MARSHALL PUBLIC
OPEN NEXT
Marshall School Closed
This Week
Mr. Guy V. Rhodes, principal of
the Marshall school wishes to an
nounce that the Marshall school will
open next Monday.
J Due to the water nipes being brok
en by the ice in the French Broad
River, the Marshall school has had
to remain, closed this week. The
break of the pipes was caused by the
flow or breaking up of the ice. The
buses went out Monday morning:
Ud the teachers were here to begin
work, but no fire could be built with
out water in the boiler, and the child
ren were sent back to their homes.
While the water remains so high in
the river, the damage can not be
repaired. Wednesday rain raised
the water im the river, hence another
pipeline will be laid across the river,
or at least enough to enable the
school to have water, so that the
school can re-open.
Work On Chickamauga
Dam Will Begin At
Once
Knoxville, Tenn. Jan. 2 1936
The Board of Directors of the
Tennessee Valley Autority has di
rected immediate construction of
the Chickamaujra Dam. It will be
built in the Tennessee River, seven
river miles above Chattanooga, Te.in.
Congvees at its last session, directed
TVA to construct this dam.
Ttofc 104-fo.ot high barrier will
bring Chattanooga one step nearer
the goal of maximum flood control.
The dam will create a channel for
9-foot navigation a distance of 60
miles upstream.
Chickamauga Dam will be 5685
feet long, including two earth fill
sections on either side, a concrete
spillway section, a concrete' Intake
structure and a navigation lock.

will include warehouses shops, field
offices nd other necessary' facilities.
A few houses needed for the perma

SAVE
THE GOOD BULL
YOURSELF
by
J. A. Arey,
Extension Dairyman
AND
A good bull represents more than J
du per cent or tne future herd, there
fore good bulls are necessary for
continued limprovement in dairy cat
tle. The true value of a bull can only be
determined by comparing the type
and producjtiofo of his daughters
with that of their dams. This com
parison should include at least five
daughters and be made before the
bull is slaughtered. In using this
basis of measurement a bull's trans
mitting ability is not known until he
is about five years old.
Many bulls are now being sent to
the butchers at around three years
of age because their owners do not
have adequate facilities for handling
them. At about this age many of
them de- elop an ugly disposition
which results in their being slaugh
tered before any production records
can be made on their daughters.
Their places are usually filled by
young immature bulls, whose breed
ing qualities are also unknown. This
indiscriminates slaughter of yotfng
bulls is a great hindrance te herd
improvement in this State. It also
results in the loss oil many good
bulls before their value is known.
Every effort should be made to
locate good bulls as early as possible.
Such bulls, which demonstrated
their ability to transmit , good type
and high pproduction to their daugh
ters are known as "Proven Sires".
The life of these bulls, which take
the guess out of breeding, should
be preserved as Ion as they are ac-
u- f cLb. Hiantmn,
the regardless of their disposition.

Is Patriotism Dead?

"Mussolini has undertaken to jus-

plea that Italy neeas more
as an outlet for its surplus popu

means to attain this ostensible end,
reliable information shows mat tne

not justifiable.
T ' The (World Almanac, discloses
some interesting data on so-called
surplus populations. For example,
Italy is shown to have an aveiage
density of 349 persons to the square

der the rule of a dictator, has an
average population of 360 . to the

the same grounds, has 433 to the

PRESIDENT FRANK
GRAHAM
Dr. Graham comes of a North Car
olina family, long identified with pub
lic education and eeivice to ths
State. After a professorship in his
tory in the University, interrupted
by the War, during which he served
in the United States Marines and
in the First and Tenth North Carolina
Regiaients, he was elected President
in 1930. He has represented the
cause of the people, not only for in
stitutions of higher learning but for
public schools as well. In 1934, he
wag called by President Roosevelt
to advise in the formation of a Sacial
Security Program. He is listed in a
recent issue of THE NATION as one
of the outstanding liberal leadeis in
education for 1935.
President Graham is deeply inter
ested in the country church, particu-

President Graham made an address
in August, 1935, at the Human Rela

Massachusetts, which was circulated
anj impressively received through
out the nation. The title of the ad
dress is "Can Democracy Survive in
the Modern World?" Two brief ex
tracts from the Alumni Review Uni

of its subject-matter and spirit, are:
"On the way up the highroad, the
American people are in the midst of
what may be the saving readjust
ments of our political and economic
system to the social and spiritual
needs of the people. The need for
readjustmemts involves (here follows

Alexander, N. C, Dec. 23, 1935.
In regard to the cannery fter Mad
ison County farmers, I believe it
would be a good plan to get some
cash on the side line for our toma
toes and beans. Tomatoes grow
rood in Madison and I cannot see
why the cannery would not pay. The
Farmers Federation has a cannery at
Hendersonville for the benefit of the
farmers, which brings them money
in at a time when it is in need. And
they are well pleased with it. I
have grown tomatoes and beams for
that cannery and will do all I can
for the cannery in Madison. Hope
enough farmers will back up the can
nery to make it go.
