HELP US TO BE PROMPT

A combination Of circumstances
has prevented us from getting the
Herad out on time this week, some
OF which we're unavoidable. How.
ever, we must again call on our ad-
vertisers and contributors to get their
copy in earlier thas has been their
custom, or we will be late every week.
We have had to leave out several
good contributions this week on ac-
count of being received too late.
These articles could have and would
have been published in lieu Of some
that are published but when We al
ready have articles in type they must
be given the preference, although bet.
ter and more interesting ones may
come in later.
Ali news articles of any consider
able length and all adyirtising that
can possibly be gotten ready should
be in the office by Tuesday night in
order to insure favorable space, then
on Wednesday we can arrange for
late copy which could not be gotten
ready sooner If this rule is adhered
to it will be no trouble to get the pa
per out on time each week, bue other
wise it cannot be done.

AARON soccs"

The play, Aaron Boggs," which
was staged by the Senior class of the
r. P. I. on Friday evening, March An
under the dictatorship of Prof. Nc
Clanahan, was pronounced one of the
very best amateur performances ev-
er seen in Cookeville, and we under
stand was literally patronized by the
people of Cookeville, although per
haps not to the extent that it deserv-
ed. The Herald man regretted his
inability to attend the play, and on
account of his absence could not give
an intelligent write-up of the per-
formance, but fully expeSted some
of the people interested to furnish
him with the data at least from which
write-up could be manufactured.
and even asked one or two people to
do this, but up to the present, nothing
has shown up, we We shall be COM
pelled to let it pass with sincere
regret that nothing was rendered, ex-
cept that the play was staged sue
cessfully, and that the prize offered
by Prof. McClanahan to the player
who most cleverly portrayed the char
acter of the individual which he rep
resented, was won by Keith Bohan-
on, the prize being an eleven dollar
box OF candy, which mo doubt doubl.

young actor among his school mates,
especially those Of the gentle sex.

27 to 4 in favor of the city school.
Farley shot nine field goals and
one foul; Story, two field goals and
two fouls; Lofts two field goals.

fact that Livingston did not get a
single field goal.
The work of the Expression de-
partment closed Friday evening with
"a reading and defamation contest.
Twelve girls and four boys took part.
The readings and declamations re-
feet great credit to Miss Cowden's
work. The medal winners were:
Clifford Massa in defamation, and
Mary Frances McDearman. in reading.
The expression department closed
earlier than the regular school term
because of Miss Cowden's Chautau-
qua contract which required her pres
ence in Topeka, Kansas, earlies than
had been expected.

with Cook willie merchants, but it is
so in other lines of local trade. Our
produce houses have not allowed the
big slump in the markets to inter-

good living prices for everything they
have bought and have k.pt supplying
their outside trade as usual with sat

vague rumor to the effect that the
Cookeville Veneering mills would
shut down some tim ethis spring was
without any foundation whatever,

Nashville, Tenn, (SpeciaD-Th.
establishment Of a high school a.
Crossville for the benefit of the noun
tain people in this section, has beer
undertaken by the Tennessee confer
| ence of the Methodist Bpiscopa
Church, South as a special plan grow
ing out of the Christian education
movement. The school will be bully
equipped to meet the needs of the
community in which it is to be locat
ed.
The Tennessee Conference Mis-
sion Board from it's Centenary fund
has already made an appropriation
of $4,000 toward this object and
$150,000 has been put in the askings
of the Tennessee conference from the
$33 100000 fund of the Christian
Education movement, to be paid from
this years campaign.
The governor of the State has added
his approval of the projected school
by signing the act authorizing Cum
berland county to appropriate $2,50C
from the county funds to aid in its
establishment. -,y
The school will be the educational
center of that section, the plan being
to erect branch schools from time
to time in sections where the public
schools. are inadequate. The Cross
Vile school will cover "a full high
school course and will also include
vocational departments Of farming
dairying, domestic science, domestic
art, commercial branches and nor.
mai training for teachers and leaders.
A course of Bible study and readings
will be special feature of the school
and none but Christians of the high.
est character will be employed as
teachers. -
The building will be located on an
eminence overlooking the Dixie High.
way and will c0mmant a fine view.
The school will be two and a half
miles from Crossville, near the Ten.
nessee Central railroad. The farm OF
420 acres, the gift of public spirited
citizens of Crossville, lies along the
Big Obey River and is very fertile.
It is adapted to growing berries, ap.
pies, cherries, grapes and garden
vegetables and is also fine for cat.
tie grazing.
! The board of Trustees are plann-
ing to begin building at an early
date. The outcome of this project
fostered by the Christian education
movement is expected to yield far
reaching results both in material ad.
vancement and spiritual uplift.
