To the Boys and Girls Who Want
to Go to School

Boys and girls, you may think me 4
little bit too bold in trying to give
you advice about going to school, as ]
am just mere school boy.
Now here is what | want to say to
you: am pupil of the Selmer High
School and of course you could not
blame me for asking you to come to
our school; anyway, let me ask you
this question: "Have you any idea of
starting to school% If so, | want to
tell you now that our school is as
good as there is in the county, and a
hearty welcome awaits all who may
choose to enter. The pupils are
friendly, and you can rest assured
that whenever you enter our school
we will take as much interest in you
as we do in any Of the pupils that are
already in school with US. So don't
say l would start if | knew anybody
that is IN school, for that doesn't
matter one bit, if you don't you will
know someone before you are in
school an hour with US. Don't let
anything worry you, but come and
see the work that we are doing.
These few words of unsought ad-
vice | trust will cause you to come
and see for yourself, for our work
will bear inspection. Come join us
and be part of the jolliest and most
progressive band of students in the
State. LAME REEDER

HUGE INVITATION
A Conference of Farmers and
Business Men Early
This Spring
A MEETING FOR The SOUTH
A Great Opportunity For Shortcut
Method of Seeing What Is Best In
Rural Cooperation in the United
States-A Real Getting Together.

Almost everyone who has head the
magazines and newspapers in the last
or so has wished to travel to many
points and learn first-hand what the
leaders in cooperation are doing. or
course, this has been an impossibility
and even if one could make it possible,
there would be no time left for con-
structive work at home. To certain
extent the County Life Conference"
In Louisville, April Z, 8, 8, 10, will
make this a possibility without extern
siye travelling.
Leaders in cooperative movements
from many parts of the South and
from 8innumerable Northern States,
haVS been engaged to tell just what
they have accomplished and how it
was accomplished. They are to tell
their ups" as well as their downs"
IN the cause of cooperation. They
will also be on hand to show exactly
how the work which has been a sue
cess at home can be transplanted to
other neighborhoods. They will bring
with them not only the story, but also
all of the material that is used in their
perfected organizatioe to-day that 1t
may run smoothly.
Enough enthusiasm is sure to be de-
veloped to make orga nizations among
those present certainty This will
be done by these men in the most de-
tailed way possible. The leaders who
come to the Conference should be able
to take the good word home in such
shape that it can be redeveloped and
take root.
If you should wish to better your
own condition, or the condition Of
your state, or the condition of the
whole South, it would be we'll worth
your time and money to come to Louis
vile at this time.
Even If you are not at all anxious
to hear any one of the speakers or see
any of the demonstrations, still it
would be delight to be in crowd
of people who are enthusiastic enough
and devoted enough to come and rub
elbows with other leaders. After all,
there is nothing much better in life
than the glow which comes to all Of
us when we come in contact with "liye
wires" from scattered places over the
whole country.
If you are leader or feel that you
might be leader or hope to be a
leader, make your plans at once and
get the dust off your grip sack that
you may be ready to be with the SPLEEN
did bunch that will talk things over
so tat the South may grow in pros
perity, in farm life, in home life and in
neighborhoods.

Mr.. Editor: Not seeing any arti-
Gle from the country on schools,
will you allow an ignoramus
like myself to express a few thoughts
and suggestions about the same as a
mother sees the advantage for her
little ones. Schools are so much bet
ter now than they were 20 years ago,
and of course our children have a
chance for education here in the
rural districts if the children improve
their time at school. which begins at
the home with their parents. Such is
the case with most Of them, especial
ly little fellows.
tell or teach my children to obey
their teacher, it doesn't cost anything,
that they learn better by so doing,
and above all things, make good use
Of their time while in school, for their
time is needed at home, and they
must not waste it at school; if they
be good students their time is not
wasted. Above all things, observe
with care the lessons taught by our
Great Teacher, which are read and
proclaimed in our Sunday Schools
every Sunday. MOTHER.

February, the Good Roads Club of
Middleton was organized with the fol-
lowing officers: aDr. j. D. Sasser, ST.,

ing the president to communicate
with other towns and community cen
tiers over the county and urge similar
organization for cooperative work.
By the adoption of a resolution to

Two Interesting Facts About
McNairy County
By H. A. Webb, Prof. Of Chemistry
in the West Tenn. Normal
NUMBER Two

McNairy County is paying money to
support the high schools Of other
counties. This county might be re-
ceiving financial aid instead.
One-third of the state tax goes to
schools. Eight per cent of this is set
apart for high schools. By calcula-
tion, the high schools of other coun-
ties receive about $500 per year of
McNairy county's money, while Nc
Marry county gets nothing in return.
When high schools are established,
if buildings are needed. a county is
sues bonds. For running expenses a
tax is levied, l5c being the maximum
allowed by law. The state will give,
out Of its Ugh school fund, one-third
of the amount levied by the county,
but not to exceed $4,000. When
Agriculture and Domestic Science are
offered in a first class manner, the
state will duplicate the amount voted
by the county for this purpose. Over
$4,000 was given to Agricultural
High Schools by the state last year
McNairy county paid part of this
amount but did not get any back.
This county might be receiving be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 a year
toward the maintenance of a first
class high school.
For unto every one that hath shal
be given, but from him that hath

authorized to appoint a committee of
five to take up the matter of select
ing a senator to represent this, the
Twelfth district, with the party au-
thorities of Cannon and DeKalb coun-
ties, and also select an avilable cand-
date for representative from this
county. This committee was instruct
ed to report at the next meeting Of
the executive committee, which will
assemble again March IA.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:
Whereas, the independent demo-
Gratis of the state Of Tennessee, in al
lance with the better element of the
republicans, have fought for prohibi-
ton, law-enforcement. honest cleo
sions, decency, and good government,
with some measure of success, but
said fight is not by any means over.
Whereas, we believe that the
liquor interests, having failed to de-
feat the forces of good government
from in front, and having failed to
entrap them with the 1912 harmony
plan, are now playing dead until after
the election, with the hope that an
other and more insidious harmony"
movement will disrupt that real hor-
mony which rests on common interest
in the welfare of the state; and,
Whereas. Gov. Hooper has proven
himself to be governor of the kind
Tennessee needs, both morally and
materially, and a leader who has
hewed to the line without fear, hest
tation or compromise Of principle;
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
that one dose Of harmony is enough
for US. Harmony in 1912 cost the
cause of good government the legis-
lature of 1918, and brought on a
fight that lasted for more than a
year and almost resulted in turning
the election machinery over to the
liquor forces. We want no more of
it.
BE it further resolved, that Hoop
er is good enough democrat for us.
He has fought the fight and kept the
faith. His work is not done, and we
urge him to again become a candidate
for governor and complete what he
has so ably started.
BE it further resolved, that we
endorse the candidacy Of Judge Sam
C. Williams for the supreme court
He has made record as an able and
fearless judge, and his excellent
years service entities him to place
on the bench.
BE it further resolved, that with
emphasis we commend Maj. E. B.
Stahlman for the successful fight he
is making for the law-abiding citizens
Of Tennessee. Victory abides with
him. We stand Loyalty for Veteran
Stahlman and the Nashville Banner.

Mexico and the Questions

The affairs in Mexico instead
OF looking more favorable for
peace, each, day brings up new
complications. 1t is apparent
that this government made a
break in refusing to acknowledge
Huerta as the de facto president.
1t is necessary to have some head
of real government to COM
,nunicate and deal with under
international law.
Conceding that Huerta was a
murderer, and now occupies the
presidency by virtue of his
bloody removal Of Madero, yet
he was proclaimed president by
congress, who under their consti-
tuition had the power to do so.
When President Wilson said he
would not recognize him as the
head of the government and that
he must step down and out, he
assumed grave responsibility. He
did not vacate, and Mr.. Wilson
must remove him by armed in
tervention or await his good
will. The revolutionists are not
making any Roadway, and never
will capture Torreon or Mexico
City. They cannot defeat an Or
ganiZed army headed by trained
generals, with band of drunken
cut threats ami bandits.
The recent course of Villa and
Carranza shows what they are.
Can this government recognize
them as beligerents? Most GER
tainly not. The Benton affair
shows what they are. That they
are bandits, robbers and murder
ers, no one can gainsay. They
do not posses the first principles
Of patriots in a just cause.
If the Monroe doctrine means
that we are to be responsible for
the acts of such vandals, we say
down with the doctrine. Such is
not the Monroe doctrine. 1t only
proclaimed that this government
would not permit any power to
take by conquest and set up a
monarchy in Latin America.
England, Germany, France or
any other power has a right to
protect their citizens in Mexico
or other South American repub-
lies, even with armed interven-
ton. After peace has been re-
stored, and they claim territory
by conquest and set up a mon
archial form Of government, will
be the time to demand the en-
forcement of the Monroe doc
trine.
All the nations sent to China
armies and battleships to protect
their citizens from outrages a
few years ago. After it was
over and peace restored, China
paid each government a money
sum for their expenses. Why
does not this government invite
all the nations interested in Mex
leo to land such an army on her
soil and blocade her ports, until
they can be overpowered and
peace restored, the cost of the
same to be a debt on the country!
If such a course is not pursued,
we will be compelled to march an
army and fight them to finish.
Not much longer will the Texans
and other border citizens await,
this waiting, milk and cider
course by the president. Some
thing like the Maine will fire the
populace.
