A Good Farm Gardei Far $150
Seeds have advanced in price
and potatoes are high Ihis spring
but the good farm garden may
be had very reasonable, even
where all seeds are to be bought.
You may have a garderi with six
vegetables, suggests Q. A. Kef-
fer, director, divisirn of Exten
sion. University of Tennessee, by
using these seed:
Two dozen onion seed $ .40
One packet tomato deed .05
Quarter pound turnip feeed .25
One quart pea seed .30
Two quarts bean sed 1.00
Half bushel potato g&d 1.50
Total $3.50
And then if you wint to do
much canning, add two" quarts of
beans.
This will place near the home
a garden of which the housewife
can be proud and it will be, in
fact, a money-maker, for it will
save expense in the purchase of
food for the family.
How About Hone.
Persons who know kouth A
menca say there is a chance for
Americans to do a great; work
there. Traders and missionaries
in China write back glowing
things as to the wonders of that
land for the American. Men
who have axes to grind tell Ten-
nesseans mat Texas, or lowa, or
Florida, is the place for them.
The hire of the distant communi
'ty is great The pasture across
the fence is better than1 the clov
er that is nearest.
Human nature runs' that way.
Common sense and thoughtful
judgment say that your commun
ity is the best for you and will
do what you make it. What are
the needs of your community?
That is te first question for you
to decide, is it not?
The ftfil Conotry MercaanL
There are merchants who are
living'up to their opportunities.
Dr. Tait Butler recently said
in an address that the place of
I the middleman could hot be filled
i by any one else, that he had a
I definite place, a real function.
He has been slandered because
he has not risen to hifc opportun
ities in his community.
The country merchant should
buy and sell within his1 communi
ty. He should do this so efficient
ly (hat outside influences will
not interfere with his business.
The business of the farmer in
j ; this county and that dl the mer-
chant should in a mei&ire be the
Ii same. The community should be
I, built up by the presehce of each.
I Proper advertising will help
'iboth.

What Are You Going To Do?
Farm loan associations are be
ing organized in various com
m v .
munmes over . Tennessee, it is
well for farmers to think of
their business interests.
T 11
in some places, nowever, it is
the belief that associations have
been formed without purpose be
hind them.
Let every man asK himself,
"What am I going to do with the
money after I get it."
The man who enters a loan as
sociation is simply hiring anoth
er laborer money. Can that la
borer be employed profitably?
Have you definite use for him?
What are you going to do?
Good Griddle Cakes
More than half the foods have
advanced per cent, in price in
the last two years, according to
Bessie R. Murphy of Memphis
bureau of farm development, in
a circular on 'Inexpensive Food
just issued. Miss Murphy says
that the broblem of the home
maker today is to select foods of
high food value at low cost.
"Eat more rice," she says and
then, gives several good rice re-
ciepts, one of the best being that
for rice griddle cakes, which is
as follows;
2 cups cold boiled rice
1 pint flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 J teaspoon baking powder
J teaspoon salt
1 egg
h pint milK, or more if needed.
Sift flour, sugar, salt and bak
ing powder, add rice free from
lumps, diluted with the beaten
eggs and milk, mix into smooth
batter. Have griddle well heat
ed and greased. Bake a golden
brown and serve with syrup.
IN WHAT THINGS WILL YOU BE A LEADER
IN 1917?
We believe one of the best re
solutions any farmer can make
is this; "I am going to be in
some one respect at least the
best farmer in my neighborhood
in 1917."
It doesn't matter so much what
you resolve you will excel in.
The most important thing is the
effort
You may resolve that you are
going to have the best cattle in
the community, or the best hogs.
or the best horses, or the best
poultry-yard, or the finest corn
fielder the prize garden, or the
prettiest field of clover, or the
most fruitful orchard. Or you
may resolve that you are going
to have the prettiest home or
the best equipped home.
Or perhaps your ambition may
take a les3 tangible form. You
may resolve that no one else
shall improve faster in acquiring
knowledge of scientific farming;
that you will utilize every oppor
tunity to 6tudy books, bulletins,
and papers, and to attend insti
tutes, short courses, and farm
ers conventions. Or you may
decide that you are going to be
the best business farmer in your
section keeping accounts, study
ing markets, the preparation of
things for market, and arrang
ing for cooperative grading, ship
ping, selling, etc And again
yqu may resolve that you will de
vote your highest energies to the
development of your boys and
girls encouraging them to excel
at school and at home, in corn
club and canning club work, get
ting them interested in raising
good crops and breeding fine
stock and in building worthy
characters.
Last out not least, you may
resolve that you will let no one
excel you in the contribution you
make to community development.
Whatever thing of a busines
character a man may resolve to
excel in, he should not forget to
make his contribution to the
general advance of civilization in
his section.
Said the poet long ago;
4 'Not enjoyment and not sor
row, Is our destined end or way,
But to live that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today"
In what respect will the end of
1017 find you farther than the
end of 1915, It all depends, un
der God, upon the set and drive
of your will. A ship without a
rudder drifts, and "a man with
out a purpose is lixe a ship with
out a rudder."
Resolve now in what things
you sternly purpose to excel in
yiY, and by so doing give the
drive and tne set to your me in
the New Year-the dnve and set
toward whatever far-off ideal
you would like to achieve.

ent certificate, in lieu of the ex
amination in the Reading Circle,

at least one course in education
must be accreditably done. This
is the instruction of the state

SAYS TANLAC SAVED HIM!
FROM THE GRAVE.
Father of Sixteen Though
End Near-Told Wife
What to Do With
Child When He
Died.
What is probably the most re
markable indorsement ever giv
en a proprietary medicine was the
statement made recently by H
J. Williams, a coal miner at the
Tennessee Coal & Iron Co., mine
No. 8, near Fairfield, Ala , in the
Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful re
storation to neaitn was tola in
i i .a lit .iii
his own words, and is profound
ly interesting. His statement
follows;
i am i4 years ot age, and am
T m t m
the father of sixteen children,
eight living and eight dead. I
came to Birmingham from East
Tennessee, and have followed
mining for a good many years.
"About two years ago I took
sick. The doctors at first
thought I had Tapeworm, then
Hookworm, and finally decided it
was Pellegra. I took treatment
from a well-known Alabama Pel-
egra 'Cure,, but got no benefit,
The doctors finally told me they
couldn't do me any good, and I
quit going to see them.
"I suffered from a sort of
numb feeling all the time in my
back, and was dizzy-headed- I
couldn't stoop over, or stand on
my feet for any length of time,
and couldn't hardly eat anything
and nothing tasted good. In fact
was slowly starving to death.
"I finally decided that there
was no more hope for me in this
ifa, and I gave my ring to my
wife and told her to put the chil
dren in the Odd Fellows' Home
when I died.
"This is just the shape I was
in when, one day my little daugh
ter said; 'Papa, why dont you
try that new medicine everybody
is talking so much about? It has
helped so many people it might
help you.' Of course I had no
faith in anything, but just to
please the family, I made one
more trial and got ' this Tanlac.
May the good Lord bless the day
got this medicine, fyr it was
my salvation. .
"I gpt relief from the first bot
tle, and I began to eat and pick
up right from the start I am
now on my fifth bottle, and I
nave actually gamea deck zd
1 1 AC
Doundsand now weigh 115.
It
just looked like the more I took
he better I got and I keep on
picking up every day.
"I went over to the mines re
cently and made arrangements
o go back to work. I am strong
enough to walk around every
where I want to go, something 1
have not been able to do for over
a year, ana tnat is a iacu ian-
ac 'mighty nigh' raised me from
he dead, that's what it has done
for me. If you don't believe
what I have told you, just aik
any of the men around mine No.
8, and they will all tell you the
fix I was in, and how much bet
ter off I am now.
"Thank God I will soon be able
to earn a living for my family,
and I will owe it all to this medi
cine, Tanlac. I have just writ
ten to a daughter of mine in La-
Je h ,
meuiune ime mis, arm i want
her to take it and get well.
"I dont believe now I ever had
Pellagra, because I never did
have any breaking out of any
kind. I don't believe I had Hook
worm, either, but whatever it
was, this Tanlac certainly fixed
me. I don't recon there ever,
was a medicine on earth like Tan-'
lac. I will always bless the day
I bought this medicine."
Tanlac is sold by

LOWER BILLTOWN, D. S. A.
'Tis with trembling hands that
I dash off this epistle.
Days never looked more fright
ful. Troubles never loomed
higher above the horizon. Mexi
co is full of "pizen." She is yet
on a tear. It takes an army to
keep her below the Rio Grande.
And then comes Japan, not
much larger than a cabbace
patch. She is not satisfied with
Uncle Sam. Seems that she
wants to raise sand.
And Germany has mud in his
eyes, keeps "pecking" on Uncle
Sam until he has got about all he
can ' 'stand. " He has told her to
et him alone. He wont take
any more. He is loaded down to
the ground, one more straw will
break the camel's bacK.
It is mighty aggrevating.
Comes very near making me
mad. I was born in the U. S. in
extreme poverty, in a log cabin,
and have never moved. I am
satisfied. I worship the flag, let
the wretch be shot shot on the
spotr that attempts to haul it
down.
I like the national hymns, "A-
menca," "Dixie" and the "Star
Spanglet Banner," and some
times hum a stanza or two. or
hum them through.
Let everything that offends be
cut off. Let her enemies be kill
ed from pole to pole. I'd like to
help. I'd like to kill. I hanker
after blood, but oh, to be killed
then comes the rub. Let the
volunteers do the job. It is not
to my liking. Wipe them off of
he map, but I'll not be at the
a
wippmg.
While opportunity yet knocked
I seized time by the forelock, I
have fled to Zig Zag Hollow.
What matters it if I die unhon
ored and unsung, it is all the
same ten days after I am dead.
Come unto me all ye that love
life and long days. Come tod
dling, come waddling along.
I wish the U. S. well. Long
may the flag wave over the land
of the free and the home of the
brave. Let the volunteers keep
it in the heavens. Oh! gee, shoo
fly, dont bother me, 1 can t naul
you. uo on away from nere.
Don't fret about me.
The Safe Slicker Snake.
P. S. I have the goods. No
thing safer than Zig Zag Hollow.
Hollows of all kinds. Many of
them loop the loop, tie in double
bows and four in hand. Some
are so narrow that a wood chuck
can't open his bill to drive it
down. Deep and rough with
bootlegging twists and moon
shining crooks, where "bone
dry" or dry as a bone will never
be known. Their ends run into
the Sink Hole Farm that lies in
the rear. Now I've got you.
Sink holes standing up, sinkholes
lying down and sitting around.
Sinkholes swallowing sinkholes,
that swallow you down, where
you will never be found. Come
along, come waddling, come tod
dling, come waddling along.
