He was humbly brought to his

He pied with Gus with all his

To enlist and prepare to fight

We hope and have reasons to be-
lieve, the Court will kindly grant
our request, the granting of which
would empower US with an oppor-
tunity to compete with our sister
counties, and make our girls feel
that they, too, m worthy and are
entitled to every opportunity of
advancement we could give them.
As other counties are doing for
their women and girls.
The granting of the appropria-
tons would give US a Fair, and an
opportunity to display our WORK
The county fair in itself Is edu-
cational and an incentive to better
work, and an inspiration to do our

CARD FROM
mrs. JARNACIN

To the Granger County News:
The time is drawing near when
the womn and girls of Granger
County should become much in
terested in securing for them
selves a home demonstration, and
thus continue the cultural work
Of Home Demonstration, a work
now justly recognized as one Of
the arts. The beginning of this
work in Granger County was two
years ago, When the Division Of
Extension gave our county the
work Of a demonstration for osix
months; the latter part of the year
and extending into the second
year, our county court generous
~ appropriated four hundred
dollars: the Division of Extension
giving q like amount, thereby en-
aiding all the girls and women
who availed themselves Of the
rare opportunity to receive eight
months Of this uplifting educa-
tionai work. We, the women and
girls Of Granger county. wish to
express our appreciation of the
courts proceeding, and We take
this opportunity to thank the court
again for their cooperation.
After the Court gave US the al
lotment, we were fortunate in OBJ
tanning the capable Miss Tilda
Adsmond, who has endared her
self to all with whom she labored
and it was with great reluctancy
and a degree Of sadness that we
gave her up to take all all year
round employment elsewhere-
an engagement which she richly
deserves. Miss Adsmond's work
was worthy of the recognition ano
the kindest consideration of every
citizen of the county.
Though our County Court-the
staff, the prop, the very backbone
of a County's thrift and progress
did not see its way clear to help
us last year, this work was thrlv-
ing too we'll to be allowed to die
Greatly sustained by the enthusl'
asm of Miss Margaret Ambrose
District Agent, the tireless, eff
Gent efforts of Mrs, A. NJ. Nance
bore fruit. Mrs. Nance, Who pr9c-
tically. though not nominally,
was head of the head Of the work
and it is but just to Mrs. Nance
to recognize the fact that it was
due to her efforts and heartfelt
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1920-03-31

interest that the cause was kept
growing, and her efforts deserve
commentator.
Right here allow a slight digres-
sion-to state that Mrs. Nance
has ever shown a spirit of enthus-
iastic interest, a desire to serve,
in j nall public elevating plans for
the betterment of humanity.
In 1917 and 1918 Mrs. Nance
was chosen chairman of the Red
Cross Auxiliary, with auxiliary
headquarters at Rutledge. She or
ganized community clubs for knit
ting, etc, and was the leader Of
all drives put on in the county
during cur share in the Worlds
War. These Community clubs
proved to be an incentive "a start
toward a higher, more impartial
service, and realizing the truth
of the old saying Charity begins
at home", We felt We must do for
our own boys first. The fact Of
our home boys as soldiers in need
of warm sweaters and socks, open
cd many heart otherwise closed to
the appeal of humanity. The Red
Cross Effort vas en- incentive and
many were ready for the exten
sion work when it began.
During the year our Court failed
to aid us-the lapse, as mentioned
sbove-was not allowed to stop
the work, and the Government ap-
preparation was retained by the
tireless zeal of the vice-chairman
Mrs. A. NJ. Nance, VINO solicited
private subscriptions and made it
possible to keep the Home Dem
onstrator last year.
This is a, good time to again
thank our friends for money and
encouragement, and particularly
the gentlemen who came to our
relief so tremendously with liber,
al contributions.
Truly what blesses all. The
amount requested of the Court, If
granted, would cost each taxpayer
q small amount and would bring
into the County the same sum OF
the United States Government and
the Demonstration spends the
greater part OF this in the County.
This being a rural county, no
very large towns, and a large
mountain running nearly the
length of the county, the people
are reached by journeys from one
club to another, and at times the
roads are bad; SO 81 xor eight
months service of a Home Demon
stratcr would be sufficient for the
present.

IN MEMORY OF OUR DE.
PARTED SAILORS

We regretted so much TO see

Middle West predicted today, With
the removal of federal regulation of

COAL PRICES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE
BUT PROFITEERNG TO BE HELD IN CHECK
By The Golden Rule
not BY The rule of Gold

WASHINGTON, d. c., April b.
Attorney General Palmer today issued
orders 10 an federal district attorney,
10 take steps 10 check proiiteering in
coal which may arise out of the fact
that restrictions upon coal prices by
the government have been removed.
Palmer instructed all district at
t0rneys 10 receive and give immedi-
ate consideration of all complaints by
the public of proiileering among coal
dealers. This action was taken im-
mediately after a flood of complaints
reached the department, The gt-
torney general held that advances of
bituminous coal ranging from $3.50
10 two dollars per tom we're miusti-
fable. lie instructed ths federal dis
trict attorneys that in consideration
Of these cases an increase Ui only
forty cents ton was Justified in the
circumstances, even II the entire wage
advance granted to the miners was
shifted 10 the consumer. His letter
reads:
"Now that government regulations
OF prices have been discontinued,
there are indications of an excessive
increase in the price of bituminous
coal. Our total annual production is
approximately 50O,0O0,OOO tons. II is
estimated that the total increase in
wages will be approximately $780,
100000 per annum. III this entire
amount is added by the operators TO
the price il would only make an in
crease of forty cents per ton. If, how
ever, the operators absorb the IA per
cent increase which became effective
in December, there wlll be left only
S96,00O,0O0 TO be passed on 10 the
consumer, In this event the increase
of the price of coal at the thine would
amount TO twenty cents ton.
81 understand that am exaggerated
estimate of the demand for export
coal is affecting the market price
particularly from Illinois east, thit

demand having been estimated at ~
much as lOO,0OO,OOO tons. But / am
advised that our port facilities are
only adequate for the export of 3d.
100000 tons per annum, that is 10
say only q per cent of our total pro-
duction, This should not be taken MS
an excuse for raising the price for
domestic coal consumption. II is
probable that normal conditions will
shortly be restored and fair prices
will follow. In the meantime, place
receive and consider complaints of
profiteerng which may arise in your
district under the Lever act -
Palmer is believed To be acting in
line with the statement of President
Wilson, who in notifying operators of
the renewal of price regulations,
warned them that effective measures
would be taken TO prevent profiteer-
ing.
