NATAL DAY
FITTINCLY CELEBRATED

The Independence Day celebration
held at the Tennessee Polytechnic
institute, Monday under the auspices
of the faculty and student body OF
the summer school now in session
was one of the most successful af
fairs of the kind ever held in Cooke.
vile and toe much credit cannot be
accorded the promoters, for it was
indeed a glorious day for Cookeville
and surrounding communities.
The people began to assemble at an
early hour Monday morning. All
roads led to Cookeville On this day,
and travellers of all conditions ana
ages could be seen from to II a. m.
nding their way to the Tennessee
Polytechnic grounds which. was the
mecca to which they were all bound.
Hundreds of people came from Over
ton, Jackson and White counties to
join in the celebration, h ;lping ma
terially to swell the grand total to
something like 5000 people, all told.
1t was the most orderly and well be-
haved crowd Of its size ever as
sembled in this town, and the whole
day passed Off without accident or
incident to mar the pleasure of the
participants, so far as we are aware.
Our neighboring city of Livingston
sent a most Representative body of
her citizens to join in the festivities,
besides a baseball team that acquit-
ted itself with honor and renown by
defeating the local nine to the score
tune of seventeen to eight.
The community singing was led by
Prof. c. B. Richmond of the T. p. l.,
and was very much enjoyed by all.
The singing contest was a most inte-
resting feature, there being three
community choirs contesting for the
500 prize offered. The contestants
were Abner Chaffin and the Nc
Broom Chapel choir; Lee Judd with
the Double Springs choir, and Mr..
Gunter with the Oak Hill community
singers. Mr.. Chaffin and his class
won the prize, but the Judges had a
difficult task in making the decision
and declared that they felt that each
one of the choirs richly deserved a
prize. The 500 prize went to the
leader, while fine box Of candy was
given the class.
The Fiddlers contest was next on
the program and in this there were
five contestants: Levi Dunn. Wat
son Scarlet, w. L. Tomasson, Gilbert
Norris and H. Shumake. The prize,

COUNTY COURT In
QUARTERLY SESSION
Tax Lew Postponed Until
October Term

The Putnam County Quarterly
court met on Tuesday, July 5th and
transacted business in the regular
order. Judge H. d. Whitson presid-
ed over the court, and there was the
usual good attendance of magistrates
from the several districts of the
county.
The regular routine of business
was dispatched. The tax levy was
not made at this term, but will be
made at the October term. A reso-
luton was introduced and adopted,
calling on the State Board of Equali-
zation to reduce the tax rate in Put.
nam county 20 per cent and put US
on an equal footing with adjacent
counties.
The report of Chairman Benton N.
Carr of the County farm commission
was the best report ever turned into
the court, and showed that the
county farm is at last being run
strictly On business basis. Mr.. Carr
and Supt. w. w. Brown were highly
recommended by the court for the
efficient management Of the affairs
of the farm, which they had made
self-supporting. with the exception Of
a little more than $4,000 for the past
quarter, whereas in former times,
the county had been put to great
expense in maintaining the farm. The
products of the farm such as corn,
hay butter, eggs, ETC., have been
marketed to the best advantage, and
with results highly satisfactory to
the court.
The County Board of Education
was reelected, without any serious
opposition, with Lee Brown OF the
4th district as an additional member.
The report submitted by the Board
for the school levy for the coming
year was accepted by the court which
guaranteed that the budget as rec
commended by the Board would be
financed at the October term.
Supervisor of Roads, Jere Whitson,
made his report to the court and
showed them just how he was going
about inaugerating a system of good
roads for Putnam county. He has his
organization about complete now,
and We have the finest prospects for
securing good roads that we have
had in many years. The new law ia
working we'll and growing in favor

DEMONSTRATION WORK
REVEALS TALENT

The home demonstration agent
touches the life of those she meets
and helps far more deeply than ap-
pears in typewriter reports about
the number present in various class
es, the quantities if vegetables can
ned, hats made, or similar evidenc-
es of her activities. In New York
State the woman thanks the home
demonstration agent of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State agricultural college,
because her tntire outlook on life has
altered, her usefulness to her family
has more than doubled, and her serv-
ice to the community at large has a
recognizable value.
This college trained woman had
large ideas Of making her life count
for something, at the time Of her
marriage to farmer. Through mis-
fortunes Of one kind and another
things went from bad to worse on
the farm, till they reached somewhat
hopeless situation. The woman want
ed to help out financially. but could
find very little she was capable OF
doing. Because she wanted to be-
come a part Of her community she
became identified with club work. The
home demonstration agent found her
and asked her to prepare the local
reports. These we're so clearly done
that they attracted attention. She
became local leader. Then she
was given page to prepare in the
Farm and Home Bureau Monthly,
and did 1t so helpfully that she had
soon earned over 800 and made q
permanent place Tor herself. Hhe
gives all the credit to the home DEM
agent who helped her to
find herself.

CELEBRATED AT SHIPLEY

Something like 1000 people gather
ed at Shipley last Sunday morning
to participate in and witness the
celebration of Sunday School, or
Children's day, and the whole day
was spent in a most enjoyable man
ner by all who were fortunate enough
to be there.
The day which was one of the hot
test Of the season, was an ideal one
for an outdoor gathering, and the
people from many sections of the
county began to arrive in the early
part Of the forenoon, and by 9:45 a.
M, when the program was begun, the
spacious grounds were covered with
an interested audience. The morning
program was long one In point OF
numbers, but there was not dull
feature presented, and the large aud
fence was entertained from start to
finish. The children showed plainly
that they had received careful train
ing and in their drills, songs and
reci tations did credit to themselves
and their teachers. The children Of
tender age carried out their parts
with wonderful tact and skill, and
the larger ones also acquitted them
selves with equal honor and credit.
Supt Chas. r. Countiss and his
corps Of assistants certainly gave the
public a splendid and most inspiring
entertainment and one which was
very much appreciated.
AT noon a most bouneous dinner
was spread and 1t Is needless to
state was very much enjoyed by the
people. Although the crowd was
large one. the dinner was all suffc-
lent in quantity and Of quality which
could no be surpassed. In he after
noon the people were entertained with
beautiful music from the choir, and
q most interesting and Instructive
sermon delivered by Rev w. H.
Presiding elder of the
Cookeville District.

LIBRARY MEMORIAL
FOR SOLDIERS

Our county paid heavy toll in the
world war. Our gold stars should
never be forgotten. Why not estab-
lish county memorial library in
which the names, records, and hero
ism of the life and death of every
sailor and soldier may be forever
preserver. What more appropriate
and lasting memorial could be made
to them, what more practical, time
ly, beneficent tribute for their living
comrades among whom they were
born and reared and whom they low
ed and gave their lives for?
Is not living library carrying
books, education, culture and happi-
ness to every boy and girl more to
be desired than monuments of mar.
BILE and tablets Of bronze? If these
boys were alive would they not rather
see established memorial that
would be a constant blessing to 9th.
ers than to have mere bronze erect.
ed to their memory? Such a library
would be- Of inestimable value and
ever increasing usefulness second
only to the public school. It would
mean free books, free service, free
education, culture and happiness to
all the people of the entire county
all the time. Many counties in the
state are taking advantage Of the
new free library law. Why not es-
tablish one in our own county? For
full information write at once to John

he met Snodgrass on the public road
and had drawn Q shotgun on him.

DIR. G. |. MAYFIELD
ORNITHOLOCIST
Visits Cookeville And Organizes
Bird Club

DIR. G. l.. Mayfield of Nashville, one
Of the SOuthland's best ornithologists,
delivered an enjoyable lecture on
bird lore last Wednesday evening.
June 20, in the Tennessee Polytech-
mic Auditorium to an appreciative
audience. All the birds discussed
were illustrated, and some of their
cries reproduced,
DIR. Mayfield said that Tennessee
is one of the foremost bird states,
that being, geographically, a middle
state 1t gets many birds that go no
farther south for the winter and
many others in the summer that go
no farther north. There are more
than 13O different kinds in Tennes-
see alone, most of which are bene-
ficial He declared that even the
much hated and much hunted old
Chickne Hawk often feasts on snakes
and mice, therefort it should be kill
ed only when 1t has become a chick
en- thief; however the Big Bi
the Little Blue Darter Hawks should
be killed on sight.
During his discourse he explained
how, of all the millions of birds in
the United States, only compare.
lively few are the farmers enemy,
since most of them assist rather than
hinder crops by s1bsisting on insect
pests. The English Sparrow, the
Sapsucker, and the Blackbird are
among the harmful birds. He also
mentioned how birds with their glad
music brighten and cheer this old
world:
A bird-song is a single star
Shining from heaven gray;
A bird-song is the break of dawn
That Shoes our griefs away;
A birdsong is lyric sweet
That inspires courage true;
A bird-song is the peep of Spring
And does our faith renew.
Quite early the following morning,
while the town still srumbered he
conducted small stalking party of
enthusiastic bird lovers thru the
woodlands near town: They crept
thru bliers and stubby underground,
over rotting logs, and down in elvan
ravines sweet with the wild rose,
where luscious, dew besprinkled
blackberries hung in clusters, and
where the clear, bell-like notes of the
Wood Thrush charmed the air; thru
all this they crept looking, listening,
searching for binds. More than 30
different kinds were seen and heard
before DR.. Mayfied suggested home,
adding whimsically that they had
neither seen a Swallow, nor had a
swallow" Later he declared Cooke
vile should have a Bird Club, and
evidently being man of action, pro-
posed organizing one right then. The
proposition was hailed joyfully and
the election moved forward with the
following result: Pres, T. L. Pas
sons; Vice Pres, Valeria Burton; Sec
retary, Liza Anderson.
