BARBOURVILLE BAPTIST
INSTITUTE OPENED TUESDAY

Tuesday morning the Barbour
Vile Baptist Institute opened its
doors to the biggest number of stu
dents that has ever attended. There
are about thirty more enrolled than
at this time last year and still others
are expected within short time.
The Institute has faculty to be
proud of and includes educators who
will bring about a high standard of
scholarship.
Opening addresses were made by
Robert W. Cole, cashier of the First
National Bank, w. r. Marsee, the
chairman of the Board of Trustees,
County Judge j. T. Stamper and DR..
Oscar Lee Minks, the new president
of the Institute.
The Commercial Department,
which Is under the able management
of Prof. Clarence E. Bunnell, is fill
ing up rapidly and this term will
turn out a considerable number Of
boys and girls who will be equipped
with a first class commercial educa-
tion and as a consequence will be
able to face life with that equanim-
ity which comes to those who are
prepared to fill business positions in
the commercial world.
Altogether the prospects for B..
B. I. are excellent and we are to be
congratulated on having such a wide
awake school in our midst.

punch work, knitted articles, tatting,
crocheted boudoir caps, hand knit
socks, embroidery, drawn work,
crocheted rag rugs, punch rugs
made with coffee sacks as a base,
quilt work, crazy quilts Zone that be-
longs to Mrs. f. G. Garrard being
rs years old) hexagon pattern
crocheted counterpanes, silk and can
leo quilts. All these things are mute
evidence of how much the home de-
pends on the needle of mother and
sister, without whom-but why con-
template such a horrible possibility!
Stock, apart from mules and
horses, was scarce and this depart
ment should be drummed up next
year. Knox County has excellent
possibilities for stock raising and in
this connection the Fair officials
should make it easy for several silo
concerns to show silos, with the
cutting and filling apparatus. They
increase the value of land by saving
everything grown from corn to sun
flowers, peas and grass and the in
crease in dairy cattle butter fat is
quite 25 per cent when ensilage is
fed.
The mule and horse display show
ed some good stock and created con-
siderable interest among the men.
Many outsiders, really home boys
and girls" came in for the Fair and
were hailed with delight. As a meet
ing place for old friends the Knox
County Fair takes the palm.
Its main weakness lies in the
stock department which should real
ly be a big factor. We believe that
it could be made a big feature by Of
fering good prizes and interesting
silo and farm machinery firms in
the stock end of things.
This is said In the friendliest
spirit as we believe the. stock hold
ers all have live stock development
at heart as a means OF promoting a
greater prosperity. That the other
displays were decidedly finer is also
la matter for congratulation.

100 COPPER STILLS SOLD FOR
JUNK AT PINEVILLE

One hundred copper stills cap
aired in various raids in the county,
were sold to a junk dealer from Gin
cinnati for copper manufacturers on
the court house steps at Pineville
Tuesday morning. The sale was
Amade by Judge Rollins, United
Mates Commissioner.
The officers around the court
house evidently hated to give them
up, so they posed among the hund-
red stills and had their pictures
taken. Those appearing in the pic
ture are Martin Green, sheriff, Doc
Green, Ben Gibson, John Wilson,
Federal agent. and Judge Creech.
The sale has not entirely depleted
the supply of stills, however, and the
sheriffs Office and the magistrates
Office still have a number on hand.

THE COUNTY FAIR

According to the officials in charge
OF the County Fair for 1922 more
people we're present this year than
for many preceding seasons. The
days were fine with the exception of
showers one afternoon and people
from all over the county took ad-
vantage of the weather to meet their
friends and talk over things which
had happened since they previously
met.
In spite of the railroad strike a
large number of concessions got thru
including the merry-go-round and
the Ferris wheel Girls were seen
carrying the usual dolls, wide stom-
ached and with tinsel decorations a
tremendous amount OF soft liquor"
was absorbed to the benefit and not
the detriment of the drinkers and it
may safely be said that never has
good humor and friendliness been so
evident as at last weeks fair. 1t
was a prohibition argument. of the
strongest kind and one that will be
noted even by those who still be-
lieve in an individual liberty to be-
come public nuisances and public
danger by getting drunk.
The races attracted big crowds to
the track fence and horses, mules
and riders all apparently enjoyed
the trial of speed.
TIL display of agricultural pro-
ducts and fruits showed a wide va
riety can be profitably grown in this
county and if one OF two zones could
be established for the wholesale
growth of such products and carload
shipments made, Knox County would
begin to come into its own as a CEN
ter of trucking and would be decid-
edly more prosperous than it is at
present. Among the exhibits were
the following:-corn, popcorn, oats,
wheat, beans, sweet potatoes, onions
turnips, potatoes, beets, cucumbers,
tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, dried
apples and dried peaches, apples,
crab apples, pears, grapes, water
melons, Zone weighing 80 pounds,)
squash, pumpkins, pawpaws, per-
simmons. This is certainly a goodly
number of products to be raised
from a generous Mother Earth and
as stated, business methods in grow
ing and marketing will lin the near
future we hope) make of Knox
County a leader in shipping just
such products to the outside world.
Among the preserved. vegetables,
etc., were chow-chow, cherries Gu
cumbers, peas, pieplant, pears, beans
peaches, beets, tomatoes, plums,
pineapple (the only outside product)
apples, sweet peppers, parsnips,
blackberries, currants sweet cider.
The jellies looked delicious and
included pie-plant, apple, grape,
green and ripe tomato, and plum. A
beautiful display was that of Mrs.
L. L. Mcdonald, of Pineville, who
had prepared her jellies in pretty
glasses, the jellies being run in, al
lowed to cool and then other colors
being poured on top, producing a
charming layer effect. Cream cheese
also mixed with peppers, butter,
cheese, honey, broomcorn and cane
made up the best display in years.
Doughnuts, cakes, biscuits, ginger
cake, cookies and lightbread were
the products of housewifely skill
that showed a knowledge of the
needs of the human interior.
The needlework department drew
considerable attention. Here were
such articles as a table cover hand
woven on an old-fashioned loom with
coverlid border, the work of Mrs
Sarah Hughes, tatted and crocheted
table covers, pillow covers with

TO THE PATRONS AND FRIENDS
OF THE BARBOURVuILE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The approaching session Of our
public school brings with It mani
fold opportunities and heavy re-
sponsibilities: think, we all
realize.
If we, as teachers, do not realize
this, and do not endeavor to utilize
these opportunities and to meet the
responsibilities with earnestness,
and with zeal and devotion, then we
are unworthy Of the trust commit
ted unto us.
However, the work to be done and
the accomplishments to be achieved
call loudly for cooperation. The
School Board has its part, the pa
irons have their share and, of course
the teachers have their work Re-
missness on the part of any one Of
this means more OF less diminishing
Of results obtained.
, The School Board I have found to
be loyal indeed to the interests of
the pupils. They are willing to put
forth effort, to devote time, energy
and ability in establishing a school
that will best assist the students in
their preparation for life's work.
Too, l have found the patrons, in
general, to be as loyal, as true-spir-
tied, and as much interested in the
progress of their sons and daughters
as any community that I, in a varied
experience, have worked with any
where and what we all desire is true
progress. Let us, then, cooperate.
Some one perhaps, reading this, is
wondering if I have any special sug-
gestions that l make at this time.
Please work with us in having the
pupils at school on time and in hav-
ing their attendance regular. OF
course we are unable to teach alb
sent pupils and tardiness interrupts
the classes and allows in the pupils
careless habit of meeting life's
duties which, in itself, may wreck
the life of a child. Punctuality may
mean more to a child than many of
the things secured from a book.
Next we request patrons to look
after the home study of pupils Pu-
pills above the lowest grades usually
do not have sufficient time in school
to do the requisite study. A lack of
home study last year greatly weak
ened the work of many pupils.
Next l ask that you help place in
the minds of all good-meaning
people the proper estimate of the
work OF the public school in our sys-
TEN of government of the people for
the people and by the people
We ask you to come out to our
opening next Monday morning at
$3.50 o'clock and to begin right by
lending us your cooperation from
the first. Let us leave undone no
act that will assist in placing our
school on that high level that State
Superintendent Colvin and his CO.
workers are so earnestly, so ably, so
persistently striving to have all the
public schools of our Great Common
wealth occupy.

PROBLEM FOUND
IN MIXED Jury
Husbands Rave When Wives
Are Forced To Spend Two
Nights With Other Men

ST. PAUL, March 14.-What to
do with mixed juries overnight!
This question has started a f2rore
in St. Paul, following the story told
by seven women and five men WEo
were locked up for two nights while
celebrating the fate of George
Thoemke, accused of stealing motor
car, and finally found guilty.
Irate husbands Of the women Storm

released from charge of contempt

court held that there were eXtenuat-

jector was not in rational frame of

A. O. Preus, 'sympathized with the
rate husband, and clubwomen clam
ored for better treatment of the wo-
men.
The first night, according to the
story told by Miss Grace Williams,
the only unmarried woman ON the
jury, there wasn't even a curtain IN
the room the men and women had 10
use as sleeping quarters.
1--WE argued until late, and finally
one man yawned and said something
about going to bed" she said. II
was very embarrassing. We had to
put out the lights and get ready for
bed in the dark. 1t was inconvenient,
but we did it. Every little while the
bailiff would come in and say that
there were FIVE husbands outside the
door who wanted to know how things
We're going. They We're very angry"
"The second night we had a thin
curtain between us-the men and the
women. 1t was much better
After the first night, one OF the
women told her husband how she had
to undress in the same room with
five strange men with the light show
ing in from the moon, it was stated.
This husband went to Judge Catlin,
and according to the judge, used Il
full and uneXpurgated vocabulary in
describing his feelings"

Mrs. Josephine Brown, another
member of the jury.

juries are a failure because women
object to staying in the same room

Pacific treaty"

IsEOUR-POWER Pacific treaty"
/ You've heard day say those
four words many times, haven't you?
You've seen him look up from his
newspaper and tell mother this four
power Pacific treaty" is before the
United States senate right now for
ratification.
That sounded very hard, didn't it?
But it isn't really hard at all. It's
Just as simple as the school lessons
YOU had in last years grade-the
ones that seem to easy now.
And if you read tins article to the
end. you'll know just as much about
the four-power treaty and ratiflca-
ton as dad or mother-or your
teacher!
What 1t Is
Now. first Of all, what is the four
power treaty.
Suppose you had a sack Of fine
marbles-big green agates and cloud
ed ones, too,-and one of your
friends had a baseball bat and an
other had a radio outfit and your
sister had set of water colors.
And suppose you all were jealous
Of each other and each wanted the
things the others owned
Aud besides that, suppose there
were several rough children who
might pick a fight with you just to
take your things away.
Then you and your two friends
and your sister might get together
and make promises. You might say
We're all fond Of the things we
own. We promise that not one Of
us Will take anything away from an
other of us.
Band Together
And we promise that if these
rough children try to take anything
away from any one of the four Of as
al Of us win keep them away. Each
Of US promises TO protect all the
rest of Us"
Now, that just what the four
power Pacific treaty IS. For the
problems of great nations aren't
mach diftcren, from the problems
children meet every day.
The four-power Pacific treaty is an
agreement or promise between four
nations-tbe United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France.

THE FOURPOWER TREATY
First of Current Event Discussions For Children That
VIII Appear Frequently in The Times-Recorder

Our country has much trade or
business in the Pacific Ocean. 1t
owns islands there, too.
And Great Britain has much land
in the Pacific. France has a coun-
try called Cochin-China.
And all of Japan's land is in the
Pacific Ocean.
Washington Meeting
These countries think just as
much of their land and islands as
you and your friends think of your
marbles, bat, radio set or water
colors, and they don't want anyone
to take their land away from them.
SO men from these countries met
at Washington last year to sign the
four-power Pacific treaty. The treaty
says:
This treaty is to keep us from
getting into fight and to make sure
We keep the land we own.
"If any Of US get into quarrel,
We promise that all of US will hold
a meeting and try to settle the quar-
rel without any war.
And if any other country picks
on any of us four, we promise we'll
hold 4 meeting and make up our
minds how we can keep that coun-
try from taking our land away.
To Last 10 Years
wen keep these promises 10
years. Then any Of us can be freed
from his promise by giving a years
notice"
Now, that's all there is to the
Horsepower treaty. Easy, isn't it?
But what does dad mean when he
talks about ratification"
The government or the people of
each country that signed the treaty
must ratify the treaty-must say:
"The treaty's all right; Well live up
to it,"
And our senate, which has the
power to ratify treaties for the
United States, is making up it's mind
now whether it will ratify the four
power treaty.
Now, do you understand?
