PUBLIC
SCHOOL NOTES
Parents Invited To Visit School Next
Wednesday :.

II is planned to have a visiting day
each six week period of the school
year. Next Wednesday, November
seventeenth has been chosen as visit
ing day. Every patron and parent
are invited to come TO school in the
afternoon and visit the room they
wish ard then at 400 the teachers
and patrons will meet in the Assembly
room and one or two of the problems
Of the school will be discussed.
Last year the teachers did not come
into contact with the parents Of their
children as much as they should for
good school work. Many of the par
ents never met the teachers Of their
children at all. IN order that good
school work be done it, is absolutely
necessary that the parents understand
the teachers. They must understand
the problems of the school, and it's
difficulties in solving them. Also they
should understand why 1t Is that the
children receive the marks they do
and get along as they do. Many par
ents that should be looking into the
reasons why their children are doing
the work they do in school don't seem
to be able to find time to do SO. 1t is
hoped that every parent in the COM
munity will take an afternoon off and
come to school next Wednesday. II
isn't necessary that they be here all
afternoon. They will have a better
opportunity of talking matters over
with the teacher after school closes.
But we wish to invite all to visit
school and then stay and meet the
teachers. We want to make this meet
ing a meeting well worth while for
both parents and teachers.
The school year is one fourth over
this week. In two more weeks the
report cards will be out for the second
time. There will only be six weeks
left after that in the first semester
Basketball teams are being organized;
orchestl work is going on; literary
society work soon starts, and in two
weeks the Editor-in-Chie will be cleo
ed for the School Annual.
The third year home economics
class have spent the past two weeks
visiting some of the homes of the city
to get ideas in house planning and
management. They wish to thank the
people of Miller for opening their
homes for them to go through and for
explaining why they have built them
as they have. They have obtained
many valuable suggestions.

Bankers Form Thirty Million Dollar
Corporation to Finance Live
Stock Industry

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Bankers of Chica-
go and other cities met here today to
complete arrangements for the forma-
ton of a $50, 900 900 fund to help fin
ance the livestock industry. New
York, Boston, and st. Louis banks will
be invited to take part in the arrange
ments, it was announced.
The conference is the outgrowth of
the plea for aid carried to the federal
reserve board at Washington recently
by livestock producers, packers and
bankers. The bankers said they had
decided to proceed independently since
no material aid was obtained in Wash
ington.
1t is proposed to form a corporation
with a nominal capital which will be
subscribed on a pro-rata basis by the
participating banks. These banks
will agree to furnish a definite maxi
mum sum to the corporation for loan
ing purposes. These quotas also will
be on a pro-rata basis, based upon the
participating banks capital and sur
plus.
The corportion, it was said, will
confine its operation to the extension
of credit to livestock producers whose
loans have been called by the banks
and who as a consequence are threat
ened with the alternative of market
ing immature stock.

HAND CO. BOY
LOST in STORM
EEia nuel Hlns of Bates Township
Missing Since Sunday Night
October 81

The whole northwest part of Jer-
auld county and south of Hand county
has been in a state of suspense since
Monday morning caused by the alb
sence from home Of Emanuel Hins,
and the inability of obtaining any
trace of him.
The young a who is about TWEEN
ty years Of age left home Sunday
evening to visit a lady friend. He
left there, according to the story
about midnight and has not been seen
since. Not coming home, his parents
became anxious and Monday morning
began to make inquiries and begun to
search.
His car was found at the foot of
n hill not far from George Scofields
in Marian township. The appearance
of the ground near and the finding
OF n chain being attached to the
wheel indicates that he had trouble
with his car.
The fact Of the water being drain
ed from the radiator would indicate
that he wished to save the car from
freezing while he attempted to walk
horne.
While the storm was severe the
we-+her was not cold and an able
bodied young man should have been
ebla to reach home unless he fell into
son deep hole or injured himself in
some tanner

NEW LABORATORY
TOCOST 100000
City Will Lease Site on Gen
eral Hospital Grounds
Ito State.

Bids for the construction OF the
new labora tory. which the University
of Tennessee will build on ground
adjoining the General hospital, will be
asked for by the trustees within 90
days. The building Is estimated to cost
approximately 100000, and Will be
equipped for every kind of medical
laboratory work.
The city commission. early in Jam
uary, passed an ordinance under which
the university was given permission 10
place the building upon the hospital
grounds. 1t was discovered later, that
the state university cannot legally build
except upon ground either owned by
the university or the state. Lawyers
representing the university have since
decided that II the city gives the state
lease on the ground, running for an
undetermined period, that will comply
with the conditions.
Local trustees of the university, with
the mayor and the trustees OF the Cen
cral hospital, will select the site for
the building within the next few days,
and the lease will then be formally
made and the ground will be turned
ove- to the university trustees.
The laboratory is an absolute need
for carrying on the work of the students
in the medical and dental departments
of the university, but will also be OF
the greatest benefit to the physicians
and surgeons who are on the staff OF
the General hospital in their work
there.
Extensive alterations and repairs are
in progress on several of the university
buildings in Memphis in preparation
for the anticipated increase in attend
ance during the next term.
During the coming summer changes
are to be made in the faculty in order
to comply with the rules of the Ameri-
can Medical association, so that the
colleges of medicine. dentistry and
pharmacy may be kept in the class A
rating.
Commencement exercises this year
will be held early in June.

CITY MAY RESURFACE
SOUTH FRONT STREET

Plans for resurfacinS about ~ blocks
on South Front street are being con-
sidered by Commissioner T. H. Allen,
OF the street department, and a con-
ference with property owners interest
ed will be held Friday afternoon. Old
Shelby street, which was renamed South
Front during the Malone administra-
ton, is one OF the few streets on which
the old cobble stone paving still re-
mains. 1t was paved many years ago
and is still in good condition, but is
too rough for auto traffic.
Commissioner Edgar has suggested
that it be resurfaced with either as
phalt or bitulthic paving, so that
the autos which congest traffic on
Main street may be diverted to Front.
Commissioner Allen doubts whether as
phalt would last long under the heavy
traffic from the wholesale district on
South Front.
On North Third the experiment is
being tried of laying a coating of con-
crete over a similar old stone pave
ment. which will be covered with
layer of asphalt. but on that street the
traffic is much lighter than on Front.
