Chinese Schools in lava
Established With Hope of

In the hone OF preserving n knowl-

Kuan schools were established in

the youth Of the land. The schools
are thoroughly mOderniZed and a

European languages, geography, his
tory and n score of other things UNI
der competent instructors, so long as
Chinese is studied at the same time.
AS further inducement to attend
ance, all Chinese instruction is ear
ried on in the mandarin, or official,
Chinese language, so that any student
who returns TO China will be prepared
to talk to the educated of all prov
inces and will not be confined TO
petty boundaries of Gny of the numer-
Gus Southern dialects. Chinese, howN
ever, gets little attention from the

Chipmunk Stores Plenty
of Food for Winter Use

The chipmunk Is a prOvident little
chap, and stores up a prodigious guam
tity of food. sometimes a peck or more
of nuts and grain; and when snugly
hidden In his winding burrow. the
mouth Of which he closes when tho
cold season arrives, = hard winter has
no terrors for him. His enemies, the
hawks, owls and weasels, may go hum
cry. but safe in the bosom Of mother
earth, with the warm mantle Of the
snow above him, the chipmunk passes
a cosy winter, in the midst of conn.,
fort and plenty, dreaming of the time,
when the south wind shall blow again
and the squirrel cups shall open once
more.-BOys' Life. I,

Way to Reduce
is to Reduce!

Much of the talk about price
reduction is merely a mental
fumbling round for some excuse
to postpone the reduction. There
are no two ways about it: the
wav to reduce prices is to reduce
them and the ones to begin the
reduction arethe ones VINO began
the increase. Leaders must lead
the procession both ways, going
up as we'll as coming down. or
their leadership may be called
into question. From a purely
human point of view, the burden
of any peliod of change ought to
be borne bv those most able to
bear it. Losses always follow
wrong economic conditions, just
as gains accrue during wrong eco
nomic conditions; those must en-.
dure the Que who have enjoyed
the other. And it is not loss at
that; it is wise investment

Double Track Nor

Will Cost Millions

Washington, Dec. Tt is learned
on good authority here that the
Southern Railway will double track
its line between Asheville and Nor
ristown, Tenn, a distance of approx.
imately 90 miles.
While it was not possible to get
official confirmation of the story To-
day the information that plans have
been made for the double tracking
was gained from reliable sources and
it is expected that official announce
ment will be made in a short time.
Actual work will probably not begin
before spring as it is not possible to
do muc reconstruction work during
the winter.
The Southern Railway has contem-
plated ,double-tracking the Asheville-
Morristown line for several years but
this, as we'll as all other construction
not absolutely necessary was sus-
pended during the war as was the
case with all the railroads in the
country. Not even yet have many

LAST MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 7.-Calling at
tention to the fact that the United
States is the sample of democracy
of the world" and as such is con-
stantly under the scrutiny of the
world, President Wilson in his last
congressional message today urged
upon congress the duty of making
this. nation the champion of right
and justice in the worlds affairs.
"Only by rectifying the wrongs
within our own borders and cham
pioning the right wherever it is in
danger" President Wilson pointed
out, can the United States fulfill its
destiny and keep faith with the faith
ers of the republic.
The Presidents message made nu
mention of the league Of nations nor
any international aspect in particu-
lar. 1t was short message and
more than half of it was devoted
to domestic affairs.
At the last moment President
Wilson yielded to the wishes Of his
physician and ddi not attempt to GO
to the capitol and deliver the mes
sage in person before joint ses-
sion of the two houses. Instead, a
few minutes before noon the mes
sage was transmitted to each house
separately and there was read to the
members.
President Wilson began his mes
sage with this quotation from Lin.
coin: "Let us have faith that right
makes might and in that faith let
us dare do our duty as we under
stand it," The simple faith ex-
pressed in Lincoln's words formed
the gist of the entire document
There was no reference to to the tu-
multuous closing days of his own ad-
ministration nor the incoming repub-
lican administration on next March
the fouth.
President Wilson insisted upon
reading his last message to congress:
up to within a few minutes before
the document was sent to the capi
tol, DIR. Grayson stated this morn
ing.
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1920-12-08

Traffic over the Asheville- Norris
town line has for many years been so
heavy that it has not been able to
handle it with a single track, and the
construction of the double-track is
only what the road officials have
known they would some day have
to do.
The advantages that will come
from this piece Of work are obvious.
1t not only will enable the Southern
to handle a great many more trains
over this line than is now being done
but it means that the railroad will
be able to maintain better sched-
ules. With the line double-tracked
and the west-bound trains using one
and the east-bound trains the other
tracks, the delays that come from
one train standing on a siding to
await the passing of another will be
eliminated and better passenger as
we'll rs heavier freight service will
be possible.
The Southern Railways main line
from Washington to Atlanta is al
ready double-tracked and on Ashe-
ville-Knoxville line there is double
track between Morristown and Knox
file, a distance of AZ miles. The
entire distance between Knoxville
and Asheville is about 1872 miles.
From Morristown to Bristol, the
Southern has but a single track, like
that between Morristown and Ashe-
vile. From Bristol to Roanoke, the
Southern's trains are handled over
the Norfolk and Western. With
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1920-12-08

railroads undertaken very much new
work, because of the uncertain con-
ditions prevailing throughout the
country, especially with the transpor-
tation systems. This piece of double
track work therefore, will be one of
the first as we'll as one of the biggest
new pieces of work undertaken by
any rairload in the United States
since prior to Americas entry into
the world war.
To Cost Millions
1t is not possible to get an esti-
mate of the cost of the proposed
double-track undertaking, but it of
course will be many millions of dol
lars. The nature of the country
the Asheville, ,Morristown line ira
verses is such that much eXcavating
and grading will have to be done,
though the cost will be nothing
comparable with what it would be to
build a new line. However, along
the French Broad river which the line
parallels virtually the entire distance
from Asheville to Newport, Tenn, ii
will be necessary to do much exca-
waiting. The roadbed for a great
part of this distance is built along
cut in the side of the mountain
and it will, of course, be necessary
to widen this cut very materially to
admit of laying a second track. Blu,
it is also true that there are many
miles of sidings in the Morristown.
Asheville line which will reduce the
amount of work to be done by tina,
amount.
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1920-12-08

the Southern's line double-tracked
between Washington, Knoxville,
Chattanooga and Memphis by way Of
Norfolk and Western and Bristol will
be handled over the main line be-
tween Washington and Salisbury and
thence by way of Asheville because
the doulbe-track will admit of the
handling of more trains than is now
possible.
! 1t is not possible to estimate the
benefit that will come to the section
traversed by the Asheville-Morris-
town line by this piece of construc-
ton work at this time, because it il,
of course means the expenditure of
many millions of dollars and the en-
ployment of thousands of laborers.
