tuberculosis.
Des Moines, December 18th. \
recent statement made by the Ma
tional Anti-TuberculOsis Association
reveals the fact that tuberculosis vas
reduced III the decade between 1900
and 1910, 1871 per ccI'. This state
mcnt is most encouraging to the tu-
bcrculoss workers of Iowa and its
truth is confirmed in the great de-
crease from pulmonary tuberculosis
in Iowa in the past two years.
The combat against tuberculosis
in Iowa has become sweeping move
ment. Sunday, December 18th, Tu-
berculosis Day, was observed very
generally throughout the state and
the Red Cross christmas Seal is be-
ing sold everywhere especially in the
larger centcrs of population. The
motion picture houses have secured a
new film, entitled The Pride Of
Human Lives dealing with fake
cures for tuberculosis and thOus-

IDWA'S CORN CROP IL MORE

Although the crops raised in Iowa

DR.. Chapel says the state has pro-
duced full average crop of all soil
products except potatoes. despite the
fact than many adverse conditions

The prevailing high prices account
for the fact that the crops are worth
considerably more this year. The

VISIT FROM
ST. NICHOLAS

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions Of sugarplums danced throug h their
heads;.
And Mama in her kerchief and | in my cap
Had Just settled our brains for long winter S nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such catter
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window | fled like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
knew in moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! and
Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top Of the porch! To the top Of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away, ALL! -
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the s. ky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys and Saint Nicholas too.
And then in twinkling | heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they t1inkled! His dimpes, how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up in bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump Of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath;
He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when he laughed like bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, right jolly old elf,
And laughed when saw him, in spite OF myself.
A wink Of his eye and a twist OF his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk
And laying his finger aside Of his nose
And giving nod up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his Sleigh to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew like the down OF thistle;
But heard him exclaim erehe drove out OF sight,
tMeny Christmas to all, and to all good night"

EVIDENTLY THEY INTEND EN-

WITH THEIR LINES.
NOTHING DEFINITE GIVEN OUT
Representatives Have BEEN Over Con-
ditions With Municipal Authorities
Looking Into the Cost of Lights and
Power.

1t is beginning to be considered
somewhat significant that the Ten
nessee Power Company, which has es-
tablished electric power plants
through Middle Tennessee Thu Ough
the use of electricity generated by
water power from the Caney Fork
and Oconee rivers, are sending their
representatives into this territory
with notable frequency
During the past few months there
have been three or four of these rep
resentatives here, and while they do
not give out anything it has leaked
out that they are taking note of the
surrounding country in every particu-
lar, and it is regarded as having some
bearing on the supplying of lights
and electric power here.
One of these representatives has
been over the light and power cues
ton with the city authorities, irves-
tigating the number of lights in the
city, the possible cost of the same
and the possibility of lighting Mt.
Pleasant and contiguous territory In

CHURCH IS STILL
TREASURY GUARD
SENATOR FROM MAURY MADE
VIGOROUS FIGHT AGAINST =
PETTY GRAFT.

Senator J. w. G. Church, of this
district, is at home for the week end,
the legislature having recessed from
Friday afternoon until Monday at 3
o'clock Squire Church will remain
over Monday to attend the session of
the quarterly court of this county.
Senator Church in his brief service
of a week in the senate has justified
his designation as watch dog of the
treasury" He was one of the three
senators to vote against raid Of S25
per member on the treasury under
the guise of stamps an stationery.
He made a vigorous fight on this
measure and attacked the profgate
expenditure of the peoples money in
scathing terms.
When the measure comes to a vote
in the house both the representatives
from this county, Messrs. Denton and
Long, will also vote against it. They
have stated that they are unalterably
opposed to the appropriation of the
peoples money for any but constitu-
tional purposes.

population, with but only small
fraction above fifty per cent OF the
enrolment in the average daily at
tenance. Or with scholastic popu-
lation of 10,263 there is an average
daily attendance of only 1886.
In the city schools of the county
there is decidedly better condition
shown by the figures, though as a
matter of course the advantages are
superior The enrolment is 2,1S7,
and the average daily attendance is
1,645, or seventy-six per cent of the
enrolment.
1t will be noticed that the average
of the length of the terms in the city
are about twenty days longer than
the country terms and that the cost
of tuition per month in the city is
% cents in excess of that in the ccun-
try.
These figures in recapitulated
form as presented by Superintendent
Graham tell the whole school story
and evedy citizen of the county should
be familiar with them. 1t shows how
much money is spent and where IL is
spent. How many children there are
of schoolable age and how many OF
them are taking advantage of the op.
portunites now that will never come
10 them again.
Prof. Graham is perhaps the hard,
est worker the Office has ever had
and is constantly right up with the
detail work of the Office. He knows
what is being done in every district,
and he not only knows what is being
done, but he knows what is needed
and is always ready to assist the dis
trict, the community and the teacher
to get what is best for the school.
The figures follow:

connection with the line here should
one be established. These reprcsen.
tatives have been very guarded as to
what they give to the public, but the
latter information was given out by
other parties.
That this power company is intend
ing to come into this territory is very
evident from these facts, and should
they do SO, many of the country REQ
pie will be afforded the opportunity
of electric lights and power adsan
tages at the minimum cost.
