TOTALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE
Is what may be said of your home any time fire
comes without warning and cleans out in a hurry
leaving you nothing but ashes, unless you are
protected by insurance.
If your home is .worth $5,000 and is burned up
by fire without insurance you get nothing. If
you carry $5,000 insurance with the Farmers Mu
tual, for which you pay us only $37.50 and your
home burns you get $5,000. Which appeals to
your sound judgment ?

?Heady has Sight trucks carrying the
(children Into this central school. The
building will have It nxWt, In ad
dition, there wtll be oas elementary
school ill this township to cost about
125,000. to take care of the children
through the sixth grade.
?StantrmsWfg Township has recent-'
ly completed its building at a cost of
about $75,000. But they are prepar
ing to issue bonds for $25,000 more to
complete the auditorium.
Black Creek Township is now erect
ing its building to cost approximately
$100,000.
Prom Black Qreek we drove to Lu
cama. They are now planning to en
large their school in a similar man
ner to take care of the children in the
township.
From Lucama we drove Into the next
township, where is now located one of
the elementary schools referred to
above. It was being completed and
the school will move into it within a
few days. This Is located at Buck
horn. and was erected at a cost of
$25,000. It Is an eight-room building
likewise having a teacheis* hocie with
all modern conveniences. (I should
have stated that all the central schools
referred to in this article have teach
ers' homes similar to the one describ
ed at Gardners.) This elementary
school at Buckhorn Is one of the neat
est buildings that I have seen. Thers
?-ill b?i six grades, but the high school
pupils will be carried over into the
two town*r.lps thn adjoin it. if this
community develops thore may he a
Junior high school added later.
From Buckhorn we drove to Rock
Ridge, where the ground Is soon to be
broken for a $100,000 building, with all
modern convenience?, slch as I have
described above. This school is per
hape one of the oldest In the county
outside of Wilson. I saw nearly 560
Children on the school ground, for It
was recess period. I saw the old
wooden building and the boys' and
the girls' dormitories that have been
need- for years. But t was Informed
that under the new plan' of transpor
. tation. they now have only two board
ing puplts In the entire Institution. In
other words, children of that age now
may live at home and attend as good
? high school as may be found In the
State. The boys' dormitory, some
what old, is being used for classroom?
and the girls dormitory for ateachers
home. j
In the township adjoining this one
are to be two elementary schools of
the Buckhorn type, and the high schocrt
pupil* are to be transported either til
Rock Ridge or to Wilson,,^
OVERCOMING OPPOSITION AN?-'
WINNINO 8UPPORT
Such "!* an outline of my visit to the
Wilson County schools, and It Is i
object lesson to ev^ry county naperi?*
t en dent, because no man has had more
difflcultlee to overcome In getting a
program started than'bas Superinten
dent Coon. I asked him how he over
came the opposition. His answer waa
that he first Interested his county
board and his county commissioner*.
They being leading men in the county
made it possible for him to organize
groups of influential men 'n each, town
ship, either around a member of the
countySJjoard or a member of the board
of commissioners. Patiently he has
worked with the leading members un
til enough of them had the confidence
to go forward.( Now he says the of
ficials and thaJ leading men of the
county are solidly behind him, and
thisjs Very evident.
I ask(T(l about the financial support
of the schools, because they are all
run not less than eight months. A few
years ago Wilson County was one of
the few to vote a special tax of 30
cents for the entire county to supple
ment the six months t rm. The tax
rates, therefore, are as follows: for
the six months school, 35 cents; for
increasing the term beyond six months
15 cents; and for building 11 cents,
making a total of 61 cents.
They are now using 42 trucks, but
when all the central Bchools are com
pleted, the number In use will be about
50. Since the establishment of the
Gardner's school each township has
voted its own bonds for the erection
of buildings, and the election has been
almost unanimous for schools. But
the interest and sinking fund is pro
vided for in the 11-cent tax referred
to above.
This Is the proof that the children
of Wilson County are soon to have all
the eduiatlonal advantages of the chil
dren in our best towns and cities.

In several Isaues of the TIMES we
have tried to call the attention of our
people to the Importance of looking
after the unfortunate onee In our coun
tjr who are suffering with Tuberculo
sis or the "Great White Pleague." In
these previous articles we have told
about all we know of this dread dis
ease, what It Is, how to discover It and
the Importance of reporting It to me
in the very earliest stages In order
that I may be of service to the Indi
vidual who may be afflicted. Now In
this article I want to tell yon that
there Is no special medicine that will
care this disease. There are some
medicines that may aid In the work,
such as will clean out t*ie bowels to
keep them clean with as little Infec
tion as possible. Sometime some
thing to quiet the nervous system stlm
ulates the appetite and corrects any
dyspeptic symptoms. Outside above
mentioned remedies the only treat- j
