EXCELLENT OPENING
AT PORTER HIGH

The fall term of the Porter High
School opened Monday, August 10,
with probably the largest enrolment
for the fall term in the history of
the school, an increase of 20Go over
the entrances for the first week last
year Others will be in this week.
The school year at Porter High is
divided into two terms: the fall
term consisting of four and one-half
months which closes this year De-
free to every Rlount County student.
three and one-half onths. For this
term some small charge will probably
have to be made.
1t is confidently believed that the
general working and management of
the Porter High School is about as
ideal as can be found anywhere.
The cooperation of the community,
boards, and faculty is about perfect.
Idleness at Porter High is reduced to
minimum; the school-room is a
place of busy and intensely interest
ing work-the mind of the teacher
acting on the mind of the pupil, the
spirit of the teacher acting on the
spirit of the pupil, the life of the
teacher acting on the life of the
pupil,-educating, training, and
developing each pupil into the highest
and best that life holds for him.
Only two changes have been made
in the faculty for this year. Miss
Una Haggard, who decided to spend
this year in Maryville College, is
succeeded by Miss Adah Howard as
head of the Department of History
and Music. Miss Howard is a
graduate from both the College and
Music Departments of Maryville Col
lege.' Miss Pearl Goddard who was
elected principal of the Mcconnell
School, is succeeded by Miss Beryl
Cochran as head of the Primary De-
partment of Porter High school.
Miss Cochran is a graduate Of the
Academic Department of the East
Tenn, State Normal school.
Professor Condry, Principal, pre-
diets that this will be the best year
for the school thus far. Also, that
the athletic teams will be strong,

Shapter, of New Brunswick, N. j.,
ana one brother, Lawrence Fitz-
hugh, of Maryville, Tenn.
Her passing away is a distinct
loss to the womanhood of the United
States, so noble and brilliant an ex-
ample of all that was high in mind,
and character, so splendid in appear
ance and charming in personality.
"She loved Kentucky, and only
last year came back to her native
State to pay the first honor of tax
ing the examination for the prac-
tice of the profession in which she
seemed destined for so lofty
place.
Her family will have, to comfort
them, the loveliest memory of her,
called away in the zenith of her
beauty and attainments.

WHY TWO MORE

Secretary Lane has the wrong idea about the Alaskan Engineering Com mission. Why have three members on the commission? Just put one broad minded railroad man on the commits sion. make him the power, tell him to build the railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. and if he does not dis charge him for inefficiency. Too many cooks spoil the boil dinner AlaskanS in this part of the territory have had enough of commissions. and besides these commissions eat up to much ot the appropriation. Secrstary Lane would do we'll to act upon the sugges- ton of J. l.. McPherson and Reprc' sentative Albert Johnson and reorgan' ize the commission and secure one competent head to complete the rail road.)

WASHINGTON. Aug. l. The House Territorial committee has fav- orabIy reported the bill appropriating seventeen million dollars for the Alas ka railroad.
 The Territories committee unani- mously approved the seventeen million dollar bill which provides for the com pletion of the road by December 3lst. 1922.
 Representative Dowell of Indiana rather sharply questioned Chairman Edes of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. Representative Dowel' claimed that the Engineering CommiS- sion was excess baggage and the work could proceed under the direction Of experts on the ground rather than un- der commission operating from Washington.
 Chairman Curry urged the unan- nous report on the bill for it's moral effect on those working on the rail road.
 Witnesses testified that the uncer- tainty about the money had lowered the morale of the forces at work and he said further that ifthe work stop ped. laborerS would leave Alaska cauS- ing harm to the enterprise.
 Several members of the committee thought that the relV"t should be de. layed until the congressman return from Alaska.
 When Chairman Edes was on the stand Representative Dowell asked him if he thought the failure to name two more commissioners had hindered the work.
 Chairman Curry struck the question out as Edes appeared reluctant to ans wer as he might criticise the appoint ing power of Assistant Secretary Hall owel.
 Edes said there had been no slow ing down of the railroad work until after his physical breakdown.
 Former commissioner Frederick Mears testified that the enterprise had been handicapped by uncertainty of the appropriations and said that it would help greatly if the appropria- tions were available on January 1sr instead of June 1st.
 Among the members of the House appropriations or territories commit tee leaving tomorrow night for Seat tie, thence to Alaska to inspect the work on the government railroad are the following:
 Albert Johnson. Republican, of Washington.
 Edw. S. Brooks. Republican. of Pennsylvania.
 J.. C.. Strong. Republican of Kansas.

its surplus stock these blankets were thrown ON

no sense attempting merely TO underse the govern
ment and start price-cuttine war such as is now
going on in food products. We are selling the
blankets at just the normal rate Of profit announced
by the government in its quotations to the public
on large lots.
The opportunity offered by the government in
selling its surplus stocks under cost is a wonder
full boon to the people these days when prices are
SO high, and we not only join with the movement
wherever the manufacturers prices allow US but
we urge the public to inspect the government
blankets and buy what it can use-buy ahead for
future needs getting them either here or at the
governments local market

They come singIy and not in pairs, but they

And what do you think is the retail price to-

the pair only weighing pounds?
They sell at SIG and scarce at that!
Yet offer these all-woo blankets at $3.50.
How can we do it?
