1t is the opinion of those best
informed on the subject that Gov
ernment bonds decline as commod-
tiles coup and rise as commodities
fall. 1t is also the opinion of bus
mess men that we are approaching
period of declining prices and,
consequently. a time when the
market price of bonds will advance.
The present, therefore, is the day
Of opportunity for the investor.

SOME FACTS
AND FIGURES

The County Board of'Equalizefs
concluded their-work last week and
adjourned Thursday. Men from
nearly every district in the county
came before the board for the pur-
pose of adjusting the tax value of
their lands. They were given a
patient hearing and full informa-
tion on the tax and assessment
laws adopted by the last General
Assembly of Tennessee.
Those who"have carefully exam
ined the plan and looked into the
smatter are favorably impressed
with the tax law, but many are
sore when it comes to the system
adopted to reach the assessment.
The purpose of the assessment law
is to comply with the Constitution
of the Commonwealth and give
every land owner square deal.
Some seem to think their assess
ment is too high, and this may be
true. 1T will take time to adjust
these matters, aud those who are
not satisfied have the privilege of
taking up the matter with the State
Board of EQualizers. Following
is the assessment by districts:

'5lOnal District, Hon. 4. w. Sims
makes formal and legal announce
ment of his candidecyfor the Dem
ocratic nomination. for Congress in
the legalized primary to be held
August-5, 1920.
He is now serving his twenty.
fourth year in Congress. Only
one member of the Sixty.sixth
Congress has had a longer contin-
uous service, and that member is
the Speaker of the House. Only
two other mem bers, Mr.. Cannon
and Mr.. Champ CLARK, have had a
longer, but not continuous SER
vice, and each has been Speaker.
With this formal announcement
it istftting and proper to give at
least a brief statement of Mr.. Sims
record of service i'll Congress, i'm
mediately prior to, during and
since the great war.
When the great world war came
'on, as vice chairman of the COM
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, Mr.. Sims had active
personal charge Of thes hearings
end,fnal preparation of that great
constructive war measure known
as the War RisktInsurance Act.
This great measure provided not
alone for insurance for our soldiers
and sailors at the lowest rate of
premium ever charged for life in
surance either in war or peace, but
also provided for the payment of
allottments aud 'sllowances to the
family~end relatives dependent on
him, III whole or in, part, for sup
port. This act also provided for
the payment of compensation to
the soldier or sailor for. any injury
received by him while in active
service, also for hospital treatment
in case of illness.
Mr.. Sims, while chairman of the
committee ont Interstate and For
eign Commerce, secured the pas
sage of a number Of bills amend
ing the act so as to further extend
its beneficial provisions. Further
liberalizing amendments to this
act are needed and advocated by
Ishim, than whom sthere is no other
member of the House better quail
fled to secure these needed addi-
tioBal amendments.
While active hostilities have
ceased and to that extent the wal
is over, the absolutely necessary
constructive legislation that must
be had, growing out of and caused
by the war, is not .fnished-indeed
it has hardly begun. Mr.. Sims is
e veteran, both in prowar, war and
postwar legislation. Postwar leg.
islation is no less important and nc
less necessary than was war legis.
lation during actual hostilities, il
the hopes and purposes of the wal
are to be realized.
Mr.. Sims showed himself equal
to the task while the war was fla.
grant aud met all demands arising
out of actual war conditions; we
submit that there can be no good
reason given why'he should now be
set aside and displaced while the
whole great National and inter.
national postwar program Of legis.
lation is not completed.
As last word the friends and
supporters of Mr.. Sims insist thai
in the interest of the exsoldiers
their relatives and dependents thai
he should be returned 10 the mex
Congress. They insist that as al
expression of their gratitude fol
,whst'te-has already done for them

MAKES AN APPEAL
FOR COOPERATION
ROAD COMMISSION WANTS ciTi.
ZENS TO AID IN ORGANIZING
WORKING CREWS.

Through Chairman John II. Muir
ply, the road commission is today in
viting the submission of propositions
from the citizens for the organization
of gangs or crews for work on the
highways of the county. The commits
sion asked, as required by law, for
bids under the contract system. 1t
did not get any. 1t is now forced to
work the roads under it's own direct
supervision, but it cannot of course
do this without labor. That can be
furnished alone by the people who are
directly interested in the roads, and
their upkeep. In some sections and
on some roads arrangements have al
ready been made to start these crews
But so far in many sections of the
county the people have shown a lack
of interest. The commission is ex-
ceedingly anxious to get to work on
all of the principal roads without de-
lay. To this end it appeals to the
citizens directly interested to give it
assistance.

COOPERATIVE PLAN
BRINGS BIG RETURNS

In a Connecticut town, recently
two cars of grain were being unload
ed on the siding; one by the cooper
alive association, and the other by the
local dealer.
The farmers unloading from the CO.
operative association car were paying.
for identically the same brand OF grain
seven dollars per ton less than the
farmers unloading from the dealers
car. The only difference was that
the farmers paid cash to the cooper
alive association, and from the deal
ers they secured thirty days credit
The farmers paid seven dollars for
the use of sixty dollars for one month
This was interest at the rate OF twelve
per cent per month or one hundred
and forty-four per cent per year.
Instances of this kind are interest
ing in that they help explain the
growth of farmers cooperative enter
prises in some sections.

Quoting the crusade.
County Agent Mclean says that his

He feels sure that when the crusade
comes to a close Saturday afternoon,
agreements will have been secured
from the owners of practically every
scrub sire to replace them with pure
hreds.

AGRICuL TuRAL SHORT
COURSE IS SUCCESS
STUDENTS FROM MANY STATES
ENROLLED, AND WORK is THOR
OUGHLY ENJOYED.

The goth annual short course in
agriculture which is being held at the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
is a great success. 1t is well attend
ed and the instructors say that the
interest is splendid in all classes.
The instructors consist of members
from the faculty Of the University,
specialists from the Division of Elk
tension and members of the Expert.
ment Station, with out of town speak
ers who come to the University to
give lectures on special subjects Ev-
cry subject is taken up in the course
that deals with practical agriculture
in Tennessee. rs
The students are enrolled from Ken,
lucky, Mississippi, Virginia, New York
and all parts of Tennessee. One
very noticeable fact is the range in
age of the students They range from
high school boys and girls Of fourteen
and fifteen years of age, to much old
er men and women. The fact is very
plain that good Tennessee farmers
never consider themselves too old to
learn. Others are starting the young
farm girls and boys along the right
lines early in life.

work put into it, but many pleasures
have been mixed in with it. Mrs.
Lockett entertained all members of
the course and the instructors; the
women gave a dinner at Tennessee
Hall for the women instructors. In
addition to purely social affairs the
short trips made to nearby farms,
dairys. and packing houses, all of
which are highly instructive to the
students have been very enjoyable
socially. The members were enabled
to become we'll acquainted. The wom-
EN- made very interesting trip to
Straw Plains to visit and look over the
club house there 1t is an excellent
example of community club. Miss
Mayme PARROT has practically made
the club what it is thru her own work
and at her own expense. However, the
county home demonstration agent,
Miss Ruble, has always been ready
with advice and help for Miss Parrott
The State does not possess a better

SCHOOL SITUATION
WAS NEVER Be tier

Schools of the county are generally
doing splendid work and the term has
been one of the most successful they
ever had, said County Superintendent
Graham to the county board of educa
ton this morning. So far no school
in the county has had to close because
of sickness or the weather, which is
rather unusual as more than three
fourths of the terms of the elemental
flu has so far been reported in any of
the schools. The attendance in pro-
portion to enrolment will probably es-
tablish new record for the county.
