RESPONSIBILITY
OF The PARENT

Many parents lose sight Of the fac
that the vacation period is one o.
grave danger to the growing child.
The boy or girl just out of schoo
feels like the Gagged bird that is sud
denly released from its captivity. II
glories in it's freedom to the exclu
sion of all else.
Many Of the lessons in department
that have been learned in the class.
room are. gradually forgotten as the
child finds its way to the street.
There is no room in its heart for
anything but the glories Of the pres
ent, unless the parental hand Is ever
guiding its steps. The future is a
sealed book which will be opened
only too soon for its purpose.
Herein the function Of the parent
becomes of double importance to the
future life of the child, for the care
full work and training OF the teacher
must be carried on. through the days
and weeks of the vacation period, not
to the extent of hampering the child
in its rest and recuperation from
classroom confinement, or depriving
it Of the innocent pleasures of life,
but rather the daily impressing upon
its young mind the necessity for con-
tinuing the rules of conduct learned
in its hours of study.
Children are quick to learn and
equally quick to forget An impress
sion may sink deep today and be for
gotten by tomorrow, but If it is re-
peatedly brought to the attention Of
the Juvenile brain it will eventually
take deep root and live.
The teacher Is responsible to the
parent for the proper instruction of
the child during its hours of study,
but the parent has double RESPONSE
bility--to both the teacher and the
cAfld-tAe responsibility OF safe-

FUTURE DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
DEPENDS LARGELY ON WOMEN

The Democratic Primary Election
which has been called for Saturday
September 8, 1921, for the purpose OF
selecting nominees for the various
)unty Offices to be filled next year
should be participated in by every
Democratic voter, both men and wo-
men throughout the whole county,
and il is of the most vital importance
tn the future of the party that an in
teres be manifested by all.
Three Of the offices. namely, Trus-
tee, Sheriff, and Register, have a
number of announced candidates for
each while the Offices of County Court
Clerk, Circuit Court Clerk, Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction, and
County Attorney have only one can

1t is a fact that Woman
Suffrage has come to us in the form
of federal constitutional amend

to stay, and the woman has the right
and privilege of the ballot just the
same as the man. and il it be the
mans duty to exercise his franchise

less the duty Of his wife or daughter
to do so. It is not necessary that

ANOTHER Big
UNION MEETING
To Be Held In cookeviIis, August 2,

Cookeville is to have another big
tent meeting this year In which the
same churches as last year will par
ticipate. Rev. Thurston b. Price oi
Asheville, N. c., one OF the Southe
best known evangelists will conduct
the meeting, which will begin Aug

four weeks, and maybe longer. The
Baptist, Cumberland Presbyterian, U.
s. A. Presbyterian, and Methodist
churches of Cookeville are behind
the movement, and all religious peo-
pie of every. denomination are cor
daily invited to participate in the
meeting, and it is hoped that all con-
gregations within reasonable dis
tance will accept the invitation and
help to make this great revival. such
as was had last year, and even more
widespread. A big tent will be Sc
cured and whatever may be the size
Of the crowds, they will be taken
care Of. The tent will be pitched on
the City school grounds, near the
site of last years meeting, as this To-
cation is the most central that could
be secured, and is an ideal one for
the purpose. 1t is to be hoped that
people Of all denominations and re-
ligious creeds will join I'M the move
ment to have tht most successful
meeting ever held in this section,
and this can be done il all the church
es will cooperate to this end. Cooke
vile is the logical center of a great
expanse Of territory. with thousands
Of people living within easy travelling

taking the lead with the hope that the
adjoining communities will Join ; in
this great work.

THE REDPATH
CHAUTAUQUA
will Give A Three Day Program Here
August 8, 8, and 9.

On Friday, August 5, the Redpath
'Chautauqua will open three-day
engagement in Cookeville, with the
highest class entertainments obtain
able, and the people of the town
should certainly patronize these en-
tertainments for they are educa-
tional as well as entertaining and in
spring. We had Redpath Chautau-
qua with US last year and the event
was success from every stand
point, and this year it should prove
even more so, as our people know
that it is well worth double the price
as they have to pay to see it. This
year the Chautauqua will be given
in tent, with comfortable seats for
several hundred people and it is ex-
pected that capacity houses will
greet each performance. The price
of season tickets have been reduced
somewhat from last year, as the
war tax will be eliminated this time,
by buying the ChautauQua outright
and directing the profit to local cause.
The enterprising people who sign
ed the contract should not have to
pa out one cent, except the price of
the season tickets used by themselves
and families, and this they expect
to do, but of course II the entertain
ments are not fr.ely patronized they
must make up any deficit to the
ChautauQua management, who agree
to put on che ChautauQua at stipu-
lated price. There will be diversi.
ty Of entertainment comprising mu.
sical features, artistic demonstrations
a high class comedy, and three lee.
lures by two gentlemen and one
lady, who have attained national repu.
tations in their line. In fact the pro-
gram is filed with feature entertain.
ments, and it is said BY those who
have seen this yea1s performance
of the three-day Chautauqual that
there Is not dull, uninteresting num-
ber in the entire program. It will be
interesting and instructive to both
old and young and everyone should
make 1t a point to attend. II this
years chautauqua proves a. success
from a financial viewpoint, which
means paying expenses, next year
Cookeville will have five or seven
days chautauqua, and it will be here
earlier in the season, and the stu
dents OF the Summer School will have
an opportunity to attend, and with
their assistance it will not be amy
trouble to pay the extra expense of
the longer and perhaps better pro.
gram. The play, Nothing But The
TRUTH" which is to be staged here on
Saturday evening, Aug. 6, has been
one of the five day features for this
season, and we are indeed fortunate
to have this excellent comedy on our
program. The price of admission to
this performance alone is $1.00, so a |
season ticket purchased for 50 and
which can be used by any member Of
one family is certainly worth con-
sidering, when the price Of single |
admission to see the play is half
that amount. II you fail to see this
years chautauqua you will regret it,
and It behooves each one of US to
secure season ticket and thereby
help the local signers Of the contract
to pay expenses and at the same time
make an investment that will be
worth many times It's cost.

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
Especial Correspondence)

Washington, D. c., July 26, 1921
Just as the public was settled in its
seat watching the comedy Of making
a tariff bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives for the promotion of prof
teering among the privileged class
es, its attention was temporarily dis
tracted by the spectacular tragedy Of
killing he Soldiers Bonus Bill in the
House of its alleged friends.
The reading public already knows
the story of how that bill was killed;
of how President Harding, following
custom of President Wilson, went
before the Senate and brought about
the recommital of the bill to the FL
nance Committee, where, in the
opinion of the wisest legislative OBJ
servers in both parties, it is buried
beyond hope of resurrection by this
Congress.
This is the first time in history that
President of the United States has
Congress to block legislation. Presi-
dent Wilson frequently appeared there
but, as Chairman George White Of
ghe Democratic National Committee
said in a recent statement, always
to urge or expedite the passage Of
needed legislation.
Neithr the republican Senators nor
the Republican press criticised Presi-
dent Harding for debating to Cong
ress." the form of criticism hereto
fore directed at President Wilson.
The effect of President Hardins's
"dictation" is shown by the votes Of
Republican Senate RS, first to take up
and consider he bills passage and
then recommit t to the priva.e
graveyard of Senator Penrose's Fl.
nance Committee On the motion to
take up and consider the bill every
Senator who voted, voted
Aye" except Senator Warren. On
the vote to reconmit, and thus kill
the bill the following tweny-four Re-
publican Senaors changed front and
voted to recommit, following Prssi-
dent Harding's speech:
BAN. Brandegee, Cameron. Cum
MINIS, Curtis, Rillingham, Edge. Good
ing. Hale, Kelog. Kenyon, Knox,
Lodge. Mckinley. McNary, Moses,
Nelson, New, Nicholson, Oddie, Poin-
dexter. Smoot, Sterling, and Watson.
Embalmins the Bonus Bill.
One of the best evidences that this
Congress does not intend to revive
and pass the Soldiers Bonus Bill II
the fact that it rejected an amend
ment setting a date when the bill
should be reported back.
How effectively the bill was dis
posed of, so far as this Congress is
was humorously stated
by Senator Reed (Dem., Mo- when
he declared that "in sending 1t back
in that way it will be as effectively
killed and as thoroughly dead as
Julious Caesar" and then said:
"If there is a spark OF life left in
t, when the veins are filled with
he Penrose embalming fluid the
Angel Gabriel could not resurrect It.
t will be in as bad condition as the
corpse OF the mother-inlaw was af-
er It had been treated in accordance
With the request Of the son-in-law In
le very ancient story-which is the
'nly kind know-when he replied
o Telegram Mother Is dead. Shall
cremate, embalm. or bury? and he
eplied, DO all three. Take no
hances'"

C0MPLETI ION
MILLION GALLON RESERVOIR
WILL SOON BE READY TO
CONNECT WITH WATER.

The work of construction on Alma S
million gallon reservoir is rapidly
nearing completion, but it is expected
that it will be four or five weeks yet
before it is available for use.
Nearly all Of the concrete has been
placed on the forms, one part being
eft out until the balance dries suffi-
GENTLY to allow the removal of the
large forms. When they have been
removed through the opening thus left
,he opening will be closed. 1t will
cake about ten days time for the con
crete to set sufficiently to permit the
removal Of the forms 1t will then take
about that length Of time for the final
pouring of concrete to set
After this has been completed il
will probably take some little time to
connect up the water system with the
new reservoir and get everything in
readiness to turn the water from the
wells back into the mains again.
Work on the new well that is to bC
put down to the strata Of gravel just
above bed rock has not yet been start
ed, hut it is expected that Mr.. KerseS
will be on the job within very short
time, and it is regarded as more thar
possible that this well will be ready t,
connect up by the time that the reser
voir can be used.
