Wilson succeeded in "Mexicanizing"

Wilson did not lead America into

participate. Wilson's conceptions re-

HoLsTEIN LOOKS LIKE A WINNER

Up to the present time Major Fred Holstein,
OF Burlington, appears to be the most active
candidate for the republican congressional
nomination In the first district. He announced
his candidacy several months ago and since that
time has been pledged support from many of the
prominent members Of the party in all parts of
the district. He looms SO large as probable
winner IN the primary that no others have
heart to oppose him aggressively in contest for
the nomination. 1t would seem that Major Hol-
stein has so many Of the party workers interest
sd in his candidacy that he is assured of the
nomination.

The Story Of Johann Sebasrisu Bach.
Written by Margaret Darwin,
Feb. 3, 1920.

Written by Margaret Darwin,
Feb. 3, 1920.
Johann Sebastian Bach was
born in Eisenach Germany in
1885.
When he was old enough he
went out to sing in the streets.
his purpose was to hear fine
organ players.
When Sebastian was ten years
old his father and mother died.
He then went to live with his
brother He had music lessons
under him.
He improved so rapidly he
begged to be allowed to play the
pieces in a big book in the libra
ry. but his brother refused him
this pleasure. so on moonlight
nights he would sit up and copy
the pages while his brother was
asleep. lust as he had gotten it
all copied his brother found out
what he was doing and took all
his music away from him.
This was great disappotnt-
ment to little Sebastian.
Frederick the Great was also d
musician and composer. He in
| vited Sebastian Bach to visit him
at his castle. There were many
people present. but Sebastian
Bach was the principal guest.
He played on many of the EN-.
peror's fine pianos. When he
went home he composed musi'

SHORT COURSE OF ACRI-
CULTURE GREAT BENE-
FIT TO FARMERS.

The 10th annual short course
in agriculture which is being
held at the University of Tennes-
see, Knoxville, is great success.
1t is well attended and the in
structors say that the interest is
splendid in all classes. The IN
structors consist of members
from the faculty of the Univer-
sity; specialists from the Division
of Extension and members Of
the Experiment Station, with
out of town speakers who come
to the University to give lectures
on special subjects. Every sub
ject is taken up in the course
that deals with practical agrlcul-
ture in Tennessee.
The students are enrolled from
Kentucky. Mississippi, Virginia,
New York ard all parts Of Ten
nessee. 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
older men and women. The fact
is very plain that good Tennes-
see farmers never consider them
selves too old to learn. Others
are starting the young farm boys
and girls along the right lines
early in life.
The course has had plenty of
good work put into it, but many
pleasures have been mixed in
with it. Mrs. Lockett enter
tained 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 and
have been very enjoyable sacial-
". The members were enabled
to become we'll acquainted. The
women made very interesting
trip to Straw Plains to visit and
look over the club house there.
It is an excellent example of a
community club. Miss Mayme
Parrott has practically made the
club what it is thru her own
work and at her own expense.
However, the county home de-
monstration agent Miss Ruble,
has always been ready with ad-
vice and help for Miss Parrott.
The State does not possess bet
fer. modern community club.

VIRUS PERMIT HOLDERS
URGER TO LOOK AFT
Err HOG CHOLERA.

The season of the year is now
arriving when Hog Cholera in
Tennessee usually appears most
prevalent. This communication
is therefore being directed to the
Official Virus Permit Holders,
with the request that each and
every one give thorough and eff
cient cooperption in the control
and eradication of this disease.
Do not lose sight of the fact
that when YOU were granted q
permit, you in reality became q
member Of our Cholera Control
Force and with the expectation
that you would give every rea-
sonable assistance in combating
this plague. Publicity is urged
for the following suggestions.
|. If Cholera appears in the
community, all sick or exposed
herds should be vaccinated.
2. All sick or recently treat
ed herds should be held in abso-
lutte quarantine and should not
be permitted to run at large nor
have access to public highways.
3. The carcasses of all hogs
dying from disease should be
burned on the premises immedi-
ately.
A. Ii Cholera appears on any
farm, the people in the immedi-
ate neighborhood should be mott
fled so that they may properly
protect their own hogs.
s. If hogs are sick or dying,
the nature of the disease should
be determined as quickly as pos
|sible.
6. In vaccinating, the tenn
perature of every animal should
be taken and the Technique
(method of treatment) adopted
by the Cholera Control Division
as a standard should be carried
out as carefully as possible.
Careless methods in vaccination
is sufficient cause for the revok-
ing of Virus Permits.
Z. Hogs should be properly
cared for after vaccination and
should be fed very lightly for at
least two weeks.
s, If trouble among hogs ex-
ist in your community and is not
being properly handled. commun.
icate with this Office Immediate

New Assessment Will In
crease Revenue For All
Schools Is Per Cent.

The state, school revenues will
be increased about 10 per cent,
by the new assessment law, ac-
carding to Albert Williams, sup
erintendent of education,
However. the entire school
revenue fund will be increased
about 25 per cent this year on
account of the revenue bill and
and the operation Of the state
wide school tax of 5 cents passed
by the last Legislature.
In speaking of the sshool re-
venue for l9l0-20, Mr.. Williams
said
State school revenues for
l9l0-20 will probably show an in
crease of about rs per cent.
This increase, however, does not
result merely from the assess
ment law now being put in oper-
alton, but chiefly from the state
wide school taz of 5 cents. pass
ed almost unanimously by the
last General Assembly. This tax
is to be used solely for elemen-
tary schools
The increase in school funds
resulting from the assessment
will not be more
than 10 per cent, Since 1918
one. third of the states gross re
ceipts has been devoted to school
purposes so that if the total re-
venues of the state are increas-
ed the school fund will be aug
mented in just the same proper
ton.
Reports from the statisticians
Office indicate that a great deal
of property hitherto unassessed.
is being found. and, of course.
the schools will receive one-third
of whatever revenues may be de.
rived from the taxation of this
hitherto unassessed property. In
one city | am told that the whole
side of the public square had
never found place on the tax
books. Under the new assess
ment law, however, we cannot
expect more than a 10 per cent
increase for as soon as the total
assessment reaches 5000. 600, 900
the sliding scale begins to work
and the rates fall just as fast as
the assessment rises.
The chief benefit received by
the schools from the operation Of
this law is indirect. Heretofore
when counties were assessed
each at the whim of its own as
SCISSOR a state tax worked a man.
ifest injustice to those counties
whose assessment was above the
normal line and nearest their
tue values. 1t was hard to ask
these counties to support a state
school tax when they knew that
a man with a farm in a county
assessed at one-half its value
would pay five times as much of
such a tax as a man with a farm
of exactly the same worth locat-
ed in county whose assessment
was one-tenth its actual value.
If this objection can be ramoved
by the operation of the new law
the fairness of a state school tax
cannot be assailed and the state
can be regarded fairly as a tax
ing unit for educational pur'
poses.
