School days are here again and we know
of one important first lesson that is often
neglected—thrift. Thrift must be taught
from childhood on to make it a simple mat-
ter. With all first lessons, teach your child
the value of money, especially the value of
saved money. It will be one lesson that will
be remembered forever and will benefit
him more than you may realize.

WASHINGTON.—Confident that
politics plays no part in the new pro-
hibition enforcement machine, Pro-
hibition Director Woodcock Satur-
day outlined a program to “gain fur-
ther public respect’ for his force and
to assure punishment of the murder-
ers of dry law agents.
Woodcock insisted there was no
political influence operating in the
new dry regime when he was asked
about charges made by Maurice
Campbell, former dry administrator
for New York, in recent articles,
expressed confidence, too, that
politicians were not bothering
workers.
Worried by Casualties.
But what worries the busy dry law
chieftain is the increasing number of
casualties among his men, augmented
Friday by the killing of an agent
during a raid on an Elizabeth, N. J.,
brewery. Woodcock said he proposed
to meet this problem two ways.
“First,” he emphasized, “I hope by
administering the law decently and
honestly to gain further public re-
spect for it and its enforcers. Sec-
ondly, I ask the States to prosecute
murderers vigorously.”
Woodcock said he was satisfied the
New Jersey authorities would do all
in their power to apprehend the
gang which attacked the dry raiders
Friday and killed one of them. He is
leaving the problem with the state
officials and Prohibition Administra-
tor Pennington.

Quality is so necessary in the food you eat.
The difference between good quality and
poor quality groceries is the difference be-
tween an appetizing meal and a meal you
can’t relish.
This season we have already
ginned more cotton than we gin-
ned last season, which is very
gratifying to us. We appreciate
your liberal patronage, and
want you to know it.
UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio.—Paul
Smith, 50, farmer;, died a half hour
after being stung by a bee.
Stung while gathering apples,
Smith became unconscious shortly
after reaching his house, and died
soon after a physician arrived.
Two months ago Smith was stung
by a bee and was unconscious for
several hours. Physicians for a time
thought him dead but revived him.

Willie’s Poem
The class in school was studying
poetry. Willie, a red-haired, frec-
kled-faced boy was asked to write a
short poem and submit it to the class
next day. This is the poem he wrote:
“I saw a pretty maiden
With blue eyes and red lips.
She slipped into a puddle
That reached to her ankles.”
“Why, Willie,” exclaimed
teacher, “that last line doesn’t rhyme
at all!”
“Yes, I know,” replied Willie,
“but, you see, the puddle wasn’t deep
enough for it to rhyme.”

French “Catherinettes” — women
past twenty-five—joyously celebrate
their bachelor-girl state yearly by
putting on funny hats and parading.
But current history finds no par-
allel to their high spirits in the State
of Rhode Island, where a most cu-
rious condition condemns scores of
ambitious girls to profitless spinster-
hood.
State authorities recently grew
puzzled over the excessive number of
unemployed teachers in Rhode Is-
land. They began a survey in thirty-
nine cities and towns to determine
the causes. School authorities, co-
operating with them, helped them to
turn up a very surprising state of
affairs, due to the well-known “com-
bination of circumstances.”
Many Rhode Island communities
refuse to employ married women
teachers. So what happens is this: A
girl, young, attractive, with a bent
for instruction—and, being human,
a natural amative tendency—enters
the State normal school, is trained
under State supervision, receives her
diploma and other credentials. She
starts out to hunt a job in the public
schools—and comes up against a
blank wall! It’s the old, sad story of
the supply exceeding the demand.
She has two alternatives: To aban-
don all thought of a teaching career,
marry some nice boy who appeals to
her, and settle down to domesticity,
or to refuse all marriage offers and
wait patiently for her chance in the
field of instruction. Meanwhile she’s
apt to become an old maid.
The State, it now turns out, has
been overflowing for years with
bright-eyed damsels slowly turning
into sour, disillusioned spinsters, but
the scope of the misfortune was not
disclosed until the survey.
Naturally such a condition was
bound to rouse violent complaints.
The brunt of the bulk of these has
fallen upon the shoulders of Dr. Wal-
ter E. Ranger, state commissioner of
education, whose office is deluged
with letters of protest from prospec-
tive teachers. Most of them have
been biding their time for years, and
they’re getting tired of “watchful
waiting.”
As a result, Dr. Ranger has made
an appeal to cut down the number of
admissions to the Rhode Island State
College of Education. Unless re-
strictions such as he suggests are
made, Dr. Rangei* fears, the schools
won’t be able to furnish teaching
jobs to normal school graduates.
It’s estimated, conservatively, that
over 350 certified teachers are out
of work. Some girls face the prob-
lem by applying elsewhere for teach-
ers’ jobs. But in 90 per cent of cases
they meet with scant success be-
cause most States give preference to
native teachers.

MR. N. R. DANIEL
‘I suffered from rheumatism for
four or five years,” said Mr. N. R.
Daniel, 808 East Arlington avenue,
Ft. Worth. “This settled in my left
leg and hips and I became so sore
and stiff that I walked with a limp.
I could not stoop sufficiently to lace
my shoes. Later I became afflicted
with stomach pains caused by gas.
My kidneys became affected and I
suffered constant back pains.
“I watched local endorsements of
Konjola and decided to give it a trial.
I noticed a change while I was tak-
ing the first bottle so I continued the
treatment. Today the pains of rheu-
matism have entirely passed. I move
my limbs freely and without effort.
The stomach and kidney ailments
have gone the way of my rheumatism
and I no longer suffer from constipa-
tion. Even head catarrh, which
bothered me for years, has been re-
lieved by this new medicine.”
The files of Konjola contain many
such instances. Konjola is free from
alcohol, nerve-deadening drugs or
heart-depressing chemicals.
Konjola is sold in Whitewright)at
Dyer & Jones drug store, and by (all
the best druggists in all towns
throughout this entire section. \
PATHFINDER

Green cotton stalks if plowed un-
der immediately after picking, while
the leaves are still green, may add
humus to the soil to the value of $5
an acre, according to two prominent
Southern Alabama farmers. A
dozen or more other Georgia and
Alabama farmers who are following
this practice estimate that the fertil-
ity added may be responsible for in-
creased yields to at least 100 pounds
per acre. If allowed to dry, these
same cotton stalks will not decay for
an entire season and are more of a
detriment than a good to the soil
Prompt picking of the crop and
the availibility of tractor power
makes it possible to secure this ad-
vantage by timely plowing.
According to N. E. Winters, head
of the crops and soils department,
Oklahoma A. & M. College, the value
of green manure, farm manure and
crop residues often depend on how
rapidly they decay in the soil. Fresh
vegetable matter incorporated in the
soil is many times more valuable
than old carbonized materials that
have resisted decay for a long time.
For this reason there is also
greater recovery of plant food from
the corn crop after it has been either
ensiled, ground or shredded than by
turning under the dry corn stalks.
The plant food of straw is also more
quickly available where it is used
for bedding.
“The best practical method of
drouth insurance yet found,” says
Professor Winters, “is to keep a
large supply of actively decaying or-
ganic matter in the soil. Soils high
in humus will absorb large quantities
of water during a heavy rainfall and
thereby help to check soil erosion.”

bad. With my daughter’s allowance

CHICAGO. — Somebody had en-
riched his own private arms collec-
tion with Gen. U. S. Gran’s pistol
and Davy Crockett’s bowie knife at
the expense of the Chicago Historical
Society.
L. H. Shattuck, director, Friday
night informed police that the two
priceless relics were missing from the
museum’s display cases.
The pistol, a six-cylinder weapon,
was carried throughout the Civil War
by General Grant.
The bowie knife, eight inches long,
was a possession of the fearless
frontiersman, who gave his life in
defense of the Alamo against
troops of Santa Anna in 1836.
