JANUARY OPENING A
RECORD BREAKER

From the great number of letters we
have received from prospective stu
dents, stating they will be with us on
January first, our January enrolment
will be a record breaker We have au-
ranged, however, 10 handle this large
number OF new enrollments with per
feet satisfacti t1 all. Our work be
ing practically all taught on the plan
Of learn to do by doing and through in
dlvidual instruction, enables US to
handle any number Of pew students
enrolling at any time. This plan also
enables us to give each student the
very work ne needs and push him as
fast as his ability VIII permit a
slow student Is not 7ver crowded try
ing to keep up with fast students. and
fast students are not discouraged and
held back en- account Of the slower
and most deficient ones. There is no
other school IN tais c-untry that
comes 50 nearly meeting the Individual
demands OF each and every student as
we do This is one reason why prac
tlcally all of ON etudents finish theil

A VALENTINE DANCE.
BY A. B. lie MASSENA.

a LICE always arose very carly on
A ST. Valentines Day. To her
n N mind it was just as important
"a day as Christmas or the Fourth of
July or Thanksgiving. She had already
prepared many tokens of love to send to
her friends, and she could not bring
herself to lie abed and perhaps miss the
first call of the postman on his morn
ing rounds. He was almost certain to
hand her several pretty valentines from
out of the well-filled mail bag he car
ried.
This day was no exception to the rule.
Sure enough, the first mail brought her
three very pretty ones. From Aunt
Margaret was written on the first one
she opored her little playmate, Betty
had sent a large affair, all covered over
with true lovers knots and hearts and
roses, while Sylvia's contribution pic
tured old st. Valentine himself distrib-
uting love messages to the happy chill
dren who remembered to celebrate his
anniversary.
All day long Alice was kept busy
answering the doorbell. She never re-
mcmbercd having received so many
valentines before in her life. They
came in oil shapes and sizes. and even
a comical one was among the number.
When ii came time for bed it was a
tired little girl indeed who said good
night to mamma and papa. She nad
Insisted upon taking her valentines
with her and they were all clasped
tightly in her hands when she finally
dropped OF to sleep. Then the stranG-
est thing happened. 1t seemed to Alice
that one by one the valentines slipped
from her hngers and dropped to the
floor. No sooner had they done 50 than
they began to have heads and arms
and legs. Alice was very much sur
prised at this and leaned over the side
of the bed to gain a closer view, for
they were Row cutting up in the queer
est fashion. running after each other
and playing a game that very n1Gcn

had pictures OF violin and a harp on
them, and these suddenly climbed upon
a chair and began to play the most

lives depended upon IT, The arrow

Alice could stand it no longer, she
jumped out OF bed and joined in the
dance and was accorded such a wc.-
corne by the revelers that they would
not let her leave the party until the
dawn began to show through the win

BEAR TRAP SET FOR OFFICERS
Surprise for Deputy Marshals in the
Tennessee Mountains.

The gaping jaws of a bear trap is
what confronted Deputy United States
Marshal John Blankenship, Deputy
Marshal George Sharp and others
when they made a raid the other
night into the mountains Of Blount
county.
In the posse we're the two deputies
mentioned and Deputy Revenue Col
lector j. s. Remine. They left this
city and went to the North Carolina
line, and there located a distillery al.
legged to have been owned and oper-
ated by Uncle Sam Burchfeld. 1t
was In the fastness of the mountain,
and as the officers we're just on the
point Of leaping from the roof into
the little house Messrs. Blankenship
and Sharp spied the bear trap, and
crawled back.
They were both on the point of
leaping down at the same time, and
had they done so they would have
been instantly caught In the trap. The
trap is said to have been one Of the
largest ever seen in the mountains Of
East Tennessee.
Burchfeld had escaped, but IL Ia

AIDS CHICoRN INDUSTRY.
United States Government Seeks to In
tereSt Earrners in lie EIltIM,tinn

An increasing demand for Chicury as a
coffee addition has caused the United
States Government to make u special ef-
fort to induce American farmers to grow
the plant. tSee Bulletin IL, U. s. Depart
ment of AgriCulture.l
Chlcory Is Il root gown something like
the beet or carrot, ami has been used as a
food IN various way for centuries.
More than Il hundred years ago during
the NapOleoniC wars, the continent of Eu-
rope was cut off from the outside world,
and coffee, of which the Dutch in ~partiCu-
lar are very fond, became scarce and
high in price,
II was found that the chIcory root,
dried, roasted and ground. made a most
excellent substitute. Soon many were
drinking 1t entirely, while others mixed
II with a certain proportion Of genuine
coffee.
These people found that II gave the
coffee a richer. fuller flavor, and that the
injurious effects which pure coffee has on
many were entirely overcome.
Since then chicory has been extensively
used by coffee merchants, and the prep
aratiOn OF II as an addition TO coffee
has become a large business, giving en-
ploynent to thousands of men. Many
large factories in Europe and several in
America are manufacturing thousands of
tons annually.
Being as necessary an addition to cof-
fee, as salt liz to soup, Chicory has come
into great demand, and to supply this de-
mand the government IL interesting itself.
1t promises an entirely new and profit
able field Of endeayor for the American
farmer.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which Il May Be identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, it is
easy to tell II the paint used was made
Of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What n wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before il
and the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way In which
genuine White Lead may be positive.

fake White Lead before you spend a

pure White Lead will r~esolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con

ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow,

easy for you to perform the expert
