MARYVILLE KINDERGARTEN
HERE THIS SUMNER

Miss Louise Rusche, graduate of
Oberlin kindergarten Training School
will arrive in Maryville this week and
will conduct kindergarten classes at
the home of Mrs. Otto Pfanze.
Many mothers have expressed a
desire to give to their children the
advantage of kindergarten training
and ladies interested have engaged
Miss Rusche. Mrs. Pfianze has Of
fered the use of her lawn and several
Of her rooms for the use of the child
rem in their play.
Miss Rusche comes highly recon-
mended by the faculty at Oberlin.
Her method is to gain the interest
and sympathy of the children by
means songs, games and play work.
The hot house forcing of the childs
mentality is thus skillfully avoided.
The little tots from three to six
years Of age are not permitted to be-
come tired but thru directed play
develop strong, self reliant and cheer
full and become interested in nature
and the life about them.
Mrayville needs first class kinder
garten to reinforce her public school
system and it should be made per-
manent adjunct to the city schools
such being the case in many progress
sive communities.

DELIGHTFUL CONCERT
BY M. E. CHURCH CHOIR

One of the most delightful concerts
given in Maryville, was that of Sun
day night at the Methodist Episcopal
church by the members of the church
choir. Hymns, anthems, and quartets
were the features. Mr.. w. C. God
dard is the choir director and a most
excellent program was given to a
large audience. A male quartet COM
prised of Mr.. Goddard, Mr.. Roy Bird,
Mr.. Harry Bird and Mr.. Joseph G.
Bittle, Jr., sang The Golden Belly,
and brass quartet comprised of the
Messrs Bird, Mr.. Bittle and Mr.. Sui
linger rendered selection.
1t is the plan of the director, Mr..
Goddard, to give such concerts quite
frequently, to which the public is in
vited. The program Sunday evening
was equal to that one hears in the
cities by paid choirs.

PICK UP NAILS
OFF THE STREETS

A campaign is being started in
Maryville, with Mr.. T. F. Cooper as
the leader, urging every one who
sees nail or tack lying on the street
to remove it, thus clearing the road
ways of these little things that do SO
much damage to automobile tires. 1t
is not an unusual thing to find several
tacks scattered on the streets to-
gether, or small pieces broken glass
scattered across the entire street.
Sometimes these are dropped onto
the streets accidentally and some
times it may be that they are thrown
onto the streets purposely. However
this may be, it is urged that they be
picked up, and if one sees another
dropping tacks or nails on the streets
that the person be approached and
asked not to do it, and if the asking
does not prevent it, then report cul-
prits to the city officials.
By a little cooperation on the part
of the citizens, so much of this can
be prevented. On the pixies leading
out from the town, it is not an in
frequent thing to see bottles lying
broken in he roadway, and sometimes
it is impossible for automobiles to
pass by without running over the
broken glass,

WATTS STORE
Is BURNED
FIRE JUST OUTSIDE CORPORATE
LIMITS ATTRACTS HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE
HOSE TOO SHORT FOR FIRE
FIGHTERS TO POUR WATER
ON BLAZE

The store of C. J. Watts, on the
Wright's Ferry pike, just across the
overhead bridge on Knoxville ave.,
was completely destroyed by fire
about 9 o'clock Monday night. AS
soon as the blaze was discovered the
city fire alarm was sounded, and
hundreds of people in cars and on
foot rushed to the scene. The city
fire department went to assist in ex-
tinguishing the blaze. However, it
was beyond the city limits and ef-
fective work could not be done by
the fire department. The last fire
plug within the city limits is one
block from the line, and it required
1900 feet of hose to reach the blaze.
One hundred feet was lacking. and as
the hose was not long enough the big
pump at the station was not set going.
With buckets and barrels, water was
carried to the scene, and the fire was
confined to the one building. The
cause of the fire is not known. Mr..
Watts resided in the rear of the store
building.
1t was not any fault of the city
water and fire department that they
could not assist in the fighting with
the city equipment. The fire plug is
so located that hose can be attached
and houses within the limits reached.
One of the advantages that would
have come to thickly settled com
munities by coming into Greater
Maryville, had the voters voted favor
ably, would have been the extension
of water lines into the thickly popu-
lated communities, with fire plugs,
and then the fire equipment could
be put to serve outside what is now
Maryville. With this question, was
also the proposal of issuing $4,000
in bonds for such extensions of
water and sewer lines. However,
the measure was defeated, and the
loss suffered Monday night may be
repeated in other instances because
of water mains and inacoessibility to
fire plugs. and other individuals suf-
fer because of lack of city advant-
ages.
The city officials are glad to send
the city fire fighting equipment into
the suburbs any time it can be of
service, and it's efforts are not and
will not be limited to the confines of
the city, but when buildings outside
limits are too far from fire plugs, eff
fective work can not be done.

SPEED FIENDS
TO BE FINED
CUT OUTS MUST BE CLOSED
WHEN CARS ARE DRIVEN ON
STREETS OF CITY
CITY COMMISSIONERS ISSUE
uTIMATUM TO THOSE WHO
VIOLATE THE LAWS

The board of mayor and commits.
sioners have issued warnings to
drivers of automobiles that any per.
son who exceeds the speed limit OF
opens the cutout of his car on the
streets of the city, will be fined in
police court. Officials state that
they have pleaded with car drivers as
long as pleading will be indulged, and
that now all who violate the laws will
be fined. One of the officials said
that the men in charge Of the city's
affairs wanted to conduct the bust
ness so as to offend none, but that as
requests do not seem to make any
appeal to violators of the traffic
ordinances, that legal action will be
taken against them.
1t is not an unusual thing for cars
to be run at racing speed along
Maryville's paved thoroughfares,
with cutouts wide open, and city
ordinances forgotten. But this must
be stopped, they assert.
One of the city officials in discus
sing the violation of the traffic ordin-
ances as to speed and cutouts, said
that if fines are rigidly imposed on
violators, that the income from this
one source would be sufficient to pay
the salary of two or three policemen,
and they expect to derive a revenue
from this source if fast driving and
leaving cutouts open is not stopped.
