POPLAR BLUFF GETS
USED TO IT GRADUALLY.
Poplar Bluff, Mo., Feb. 7.—Al
though Poplar Bluff was voted “dry”
at the recent local option election the
drouth will not go into effect here
until July 1, when the entire nation
will come under war-time prohibition.
However, no new saloon licenses
will be issued and by July 1 there will
be but three saloons in the city. As
last as the licenses expire, the saloons
will close.
The Riverside Bar, one of the city’s
most famous drinking places, closed
at midnight tonight, when the license
expired.
The saloons have been doing a |
rushing business during the last few
weeks as the result of the local option
election causing many of the thirsty
ones to fear that their source of sup
ply would be cut off.

TUCKERMAN NEWS.
The death Angel came into the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Eggers,
who live about a mile out of town, and
took from them their little child.
The grief stricken parents have the
sincere sympathy of all.
Tuckerman is at last connected
with the Newport light system. We
now have continual current, both day
and night.
The great volume of business now
being done in Tuckerman demon
strates the wealth of this section of
the county. We have easily reached
our quotas in all the war require
ments, and notwithstanding the pres
ent reverses in cotton prices, our peo
ple still live and prosper. Truly we
have a great country.
The perfect equipment and splendid
arrangement of the Tuckerman Gar
age and Lumber Cohipany, which is
to be installed in the near future
will be a credit to our town and will
fill a much needed want.
W. M. Shaver and his two sons,
Charles and Edwin, are quite sick—
supposed to have the flu for the sec
ond time.
Mrs. Lily K. Tims is reported quite
sick, as is also Mrs. Burhalter and a
few others in our town.
Notes on the garden:
Place—Select a well-drained spot
af ground, as warm natured as pos
sible. It is better to have it on the
south side of some building.
Preparation—Break the soil deep in
the fall or early winter; break ag"in
n early spring, but not so deep as
;he fall breaking. Work the ground
mtil it is thoroughly pulverized. The
• «11 n L rt.il /I winl 1 Anr n/■!
Nearly all seed beds should be raised
'ightly above the ground level, but
io not make high rows for they will
iry out too much and the vegetables
jvill burn during the dry season.
Cultivation — Garden vegetables
ihould be worked shallow. Use gar
len tools. Keep the plow out of the
garden after planting. Cultivate of
,en, especially is it necessary to stir
he soil after rainfall, but do not
vork the ground when it is wet
mough to stick to the garden tool
ised. Work the soil slightly to the
)lant instead of away from it as is
>ften done Do not allow the grass to
'orm a turf about the plant, in fact
lo not allow the grass to exist near
he plant.
Next week you will be told how
md when to plant some of the leading
garden vegetables.

Joe Brown of Beedeville was in

Several farmers are hauling their
cotton home and storing it away. We
can buy cotton cheaper than we can
grow it, so why devote so much time
to it.
If the farmers of this place would
raise more hogs, less dogs, more
food and feedstuff and less cotton we
think they would get along better.
A. B. Gaddis is working for Mr.
