Citizens Vote to Bring Meetings
Back Again Next Year
Excellent Speakers Discuss
Live Topics
Knox County Can be Tiptopper
Alphabetically

The Farmers Tent School opened
on Monday with packed tent. r.
Nv. Cole, president of the organic
Alton, presided After introducing
the Lexington Quartette, who sang
a number of college ditties in very
pleasing style, Mr.. Cole said farm
conditions should be improved in
Knox County so that we may be
more prosperous. These meetings
will demonstrate the advantage of
improved methods along many lines
and we should take advantage Of
them Wehave a number of good
farmers but none of us know so
much that we cannot profitably
learn more The chairman then in
troduced DR.. Mcvey, President of
the State University at Lexington,
whose subject was organizing the
Community"
DR.! McVey stated that none of the
speakers are receiving pay for their
iii u llC AbSO-
citation to which they may belong.
He then told an excellent story il
Illustrating how people get together
to do things and then wait for the
other fellow to do it. This is true
in the business world, in the church
and other departments of life.
However, we learned thru the war
that by cooperation we can do any
thing we set out to do. All that is
necessary is team work. The speak
er said, Kentucky is probably the
most individualistic of the States of
the Union, a heritage from Anglo
Saxon blood and from the fact that
in the early days of the settlement
of the State a mans rifle and ak
either protected himself and family
or hewed out a home for them.

precious things we have-our chill
dren. The school and it's condition
will tell the story of a community
every time. Also our children must
get a better education than the chill
dren of the pioneer, otherwise. they
will be handicapped in having to
meet better educated children in the
battle of life.
AS regards the Church, DR.. Nc
Vey said that the community with
out a church will steadily lose it's
moral, ethical and spiritual values.
He urged young peoples societies
and said the church should act as
the social center of both town and
country. Assisted by the school this
will make an ideal condition.
Good health is fundamental and
necessary if we would have power
full, vigorous community. If we
want health, we must pay for it.
Among the requisites are cleanliness
sanitation, pure water, good FOOD,
fresh air and the cleaning. up of the
rubbish that steadily collects in Il
community. Otherwise, if not dis
posed of, we get the epidemic that
costs so many valuable lives, which
run in value from $4,000 to $4,000
for each life.
Good roads are necessary If the
farmer is to increase his production
and bring it into town. When trans
portation falls down no one pros
pers. 1t costs money to build roads
and unfortunately. we get the i'm
preston that we are highly taxed.
The speaker then reverted to school
taxation in Kentucky and showed
Mountain advocate. (Barbourville, Ky.) 1904-1935, 1919-07-25

Changing conditions, however, have
called for community interests and
these interests include the home.
school, church, good health. good
roads, recreation and play, industry
and business.
The home is the foundation on
which the country depends 1t
should be our desire to raise healthy
children who, eventually, will know
more than we know. 1t includes
the construction of homes, with light
ventilation, protection from the ele-
ments, pure water, sanitation, good
food, clothing and the teaching of
morals to the children. 1t is a
great, big job"
He then enumerated the number
of things that did not exist when
the older people were young and
said with the numerous attractions
which the children of today possess
il we can bring moral influences to
bcdl VII lllcHl tuO VI
fully handling them will be easier.
The school takes the children's
waking hours more than home or
church. If a community has good
schools with proper construction,
light, seats, ventilation and teach
err who knows her business, then that
school will probably meet all that we
expect of it. We are constantly
calling on the teacher to do work
we ought to do and therefore in
both town and country districts, we
should have Parent Teachers Asso-
Citations to help the teacher with her
job. There is nothing like teach
ing to take out of one the qualities
of courage, vigor and steam. Teach
ers should have more salary because

that we are more lightly taxed for
schools than any other State. Our
tax is but 40c while in the west it
runs to $1.25 and in some sections
as high as $500. As a consequence
they have good school buildings and
equipment. We must recognize the
fact that if we want anything. we
must pay for it and wait for our
dividends as does the business man.
Or. McVey said good roads will in
crease the value of land and are
good investment in every line. So
cially, they are great thing and if
we do not have them, the things we
live for are more difficult to secure
Industry is fundamental and it is
for this that the town is created and
business developed. Hostility be-
tween the town and country should
not be, as the business of a town
depends on agriculture. The speak
er also urged community work that
the Standardization of products
might be brought about, canning
factories etc. established. Then in
stead of money going out of a com
munity it will remain at home.
Play and recreation should receive
more attention. We have gotten so
busy we do not get the active play
we should. There should be three
or four big picnics year, commun-
ity picnics, where everybody would
play and get acquainted. There
should be a playground for the child
rem with swings, teeter boards, etc.
DR.. McVey spoke of the historic
interests which are interviewer with
Barbourville and urged Knox
County pagent. He stated talent
would be discovered as we needed it.
He paid tribute to the leader
ship that has been developed in the
American and English boys by the
sports they play.
He also urged a Community Club
to look after the things needed and
said the farmers should be members
of it and hold office. Also that wO-
mems work along the line of civics
is necessary as they can get things
done that the men will not do Had
il not been for the cleanliness of
women, he declared, the race would
be either dead or not amount to
much.
Every community has number of
men capable of doing things for the
community and it is their duty to
get together and develop the latent
powers that We may lead happier
lives. find greater contentment and
assure the safetf of our children,
physically and spiritually. You
have a beautiful city and you have
responsibilities toward your children
to which you should measure up.
This is largely a matter of coming
together. "

Miss Dora Sonnenday spoke of the
Importance of the home. on which
on which the prosperity of the ma
ton depends. HOmemaking is the
most important of all professions.
There is a vast difference between
a home and house and the size
and furnishings do not necessarily
make a home. Home should be a
place where the health of the body
may be restored and where the
nerves may find rest.
Home should receive consideration
from the standpoint of construction,
furniture, rugs, sanitation front
and back. flower gardens, because
there should also be color in the
open. 1t should be a place where
people like to stay and should be an
attractive spot for your boys and
girls. 1t is the place where sewing
should be done and taught. Give
the girl knowledge of textiles,
what will wear longest. teach sew
ing, home economics aud about food.
One out of three of our boys we're
rejected by the Army examining
boards. Good food develops resist
ance to disease. If democracy means
anything it means giving our child
rem good start. The farmer knows
that nitrogen and lime are necessary
for his crops. The human system
needs them too. Learn the foods
we need and serve them to the hu-
man machine We call the body. We
give balanced ration TO cattle.
Do the same for the human body
and you will build body tissue and
supply heat Ond energy. Children
need candy, but it should be at the
end of meals, otherwise fermenta-
ton and sour stomach will occur.
Foods regulate the body processes.
Feed the babies milk which contains
all the food elements necessary.
Because they sometimes do not like
it is no reason why they should not
have it. Mother love has killed
more children than anything else.
Each child should have one quart OF
milk daily until years of age and
the adult one pint daily.

best along all lines and to pay the
price Health can be bought only
by a community and not by an indi-
vidual. We can tell you how to
spend your money and have health.
Just as sure as we are here, some
one of this audience will die as the
result OF pTeventable disease,
which could have been prevented by
spending money. We are afraid of

all factions get together and estab-
lish good health organization.
"If there is bad feeling among you

kind of thing? PUT A SEAT ON

place thru which flies can enter If

DR.. Wittenberg urged the destruction

He also urged that health nurse
