CLEVELAND DIARIES
USE POWER MIXERS

Cleveland, May 3O.-Two of the
local dairies are now using power
mixers in their establishments, one
being operated byan electric motor
and the other a gasoline engine. These
mixers, which are the first to be
used in the county, are ofthe four
unit type, that is, the cows are MIXED
four at a time. Scores of people
have witnessed the operation at each
dairy and are amazed at the simpli-
city and wonderful work of the milk
ers.
The cows soon become accustomed
to the process and seem to enjoy the
period of milking time.

City's Schools
Needing Money
Increase of Five Cents in Taxes
is Sought to Provide for
Children of Town.
Last Year the Town Paid Only
$500 to Schools, About 81
Per Child Enrolled.

If there is any one institution of
the town that should have the solid
and unanimous support of the entire
citizenship, it is the public schools.
Every child is entitled to an educa-
ton. Maryville, last year, had in her
public schools about 800 children.
This does not represent the entire
scholastic population of the town.
1t is predicted that next year the en-
rollment will be much larger. In order
to take care Of the increased enroll
ment, more money is necessary for
the schools. Last year, the town paid
$500 to the schools. This is about
$1.O0 per child enrolled. Surely the
children are worth more to the town
than this small amount.
Lenoir City, which is not as large
town as Maryville, and which can
not compare with it in many respects
paid it's schools last year, $4,000. And
Lenoir City has one of the best pub
| lie school systems in the state.
Other East Tennessee towns, no
larger than Maryville, paid several
times as much for school purposes
last year as did Maryville. The school
tax is now ten cents on every 800.
The school officials are asking that
next year they be given fifteen cents
on every $100. And this is no large
request. It should be granted.
1t is understood that the Aluminium
company has offered to give to the
schools $3.50 next year to take care
of the children of its employees. The
town receives from the county 80
cents and from the state Is cents
on every $1OO. Through this means
and with the towns money about
5000 went to the schools last year.
The increased tax levy would raise
the city's part, on last years tax
basis, to $1,000. This would be a
great help. The past year, ouVof the
$4,000, an overdraft on the pre-
ceding years school expenses was
paid.
The town has two vacant rooms in
each building, which were not occu-
pied last year, and if sufficient funds
are available, there will be room for
-four additional teacher next year.
And in the manner in hich p9pls
are crowded into the sthdS& ms
these modern days, the two buildings
are large enough to care, s,ufor. 600
or more pupils.
Maryville has a live school man,
Prof. C. D. Curtis, at the head of the
system. And Educators say that the |
town has a force of teachers who are
far beer prepared for th6ir work |
than most towns of the state. The |
schools should be given the increased |
tax apportionment, and every citizen
should use his or her influence to
secure this money for them. 1t is un-
derstood that officials are favorable
to tn eincrease, and they should be
assured by citizens that they have
taxpayers support in this move
ment to make our public schools
better.

a president, two vice presidents, and
four other members. The president
will be James Sterchi, the first vice
president, A. T. Dosser and the
second vice--president, ]. G.. Crum-
bliss. 1t is not yet known who the
other four members to be selected
will be. A stenographer is to be en-
ployed, and the first work to be done
is the getting out of a premium list,
showing the rules, and regulations
governing the fair, and the various
classes of exhibits with the premiums
to be given in each case.
The different departments already
decided on are the agricultural de-
partment, including horticulture and
poultry, the machinery
display, the night horse show, live
stock display, arts and crafts, wom-
ems department and the department |

izations, and women's day. The fair

and water sports, will be provided.
There will also be an old time balloon
ascension.
A parade of the premium winners
in the live stock deparement will be
one of the big free features of the
fair.
The night horse show will continue
through three nights and will be of
the very highest class, giving lovers
of horses a very fine exhibition of
riding and driving. A publicity cam
paigne is to be inaugurated at once
throughout East Tennessee, western
Virginia and Southern Kentucky, as
the management hopes to draw con-
siderably from these sections of the
country. Wide publicity will be given.
Every possible means will be taken
20 make this affair one of the largest
and most successful ever planned in
his section of the country.

RAISED GOOD TOBACCO
CROP FOLLOWING WHEAT

T. G. Moore, who attended the East
Tennessee Farmers convention as a
delegate from washington county,
has the record aaasEing raised fifty
four bushels, kon one and a
tenth acres o and followed
it next year by u co crop from
which he realized $3.50. Tobacco is
the chief product of Washington
county, and is shipped to Greeneville,
S. c., the largest tobacco market in
the south. As this is too early in the
season for tobacco farming, the dry
weather as yet has had no effect on
the tobacco crop.

School COMMISSIONER
Notes
Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

A big eighth grade class, at least $50
that took the examination.
II is to be hoped that every boy and
every girl receiving diploma will at
tend high school next year. Tuition
can and must be paid up to $40 per
year il application is made before the
fourth Monday In June.
II the teachers who are planning on
attending the state normals this summer
wish to send in their names together
with which normal they plan on attend
ing, the commissioner will make out a
list of those from this county attending
each school so that by consulting the
list they may know who is there from
home. Then it would be an easy matter
to have Charlevoix county parties as
well as minor Charlevoix county mass
meetings, and yells at the faculty re-
ceptions. Just meet to appoint yell
master and leader, that's all.
Athletic meet at the Fair Grounds for
South Arm township. That rainy day
rather spoiled it. Nothing fair about it.
On more careful figuring of the
score, the East Jordan Agricultural
Club found that in the Wilson Athletic
meet the Knop school was in the lead
with Alton close second.
Time to take the census now. Every
body's busy.
Twenty-Five certificates will be issued
from the April teachers examinations.
Mrs. Cowles plans on being here for
