WORST SCHOOL LED STATE.
Story Of How Crazy Mountain Pupils
Won Wild Flower Contest.

Story Of How Crazy Mountain Pupils
Won Wild Flower Contest.
An interesting story of how the chill
dren Of Crazy Mountain schoolhouse
In Montana won first prize and the
blue ribbon for the best collection of
wild flowers, pressed and mounted, at
the state fair at Helena Is told by the
federal bureau of education.
The schoolhouse is just a 10 by II
shack, the bureau says, and is about
as poorly equipped as schoolhouse
could be. The teachers desk Is a
plank nailed to two sticks and set
against the wall for support. The chill
dren have desks discarded as useless
by other schools. and they sit on seats
that are held up by sticks nailed to
the floor or on boxes. Few have books
Despite these handicaps the pupils
set about to win the prize. They
plucked the flowers from the mountain
sides, lowlands and meadows and
placed them In books and magazines.
In the absence of flower press they
sat on the books. After the flowers
had been mounted the collection was
sent to the state fair

REPUBLICANS TO
HAVE MASS MEETING

We, the Republican Executive
Committee Of Cooke County, here
by call mass convention of the
republicans of the county, to meet
at the courthouse in Newport,
Saturday, April 4th, next, at l
O'Clock p. M, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to attend the
state convention to be held at
Nashville, Tenn, April 18th, 1914,
to nominate a candidate for Gov
ernor, Supreme Court Judge and
Railroad Commissioner.
We also desire to again 90 on
record as favoring the nomination
Of Ben w. Hooper, for governor.
We deem it unnecessary, how
ever, to enumerate our reasons
favoring his nomination, as they
have been set out by our commit
tee at a former meeting of the
committee, and are too numerous
to repeat.
We also favor the endorsement
Of Judge Sam C. Williams for the
Supreme Court Judgeship. Judge
Williams has made an excellent re-
cord since he was appointed by
Governor Hooper to this position,
and we, still believing in a nom
partisan Supreme Court hope the
republican state convention will
make no nomination, but endorse
the candidacy oil Judge Williams.

Just this month in Tennessee
the writer saw men cutting corn
stalks and raking them up into
piles to be burned. 1t would have
been quite possible to break down
these stalks with a pole or plank
drag, to cut them up with disk
harrow or a stalk cutter and to
turn them under out of the way
of cultivation with a good pillow.
That would have been real farm
ing; the burning of them was
simple soil-robbing. Southern

ALIENS QUICK TO GET
AMERICAN VIEWPOINT.
Striking illustrations offered by Iowa
College Professor.

Disagreeing with former President
Roosevelt's opinion that there is such
a radical difference between the orien-
tai and occidental types of mind that
America can never assimilate the orr
entails, Professor Edward A. Steiner Of
Grinnell college, Iowa, offers some in
teresting illustrations.

lessor Steiner, 'who was sent here to
be educated as missionary. When
he returned home after a number Of
years In America he was asked to par

asked the presiding clergyman the

Kill the Dogs

The story Of a little child being
bitten by dog supposed to be af-
flicted with rabies should serve
the purpose of arousing the au-
thorities to the necessity Of exter-
minating the stray dogs.
Rabid dogs will become more
frequent as the warm weather
approaches and the danger to lit
tie children will be greatly aug
mented for the reason that they
will soon play on the vacant lots
and in the yards most of the day.
.Hydrophobia is an incurable
disease. The germ travels through
the nervous system to the base Of
the brain, where commissions are
produced and a horrible death
usually follows. The Pasteur
treatment is considered almost an
absolute preventative. It is said
that when administered in time il
almost invariably prohibits the dis
ease. It is harmless and when
ever there is any doubt about the
animal that attacks a child should
be used.
Every dog in Newport, from
the petted poodle to the NANCY
cur is not worth enough to repay
one minute of the distress thai
comes to a parent from this moi
unwarranted apprehension.

The Searchlight would like to
make it too hot for the tax-dodger
and town-hog to find comfortable
feeding grounds hereabout. Of
course we will call no names
everybody knows a hogs a hog,
when they see him feeding from a
trough. Taxation is burden
enough when every fellow hears
his equal share, and it is not right
that the poor man, the owner Of
a cottage, should pay for a castle
or a town farm. Let's have more of
these GreenevilIe farms cut up in
to town lots, or else let them bear
their proper burden of taxation.
Land within the corporate limits
worth 5000 an acre is assessed
at about 800. Shame on such an
outrageous system; say We
Greeneville Searchlight.
Editor Taylor surely must have
heard Of Newport's condition
when he wrote the above for he
certainly is describing a condition
which exists in Newport. We
have heard it said that Newport is
the worst cut UP town Of its size
in the country and there is much
valuable land which should be
within the corporation limits. This
land is growing in value day by
day because it is known thai
some day it will be worth a mini
and yet it is taxed as farm lane
and is lodging corporation taxes
altogether.

When's a Man Drunk

When can a man legally be
called a drunkard? That is the all
absorbing question in the town Of
Tenafly, N. j. The town council
recently created Board of Pro-
tectors," and this board took up
this world-old question with the
result that the names of twenty
citizens were posted to whom al
coholic beverages could not be
sold, says the Washington Post.
The citizens whose names are on
the jag list" have objected, and
there has been a public hearing
to determine the merits of the
order. The conduct of the pro-
tectors was denounced by the
victims as un-American, undemo-
cratic, unfair and too much like
the verdict Of Judge Lynch, with a
public inquiry after the execution.
The point at issue in New Jersey
is how to determine when a man
is really drunk. One of the
victims held that he is not drunk
who from the floor can rise again,
but he is drunk who PROSTATE
lies and who can neither drink
nor rise" The chief protector
preferred that other old definition,
"A man is drunk when he lies
down on the grass and holds on
to keep from falling off the earth. :"
A member of the town council in
sisted that no man was drunk who
could reach his own front porch
and find the keyhole.
The protectors did not reveal
all the methods by which they ar
rived at the all-important decision
in making up the jag list, but
some of the residents suspect that
the pronunciation of the. name of
the place had some part in it.
How do they pronounce Tenafly,
anyway? Andisi it not presumtiye
evidence of intoxication to attempt
to pronounce the name? The
stranger visiting that town would
be almost sure to be placed on the
jag list however he pronounced
the name
