RURAL CARRIER
EXAMINATION

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an
examination for the country for
the county of Blount, Tenn, to
be held at Maryville on July 10,
1915, to fill the position of rural
carrier at Townsend and vacan-
cies that may later occur on rural
routes from other post Offices in
the aforementioned county.
The examination will be open
only to male citizens who are
actually domiciled in the territory
OF a post Office in the county and
who meet the other requirements
set forth in Form No. 1877.

Mr.. Grigg, of johnson city,
representing the department of
justice of the United States,
spent some time in Maryville
last week examining records of
ownership of the large tract of
l.. nd which the government hopes
to secure for a national reserve.
r. Grigg has been in the en-
I 10y of the government several
J cars, and is perhaps more con-
' N.rsant with the reserve situation
u.at any other man in East Tenn
'e.see.
Some of the land which it is
proposed shall be included in
tie reserve lies in Blount county.
Just when the perfecting of re-
cords will be completed, so that
tie development of the tract by
the government can begin, is not
known. Records must be abso-
lutely correct. 1t is found that
in former days, when land was
not so valuable, there was care
ILssness on the part of owners as
TO the regeristering of deeds,
and now the government is hav-
Ing trouble getting clear titles to
the land. 1--WE can find the own
crs, but there are many own
ers, 3" said Mr.. Grigg, laughingly,
when asked if owners could not
be located.

OO1All W. Slc1 hJ SchoAlCL VI CllO
Bank of Blount county; Henry
Duncan, of the agricultural de-
partment of the University of
Tennessee, and a Maryvillian;
Prof. F. L. Profitt, treasurer of
Maryville college; James Walker,
of Walker George & Co., and
Floyd Howard, we'll known
farmer, have been named as a
committee to sell stock in the
Blount County fair association.
The shares will be sold at $100
each.
The committee was named by
J. A. Cox, president of the Board
of trade, last Saturday afternoon.
All members are prominent busi-
ness men, and are well known
and popular throughout the
county. They are interested in
the fair project, and will spend
much time in the solicitation of
subscriptions for stock.
The selection of the site for the
fair VIII be made BY the stock
holders, after the stock shall
have been disposed of
A mass meeting in the interest
of the fair project was held at
the court house Tuesday after
noon at l o'clock. 1t was largely
attended. However, very few
farmers were present, as they
were taking advantage of the
good weather to look after their
crops. J. A. Cox, president of
the Board of Trade presided.
Judge S. C. Brown allowed the
board an hour previous to the
convening of the court, to discuss
the project.
The first speaker was Henry
R. Duncan, a member of the fair
committee. Mr.. Duncan related
the history of the fairs origin,
and said that no county in East
Tennessee is better adapted to
live stock raising and farming
than is Blount county. He
asserted that farmers and live
stock men from other states are
already coming to Blount county
to examine and buy stock and
get ideas as to farming, and that
with the establishment and open
ing of a fair here, the standard
of the live stock would be raised,
better grains and grasses would
be produced, and the farmers
would get larger returns from
their labors. He urged the
farmers to get into the association
and strive with each other to
develop the best possible stock
and other farm products.
NJ. H. Gamble said that there
is no greater incentive to trying
to do better, than by comparing
our own efforts with those of
others who are doing just a little
bit better than we are. He
asserted that if a farmer raises
a good Holstein or other COW,
and that COW is exhibited at the
county fair, other farmers will
observe that it pays to raise the
best grade of live stock, and that
this rivalry will produce a better
grade of cows. It's the same
way with hogs, horses, poultry
and grains, he said, and urged
that the farmers get into the
game and help make the fair a
success. "Blount county is pri-.

marily an agricultural county,
and we must make our farms
and live stock better" he con-
cluded.
MIR. Cox said he wanted the
farmers to express themselves
concerning the project and said
he would call upon a real far
mer." He then called upon John
Hitch to speak. Mr.. Hitch made
an excellent talk. He said that
upon the success of the farmers
depends the success of all busi-
ness, and nothing, he asserted,
will benefit the farmer more than
a county fair, where farmers can
get inspiration and new ideas by
seeing and hearing what other
farmers are doing and how they
do it. He put his approval upon
the fair, and spoke of the splend-
i'd possibilities for live stock rais-
ing and development. But farm
ers must see and know what 9TH
ers are doing, and the fair will
afford US this opportunity, said
he. Unless we mix with
others we'll dry up on our own
premises, +" concluded Mr.. Hitch,
who subscribed for the &rsst share
OF stock.
j. w. Fisher, president of the
Schlosser Leather Co., and whose
home is in Cooke county, was
asked to speak. He asserted
that he is a. gentleman farmer.
He owns big farm, but employs
another to work. However, he
stated that he is now harvesting
125 acres of wheat which will
, average not less than 80 bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Fisher said that
since the first county fair was
held in Cooke county the grade
of the live stock has been better
ed 100 per cent, and farming in
general, he said, has been i'm
proved 500 per cent. Soil is bet
ter titled, larger crops are pro-
duced, better satisfaction comes
to the farmer, the countyis more
attractive, and every body is
helped. He urged that all farm
ers get into the fair, and not
allow only a few to reap the
benefits which can and should
come to all. THE farmer in the
a0untain cove may have as fine
a calf as the farmer who owns
the river bottom" he said, and
that farmers should have the
same privilege of exhibiting his
calf in the fair, and an equal
chance at the prize" ="
Mr.. Fisher further stated that
the county fair tends to broaden
the farmer. He learns more
about his neighbors, he learns
more about politics, education,
tax rating, etc., as we'll as more
/ about agriculture, all of which is
essential to the farmer and tax
payer.
John M. Clark, a member of
the committee, said that it has
been found necessary to raise
500, 600 to make the fair a success,
and 200 shares of $100 each will
be sold throughout the county.
He said the committee wants the
farmers to take more than half
of this, though he asserted the
business men would be glad to
get a half or more. Farmers
will be visited and subscriptions
solicited. None will be asked to
take more than one share, but
those who feel they cannot take
one share can take one-half share.
The first half of the amount will
be paid August l, and the balance
when called for.

VINEYARD Of FRANCE
RAYAGED BY BATTLES
Champagne District Before the War
Was Smiling Land of
Plenty.

"Fruitfulness. splendid order and con-
tentment characterized the Champagne
country, where now the lines of the
French and German trenches wind like
scars through the heart of its high
plains" begins a statement issued by
the National Geographic Society, which
describes and locates this old land di
vision mentioned continuously in press
dispatches from the front. Its peasant
proprietors were well-to-do before the
war; it's cities, while small, were well
built and prosperous, and cases Of pow
erty were seldom to be met with with
in it's area. Its farms, under intense
cultivation. yielded more than the rich
holdings in the famous Dlack-earth
belt of Russia, and the wine made from
its grapes was known wherever west
ern civilization had found its way.
An Old-Time Province.
"The Champagne is an old-time pro-
vincial division of France and is in
cluded within the present departments
of Marine. Haute- Marine, Seine-et-
Marine, Aube Ardennes. Aisne and
Yonne. The trenches pass through Elan
ders, the Artos, Picardie, and then en-
ter the Champagne, where are located
some of the most important battlefields
on the western front. Rhelms is the
heart of the region, and the German
lines are just beyond this CITY me
old province was about $50 miles long
by $50 miles broad, and after the tenth
century it was ruled by its own counts,
who were vassalS of the French kings.
Its capital was Troyes. 1t was united
by marriage to the French crown and
was incorporated with the kingdom in
1861.
..Liege and Luxembourg bound the
hnN1 fig
it on the east. Burgundy on the south
and Picariie and Isle de France on the
west. Thus fighting reported from the
Champagne takes place somewhere
between Scissor on the west ana tne
forest of Argonne on the east. Inc
country is hilly on the north and east
while high plains form Its center. IL Is
throughout this region that the present
German lines cut deepest into france
Wine for the World.
ION the hills and undulatng fields of
northern and central Champagne, in
the shallow soils, are grown the grapes
from which Frances world-famed
wines are made, the aristocracy among
all the wines of earth. Production IN
this part of France is rich and varied,
but it is upon the success of the grape
harvests that the good and bad years
largely depend. A bad grape year is
felt by all the people of the province,
while good grape year brings pros
perity to all The wine product is sent
to every country in the world, and its
export is large enough to represent an
important item in the nations foreign

product are stored in labyrinthian gal
leries cut through the low chalk hills
in their neighborhoods A trip through
these underground avenues, broken
here and there by little lighted rooms,
where small groups of workmen bot
tied or cut the wines, was a regular
feature on the tourists program, whose
