the stories are mentioned instead Of the

other way to indicate the amount. -Four

County High School.

A proposition has been made for the
consideration of the County Court at its
april term, whereby the city OF Union
City agrees to pay from its school tax
an annual sum OF $500 and the State
81 800 contingent upon an annual APP
preparation OF 81. 900 from the county.
for the purpose of creating county
high school in Number Thirteen, with
corps of teachers to instruct in the
high school branches in connection with
the city schools, and which is to be free
to all students in the county eligible TO
the high school courses. Every boy
and girl in the county, who is prepared
for admission to the high school, is to
be admitted free. This proposition was
recently made through the efforts Of
Judge Kenney, who is to be congat-
ulated.
Now, as The Commercial suggested
some time ago, If this proposition is
looked upon favorably by the County
Court, county school board will have
to be named, and boarding quarters
win have to be provided for the pupils.
There should be dormitory and mess
hall, where the county high school pu-
pills can be taken care OF at reasonable
prices. II the city cannot pay for such
quarters they should be leased and ex-
empt from taxation and water and light
bills. Union City, Obion County nor
any other locality can expect to run a
boarding school successfully where the
pupils are taxed $40 month for board.
1t cannot be done and we might as well
get wise to the fact.
This proposition is one OF the best
that has been made for the education
OF the young people OF the county. It
would give the county free high school
at nominal cost compared to the estab-
lishment OF seven or eight schools in
the county which would prove no greater
advantage except to those close by and
would cost infinitely more. The county
could pay this amount in quarterly i'm
stallments and thus be giving their sons
and daughters the best school advanta-
ges without sending them away from
the county.
And while this is a fact Union City
and Number Thirteen should prepare for
their accommodation with good board
and lodging Unreasonable charges. This
cannot be done except in dormitory
quarters under one head, where whole
sale rates in the expenditures can be
obtained.
We have urged this all along and i
it is not plain now it will be later when
the loss is estimated.

A VICTORIOUS WAR.

The European war concerns every
American citizen. Nobody knows
which side will win. We know that we
are not responsible for the terrible
struggle. Our national feeling is one
of profound sympathy with the suf-
ferers, regardless of their nationality,
because they are human, and thou
sands of us are related to them by
blood. Indeed, in a large sense, they
are all our brothers. In recognition
of that fact it is our privilege and op-
portunity to do whatever we properly
may toward restoring the essentials of
ordered life after the conflict shall
have ceased. This is the purely hu-
man side of the case. There is an
other.
1t is inevitable that the United
States should, in a commercial sense,
be the beneficiary of the war. This is
an accident which we as the friends of
mankind deplore, but which as a ma
tion of producers we are compelled to
regard as an extraordinary opportun-
ity for the expansion of our productive
industries. Eventually America will
be the overwhelming victor, because,
with her vast resources and uninter-
rupted activity, she will be required
to assume the foremost rank as the
worlds provider. This is a decree Of
the fates; our hands are clean; we
shall profit legitimately, fairly and
abundantly not because of our designs
but because of our position and re-
sources.
Pending the settlement that cannot
be long deferred, our business is to
build up and proportion our own in
dustries, so that we may be prepared
to accept our responsible position as
a producer of the commodities which
millions of people will expect US to
offer Such action will reward the
world in general and us in particular.
Our first step should be fundamental;
agriculture is our basal industry. At
present it is unbalanced, one-sided and
unstable. 1t lacks meat, milk and
wool. 1t has run largely to starch, and
is deficient in protein. 1t is like a
sandwich inadequately buttered or
poorly chinked with meat. A self
sustaining agriculture is economically
impossible without live stock popu-
lation sufficient to balance it.
1t is considerations like these that
are fixing the alert eyes of thousands
of farmers and stockmen and their
families in all parts of the country
upon a forthcoming event in Chicago:
1t is the international Live Stock Elk
position, which will occur Nov. % to
Dec. and an event so important that
no one interested in live stock can af-
ford to miss.
