asked a friend of Lillian Russell. 'T

with apparent irrelevance, who was
born in midocean on an ocean steam
er. After she and her mother had
landed, the steamer, on it's return trip,
blew up. So, practically, she has no
birthplace. My age is like that" she
added, after pause.

DAINTY WAYS IN COOKING

Dandelion leaves are excellent
when chopped finely and mixed with
salad. A delicious sandwich filling is
made by working minced dandelion
leaves with seasoned butter.
When making apple sauce, after
washing the fruit, cut it up without
removing the skin or core. Press
sauce through sieve.
Grated orange rind is excellent for
favoring cakes and puddings.

ion of all religious bodies, but
the various religious bodies can
have their separate hours of wor-
ship, their separate hours of Sun
day school, etc., if they do not
all care to coalesce into one union
organization.
In Blount county today, there
are communities which have from
three to six struggling churches
which, if all congregations would
unite, there could be employed
one pastor who could bring two
message each Sunday; with their
combined contributions splendid
church edifices could be erected,
and every convenience of the city
church would be had. Good
roads will bring the church near
err the front door of each church
goef, and with their automobiles
and fine equipages, the church
will be as near to the farmer, and
as attractive to the farmer, as it
is in the city.
Thus, a glimpse of the good
results that might come if there
were a more general spirit of CO.
operation on the part of rural
folk, is seen.
We do not know the outlined
program of Prof, Morgan, or
how far it tends to go in the
community development of rural
community life, but no matter
how far, his plan is one that
should appeal to every ambitious
farmer and Blount countian,
and we should like to see him
invited here for an address to
the farmers and business men.
A campaign in the county under
the direction of the Board of
Trade would not be a bad idea.
Prof. Morgan is a busy man, but
it is the busy men Who are doing
the biggest work today-and he
would be glad to come to Blount
county as he is doing to other
counties, and help US build up
our waste places, and inspire US
to be more cooperative and con-
centrative.

without obtaining the proper
result. However, the publication
of endorsements from prominent
people all over the South who
had actually been benefited by
Tanlac convinced him that a test
of the preparation was worth the
attempt.

unbearable. This is dangerous
to the health of the people, and
such odors cannot be fully done
away with until the town has a
sewerage system. Families live
on these hillsides, and the foul
air is breathed by men, women
and children all day and all night
throughout the summer. Their
lives are endangered and disease
is apt to claim them at any time.
The town can issue bonds up to
$500, 900 for water and sewers.
The issue for these thus far is
only $55, 900. A sufficient amount
can be raised to put in sewer

town should express themselves
to the city officials NOW as
favoring the issuance of sewer
bonds, and ask that this be in
cluded in the call for additional
water bonds. The board of may
or and aldermen of Maryville is

bers are doing their best to make
a cleaner and better

Here's Way
To Make
County
Better
Continued from page IL

One reason why there has not
been more rapid progress in rural
communities is because of this
lack of cooperation on the part
of rural folk. AS some one has
said, there has not only been a
lack of cooperation in life, but
there has been a lack of co-opera-
ton in death as is everywhere
manifest by the number of fam
lily burying grounds to be seen
throughout the country.
The boys corn club and girls
canning club have done much
to organize the boys and girls of
the county, and bring about a
more general spirit of co-opera-
ton. The ramifcations of such
organizations can and will ex-
tend into every department of
farm life and rural life, if the
rural folk will only allow it. 1t
must be by community co-opera-
ton and concerted effort that the
rural section is to be made better.
Too long there has been an alb
sence of cooperation. This COM
munity cooperation which Prof.
Knapp so earnestly preached has
manifested itself in many COM
munities in the consolidation of
schools and churches, and other
religious bodies. Consolidated
schools are proving a blessing in
every community where they have
been established. Handsome
brick buildings, containing sever
al rooms, with up-to-date equip
ment, steam heat, electric lights,
the social centers of communi-
ties-have replaced the little
red school houses" which have
dotted the hills so long, and
which were never visited save
during a few weeks or months of
the year and then only by the
pupils or some angry parent who
went to protest against the teach
err furnishing his child. The con-
solidated school continues six,
eight and nine months; compe-
tent teachers are employed;
standard courses are taught, the
child in the country has an equal,
yes, better chance than his cous-
in in the town.
With the consolidation of
schools, there must come a gen.
eral awakening in the communi-
ty life of the country. Boys and
girls will be better educated,
they will have a better under
standing of the benefits that &C
crue from cooperative efforts,
and some day, the cry of the
country churches that they are
no longer filled as in days of yore
will be done away with, and in
stead Of little, struggling
churches with poorly paid pas
tors who come but once every
or two months -dotting
hills in a community, each
indicative of the many religious
creeds adhered to by the rural
community folk, there will be one

Civil Service Pensions.

The question OF pensions for civil service
employees OF the government is again uppermost
at the session Of the national convention Of mail
carriers in Omaha. II vitality concerns not
alone the mail men. but all those who are on
the government payroll in appontive positions.
whether II be federal, state, county OF city. The
extension of the merit system TO cover public
employees has had the effect OF establishing the
Cermaneney OF employment. and making the
holder OF the Job as Independent or the vicissi-
tudes OF politics as may be. In only one ma
terial way may his present position be vastly
improved, and that ls by the establishment OF
a pension system to which the older and dis
aLled members Of the force may be retired.
The question has been up for debate for a
long time and much has been said for and
against IT, Chief OF the arguments in favor OF
the establishment OF the pension roll Is that
the service does not permit Of advance beyond
a fixed limit. and that the pay is not such as to
ensure a liberal competence, even by exercise
Of extraordinary thrift. The result OF this con-
dition Is that men cling to the payroll as long
as possible, and when removed by cause other
tran death or misbehavior, they are worn out,
either by work or mishap. To be protected
against an old age Of penury is what the civil
service employee asks OF the government.
Against the pension. the most frequent and po-
tent argument is that II discourages thrift. The
employe whose future is fixed by the govern
ment will not be as prudent with his own af-
fairs II he knew himself to be dependent on
his own efforts.
Details OF the plan need not be discussed
now. That the principle has been adopted in
Omaha as to school teachers, firemen and po-
lieemen, indicates strong local presumption
in favor OF pensions for government employees.
The mail carriers are among friends, so far as
this part OF their work is concerned, as we'll as

For Rent signs and 'overbuiidinE.'
OMAHA, Sept. ITO the Editor Of The
Bes: The other morning I was riding
with . land merchant and a representa-
tive Of an organization OF capital. Said
the land merchant: Let me tell YOU.
John. without our friend hearing It. that
for rent signs are becoming too plentiful
in Omaha" John very solemniy an
swered. You are right. Omaha Is be-
coming overbuilt People are leaving old
houses and demanding new ones" VEN
turned an explanation, when John re-
marked. Il did not think was going to
start a single tax discussion"
For the benefit of all let me say that
you cannot speak OF FOR rent signs and
'overbuilding' IN the presence Of a single
taxer without starting something So
listen TO a few facts.
Omaha has been singulariy free Of for
rent signs for many years. II you do
not wish TO see It Join the Denver and st.
Louis class in this respect, listen:
Capital and labor unite to produce
wealth. The primary essential for them
both is land Neither can do a turn with
out land. The land IL owned by a few.
Therefore both must pay tribute to those
few. The more enterprising they become
the greater becomes the demand for land.
Consequently the higher will rise land val
ues and rent. The greater must then be-
come the tribute paid to the land owner
and the less will be the reward to both
capital and labor. This is a plain and
palpabie truth, but one which organizs-
tions OF capital. in their ignorance. ig-
more; one which. In it's ignorance, organ
lied labor does not see.
To those who believe land / am one Of
them) that Billy Sunday will improve the
moral tone of Omaha, let me say: II he
does II will stimulate local enterprise. II
will encourage people TO come here.
Omaha win grow. Land values and rents
will rise. Both capital and labor will pay
still higher tribute TO the owner OF the
land. Finally the strain will reach the
breaking point. Decline will commence
Then what will become Of the moral tone?
II must decline, too For a laborer who
is hungry cannot view moral principles
in the same light as when he is well fed
Oh, II Billy Sunday, with his great in
fluence. could but grasp these funda-
mental economic truths. He would then
think a little more about aiding in the
building OF an economic foundation upon
which might rest a religious and moral
structure more enduring. For the souls
OF men will never be reached and purified.
and so maintained so long as there re-
mains a struggle for existence.
