High Priced Land
Is Farm Factor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-(Unit-
ed Press. when normal conditions
are restored, purchasers of high priced
land may find they are unable to
make profitable returns on their in
vestments.
This is the conclusion of the Bureau
of Farm Management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, after an inves-
tigation of speculation in farm lands.
Prices of land in some sections have
risen so rapidly that serious conse-
quences may be expected, the bureau
believes.
High prices for crops have been re.
Elected in the prices paid for land
and spectators, many Of them not
farmers, have grown rich in buying
and selling at high figures.
Farmers have sold their land a
what seemed to be good prices, but
have been compelled to buy again
losing thousands of dollars in the ex
change. This may cause embarrass
ment, said the bureau, if the purchase
is financed on credit,

Hamblen County
Fair Next Week

MORRISTOWN, Sept. 27. The
thirteenth annual fair of the Morris
town-Hamblen county fair association
will be held in Morristown next week,
October |, 2 and 3.
Indications are that the entries will
be more numerous than at any preced-
ing fair, due probably to the very
attractive premiums that are offered.
A contract has been signed that
insures the presence of number of
drawing shows on the midway. An
other main attraction will be the aero
plane which will carry passengers on
trial flights.
Among those who will serve as
Judges are:
DR.. Jacob of Knoxville, state vet
erinarian; Miss Mabel Moore, home
demonstration agent or Greeneville +;
Mr. Richards, of the University Of
Tennessee, and Miss Edith Kurth,
manager of the embroidery depart
lnent of Arnstein's store, Knoxville.

Attendance Larger
Than anAnticipated
at State Normal

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, Sept. 27,
The ninth year of the East Tennes-
see State formal School opened Tues
day, September %, with very encour-
aging registration, representing near
ly every East Tennessee county The
attendance was larger than antici-
pated particularly of men. The low
er salaries paid for teaching in COM
parison with the wages and salaries
received by other workers have left
teaching very much less popular
among young students than hereto
fore This has lessened the attend
ance at the Normal schools through
out the United States Many High
School graduates this year are going
to college and universities who, were
teaching as profession more popu-
lar because Of better salaries, would
have gone to a normal school.
The supply of teachers throughout
East Tennessee has been so much
smaller than the demand that almost
every person who had or could get
any form of certificate has been put
in the school room. This has had To-
cal influence on lessening attendance
at the State normal Schools. I'm
less the boards of education, superin-
tendents, and other influential friends
of the public school System become
more actively interested in popular
izing school teaching by the payment
of more reasonable salaries the sup
ply of teachers for the schools next
year will be even less than it is this
year. The public school system of
the state is facing a crisis which can
be met only through increase of
school funds.

Says Japanese
Population in u. S.
Increasing Rapidly

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--Japan
was charged with "fagrant viola
tions" of the commonly termed gen
tlemen's agreement with this coun-
try by V. s. McClatchy, of Sacra-
mento, Calf, and Miller Freeman,
of Seattle yesterday before the House
immigration committee,
Testifying in connection with the
committees consideration of the bill
which would permit a certain per-
centage of the nations of counter
to enter the United States each year,
both Mr.. McClatchy and Mr.. Free
man said the Japanese control of
many industries in Washington, Ore
gon, California and Colorado was be-
ing enlarged through violation Of the
agreement, which forbids the entry
of Japanese laborers, both skilled and
unskilIed, into the United States.
Both witnesses urged exclusion Of
the Japanese.
