SCHOOL TRANSFORMED
IN SINGLE DAY
Disreputable Building in Tennessee
Rural Section Became One in Which
All Took Pride-How the Ex-
pertinent Was Done.

1t took Just one working day of eight
hours to transform Tennessee Tural
schooIhousc that was in very bad condi-
tion into building of which any com
munity would be proud. What was ac-
complished in this instance by com
munity cooperation could be carried
out effectively by any county superin-
tendent, teacher, or school Improvement
association.
This unique and practical demonstra-
tion in public-school improvement was
engineered by Prof. ID. Riley Haworth,
of the East Tennessee state normal
school. Prof. Haworth first secured the
cooperation of the county board of edu-
cation of McMinn county, in which the
demonstration was carried out He also
secured the cooperation of the public
school teachers of the county and OF the
patrons of the Neil school, the plan
being to show what any neighborhood
can do in one day by united action in
the improvement of school buildings and
grounds.
A band of teachers, school patrons,
and normal school students, marched
out to the Neil school early in the
morning to begin operations. An official
photographer was taken along; he made
photographs of the school grounds, the
building, and interior at 8 p. m. before
thre days work began, and again at 4
y. M when the days work was com
pleted. The 'before" and "sfter" pic
lures made it look as if miracle had
take place.
The building at s a. III, was in as dis
reputable condition as il could be and
still be used for school purposes. The
workers were armed with shovels,. hoes,
axes, carpenters tools, paint, white
wash, and soap. They nailed on new
boards where they were needed, painted
the building, built chimney, cleaned
up the rubbish, scrubbed the floor, reno
waited the entire interior, constructed
bookcase for the teacher. tinted the
walls pearl-gray color, and hung pic
lures. The old desks were removed and
new desks, supplied by the school dis
trict, were placed in the building.
The outlay aggregated, in cash, S33. 1t
included ~ gallons of paint, 8 gallons
of linseed oil, paint brushes, u bushel
of whitewash, SO worth of weather
boarding and lathing, pounds of nails,
window shades, material for sash cur
tains, 4 pictures, number of books to
start a school library, and one American
flag When the work was completed the
building presented as attractive an APP
pearance as the best one-room country
schools.
One of the most delightful features of
the day was the social enjoyment that
resulted from the gathering together Of
such large group of workers. At noon
a picnic dinner was served by people in
the neighborhood of the school. It is
planned to repeat the demonstration in
many other parts of the state.

STAHL REFUSED OFFER.
To Manage Brooklyn as He Decides to
Stick to Banking.

j. Garland Stahl will not be signed to
manage the Brooklyn Federals. Robert
B. Ward, president OF the new club at
Washington park, made this positive
statement when he, arrived here from
Chicago Sunday. He said that he had
tried to get Stahl, but that the. latter
decided to stick to his banking business
in the Windy city. President Ward
when asked about conditions in Brook
Ign replied:
'We have signed Pitcher Tom Seaton
and First Baseman Artie Holman, but
the question of team manager has not
ben settled. / will have talk with my
partners ON this topic in day or two.
The Federal league will hold meeting
in Chicago next Saturday, when the
players signed will be distributed among
the eight clubs. We expect to have a
strong team.
'The Brooklyn Feds will not be sched-
uled to play at Washington park before
May !. That will gives ample time to
put our new park in shape, in spite of
many great obstacles. / am well sat
isfied with the financial strength of all
our clubs and as soon as we get under

are here to stay.

A Country of Mud.

Our country is a country of mud. Our
roads are no roads. They are ruts,
holes, stones, sand--disgraees. Our So
called, badly miscalled roads impoverisb
our farms, send our farmers to the
city, keep our children ignorant, put
our girls on the streets in search of
the pleasure they cannot find in the iso-
lstion of the farm, cut off from human
intercourse by reason of impossible
roads. Our children cannot go TO school
when the roads are bad. Only when
rural roads are good are rural schools
well attended We have the greatest
railroad mileage, the greatest telephone
mileage of any country in the world.
In our roads we have the biggest OPP
portunity--and the worst conditions
IN the world.-Suburban Life-The
Countryside Magazine for February.

A REAL NERVE AND
B0DY-DUILDInG MEDICINE

We believe Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion
is the best remedy made for toning the
nerves, enriching the blood, building up
wasted tissues, renewing health, strength
and energy--the best medicine you can
use if you are run down, tired out, nerv-
GUS mad debilitated, no matter what the
cause. 1t doesn't depend for its good
effect upon alcohol or habit-forming
drugs, because il contains none. 1t may
not make you feel better in few hours,
but IL viii make you feel better, we are
sure, Just as soon as the tonic and food
properties il contains have a chance to
get into the blood, and, through the
blood, into the rest of the system. Pure
olive oil and the hypophosphites have
long been endorsed by successful physi-
clans, but here, for the first time, they
are combined into one preparation which,
as nerve.food and builder of strength
and health, we believe, has no equal.
If you don't feel well, begin taking
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion to-day, and
build your health and strengthen your
system against more serious illness. To
conyaleseents, old people, puny children
and all others who are weak, run down
or ailiDg, we offer Rexall Olive Oil Emul
sion with our personal promise that, if
it doesn't make you well and strong

nor even recommend IL to you. We are
sure that once you have used il you will
recommend it to your friends, and thank
US for having recommended il to YOU.

VERY GOOD JUDGMENT.

When the Grocers and Butchers Association was formed, and the mat ter of utilization with d major organ ization was considered, the grocers and butchers decided to tie neither to the Business Mems League or to the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce but to wait until it could be deter mined which of these latter organiza. tiQns would prove the most beneficial. to the grocers and butchers.
 lnasmuch as the other various lines Of business men are to organize sep. arately in time, here is quite an in. centive for the oder organizations to strive for in the matter of supremacy,
 The merchants will go to that or ganization which gives them the ad- vantage of a local credit bureau, and the local credit bureau carries with II lHiblltdlioh OH bItullS III OlHcl cities of the state.
 Merchants of Hot Springs lose thousands of dollars every year through bad credits People who pay their bills must carry the weight of those who do not. If merchant has to figure on a large sum lost in bad hhls" he must of necessity put his margins of profit higher to cover that loss, and the man who pays promptly meets the additional expense.
 Some time ago when a credit bu. reau as an adjunct to our commercial organization, was suggested, it was said: You cant do it; it will ruin the organization"
 If eliminating the bad pay" of a community from the good pay will ruin anything except the bad pay credit, the purpose has not been served.
