MARYVILLE
ELECTION
QUESTION OF EXTENDING
BOUNDARIES OF CITY WILL
BE DECIDED ON THURSDAY.
MARYVILLE KNOWN AS PRO-
GRESSIVE CITY, AND ENLARC-
ING LIMITS WILL HELP.

The Greater Maryville election will
be held Thursday of this week, June
5. Voters will decide by ballot
whether more territory is to be in
cluded within the city limits. There
is much opposition to the extension
of the boundaries, all kinds of argu-
ments being set forth. However,
the friends of the extension project
are working for favorable election,
but apparently are not as hard on
the job as the opponents.
Maryville is known as a progress
sive city. She needs to extend her
boundaries. Progressive cities ex-
tend their limits. Maryville's pro-
gressiveness will be tested in this
vote. Visitors to the town have been
heard to remark, and citizens of
other towns who have studied NUM-
cipal developments, have been heard
to remark that Maryville will give
herself a black eye if she fails to ex-
tend her limits. She will be set
back a long way if this extension is
not made. Figured from the dollars
and cents standpoint, it will benefit
every one. However, those who
want to raise hogs in their back
yards, drink water out of cisterns
and be deprived of sewer systems
and throw their dishwater and sIcp
in the back yard. viii vote against
the measure Those who want to
have city advantages will vote for
the measure.
Maryville's progressiveness will be
marked by the interest the people
take in municipal developments. Big
business is coming here without any
effort on the part of the town, and
big industries incorporate their COM
munities for municipal advantages.
Maryville can sit still in the boat and
let the surrounding territory grow
and not take it in, but Maryville is
doing herself an injury and some
day will realize it. But it may be
too late.

WAS ABOARD
THE TUSCANIA
T. A. JOHNSON SPENT SEVERAL
HOURS IN THE WATER BE-
FORE HE WAS PICKED UP

T, A. Johnson, of Texas, who was
the guest of his sister, Mrs. J. T.
Tillery in Maryville last week, was
one of the soldiers aboard the
Tuscania which was sunk by a Ger
man torpedo vessel on Feb. 5, 1918.
Mr.. Johnson gives a vivid account of
the torpedoing of the big transport
which carried about 1000 men. He
said that the officers of the vessel had
been lodging submarines, having
been advised of their presence near
by. 1t was about dark that the fatal
shot came. Mr.. Johnson said that as
he left the vessel the ship was stand
ing about on its side. Because of
the excitement among some of the
men, number of the boats were lost
and some fatalities occurred through
mishandling of the life boats, while
others perished in the water before
relief could come to them. Mr.. John
son said he was in the water about
six or seven hours on a raft before
he was picked up by tug boat and
carried to the shores of Ireland.
Mr.. Johnson was a member of the
thirty-second division, and was in the
battles of Scissors, St. Mihiel and the
Argonne. He said he had great ex-
perience but he did not hope to have
another one like it.

BETTER PAY FOR SCHOOL. TEACHERS

A minimum average salary Tor
teachers of 81 800 Is urged by DR.. i. +.
Claxton, United States commissioner
of education. Doctor ClnNton says:
at Is only by very large increases In
pay of teachers that we may hope to
improve our schools apprccinbly. While
the cost of living has increased APP
proxlmately 50 per cent, salaries of
teachers have increased only about II
per cent. The purchasing power Is
therefore, only about G3 per cent of
what It was four years ago. Many Of
the better teachers are leaving the
schools. Students now entering the
normal schools are not Of rs good
quality. Enrolment is also smaller.
