From Bald Knob.

To the Standard:
The birds are singing, the bees are
humming, the flowers are blooming,
the grass is growing, the dew sparkles
under the glow of the sun, the forest
is fast being clothed in emerald robes
and everything seems to revel in the
bright light of spring. From attic to
cellar, through parlor and hall, in
forest and field, the merry echoes are
ringing welcome, thrice welcome,
0 Spring! But hark deep sound
strikes upon my ears. 'Tis the loud
pealing notes of large new bell that
has just been erected on Bald Knob
school house, which is only another
evidence of the spirit of enterprise
and push that pervades this quiet
community.
Listen to its loudly pealing tones,
Calling usfrom out our quiet homes
To nestle beneath its pleasant chimes,
Develop our thoughts and store our minds
With a practical knowledge of science
and art,
That on life's stage we may play our part;
And, when the scenes of life are Ger,
Quietly rest on the other shore.
The school at this place is under
the management of Mr.. w. H. Ham

THERE is little or no room todoubt
the fact that England and Russia
will soon cross swords in war. Both
governments are getting every SOL
dier and every implement Of war
they can command ready for early
and active service, and while the
diplomatists are trying to make it
appear that there is no particular
cause or apprehension of war, yet
every outward indication points to
the contrary. War, and lots of it
enough to last all summer-seems
inevitable.

What Will Surely Do It.

Ones hair begins to fall out from
many causes. The important question
is: What is sure to make it grow in
again? According to the testimony of
thousands, Parker's Hair Balsam will
do it. 1t quickly covers bald spots,
restores the original color when the
hair is gray or faded, eradicates dan.
druf, and causes the scalp to feel cool
and well. 1t is not dye, not greasy,
highly perfumed, safe. Never disap-
points those who require nice, relia-
Bile dressing.

Tired and Languid Women.

How many women there are of
whom these words are true: "They
feel languid and tired, hardly able to
bear their weight on their feet, the
bloom all gone from their cheeks, irra>

nerves all upset, worried with the chill
dren, fretted over little things, bur-
den to themselves, and yet with no
acute disease" What a pity it is.
But few bottles of Parkers Tonic

the troubles peculiar to their sex.

Six Sundays in February.


No answer has been received to
the above puzzle. According to my
promise, l will now give the expla-
nation;
All who can make a calculation
concerning the calendar, can easily
ascertain that the year 1924 was Leap
year, and that the first day of Febru-
airy in that year was Sunday; there
fore, the eighth of the same month
was Sunday, the fifteenth, the twen-
ty-secOnd, and the twenty-ninth,
were the same day Of the week this
would give five SundaysIn IN February
for persons that remained at home.
When ship has sailed around the
world eastwardly, the ships record
and a record kept by any of the pas
sengers, will show date one day in
advance of the record of people who
remained at home. This will be true,
whether the ship makes the voyage
in six minutes, six hours, six days,
six weeks, six months, or six years.
The reason is this: Persons who sail
around the world eastwardly, and
return to the place from which they
started, always see the sun set, rise,
and come to the meridian, once more
than they would have seen it set,
etc., if they had remained at home.
The ship mentioned in the exam
pie started to sail eastwardly around
the world in the year 1923. She ar
rived home, by the captains record
and by the chaplain's record, Oh Sun
day, February 80, 1924. She arrived
late at night on the day mentioned,
and was obliged to go into quaran-
tine, as she was suspected to have a
contagious disease on board. When
the sun arose on the next day, the
captain, the chaplain, and all on
board thought it was the morning of
March 1st, 1924; therefore, they
marked their books, Monday morn
ing, March 1st, 1924. AT nine in the
morning, they heard the church bells
ringing, and by speaking to the ply
sicians at the quarantine buildings,
they found that the day was Sunday,
February 20, 1924. AS the chaplain
of the ship had agreed to hold reli-
Gus service every Sunday, and, as
the chaplain at quarantine, and the
people on shore were holding reli-
| gious service, the ship chaplain was
obliged to hold religious service
on the next day after he had
held his fifth service in February,
He was also compelled to call the day
Sunday, February 30, 1924, in order
to make his record agree with the
record of those who remained al
home. This made six Sundays in
February for the chaplain of the
ship. j. p. CLARK.

He was an excellent specimen of the

living than most of those who call them
selves the laboring clases,-as if none
but those whose hands were hardened by
the use of farming or mechanical imple-
ments had any work to do, He had that
sagacity without which learningis mere
incumbrance, and he had also fair share
of that learning without which sagacity
is like traveller with a good horse, but
who canpot read the directions on the
guide boards. He was not man to be
taken in by names. He well knew that
oftentimes very inocent-sounding words
mean very grave disorders; that all de-
grees of disease and disorder are fire.

term; that "run down" may stand for q

gence, which calls for glass of fsoda-water

which will pack off the subject of it, at
