GOOD HINT FOR MANY.
Farmer Sets Good Example by Prac.
tiCing to Handle His First
Automobile Skillfully and
Safely.

An exchange tells of farmer who.
after purchasing his first automobile,
trained the thing to obey his will by
running it at mark. He set two
light stakes in the ground six feet
apart and practiced running the auto
between them backwards and for
wards and from various angles with
out touching them. This looks like
the display of good bit of wisdom
on the farmers part, as thereby the
skill gained in manipulating the ma
chine may pull him out of difficulty
without accident later on. Too May
auto drivers get their first practice
in difficult operations in the emer-
gent times and situations, and for
lack of skill, lose their heads, and
dire consequences result.

Waterloo, Ia, Dec. 1.-THE laI

ton as prizes to the growers of the
best corn in county was distributed
here last week, when the officers of
Leavitt & Johnson National banll
paid $1,000 in gold to twenty-three

1925 to Wilma Smoker, the 11-year-
old daughter of Fl. A. Smucker. The
girl also shared 500 among four
others in rank one, club prize. He-
prizes amounted to more than the
prizes won by her father and broth
er. The fourth prize of 500 went
to c. E. Hearst, president of the Crop
improvement association. The other
individual winners shared from $40
to SIS each.
Twelve of the prize winners plant

TOLD PITIFUL STORY.
Young Woman Cut OF Her Hair tt
Pay Rent.

A young woman who cut off her
hair the other day and sold it in or
der to pay her room rent told the
most pitiful of 1aany disheartening
stories related at the emergency en-
ployment bureau conducted in Chica-
go. She gave her name as Mary
Simpson, her age as twenty-five
and was a picture of dependency as
she sat in the waiting room with a
boys knitted cap pulled down to her
ears to cover the short hair. Two
weeks ago she was dismissed from
her place as an Office clerk, which
paid her $3.50 per week. Her small
savings went to buy coat when the
cold weather came. There are hun
dreds of similar cases in Chicago
where the people are starving on
even a bigger scale than the people
of the Belgian country.
Il had my hair cut off to pay the
room rent, which was 81 back" she
said. 81 asked a woman on the
street whose hair was the same col
or as mine if she did not want some
more. She said she would pay me
$3.50 for it. Now that's all gone
but seven cents. My landlady said
she would not trust me any more and
have lived on half pint of crea II
a day, which cost me ten cents day.

SEND $4,000 TO GERMANY.
German Americans of Iowa Will Con-
tribute $4,000 Month.

Muscatine, Ia, Dec. 14.-German-
Lutherans in Iowa have contributes
almost $4,000 to the German Red
Cross relief fund. Rev. j. Haefner,
treasurer of the German Lutheran
synod of Iowa, last week sent to
Count Bernstorff at Washington a
check for $4,000 which represents
the contribution of the synod for the
month of December. During the pre-
vious month a check for $4,000 was
forwarded to the German ambassa-
dor.
Rev. Haefner expects that the
monthly contributions will average
about $4,000 per month until tho
close of the war The money Is
utilized only to alleviate suffering and
cannot be applied to the war fund.

that she ordered it upon the assur-
ance that it was fresh beef, and
would be cooked to order. 1t was
brought to her, she ate it and was
taken violently sick. Investigations
show it was canned stuff The por

presumably, it was part of his bust

If such an action will succeed,
those who are engaged in the bust

they will be compelled to carry in
surance against such law suits and
damages, but, perhaps, also, they
could avoid complications by telling
the truth to their patrons. One ought
to be mulcted for lying in such mat

fresh meat is very malicious lying

THIRTY THREE
BUSHELS AN ACRE
SEVEN THOUSAND BUSHELS OF
WHEAT TWO HUNDRED
TEN ACRES.

Another record wheat yield was
made in Maury county this year when
]. M. Gillian, of the sixth district, on
the noted Polk bottoms, threshed
thirty-three and one-third bushels per
acre from 21O acres. The total yield
was 1000 bushels. This, considering
the large acreage, is most execep-
tional yield, but it is all the more re-
markable when the fact is known
that this wheat was grown on land
that has been in wheat every year
for the past sixteen and this Is the
largest yield that has ever been made
during any year of that time. Mr.
Gillian attributes his remarkable
success to deep plowing He has g
steam disc gang plow and just as
soon as his wheat Is of the land he
begins to turn for the next crop

pares the soil, cultivating the lant

TEACHERS
PRINCIPAL STRUNKARD RESIGNS
Petition Presented to County Court
Asking That School Be Removed

ed Fourteen Reasons.

LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn, July s.
The Lawrence county high school,
which was established some six years
ago and which for the two past years
has ranked as one of the best high
schools in the state, is now in very
precarious condition because the BIZ
BILE is being taught in the building.
]. H. Stribling, one of the most prom
inent and wealthy citizens of the
county, owns the high school build
ing, which is valued at about $4,000,
and he agreed when the high school
was established to let the county use
the building free of charge provided
they would leave to him one room for
a teacher whom he should employ
with his own means to teach the BIZ
BILE daily to whomsoever desired to
take it free of charge. This arrange
ment was agreed to.
Mr.. Stribling, being member of
the Christian church, naturally EN-.
/ ployed a teacher of his faith to teach
the Bible, but the instruction was to
be nonsectarian. With few dissent
ing voices from the ranks of the diff
ferent denominations the school grew
to be one of the first in the state oi
it's kind. According to the state laws
it was unconstitutional for the Bible
to be taught, but the state superin
tendent said that SO long as the peo
pie of Lawrence county consented tt
the plan adopted he would not raise
any objections. At the close of thii
years term, Prof. D. G. Strunkard
who had been principal Of the schoo
from it's beginning, resigned for som,
Ivery vital reasons. This served al
an opening wedge. The spirit Of OF
position to the management had beel
growing, it being claimed that sec
tarianism was being taught in tn
school.
| Yesterday afternoon the matte
was brought to a climax when pet
ton was presented to the count
court asking that the school be r.
moved from the building. The pet
ton contained fourteen reasons VIII
the signers opposed the present maj
! lagement of the school, the main on
being that the Bible was being taugt
in sectarian way.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 6.-The
state board of elections met at 1O:30
this morning for the purpose of COM
pleting the list of county COM
missioners. The meeting was sched-
uled for o'clock, but the long delay
was necessitated by the "non-appear-
ance" of Mr.. King. Mayor Crump
was on hand early and was an inter-
ested onlooker of the proceedings.
In Claiborne county, Mr. King re-
called the appointment of Mr.. Payne
and appointed c. R. Fulton, upon the
recommendation, he said, of the reg
ular state committee
Judge Penland raised the point as
to whether an appointment could be
recalled after the member had been
signed. This precipitated a rather
heated argument. The board allowed
Mr.. King to change his appointment.
After filling the vacancies in sew
eral counties not finished entirely
Saturday, Mr.. King said: Gentle
men, let's take up Shelby county now,
inasmuch as it is the bone of conten-
ton, SO we can get that out of the
way"
Il am opposed to that" said Judge
Penland. Lets continue in alpha
betical order"
Judge Young was also opposed to
changing the program and the regular
order was taken up as follows:
The first county taken up was
Obion. The appointments in William
son county were, for Young, Thomas

After the counties were completed,

ever, said the mail was reliable
enough.
The board then adjourned until aft

ESTIMATE.
ANOTHER MEETING FOR FRIDAY
Choice of Miss Atwood AS Teacher
of Expression Unanimously Rati-

Books Referred to Committee.

At the meeting of the building
committee of the new high school at
the city hall Tuesday night, the bids
were opened by Judge Erwin in the
presence of the committee, the board
of education, Mr.. Gardner, the archi-
tect, and several of the bidders. They
ranged in amount from $4,000 to $7S-
00S.
On account of the absence of the
president and the secretary of the
building committee, who were una.
voidably absent, no formal action was
taken in regard to the acceptance OF
the bids. They were informally dis
cussed for an hour or more, but all
formal action was postponed until
Friday morning at 10 o'clock, when
the building committee will meet
again for consideration of the bids.
In the informal discussion that
took place after the bids were open
ed, it was the concensus of opinion
in the board that they were much too
high, and that If necessary, certain
alterations that would lessen the cost
of the building would have to be
made. 1t was the intention of the
building committee not to spend more
than $4,000 or $4,000. This would
mean a cut Of at least $4,000 from
the lowest bid. Prof Harris will con
suit with Mr.. Gardner, the architect,
and will make report Friday of what
ever alterations can be made in the
building without impairing its efi.
cheney.
The board of education will meet
on Friday morning at II o'clock, just
an hour after the building committee
that any action Of the latter may be
promptly ratified.
