SET STOMACHS FEEL FINE IN

II what you just ate is souring on

the table with a healthy appetite; but,
what will please you most, is that you

IMMENSE TENT
FOR REUNION
CHATT. NOOGA MAKING ExTEN.
SIVE PROVISION FOR COMFORT
OF THE "OlD BOYS"

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 2l-Some
of the cities where Confederate re-
unions have been held in the pas,
experienced trouble in securing a
hall large enough to accommodate
in comfort the reunion bail the
crowning social event of the meet
ing. Chattanooga has hit upon a
novel plan to meet this requirement.
1t has been decided to cover some
thing less thar an acre of ground
in Warner Park, the largest public,
park in the city, with tent, floors
to be OF smooth, and substantial
material, the tent lighted by cleo
ttricity, and give the reunion bail
there.
This tent will accommodate thous
ands of people and be perfect as
a dancing pavilion. No posts will
interfere with the dancers. 1t will
be a model pavilion, large enough
to meet every possible demand. The
committee feels that
this solution of the problem will be
by the visitors.
Warner Park is centrally located,
and can be reached by trolley cars
and automobiles in ten minutes from
the business sections of Chattanooga.
From the center of the residential
section of the city the park can be
reached in five minutes.

HALL RE ELECTED SUPERINTENDENT.

Little Rock, April 9-Col. R. c. Hall has been reelected Su- perintendent of the Public Schools, although it is reported there was a stormy session of the Board and some strong opposi- tion to him
 The finances of the Little Rock Special School district are not in the best condition. The District owes $296, ,000 in bonds, besides $70,0Q0 on personal notes given since December to meet the cir. cult expenses of the schools, the available funds having been ex- hausted Dec. 1. By the last of May, when the schools will close, the District will have anticipated the revenues for next fall by about S13o, ,0O0. The pay roll for the Little Rock Schools is about S14, 800, and the final pay roll in May will amount to $40,000, be cause of the l5 per cent that is with held during the session.
 Plans suggested for the expen- allure of about $60,000 more on buildings and extensions have not met with very general SUD- port on the part of the Board, as it would be necessary to borrow the money.

Our school would not be the largest business training school in America if it was not the best. With our original, copyrighted, Byrne practical business sys. tems and methods, we produce a good book-keeper, stenographer or operator in short time, and place him in a good, paying posi- tion.
 The business world holds out splendid opportunities for those trained to do it's work. Seventy five per cent. of the bank preSi- dents hold their present positions thru their knowledge of book keeping that enabled them to start into their banking work. Andrew Carnegie and many other great financiers started at the telegrapher's key. Ex Senator Wm. E. Mason started as a sten- ographer, as did Geo. B. Cortel- you, now president of the Con- solidated Gas Go. of New York City. Also Wm. Loeb, Jr.. now Collector of the Port of New York.

Agricultural Libraries.

A"A 'i ulSGIlCU ana neigh oorhood should have an apricul. tural library, and weekly meet lngs should be held, at which the books should be read and the subjects discussed by the men and listened to by the children ana especially the boys. The el. ementary text books on agricul- oure should be provided at first, and then other books added from tune to time. The agricultural bulletins are easily obtainable by Writing for them, and could be added to the library.
 Plant life is an interesting sub. Ject to children, and by this ru ral library plan, the children could be taught the elementary principles of plant, life. Many grown men, engaged in farming would find the subject interest ing too. The children know that plants spring from seeds and grow, but they do not know how the plant food is obtained thru the soil, air, sunshine and heat. By learning these things, they will begin to think and study and watch and be interested in plant growth. As plant growth is real. ly the foundation of agriculture. and scientific knowledge of plant growth is the foundation of scien- titic agriculture the importance of teaching the rising generation these things is of the utmost i'm portance.
 The subject of soils is likewise interesting and important. If these libraries were established in the various communities, and some of the men would take the matter in hand and study the subjects closely and then lead the discussions on the subjects at weekly meetings great good would follow. However, it is i'm, portant to begin at the founda- tion, in order that the children may get full benefit. lam great. ly interested in this matter, and will give all the assistance I can to getting these libraries started.
 If we had these agricultural libraries scattered all over the State it would be but a short time until we would have an ele- mentary course taught in our public schools, and that is one of the ends toward which 1 am working. When the people get sufficiently interested, it is sure to follow, and may it's day be hastened.
 I would be glad to hear from anyone interested in the subject of rural agricultural libraries.
