SWAT THE
FLY NOW!
Clean up Your Premises and
Keep Them Clean-It Means
Health.
Identification of Unsightly
Spots is the Object of Home
Lovers.

Other towns are taking up
the slogan "Swat the Fly" and
it is a good slogan for Mary
Williams to adopt and stick to
throughout the summer. One of
the best ways to eliminate this
pest, is to keep premises clean
and in a sanitary condition, for
flies do not like the clean pla-
ces, but the unclean. And
flies are carriers of disease
germs. SO if your neighbor
keeps his premises in a sanitary
condition and you do not, the
fly may carry disease germs
from your back lot to your
neighbor's home and produce
SlChuGSS CIlGIc.
The "Swat the Fly" and
"Clean up your Premises" slo-
gans should appeal especially
to Maryville people for we
have no sewers, and the back
yard is too often the place
where dirty greasy water is
thrown, and this produces the
fly's place of enjoyment. If the
back yard must be the place
where refuse water is thrown,
keep a barrel of lime nearby,
and begin early this spring to
sprinkle lime over the damp
places. This will help to make
the place more sanitary. Lime
does not cost much, and a little
money spent in prevention may
cause a big saving in the
amount you might otherwise
have to spend for cure.
Clean up the premises, in un-
slightly spots plant flowers, and
make your home a place of
beauty and attractiveness, and
a place of cleanliness.
There is a great book which
says that cleanliness is next to
godliness.

BOOST

Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt use earth,
But just be a Booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin' boost her
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin'.
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things shonld stop again,
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep the horn a-blowing!
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An you can boost it up trifle,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not going TO knock it,
Just because it amt your shout
But that you're going to boost little
Cause he's got the best thing out.

TAKES WALLOP
AT FEE SYSTEM
Supt. Sheriff. Says County
Trustees Got $91,597.69 of
School Money.
Last Year, and Says this Law is
a Disgrace to the People of
the State.

Nashville, March 22.-The fee
system under which the county
trustees were permitted last
year to have $91,597.69 out of
the Tennessee school fund, re-
ceived an awful wallop Friday
from Superintendent w. S.
Sheriff. of the department of
public instrustion, who declar-
ed that it was a shame, a dis
grace and a reflection on the
people to permit such a prac-
tice to continue.
"The county trustees are not
to blame. Several of them are
my friends and | am not attack
ing them for a system over
which they have no control.
They were elected to the Off
ces which they occupy and are
entitled to the proceeds as the
law allows" Mr.. Sheriff. said.
'It is the system that is
wrong. 1t is a reflection on the
state of Tennessee to permit it
to continue. It is an injustice to
the children of the state that
$4,000 should be paid out to
the county trustees to collect
the money for their schools.
The money paid out last year
for collecting the school money
was more than hali of the mon
ey coming from the permanent
school fund.
cit is a disgrace to the state
to pay out $4,000 a year to the
county trustees when the ac-
tive school men, the men who
spend their entire time in the
interest of the schools, are paid
only $4,000 a year. Some Of the
county superintendents are
paid more than that but large
majority of them are paid
much less.
'In Davidson county Super
intendent Anderson gets a sal
ary of $2,400 a year for devot-
ing all his time and attention to
the school work. He is a man
trained in looking after the in
terests of the school children.
He is a school man. But the
county trustee of Davidson
county last year received
$6,259.42 for collecting the
school money. There is no JUS.
tice in it when the school mon
ey is paid out in any such man
ner.
According to the figures com
piled by Mr.. Sheriff., the trus-
tee of Davidson county last
year received $6,259.42 for
collecting the school money,
the trustee of Shelby county re-
ceived $8,133.43, the trustee of
Hamilton county received
$4,507.35 and the trustee of
Knox county received $4650.85
"Under the present fee sys-
tenn the trustees get two
whacks at the school money!"
said Mr.. Sheriff.. "They get a
Whack at it when it is collected
and turned over to the state
comptroller. They get another
whack when it is sent back to
them for disbursement. Under
the present system they are en-
titled to 6 per cent of the first
$1,000 collected, 4 per cent on
the second $1,000 and 2 per
cent of the remainder collected
amounting in the aggregate
last year to $91,597.69.
