A NECESSARY REINFORCEMENT

Although it names no names there
can be no doubt of the specific pur-
pose of the. resolution unanimously
adopted by the Chambers of Com
merce Of this State urging upon Pres
ident Harding the importance of pre-
serving members of the Federal Re-
serve Board In three words, the res
olution means: "Reappoint Gov.
Harding" The only objection to this
obviously proper reappointment
comes from Republicans who put par
~ first. No attack has been made up-
on Gov. Harding's record, for the
simple reason that none is possible.
With an air Of great innocence, how
ever, il is asked: why isn't a capable
Republican as good as a capable Dem
ocrat?" The reply is that If capa-
bic Republican instead of a capable
Democvrat were at the head of the
Federal Reserve Board, he ought to
be kept there, even by a Dmocratic
President.
To displace a man who has dis
charged the responsibilities of this
important position with credit to
himself and satisfaction to the coun-
try merely because Of the ticket he
votes would be TO give notice that the
headship of the Federal Reserve
Board is spoils of office. This would
be in contradiction not only of sound
policy but also Of President Harding's
course upon becoming President
when he refused to consider Gov
Harding's resignation. The reten

COMMON AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

Editor of The Tennessean:
Upon the shoulders Of our common
and High School rests the education
of our girls and boys. Their happi-
ness, usefulness and the development
Of our State depend on their educa-
ton.
The common and high schools are
the foundation of our whole state
school system. If this foundation is
superficial and poor, our state school
system will be Of the same character.
The superstructure is only as good as
the foundation on which it rests.
1t seems that the fundamental prin-
siples of our state school system are
not as they should be, and those in
charge are dealing in fancies, spend
ing too much time, and the states
means on biology, sociology,
psychology and "pigology," and too
little on childology and the true
fundamental principles of practical
education.
They have forgotten that the great
masses of our people are not finan-
cially able to meet the expenses Of
our state university and normals, and,
if the common and high schools are
not provided for them, of the proper
quality, their children will have to go
uneducated.
Many of our counties have one
room buildings, with one teacher,
paid a starvation salary, trying to
teach from 80 to 100 children. Some
of these schools run only sixty to
seventy days year. Yet those in
charge of our state school system
brag about what fine schools we have.
1t is time that our people open their
eyes and go to work to give their chill
dren first-class common and high
school of not less than 100 days a
year, having all modern equipment,
and run by the best teachers that
money will buy. They can have such
schools if they will only support such
candidates for the Legislature and for
Governor that will pledge themselves,
if elected, they will see that all such
schools shall be run on a modern, up
to-date plan, of not less than $50 days
with good equipment, first-class, well
paid teachers, and that they will blot
out the school book trust, state school
lobby, which if allowed to continue,
will bring about such reactionary
measures that our state university
and normals will seriously feel their
effects.

A LOAN TO GERMANY.

In recent issue of the New York
Times, there appeared special
Washington dispatch under the head
lines, Harding for Loans by Banks
to Europe" In the middle Of the ar
ticle appeared these statements:
President Harding believes that
American aid in the rehabilitation of
Europe's financial structure can best
be given by American private bank
at the White House this afternoon in
at the Whit eHouse this afternoon in
the course of an announcement that
the Administration would interpose
no objection to loan to Germany by
American bankers above and beyond
the repartations requirements of that
country, and that it approved the par
ticipation of j. P. Morgan on the FL
nance subcommittee of the Allied
Repartations Committee. t*+"'
ut is felt that such investments
would not only afford on outlet for
the surplus supply of gold in this
country. Sass
"Since any plan for a loan would
involve the flotation Of bonds in the
United States, experts pointed out,
such plan must take into considera-
tion not only the actual ability of Ger
many to pay, but also the opinion of
American investing interests as to
the ability of Germany to pay"
Here is the laundering significance
of the above statements:
We have plenty of surplus gold to
lend Germany.
But for months and months nation
al poverty has been pleaded as the
reason why this nation could not pay
adjusted compensation to its veter-
ans.
We now announce an official policy
of letting American banks make loans
to our late enemy.
But high government officials have
condemned as unsound the proposal
that American banks should help
American ex-service men by loaning
them money or insurance certificates
guaranteed by the American-npt the
German-governme
The bond issue for Germany will
total a truly enormous sum, probably
in the billions. Victorious France,
through American bankers sold half
a million dollars worth of bonds to
American investors a few months
ago. How much will defeated Ger
many need?
But Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion has been preaching the impossi-
bility of new bond issue to meet the
just debt of the nation to its ex-ser-
vice men.
We do not pass judgment here on
the financial soundness Of the off
cially indorsed plan to make huge
loans to Germany. Presumably the
American bankers who will make the
loans know certainly that they may
do so. But what paradox if the
government becomes the silent part
ner in this gigantic international
bond deal, while haggling over paying
its debt to thsoe who stopped VIII
liam Hohenzoliern & Co., getting a
first mortgage on its estate.

THE HOME OF THE SOUL.

In the olden times, it was believed
that the seat Of the soul was the stom-
ach, most likely for the reason that
man is never so completely used up as
when his stomach is out of order. For
the cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them a trial. They only

Our uplands in Henderson county
would remain good if they were prop
erly handled. Before they become
red through constant cropping so as
to leave the soils bare to be washed
badly by winter rains some hay or
pasture plants should be grown on
them so as to allow nature to make
them better. Recently we saw field
that belonged to Ike Buck in red clo-
yer. 1t was still rather stumpy but
could be mown. Such treatment for
the soils Of Henderson county would
have perhaps made drainage bitches
largely unnecessary. We need not
forget that when we violate one of
natures laws that we must pay the
penalty. Justice in natures court is
swift and sure to be meted out prop
erly even though it may often seem
harsh.

that we have seen this year. Every

all of them he possibly can before they
start to laying eggs in the squares
and young bolls. III MAKES NO

Do not forget that nothing better
can be done to control the insects that
infest watermellons that to plant a
few hills of squash two weeks before
the melons are planted, in the same
field. The bugs will then collect on
the squash plants and make killings
and poisoning simpler as well as re-
duce the damage done to the melon
plants.

The report that some watermelons
had been killed by the use of arsenate

use Of another chemical, white arsen-

Let us remember that the impor-
tant things in production of a corn
crop is first, securing a fertile field;
second a good firm seed bed; third,
good seed; 4th, good cultivation. 1t
is now time for us to consider good
cultivation. This must be done cheap
ly. and efficiently. Experiments show
that the important thing to do
is to keep down the weeds. THE
CHEAPEST WAY TO Do THIS is
THE BEST WAY. One deep cultiva-
ton should be given while the crop
is quite young and this should be fol-
lowed by light cultivation that will
kill weeds and grass.

There are farmers in this county
that know that they were damaged
last year. The infestation is greater
now than it was six weeks from now
last year. We believe that it is safe
to say that boil weevils multiply as
rapidly as does the common Irish po-
tato bug.

There seems to be an impression in

Bonds weref furnished. Carroll is charged with causing the death of the victims of the Riaato theatre tra gedy last No vember, when the theatre was burn ed by the ignition of stage draperieS from a spark believed to have come from a pot of incense burning on the stage.
 He was found crin7inauy responsi- b1e by Coroner Mix Cor the tragedy and tried one week ago.

Charity Dept. Is Looking For
 Lost Husband

The Charity Department is just now deeply concerned in the where abOuts of a certain husband. For two years it has been supporting woman with several children whose husband is supposed to have deserted her. It is said that a certain prom inent church was also interested in the womans welfare and extended con- siderable additional help to her.
 Investigators from the department went into all details of the case and called regularly every week at her home with supplies. So far as they could learn there was no evidence of her husband ever being seen about. Nor were there any signs of any other man being there.
 A short time ago the family was stricken with scarlet fever and quar- antined. The investigator called reg ularly as before but noticed no change in conditions at the house although neighbors were of course kept away by the quarantine.
 A few days ago, the investigators Of the departn ent were astOunded to read in the vital statistics of the local papers that the woman had become the mother of a child. Taxed with the fact, the woman admitted it but told them that it was her child and none of their business how she came by it.
 Now the department is up against the question of whether the SuppOS- edIy deserting husband has been slip ping home nights to enjoy the SUD- port it has been giving the wife.
