General Headquarters will be at
the PATTEN HOTEL, during the
Chattanooga reunion.
The Convention meetings will be
held in the BILLY SUNDAY TABER-
NACLE, the largest building in Chat

Your attention is called to the reso-
luton passed at Houston, Texas, Linn
iting official Ladies at the General re-
unions, for Departments, Divisions,
Brigade3 and Camps, as follows:
One Sponsor, Three Maids of Hon.
or, One Chaperone, and One Matron
of Honor.
This rule is expected to be strict
ly adhered to. Appointments are re-
stricted to descendants of loyal Con-
federates.
Official Ladies of Divisions, Brig
AIDES, and Camps, will pay their own
expenses, as heretofore.
Camp officers should understand
that official Ladies of Camps are ap-
pointed for State, District and Local
reunions, and have no functions at
National Reunions. and therefore
must not expect any Badges furnish
ed, and will only wear their CAMP
Badges, which they bring with them
to the reunion.

plain to our Comrades, that the time

ALL Veterans who come to the re-
union, free; and therefore they re-
quest that all Veterans who are
ABLE to pay for room and board,
will do so, so that those who are UN-
ABLE TO PAY may be taken care of,
which probably will have to be done
n private families, as the time is too
short to make other feeding arrange

will understand their situation.

DR.. HOWARD'S
new HOSPITAL
Will Fill A Long Felt Need in Cooke
vile.

Through the individual enterprise
of DR.. w. A. Howard, Cookeville now
has one Of the best equipped hospital
plants to be found in any small town
needed institution could not have
been inaugurated in this section.
The hospital has been built ON the
unit plan and can be added to from
time to time as the requirements Of
the town and community demand. It
is now equipped to accommodate
about 20 patients, and is practically
complete, having been beautifully fur
nished throughout with modern
sanitary furnishings, and is ready to
receive patients. DR.. Howard moved
his offices from the Arcade building
to his new hospital on Monday of this
week, where he has an elegantly fur
nished suite.
Miss Kate Smith who Is well and
favorably known throughout this Sec
ton and has a wide experience, n
the nurse in charge. Nothing will be
left undone for the convenience and
comfort of patients The rooms and
wards are beautifully and artisEically
finished, while the sun parlors and
convalescent porches add home-like
air to the place.
The operating room is a model of
cleanliness and sanitation, and has
every convenience that cam be found
in the large city hospitals. The halls
have been carpeted with rubber mat
ting, making them noiseless and sani-
tary. The rooms are most attract
lively finished in pleasing and cheer
full colors and plainly show that a
great deal of time and care has been
spent in making them as homelike az
possible.

WIRELESS TO GUIDE SHIPS


AS tu0 WuSl9O U9CO900U 0yO -
~ developed more and moCe Aooq ~
possibilities seem indehnftoL
The U. s. Dept of Commerce is in
stalling automatic wireless stations
in addition to whistles and horns to
guide ships through fog and stormy
weather.
Three Of these are being placed at
the entrance to New York Harbor,
according to Mr.. Ralph Rout. Of the
local Exide Station.
"These stations send out their sig
nails continuously during the fog or
edbad weather. The signals are pick
ed up by tes hips by means of an in
strument known as radio compass.
"Just as the ordinary compass tells
the pilot which direction or course
he is steering, the radio compass
registers the direction from which the
signal comes.
"The captain is thus able to avoid
the dangerous spots much easier
than if he depended on the sound or
the regular fog whistle or horn,
which would be more or less at the
mercy Of the wind and other ele-
ments.
"The operation of this latest de-
in safe navigation depends
greatly on Exide Batteries which the
Bureau of Standards Of Commerce
Dept. have installed in the radio sta
lions.
"The new system is different from
any other wireless method for this
purpose, in that knowledge of the
Geographic code is not necessary Ell
her by the lighthouse keeper or the
captain of the vessel receiving It.
Any vessel equipped with the radio
compass can receive the signals.
Radio signals have so far been
on Ambrose Channel and
fire Island lightships and Sea Gire
Other stations are to
'e equipped later" s~

NEAR EAST RELIEF

Governor Taylor has consented to
head the Advisory Committee Of the
Near East Relief which is being or
ganized for the purpose of collecting
Tennessee's quota Of the 5,00000H
bushels of grain which the farmers
of Am,rica have pledged for the re-
lief of starving orphans in Bible
lands.
Hon. John H. Early of Chattanooga
who, in conjunction with leading
farmers and state officials is engag-
ed in perfecting complete state or
ganization, has received the follow
ing letter from Governor Taylor:
September 5, 1921.
Hon. John H. EARLY,
Director, Near East Relief,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
Dear Sir:-
l will be glad to serve as an homo
rary member of the State Agricultur-
al Advisory Committee of the Near
East Relief, and take this Opportun-
ity to give the movement to raise a
contribution of grain in Tennessee
for the relief of the starving people
of the Near East my hearty indorse-
ment.
According to prevailing praces Of
farm products, the farmers of Tennes-
see will not realize any profits from
their crop yields this year, but I feel
sure that from their surplus they will
be glad to contribute the amount
asked of the state for the purpose.
The people of Tennessee have never
failed to respond to call for help
of this kind, and know you can de-
pend ON them to help.
With best wishes for the success Of |
yolr campaign, am.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) A. A. Taylor, Gov.
''We have met with the most cor
dial and enthusiastic support and |
cooperation from all quarters" said |
Mr.. Early, 'in our efforts to organ1
ize this state upon 100 per cent
volunteer basis, in order that every
dollars worth of corn and wheat con-
tributed by the farmers Of Tennes-
see shall represent one hundred cents
worth OF food delivered to the hun
CRY children of the Near East"
Tennessee has never failed to do
its full part in any charitable or hut
name undertaking and the present
indications are that she will measure
up to the requirements OF this great
opportunity of SERVICE"
II have just received message
from Mr.. Alonzo 3. Wilson, National
Field Director, which reads:
"Opening Grain Campaign in West
Virginia. Five counties pledged fee
cars of corn. Five counties pledge
five cars wheat. West Virginia will
raise more than its quota"
"If state" said Mr.. Early, that |
has no surplus of grain to sell can |
put 1t over, there can be no doubt
as to the outcome In the Volunteer
State" 1

to communicate with him promptly I

TAX REVISION
A LA MODE

Congress has been in recess and bus
iness has been under the strain of a
months additional delay in waiting
for the tax revision bill, three mat.
ters Of administration policy have
been developed definitely for action
when the extra session reconvenes on
September 81. The measures to
which the President has given his
approval, insisting that they be pas.
| sed, are:
Repeal of the excess profits tax
and higher surtaxes to be made re-
troactive January 1, 1921, instead O,
January /, 1922, as passed by the
House.
Passage Of bill appropriateing
$500, 100000 to aid the railroads.
Passage of Penrose Bill for refund
ing war loans.
The tax bill as originally drawn
provided that the repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax and the higher sur
taxes be made retroactive as of jan
uary l, 1921, but the injustice of lift
ing these taxes from the corporations
war profiteers and multi-millionaires
for the current year, with no cores
ponding benefit to any one else was
so apparent, that the House Repub-
lican caucus refused to sanction 1t.
This change was referred to by
Representative Garner (Dem. Tex),
of the Ways and Means Committee,
when the bill was under discussion as
follows:
How could you defend, is there a
man living who can defend, the pro-
position Of repeating the excess-prOf-
it's taxes for this calendar year 1921?
Nearly eight months of the year are
gone mine months now) and probably
ten of them will be gone before this
bill finally becomes law, and YET
the Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee reported to
your conference a bill which would
have repealed the excess. profits tax
as of January 1, 1921. To do this, af-
ter these corporations who will pay
the tax have already made the prof
its, would have been so manifestly un-
just that I imagine that some intel |
ligent Republican, some one who has
some lingering regard for the masses
of the people, called attention to it !
in your conference, and because there,
is still left a portion of your member |
ship who believes in some semblance |
Of justice, you defeated the proposit-
lon to repeal the taxes as Of January
/, 1921, and repealed them as of Jan.
1, 1922 The same proposition holds
with reference to the reduction of the
surtaxes."
Big business, however, had been
promised this reduction, and Presi-
lent Harding's reported decision to
insist that the repeal Of these taxes
be made retroactive is at least an ef-
tort on his part to keep his party's
pledge. II the Senate shall submit to
executive domination and lift these
taxes, which hereto
ore have yielded $450,00O, 900, from
hose most able to bear them, there
s nothing yet to indicate that the
House will agree it. Aud If it shall
ecede from its former attitude where
ire the taxes to come from to make
'ood the loss from excess profits and
ligher surtaxes Of approximately
hree-quarters of billion of dollars?

Superintendent Zaneis has submitted
the question of consolidating that dis

The proposed consolidation will em-
brace beside district 3, district 10,
known as the Dunlap school situated
three miles north and district 2.
known as Clinton school situated three
miles east.
The matter will have to be submit.
ted to vote Of the people living in
those districts to determine their
wishes.
Mrs. zaneis states If the districts
are consolidated that it win result in
five or six room brick building be-
ing erected, that provisions will bc
made to transport children 10 school

will he accredited with from one to
two years Of high school work.
Mrs. Zaneis says that other states
have solved the high school prob>
lem through consolidation, and that
several counties in Oklahoma have.
already been fully grouped. and she
sees no reason why the same should
not apply to Carter county.
The county superintendent says that
this is the only plan whereby child
rem in the rural districts can enjoy
the same advantages afforded the city
pupil.
Since statehood but one consol-
dated district has been formed in
Carter county, that OF the Wheeler
district, but Mrs. Zaneis says she is
going to make an effort to create
more OF them while she holds office.
Last week Richard H. Cloyd, state
high school inspector together with
the county superintendent visited the
schools at Springer, Woodford, Gra-
ham, Lone Grove, Mary Niblack ard
Berwyn, and made an inspection of
them. They found that many details
would have to be complied with be-
fore they could be accredited with
high school work.
Mrs. Zaneis says she is striving to
create u sentiment in these districts
to correct conditions and hopes TO
succeed.
Mrs. Zaneis says that she is going
to try and give the children in the
rural districts every advantage en-
joyed by the city scholar, but ii will
require the combined effort of every
patron If she succeeds.
Mrs. Zaneis will take the matter
of consolidating the Hignight school
with the two districts proposed at
once and determine just what action
will be taken with reference TO re-
building the destroyed building.
