TEACHERS RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, The present session of
the summer school held by the Ten
nessee Polytechnic Institute is now
drawing to close, ana
Whereas, This has been a most
profitable and enjoyable session
and we feel that we have been much
benefited by our association and
work together,
Therefore, Be it resolved, That
we, the teachers of Putnam county
respectfully adopt and publish the
following resolutions:
/. We thank the faculty of the
Tennessee Polytechnic Institute and
sizes shown and the instruction given,
and appreciate the efforts of this
institution to build up the education
of the masses in this section Of the
state, and pledge our support to
this institution in any future effort
that it may make for the promotion
of this cause.
2. That we appreciate the pro-
posed slight raise in salary that has
been offered Dy the County Board
of Education, and fully realize the
difficulties under which they labor
because of the lack .of sufficient
funds to operate the schools, but
this is not to be construed that we
are satisfied with present conditions,
or believe that present salaries are
just when compared with other lines
of work; and we would hereby
pledge ourselves to put forth our
best efforts, not from the standpoint
of selfishness, but for the cause of
civilization and the coming genera
tion, to work for an increase in funds
for elementary schools, so that the
services of the best teachers may be
retained for the children of this
county.
8. That we appreciate the past
work of J. M. Hatfield, the present
County Superintendent of Schools,
and that we recognize him as one of
the best county superlntendents in
the state, and know that he is so
recognized by others, and that we
urge him to become candidate for
reelection for this position, and
pledge him our unanimous and con-
tinued support.

SCRAPSO OF VERSE And PROSE
By Clara Cox Epperson

The loving sympathy of friends,
is the bridge that spans the bitter
gulf of sorrow, and gives us courage
to take up the gurdens on the other
side and go on with faith and hope.
In the time of great grief, over
burdened by the weight of sorrow, it
is much easier to give up, than to go
on.
One of the hardest things for those
in grief to do, is to take up the brok-
en- threads of love and go on weav-
ing tapestry of life through the
years, with the days of sorrow inter-
woven with good deeds, while the
the empty chair of the genial, much
loved host, and the heart is weighted
down with the ache for "the touch
of a vanished hand and the sound of
a voice that is still"
DR.. George Burman Foster in his
little book called 1.-THE Function of
Death" says:
'To be sure there are those who
sigh for death, but this is because
they they are dead before they die
because the values summed up in the
word life" have become valueless to
them, that death seems the better
portion" What a rest and refresh
ment for the weary and wounded
heart"
Ever and anon in the stress and
storm of life, let us think of death,
and this thought will be marvellous
cure for our whole beng"
Death is one Of the most fmpor-
tant factors, If not the most i'm
portant, of our existence, precisely
as important as. birth ITSELF"
"In natures everlasting alteration
of origination and decay death is the
great rejuvenator."
"Often lie seems SO confined and
moldy, like dark and stuffy room,
where we lie dreaming feverish
dreams, then the thought of death is
like window out of which we may
fly to cool the brow, and to see the
peaceful stars in the great, quiet,
pure, sacred night"
How good it is that there is a
night for our life, and not simply a
long endless day."
"Is it not good that there is not
simply a hot, clear day, but also a
still mysterious night with the eter-
nal stars shining in the beauty of the
blue above?"
I'VE could not endure the day
without the night, and we could not
endure life without death"
Death is not the last; it is only a
form of the development of life, not
the humiliation of life.'
Therefore death makes man
great"
For Oh, my friends, precisely the
greatness that flames forth in death
points beyond DEATH"

cannot let those that are loved cease
to be-"

IMPORTANT NOTICE

An important disease of potatoes
has made it's appearance in Pennsyl-
vania and it is possible that it may
be in other sections of the United
States. The disease is one for
which no remedy is known. If it
should be found widespread it will
threaten the potato industry of the
country
The disease is known as Potato
Wart. The diseased potatoes first
show small growths at the eyes;
these are light brown in color and
later spread in spongy masses, very
dark in color and very much like
roughened wart on the human badly.
The danger lies in the possibility
4 of the disease having been brought
into a garden or farm plot by using
seed that may have been just lit
tie diseased. Once the organism gets
into the soil it remains many years.
The only time to look for the trouble
is digging time.
Keep a sharp watch for warts on
potatoes and report any found to
Mr.. w. r. Rosson, County Agent,
Cookeville. Prevention is the object
rather than cure after disease be-
comes widespread.

A PARODY-THE PRODiGAL
FATHER

And he said: "a certain man had
two sons. And they said to their
father, Father, give us a portion of
your time, your fellowship, your
companionship, that belongeth to
us. And instead he sent them to
school and college, gave them money
to meet their expenses, also furnish
ed them mnoey that they might at
tend balls and parties, supposing
that he was thus discharging his du-
ty. And then the father gathered
together all the current copies of
commercial and financial magazines
giving him the information about
the rise and fall of stocks and bonds,
sothat he might make more money,
and took his journey into a far coun-
try, where his time was absorbed in
business, and wasted his companion
ship on things which dulled and
deadened his finer sensibilities. And
when he had thus spent all his time
and had grown old, there was a
famine in that land; and he began
to be in want of the fellowship of
his sons. Then he went and Joined
himself to the politicians of that
country, and. they sent him to be
mayor of the city, also elected him
director of the leading bank, for
he had promised to give all his time
to these affairs. And he would fain
have satisfied his mind and heart
with these husks, and no man nao
pity on him. And when he came
to himself, he said, There are men
who make friends and comrades of
their sons, while mine have been
denied that fellowship which be-
longeth to them, and perish with
heart hunger. l will arise and go
to my sons, and will say unto them,
Sons, l have sinned in denying you
my companionship and allowing you
to seek it elsewhere. I implore your
forgiveness, and ask that I may
have part Of your time."' And he
arose and came to his sons. But
when he was yet great way off,
they saw him, stunned him, and had
no compassion on him, for they felt
that they had been neglected by him
and now it was too late. And the
sons said unto him, Father, there
was a time when we needed your
fellowship and wanted a part of
your time, but you left us to seek
our friends elsewhere, and now we
no longer care for your association;
let us drink, play cards, dance, and
be merry And there was sadness
in the fathers heart over his folly"

OUTRAGEOUS CONDITIONS

Complete amnesty for all soldiers
sailors and marines convicted by
court-martial except those whose Of
fenses would be found felony un-
der Federal statutes were proposed
in bill introduced Monday by Sem
ator Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon,
and referred to the military commit
tee.
THE stories coming to me-" said
Senator Chamberlain in a statement
to the senate, many of them being
certified, of the outrages being COM
mitted against young men through
the instrumentality of court-martials
are so horrible that some legislation
ought to be acted upon promptly to
obtain relief. The fact that already
the clemency board has reduced the
sentences in the aggregate from 49,
900 years to $500 years is proof pos
tive that the sentences were out OF
all proportion to the crimes commit
ted. These six thousand years ought
to be wiped out or be placed a tan ir-
reducible minimum.
Il want the people to understand
the terror inflicted upon our young
men by these sentences and also the
cruelties practiced against them.
"The Spanish inquisition was not a
mark to some of the cruelties prac-
ticed against these soldiers in
France"
Senator Chamberlain referred to
the investigation Of cruelties being
made by a house committee and said
ne would discuss some cases OF cru

later date.

QUOTA OF FORD EAGLE
BOATS.

According to dispatches from Wash
ington New Orleans will be the base
of large fleet of eagle boats, which
are to be assigned to duty in the gulf,
and which will more than compensate
to the Naval Station here for its loss
Of the Wheeling, Castine, Sacramento.
and Machais. which were transferred
to other ports.
This fact was disclosed when Sena-
tors Randsdell and Gay and Represen-
tatives Dupre and O'Connor called up
on Acting Secretary Roosevelt and
Admiral Burrage of the Bureau OF
Operation Monday. The call was
made at the request of number of
interested organizations In the city.
The officials at Washington stated
there was no idea of closing the yard
here, but a reduction of forces in the
New Orleans yard would be necessary
as In all other places. They explained
that all the four small boats which had
been transferred from the port here
would be scrapped and no further re-
pairs would be made on them, so the
New Orleans yard lost nothing by
their removal.
