Now that the election and have four years during

Parent Associations the schools that not

money prediction campaigns but peuppers ice suppers

Free Libraries Now
Available to Counties

Every county in Tennessee that
wants one may now have county
free library, which serves whole
county, just as city library serves
it's city, reaching every man, woman
and child in every corner of the
iounty1
This is made possible by the new
county library law passed in April
by the last legislature. It is an en-
abling act based partly on the sue
cessful methods in operation in
Ohio, Maryland, California and a
number Of other progressive states.
It authorizes county courts to estab-
lish and maintain county libraries
for all communities not now served
by 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 de-
post stations in country stores, post
offices and other convenient places,
Collections of books are placed and
frequently exchanged in village and
rural schools. The farm jewellers
are not overlooked; they are served,
in many instances, by book wagons
and motor trucks containing shelves
of books, resembling the R. F. D,
mail wagon, sent through the coun.
ty from the main libary and stopping
at farm houses to deliver and collectt

BIG TELEPHONE OFFERING

With reference to the Cumberland
Telephone Company's proposed raise
in telephone rates, the Nashville Ban
ner has the following to say in a re-
cent editorial:
In another column Of the Banner
is printed from the issue of the
New York Times Of May II some
very interesting, and at this particu-
lar time, especially pertinent, data
as to a new stock offer Of $9O,O00,-
600 by the American Telephone g
Telegraph Company Of America.
This increase will make the total
stock $685., 900, 600, or nearly $27,-
100000 in excess of the United
States Steel Corporations common
stock, outstanding. This added
stock was not underwritten because
it was the opinion of directors that
it would be readily absorbed by
shareholders, one share being al
lowed at par for each five shares
held by any of the ISL, 900 sharehold-
ers.
Only last March the dividend rate
of American Telephone & Telegraph
Comany stock was increased from
SO to SO on each 500 shares, which
should seem to be sufficient to at
tract subscription to the new issue.
The stock Of Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, formerly with its
main headquarters in Nashville, was
purchased some years ago by the
Southern Bell Co., with its head
quarters in Atlanta, Ga, paying the
Cumberland stockholders $3.50 IN

The parent company is the Amerl-

ticle and in card of Caldwell q

pany, which carries with it the Cum
berland.
That stock in the Bell Company is
highly appreciated in certain quarters
is evidenced by an advertising card
sent out by. Caldwell & Co., invest

As shown above, there is the clos
est inter-correlation between the
American, the Bell and the Cunber-
land, in fact, the two latter are
owned and controlled by the Ameri-
can Company. With such income as
the American Co. shows, with such
income and earning capacity as
Caldwell & Company proclaim for
the Bell, it seems, homogeneous and
illogical that the Cumberland should
be in such dire straits asits president,

would have the public and our Utili-

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

Whenever l see film cowboy lea. lightly to the saddle, subdue male olent mustang with one cut over the Hanks, and dash maoly over the mesa bounding over the chapparal as he Gashes, | wonder how he gets away with it.
 Sometimes think it must be trick photography But people who have heen in Hollywood say they actually do it. They do it with mean horses, too, horses that live only to curse the day they were born. and re- venge the misfortune of tMeir na- tiv.ty on anybody who attempts to r'de them.
 I love and admire horses, but nell their my sieve nor admiration is in the least degree returned.
 The most gentle horse that. ever drew junk wagon will pare his fangs and try to sink them in my quiver'ng flesh if I attempt to pet his nose or give him lump of sugar.
 The first Nme I ever mounted q rony he turned his head, regarded me With q glance in which pity and ha- tired strived for the mastery and proceeded to roll over on his back.
 He was light pony, otherwise l would have had to wear plaster casts on both arms and legs instead of merely one arm and one leg.
 There are people who can win the respect and confidence ot horse by merely looking at him. l am not enc of them. Somehow or other. hosses resent my glances as if they were mortal insults, and fly into black rage If they find me in their neigh bcrhood at all.
 You will therefore understand that was rather,>> reluctant, while the guest at a farm last Sunday, to toin q little riding party that was sallying forth to view the countryside.
 I requested. when the invitation was extended, to be allowed to ac- company the party in fl!vver. I dont know much about flivver, the worst I could do was to refuse to go.
 A Fiivver Is ImpersonaI
 Flivvers follow people about and assault them In moving pictures, but rarely elsewhere. I felt that with a flivver I should be reasonably safe.
 But the man who was organizing the party was one of those back shaping, buck up -old-scout pests who wouldn't take .no' for an an- swer

 perhaps it is so in all human
 things"
 1 was just thinking of the blessed ness and the dignity of labor, and, inmy mind, contrasting the present day with the South as it existed be- fore the Civil War. was thinking of all of it's ease and splendor and idleness. And To! it carried can ker in it's heart "that work was a disgrace" Ayoung gman who dared to leave home and go and clerk in a retail store was in many sections calleda a ''counter-hopper," and was not invited into the most exclusive circles.
 Contrast that day with the lot of the Southern boy born in the '60s and '7Os; most of them walked two or three miles to a country school, which they left when they were F OF 15 to help make ends meet at home. These were the boys that, as men, made a record in. the high est walks of life in every State of the Union.
 Take a town like Birmingham and call the roll It would amaze the public to know how many prosper ous men here today, who are seen riding around in automobiles and living in lovely homes, began life in the most humble way.
 They plowed a mule and dug ditches on the farm; they clerked in country stores, and did any kind of work that came to hand. This was really the groundwork of their present-day success.
 Every boy should have a copy of the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, for he teaches so we'll the importance of self-denial and fru- gality, and, above all else, of saving apart of what he makes.
 Work alone brings happiness, and the desire of achievement is the only real satisfaction. NZM1077azzz A,..... s.-, s'... A<. %c
