Between Tazewell and Cumber-

finished and there are also a few
miles of surfacing completed.
The directors interviewed Road
Commissioner G.. w. Montgom-

Morrison at Cumberland Gap,
who assured them that the $50, =

way would undoubtedly take care

In Bell county Kentucky, be-
tween Middlesboro and Pineville
the grading is all completed and
it is one of the finest pieces of
work ever seen by any of the
party. This is also partially sur
faced with a wide macadam road
and a rocking crew is now at
work. The scenery along this
road is magnificent.
At Pineville the directors met
County Judge 7. j. Asher, to
whom credit is due for putting
this magnificent road through
Bell county. This county has APP
propriated $3.50, 900 already and
will use more than this amount.

How Catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The inflammation of the
mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time il
was contracted. A little fore
thought. a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might
have been avoided. Obtainable
everywhere.

Twelve Month at the Latest-Work Going on in

they were more than gratified
with the immense amount of work
going on and in sight, which
practically assures the completion
of the eastern branch of the Dixie
highway to Cincinnati by next
fall at the extreme latest, and
they believe that one year hence
the run from Cincinnati to Knox
vile, can be satisfactorily made
over a surfaced road in two days
time.
At all points they found Dixie
Highway enthusiasm and appre-
citation of the value of this thru
road and assurances that each
county would do its part.
Beginning in Union county Ten
nessee, where 800. 900 is being
spent, the party found re-surfac-
ing under wav between Knox
county line and Maynardville and
grading beyond Maynardville to
the Claiborne county line, pro-
badly one half completed and a
grading crew on the work. The
piers for new bridge over the
Clinch river at Millers Ferry are
completed. County Judge Geo.
Taylor and Road Commissioner
Thaddeus Smith say that Union
county will deliver her road to
the Dixie highway completely
surfaced.
On reaching Claiborne county
line, they found the grading COM
pleted from that point to Taze-
well with the exception of a gap
of three or four miles which has
been under litigation but recent
ly settled, and which will now be
pushed forward. The recent big
flood in Claiborne county did

The teachers purchased a large
wall banner 40x50 inches, in
scribed with the words, At

vile High School," in the school
colors, dark blue and white. The
purpose of this pennant is to en-
courage the students to come
!every day and to be on time.
Attendance counts j05 and
ipunctuality 500. The room
which at the end of the week
has the highest average receives
the banner which is allowed to
adorn their room for a week.
Each room has selected a color
and each time it is awarded the
pennant, it has the privilege of
placing a star of its color at a
certain spot on the banner. At
the end of the year, the room
that has the most stars on the
pennant will receive the reward
of placing a large star in the
center. This week the honor
was bestowed upon Prof. Faulk-
ner's room, the eth and Sth

follows: =
Prof. Faulkner, 97.45R; Prof.

On the preliminary inspection
trip made over the Dixie highway
between Knoxville and Lexing-
ton, KY, by President Allison.
Directors Richard Hardy and A.
F. Sanford last week. over one
million dollars worth ofroad work
was found by them to be under
construction through the difficult
mountainous section beginning
with the Union county line and
running through Union and Clai-
borne counties, Tennessee. thence
through Bell, Knox. Laurel,
Rockcastlc and Madison counties,
Kentucky to Richmond, KY, from
which point the roads are in fine
condition to Cincinnati. The
bulk of the money is going direct
ly on the Dixie highway.
The party were accompanied
by Mr.. John Lowell, of the Patten
Hotel. Chattanooga, and Mr..
Carter Lynch. also of that city.
AS a result of the very large
road work now under construc-
ton it was decided by the direc-
tors that it would be inadvisable
to hold any large dedication trip
this fall. At many places along
theroute detours around cOnstruc-
ton work are necessary, some
portions have not yet been reach
ed by the contractors and one OF
two short gaps have not as yet
been let, which makes automo-
bile transportation a difficult mat
ter at present.
1t was felt by the directors that
to make the dedication trip at
the present time would be con.
strued by the public that the
route was ready for easv travel,
which is not the case; however.

NO "PoRK BARREL" NOW
columbus Dispatch)

Congressman Ashbrook, of Ohio, is
to be commended for the stand he has
taken on pork barrel building bills
for this season. He is against that
sort of cumulative appropriation-"you
help me and l will help you," regard
less of the merits of any of the pro-
iects. 1t Is bad legislation for any ses-
sion because 1t spends the peoples
money, intended for common pur-
pose, to crafty the pride OF few To-
calities, in many cases without meet
ing any real need, or clothing the need
so extravagantly as 70 run amuck with
all business sense. II is especially bad
for this session because the revenues
of the government are making def
cit, and the great problem of this
same congress Is to find the money,
not only for ordinary expenses, but
also for extraordinary ones-the most
extraordinary of all, the adequate de-
fense of the country.
As chairman of one Of the sub-com.
mittees to which such appropriation
items go, Mr.. Ashbrook has to deal
with importunate fellow-congressmen
who are eager to thrust a hand into
the treasury. He is opposing them, de
claring that he will resign the chair
manship before he will approve such
a raid. He ought not to be compelled
or permitted to resign. He is the right
man in the right place. Congressmer
who have not the grace to recognize
the imperative need for economy II
such matters should be forced to rec
ognize it. s.;r

MANSFIELD
Easily Defeated By Mounts
Wednesday Evening
Visitors On The Defensive
Throughout The Contest

Forced into defensive play at the
outset, Mansfield was never able to
get out of the rut, and the team that
last year proved a "jinx" to the
Mounts went down to easy defeat
Wednesday night at the Y. M. G. A.
with a score of 81 to II favoring the
Mounts.
There were a number of familiar
faces on the Mansfield quintet, but
that of Murphy, who starred so phe-
nomenally last year, was missing.
Hughes, Wilcox, Pecht and Henry all
played on the 1915 Mansfield team.
Mansfield scored first, Hughes toss
ing foul early in the game. Mitchell
and Bond both Gagged for the Mounts.
and Hughes again made a foul shot
good. Mitchell, Sapp and Reeder
tossed baskets, before Wilcox made
Mansfield's first fielder. Reeder goal
ed, Bond missed foul shot and then
came back with fielder. Mitchell
shot foul, Sapp Gagged the ball, and
Wilcox finally awoke Mansfield from
its slumbers with a basket. He was
followed by Pecht, making the score
18 to s for the Mounts. Hughes tai.
lied once more for Mansfield and
Mitchell for the Mounts, the latter
with both field and a foul basket
the half ending 20 to for the Mounts
The second half lacked in excite
ment. Mansfield resorted to a strong
guarding game and in this was emf
nently successful, but ignored possi
bilities of tying the score by attempt
ing field shots. Seymour gave the
Mounts two points by neat goal
Bond missed a foul, Mitchell repeated
the performance and Hughes made II
! three consecutive misses of free
shots. Mitchell shot from the fiooi
and then Gagged foul. Miller shot Q
fielder and Seymour Gagged twice in
succession. Bushnell goaled fol
Mansfield, Hughes and Mitchell bott
| fell down on foul shots and Porter
contributed to the Mounts score by
n nice toss. Hughes finally Tailed OF
a foul and Bushnell, just before the
gun ended the half, threw the fina
basket of the game. In the secont
half, the Mounts scored II points t
Mansiield's Z.
During the halves, Physical Direct

gave an exhibition of work on thu

ing greatly appreciated.
