HIGHWAY PROGRESS


Work on the Jeff Davis highway
north Of Covington is making rapid
progress. The men who are % build
the big concrete bridge over Town
creek have begun work, and Huey
Brothers are beginning the work Of
laying the limestone course on top
Of the gravel base on the road. The
asphalt or finishing course win fol-
low in the near future and then we
win have a finished road, and what
is said to be one Of the best in the
country.
Work north Of Hatchie river is
progressing about as it is on this
side.
Now, if we can get the state high
way department to let the contract
for the work south Of Covington on
to Millihgton we will soon have a
road that win render real service.
The department promises that the
work will begin. some time this year,
but our people hope that it can be-
gin within the next few weeks in
order that a good portion of the work
may be done before winter.
We need the road and our people
need TO dossome Of the work.

FREE COUNTY LIBRARY

Every county in Tennessee that
wants onehmay now have county
free library, which serves a whole
county, Snst as city library serves
it's city, reaching every man, woman
and child in every corner Of the
county.
This Isl made possible by the new
county library law passed in April
by the last legislature. 1t is an en-
ablihg act based partly on the sue
cessful methods in operation in Ohio,
Maryland, California and a number
Of other progressive states. 1t au-
thorizes county courts to establish
and maintain county libraries for all
communities not now served by a
public library.
The main or central library in
most cases is located at the county
seat, the largest city or the town with
the largest public library. There are
branch Libraries or reading rooms in
all small towns, and deposit stations
in country stores, .postoffices and
other convenient places. Collections
Of books are sent to every village
and rural school The farm dwellers
are not overlooked They are served
III many instances by book wagons
or motor trucks containing shelves
Of books, resembling the r. II. ID.
mail wagon, sent through the coun-
try from the main library and stop
ping at farm houses to fill requests
for books and to collect those. which
have been read. If farmer sends
postal card to the county librarian
the books he desires will be sent to
him by parcel post.
A county library is established by
the citizens Of county on their own
initiative, following certain simple
requirements of law.
An inquiry for information adj
dressed to John Trotwood Moore,
Nashville, state librarian, will bring
prompt response.

PROPOSED BY BAPTISTS

Approximately 10000 people at
tended the Southern Baptist C0nven-
ton daily during its session in Chat
tanooga. The convention adjourned
Tuesday at noon.
With the exception Of the Atlanta
Convention in 1919; when the $751;
/ 100000 campaign was projected, the
session that closed Tuesday at noon
witnessed the transaction Of more
important business to the future pro-
gramme Of the denomination than
almost any Of its predecessors, in
the opinion Of the officials of the
body.
DR.. George W. Truett, Of Dallas,
who was a representative Of the for
eign mission board at the London
conference, challenged the Baptists
to complete their S75,000,000 cam
pai9n during the next three years
and then launch another five-year
programme for $200,000,000.
Among the important plans adopt
ed are those relating to the COM
pletion of the $75,O00,000 campaign,
the program of evangelism that is
calculated to reach all the local
churches during the new year and
enlist all the members in personal
soul winning, the enrolment Of half
million tithers during the year, es-
tablishment of another theological
seminary, the possible establishment
of one or more southwide UNIVERSE
ties, provision for q new charter of

Senator w. w. Craig, Of Ripley,
who is a native Of Friendship and
represents the counties of Crockett,
Lauderdale and Dyer in the state SEN
ate, is urged to make the race for the
Democratic nomination for governor
in 1922.
The Tri-County News, Friendships
local newspaper, editoriallv endorses
Senator Craig in recent issue as a
"favorite son."
For more than a quarter of CEN
turv the senator has been keen OBJ
server of political affairs in Ten
nessee and has always been sterl-
ing Democrat. He is successful
business man. able attorney and an
arat5r with few equals in the state.

race last year for the state and
national tickets. He stood firmly as
party man and representative Of
Democratic pledges and principles in
the state senate, and was the author

WOMAN SCIENTIST TO
RECEIVE RADIUM

Nine. Marie S. Curie, the greatest
woman scientist the world has ever
produced and one of the greatest
scientists Of the age, has arrived in
New York. Nine. Curie, discoverer Of
radium is here to receive from the
hands of President Harding a gram
Of. radium purchased with 100000
supplied by Americans through a
fund raised BY women of this country
who admired her work. The sig
nificance Of the gift is better APP
preciated when it is known that there
are but five ounces, or 141 grams of
radium in the world
For hundreds Of years cancer has
exacted a fearful toll of suffering
and death from humanity, and until
comparatively recent times there was
no hope Of a cure extended to the
victim. The surgeons knife was the
only recourse, and that did not offer
any satisfactory solution of the evil.
There is room for hope now, how
ever, in the answer Madame Curie
gave when she was asked if radium
was actually cure for cancer, for
she said: "Yes, it is. That is, if it
is applied PROPERLY
Madame Curie will be the guest
of the United States until June %. in
the time she is here visiting many
Of our great cities and covering a
vast portion Of the country. The
consideration naid her BY this coun-
try is an evidence Of the fact that
we do not reserve all our honors for
those who win fame in war or in po-
litical achievement. but that we re-
card in its proper value the work Of
those who toll in laboratories for the
alienation Of suffering among the
neoples Of the earth.

AN APPEAL FOR OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

Throughout the country, teachers
are now being selected and salaries
fixed for the coming year. Hun
dreds Of thousands of public school
teachers will be employed during the
next few weeks. This is no time for
extravaganza in governmental ex-
penditures. Appropriations should
be carefully scrutinized and all I'M
necessary items eliminated. The
times demand the application Of the
best business principles in the con-
duct Of public affairs.
However, there can be no re-
trenchmente in the support Of educa-
tion. Money wisely expended for
this purpose is an investment in
citizenship and an insurance against
the revolutionary conditions which
exists in countries whose peoples are
ignorant and illiterate.
Our free public school system is
an integral part Of our free govern
ment, essential to it's life and pros
perity. The only secure foundation
for democracy is an enlightened and
intelligent electorate. A govern
ment Of the people and by the peo-
pie can be no better and no stronger
than the composite citizenship Of
which it is constituted.
This fact was recognized by the
far-seeing statesmen who founded
this nation. William Penn declared
that the only way to preserve free
government was BY the education Of
all its citizens, "for which, said
he, "spare no cost, for by such parsi-
mony all that Is saved is lost"
Washington urged his countrymen
ITO promote as objects Of primary
Importance institutions for the gem
eral diffusion Of knowledge" JEFF
ferson, Adams and Madison taught
that the education Of all the people
furnishes the greatest safeguard for
our free institutions.
The greatest need Of our country
today is competent, well qualified
teachers to train the future citizens
Of the nation. We must get rid of
the incompetent and unprepared in
our public schools. The schools of
tomorrow should be taught only BY
the best, and the profession Of teach
ing must be made so inviting that it
will attract and hold the best. Any
reduction in the salaries Of teachers
or any failure properly to appreciate
the innortance of education will turn
from the teaching profession those
young men and women now prepar-
ing TER their life's work who should
be secured FOR this most important
field Of public service.

FARM CONDITIONS IMPROVING

With improved weather conditions
Upton county farmers are making
every hour count in preparing the
land and planting crops,
Excessive rains and cold weather
have made planting later than we
would have liked, perhaps, but not
withstanding the discouraging wealth
er conditions and market prospects,
the farmers Of Upton county are
doing the sensible thing and pushing
the work forward.
If the settling Of the German in
demnity, the stabilizing Of foreign
exchanges and other conditions
abroad give US better market this
fall than we now have reason to ex-
pect, an will be well and good, but
if low prices for farm products still
prevail, we will at least be better
off than we were last fall, because
we will have much more in the way
Of food and feed crops.
Corn, hay strawberries, potatoes
and sorghum are crops that will
be greatly increased and our people
will likely pay more attention to
canning and preserving the products
of the garden and orchards than has
been their custom.
Unfortunately, we haven't the
usual number of hogs in the county
and this shortage viii undoubtedly
be felt this fall
If large amount of poultry is
grown and the number of milk cows
increased, that will be another step
toward independence.
Under the direction of County
Agent Hollingsworth the business Of
shipping cream is being rapidly de-
veloped.
All in all, it seems that we are
making the best Of conditions that
seemed none too promising at the
beginning Of the year Perhaps, after
all, the calamity which struck us
last fall may, like many others be-
FORE prove blessing in disguise
This viii surely be true If it forces
us to diversity our crops and es-
tablish better systems Of farming.
