased with the hos
pitable treatment received at Frost
burg that he decided to remain week
longer and then return to his home in
Washington.

OAKLAND MODEL BAKERY
TO BE GREATLY ENLARGED
Some New Machinery Already
Installed-New Building Will
Be Erected in the Spring

For Oakland to keep abreast with
the times and conditions which now
confront its citizens and business men
will require much effort and the ex-
penditure OF large sums of money for
improvements and requirements es-
pecially in the line of manufacture.
Not waiting for the press of business
to be of such volume as to swamp
progressive organizations unprepared
for the increase in business that has
already set in, several of the more
progressive business men have antic-
ipated changed conditions and are
planning to meet these conditions
when they present themselves.
Among the business men of Oak
land who have seen the opportunity
and grasped it is Mr.. Henry Lauer,
proprietor Of the Oakland Model Bak-
cry, who has had installed in his es-
tablishment a Peerless all-metal
blending, elevating, sitting and mix
ing combination machine. The bread
now sold in the bakery is made by this
machine which insurcs the highest
degree of sanitation in bread-making,
the materials into the bread and other
products not being touched by the
hands of the workers.
Absolutely no dust can find its way
into the dough, as the machine is so
constructed that the ingredients are
not exposed until ready for the oven.
The features of this machine per-
nit the sitting of the flour without
clogging ard when the flour reaches
the mixing bowl, after having passed
through four fine screens, it is clean
and so loose, light and fluffy that it
absorbs the other ingredients freely,
insuring quicker mixing and more
superior bread that resulted in the
old way Of preparing the dough.
In addition to the installation of
this machine other improvements are
contemplated by the owner Of the
establishment. The erection Of a two
story brick building, 35x20 feet, ad-
joining the present plant on Second
street has been planned. In this will
be erected one of the latest model
ovens which will have twice the ca
pacity of the one now in use and
which is Immediately necessary ow-
ing to the great increase in business.
Another auto delivery truck will also
be placed in commission and regular
routes to Friendsville and other places
in the northern and western section
of the county will be established and
operated regularly.
