Judge i. u. Sampson, is re
ceiving great encouragement by
letters coming to him from all
over the Appellate District. The
Mountain Advocate has also re-
ceiyed letters by the score, just
recently, from voters out in the
counr es of the district saying
they are for Sampson.
The endorsement he has re-
ceived at home since he decided
to bANme a candidate for the
Republican nomination for APP
pellate Judge and even before,
urging him to become candidate
is abundant proof of the high re-
gard in which he is held by his
home people. and by the voters
of his own Circuit Court Dis
trict. When the lawyers, mem
bers OF tne Knox CJIn.r Bar,
gave Judge Sampson a unani-
nous endorsement, it was rec
IGNITION of his splendid legal
ability and qualification as jurist;
when the people and voters of
Knox County in mass meeting a
month ago passed strong resolu-
tons unanimously endorsing
Judge SIMPSONS candidacy and
recommending him to the good
people in other parts of the dis
trict, it was a tribute to the man
and his worth. His neighbors
and home county people know
that he has made one of the best
Circuit Judges this district has
ever had, and that he is eminent
ly fitted for the high office in
which he now aspires. They
have confidence in him. At this
meeting there were nearly a
thousand of Knox County's citi-
zens present. The Sunday Schools
of our city gave him an unusual
endorsement thus paying him a
high tribute of respect when
they presented him that beauti-
full Ivory Gavel at he last term
of our Circuit Court.
Knox and Whitley Counties
will roll up a big Republican vo' e
in August for Judge Sampson.
He will have in his Judicial Dis
trict at least 1000 votes over all
other candidates in the primary.
1t is highly gratifying to the
Judge to learn that the Republi-
cans are lining up for him so
strong, also in other parts of the
Appellate District.

The BaryphOne

The Baryphone is a new inven-
ton wnkh is on a fair way Of
revoIutioniZ'ng the telephone sys-
TEN. As is well known, the
American telephone is often very
unsatisfactory but the drawbacks
are wholly eliminated by the
Baryphone, which makes CONVEX
sations on the longest distances
just as clear as on short circuits,
as the sound is carried to both
ears and all noise excluded. Per-
sons hard of hearing, who hither-
to have been prohibited from
using the telephone, can now use
it with the aid of the Baryphone,
which also will permit two per-
sons to hear the message without
the use of the double telephone.
The Baryphone is the only simple
practical and effective sound in
tensifer in existence and is in
comparably superior to all others
especially as it leaves the hand
free for annotations during the
conversation. lncrea ses t h e
sound wonderfully. Indespensa-
BILE to all telephone users. AL

FROM THE EDUCATORS
NOTEBOOK.

New York-The cost of education
for college students is steadily rising.
The recent announcement that, begin
ming next fall, the tuition fee at New
York University would be $3.50 year,
instead of 1925, as at present, was but
an index of a general rise in ed'ca-
tional prices that has continued for
the last five years, with acceleratiO1
in the last year or two. The Eastern
universities have most recently an
nounced increased fees, but the move
ment upward has been more or less
countrywide. And it has not been
confined to the male and co-educa-
tional institutions, but has included
women's colleges such as Barnard,
Bryn Mawr. Radcliffe and Wellesley.
In many colleges Also especially those
situated in cities, the students cost
Of living has gone up. One of the
most recent advances in tuition fee
is at Harvard, where, it is announced,
the charge will be $500 next year. in
stead of $3.50, the present rate, which
has been in force since 1859.
