MANY ItOAFERS FOUND IN MIN
NESOEA FIOCKS

One third to one-half Of the fowls IN
many Minnesota farm docks are not
paying for their keep. This is the re-
port brought back to University Farm
by Miss Annabell Campbell, poultry
specialist in the office of extension
work with women. The agricultural ex-
tension >division Of the state universlty
is aiding a state wide poultry .culling
demonstration campaign launched by
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. N. e. Chapman, poultry exten-
sionist from University Farm, and G. E.
Brown Of the Northwest School OF Ag-
riculture at Crookston, are also in the
aeld. Mr.. Chapman estimates that it
is worth $50 to every flock Of 100 which
is oulled, in the increased production OF
eexs and the saving made in the feed FEED
bill. The culling demonstrations will
be continued through September and
October until the state Is fairly well
"combed." The extensionists are
stimulating interest in poultry house
building and remodeling and ind that
much work of this kind will be done
before the time comes to put the Hooks
into winter quarters.

Now Is the Accepted Time

To get your slice of this wonderful melon of op-
portunity, before the great influx that is sure to
come with the opening of train service.
Whether as business investment or site for a
home location you can't do better than in the
new townsite of Slick

Transportation Facilities

BY the 18th of June regular train service will
be established on the new Oklahoma South
western railway between Bristow and Slick
The grade into Slick is now practically com
pleted and the work of laying the new 90-pound
steel rail is quickly advancing. Construction of
the remaining section between Slick and Okmul-
gee will be pushed as rapidly as possible, thus
affording excellent transportation facilities for
further development and marketing of the agri-
cultural and mineral resources

Here's How They Know It'll Be Regular Modern City
Location and Surface Resources

The townste of Slick is situated in the heart Of
Oklahoma's richest agricultural district. The
surrounding farm lands produce a bale of cot
ton to the acre and other Oklahoma products in
proportion. The agricultural possibilities of ad-
jacent lands is sufficient to support city Of
10000. An altitude of TAO feet above sea level
assures perfect sanitation and healthful atmos-
phere.

Mineral Resources

The added wealth (vertible streams of wealthy
afforded in mineral resources, assures beyond
all doubt, the wisdom of investing in Slick.
Hundreds of derricks are now up and producing
wells are being opened daily. Surrounding
Slick lies the Slick oil field, including the Tabor
tract of 5000 proven acres and adjoined by the
Russell pool Of 1000 proven acres, all of which
are only in the first stage of development.

STATE HIGHWAY TO
BE BUILT ROUTE
CHOSEN BY COURT
State Highway Engineer Says
County's Wishes viii be
Deferred to in Matter

that no matter how the road runs, the
company will favor it.
The road will join the city limits
so that it will enter Maryville at the
end Of the paved street at the M. E,
church, said Mr.. Moore, as he knew
of no other way the town could be
entered. If the road passes through
Alcoa and Maryville, these towns will
have to build the connecting links
within the corporate limits, said he.
The county court has been called
to meet Saturday morning by Judge
McReynolds to act on the matter.
He said that as chairman of the court
the court wants to build the road
along the route that will be most ad-
vantageous to the largest number,
of people, and this is the object they
have in mind without antagonizing
any one, and that this idea will pre-
dominate in fixing the route.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout and it was the judgment
of everyone who spoke that the
county wants to cooperate with the
state and federal governments in
building the road along the route that
will be most advantageous to the
entire county.

BE COURTEOUS ON
PHONE; WILL HELP

The new board of control of the
Peoples Phone Exchange, comprised
of B. L. Glascock, w. L. Webster and
J. A. McNutt is anxious that the users
of this phone have the best service
possible. 1t has been suggested by
them, as we'll as by the manager, Mr..
Huffstetler, that if more courtesy
will be shown the operators better
service can be had. By antagonizing
the operators they assert that it
makes them incapable of doing salts
factory work for being talked mean
to inspires the same kind of treat
ment in turn, and will not effect the
best results. Mr.. Huffstetler asserts
that new girls have been put on the
boards recently but with a little
patience on the part of the users of
the phone, these girls will soon be-
come efficient in their work and tip
top service can be had. The purpose
of the board and management is to
develop the best service possible, and
there has been noticeable improve
ment in the service in recent weeks.
Mr.. Huffstetler was reelected
manager for the year at meeting Of
the new board few days ago.

BLOUNT STILL
HAS A CHANCE
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
HOLDS OPENING UNTIL AFTER
APRIL COURT
THIS COUNTY SHOULD TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNI-
TY TO FIGHT DISEASE

In the hope that Blount county will
offer cooperation thru the county
court at the April term the State
Board of Health has agreed to reserve
unit until that time and to place
any work arranged for under the
direction of Dr. K. A. Bryant, who
was in charge here during the pre-
vious campaign.
This action is a real concession to
the county, in view of the interest
manifested by other counties,
Smith, a middle Tennessee county
only 10000 population, has appro-
priated a total of $500 for this
work.
Montgomery, another middle Tenn
essee county with about the same
population, has raised $4,000 to insure
the placing of unit there in April.
Two west Tennessee counties have
provided funds for a years work.
No one of these counties has a
higher death rate from typhoid fever
than Blount, and in no one of them
is the problem of soil pollution
disease more urgent.
The problem of Blount county is
further complicated by the fact that
i is rapidly increasing its population
without increasing activity in the
matter of disease prevention. Such
a condition can only result in a higher
incidence of communicable disease
and higher percentage of prevent
able deaths.
Do we want such unfavorable ad-
vertisement, or shall we endeavor to
deal with the problem in an effectual
way and with cooperation by which
about two-thirds of the expense is
forne from other sources than county
funds?
Shall it pc said that Blount county
cares less than other counties for the
lives q Glhealth of it's men and wog
men, or For the welfare of it's limo
cent babies and children.
We are well aware that many de-
mands are made on the county funds,
pat we pelieve there is no better way
to assure the meeting of these de
mands than by efficient expenditures
for health protection; for health is of
course fundamental to prosperity.
The expenditure recommended by
the State Board of Health, and whicI
it is prepared to double, is about the
cost of an average bridge. Is it no
permissible to use that much tc
bridge the chasm of preventablc
disease for those who must otherwist
be the victims of unnecessary deatl
and sickness? Surely the answer is
"Yesw.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

The session met at the manse on
Tuesday night with the pastor, DIR.
Graham.
The subject of the Wednesday
night prayer meeting was "Hesitancy
in doing personal work"
The choir will meet on Thursday
night at seven o'clock at Mrs. Mays
500 Court st.
The general business meeting of
the Women's League will be held
Thursday afternoon at 2:30 in the
church parlors. The officers of the
League for the ensuing year will be
elected, and a full attendance of
members is desired This meeting
will close the work of the first year
of the League, and demonstrate be-
yond doubt, the added efficiency of
the women when united in one we'll
organized body. The League is in
debted to Mrs. Clay Cunningham, the
resident, Mrs. Sam McMurray, secre-
tary, and Miss Molly Gamble for
their unselfsh and untiring labors
throughout the past year, which
enables them to close the year with
all pledges met, and money in the
treasury, as well as a new vision of
the magnitude of the opportunities
for several before the women of the
church.
Thee month of March is denominat-
ed the month of recruiting and in
gathering in the New Era movement.
All church members may have vital
interest in this great work of the
church, and to this end personal work
with individuals is urged, as well as
attendance upon the Wednesday even
ing, and Sunday evening services es-
pecially.

is hoped through these meetings to
stir up sentiment that will help us
to get in line in the pure bred sire
game from stations and jacks to
oultry. This county is losing from
$4,000 to $4,000 each year by
keeping and breeding inferior and
scrub sires. We need to put that
roads, or better homes with more
conveniences, rather than waste it in
growing such scrubs as sires OF that
kind can produce.
We are glad to see Mr.. E. D. Nc
Ginnis and family finally land in
Blount county. Mr.. McGinnis came
up last fall from Texas where he had
been living for year, and took
look over the beautiful county of
Blount. He liked so well that before
returning to Texas he secured an OPP
ton on a farm owned by Mr.. Tom
Nuchols down the Niles Ferry pike.
The result was that he purchased this
tract of 211 acres and has come with
his family to live with us, to boost
with us and to be one of us. He is
lover of good stock, being a breeder
of Big Type Poland China hogs. Be-
fore landing in Blount county, Mr..
McGinnis went to Chicago and took
course in Auctioneering under Cary
M. Jones. He is taking up the work
line of work which fits we'll into his
hog breeding work. Mr.. McGinnis
bought $500 pair of Percheron
mares Monday from Geo. and Jno.
Chandler.

FARM NEWS

More Angus brought to Blount
county. At the Louisville sale last
week, Mr.. w. P. Hood bought a
beautiful and promising Angus heifeI
She cost him $500, but she is as
pretty as picture and no doubt was
good buy. Bert Anderson brought
back a junior heifer and a senior
yearling bull. This young bull is a
Trojan Erica, and prize winner al
ready. He shows much character
and quality, and we are glad to know
that Bert was fortunate enough to
secure him to head his growing herd
at Rockford. 1t is useless to add
that Mr.. Hitch brought back some of
the offering. When good Angus are
offered and he is around, he always
gets into the bidding. He usually
gets some of the right kind, and this
trip he brought in two of the good
heifers from Louisville.
The series of Short Courses which
have been held in Blount county
under the auspices of the Council of
Agriculture were we'll attended con-
sidering the weather conditions and
prevailing sickness. There were
about SO men and women at the
meeting Friday at Eusebia. Much
interest was manifested in the dis
cussion of lime and legumes by Mr..
McAmis. The sheep men also enter
ed into the discussion of a wool sale
for the county to be put on in the
spring. Mr.. C. E. Brehm, Marketing
Specialist of the Division of Exten-
sion lead this discussion, and handled
the work well. 1t is hoped that we
will be able to organize sheep and
wool association in Blount county the
coming spring.
Agricultural Clubs for the boys and
girls have been organized at Wild
wood and Carpenter. There will al
so be a good strong club at Mt.
Emory. Other communities will be
reached just as soon as it is possible
to arrange for meetings. Monday at
Carpenter, club was organized with
Robert Huffstetler as president and
Lessil Huffstetler as secretary. There
were seven boys enrolled in the Corn
Club three in the Pig Club and three
in the Calf Club. Other boys will
come in, as some of the boys who in.
tend to join are sick of flu. The
girls are also working up a Poultry
Club under the supervision of our
Home Demonstration Agent, Miss
Deadrick.

BIG STORE

ELLIS-P OFFITT co. GIVE

ING PLACE
TWENTY-THOUSAND SQUAR E
FEET OF FLOOR SPACE, FILL
NEEDS OF EVERY ONE

ElllS-HrOIIlLC 10, successors "
Ellis Chandler Co. and J. N. Badgett
Co., have now completed the re-
arrangement of their building, have
the elevator installed and in opera
ton, and are completely Strengthened
out and departmentized, after their
overhauling and moving. This new
concern started out to give the peo-
! pie of Maryville and the county a
store which would be not only a
credit to the town and county, but a
store of which the people would be
proud. And that they have succeed
ed in this is proven by one trip
through it.
The Badgett building in which the
company is located, has been repaint-
ed and decorated throughout, new
ceiling lights have been installed, the
large basement has been doubled in
capacity by the removal of a parti-
tion, the upstairs has been fitted up
as sales rooms and the store is mod
ern in its departments throughout.
On the first floor are the mems and
boys shoes and furnishings depart
ment, the piece goods, notions and
toilet departments. On the balcony
off the first floor are located the
mems and boys clothing department,
and the women's and children's shoe
department, together with the rug
and window shade section.
On the second floor, which is
reached by elevator, are located the
ready-to-wear, millinery, dress max
ing and fitting department, as well as
a large airy rest room for women
and children. Private rest room and
lavatory have been installed on the
second floor for the women clerks.
In the basement of the building.
just off the first floor, which is also
reached by elevator as we'll as by
stairway, is the large, roomy, bar
gain basement, which is a strictly
ing, shoes, dry goods, notions, etc,
are carried in this department, as
well as line of staple groceries and
chinaware.
The company has installed the cash
register system for payment and
wrapping packages, which is more
convenient for the customer as we'll
as the clerks.
Modern methods of department
store arrangement have been follow
ed out in the arrangement of each
department, and the store is in every
respect one of the finest in the entire
south. The floor space used by the
store is 10000 square feet, which is
said to larger in proportion to the
population contiguous to the town,
than any store in Knoxville, in pro-
portion to the population served by
that city.
Messrs Ellis and Proffitt have
figured on the present needs and also
the future needs of the town and
county in the making of this store,
and they have spared neither time
nor money in giving to the people the
kind of store of which they have
dreamed. Both these gentlemen are
experienced department store meh,
and are ever ready to add any touch
that will give wider scope to their
influence or more comfort and con-
venience to their customers.

RED CROSS NURSE

Miss Hanson, Red Cross Nurse, said
a few days ago;
81 was asked by a thoughtful
mother, how she could obtain sign
for Measles" to post on her house.
She was kind enough to think of
other mothers, who with their child
rem might accidentally call on her.
You ask your doctor for the sign
and her in turn will report it to the
city health officer, DR.. Singleton, or
county health officer, DR.. Lovingood,
if you live outside the city corpora
ton.
More of this attitude towards
communicable diseases and we would
have fewer epidemics in Maryville.
After Wednesday the Red Cross
Rooms will be open only between the
hours of 500 and $3.50 and 1890
and 100. l wish to thank Mrs. w.
