Our school is progressing nice-
ly under the management of Mis*
Lizzie Husbands.
The farmers are ^usy sowing
oats, more being sown this year
than last, which means more
feed and less cotton.
The young people enjoyed a
musicaie at Jim Long’s Saturday
night.

Thirty Years Together.
Thirty years of association—
just thiuk of it. How the merit

years, and its the best cough end

Cumby, Texas, Feb. 14, 1912
To the Honorable School Board
of Cumby Public Schools :
Since our last school report
our enrollment has reached a lit-
tle over 270 pupils, an increase
of abo'jt 4C over last year. -j
Our plans for the year have
been very seriously interfered
with by the three week’s inter-
mission caused by the meningi-
tis scare. We have rearranged
our woriv and yet believe we will
be able to make the required
work for each grade, provided
we receive a little assistance from
the parents on the tardy and ab-
sent question.
For the month beginning Dec.
4, and ending Jan. 5, we had
over 40 tardies with a little more
than 100 students absent one or
more days. This of course low-
ers the standard of the schdol
and also the grade tof the pupil
for the month. There was some
improvement on the number of
pupils absent for the month just
closed, but no change in the
number of tardies.
$22.57 has been received from
overs and unders for tuition.
$22.35 has been paid out on jan-
itor work and incidental expen-
ses, leaving a balance of 22c in
the treasury.
Two of our teachers are very
badly crowded, /none room.
3rd and 4th grades, the enroll-
ment has reached 81. The en-
rollment of the 2nd and third
grades is but ten less. The teach-
ers are doing all in their power
for the advancement of the pu-
pils in these grades. Rut of
course they c&nhot do as effetive
work as would be done if they
only had the number,* 30, a teach
er is supposed to have. If the
parents of the children in these
grades will lend a helping hand
here it would be worth a great
deal to the student and to the
school by not having any of these
students left over tor the incooi-
\ ' i v
ing grades. We seriously need
two more teachers. But where
i would we place them ?
Cumby needs more school
building to take care of her pu-
pils. Then wrby not begin tilk-
i ing and planning for a school
! right—‘‘A Rural High School”—
! and add thereto such a course
| that will fit 3Tour boy or girl to
! meet the actual needs of domes-
j tic life ? What can we do? Can
we do it ?
Tours in the work.

Attack Like Tigers.
In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers. Bur
often germs multiply so fast the
little fighters are overcome.
Then sei pimples, boils, eczema,
salt rheum and sores multiply
and appetite fail. This condi-
tion demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kid-
neys and to expel poisons from
the blood. “They are the best
blood purifier,” writes C. T. Bu-
dahn,of Tracy, Calif., “I have
ever found.” They make rich,
red blood, strong nerves and
build up your health. Try them.

FROM RUFF
The healch of onr commutity
is improving some.
Mrs. J. R. Robinson of Ridge-
way, who was very low last week,
is improving some.
The farmers ate sowing oats.
Preaching at Mount Zion was
well attended.
Some of our farmers have or-
dered their seed corn, as the last
year’s crop is not lit to plant.
Dud Graves of Cumby has
opened up a blacksmith shop at
Ruff and is doing a good bush
ness. He lives in one of Dr. W.

ANSWER TO
“WHERE IS MY WANDER-
ING BOY TONIGHT?”
’
Perhaps if you wander down
the street you may find your
young Adolphus at the corner
“wid de gang” smoking cigarettes
and enlarging his vocabulary of
smutty tales and cus3 words.
Maybe you might find him on
the brink of the cold river with
nothing between him and the
damp earth, but a pair of atten-
uated pants sitting by the flick-
ering light of a brush fire with
his comrades planning a hen
roost raid. If you don’t find him
at either of these localities just
stop warbling and go to lied and
sleep until about 1 a. m, and you
will find him in his little bed
asleeping the sleep of the weary.
Don’t disturb him, for what is
coming to him w'll require all
his strength and fortitude. When
he awakens have a good break-
going up good and strong, do
you get a calf rope, soak it with
cold water, take little Adolphus
across your knee, face down-
ward, with your left hand prass
ing his neck, let your right wield
the rope on Adolphus’ back, low-
down, in zeal that the spirit of
Solomon of old would cry out,.
“ Well done thou good and faith-
ful mother.” When this is done
take Adolphus’ tobacco away
fast prepared for him, and when from him, give him a hoe and let
a’l is over go to your pastor and him cut down the weeds about
neighbors and ask them to pray jar(]> hoe the garden, and
for your boy; for prayers are l chop the stove wood until ho is
oc" so tired that he feels like going
to bed as soon as he gets his sup-
mighty good things on such
casions.
Then when the prayers are

per. This may nearly break
your heart, but its better thaa
letting the boy go to the deviL
You ha?e tried “moral suasionv*r
kind words and tears on him un-
til it has got old and tough to
him, his heart is hardened; but
the spot to which the rope is di-
rected is tender from non-use,
and if you direct your Christian
efforts toward it in the proper
spirit your boy will come thro
and be good and when - he is
grown up to be a good man he
will be proud of his old mother
and tell his offspring how bad he
was and how his mother’s iron
will and calf rope made him
come across.—Sterling News
