The Proper Public sentiment.

Our people must realize that, while it is their duty to pay taxes for the protection of life and property, it is their still higher duty to pay taxes for the education of their children. They must believe that it is the inalienable right of every child to demand and to receive the benefits of an elementary education at least, and that the most profitable investment of the body polite, measured in dollars and cents, is the tax fund invested in the brains and capabilities of children. They must feel deeply that conception of truth and recognition of duty are not alone tetaoinlaws, ,Mshrdulwyppp must justify their faith, taxes must be levied and collected, and wise, intel ligent supervision of the public agen- cies of education must be maintained. John IT. Small.

THE BAND CUT ICE.
Too Cold to Make Music, and They Wanted to Be Set to Work
 at Once.

One winter when the First United States cavalry was stationed in Montana the bandmaster went to the commander of the post, Gen. Cuvier Grover, and reported that the members of the band had been or dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit Free Press. He said: ''Sheneral, they did not enlist us to cut ice, but to make moosic. The commanding officer called the adjutant and on his approach said "Mr. Adjutant, Mr. Schmidt wishes the band excused from ice fatigue; he says they enlisted to make music" MT. Schmidt, lowing to the com manding officer, said; Yes, shenera, to make moosic" The commanding officer then said MT. Adjutant, the band will be excused from ice fatigue" Mr. Schmidt bowed himself outs saying: Thank you, sheneral; thank yoIs sheneral." But, continued the commanding officer, as the door closed, MT. Adjutant, the band will take post on the bluff overlooking the river and will make music while the rest of the command cut ice" The weather was in- tensely cold, and as matter of course it was impossible for the players to make sound, their breathing freezing on their instruments. The bandmaster again hur- ried to the commanding officer and said: ''Sheneral, it Is impossible to make moosic; the band would rather cut ice" "Very well, Mir Schmidt, just as you wish, ;" replied the commanding officer, and, call ing the adjutant, he said: Mir Adjutant, the band will cut ice"

AN EDUCATIONAL CATEcHIsM.
A Number of Pertinent Questi Ons For the Fathers and Moth
 CTS of the South.

Is the child the supreme interest of the state
 Is the education of the child the greatest investment of the state?
 Can there be any better test of true citizenship than activity for public eGucation?
 Should the payment of taxes for schools be considered more of priv . ilege than duty?
 Is it wrong to the clild to keep him in a poor school nearby when he might attend good consolidated school mile or two away?
 Can the problem of education in the south be evolved without district tax ation?
 Should we expect an efficient sys- tenn of public school if we do not have non-partizan specialists as school officials?
 Can we employ suitable teachers on pcor salaries?
 Is manual training in the schools q nee essity or a luxury?
 Is the influence of attractive school houses and grounds of decided edu- cat;ve value?
 Should we emphasize only those studies that contribute most to the usefulness of the puril in after life?
 Can the south rise tc industrial pl ominence without industrial educa- ton?
 Would agricultural courses in the public schools greatly increase the pr, duct of southern farms?

MRS. M.J. BRINK FIRST STAGE FCATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou.
 sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as catching cold" 1t may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. It's beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause chill and consider able fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder person from his usual business. In perhaps majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.
 To neglect cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers

the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna according to directions on
 the bottle, and the cold is sure to pass away without leaving any bad effects.
 Unless this is done the cold is al- most sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be
 practically an unknown disease.
 Miss Elizabeth Uber No. 57 Bassett

An Important question has been re-

query is whether women may vote for
members on school boards in cities Of
the first class in Oklahoma The only
provision permitting them to vote is
found in the common school law appli-
cable to country districts. Schools in
cities of the first class are under a
different statute complete in itself.
This law makes no provision for wo-

qualifications of voters it would seem
to exclude women. Many women reg
