ABOUT METHODIST SCHOOL
An Appropriation of $4,000 Made A.
a Starter Toward Buildings

At a recent meeting of the Teune-
ssee conference mission 100000 was
appropriated as starter toward
erecting the buildings for the pro-
posed Methodist school that is to
be located some two miles north of
Crossville.
The property decided to the M. E.
Church. South, comprises 42o acres
lying along the Tennessee Central
railroad two to three miles north of
town and along the Dixie Short Line
highway. Plans are now under way
for the erection of the buildings,
which will be commenced it is said,
within short time.
The school is TO cover full high
school course and will serve as an
education center for this sectiona
From time to time branch schools
covering the grammer grade will be
erected in needy sections around
this center, where the public schools
are inadequate
Vocational departments Will be spe-
cial branches of the course. These
departments will include farming,
dairying, domestic Science and do
mestic art. Besides these, CONNER
cial branches will be taught and
normal school for training teachers
and leaders will have special atten-
ton.
But above these and that which is
expected to tone the atmosphere of
the institution and mould the character
OF the students, will be course of
Bible study and readings. The teach
ers will be selected with great care,
and hone but Christians of high
character will be allowed in the fac
ulty.
Last summer the county court pas
sed an order appropriating $4,000 of
funds to assist in paying for
the land, provided the legislature
should pass an act authorizing it. In
January the act authorizing the ex-
oenditure was passed by the legisla-
lure.

TYPHUS IN POLAND
Being systematically Fought by Red
Cross With Hospital Trains

lyphuS, the disease which recently
made its appearance in New York, is
being fought today by the American
Red Cross in one of its original
strongholds Poland, with FIVE hospital
trains consisting of ten cars each.
The hospital trains prove an excep-
tional effective weapon against the
epidemic which is reaping toll of
thousands of lives among the Poles in
the districts devastated by the Soviet
armies in the summer campaigns.
Many thousands of typhus cases ale
found in the small villages and iso-
lated farm cottages, far from any
hospital, and proper medical attention
is an impossibility. The five trains
which are operating throughout the
isolated districts of eastern Poland
were fitted up as means of CARRYING
on relief work which was abandoned
while the Bolshevist drive was under
way.
The trains have specific sections
IN which they operate and are often
away from their base of supplies
as long as two months at a time.
The work is mostly confined to
small villages, for here are found the
most needy cases. When the train
reaches village, it is, sde-tracked |
and a thorough inspection of the
section is made and all cases of i'll |
ness are given immediate treatment |
One car of each train is equipped |
as an operating room. another for
DRESSINGS and examinations. The
other cars include living quarters for
he doctors and nurses and about
our cars are loaded with relief
supplies

CHURCH WORK

Rev. Neil McQuarric, of Sterns, KY,
home missionary superintendent tor
Kentucky and Tennessee, and DIR.
c. L. Fisk, Cleveland, Ohio, secretary
of religious education of the Congre-
eational church, were in Cr ossville
Monday and Monday night and held
two services.
These gentlemen laid special stress
upon the idea that the Sunday-school
is part, and very important part,
of the church work and that the Sum
day school should not be regarded in
the light in which it is viewed by
most persons, that it is in any sense
separate and a part from the church
work, but that it is the Christian ed
ucational branch of the church in
which all members should be inter
ested and take an active part.
Dr. Fisk has been making a tour
of the southeastern church field OF
the Congregational church. They
made a visit to Pleasant Hill Academy
and stopped here for day on their
homeward way.

STORY OF A DOLLAR
Pays Numerous Debts by Being
Rapidly Handed from Man
to Man

A clerk OF a certain firm had bor-
rowed three dollars from the book
keeper of the same firm. The book
keeper had previously borrowed two
dollars from the cashier. The cashier
having been in trouble had borrowed
two dollars from the above mentioned
clerk.
Now it So happened that the clerk
one day found dollar in the street.
He immediat tely took it to the book
keeper, thereby reducing his debt to
two dollars. The bookkeeper handed
the dollar to the cashier, telling him
that he owed him but one dollar now.
The cashier gave the dollar to the
clerk and remarked that only one
dollar was left for him to pay. The
clerk took the dollar to the book
keeper and said, Just one more dollar
for me to pay you." The bookkeeper
gave the dollar to the cashier with
the remark that now his debt was
paid. The cashier took it to the clerk
with the same remark The clerk
took the dollar to the bookkeeper
and said Now my debt is paid at
asst
Thus with a single dollar, debts that
amounted to seven dollars were paid.

portions of Costa Rica, and the latter
country had likewise crossed the
boundary into Panama.
The stage was set for much she'd

couched in no uncertain terms, was
despatched by Secretary Hughes to
both of the belligerents. Fighting
ceased at once, and the decision pre-
viously rendered by Chief Justice
White on the issues involved was
accepted.
Panama and Costa Rica are small
nations, and their disputes are ;ns1S-

that prompted the United STATES to
intervene to preserve peace IN Cen

CONVERTS

1t is reported from Russia that
some of the undesirables deporteo
from America are the leaders in the
uprising against the soviet regime.
Although those men professed not
to believe in our principles of govern,
while here, they were forced to OBJ
serve their practical application ana
the standard of living of our citizens.
Since they left our shores they have
been able to compare conditions in
the United States with those prevail

has been a lot of converts from

HOW TO IMPROVE LAND
There is no Get Rich Quick" Scheme,
Says Specialist.

There is no get rich quick" schem,
for improving poor land in larg,
areas, says J. c. McAmis, specialist il
agronomy, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee.
Many Tennessee farmers write hin
asking for information as to the
quickest method foor improving poor
land and his first suggestion to them
is: grow clover" He, of course
suggests others, but this is the one
method that has given satisfaction to
hundreds of Tennessee farmers who
have tried it,
In preparing poor land for clover
Mr.. McAmis recommends the use of
two to three tons of hneely ground
limestone, or one ton of burned lime
to the acre. on soil that is we'll pre-
pared in June or July and kept free
from plant growth both crops and
weeds until the first good rain in
August after which Red Clover should
be sown at the rate OF ten pounds to
the acre. If the ground is to be
left seeded longer than two years,
grass should be sown with the clover.
1t the soil is too poor even with the
lime and 200 to 900 pounds of acid
Phosphate to grow Red Clover salts
factory, rye may be sown with the
clover to insure growing crop on
the land
Another method is the use of soy
beans and cowpeas, but these crops, |
and to certain extent the same is i
true of clover, must be turned under,
or fed and the manure re turned to the |
land. The turning under method is
quicker, but usually not SO economical
as the feeding system. Of course, if
one could have an unlimited supply of
stable manure and then reinforce
this by using 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre, the land
can be made to grow good crop i'm
FIR potatoes however, the
manure should be applied the fall
before they are planted, or better still
@ a young stand of clover which is
o be turned under. before the pota-
oes are planted. %.

CROP REPORT
Shows Heavy Percentage of Corn

The usual March Survey of grain
held on farms in Tennessee, made By
| G. L. Morris. Agriculture Statistician
Bureau of Crop Estimates, Unitec
States Department of Agriculture
shows that there is next to the largest
amour of corn held on the farms oi
the state on March I, ever known in
| Tennessee. The amount on the farms
March I, 1918 being the largest. With
crop of o3,Ioo,ooo bushels, the second
largest crop ever produced, there re-
mained on farms on the above date
81 per cent, or 47,48I 900 bushels. The
very mild winter, which has kept
feeding down to a minimum, and the
heavy decline of prices, with slow
movement are the chief factors in
the large holdings. There was much
late corn which did not fully mature,
and the merchantable quality was 81
per cent, slightly above the average.
OF a very short wheat crop last
year, there still remains on farms
IL per cent or 725,ooo bushels of the
Ao28,ooo bushels grown. The greater
portion of this is in the eastern part
of the state.
There still remains on the farms II
per cent of the oat crop, and 9 per
cent of the barley crop. The last
named crop is negligible in this state.
Land values, according to reports
received, have declined IS per cent
The average of improved farm land

with $50, March 1, 1920. AS there
nave been no sales for several months

ire largely visionary, and the true
'alue is, likely, considerably below

a. continued sharp recovery in the eX-
changes, further weakness in com
| moditieS. especially wheat. new high
prices for the season in liberty bonds

and more brisk upbiddinS in the spec

Sterling got up well above it's pre-
vious high for the year: it has now
rallied 30 cents to the pound within
little more than month, and still
the upward tendency has not abated.
French francs were also very strong.
and here the significance of the move
ment lies in it's reflection of import
ant opinion regarding the outcome of
the German reparations question.
The renewed fall in wheat options,
while due to number of different
circumstances, signifies primarily the
dwindlfng of the hope in the passage
Of an emergency tariff bill which was
the basis for the previous upturn.
In the stock market the trading
broadened out and increased in vol
ume. although still the bulk of the
operations had professional origin.
The active speculative element had
found that the line of least resistance
no longer lay on the side of declining
prices, but rather that it WAS much
easier to put prices up than down.

bio cnCe more to finance speculative

were the two chief reasons from

Of course, the stock market was voic-

Improvement in the banking And

SUGAR STOCKS FIRM.
Sugar stocks were among the market
leaders. They were more active and
much stronger as a group than they
have been in some time. This was not
because of any immediate charge in the
situation. While the best opinion ia
that sugar prices have been humping
on bottom and that the tendency from
now on will be slowly upward. there
has been no marked Improvement so
far. There were two nearer reasons
for the buying in the sugars today.
One was that these stocks had not had
their duo share in tho general upward
movement, tho other was the expecta-
rion that Congress would place
good -sizcd duty on the sugar staple.
It was noticeable that tho sharos Of
tho cane companies were much more
favored in the buying than were the
shares of tho beet companies. This
expressed the judgment Of the street
that In the controversy between the
two on tho tariff schedule the cane
interests were the ones that were
likely to win out.
