Cur Country friends Have an
Opportunity.

Our country friends in this county
will have an opportunity on August
81, 70 perform a service for their
children that future generations will
rise up sud bless them for. Education
now is much more necessary to a sue
cessful career than it was che hundred.
or ever fifty years ago. 1t is getting
to be more and more SO, for the rca'
81 n that humanity is rapidly multi
plying and competition is much
greater. 1t is the equipped man or
woman that is going to forge TO the
front. There is no way TO equip a
child for life'S duties except by educa-
ton. An education can only come
through the school. Schools can not
be had unless the parents provide
| them. All parents want their children
| to achieve a large measure of success
| and dO.better in the world than they
have done. The tax levy proposed is
infinitely small and will be scarcely
felt by any tax payer. The whole
levy will be kept IN the county and
devoted wholly to the purpose named.
If longer school terms are good for
the townS they are good for the coun-
try arc the people should not get
themselves befuddled by any side issue
but keep their minds centered on the
welfare of their children. and their
duty to them. For the levy to fail to
carry, would speak badly for our
county friends abroad. Other coun-
ties are voting the tax and Grenada
county certainly can not afford to lag
behiud. Remember ohe election is
next Tuesday, August 81.

Eeto the Polls.

/ want to urge the people OF this
to 60 to the polls on August
81 and vote for q longer school term
for their children. We are asking you
TO levy II mills for this purpose, winch
will add about $4,000, 90 to the school
fund or enough to add six weeks to
the term. or this amount the rail-
roads will pay $1,000, 90 or in other
words the corporations doing business
Ia this county and the . residents
will pay at least que. half Of the tax we
demand.
The tax rate in this county for the
past three years has been lower than
most any county In the state. Eighty
days each year is not long enough for
the country children to attend school.
They need a longer school tenn and
the people are able to give it to them
u renaua county is making rapid
strides along other lines, SO let not her
schools lag behind. No man can at
ford to oppose the development of the
attributes Of Il human soul. If Il mai
empties his purse into his head no man

vestment in knowledge pays the best
| dividends. We have tried to explain

and have made it possible for you To

not you love and believe in your child
rem.
I AS an humble public servant who
| has tried to be faithful to every trust
lmpt Sed, l insist that this is The
proper thing for you to do and plead
with you to make the effort now TO

is a good thing that we do not have
them, because we might wish for things
that were not for our good. If we had
everything that we wanted we might
be happy for while, but I think we
would soon become discontinued.
I have often thought how nice it
would be if there were fairies. When I
have wanted something very badly
have wished a fairy would appear and
should appear I would be so astonished
that I would make some foolish wishes,
as an old man and woman are said to
have done when they wished for the
pudding.
They were sitting by the table one
day talking over their troubles, when q
fairy appeared on the hearth and told
them they might have three wishes.
The old woman thought of all the
good things she had longed for, and
said: II wish 1 had a pudding"
Immediately the pudding appeared.
1t vexed the old man to think his wife
had wasted one of their precious wishes
for nothing but pudding.
He said: 81 wish that pudding was
hanging on your nOse!"
No sooner were the words out Of his
mouth than the pudding was hanging
on her nose. While they were thinking
what their last wish would be the pud-
ding got very heavy.
At last the old woman said: 81 wish
this pudding was off my nose
AS soon as she had finished pudding
and fairy vanished and left the old
man and woman to mourn over theiI
losses. EDNA MURPHY.

The Fire Princess
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
do you believe in fairies?'
OF course I do not believe in fairies
now, but l did, just as truly as | be-
lieVed in Santa Claus and the sand
man or that putting salt on birds
tail made it easy to catch.
When the spring came and with it
hundreds OF viOlets that carpeted the
lawn, how carefully I would tread that
1 might not spoil some tiny sprite's
bedroom, and when the full blown
roses clustered on the bushes I would
never pick a blossom without peep
ing within to see if were interrupt
ing a dainty fairys sleep.
But the incest time of all was when
the snow was thick on the ground and
when unseen hands were shaping the
icicles into wonderful pictures on the
window pane Then, while the open
fire blazed on the hearth the little
Princess Firefly would come dancing
out of the glowing Goals, followed by
her troop of attendants, slipping in
and out warming peoples feet, and if
you were very, very good she would
put you to sleep and take you to fairy
land.
She had a wonderful castle. have
been there often, the walls, ceiling and
floor were all made of glowing Goals,
and they did not burn a bit. AT one
end of the hall was a great throne, at
least it seemed great when you were
less than half an inch high, and on it
sat the queen of the fire fairies on her
left hand sat the Princess F'irefiy, on
her RICH the Prince of Smoke, a dark
and cross old man who wanted to mar
ry the pretty little princess.
I remember once how the princess
and I hid in the ashes. A very dis
agreeable thing to do, even for a fairy.
to escape him. Then he sat and puffed
until the people said, How the fire
smokes today"
1 expect the little princess has never
married him, because the fire still
smokes and surely the old man would
be happy if little Firefy had married
him. ANITA WHARTON,

FAIRIES OFFER INSPIRATION

First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
ELIEVE in fairies? Indeed I do!
n By fairies 1 mean all imaginary
beings, including dear old Santa
Claus, and in saying 1 believe in them
of course 1 don't mean that 1 think
they actually exist, but 1 believe we
neeG them. Life would be intolerably
Gull if we could not imagine anything
beyond what we see and everything
good would soon die out.
I love to read in Hawthorne's ''Won-
der Book and 1.-THE Heroes" by
Charles Kingsley, the fairy tales of
beautiful beings the old Greeks be-
ieved in who came to the aid of NOR
tails and did wonderful things and who
brought the schemes of bad people to
naught; Mercury and Minerva and the
others and the lovely dryads who lived
in trees and the neriades of the ocean,
And the Morse fairy tales, the stories
that Wagner made into his operas and
Hans Andersen'S book. Then the fairy
plays of Shakespeare, who l think was
about the first one to fancy the little
people that were smaller than mortalS.
Last summer when some young friends
were spending several weeks at our
home my cousins who lived near joined
with us and we had the best times
playing Midsummer Nights Dream
in our beech and maple woods. Of
course we didn't give it all as they do
on the stage; we just took the story
and acted it, with our own words,
partly. A blonde girl was the fairy
queen and the smallest children were
cute little elves. When we were ready
all the people around came to see it.
Then we did 1.-THE Tempest and 1
was Ariel. I think Ariel is one of the
most interesting of sprites; he can go
everywhere so swiftly and play such
tricks. But 1 am planning peter Pam
for next summer and 1 think it will
be more fun than Shakespeare even.
1t is such a lovely story.
Then of course the little tiniest fair
les are delightful, too. When I was
little mamma used to say: "Can you
see a fairy riding that butterfly that
is floating by?" or Don't you wish
you could see the little elf sailing on
that thistledown?" I enjoyed that so
much.
I think I like "Peter PAM best of
all, but 1 wouldn't give UP any of
them. I do love the hero tales be-
cause of their meaning AS Kingsley
says, 'tThe meaning of them is true
and true forever, and that is-do right
and God will help you
