BRISTOL SETS EXAMPLE
Community Fair Designed to Espe-
ctauy Encourage City Gardening.
Many Prizes to De Offered

BRISTOL. VA. September S-The
Civic League OF Bristol. which includes
many prominent women OF tho two
municipalities. has arranged for a com =
munity fair. TO be held in tho City Hall
on September p and 80. The main
purpose OF this fair Is to take an in
ventory Of the work accomplished by
the public school children and by fami-
lies in the city In the way of yeEe-
table production. Special prizes will
be awarded for the best production of
potatoes. the best all-round vegetable
productions. etc. II Is announced thar
probably not less than 400 children
will prepare exhibits. The women are
much gratined with the work accom-
plished. and tt is declared that tho re-
suit will mean ample to supply tho
winter demands Of hundreds OF fami-
lies In the city. The city authorities
In Bristol. Tenn. planted numerous
vacant lots in corn, potatoes and other
staple vegetables. and the city will
have large quantities of potatoes to
sell TO poor families at prices that will
enable all to. have something substan-
tial to eat during the winter months.

other greens. This cultivation not
alone sweetens the soil, but It will FUR
nish large amount OF the necessary
vegetable food.
If yards are intended to be kept in
permanent sod. IT will be advisable to
allow at least 100 square feet per
fowl. Otherwise, the birds will soon
are intended for exercise only. and the
green's are supplied from outside
sources. about twenty-five square feet
or ;rife less per bird is sufficient
In any event it is we'll to remember
that the nearer square a yard is made
the less it costs 20 fence a given area.
Furthermore, the flock is more securely
confined within a square yard: the
birds have not the feeling Of restraint,
as in a long, narrow yard. However.
the height OF the fence is largely a
matter OF the breed one keeps.
The meat breeds. such as tho Brah-
mas. may be kent within a three to
iour-fo fence; the dual-purrose
breeds. such as the Rocks, within a
four TO five-foot fence. and the eEr
breeds. such as the Leehorns, within a
six or seven-foot fence. Never con-
struct yard with rail at the top,
unless the run is to be covered with
netting. for to do so only invites the
fowls 10 f1y and alight on it. Netting
a rail II carefully done.
Nests and Pcrches.
The warmest part OF the building
and that which is freest from drafts
should be selected for the roosting COM
partment, which is usually against the
rear wall. Each fowl should be flowed
about ten inches linear perch room. and
all the Derches should be OF the same
height. or the birds will fight and strug-
gle for the highest ones. Running the
perches the long way of the house, that
is, parallel with the rear wall, is gen
orally the most convenient arrange
mert
Next in Importance to the roosting
compartment is the arrangement OF
nests, % --'hich there should be at
least one to every four or five layers.
Under natural conditions the hen seeks
secluded spot in which to lay. hence
IL hehooves the builder to initiate this
sec!usion. The nests should be Sit
uated in more or less dark place,
easily accessible. and in such a way
that they do not obstruct passageways
Or in'rude upon the floor area. An
unrestricted floor is of vital import

anee and 1t should not DO robbed In
any way unless absolutely necessary.
Each most should DO about Ii by IL
inches square. and, about 10 inches
hiSh. with partitions between them to
keep tho hens from lighting.
Poultry buildings can be erected at \
cost OF 81 per bird or $40 per bird. It
all depends upon tho manner In which
the structure is built and finished. As
a commercial proposition. whore the
houses are built for utility purposes
only. and are not ornamcnted in any
way. 1t is not advisable to spend over
1.6o per hen for the buildings.
Green food is almost as essential to tho
fowls well-betng as grain. Sometimes this

And this excitement or panic is not
conductive TO egg production. In fact.
the birds arc apt to seriously injure
themselves by striking against corners
and projections Eggs have been
broken internally by sudden flights,
resulting in the hens deaths. Bundle
foot is caused by jumping from high
places to hard floors.
The size of the flock Is still another
factor. When fowls are kept in small
units. more floor space is needed. The
reason for this is quite apparent. In
the small fcck. say twenty birds in a
pen i1Xlc feet. each hen is confined

which is deemed fairly adequate In
large flock OF 500 layers, houses in a
building sixteen feet deep and 100 feet
long. each bird would have but a
t-ife over three :.1are feet of floor
space. yet II would have the freedom
OF roaming and scratching over the
entire area, and would not be oppressed
with the feeling OF constraint
In the small house or pen the at

flock into corners. In the large house
the Cock can always get away from
the attendant and will not fear his
activities.
Thus, the situation may be taken
about as follows: allow six TO seven
square feet per bird for all classes II
ne houses are small; provide ave 10
six square teet per bird of the Ply

City Council.

At the last session of the city
council it was ordered that an
expert accountant be employed
to check the books and records
of the city, and the work will
start in about thirty days as soon
as competant man can be secur-
ed. 1t is about time some such
action was taken, and it should
be an established rule for every
incoming council to have the
books audited for the previous
two years. There is many a
dollar that has got away from
the city that even an expert can
not find.
The tax rate set by the coun-
Gil for this year is S1.10 on every
$1U0 valuation, and the valuation
of the town as certified is 81, GAG,
900, which will produce a revenue
of something over $3.50 to pay
the operating expenses of the
town for the year.

in the several buildings as fol-
lows: high school, 80; north

235; south side school, 155:
Prof. Grover is principal in the
high school, Prof. Moore, princi-
pal of the north grammar, Miss
Gertrude Hackley principal in
the Froebel, and Miss Teresa
White principal of the south side.
There is a new departure in the
teaching in the north grammar
school from the old system, the
instructors teaching only one
subject the same as in the high
school.
Miss Harriet Bartlett, who had
been engaged as Spanish teacher,
was notified of the serious illness
of her father at the old home in
Colorado Spring, and she felt it
was necessary forsher to resign
her position and be at his bed
side. Supt. Cornelius has secur-
ed Miss Marie 1ngersol, of Green
Valley, Ill.,, to fill the vacancy
thus caused.
Prof. Porter started his crew
of foot ball players into practice
last Wednesday, thus losing no
valuable time in preliminaries.
Military instruction that is now
compulsory in all high schools
will be started Friday.
The domestic science depart
ment. under Miss May Anderson,
is very anxious to get busy in
real practical work, and they
want to can all the fruits and
vegetable in the town. Miss
Anderson says they will can
fruits and vegetables for any
patron of the school free of ex-
pense if they will provide the
materials, which is an elegant
opportunity for the housewives
to unload some of their troubles
on the domestic science depart
ment.
The first day enrolment of the
schools demonstrates fully that
the new buildings were sadly
needed. Within the next month
this enrolment will be increased
another hundred and fifty, and
then all the rooms will be filled
to their comfortable capacity.
What is the reason the moral
standard of honesty among pub
lie officers, and men in positions
of trust is apparently at 'such a
low ebb. Hardly a day goes by
without the papers record one or
more cases where public officials
have been arrested for embez-
zling funds that come into their
hands, or are guilty of blaekmail
or caught accepting bribes and
boodling. Is there a contaminat-
ing influence in public service
that weakens the moral fiber of
a man, or is he naturally a crook
and was waiting for an opportu-
nifty to betray the confidence of
the people? We sometimes Won
der if the trouble does not lie in
the political parties who are re-
sponsible for the elevation of
such men to Office. The party
elect them, and then from a mis-
taken idea of party fealty con-
done the crooked work of the of
fcial by doing everything possi-
BILE to cover up rather than ex-
pose their perfdy, under a mis-
taken idea that exposure would
injure the party. The crook in
office knows this and takes ad-
vantage of his opportunity to
