PARIS WATER
MUCH IMPROVED
Standpipe Washed Out And Painted I;
Settling Basin is Getting
Its annual

At the water plant this week the
big settling basin is getting its
annual bath" The eight individual
basins in the upper part of the
basin We're emptied Wednesday night
and a gang is working with fire
hose washing out the floors of the
basin, and freeing them of the settle
ment of iron, When this half-sec-
ton of the basin is entirely cleaned,
the other half will undergo the same
process. AS yet no "nigger babies"
have been found in the settling
basins, and Supt. Holman does not
anticipate he will find any. The
suggestion has been made to him,
however, that he ought to sell the
big iron accumulation to some of
the patent-medicine iron tonic labo-
ratories. There is quite a volume
Holman can have same if they need
more iron in their blood, because
they can't get it in the water thru
hydrants, as it has all been pre-
viously settled to the bottom in the
settling basin.
Last week the big standpipe got
its annual bath" too, and also a
coat of paint on the inside. A sys-
flushing OF the water mains
will now be undertaken.
Water patrons will also be urged
to cut down the consumption of
water all possible. Supt Holman
says the city is using this week
100000 gallons of water every "a
hours more than normal. This has

WOOL MARKET
IS NOT BRIGHT
Division of Extension Advises Farm.
ers to Sell Comparatively
For This Season.

There is a big surplus of wool in
the United States this season and
the outlook of the market for spring
clip is not very encouraging. In
view of this situation and in order
that the farmers may get the best
prices possible, A. L. Jordan, market
ing specialist, division of extension,
is advising them to market co-ope-
ratively regardless of where, when
or to whom they sell.
Last year county agricultural
agents with the assistance of the
marketing specialists of the division
of extension enabled farmers in 16
counties of the state to sell 92,750
pounds of wool for $33,55753 which
was $5,999.72 more than they would
have received if the wool had been
sold individually.
When the spring wool clip of the
country is placed on the market 1t
is estimated that there will be ap-
100 million pounds on
hand in the United States including
$40 million pounds already on hand
This is enough wool to supply the
wooden mills of the country for
about two years. running normal
capacity and they are now running
only so per cent capacity. However.
there are few encouraging signs
The mills are gradually increasing
their running capacity and the de-
mand for wooden goods is improving.
Still, Mr.. Jordan states that it is
doubtful whether the farmer who is
paying high interest on money can
profit by holding his wool. This
is especially true unless he can hold
it for several months. On the other
hand there is no hurry about dis
posing of wool as the market will
hardly decline any further; and it
may improve some. While no prices
for the season have yet been fully
Mr.. Jordan states that it
looks like the grade of wool pro-
duced in Tennessee, clear or free
from burrs, will probably sell from
IS to 20 cents per pound. light and
medium bury from II to 16 cents
and hard bury at about to 10
cents. A number of cooperative
sales in several counties have already
been arranged and some of them
will be held at an early date.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
UNDER One HEAD
State Attorney General Delivers
Opinion Relative to New
Legislative Act

According to a recent opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Frank M.
Thompson, which is quoted in the
digest of the recent school legislation
by the last general assembly, that
has just been issued by State School
Superintendent j. B. Brown, the
schools of this county, and of all
other counties in Tennessee, are now
under the control of only one board
of education, and all counties now
operating under county elementary
boards of education, and county high
school boards. and all special district
school boards are not exempt from
the act which creates one county
board OF education for each county.
The special districts remain as Great
ed except the management of these
schools is under the one county
board of education.
AS previously stated in the Partisan
the act provides that at the July
term of the quarterly county court
this year, in each county of the
state there shall be elected by the
court the county board of education,
composed. of seven citizens of the
county of recognized integrity, abil-
ity, intelligence, etc, who shall be
chosen one for one year, one for
two years, one for three years. one
for four years, one for five years,
one for six year, one for seven
years, and thereafter they shall be-
elected for q term of seven years
each. The chairman of the county
board is to be elected annually by
the board itself within ten days after
their own elections.
This county board of education is
to meet regularly is to elect and as
sign all teachers in all the schools
in the county paris schools in
cluded), fix their salaries, locate,
build, repair, furnish and keep in
sanitary condition the school houses,
fix all wages; is to continue all
schools of the county as nearly as
practicable the same length of time.
The budget system which the
county board of education will be re.
CURED by law to adopt is a splendid
part of this new school legislation,
Is the financial system being adopt
ed by the new city administration of
Paris and is that which this paper
in this issue editorially recommends
to the county court for the efficient
way out of their present financial
difficulties and which any business,
or housekeeper even would do we'll
to adopt.
Besides the establishing in each
county of q first class high school
and provision for the apportionment
of the state school funds, which has
been previously spoken of in this
paper, the new public school laws
contain various small details of
school management, which taken
first hand, would seem to benefit
the entire educational system of the
state.

CATHOLICS TO
BUILD CHURCH

A ten thousand dollar church will
be erected by the Catholics of Paris
on the lot recently purchased by
them on West Wood street, between
the vacant lots of Y. @. Caldwell
and Ed Dumas. Reagan and Willow
of Memphis are the architects, and
the contract specifies that the build
ing is to be complete within four
months, erection to begin immedi-
ately.
There are over one hundred Cath
olics in Paris, and the erection of
church win bring other families
here, who were reluctant to. locate
here in the absence of a church.
Many of these are employed in the
l.. & n, shops and one reason that
a church has not been heretofore
erected, is the doubt that some of
them had as to the permanent loca-
ton of the shops in Paris, but with
the rebuilding of the shops now
under way, the building Of a Catholic
Church here was Immediately push
ed.
It. II. Hogan, who attended the
Knights of Columbus convention in
Jackson this week, was promised the
loyal support of that body in the
! erection of the Paris church.

TOBACCO
AT FAST CLIP
Early Planting, However, Will Have
To Be Done Over, Account
Cut Worms, Etc.
lRv w. d. Kennedy

During the early part of the week
the movement of loose tobacco was
rather heavy, but has dropped off
and there is practically nothing
moving today.
Prices have ruled rather strong on
all grades, especially is this true of
any grade of tobacco with merit
and sellers were better pleased. The
offerings were made up entirely OF
low and medium leaf. For good
common to medium leaf prices
ranged from Is to 20 cents, while
low and common grades sold from
4 to IL cents. Lugs We're firm at
l to A cents. The very common
nondescript leaf is selling just above
Jugs.
Very little buying was done at the
barn door this week. Last week
there was quite good deal of
country buying, most of which was
on speculation for shipment to other
markets, but as there was a sharp
decline in the other markets this
week this has stopped buying fol-
this source. We estimate that there
is still something like IL million
pounds of tobacco in farmers hands
in the Western District to be sold.
During the latter part of last week
and the early part of this week con-
siderable tobacco was planted, but
the very cool dry weather made it
hard on the young tender plants,
large part of them having died and
cut worms have cut great deal of
it down, and the early planting
will have to be planted over. Farm
ers are busy preparing their land
for planting and no doubt the crop
will be set out in the next week,
if weather conditions are. favorable.

The matter is being pursued by

the valve face over, the seat while
there is an abrasive compound be-
tween them, the compound cutting
lightly into both surfaces so they will
fit perfectly. The work of regrinding
is not at all difficult and 1t is hardly
possible to avoid putting the parts
back in their proper places after dis
mantling. The details OF The work
may vary slightly with different de-
signs Of engine, but basically valve
grinding is the same for all engines.
In the case of engines with detachable
heads, the head must be removed.
and this usually calls for disconnect-
ing the radiator hose and some small
er parts which might be attached to
the head. Where the head is not de-
tachable the valve plugs must be re-
moved These plugs are screwed into
the cylinder block above the valves.
In one type Of engine, the Buick,
there are valve cages, which are re-
moved with the valve and thus the
cylinder left undisturbed.
After the head or the valve plugs
are removed, it Is necessary to re-
move the valves, which is done by
means of a valve spring compressor.
There are numerous designs of COM
presors, some Of which are suited
for all engines and some which have
specific application. You should be
certain in selecting compressor
