TRAVELLING
LIBRARIES
Have Been Sent To Sun
shine and Cades Cove
Citizens
Good Books Furnished
Free to Those Anxious
To Read

Travelling libraries were sent
Saturday to Sunshine and Cades
Cove, by Miss Nancy Broadly,
county superintendent. These
libraries are furnished by the
state, and afford splendid op-
portunity for lovers of books and
literature to get the best books
without cost.
1t is believed that there are
other travelling libraries in the
county, but there is no record of
these in the superintendent's
office. Miss Broadly would like
for these to be reported, so that
when the people in the communi-
ties where they have been circu-
lated are through with them,
they can be sent elsewhere.

Board Of Trade
To Number House
If Citizens Do Not Comply
With Postal Require
mentS
Appropriation Also Made
For Installing Recep-
taCles

Will you place numerals over
your doors and install receptacles,
so that Maryville can get free
mail delivery?
If you do not, the Board of
Trade will do this for you. At
its meeting last Thursday night,
$50 was appropriated for this
purpose, and inspection of houses
will be made and where citizens
refuse or decline to put up numer-
ais and receptacles, the board
will have them placed.
Maryville cannot get free mail
delivery until these requirements
are met. This may be the last
opportunity for several years of
getting free delivery, and thus
the Board of Trade is going to
qualify for the service. Numerals
and receptacles cost only a small
amount, and every one who is
able to own or rent a house is
able to buy these, if they will.
An inspector will make a final
visit to Maryville in a few days,
and will report either favorably
or unfavorably as to free delivery.
If numerals and receptacles are
not found at every house, he will
report unfavorably, and it will
be several years before
this delivery opportunity again
comes to Maryville.
DR.. R. w. Wells is chairman
of the delivery committee. This
committee has ordered a large
of 10 cent boxes, which
can be used. Other boxes Of
higher price can be purchased
from Crawford, Caldwell & Nc
Cannon Co.
Routine work was done by the
board. The meeting was largely
attended.

MOONLIGHT
SCHOOLS
Suggested That Such Be
Established in BIOunt
County
Are Successfully Conduct
ed In Other Counties
Of State

Moonlight schools for Blount
county is the latest suggestion in
educational circles. Such schools
are conducted very successfully
in other counties of East Tenn
essee. The need for such schools
in every county is manifest, and
good results are sure to accrue
from such institutions. The
schools are conducted at night,
in the county's school buildings,
and are in charge of the county
teachers. No additional expense
comes from the operation of these
schools. Teacher in sections need
ing such schools, as a rule, are
glad of the opportunity to assist
men and women by teaching a
few hours at night. These schools
are planned for those who do not
know how to read or write or
figure, but who are anxious to
learn these things. Many men
and women who were deprived
of school advantages and whose
knowledge of books and literature
is meager, would be glad of this
opportunity of training.
The plan for Blount county has
not yet been worked out. In
fact, the suggestion has just
recently been made, but educat-
ional leaders are investigating
the advisability of inaugurating
such schools, and it is hoped the
plans will be consummated and
schools established for those who
want to attend.

school at johnson City, was
present and lectured to the
teachers on methods of teaching.
The teachers received their
monthly salaries.

TRUCK
WORKS WELL

The new truck bought by the
Blount county court to be used in
repairing the pixies, has been do
ing good service for the past few
days, and many worn places
which have been the terrors of
autoists have been repaired, and
the pixies put in good condition.
The truck has proved very salts
factory to the officials of the
county. The work of repairing
the roads will be extended to
every part of the county in which
the pixies have been built.

Cades Cove is one of the best

Of its inaccessibility, it has long

WaterwOrks For $40
Easy For Farmers
Here's One Farmer and
Wife Who Formerly Car
ried All Water Up Hill
About Four Rods
With Small Expenditure
They Now Have Run
ming Water In
Their House

About five years ago | read in
some farm paper about home
waterworks-how a small hydrau-
lie ram could furnish plenty of
water at small outlay. Up to
this time we (my wife and y
had been contented to get our
water with buckets from a spring
down a small hill about four rods
away. 1t was my practice to
bring two 14-quart buckets morn
ing and noon, and what was need
ed at night. This was quite a
task, especially noon and night,
when man comes in from the
fields hot and tired.
read everything l could get
on how to put water in the home.
After measuring the flow of wat
er from the spring | found we
could use a ram which would give
us all water needed. | wrote
some houses for prices on rams,
necessary fixtures, piping, etc.
| was surprised to find we could
get water into the house for less
than $40. We decided to order
one Immediately, with everything
necessary, such as extra coup
lings, elbows, etc.
When ready to put down the
ram l read carefully the direc-
tions given in the catalog, got
the use of my neighbor's pipe
wrenches, and his help a few
hours, and soon had it all con-
nected up. For tank we bought
a cider barrel and placed it in
the garret over the kitchen, and
attached the necessary overflow
pipes leading to the chicken yard
and wash house. One pipe was
run into the kitchen. We now
had our waterworks going-360
gallons in "a hours.
When figured up, it all cost
less than 500. We were delight
ed with it's success. That little
ram furnished water for the
kitchen, washing and chickens,
and much more than was needed.
There was no more climbing up
the hill with two buckets and tir-
ed legs three times a day. My
wife was delighted with it's con-
venience, and felt it's saving of
the energy that was necessary
in climbing the steep grade each
time water was needed.
We now have a No. 5 ram at
tached to an artesian we'll of a
neighbor's, and get the purest
water in great quantities. We
have it in all parts of the house
where wanted and expect soon
to have it piped to the fields for
the stock. &C. D. Haverty, in
The Progressive Farmer.

RULING ON TAX PENALTY.
Entire Liability Doubled for False
Return. Commissioner Holds.

The 100 per cent penalty. which
means doubling the tax, which the
commissioner of internal revenue is
directed by law to assess against any
one who falsely returns his liability
to taxation is to apply not only to
the amount OF liability to tax withheld
in the return, but to the entire amount
of the liability to tax for the period
of the return. This alters former
decision which would have computed
the penalty upon the amount actually
due over and above that shown to be
due by the false return.
.''If a party liable to tax for the entire
year falsely states in this return that
he is liable for Il portion only of that
year, the return so made is false" says
the ruling of Commissioner w. NJ
Osborn, mot only as to that portion
of the year omitted. but as to the re-
naming portion falsely represented
as the actual period of liability. In all
such cases this Office holds that the 100
per cent penalty applies to the full
amount of the tax involved

FAIL TO SEND IN DATA.
Complaint Filed by Ranking Com.
mittee of Tennis Association,

NEW YORK, December 1O.-Tae
ranking committee of the National
Lawn Tennis Association in it's report
to the parent body again emphasizes
the unsatisfa ctory response to it's re-
quest for data upon which to base its
ranking of players. According to the
committee, the replies received this
year were less than the number turned
in at the end of the 1914 season.
Blanks were supplied through every
club holding membership in the asso-
citation to all players who competed in
sanctioned. tournaments during 1915.
1t is estimated that more than 5000
racquet wfelders competed in 142 tour
naments sanctioned by the L. s. n. l..
r. A.. yet but eighty-six singles and
forty-two doubles record blanks were
returned to tie committee. AS result
portion of the ranking had to be
done upon unofficial and press reports
of the play Since but small propor-
tion of the tournament players evince
any desire to supply the committee
with the necessary data for ranking
purposes, other methods for recording
the progress of tennis competition will
be adopted before the 1916 season be-
gins,
