REPORT FROM Boards SCHOOL

The monthly examination is
over. The children did we'll.
The following names appeared
on the honor roll =
Gid Capshaw, Xanthyc Thomas,
Vircie Miller, Talbert McElroy,
Verna Proctor and Onnie Miller.
There would have been more on
the list, but as the teacher and pu-
pills were strangers to one another,
the progress was not so rapid. 1t
is our aim to do better next month.
We try to teach our boys and
girls to love and admire the country
in which they live, and the flag I'M
der which they live, and try to pre-
pare themselves for the RESPONSE
bility which fronts them in the flu
ture. So boys do your best and
strive to reach the presidents chair
or even the governors for you have
better opportunity to attain those
honors than some who have gone
before you.

A Fruitful Potato Plant.

Not satisfied with yielding an enor-

Irish potato vine growing in the gar
den Of c. c. Nall at Luthersville, Ca,
some time ago began to put out pota-
toes all along its branches, and, when
rsnt to the Constitution" Office yes

growing practically all over the vine.
In letter accompanying the freak,
Mr. Nall states that the vine grew in
his garden. where the land is mix
'ure Of sand and red clay. On taking
lip the plant, he found that the indus
rious vine had not neglected its reg

God is love. and If she would always

One day he was conducted through

Shouldn't Have Novels at Di-ner.

Should you read novels at meals
or should yOu talk? Which Is the BET
ter for digestion? There Is q COM
mon subject of diScusSioa among
women. One person says: Don't
read at meals. especially sn exciting
novel. rs it interferes indirectly with
digestion. Ones mind IL h1ed In
teAtly on the book. when all atteA-
tiOn should be given TO the process
OF mastioation: consequently the
blood which should be helping digeS-
ton is rushed from the head. A
tranquil condition of mind and bOAy
is needed to insure perfect digestion.
l think 1t is far better for one to dine
in company. When the diner talks
he naturally prolongs the meal. thus
giving more time for the food to be
digested."
