UP-TO-DATE TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY PROMISED

Criticisms OF the telephone serv-
ice received by the Public Utilities
Commission since the Chesapeake
and INtomac Telephone Co., has ask ed
for an increase in rates have included
many "kicks" because the company
has not published a directory for sew
eral months. scores OF people who
have subscribed to telephone service
in the last six months have not been
listed in the telephone book.
c. 4. Clagett, superintendent of
the Telephone Company said today
the reason for the lack OF a telephone
directory at the usual intervals was
that the company had been caught
in the shortage OF newsprint paper
and that 1t had been PHYSICALLY impos-
sible to print the book which would
ordinarily have been issued about the
first of March.
However, we have bought a suffi-
Cient supply of paper now for the
directory and II II in course of pub
liCation. l understand that we will
have it in about a month. l am sure
tho publication of the book will do
away with trouble the public is hav-
ing in getting conected with unlisted
subscribers. Our Information service

HOW TO BUILD, CARE FOR,
AND THE KIND OF PLANTS
TO RAISE IN YOUR HoTBED

Now is just the time to build
hotbeds and start plants and We
Igetables to meet the immediate
financial and food demands of the
summer. By the S of a hotbed
vegetables can be secured for the
table or the market from three TO
five weeks earlier than otherwise.
When sold, they come on an open
market, and bring about three
times as high a price as when in
competition with plants grown in
the open.
The plants most easily started
in hotbeds are: Tomatoes, egg
and pepper plants. Radishes and
lettuce may be economically grown
Ito maturity. After plants are re-
moved this bed makes an ideal
place for bedding sweet potatoes.
A southern exposure is to be
desired with low side of the bed
facing the sotuh. If this is not
convenient and practical, select
one getting as much as possible
the sun throughout the day. Use
high, well drained land, and keep
in mind that your convenience to
water is essential.
Dig the bed 18 inches deep. 6
feet wide and IL feet long. Build
a wooden frame around this 10
inches high on the lower side and
ia inches high on the upper side:
dig the bed so that there will be
a gradual slope to one corner, and
from this corner to the open have
a drain so that no water may ac-
cumulate and stand in bed. Place
clinkers or large gravel at the
bottom to a depth Of about 2 in
ches for drainage purposes. If
thinkers or gravel are not conven
lent, nail two harrow planks to-
gether like a V-shaped pig trough
and lay same with bottom side up
for drainage purposes. Then COW
er bottom with straw or leaves to
a depth of about 2 inches. This
organic matter makes the heat
more uniform and retains same
over a longer period of time.
Heat is made by the decompo-
sition of organic matter. To Sc
cure this, take a couple of two
horse loads of horse manure with
as much organic matter in same
as possible. Pile it in a close pack
in the middle of the bed, add enou
gh water to make it thoroly damp
and pack it well. Usually in from
about twenty-four to forty-eight
hours this same manure will reach
its maximum heat; then, it should

AS we find some politicians
who are trying to make the voters
of Tennessee believe that the PIE
sent tax law and the enforcement
of same is unconstitutional and
propose to come before the tax
payers with a howl" that the new
tax law is in favor of the rich
and against the small tax payer
when in fact it is just the reverse
if you want to think of it in thai
light-but, the truth of the matter
is, the tax payer who is ASSESSED
at low figures, as a rule, is as
sessed at near the cash value,
when, on the other hand, a man
who is worth from $4,000 to
100000 is assessed at from $4,000
to $4,000. For an example, a
taxpayer in Hamblen County had
been assessed atless than $4,000
when he had refused nearly one
hundred thousand dollars for one
of his farms. These are the fol
lows who claim they r the pore

upon by the new system of en-
forcement of assessment.

be spread out over the bed. packed
well and covered Immediately
with a soil containing a large
amount of decomposed organic
matter and sand, one that will re
tain a large amount of water for
a long time but will not bake.
This dirt should b epacked so
as to hold as much of the heat as
possible. In about twenty-four
hours the soil will be warm to
start termination.
The seed should be sown in rows
2 inches apart, running across

is best to cover the bed with stan
dard sash, or where glass is not
convenient with canvass that has
been dipped in oil, may be used.
Notice often to see that the
soil has not dried out to the depth
of the seed. During termination
and while the plants are very
young, the top of the soil should
be kept damp but not saturated.
Water the plants thoroly as soon
as they get to growing we'll, sat

ature, never allow the plants to 20
into night with wet foliage. Do
not water again until the ground
begins to get dry. This precaution
prevents "damping of fungus,
and insures a steady growth. As
the plants grow more soil should
be added among them to secure
a deeper root system. The plants
are made more hardy by trans
planting to cold frames or a god
corner of the garden where they
can be covered at night with sacks
or canvass to prevent frost kill
ing them.
A bed the size given above is
a paying proposition for any am
bilious boy. Local schbol teachers
can supervise the construction
and management of a hotbed in
connection with laboratory work.
The boys always become greatly
interested in this, and can make
a lot of money from the sale of
plants, as early plants that are
stocky and good always find a
ready market at fame yprices. A
bed this size will raise enough
plants, if properly managed to net

Why It Should BE Enforced

The legislature of 1919 did not
change the law in any respect in
80 far as the standard of assess
nents of property "at actual cash
value" is concerned. The code of
1853, section 564, is as follows:
IAN the property shall be asses
nsed at the sans value at which it
ought to be appraised in payment
of a just debt, in cash, due from
a solvent debtor. The thus stood
when the constitution Of 1870
was adopted, That Constitution
provides that all property shall be
taxed according to its value, that
value to be as~eertained in such
manner as the Legislature shall
direct, so that taxes shall be at
equal and uniform turnout the

The phrase actual cash value"
as applied to assessments so far
as has been ascertained, wa first
used by tn: legislature Of 1871.
in an act alr~oved by Gov. John
c. Brown, who was president of
the constitutional convention
which adopted the constitution Of
1870.
Various legislatures since that
date in their assessment bills, pro
vided that property should be as
sessed at its cash value; but the
legislature of 1895 Gov. Turney)
introduced into our system the
policy of having the county asses
sor make two affidavits, first to
swear before making his assess
ments that he would assess all
property lat its cash value and
then again to swear to his assess
ments after their completion that
he had assessed all property at
"its cash value" So solicitous was
the legislature that this law be
complied with in spirit as well as
in letter that this one public Off.
