-TWOQUESTI0NS
BEFORE COURT
Must Elect Three Pike
Commissioners and
Decide on Bridge
Many Candidates Want
to Direct Construction
of Roads.

Two questions of paramount
interest which must be decided
by the Blount County court at
its April term are these: Who
will direct the building of new
pixies in the county, and will the.
county construct a viaduct from
Main street to the court house?
For the purpose of investigat-
ing the advisability of the latter
question, a committee was named
at the last session of the court,
and will present its report Mon
day, April 5. There has been
some agitation for a viaduct lead
ing from Main street on to Court
street, the route by which the
court house is now reached by
foot bridge. However, the COM
mittee was instructed only to re-
port on the suggestion that the
bridge be built from Main street
direct to the court house, run
ming between the stores of the
R. G. McNutt Hardware compady
and Store No l Of George &
Mitchell. The committee willrec-
ommend that the viaduct be eth
er built or not built. Citizens are
hoping the report will be favor
able as this will afford
more attractive approach to the
Court house, and make it more
accessible to the public.
Greatest interest in the April
term of court, however, will be
the election Of d pike road COM
mission. AS the time approaches
for the session of court, many
more names are being mentioned
in connection with the COM
missionerships, and many avow-
ed candidates are now soliciting
the support of members of the
court. Among those mentioned as
are Thos l.. Nuchols,
J. l.. GillenWaters, S. H. Dunn,
who is said to have the support of
about six magistrates in his enc of
.he county; Sam Walker, of Rock
sord; Roy Montgomery, of Green
back; Lon Kizer, of near Kizer's
Station; Sam Caldwell, of the
'euth end of the county; w. B.
Howard, of Maryville.
Some of these have expressed
themselves as aspiring to places
m the commission, while others
ire being urged to run by their
riends, and have not yet an
lounced.
Besides these, it is reported that
ne county is full of aspirants to
ne commission, and many are
helling the woods in the interest
f their candidates..
1t is expected that the April
erm of court will attract the larg-
st crowd to Maryville that has yet
isited this town this spring. In
crest is general throughout the
ounty, and it will wax warmer
s time for election.
Besides these two questions of
eneral interest, routine matters
1ill be disposed of by the court.
he magistrates will likely be in
ession all day.

Veteran Rural
Letter Carrier
Tells Experience
w. NJ Barr is Oldest Carrier in Blount
County, and Will Celebrate Ami
Uersary May IS. Says The
Times is Now Best Paper
In Its History.

greater part of the territory is tn
same which he first travelled. H
says his duties are less arduou
and fatiguing than fourteen
years ago, because of the improve
ments in the highways, especial
ly in pike roads. Why, when
strike the pike four and one-hal:
miles from town every Afternoon
as | return home, my horses
strike up a live gait, and we fee
that we are at home. "
You notice that mr.. Barr says
we, =" when he speaks of himself
and his horses. And it is naturaI
that he should thus speak, fol
his horses have been his boon
companions through many stormy
days, as he has driven over the
hills and valleys eff Route l. But
Mr.. Barr has exhibited more en-
durance than have the horses, for
he is now driving his fifth horse,
the work having put four others
out of the running. And he has
worn out eight buggies, thus
proving that he is a good custom
er of vehicle dealers.
Leaving MaLyville each morn
ing MIR. Barr goes out the Niles
Ferry road to BriekmiIl, then
across to the Morganton road,
eight miles from town; thence to
the five mile post; thence to Glow
er Hill, thence to the Morganton
road, four and one-half miles
from town, thence to the post
office. The route is twenty-six
and one-half miles in length, and
requires eight hours to cover. His
first route was only twenty miles
and he could go over in five
hours.
MIR. Barr says that were it not
for the pixies, he could hardly
make the trip in one day.
Mr.. Barr said that he loved his
patrons, and that he believed
they loved him. We did not
doubt his word, but as is the way
with newspaper men, we took
advantage of our inquisatorial
rights, and inquired into some of
the reasons he could give US for
believing that his friends loved |
him. And he convinced us. |
Listen what he said:
"Why, on cold stormy days,
when my hands are numb, and |
am so cold | can hardly speak, |
many good women and child
zen are waiting at their doors to
give me a cup of hot coffee, a hot
unch, and an invitation to warm
oy their fires. "
Of course his patrons love him, !
md as he talked of the good
,hings to eat that they sometimes
rave him, we wished we too
,ould be carriers and enjoy some
# the bounties that weigh down
he tables of these prosperous
3lount county farmers.
AS he told of his winter exper-
ences, and the kindnesses which
friends extended him, we wonder
ID if in hot weather he ever got a
up of cold milk from their spring
houses, or a big watermelon lifted
fresh from a large cold running
or peaches, or strawber-
les, or other fruits, were ever
placed in his buggy. And, though
We asked to be pardoned for being
10 inquisitive, we inquired about
his. Mr.. Barr seemed happy that

IL you want TO know anyCnlnI
about any person on Maryville
Route one: who has died on tina
, route, or who have been born Of
that route, in the past fourteen
years; or what success the farm
ers have had with their crops, o
the boys have had with thei
''courting", just ask William
Monroe Barr, and he will giv'
you all the dope.
We do not want you to infel
from this that Mr.. Barr is
busybody, going about ''nosing'
into other folks business; or thai
he is a tattler, or gossip monger,
Not at all. He is anything else,
and these people about whom you
might inquire of him are among
his best friends. Not one on his
route is his enemy.
This is the reason Mr.. Barr can
give you this information: On
May Is Of this year, he will cele-
brate his fourteenth anniversary
as a mail carrier from Maryville
postoffice on this route.
For the past fourteen years,
through wind and storm, sun
shine aid rain, Mr. Barr Gas been
carrying messages of joy and
gladness, and sorrow and disap-
pointment, to the patrons on
Route l. He has not carried
messages of sorrow because he
desired to do so, and had it been
within his power, these would
never have been delivered to
those to whom they were ad-
dressed. But Mr.. Barr cannot
change the laws of nature, and
as the messenger of Uncle Sam,
it has devolved upon him to bring
sad news as we'll as glad news in
to the lives Of hundreds, yes,
thousands of men and women and
boys and girls; and every man,
woman or child on that route,
honor Mr.. Barr, and claim him as
one of their best friends. But
they are not more proud of his
friendship than he is is of theirs
and whenever gladness comes in
to their lives, he is glad, and
whenever sadness comes to their
homes, his days travel is not so
joyous for him, for their lives and
their interests have become a |
part of his life and his interestes. !
Mr.. Barr, whose home is in
Maryville, is the oldest rural car
'ier in the county. Do not think
low that Mr.. Barr is an old man,
'or he is not. He is only So
years of age, and there may be
some delivering mail in this
county whose years outnumber
1is, but in seniority in service,
le holds the record. And it is a
record of which he is proud.
Mr.. Barr received his appoint
nent as a rural carrier in 1901,
md travelled over his route the
irst time on May Is of that year.
MIR. Pemberton was postofice in
spector, Capt. Henry R. Gibson
was congressman, and John L.
was postmaster. Sim
ultaneous with the appointment
Of Mr.. Barr Ed Seaton was ap-
pointed a carrier, but after'eight
years of service, he resigned.
Mr.. Barr's route today is very
similar to what it was when he
began. Of course, there have
been some changes, but the

NO SHORTAGE OF
FOODSTUFFS LIKELY
Report of Government
Shows Immense Yield
of Wheat.
Great Surplus in Other
FOOdstuffs Stays
Shortage.

1naC the United States IS no
threatened with a shortage o
foodstuffs is shown by a recen
report issued by the United State
Department of Agriculture. Be
lieving this report, which ha'
just been received, will be of in
to The Times readers, we pub
lish it in full as follows:
The 1914 wheat crop of the
United States was estimated tt
be 891, 600, 600 bushels. The esti
mated surplus carried over from
the 1918 crop was about 76,000,.
600 bushels. There was, there.
fore, a total available supply o1
967, 600, 600 bushels. AS the nor.
NAL annual per capita consumption
of wheat in the United States is
about 5.3 bushels, $40, 900, 00C
bushels should meet our normal
domestic requirements for food;
in addition, 90,000,000 bushels
are required annually for seeding.
Six hundred and ten million BUSH
els, therefore, should supply the
normal domestic demand. This
would leave surplus of 357, 000-
900 bushels. Of this surplus,
about 210, 100000 bushels were
exported by January 80. This
left 147, 900, 900 bushels, or 40,-
900, 600 bushels more than our
average annual export for the
past five years, for export be-
tween February / and the ap-
pearance of the new crop, for
carrying over into the next crop
year. The amount is sufficient to
permit the export of nearly l, 000-
600 bushels day untili July l,
before which time the new crop
will begin to be available. This is
about the average recent expor
tation.
The large demand for our
wheat arises from the fact that
there was an estimated worlds
shortage of over 400,000,000|
bushels outside of the United
from the fact that the
Russian ,exportable surplus of
100, 600, 600 bushels is not availa-
BILE generally, and from the fact
that the belligerent nations are
eager to secure food supplies.
If it were not for these things, |
we should be discussing ways
ana means or dlSpoSlng OF our |
tremendous surplus of food pro-
ducts.
AS has been stated, the new
American crop will begin to ap-
pear before July. The Argentine
crop is now coming on the mar
zet. 1t is estimated that from
hat source there will be availa-
Die 100, 900, 900 bushels. A sur
1lus of rs, 900, 900 bushels or more
rom India will be available in
Nay and June. The increase in
he fall-sown wheat acreage of
he United States in 1914 was
IL per cent, or over 4,000,000
.cres; in the Northern Hemis-
,here generally the acreage of
winter wheat shows an increase
# from 8 to 33 per cent, as Sol

situation? There is a great sur

may be left depends very much on the

may be left depends very much on the
kind of meat and the manner in which
it is to be treated. The meat should
be cut either in thin slices or in tiny
cubes, or it should be minced by put
ting it through the food chopper.
Some good sauce or stock will near
Iy always be required in the relocating
and if this is not already at hand, the
bones and trimmings should be utiliz-
ed for the purpose. The bones should
be broken small and put with the
trimmings, into saucepan, with cold
water to cover them. Seasonings ana
small pisces of f1avoring vegetable
should then be added, and the whole
allowed to simmer by the side of the
fire until all the flavor is extracted.
Then strain and use the liquor thus
obtained for making a gravy or sauce
for the meat.
AS rule, it will be found an i'm
provement to use little ham, tongue
or other sailed meat along with fresh
meat, as it will help to give flavor;
half cupful of sailed to half a pound
of fresh meat being very good pro-
portion. The seasoning to be added
will depend also on the kind of meat
used. For white meats a little white
: or light-colored sauce is alawys suit
able, also cream, lemon and yolks cf
eggs. For the darker meats and game
tastier sauce should be used, such as
piquante, tomato, or brown sauce, and
a little red-currant or other sharp
jelly, may be added where suitable.
One very important point to re
member in the re-heating of meat is
that it must not be allowed to over
cook, as this will only make it woody
and tasteless. This applies especially
