ESSAY ON CLOVER

Clover is certainly a wonderful plant
to have on any farm. There are sew
eral kinds of clover. Some kinds grow
only on farm lands that are well pre-
pared for them. Others grow on lands
that are quite poor and help to build
up these lands to a state of fertility.
Clovers always do good if properly
handled.
An exchange has printed the fol-
lowing essay about clover without tell
ing who wrote it. 1t is good. It would
be fine If every school boy in Tennes-
see knew it by memory and knew what
each WORD twist" means. This is the
essay:
A wonderful word is clover Drop

barren earth. Cut off the r. alone and

PRESIDENT APPROVES
PLANS FOR REUNION
SAYS WAR SHOULDN'T PREVENT
WASHINGTON GATHERING
Col Hilary Herbert Believes Existence
of War with Germany will Increase
Interest: Famous Fighting Or
CARNATIONS to Take Part.

Washington, April q - President
Wilson has given his apprval of the
plans being made for the reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans, to
be held here the week beginning June
4. He informed Chairman Robert N.
Harper of the reunion committee that
there is no reason why existing war
conditions should in any way interfere
with the gathering of the men whose
uniforms of gray blended with the bat
tie smoke in many desperate actions of
the Civil War. 1t has been suggested
70 Chairman Harper that the occasion
can be made one of patriotic enthusi-
asm, marking the complete reconcilia-
ton and hearty cooperation of the
blue and the gray as the dark clouds
Of war gather on the horizon.
1t is pointed out that the veterans
and other visitors will find much of
interest at Washington. The war con-
gress will be in session for one thing.
The parade will be one of the events of
absorbing interest.
In the marching column will be
fighting men of noted Civil War organ
lzations, troopers of the famous Black
Horse Cavalry of Virginia, survivors
Of the fiery Louisianians known as the
Tigers" dead shots, of Barksdale,
Mississippi's brigade of rihemen, the
peerless sharpshooters of the Confed-
eracy nicknamed the Arkansas SOUR
rel Shooters, the famous Washington
Artillery of New Orleans, Cobb's re-
doubtable Georgians, who with Ker-
shaw's South Carlinians held the stone
wall at Fredericksburg, and the sur
viving units of many other famous
commands.
Many of the parading "Johnnies"
will wear their faded old gray Jackets,
made famous in song and story in
Dixieland, while others will carry the
shot-torn battle flags that inspired the
gray-clad legions of more than half
century ago in the fire and smoke of
battle
As a return compliment, because the
United Confederate Veterans are to
hold for the first time their annual re-
union north Of the Mason and Dixon
line, it is proposed that the 1918 ma
tional encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic be held at Richmond.

THE LEGISLATURE

When the Legislature just adjourned

economy. 1t was liberal in appropria-
tions without providing for a material
increase in revenues, and altogether
the states financial status is in a worse
condition than it was when the legis-
lature met The next legislature is
certain to be confronted with deficit.
The legislature did some good work
in passing the prohibition bills and
abolishing the long-standing anomaly,
the fee system. The moral fibre, es-
pecially of the upper house, appeared
to have weakened by the close of the
session. The defeat of the custer bill
in the senate gave evidence of yield
ing to a sinister combination of polit-
ical influence from Nashville and
Memphis. This action will tend to
weaken the enforcement Of the prohi-
bition laws and encourage general
looseness in official conduct that the
custer had done much to correct.
Considered as a whole, the legisla-
tive record lacked a great deal of be-
ing a creditable one. The defeat of
the bills intended to strengthen the
custer law and the failure to make sat

misunderstanding Banner.

Study Your own History.

All American citizens should know
more OF the history of their country
than can be learned from the meager
outlines of the textbooks used in our
elementary and high schools. That a
large number of people should have
such general and comprehensive knowl-
edge of the country, its life and growth
and the form and spirit of it's institu-
tons, as can be gained only from
reading at least several of the stand
ard histories is essential to the vel
fare of the republic. At every nation
al election and at many state and
municipal elections the people are call
ed upon to vote on policies which can
not be intelligently determined without
such knowledge.
Legislators and other representatives
OF the people are constantly in need
of it. Only out of the history of the
past can come an understanding of the
principles by which they must be
guided if they are to work wisely for

the future. To read extensively and
deeply in the history Of the country
becomes therefore a patriotic duty.
Only thus can one love his land with
love far brought from cut the stored
past, used within the present. and
transferred through future time by
power Of thought
Those who have learned to read his
tory find it the most interesting form
of literature. The story Of any
country or of any great movement of
any people, fifty told, is interesting,
especially when the reader has learn
ed to understand the relation to each
other Of the thought and feeling and
purpose and action Of the people No
country has more interesting history
than the United States, which, from
its beginnings in the scattered settle
ments of immigrants from European
shores three hundred years ago and
less, has grown through colonial and
national life till it has become the
greatest, wealthiest, and most power
full and most prosperous, the freest,
the most self-controlled and self
restrained, the most cosmopolitan and
the most firmly united nation the
world has ever known. The story of
the United States is the story not of

lions through which they have sought
to attain these aspirations, and every
