Savannah is the best location in
West Tennessee for good school.
The town is surrounded by one of
the best farming belts in the state;
no whisky is sold here. There is
more wealth in Savannah than any
town of its size in the state, and
the only thing needed to bring
about permanent boom in affairs
here is a good school. If our
people will take the matter in
hand, enough money can be raised
by private subscription to enceur-
age the building of a $4,000 col

matter, and by next fall the build.

The championship series of the District
Bowling League was opened last night
on the Carroll Institute alleys In the pres
ence of large crowd OF enthusiastic ad-
mirers of the game, and "rooters'' for the
contesting teams which were the CAROLS
and the Saengerbund, the latter the
champions of last season.
The set of games resulted in triple
victory for the CAROLS. and complete
rout of the champions, whose bowling was
not a little affected by hard luck. The
bowling throughout by both teams, not
withstanding the onesidedness of the re-
suit was of a high order. and was mo. c

MILLIONS OF ToADs.
Never So Many Seen in New England
before.
0From the Worcester Gazette.)

From the Worcester Gazette.)
There were never so many toads at the
South End as was seen there this fall.
II is doubtful if there were ever so many
toads in any neighborhood in New Eng
land. and the residents wonder where
they all came from. There are big toads,
and little toads. and toads all the way
between The popular idea is that it has
rained toads as sometimes happens, ac-
cording to the legend. DR.. Hodge. of
Clark University, is to blame for it all.
The doctor discovered. by careful obser-
walton of toads kept in congenial con-
dnement in little pens in his garden,
that toads are humanitarians of the
highest order; that they can get away
with more housefiies than all the artiii-
cial fiytraps in creation. Realizing the
Importance of the reptiles. he placed in
the pens pans of water, in which the
toads deposited their eggs. The eggs
Matched. That is all there is to 1t. The
toadlings fiourished and became fat. slow
hopping toads with lightning tongues that
Tapped in every fly that came within
range.
Any one who has. ever seen the eggs OF
toad will realize what the South End
Is getting in the way of flytraps. DR.
Hodge promises to add several hundred
thousand to the colony in another year
Think of the warty influence thus sent
abroad. A wart or toad ordinance will
be needed, or there will never be a, fly
left to perpetuate the species. The sur
geons of the United States Army should
provide a toad hatchery at every camr
of troops. that the Misunderstanding in
sects may be attacked without mercy
But are toads malaria-proof? May they
not be exterminated by the tainted fly,
The South End must be fortunate in
the matter of flies. Were 1t not for mos
quitoes, screens would soon be unnecessa-
ry. What is wanted now is a nocturna
