clTYs CLAIMS FOR THE
1914 REUNION.

NASHVILLE Tenn, May PA
concerted effcrt by the industrial bu-
reau, board c1 trade and business
mems association is being made to
bring the 1914 reunion of the Confed-
crate Veterans to Nashville. A joint
meeting OF &C mmittees from these
three organinzo tons was held yester-
day afternoon to take mp the matter
of sending strong delegation to
Chattanooga tc bring back lext
years conv/.tion.
Strong invitations have been cent
from the Coy vernon, Mayor Howse
and the commercial organizations.
Jacksonville, Florida, and Houston,
Texas, are the other two cities most
prominently III entioned for the 1914
reunion, but over these Nashville
seems to have many points of advant-
age. No reunion was ever held at
Jacksonville nut it is urged by Nash
VILE booSeers that that city is situat-
ed too far to the South, while Hous-
ton is too far to the southwest.
Nash Vile on the other hand is cen
trally located and looks to be win
Iner.

VOCATIONAL COURSE
WILL Be ;ADDED TO
HIGH SCHOOL WORK
HIGH SCHOOL BOARD TAKES
STEP TO THAT END IN SEES
SIGN TUESDAY.
APPROPRI ALTON is MADE
A Commercial. Manual Arts and Do
mestic Science Course viii Be
Added and Maintained for the Com.
ing Year.

The longest stride toward progress
sive and practical education ever
taken in MaLIy county was that OF
the action of the high school board
Tuesday VIXEN it adopted measures
for a vocational department for the
High School IN Columbia for the COM
ing session.
The state supplements dollar for
dollar all money raised for this rur-
pose by the local authorities, and the
High School board made an appro-
priation of $3.50, the city added
$3.50, making a total of $1,50O. The
state will supplement this with an
other $1,000, making total of $4,000
for the new department, and there
will be added commercial course,
manual arts course, and a domestic
science course
This will nccessitate the employ
ment of at least two more teachers
and the securing and equipping OF a
suitable building for these addition
al courses. The building and equip
ment will De furnished by the city.
This is distinct victory for Super
intendent Graham and his friends
who stood for this practical feature
OF the public school eduaction. There
was considerable discussion by the
board before any positive action was
taken, but on the final test the board
was unanimous for~the proposition. I

sitting of the board for the mainte.

ant.
There was IN application from San
ia Fe for the establishment of a high
school at that place, but the board
could not consider it favorably on ac-
count OF lack of funds with which
y ~
to maintain 1t.
The vocational feature of the high
schools of the state are proving by
far the most practical and popular
wherever they have been introduced.
It will fit the boys end girls Of the
present day fo> the practical side of
life, and will give them the advant-
ages that those who attend the pub
lie schools need and must have. The
Maury county board is made up of
the best business men and the most
practical of the citizenship, and they
act only when they are convinced
that the action is not only the best
for all concerned, but that it can be
maintained and no backward steps
will have to be taken.

The exercises were unusually in
teresting and the papers, the era
ltions and the essays of the young
men who completed the course were
most excellent and were received
with the most spontaneous applause.
1t was evident from the exercises

splendid work: that in spite of the
lmisfortunes during the session of the
school, that tie cadets who had re-
mained had spent most profitable
year.
The exercises were held in the

beautifully decorated in spring flow

HILLY PASTURES FOR SHEEP
Low Wet Ground Is Conductive to
Foot Rot-Feet Should Be Ex-
smined and Hoof Trimmed.

The sheep is a highland animal by
nature. Low wet ground is injurious
to its feet. The Sleeps toes are very
flexible. Between the toes of each
foot is an oil duct, which pours oil
between the toes so as to reduce fric-
ton. In low, soft ground the mud
squeezes between the toes and clogs
this duct. The toes will spread quite
far apart and so easily that the plate
OF mud accumulates and hardens and
irritation is set up which results in
pus formation that finally sloughs off
the hoofs if not cured OF course this
does not happen every time sheep
gets muddy feet. But if compelled to
live in mud, there comes time when
the mud lodges with injurious results
We are not sure that foot rot is
bacterial disease. 1t may be SO. Sure
ly bacterial infection could readily
enter after the Inflammation becomes
chronic. Sheep have little resisting
power over their enemies so a little
ailment does great damage.
When your sheep get 10 limping or
walking stiff, examine the feet 1t
may be they only need their hoofs
trimmed. If dry mud is between the
toes, clean it out and rub a little
grease between the toes. Then see
that they have a clean dry place
where no mud exists. Give your
sheep the billy pastures and not the
low land.
