Recently Scene Of Austrian Air

scribed by Geographers.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Rayen-
ma, the scene of recent lombard
ment by Austrian aircraft, Is the sub
\ ject OF today's war geography bulle-
tin. issued by the National Geograph-
&c Society from its Washington head
quarters, which says:
Forty miles east OF Bologna, sew
enty miles south OF Venice, and a
hundred miles southwest of the Aus
TRAN naval base of Pola, lies the an
cient Italian city OF Revenna, which,
with the possible exception OF Rome,
possesses more magnificent examples
OF ecclesiastical architecture OF the
Byzantine period than any other city
In the world.
Treasure-Trove.
I'm art, in literature and in histor-
ic significance Ravenna is a treasure
trove for student and traveller. Its
beginning is attributed to the Thes-
salians, but there is more tradition
than fact in the accounts OF the re-
gion over which it held sway until it
came under the jurisdiction of Rome
nearly 200 years before the Christian
era. 1t was here that Julius Caesar
was accustomed to come for his con-
feernces with friends and political
advisers from Rome during his ten
years campaign in Gaul.
The Importance of the port which
strongly resembled Venice in It's early
days, but which is now six miles from
the Adriatic. dates from the time
when Augustus Caesar designated 1t
as the naval base of the the upper
sea, its harbor being able to accom-
modate $50 ships at time. At that
period the marshy plain which now
surrounds the town at the confluence
of the Montone and Romeo rivers, was
little more than vast silt bed. The
houses were built on piles, and at
high tide the sea formed numerous
lagoons, the salt water so effectively
removing the danger OF malaria that
the city soon acquired reputation
as a health resort, to which the glad
iators of Rome were sent for train
ing.

canning clubs in the state. She rec
ommends play for girls. She says:

much benefit you have derived from
the out-of-door exercise in your gar
dens through the spring and summer.
Let me beg of you to find something
just as interesting and attractive dur
ing the fall and winter to keep you
out of doors. A certain amount of
exercise in the sunshine and fresh air
will do more to develop you physically
than anything else. Remember, work
does not hurt us. 1t is the continual
grind that does us harm. So. in your

ONE COUNTY AGENT
RESPONSIBLE

County agents form a part of the
general plan of the state and nation to
take general agricultural information
to the people to whom it is of most
use and interest-the farmers and
their families. The value of the coun-
ty agent is measured by results, but
results cannot be seen in one or two
years.
One West Tennessee county which
has a fertile soil and thorough going
citizenship hired a county agent a few
year ago. That agent stayed in the
county at work for eighteen months.
for some reason, which it would be
difficult to explain today, the demon
stration work was discontinued.
The writer visited the county sew
eral weeks ago. One farmer stated
that he had this year marketed $780,
900 worth Of hogs, which he had fat
tened on corn from the farms about
him and the legume pastures.

mess long?" he was asked.

up with the development of the farms
in the county.

RHODES TO CONTEST
ELECTION OF SIMS
Intimidating of Negro Voters in the
Eighth District the Alleged
Grounds.

Washington, November 23.-It is
understood that L. M. Rhodes, defeat
ed republican candidate for congress
will contest the election Of Represen-
tative 7. w. Sims of the Eighth Ten
nessee district. It will be alleged, it
is said, that a large number of negroes
in the various counties of the district
were intimidated and otherwise pre-
vented from casting their votes in the
November election and that the num-
Der of legalized votes unlawfully ex-
cluded would have been sufficient to
elect Mr. Rhodes.
At present the republicans appear
to have slight majority in the house,
but their situation is not secure for
he reason that some of the independ-
ent republicans and progressives and
others cannot be depended upon to
help elect member of the old guard
speaker of the house or assist in any
other way without full recognition. 1t
is believed that this situation will pre-
cipitate the contests in number of
districts which were close.

BOYS LEARN FARMING.

Boys corn clubs in the south have
set the standard for work of that char
acter throughout the nation. Much
prominence has been given the work
in Tennessee this year. 1t has met
with favor. All could see that the
agricultural educational tendencies of
the clubs would result in better farm
ing and happier homes.
One thing has been overlooked in
many places, however, namely, that
the boys in their clubs are one part of
the general scheme for farm educa-
ton represented by the demonstration
work of the south. The men in their
demonstration fields and the boys in
their acres of corn cannot be separated
They both do an educational work.
For the boys here are several special
objects to be obtained
Ito encourage and train along
the lines of activities of country life.
2-To put into practice the facts of
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins, etc.
3-To bring the school life of the
boy in closer relationship to his
home life.
ITO assist in the development of
the spirit of cooperation in the family
and in the community.

cation of the farmer by demonstrating
the splendid returns which may be Sc
cured from farming when it is prop

6-To enlarge the vision of the boy
and to give him definite purpose at an
important period of his life.
ITO furnish to the aggressive,
progressive rural school teacher an
opportunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching of
agriculture with actual practice.

WILL ORGANIZE SCHOOL AS
HEALTH CRUSADERS
New Society Being Launched as Ad-
junct to Anti-Tuberculosis
Campaign.

In order to interest the 100000
school children of the United States
in the tuberculosis Campaign,
the boys and girls will be organized
into Modern Health Crusaders, a new
society being formed under the direc-
ton of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis and announced in a bulletin re-
Gently issued.
Any boy or girl in the United States
not less than nor more than Is, who
sells or buys at least ten red cross
seals, and who agrees to the Crusaders
Health Rules, will receive certificate
of enrolment. When he sells rs to so
seals, he gets a button and becomes a
Squire, and when he reaches 100 to
200 seals silver pin with the rank of
Knight. Those who sell 500 seals get
gold pin with the rank of Knight
Banneret. Leagues of Modern Health
Crusaders will be formed in connec-
ton with schools, clubs, churches and
other organizations. These will be-
come part of the State Legions and
later of the National Legion.
"The object of these organizations,
says Chas. NJ DeForest, National Red
Cross Seal Sales Manager, sis not to
secure money for the Anti-Tuberculo-
sis movement, but rather to give the
children definite tasks whereby they
can help the Health Campaign. Ev-
cry boy and girl must promise to try
his best to keep the following rules:
Always breathe fresh air. New

out a window open. Take ten deep
breaths every day.
2-Eat nourishing food and chew il
thoroughly. Drink plenty of pure wa
ter and use your own cup. Avoid food
that is hard to digest, like heavy pie
and cake and much candy. Never eat
nor drink anything that weakens the
body, like alcoholic drinks.
Snake sure that everything you
put in your mouth is clean. Wash
your hands always before eating ant
battle your whole body often. Clear
your teeth every day. Have regu.

The most conservative estimate pla-

price will bring $1,012, 100000.
Adding to this price of the lint the
