limit to the possible bird population on any given tract must be taken into consideration. When the prob able tenants have been decided upon, the selection of sites is in order, for the site often decides the style of house that is to occupy it. In the final placing of bird houses. care should be taken te have them face away from the winds prevailing in stormy wealth CT The strongly developed homing instincts Of birds can be relied on to attach them to the neighborhood where they first saw the light, and the identical pairs which nest in the houses provided for them one year will often return the next season to enjoy the same bounty and protection.
 The illustration shows one of the best ideas for building bird shelters.

MARYVILLE COLLEGE

Citizens of Maryville should BE-
especially proud of the college
that is located in this town. This
is one of the finest institutions
of learning in the entire South
and the scholarship of its profes.
sors ranks with the leading ed.
vocational institutions of the
country. 1t is an asset that Ma.
ryville could not afford to lose.
Maryvile and Blount county
have their manufacturing indus
tries which are taking the raw
material from the hills and
mountains of East Tennessee and
areturningitinto products which
are shipped to all parts of the
world. It's fame as a manufacture
ing center is co-existent with civ
ilization. Only last week ship
ments of tables made in Mary
vile were consigned to South
American points. Every week,
shipments of furniture, CRATE
bars and other manufactured
products are made, which in
crease the permanency of Mary
vile as a manufacturing center
and helps to extend its fame as
ane Of the leading factory sites
IN the South. These things are
helpful to the town and the coun-
ty, ana unless we had these we
could not have a town.
But in our estimation of values
sometimes we are prone to for
get the most valuable assets be-
caG@&t they An-nat bring qdIUKeo0
returns, or swell our bank ac-
counts most rapidly.
The greatest manufacturing
plant in Maryville is Maryville
College. Here are gathered boys
and girls from nearly every state
in the Union, and from foreign
countries, who are being devel-
oped into leaders. They come
here as raw material and they
go out as finished product so
far as a college education can fin

ish them. And in every part of
the civilized woodland in I'M
civilized parts-we can find
graduates of Maryville College
who are leaders in their respec-
tive professions. These products
are worth more to us than any
others that are sent out.
President Wilson's work as
head of the institution has been
of superior character.
The splendid structures that
crown the hill and comprise the
material makeup of the college
are only material evidence of the
finer building that is constantly
going on within the college halls.
The work has grown so rapidly
that many new buildings have
recently been constructed, and
one tires as he strolls through
the campus and tries to count
the numerous structures now To-
Gated there. With the addition of
new buildings, new departments
of study have been introduced,
and the curriculum expanded,
making the institution larger in
every way.
The college brings to the citi-
zens of the town many treats of
a literary and muscal character.
Of these we cannot be too appre-
ciative. Tuesday evening the
Easter cantata given by the large
chorus was one of the finest mu-
steal renditions ever given in
East Tennessee, and not only re
Elected credit upon the heads Of
the music departments, but upon
the students participating in the
program.
Lyceum numbers of high char
acter, lecture courses, concerts,
contests and all the other pleas
ant features that go to make UP |
the programs of a college year, |
are open to the people of Mary
vile, and are theirs to enjoy.
Maryvlle cannot overestimate
the value of the college to the
town, and we hope it will con-
tinue to grow until it will not
only have 1,000'but several thou
sand pupils.

THOUSANDS OF TAGS
SOLD BY BOY SCOUTS
Washingtonians WayIaid by
Youths in Every Part of City
All Day.

Red tags and blue, each bearing the
trefoil badge of the Boy Scouts OF
America, are fluttering in the spring
breezes in every part of Washington
today, thousands of them having been
sold by the energetic scouts whose or
iginal tag plans were interrupted by
the blizzard of a week ago today.
From till $50 o'clock this morning
the scouts around the Treasury build

enough for the contributors, and
much the same conditions obtained
around the State. War, and Navy
building and other large Government
offices.
A good sale also was reported for
the noon hour and the indications are
that in spite of the loss occasioned by
the storm the scouts will collect
enough to enable them to improve
their fifty-two acre camp site on
Chesapeake bay az originally planned.
Hundreds of boys will have free en-
ltertainment in camp next summer as
a result Of the offer of the local coun-
ell to give a day in camp for every

forty dollars worth. At noon today
one scout had sold ninety dollars

them being automobile tags at n dol
