YORK FARM FUND
GROWING SLOWLY

The Nashville Banner and Tenn D
sean and the Rotary Club are inte-
rested in raising fund tor the York
Farm, and the combined contributions
amount to more than seven hundred
dollars. This is laudable work and
should be done, inasmuch as In tho
heat of enthusiasm over tho war hero,
Sergeant York, the farm was pre-
sented to him by an admiring state,
it would be a pity indeed II In the
aftermath of indifference, II should
be allowed to be taken from him.
Better never to have given the gift,
than for it to be lost to him. Tho
county is near enough to Yorks homo
that we should be interested in con-
tributing to this fund, either through
the Herald or through one of the
Nashville papers. Sergeant York
did mot ask for anything at the hands
of his state when he returned q not

by refusal Of the state to
live up to its promise. The promises
made during the excitement Of war
have been alas, like pie-crusts-ees.

The Algood Chautauqua will open
on Saturday afternoon and will con.
tinue through Monday and Tuesday
with afternoon and evening pro-
grams. The afternoon lectures will

unusual interest.
The Algood people responded gen.

thusiasm. We can do no less than
they in attending their Chautauqua

expect a combination in that line un-
til We show spirit of reciprocity as

REMAINS TO Be MOVED

The remains of Frank Richmond will
be moved from Cookeville cemetery
to the Henry Richmond cemetery on
Flynn's Greek, ON Sunday, and a brief
funeral service will be held at this
cemetery at 1880 p. M. Mrs. Rich
mond and Captain Frank Richmond
have gone down to make arrange
ments for the bul ial and Mrs. Rich
mond will remain with relatives there
but Captain Richmond will return to
Cookeville to. go down on Sunday
with Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Carlen and
the family. 1t was the request of MI.
Richmond that he be taken to this
burial place at some convenient time.
Colonel Russ Richmond was pre-
vented from attending this service
by army matters that claimed his at
tention. He and Captain Frank Rich.
mond are both stationed at Fort Riley,
Kansas. Each OF these mem have
risen to success rapidly, but with all
the long separations and the success
that constantly attends their way,
they remain devoted to the old home,
their own people and their many
friends in Tennessee who are very
proud of these splendid men.

DR.. COLES RESIGNATION
REGRETTED

1t is with sincere regret that Cooke
vile has learned of the resignation
of DR.. Cole from the place he has
held so faithfully and efficiently as
pastor Of the Presbyterian Church
in Cookevile. He not only has been
tender. loving pastor of his own
flock, but of all with whom he came
In contact, and especially Of the sick,
afflicted and sorrowing. Both he
and his wife have been a decided ac-
QUESTION to our town, and will be
missed in social and religious circles
more than can be expressed to them.
They will go, no doubt to a better
pastorate, but let us hope that to more
that they will love more than Cooke
vile, and the good wishes Of the Her
aid, as well as the entire community
go with them.

C0OKEVILLE ENJOYS :"
SPLENDID PROSPERITY

/ The United States Government has
sent into our midst 260 young men
disabled soldiers OF the World war
young men who shed their blood on
the battlefelds Of France while
fighting for those of US who remain
ed at home. These $50 young men
have been sent here by a generous
and grateful government to be edu.
Gated and receive vocational training.
The government is paying the Tennes.
see Polytechnic Institute $7.50 per
month tuition for teaching each one
of these stu lents, and in addition is
supplying each of these young men
with from 500 to $40 per month in
cash to maintain themse' es while
they are in our midst. This means
that Uncle Sam" Is turning loose
in our town about Half a Million dol
lars per year. And this is not all, the
government is ready, willing knd
anxious to send several hundred more
of these splendid young soldiers to
Oookeville to be educated just as
soon as the Tennessee Polytechnic
Institute and the community is pre-
pared to receive them. What is the
matter with our community that It
does not Immediately prepare to re-
ceive and care for at least one
thousand of these young men? The
citizens of Cookeville in conjunction
with President Smith of the Tennes-
see Polytechnic Institute should i'm
mediately make the necessary ar
rangemenns to receive the several
hundred additional students who can
be had by simply saying to the gov
ernment authorities, 1--WE are ready
to receive them,-just send them on"
The Tennessee Polytechnic Insd-
tute and the town of Cookeville now
have the greatest opportunities of
any school and town in Tennessee.
The burning question now is, will the
school and the town take advantage
of these splendid opportunities?

MANY MoNg DWELLINGS
NEEDED

In comparison with other towns OF
similar population. the growth and
prosperity of Cookeville during the
past two pears has been wonderful.
There is not a vacant residence OF
business house in Cookeville. Every.
body who will rent one or more rooms
for light housekeeping has only to
let the fact be known and there will
promptly be numerous applicants.
All of the carpenters in this city
!. and vicinity have been busy through.
out the year building new residenc-
yes in Cookeville. While building ope-
-rations have been practically suspend
Led throughout the country for the
past fiye years, yet more houses have
been built in Cookeville during the
past year than were ever before
erected here in any one year.
All families who will take boarders
have only to let the fact be known,
and they can readily obtain all of
the boarders that they can care for.
Our merchants and business mem
are enjoying splendid patronage
and activity and hustle is manifest
on every hand.
Our professional men are all busy,
and when one calls at their offices
to consult them, they generally have
to spend some time in their recep-
tion rooms before they can have an
opportunity to interview them.
Our labortng population all have
plenty of work at good prices, and
there is shortage of labor in the
community.
ALI that our people know from
experience concerning the hard times
which now hold in their grasp prac-
.tically all other communities is
what they read in the newspapers
and hear visitors from other towns
and cities say
In the midst of our prosperity as a
town let us stop and inquire why
and how it is that Cookeville is so
prosperous while the country as a
whole is in the grip of hard times.
The explanation is readily found.

ANOTHER MEMORIAL ROOM

A memorial room will be furnished
in the new hospital my Mrs. Nora
Taylor of Livingston and her two

Harlan Taylor of Livingston, in men,
ory of her usband, Mr.. A. J. Taylor,
who was a well known educator of
this section of the state, having been
at the head of the Livingston schools
for many years.
Mrs. Taylor had contemplated a me-
mortal room for some school, but has
decided to place it in the hospital for
the comfort of the sick, instead.

WOMAN CHRISTIAN WORKER

An interesting meeting Of the union
meeting to be held in Cookeville will
: be the presence Of Miss Sara C. Palm

women and girls. Avery attractive

woman, she will indeed prove an &C.
Qsisition to the meeting She will
ARRANGE special services for society
women, business women. college
and Aigh school girls, and all women
who need her advice and help, may
feel free to call ON her She will be
heard at least once each day and her
messages to the women and girls
will be we'll worth hearing. She un-
derstanjs the world from woman's
viewpoint therefore can meet the
women's problems with more kind
ness and sympathy than can man,
however so good 4. minister he may
be. She is fully aware that there are
needs of life for women in social serv-
ice, business, and school work, and
can give them many points of help
in the line in which they are serving
mankind. The higher the type Of
women In town or community, the
better, purer and more worthwhile
is that town, for after all a woman's
influence is the pendulum by which
he world swings.

Adventures probably reached
the present site Of Memphis on
the Mississippi. The French
under La Sale built a fort here
about 1852. The English also
laid claim to this territory, In
cludins 1t in the grant to North
Carolina. II was not until ITO
that the nrst permanent settle
ment was made by James Rob-
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed BY many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as 1t was
promptly annexed to North
Carolina. In 1784 the inhabi-
tants, indignant over North Car
olina's attitude toward them,
declared their independence and
formed the State Of Franklin
or FARMLAND. As this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for a number
Of years a state Of confusion
existed with two sets Of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish, who still held Lou
isiana, and controlled the Mis-
sissippi river. In 179O North
Carolina finally ceded this ter
ritory to the United States. BY
1708 the population had in
creased to over 10000, so Ten
nessee was admitted as the SIX
teenth state Of the Union.
At the outbreak Of the Civil
war, Tennessee Joined the Con-
federacy. In 1868 when the
state was readmitted to the Un-
ion, there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to the formation Of the
Ku Klux Klan, the influence Of
which quickly spread through
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
its own hands the suppress
sion Of crime and the admin
istration of justice.
Tennessee contains 42,022 4
square miles, and is sometimes
called the Volunteer state. 1t
is named after it's principal riv-
er, which is a Cherokee word
meaning Crooked River" or
bend in the river"

At conference between Pres

treasury and leaders In the House Of
Representatives, including members
of the ways and means committee, a
decision was reached to reduce taxes
to the extent of approximately $500,
100000, and to reduce government

The repeal of so-cal1ed nuisance
taxes on fountain drinks and ice
cream, and so-called luxury taxes on
wearing apparel, $50,0O0,OOO.
AS an offset against this cut of
1920, 100000 it was agreed to increase
tax on corporations by probably 2 and
" per cent, instead of per cent, as
was heretofore proposed, effective as
of last January l, to yield an addit-
ional $125,OOO,O0O.
1t was said that a decision was
reached to abandon all new txxes sug-
gested by Seer tary Mellon, including
license on automobiles, bank check
stamp tax and an increase of one per
cent in the first class postage rate.
Members of the ways and means CON-
mittee are to meet at once to draft
new revenue bill on the basis Of
the revisions agreed upon. Hope for
its passage by the House on August
goth, was expressed.
Under agreement reached at the
conference, government expenditures
will be reduced from the previous
estimate of $4,554,000, 900 to $3,075,-
100000. The total income from Ill
sources was estimated at $4,C35 ,O00,.

toms, s490, 1000, 900 from miscellaue-

Besides the so per cent cut in
transportation taxes, effective next
January 1, the conference was sa1c
officially to have greed to have a
provision in the bill for elimintion or
balance of these taxes on January /,
1928.
The decision to make the repeal of
the excess profits tax and higher in.
come surtaxes retroactive was some
thing of surprise, as there had been
strong sentiment in the House com.
mittee to defer these repeals until
next January LIST. Under the agree
mnt the highest income surtaxes for
this year will be 80 per cent, and
there will be further cut to rs per
cent on next January LIST.
