Rural life viii never be what it
ought to be in Upton county and in
the South until the boys and girls in
the country have absolutely the same
educational facilities that the boys
and girls in the towns and cities
have. Should man move from any
town or city in the land to a rural
district in Upton county, his children
should be able to take up the grades
where they left off and 90 right along
as they would have done at the old
home. Those who till the soil and
live nearest to mother earth are en-
titled to the best, or at least to as
good as there is to be had. But our
farmer friends should not resent the
efforts that are made to improve
rural conditions by building roads
and schools, but should welcome every
such effort as his opportunity for i'm
provement. The population Of Upton
county has not increased in the past
10 years except in the towns. This
is not a good sign. Think about it.

The county court Of our county
hasn't 50 far seen fit 70 make any
appropriations for sodding and beauti-
flying the courthouse yard and there
are no workhouse prisoners to do the
work. Perhaps the Parent Teachers
Association or some other organiza-
ton Of the kind can be induced to
take up the work Of improving the
courthouse yard. It is now the
laughing stock Of strangers who visit
our town and a constant source Of
shame to our citizens.

There seems to be belief that
this is the first time that rival candi-
dates for the presidency have been
nominated from the same State.
Theodore Roosevelt and Alton B.
Parker, both Of New York, were
nominees Of their respective parties
IN 1904. Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas, both Of Illinois,
were opposing nominees in 1860,
though there were two other presi-
Dental candidates, John C. Brecken-
ridge. Of Kentucky. and John Bell, Of
Tennessee. Nashville Banner.

It IS estimated that s1.OOO,O0O has
been paid out for feedstuff- hay,
corn, mixed feed, etc.-in Upton
county this year, over and above
the feedstuff that has been raised in
this county. In other words, more
than a million dollars has been sent
out Of the county for commodities
that could be easily raised here
ordinarily. Mr.. Farmer, how about
improving these conditions next
year?
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1920-07-15

Since the summer weather has
opened, we think it would be most
excellent plan for the city fathers to
continue the cleanup campaign be-
gun in the spring and which they
were unable to complete on account Of
the continued rains in the spring and
early summer. The piles Of rubbish
that has been left in front Of build
ings and in the alleys should be given
special attention.

The Middle and Eastern pbrtions Of
the State have been organized, includ
ing Al good roads clubs and total
membership of about $4,000. Upton
county should have strong repre-
sentation in this influential body.

These three, items alone account for $780, SIS increase in operating cost
without taking into accoun any increase for materials which advanced, in
the aggregate, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Wasteful Jitney Competition
Although the revenue from fares has increased at n average rate j
about fifteen Der cent a year for the last three years, it has fallen far short
of keeping pace with the growing expenses. One reasonf for this is the n
economical and wasteful competition of the jitneys.
Jnneys do not create new business They divide the business created
by The troneys and by unnecessarily duplicating service add to the total cost
of transportation which the public, as a whole, is called upon to pay.
Threefourhs, or more, OF the riding public use the street railways and
as jitney competition causes higher, rather than lower car fares, the big ma
iority OF riders are taxed for the benefit of the small minority.
The street railway provides al essential comprehensive system of service
The itney does not-AND CAN NOT.

THE MOTHER ON THE SIDEWALK.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

The mother on the sidewalk as the
troops are marching by
Is the mother of Old Glory that Is
waving in the sky.
Men have fought to keep it splendid,
men have died to keep it bright,
But that flag was born of woman and
her sufferings day and night;
TITS her sacrifice has made it, and
once more we ought to pray
For the brave and loyal mother OF the
boy that goes away.
There are days of grief before her,
there are hours that she will
weep,
There are nights Of anxious waiting
when her fear will Danish sleep
She has heard her country calling and
has risen to the test,
And has placed upon the altar OF the
turmoil of the fray
The anguish of the mother OF the boz
e.. who goes away,
You may boast mems deeds Of glory
you may tell their courage great
But to die is easier service than alone
to sit and wait
And ] hail the little mother. with thu
tear-stained face and grave
WIG has given the Flag soldier
she's the bra vest of the brave.
And that banner we are proud OF
with its red and blue and whit
Is a lasting tribute holy to all moth
ers' love of right.
