Methodist To Establish School
For MOunttin People.

Inc eSCdDllSnmenC OF u nlgn
school at Crossville for the ben
eft of the mountain people in
that section, has been underta
ken by the Tennessee confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South as a special plan
growing out of the Christian ed
ucation movement. The school
will be fully equipped to meet
the needs of the community in
which it is to be located.
The Tennessee conference
mission Board from its Centena-
ry fund has already made an
appropriation of $4,000 toward
this object and $3.50, 600 has been
put in the askings of the Tenn
essee conference from the $33,
900, 600 fund of the Christian
education movement, to be paid
from this years campaign.
The governor of the State has
added his approval Of the pro
jected school by signing the act
authorizing Cumberland county
to appropriate $3.50 from the
county funds to aid in it's estab-
lishment.
The school will be the educa-
tional center of that section, the
plan being to erect branch
schools from time to time in Sec
tions where the public schools
are inadequate. The Crossville
school will cover a full high
school course and will also in
clude vocational departments of
farming. dairying, domestic
science, domestic art, CONNER
cial branches and normal train
ing for teachers and leaders. A
course of Bible study and read
ings will be a special feature of
the school and none but Christ
ians of the highest character
will be employed as teachers.
The building will be located on
an eminence overlooking the
Dixie Highway and will COM
mand a fine view. The school
will be q miles from Crossville,
near the Tennessee Central rail-
road. The farm Of 42O acres,
the gift of public spirited citi-
zens of Croosville, lies along the
Big Obey river and is very fer
tile. 1t is adapted to growing
berries, apples. grapes, and gar
den vegetables and is also fine
for cattle grazing. The board
of trustees are planning to begin
building at an early date. The
outcome of this project fostered |
by the Christian education NOV
ement is expected to yield far
reaching results both in material
advancement and spiritual up
lift.

BUSINESS OF COUNTRY IN
PROVING SLOWLY.

DdNlu T. AOuoOOiS AVAhSA
Secretary of Agriculture, in anal
izing a countrywide survey Of
industrial, financial, agricultural
and other economic conditions,
declares that the big national
question is taxation with peace
settlement and international
trade next. :"
The survey made in all of the
geographical divisions of the
United States by field agents of
the Fidelity & Deposit Co., Of
this city consisted of answers to
36 questions by farmers, bank
ers, manufacturers and public
officials. An interesting feature
of the statistics is that in every
section except New England and
the Rocky Mountain States
building operations show g
marked increase. General tran
sportation conditions in every
state were reported good" and
raw meterials plentiful. Saving
accounts, the survey showed,
increased in nineteen states.
Police officials of q states said
there had been a noticeable in
crease in crime over last Sept
ember, a decrease was reported
in "a other ttates, Tennessee in-
cluded.
In every state the consensus
of opinion was that the farmers
have not disposed of all their
last seasons crops. Low prices
and shortage of money and labor
are said to have caused a re-
duction in acreage in all the
states except Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
the Pacific Coast states. The
crop outlook for 1921, however,
in every case. was rePorted fair
or good.
"The survey indicates that the
businea world is still feeling its
way, but with increasing conf
dence and with the conviction
that the worst has passed."
said former Secretary Houston..
The country has successfully
born the strain caused by a most
notable drop in prices, particu-
larly of a vast volume of raw
materials, and has weathered a
trying perod OF liquidation.
The demand for finished pro-
duets has not developed to the
point where our factories feel
justified in taking the requisite
quantity OF our surplus raw ma
terials to furnish the necessary
relief to their producers; but
there some indications of O
change in this direction.
This survey does point to
certain favorable conditions.
The cost of living has apprecia-
bly, deminished. Building oper-
ations in number of districts
tend to increase. There have
recently been no strikes of con-
sequence. Greater productivity
of labor per man is reported
from all districts. Raw materi-
ais are plentiful. and physical
transportation conditions are
good. There have been no busi-
ness failures of moment. The
crop outlook is satisfactory: and
the banking situation has i'm
proved.
The country is better of to
day than it was three months
ago. and manufactures in grow
ing numbers are planning de.
finite production schedules. In
formation from other quarters
than this survey indicates that
the automobile industry and
some textile lines are picking up
now But the public is still re-
stricting its buying and probab-
" will continue to purchase
cautiously until retail price re-

High School Meet Held Fri
day and Saturday.


at Gainesboro Friday and Satur.
day. April 1st and End, all OF
the schools of Jackson County
were represented. Gainesboro
North Springs, Granville and
Wartrace The main contest
was between Gainesboro and
North Springs. Owing to heavy
rains and high waters Granville
Wartrace were late in entering
the contests. Another reason
of them not taking more ac-
tive part was due to their schools
being out and their teachers
were not there to organize and
have them in readiness for the
first days program. The War
trace teacher was held at home
on account of sickness of his
wife and the Granville teacher
had to come from her home at a
distance and could only get there
for the last days program. The
North Springs people were here
on time with faculty, pupils,
properly backed by the parents
and patrons of the pupils.

tween (iaiaesboro and North

MRS. PETIT PRAISES
CHAUTAUQUA SPEAKER

Mrs. J. w Petit recently remarked
to member of the local chautauqua
committee that she considered Dr.
Thomas Greene one of the finest
speakers she had ever heard. Mrs.
Petit contributed the following:
ant at the Ottawa chautauqua, and

item concerning DR.. Greene Mrs
Petit contributed tie following:
81 am very glad to known that you
have secured the services of Rev
Tohmas f. Greene for the opening
day of the Ottawa Chautauqua.
Il have known him for many years
as a public speaker. AS past rector
of the Church of Epiphany in Chicago
he has many acquaintances and ad
mirers in this vicinity. OF late years
his services have been much sought
after in Chautacqua circles and also
as patriotic speaker for general AS
sembles.
81 heard him first at Mt Vernon. d.
c., where he gave an address before
the Sons of the American Revolution,
from Baltimore, who have come thith-
er on pilgrimage to visit the tomb
of Washington. His topic was Lest
we forget" and truly those who heard
his address could not readily forget
anything he said concerning the pat
riotism Of our country. He is chaplin
of the Sons Of the American Revolu-
tion in his home town at Culpeper
Virginia.
His sister, Miss Jeanette is mecl-
Der of the staff of the Chicago Public

BIRD REFUSES TO
DESERT EX-OWNER

Dubuque, Aug. 20-Bereft Of wild
bird pets, F. H. Rhomberg, Dubuques
nature loving hermit, is changed
man.
For more than score of years he
has surrounded himself in his home
on rolling bottom land of the Mis-
sissippi river with song birds that
learned to love their captivity. But
as the years ran on the state law
makers forbade caging song birds,
and recently the old man was ar.
rested and fined, and the birds were
set free. 'n|s
In one cage. larger than the rest
a brilliant Kentucky Cardinal linger
ed when "a recent visitor called. Its
door was open
"He will never CO." said the old
man. wiping his brow with BAN
tdana as he-gaged upon the row upon
row of empty stalls. "He is the one
friend | have left. because the law
tells me that | am abusing my4friends
the birds, for whom | have always
labored and loved
There you see" and going to the
window that overooks an orchard,
meadow and; strip Of rolling hills,
he pointed tota host of bird houses
and natural bathing pools.
IF that Is abusing the things l
love" he said, then I am guilty.
Squirrels, rabbits with young, cats
that refuse to bother the birds. and
two great mastiffs, held in leash by
heavy log chains, completed the life
of the little farm home.
The birds were his dearest posses
SIGN. Hundreds more of them built
in the vicinity of his home. Fearful
of the law, yet with a desire to aid
the creatures he has ministered to so
long, the old man still prepares food
for the songsters and watches them
lovingly as they fly to him for the
delicacies he always has.
He. does not fondle or caress them
now.
