COUNCIL TURNS
DOWN SCHOOLS

WV OVxxVVAO
Lambertville's City Council in
returning the Board of Education's
communication asking for an appro-
priation of $4,000 for alterations
and repairs to the local school build
ings, at Mondays meetings will de-
lay the work for some time, ap-
parently.
The application stated that the
Board of Estimate had received from
the school board tn following

pairs on the high school, 500; IL
brary books required by state 5000;
equipment of science department,
$500; incidentals, 500; architects
$4,000.
1t was stated, in council, that
this report was. incorrect, as the
board also recommended the adding
of new rooms to the First Ward
School at cost of SIS, 900, and the
report was not accepted, but re-
turned to the school board for cor
rection.
State Commissioner of Education
Calvin N. Kendall would have to
approve the plans before the council
could take any action, City Solicitor
Lambert H. Sergeant said.
Street Commissioner Banchoff has
been directed by the city council to
NOW the weeds on Cherry street.
Main street, between York and
Bridge streets, is to be resurfaced.
City Recorder Larson stated that

and has made an up-to-date and profit
able farm out of what was originally
declared to be poor land. For instance
he now has 20 acres in alfalfa which
averages four cuttings each year with
one ton per acre for each cutting. One
field of three acres which has already
been cut twice this year is now feeding
so hogs and supplying all the food they
need. He also has splendid corn crop
which was planted after crimson clover
had been turned under after the first
cut, nd then followed with four tons
of crushed limestone to the acre. He
has another field where he has turned
green crop of rye, and put in red
clover as an experiment. Another
field of "white" soil which was wet
land, has been drained with tile and
sowed in peas. These will be turned
under peas and all-and he says the
color of the soil will be changed, and
the land will be capable of producing
alfalfa.
Mr.. Grizzard also has a silo. He
paid for it in one year. He put it up
in one day and filled it the next. Then
he went out and bought Is head of
steers which he fed on silage and
shredded corn for 80 days. He sold the
steers for S65 head-and he paid $33
a head for them.
He has already sold $500 worth of
alfalfa off two cuttings in one field, and
says he will have three more cuttings,
The cost of preparing his ground, in
cluding labor, limestone, seeding. etc.,
was 500 an acre.
These are some Of the results Of
applied intelligence" and shows what
may be accomplished by any farmer in
Tennessee, for Mr.. Grizzard had not
been on farm since he was Is year
old until he located at Cowan and began
sending for the bulletins issued by the
University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
He also operates hotel at Cowan and
supplies his house with vegetables
raised on little truck patch on his
farm.

Applied Intelligence.

According to Commissioner Of Agri-
culture H. X. Bryson. applied intel

will make for a decided improvement
in farm conditions. Mr.. Bryson is lend.
ing his hearty support to. and is coop
Grating with, the work of the University
Of Tennessee Experiment Station, and
cooperating also with the activities to-
ward better farming conditions and
improved live stock by the Nashville.
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway.
A very interesting example of what
applied intelligence will do is shown on
the lOO-acre farm of Mr.. T. NJ. Grizzard
in Franklin county, near Cowan. Mr..
Grizzard has followed to the letter the
directions and advice given out by DR..
II. A. Morgan Of the agricultural
college of the University of Tennessee.

Sam P. Crawford for Tax AS.
SCISSOR.

In another column Of this issue of
The Falcon is the authorized announce
ment of Sam P. Crawford of the four
teenth district as q candidate for tax
assessor Of Fayette county, subject to
the action of the democratic party. Mr..
Crawford does not need an introduction
to the democratic voters of this county.
He was born and reared In the Williston
vicinity and has lived there all his life
devoting his time to farming in which
he has been successful. He has been
several times elected constable Of his
district, being reelected at the last
August election. He is the road con.
tractor for his district and was one of
the few who was neither censured nor
refused his full pay when the county
court made several cuts In contractor s
pay last January. He has been a
deputy assessor several times, and dur
ing the past few months assessed the
taxes in several of the districts of the
county. In all of these duties, both
private and public, he has proven both
capable and jealous and entirely worthy
of the trust that his people have impos-
ed in him.
With the experience he has had in
assessing taxes he would go into the
work, if elected, with a degree Of
qualification seldom seen in a new
official. He is young man, and as
stated above has been faithful to res
possibilities and duties that have fallen
to bis lot in life. and If elected assessor
there is every assurance that he would
perform every duty with faithfulness
and credit.

ARITHMETIC!

Take the advanced book Of our adopt

My observation is that much of our

imperfect grasp of the language Of the

first and read carefully every thing in
our advanced Arithmetic through page
26 for the weeks lesson. Look out for
every thing in black type and italics.
Work every exercise -thereaFe none too
easy to work. Study the two methods

Crawford published in a recent issue o
The Falcon.
There have been nonew development
in the county race for trustee, register
sheriff and assessor since the last issue
of The Falcon. further than that, al
that time there was no one in the coun-
ty who was known to be determined on
making the race for assessor. 1t now
seems that there will be two or three
candidates for this Office before the
primary when it is called, tho no one
has authorized The Falcon to say that
he is candidate. The entries in the
races for the other three offices stand
as they were when they were mention
ed in these columns two weeks ago,
Indications are that the primary will
be held the latter part of October, that
date seeming to be favored by a ma
jority of the candidates who are known
to be in the races for the several offices
mentioned.
j. A. Morton, present assessor, was
in Somerville on Tuesday and informed
The Falcon that he would be a candi-
date for reelection. proving the rumor
afoat last week to the contrary was
not we'll grounded. Rumor has it now
that he will be opposed by S. P. Craw-
ford of the fourteenth district and H.
L. Maddox Of the first.

Little Mary Shaw Called by
Death.

Another Somervile home was bowed
in sorrow on last Friday when at an
early hour one of its precious inmates
was called to a brighter and better
home in heaven. Little Mary Shaw,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. H. S. Shaw,
born four years ago last May, lived a
beautiful and happy life Of four years
and gave much joy and happiness to her
parents and other loved ones, and by
her sweet and lovable disposition won
the esteem Of all who knew her, was
stricken recently with scarlet fever and
after days of suffering, was called by
her Heavenly Father on last Friday to
come up higher to dwell with God and
the angels, never again to suffer in
mind or body.
Assurance Is given thruout Cod 8
word of the safety Of salvation to little
children, and in this assurance the be-
reaved parents and brothers and sisters
of Little Mary can find consolation and
comfort. They well know where they
may find that precious spirit when their
several courses on earth have been run,
and with each day for them here they
will have beacon light to lead then
toward the same heavenly home.

have learned to overcome the danger

and are never bothered by this pest.
One obserYent planter noticed that the

He went to town, got some wooden

and put one under each melon, and the
thing was done. He told his neighbors
and now they are never bothered with
them. So far so good, but there is not
